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…]
Excessive parental support stunts growth
By Molly Byrd, Assistant Copy Editor A frantic phone call to mom or dad cannot always be what you rely on to get yourself out of a bind. If you are constantly depending on others to do everything for you, how will you ever learn independence? It is pitiful when parents hand their children every little thing their hearts desire because they will ... [Read More…]
Tuition hike necessitates administrative transparency
By Tanner Knauth, Page Editor ACU has decided to raise tuition, a trend since the 1990-91 school year, to $630 an hour. I do not begrudge ACU for raising tuition; it is simply the price of doing business. However, in light of today's economy, I am more interested in what exactly my money is getting me. ACU needs to be completely transparent on ... [Read More…]
Body image undergoes refreshing makeover
By Kelline Linton, Chief Copy Editor Never ask a woman her weight. I heard this saying so many times in my life that I believed the mindset behind it. Women struggle with body image; how can we not? We see the idealized version of women on the television, Internet and our favorite magazines. We see fans flock to Hollywood actresses who weigh about ... [Read More…]
