University color opposes morals
Sometimes I wonder why I went to a university whose school color is purple. We claim we are Christian and have a huge focus on the 'C' in our name, yet our color is blatantly unchristian. At VBS I learned a song called "Jesus Loves the Little Children." This song seems to have a pretty inclusive title. Yet in the middle of the song it has clear ... [Read More…]
Tailgaters show school spirit
An hour and a half before the football game on Saturday a crowd of supporters was already in the Shotwell Stadium parking lot. While the tailgaters grilled up ears of corn, hamburgers and chicken fajitas, they all agreed it wasn't about the food or even the football, it was about showing school spirit and supporting the players visibly and ...

Differences will irritate, educate
This is my third year at ACU, and in the past three years I've had three different roommates. A perfect record! Or not, depending on how you look at it. Each of my roommates has been extraordinarily different from the others and, more importantly, from me. My first was one of the snappiest dressers on campus, and yet our room was an absolute ...

Student resolves to be civil in Chapel
I hate it when people talk during Chapel. I'm not above whispering to a friend occasionally or finishing up a conversation during the first song, but when you can hear somebody blabbering from six seats over and three rows up, it's a little much. This past week has been great. I've hardly heard anybody talking during the speakers message and only ... [Read More…]
