Clubs
The Crusader Psychology Club
Author: The Crusader Staff Writer, Katelyn Saxe
What is the psychology club? This club was started by a group of psychology members and the help of professors as a way to talk and educate students about hard topics in the field and create a medium for students interested in psychology but not looking to do that as their major. They host fun activities as a way to bring some light to the stressful college life. They have done events that include things like water balloon tosses and obstacle courses. There are also more laid-back meetings where they deliberate and have fun, energizing conversations.
Who can Join? You may think this would be reserved for the psychology majors, but the club is offered to any student here at Belmont Abbey. All are encouraged to come and engage because everyone faces the troubles associated with
stress and burnout of being a bust student, and what a better place to list off some of the weight of those problems!
They typically meet on Thursdays at 12:15 pm, so if you are looking for something to do in between classes, then drop by room 111 in the science building. Just stop by a meeting and see what you think! You do not need to make any formal request to join. Come talk to any of the students that are in the group and just see what you think of a meeting. They are very open to anyone and enjoy the company of a student of any major.

Lemon’s Club
Author: The Crusader Staff Writer, Brian Hoverath
While one may be forgiven for thinking that the Lemons club of Belmont Abbey has something to do with the sour citrus fruit, the reality is a lot larger and louder.
Founded only one year ago, the club is an offshoot of the Motorsport Management club and is based around a motorsport event known as the 24 hours of lemons, a play on both the term for a junk car and the 24 hours of Le Mans. The event sees competitors enter the race with a car under five hundred dollars and attempt to both beat other drivers and have the car finish without breaking down.
The teams, however, can spend more than 500 dollars on anything that could qualify as safety equipment, as it would be dangerous and potentially fatal to enter without some equipment. All drivers are required to wear a fire suit, head and neck support device or HANS, and a helmet rated at SA 2015 or above. Each car is also required to have a form of fire suppression, a roll cage, working tail lights, a racing seat, a harness, and a kill switch.
Unlike most clubs, the Lemons Club is not sponsored by the school, but rather the members of it and any sponsors that may take an interest. The current car for the event is a Nissan 300zx, a two-door sports car that is the least loved of the Nissan Z line. The team will be made up of a number of drivers, up to 6, and a small crew of engineers.
The race was scheduled for the 11th of December at the Road Atlanta Racetrack. The lemons club feels that the race helped members of the club learn more about the management and the finances that go into racing. The race hopefully helped many with valuable skills, such as how to procure sponsors and how to get ready for the various elements that go into car racing

Music Club: Do, Re, Mi, Fa,
Author: The Crusader Staff Writer, Alijah Wilson
Do you wish you could make more friends? Do you want to join some school activities outside of class? Well, I know just one place for you: The Music Club.
The Music Club is a school activity where all students can come together and connect with new people through music outside of class. You don’t have to be musically talented to come to sing with us, and that’s the good part about it is that a lot of people are afraid to come because they think they will get judged, and that is not true. Just come by the Grace Auditorium on Wednesday night at 7 pm.
We play and sing lots of different kinds of music. Most of us don’t have our own instruments, but we are saving money to buy some. If you have any instruments that you would like to bring, then we would love for you to bring them.
My fellow friend Josh says,” The music club is a place where you can connect with people through music.” He also says, “if you like music, then join because we are always looking.” He is not wrong, the one thing that connects us emotionally is music. We are very welcoming, so don’t be afraid to sing some songs. I hope to see you at the next club meeting.
