Every day, thousands upon thousands of sports fans file into stadiums, arenas and ballparks all over the country. These people want one thing: excitement. Sports fans crave thrilling, edge-of-your-seat action with plenty of highlight-reel plays. With this in mind, it is inexplicable why the sports-loving public so often overlooks the world's most ...

Brown Library deserves more recognition
Brown Library is, and ought to be, the centerpiece of our academic institution. It contains and represents a "cloud of witnesses" of learning. These witnesses radiate beams of light into each classroom and lecture hall on ACU's campus. All of our professors stand on the shoulders of those whose works sit enshrined between covers on shelves in Brown ... [Read More…]
Christians need to support Blue Like Jazz
Almost everyone I know at ACU has read Blue Like Jazz, and lots of those people really loved it and will say that it had some effect on their spirituality. I felt an even stronger connection to Don Miller's follow-up book, A Million Miles In A Thousand Years, where he discusses writing the screenplay for the Blue Like Jazz movie and how it affected ...

College Democrats clarify budget concerns
In regard to the previously published editorial, I'm not sure with whom Aaron Escebedo communicated, but we feel the need to clarify misstatements about our organization, the ACU College Democrats. First, our organization is not rebuilding - we are undergoing a brief leadership transition. We remain focused on our mission of uniting students ... [Read More…]
Young Republicans allocated too little funds
I am, first of all, thankful and grateful to the members of the Students' Association for granting the Young Republicans a budget. However, I am upset and disappointed with the decision of the Executive Treasurer and Congress as a whole. The ACU Young Republicans requested $700 for their budget this semester, but we were only granted $100. We ... [Read More…]
Gardner hall decorations misinterpreted
I am the Gardner RA who so inexcusably decorated my hall with a "Brides of Christ" theme. I apparently failed to communicate well what my actual intentions were for the decorations, although most seem to understand when they read the Bible verses on the wall and realize who decorated it. With all due respect to the author of the original letter, I ... [Read More…]
Bennett neglects issue of justice
DR. VIC McCRACKEN, Assistant Professor of Theology and Ethics I disagree with my friend Cole Bennett's recent article about Christianity and health care. Dr. Bennett falsely treats the issue as if it can be boiled down to the issue of individual need and private charity. The larger issue here is one of justice. What does justice require in a ...

Public aggression reflects deeper issue
By Wilson McCoy III What do politicians, athletes, and rappers have in common? They are all guilty of P.D.A.: Public Displays of Aggression. However, their eruptions should not be isolated from larger American public life represented by recent town hall meetings where rage was rampant. These celebrities have received numerous indictments recently, ... [Read More…]
Pledging provides spiritual experience
Brian Peacock, Secretary Emeritus, Gamma Sigma Phi I believe [a column in Sunday's issue] concerning pledging was misleading. The author claims to be an insider into the pledging process of a men's social club. As a former officer for the club that the author pledged, I know for a fact that the author left the pledging process less than a week ... [Read More…]
Optional Chapel offers superior experience
My freshmen year, I probably would have sharply disagreed with you about Chapel being optional, but 3 years of being subjected to day after day of childish behavior and blatant disrespect for this school, the students of this school and the beliefs both hold has brought me to this frustrated solution. I agree, Chapel should be mandatory, but not ... [Read More…]
