Spick and span for the dominican
Everybody has heard that cleanliness is next to godliness. This spring, 10 girls are finding out how true that is.
In May, Trinity Western University will be sending a summer missions team to the Dominican Republic for the first time. The all-female squad started Spring Cleaning, in effort to raise funds for the trip.
In return for trip donations, team members will clean whatever a client desires, from vacuuming to window washing to yard work.

Douglas College student gives birth in classroom
NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C. (CUP) – Nursing student Haddy Saal-Keita gave birth to a baby girl during her English midterm exam late last month.
The Douglas College student began labour pains only minutes after the exam began on Feb. 27. Instructor Jill MacLachlan quickly alerted security, who then called paramedics to the scene.
Two students stayed inside the room to give Saal-Keita support until the paramedics arrived. Born inside the classroom, the baby’s umbilical cord had to be tied off by a student’s shoelace, and the baby was then wrapped in a coat.

STAFF VOICES SHOULD BE INCLUDED
Dear Editor,
Just wanted to say how much I enjoy reading the Mars’ Hill. The past few years have seen a marked improvement and you do deserve the awards the paper has received.
In your recent issue the main topic was “the great divide” and I noted that a number of quotes were solicited from faculty and student life staff (who are the people on campus most students know).

I am considering more and more that a smoker’s relationship with his cigarettes has many of the same qualities as my relationship with Christ.
Imagine for a moment that you smoke. Consider the time you take to smoke a cigarette or two. You stop, light up, inhale and exhale for seven or ten minutes. Your brain is exhilarated and yet at ease; you are no longer primed toward the distress of the present. You sigh and end the ritual by crushing the tiny embers under your foot or into an ashtray. As you go about your day, the memory of the cigarette is in your breath, on your fingertips. You notice some people glance at you with displeasure. But such is what you are: a smoker. And as a smoker, you understand that there will always be a new beginning: a new pack to open, a fresh cigarette to smoke. The beginning is constant, stable and safe.
