The Collegian

Issue date: 10/2/08 Section: Sports

Hillsdale College's academic load is difficult and weekends are convenient to finish up the work procrastinated from the beginning of the week, but is sparing a few hours away from the library going to determine the finale of one's academic career? When there are more people in the library and in dorm rooms studying on a Saturday afternoon then at Muddy Water Field, the purpose of the liberal arts education we seek from this college is unsuccessful. Life goes beyond the books. It's not a matter of the love of athletics; it's a matter of supporting your colleagues on and off the field, track and court.

With the most exciting fall weekend in Hillsdale College athletics coming up this week, take a break from studies, tell members of the cross country team good luck at the Notre Dame Invitational on Friday, check results to see if our volleyball team upsets one of the nation's best volleyball teams at Grand Valley State University and stop by the swim team's Blue & White before heading to the field to cheer on the Chargers as they seek a Homecoming victory versus the University of Findlay Oilers.
