    OPINION: Santa: A Christian Notion

    As Christmas draws near, my mind is bombarded, as always, with memories of Christmas’ past and those dearest of memories often include that jolly fellow, Santa Claus. In the house I grew up in, Santa had a deep impact on our lives. We baked cookies for him and left carrots for his reindeer; my siblings and I would write letters and our parents would pretend to mail them. It was magical! We knew the guy at the mall wasn’t the real Santa, because the real deal had a ton of pr

    Harvest Festival Fun

    The Monday night before Halloween was a very festive night here at Blue Mountain College. October 30th was the night of the college’s annual Harvest Festival.

    Reaching Refugees in Toronto

    BMC Students Jump Cultural Barriers at Sports Camps During their summer in Toronto, Canada, BMC students Coty Cook and Katy James interacted with people from Pakistan, Greece, China, and the Philippines.

    Refreshed at Fall Retreat

    BMC Students Fellowship at Weekend Retreat By the end of October, stress levels at BMC begin rising to new heights. Students start to feel overwhelmed by the mountains of tests, papers and projects to finish before finals week. Many students vanish within the depths of the library or their dorm rooms, hunched over computer screens or heavily highlighted textbooks. Nap activity among students increases exponentially. For years the BSU has provided an opportunity to relieve str

    New Faculty Highlight: Dr. Mims

    The Biblical Studies department has recently gained a new professor, Dr. Tim Mims. Many readers may already know him, either through his classes or by hearing him speak in chapel on occasion. Friendly and encouraging, Dr. Mims is a welcome addition to the BMC family. Dr. Mims attended college right here at Blue Mountain, and later went on to seminary to acquire a master’s and then a doctorate degree. When asked what advice he would give current students based on his own exper

    Bonds of Brotherhood: Rush for Men’s Societies

    The last issue of The Beacon included an article on the women’s societies rush. Now we turn our attention to the other half of the student body and the men’s societies. EK For their rush, the EK's hosted a game of Ultimate Frisbee and then held a party in Cockcroft with Buffalo Wild Wings and coffee punch. Students were invited to hang out and play video games until the crowd slowly dispersed. The President of the Ekklesian society, Jacob Riley, described the overall atmosphe
