The average American waistline is expanding into what used to be a size zero T.V. zone. For the critical viewer, an emerging diversity of women’s images sparks a point of subversive discussion about individuals beyond their skin. For the passive viewer, this type of media is becoming as a pathetic excuse for entertainment.

Letters to the Editor: a God Who Gives Us a Pulse
by admin on November 11, 2009 | 1 Comment
Last week, a concerned and very well-intentioned student wrote about his concern over the school paper’s name change from The Crusader to The Pulse. I have to disagree and say that the name change is one of the best things that could have happened to this campus.
The student writes, “I understood The Crusader because we [...]
Heads or Tails: The Green Obsession
by Kate Quisenberry on November 11, 2009 | No Comments
America is obsessed with going Green. It seems that everywhere I go I am bombarded with some new project to try to save the animals or make the world a cleaner and brighter place. I even felt the presence of the green movement the other day when I was in the grocery store. Instead of [...]
Heads or Tails: Pro-Green
by Samantha Campbell on November 11, 2009 | No Comments
Green is where it’s at. Everyone’s going Green. Is it just a fad or is it something more?
Okay, so there’s a hole in the Ozone layer–yeah, whatever. It’s been there forever, no big deal. It’s getting bigger? I doubt it, it’s just a government conspiracy. There are more important things to worry about in the [...]

Standing Up
by Paul Drake on October 28, 2009 | No Comments
As a (hopefully) graduating senior at Spring Arbor University, I’ve experienced a lot with the school. The one thing I have experienced most? Complaining. To be more specific, complaining about the rules and the way things operate. I’ve heard complaining about open hours, complaining about what beverages of-age students can and cannot consume, and most [...]
An Individualist Mindset in a Communal World
by Elise Arvidson on October 28, 2009 | No Comments
I’ve been watching many Jane Austen movies lately with my roommates. No matter how often I see them, I can never seem to get enough of “Pride & Prejudice,” “Sense and Sensibility,” and “Emma.” During our last Austen-fest (we watched “Emma”), I became suddenly aware of a concept that I had surely known, but to [...]

BRAVO! Congratulations to Michael Metts and the whole PULSE staff for designing an exceptional university level publication! From cover to cover, it impresses with great layout, writing, graphics, photography and a philosophy that engages the whole campus. Michael states that the CRUSADER is “dead” and I say long live THE PULSE!

The Squeeze
by Johnathon Glowacki on October 14, 2009 | No Comments
I received a fortune cookie once that said, “Do not compare yourself to others, you will be happier.” This truly insulting wisdom comes with a little bit of Chinese sarcasm attached to it. I’m not one to take a fortune cookie seriously (unless of course you turn it into a dirty joke), but I’m inclined [...]
