A Southern Adventist University student won Tuesday's semifinal episode of the Jeopardy College Championship. Hans von Walter, a junior biochemistry major, will move on to the finals.
Von Walter is the first student to represent Southern Adventist University on the award-winning TV quiz show. He won tonight’s semifinal round against students from UCLA and Ohio State.
In this version of Jeopardy, non-finalists don’t keep the money they win in a game. Instead, money earned in an episode acts like points. However, that doesn't necessarily mean they go home empty handed.
NBC's Community used a logo and color scheme very similar to that of Southern Adventist University to represent the show's county museum.
Community is a television comedy series about a group of students attending a fictional community college called Greendale. On the other hand, Collegedale, TN is home to Southern Adventist University.
The logo is found in the show's Oct. 14 episode, "Basic Rocket Science."

Today is September 11. On this day, nine years ago, terrorists attacked the United States.
The attack was disgusting. Horrible. Unthinkable. Wrong.
It made us angry. It made us fight back. It made us think twice about yelling "bomb" at an airport.
It fueled religious and ethnic discrimination. It caused many to stare at someone wearing a taqiyah or hijab.
But here's the thing: Jesus loves you and me no matter how many times we've hurt Him. Nor does He think that all Adventists are the same. Can't we do the same?
So, today is September 11; today is also Sabbath. Come up with something nice to do for someone. Random acts of kindness go a long way. They are like a boomerang. Try it out and you'll see what I mean.
P.S. Burning a Quran IS NOT a random act of kindness. Don't do it.
The winning documentaries are:
• "Surgeons of Hope" by Maranatha Hay
• "Armed for the Challenge" by Patricia Thio
