I never understood the reason behind making attendance mandatory. I understand that ACU has the right to make people go to Chapel since it is a private school, but that doesn't answer the question of why you would want people in Chapel who do not want to be there in the first place. Furthermore, if we cannot complain about having to go to ... [Read More…]
Trojans strive to maintain promising reputation
Trojans have hit the ground running this semester as they have risen to the challenge of being back on campus, once again subjected to the new kid syndrome. Because Trojans were unable to pledge last semester, there are many questions surrounding what we represent. A recent article alluded to a rumor that Trojans are simply interested in fun and ...

Impeachment proceedings inappropriately malign
As a personal friend of Daniel Paul Watkins, I feel like I should mention a couple things about the stories that have been present. First of all, D.P. Watkins has been accused of several "crimes" but the reporting has failed to go into detail about the crimes, and several people have asked about the exact crimes. Being late for meetings with a ...

Impeachment unfairly maligns SA Congress president’s character
The character of a young man has been impugned with vague accusations; and because of the vagueness of the charges, he cannot even defend himself. This could affect his acceptance at law school, any jobs for which he might apply and his reputation for years to come. It does not even appear to be a legal action. According to the Student ...

Watkins deserved impeachment
I am a member of the Students' Association Congress and was in attendance at the hearing. The fact that almost the entire cabinet voted to impeach former President Watkins from office spoke volumes to me. They worked with him 10 or 20 hours per week and knew his actions and attitudes while in the office. I trust them and respect their decision. ... [Read More…]
Forgiveness crucial in conflict
"Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody ... [Read More…]
Judging Sing Song detracts from enjoyable experience
I want to know why Sing Song has to be a contest. I love Sing Song because it is a chance for people to put on a great show, dress in crazy costumes and sing funny songs. It is a time for getting to know your fellow classmates and club members better. But the fact that it is a contest, that it pits class against class, club against club, ... [Read More…]
Exemptions reward learning
If a student has a high grade and good attendance, I agree that the final shouldn't be very hard for them. But personally, I have had classes where my grade has consisted of nothing more than a few essays written throughout the semester. That sort of grading policy is great for someone like me that is a horrid test taker. I can know every bit of ... [Read More…]
Chapel obligations minimal
This editorial reminds me a lot of the one written last semester about the attendance policy and how it should be removed. Except I agree with this editorial. I have worked as a desk worker in freshman dorms for two years now, and my shifts have always been around the time curfew happened, either before or after, and invariably there is someone ...

Obama endorsement brings welcome national change
I want to congratulate you and your staff for the "guts" you had last fall in endorsing Barack Obama for President. You did the right thing in my opinion. The people in Abilene and Brown County areas need to change their attitudes, and maybe this will help. I am so excited about the new Obama administration and the Democrats that control ...
