By Tanner Anderson, Page Editor Some president famously once said, "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." Well, my fellow Wildcats, after months of pontificating and weeks of scouring through dictionaries to find out what the word pontificating even means, here are some options that will hopefully do ...

Aspiring bands should humbly utilize resources
By Lydia Melby, Arts Editor Maybe since I came to ACU expecting only bouncing tumbleweeds, numerous ranches and cowboys and churches on every corner, I was not looking forward to much of a music scene. But who would have thought that ACU, and even more, Abilene would have a great music scene that features many styles other than a cappella and ... [Read More…]
Sporting events provide community atmosphere
By Molly Byrd, Assistant Copy Editor I have grown up finding every excuse possible to skip out on going to football games. My mom has never been a big sports fan. Heck, even my dad was never found stretched out in a La-Z-Boy chair watching Monday Night Football. This year, I actually attended my first Super Bowl game party. Some may call me ... [Read More…]
SA Congress’ effectiveness requires student input
By Tanner Knauth, Page Editor Read Comments The votes have been cast, and the student body has new leadership for the Students' Association Congress. But now what? Next year's Congress has, admittedly, the undesirable task of following a student government marked by controversy. The closed meetings and impeachment have been well chronicled, ... [Read More…]
Fox broadcasts deplorable bias
By Ryan Self, Student Reporter Read the Comments It pains me to say this, especially as someone who was glued to Fox News his freshman year, but I recently have come to the conclusion that much of the political commentary on the cable news channel is biased. Or at the very least, not fair and balanced. Fox News initially was created by Roger ... [Read More…]
Political opinion should transcend party lines
By Colter Hettich, Features Editor Fox News and CNN do not have flags. The Orange County Register and the New York Times do not have anthems or salutes. Do not pledge allegiance to them. Do not swallow every word that comes from any media outlet without question. Consider the cold, hard fact that humans write every word of the news - humans ... [Read More…]
Americans undervalue domestic stability
By Daniel Johnson-Kim, Editor in Chief Most Americans often speak in exaggerations. If we have not eaten all day, we are "starving." If we fail a test, lose our keys or get fired, we have the "worst day ever." If we get dumped by our significant others, "our lives are over." It is not our fault. Thanks to the wealth of our nation, the strength ... [Read More…]
Voluntary attendance would enhance Chapel
By Michael Freeman, Managing Editor The laws of science contend a perpetual motion machine cannot possibly exist because it would eventually lose energy and break down. Apparently, science has never been to Chapel. Every year, ACU's Chapel program trudges on, offering students the same routine songs to sing, speakers who could put an insomniac ... [Read More…]
Lolcats Web site offers humerous diversions
By Lydia Melby, Arts Editor Everybody has something they constantly do, sometimes almost compulsively, that is not necessarily the brightest, most reasonable thing. Call it a 'drug of choice' (not that I am condoning, advocating or legitimizing drug use in any way, just to cover my bases). Sometimes it is drinking large amounts of coffee. ... [Read More…]
Older Facebook participants taint experience
By Sommerly Simser, Multimedia Managing Editor Read Comments No college student is complete without his or her expensive textbooks, caffeinated drinks, laptop, iPod, student ID and, of course, a Facebook account. When Facebook launched five years ago, it was the social networking tool, almost like a little black book or phone book, for the elite ... [Read More…]
