A cold front brought Tuesday's high temperature of 93 degrees down to below the freezing point on Wednesday morning.

Duck Dynasty stars should stop by ACU
Duck Dynasty is a good show. It has its fair share of haters. It's not the most intellectually stimulating show, and it's probably somewhat scripted, but it is still good entertainment. It highlights the way of life for filthy rich rednecks. It's hilarious, it has a strong connection with faith and it is great television. Si is my favorite (like ... [Read More…]

So, in the spirit of making financial cutbacks for the greater good, let's examine how ACU students could save some green to make these terribly expensive and terribly ... [Read More…]
