Written by Kelli Shiroma and Alethia Selby They’re Cougars. We’re Eagles. The intense Biola/APU rivalry is inherited the moment a new student steps onto either campus. But when you line up the facts, Biola and APU really aren’t that different. We’re both Christian universities in Southern California. We swap professors. We even share a fondness for the color red. The Eagle recently took a trip to APU to offer Biola’s love. Let’s keep it going. To those who don’t know them well, seniors Joelle and Marie Tanaka look just like any twins. Standing side by side with their straight, black hair and matching tennis rackets, the girls are almost impossible…

Written by Emily Agenjo As the years have gone by, our professors have stepped into more fashionable — and some much less fashionable — shoes than we could imagine. Our professors lived among the generations who changed what we wear today. They were part of the days of rock and roll, the British invasion, disco, the Jesus freaks movement and grunge.

An Alaskan native, he grew up in Juneau, a town where the fishing industry is the third largest employer and fishing…

Jered Scott Martin from The Point on Vimeo. Written by Kelsey Osterman Imagine yourself a little farther down the road of life. After four years of all-nighters, research papers, general education classes and countless cups of coffee from Common Grounds, you stride across the stage to receive your college diploma. You momentarily bask in the polite applause as your sweaty hand tightly grips the expensive piece of official paper. Your heart pounds and excitement floods your body. Nothing can stop you now. Five months later, that jubilant day is but a dim memory of better times. After enduring numerous interviews, scouring online job listings and racking up an enormous phone…

Written by Kelsey Osterman 1. Checking Mailboxes After Chapel Biola students are quite fond of checking their mail in general, but they especially enjoy peeking into that metal box right after chapel. As if being in a gym full of hundreds of students for an hour is not enough, Biola students love squeezing in with their peers to spin a few numbers and check their most-likely empty mailboxes. Surprisingly, students don’t get trampled in the post-chapel stampede to the mailboxes. Even though the majority of mail these days is electronic, Biola students seem to believe that checking their mailboxes is a daily necessity. 2. Walking Barefoot If they are not…
