Finals week is incredibly stressful, I get it.

No seriously, I get it.

But we are here to help. The library has extended its hours for finals week and we also have coffee, tea, and hot chocolate to encourage you to come in and stay focused once you’re here. We have survived 15 grueling weeks of the semester and we only have one week left. That’s nothing. So come into the library and get to studying.

Also, don’t forget to take a break this week too. Go out with friends, exercise, have devotional time, or of course, TAKE A NAP. This week is all about using your time wisely and staying focused when needed.

Another way to brighten your day through this dreary week of finals is to brighten someone else’s. Take your friends a coffee when you know they’re studying. Send them a word of encouragement. Just be friendly. Don’t let this week drag you down, lift up someone else and you’ll be surprised how much it helps you too.

Hang in there everyone, we’re almost done. We’re all in this together.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 12…..7:30 AM-12:00 AM

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13…..7:30 AM-12:00 AM

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14…..7:30 AM-12:00 AM

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15…..7:30 AM- 11:00 PM

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16…..7:30 AM- 5:00 PM

Seven reasons to go to Homecoming

24 Wednesday Sep 2014

As October looms on the horizon, the whispers and rumors of Homecoming start flying through the campus. Days of Homecomings past are remembered fondly for most, perhaps not so fondly for some, but all with a recollection of the excitement and energy that whizzes through the college. For some of us, this will be one more Homecoming to add to the several that we’ve already been to. Some might think, ‘why bother going? Been there, done that!’. But I’m here to give you seven awesome reasons as to why you should gear up and attend Homecoming 2014 with gusto!
1. The Tenth Avenue North concert.
Tenth Avenue North is a totally awesome band, and anyone that’s into Christian music will most likely agree with that statement. My personal favorite is ‘Hold My Heart’, and I’ve got a ticket purchased and fingers crossed that they will play the song at the concert! Tickets are only ten dollars for students, an incredible discount! Student Life has all the steps you need to get a ticket of your own, as well as one for any family or friends that you would love to jam out to!
2. Athletics.
For sports fans all through campus, there’s plenty of opportunity to go out and support our fellow Highlanders all throughout the day! From soccer, to volleyball, to baseball and more, Cairn has athletic games happening all throughout the day! Grab a buddy, bring a soda and go cheer on your fellow classmates!
3. The Walkway Fair.
In my opinion, this is one of the biggest events of Homecoming. The giant and awesome fair that happens on and around the walkway goes from 11am to 4pm, and has everything from a giant ferris wheel to a rock wall and more! Delicious goodies and fun games abound throughout the fair, and it’s the best chance to grab your group of friends and wander around, having a blast and creating memories that will last a lifetime!
4. Discussion Panels.
For those of you who have an intense desire for learning and really want some enduring questions to struggle with, these discussion panels are for you. For the first panel, Dr. Jonathan Master will be interviewing three of our very own professors, Dr. Marti MacCullough, Dr. John Master, and Dr. Bob Wenger! They’ll be questioned about their experiences with Cairn, their faith, and more! You can even submit your own interview questions by followingthis link! 
The second discussion panel focuses on Cairn’s outreach to urban areas and cities. Especially if you’re in a relevant major, this will be a panel you will want to be at. Cairn alumni are already out and about making a difference in the urban world, and this is your chance to see how! By following the above link, you can submit questions for this interview as well!
5. Build-A-Boat.
Build-A-Boat is a fantastically fun event to attend, especially if you don’t want to suffer the wet fate of the riders yourself. All the laughter, all the fun, and none of the mess! Get together with friends at the pond to watch as racers try to paddle their home-made boats across the pond to get the golden oar! We’ve had boats made from plastic play house doors, plastic tubes, wood planks, and more! You will laugh, grin and cheer as the racers paddle and flounder in their quest for the golden oar!
6. Historical Tours of Cairn.
For alumni and current students alike, the multiple tours and historic memorabilia that are on display are really intriguing and exciting to see. Especially as we start fresh, having just passed the blessing of our centennial year, it is amazing to see all that has passed in one hundred years and gaze at all the work that God has done in our very own college. For me, I always enjoy seeing were we have come from, and look forward to where we are heading next.
7. Arts@cairn.
As one of the final events in the evening, this is a great opportunity to cool down and relax after such a busy and exciting day. Pre-registration is necessary for the event, but it’s easy, online and free! People will gather in the lower BLC to have an artist reception with Victor Atkins. It’s a wonderful chance to get to meet with the artist, admire his works and delve into the mind of the one that created such beautiful art. It’s an exciting chance to get to know the ‘how and why’ of his creations. There is always a meaning and intention behind a piece of art, and this is your chance to learn directly from the artist what his intentions were!

As you can see, Homecoming 2014 is going to be a blast. It’s a wonderful time to enjoy family and friends, and it’s the chance to really rejoice with the community that God has provided us with. I wouldn’t miss this for the world! I know I’ll be going, and I hope you will be too!
For a full time schedule and preregistration forms, check out this link!  There’s so much more that I didn’t list, so take a look and start making your own list of what you want to see and do! Hope to see you on October 4th!

Should Scotland be an Independent Country?

16 Tuesday Sep 2014

≈ Leave a comment


As the vote on the Scottish referendum approaches, the vote to stay or go has drawn near to a 50/50 split. For decades, many of the Scottish people wished to be their own country, separated from England and the Queen. But becoming an independent country is no easy task; there are many details that must be considered in order for independence to be a wise choice. Although Scotland already has their own educational system, health care, and police force run independently of England, questions such as the economy and currency, energy, oil and gas, pensions and welfare, citizenship and immigration, military, and the possibility of obtaining EU membership, must be considered.
Scotts desire to have more control in what takes place within their own government. Currently, with the UK’s system of government and parliament there is devolution (the delegation of power to a lower level) this gives Scotland a certain amount of control within their country. Many Scots are currently arguing that they do not have enough power and that the only way to truly make the best decisions for Scotland they need to have their own government system in place. Others argue, that a No vote for the referendum is better, for with it, they are not giving up the possibility of gaining more control, but rather, from a no vote a greater devolution would take place. 
As of this point, the current polls are:
No – 47%
Yes – 46%
Don’t Know- 7%
                
There is much or the UK’s system of government that I still yet to fully understand, there are so many different approaches that countries can set in place to be run successfully. Although I may not understand all of what is taking place, it has been fascinating keeping up with this news through the use of The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Wall Street Journal that are both located within the library, along with the BBC’s website. Having both of these newspapers and many more at the library are a wonderful resource to expand out of the “bubble” of college and keep connected with all that is taking place in the world.

Cheap Library Dates

13 Monday May 2013

book dateEver wonder about when and where you can take your girl or spouse on a date for no cost? I know the exact place for you to take your date for free of charge and when that place is open. The Masland Library at Cairn University is open for couples to go on library dates! Library dates are a fun experience for couples to have if they are broke and want to have an excellent but studious time together.


A library date occurs when a guy (or girl) wants to take their loved one on a date that is free of charge. The first thing that they need to know is when the Masland Library is open. The library is open on Monday to Thursday from 7:30 AM to 11:00 PM; Friday from 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM; Saturday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM; and Sunday from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM.  For special hours please see our library hours page here. When the library is open, the date will begin when once a couple enters the library. The order of events that will be described does not have to be done chronologically.

If the couple has a love of art and romance then the first place they should go together in the library is to see the Grace Livingstone Exhibit and also see the other art that is featured on the Mezzanine level. Second, they will go to the downstairs computer lab where a lovely student assistant will greet them. In the computer lab, they will sit at two different computers and get on Facebook (if they have Facebook accounts) and Facebook chat with each other. They will continue to send each other adorable messages for a little while. Next, while they are still at their computers, they will show each other their favorite databases that are offered on the library website: library.cairn.edu. Some of those databases may include ARTstor (which is famous for Lit/Arts projects), Business Source Elite (which is very helpful for business research), JSTOR Arts/Sciences Collections, and many more!

After sharing some memorable moments in the computer lab, the couple will go to Juvenile Lab which is located next to the Curriculum Lab on the Mezzanine level. As they browse the various children’s books, they will have an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia and will grab their favorite children’s books from the shelves and proceed to read to their loved ones. The time in the Juvenile Lab is a great time to pour your childhood feelings into someone else so that they may love you all the more. The books in the Juvenile Lab are also useful for the elementary education majors. When the couple finishes with their stories, they will find one of the small cubicle desks in the library and share it. The cubicle desks are very useful for all students to use when they want to do homework with peace and quiet. So with peace and quiet, the couple can sit together and whisper sweet little nothings to each other. The couple will leave the library very much in love and still without money. Nonetheless, they will treasure those sweet moments together during their library date for the rest of their days.

Some of these ideas are simple ideas for loved ones to invest their time in if they want to have cheap library dates. Enjoy the Masland Library and all of the wonderful dates you may have there. I trust that the student body at Cairn University will also have ideas to contribute to the concept of a cheap library date, and I hope they will treasure those moments.
