Senior newseditor,Joy Wickholm said,"Cedars really taught me to be flexible and ingenious with my time - especially when you work from three in the afternoon until three in the morning afew nights in arow." Cedarsis a biweekly publication and every other week its staff spends all afternoon and most of the night editing stories, cutting headlines, and doing other related tasks to have the paper ready for the printers by Thursday morning. Cedars is the only Cedarville College news source of its kind, printing everything from past campus events to fashion columns. Within the confines of a single issue one can find musicreviews,the latest Yellow JacketSports scores,and even information on where totake a date. The editorial staffconsists ofthe four people with the addition ofa business managerand photographer. These four have individual responsibilities for each issue, but they work in conjunction to bring the final product together the week the paper is issued. Cedars utilizes alarger base ofanywherefrom 10-15 writers to follow stories and submitthem as assigned. TheCedarsbaseofoperationsislocated as high asonecan goin the old Fine Arts Building in a tiny,butcozy attic office that becomes the sight ofthe biweekly,late-night ritual.The cramped quarters and stressful catastrophes have broughtthe stafftogether in a unique way. Wickholm concluded,"We've had a greattime getting to know one and another while under the influence ofcaffeine and sugar,and while enduring poweroutages and ice storms. These are lasting friends and I will miss them." 148 campus life
