Student Life 17 Student Publications Students have the primary responsibility for the publication of the college year– book, The Miracle, and the college newspaper, Whispering Cedars. A faculty-student committee provides direction and advice. Students interested in staff positions may apply to the editors. Community Service From time to time, Cedarville College students participate in community serv– ice projects. For example, Alpha Chi, a student organization for men, serves the college with ambulance service and the community with disaster relief. They maintain a Red Cross Disaster Van, given to them by the American National Red Cross. All squad members receive standard and advanced first aid training which prepares them for their duties on the squad. Counseling Services The administration, faculty, and student personnel staff members enjoy a unique personal relationship with individual students and experience meaningful counseling relationships with them. A Counseling Center has been established to provide personal assistance in a wide range of non-academic areas in order to facilitate educational and personal develop– ment. The goal of the Counseling Service is to aid individual members of the college community in making their college experience as enriching and meaningful as pos– sible by offering assistance in their discovery of and conformity to God's will for their lives. Professional counseling personnel work closely with members of the staff and faculty. Musical Organizations Students with musical talents have many opportunities to participate in college musical programs, gospel teams, Concert Choir, Choralaires, Marching and Sym– phonic Bands, Brass Choir, Symphonic Orchestra, and vocal and instrumental en– sembles. A pep band performs at athletic contests. Student Senate The Student Senate is the representative assembly of the student body. Its officers are elected annually by the student body. The Senate, in addition to its officers, in– cludes two representatives from each class, residence hall representatives, campus organization representatives, and a faculty advisor. The purpose of the Student Senate is to assist in providing an effective program of co-curricular activities; to work with the proper authorities, or take action in accordance with the desires and in the best interest of individual students or for the entire student body. Student Senate is to function in a manner that is glorifying to God and in harmony with Scripture and supportive of the purpose and objectives of the college and the principles on which it has been founded. Election to the Student Senate provides an opportunity to exer– cise democratic leadership in student affairs. The Student Senate is responsible for and the supervision of such fund raising projects as the student body project, the student missionary project, and an occasional chapel program. Student Senate also sponsors the annual "In-Forum" lecture series.
