September 19, 2003 by Steve Holt

By Steve Holt, Staff Writer Kendall Massey is a lot like Thomas Jefferson-at least in his own mind. Massey, who was hired as the director of student productions in August, said his leadership style resembles Jefferson's in that he has surrounded himself with a "cabinet" of assistants to fulfill one of the campus' most stressful positions.

Leaving early and cheating Chapel

September 19, 2003 by Optimist Editorial Board

No longer content to talk over or simply ignore the daily speaker, many of you have taken your disrespect for ACU's daily meeting and devotion to the next level: you walk out. The dishonesty you showcase puts you on the same level as a student who forges a paper or cheats on a test. In effect, all of you who try to ... [Read More…]
