Corporate worship means considering others present
I'd like to say, first of all, that I agree that the Nov. 13 column ("Loud Chapel singers should turn it down") may not have been the best way to acknowledge this singing issue. The appropriate way to deal with a difference with anyone would definitely be to speak to them. But the discussion started, and has now continued, differently. Secondly, ... [Read More…]
On Their Toes
By Melanie J. Knox, Page Editor The dancers move lightly, heads up, eyes straight ahead, glancing occasionally at the wall-to-wall mirrors. Anslee Craig and Andrea Edwards, both ACU students, push themselves up the tip-toe of their "point shoes," finally balancing and gracefully raising their arms.

Thanksgiving a time to serve
Amid fears of Saddam, Osama and snipers, ACU students are safe. As the national economy flails, ACU students are financially secure. While Indian children who suffer great injustice pray to see another day, ACU students know what they want to do with their lives.

Waters to run in first national meet
By Steve Holt, Opinion Editor Her high school dream was to be a rare, white, American sprinter to compete in the Olympic games. The dream may have been born even earlier than that, however-in the 100-meter dash on field day at Aledo Elementary School. By all accounts Angie Waters was meant to run very fast for short distances. But the ... [Read More…]
Men seeking first title against perennial champs
By Steve Holt, Opinion Editor ACU men's cross country teams have accumulated quite a long list of accomplishments and boasted more than a few outstanding athletes through the years. Seventeen Lone Star Conference team titles since 1980. Five South Central Region titles since 1983. Twenty-seven all-America selections since 1986. But the "holy ... [Read More…]
Trial period for SA plan rejected
By Paul A. Anthony, Editor in Chief After about two hours of heated debate, the Students' Association Congress rejected a proposed trial period for the so-called "big shake-up." After being confronted with stiff opposition to the shake-up in previous meetings, executive president Jeremy Smith proposed that SA operate under the proposal next ... [Read More…]
