By Laura Acuff, Opinion Editor Reports of diminishing availability of loan money in conjunction with a recent increase in Stafford loan amounts seem to present conflicting information to money conscious students. While Darrell Horn, associate director of Counselors for Student Financial Services, said adquiring loans may be more difficult ... [Read More…]
Obama’s popularity influx worrisome
By Colter Hettich, Features Editor I'd call it a fever. It began sweeping the states months ago. Thanks to a carefully planned, well-staged tour, it seems to have swept Europe. It might be the cynic in me or maybe my gag reaction for the mainstream, but the height to which Barack Obama has risen makes me hesitate. I will be the first to admit ... [Read More…]
Biden bid borrows trouble for Obama
By Laura Acuff, Opinion Editor People don't vote for vice presidents. Best case scenario: a good VP selection wins a few wavering voters. Worst case scenario: a bad VP selection obliterates an entire campaign. That said, you'd think presidential candidate Barack Obama would have balked at the idea of inviting Delaware Sen. Joe Biden to join his ... [Read More…]
College teaches about smaller things in life
By Jared Fields, Editor in Chief I came to ACU, fell in love with it, met lots of great people, got involved and will remember it fondly. The End. Well, not exactly. I didn't know I was going to attend ACU till mid-June after my high school graduation. In fact, ACU was the last place I said I'd go. I learned my lesson about saying, "I'll ... [Read More…]
Wright speech goes horribly wrong for Obama
By Daniel Johnson-Kim, Sports Editor Ever have a friend speak for you when you didn't want them to?

Obama's mentor, pastor and friend Rev. Jeremiah Wright has ... [Read More…]

Through the World Bank's Education for All Fast Track Initiative, these countries' plans for ... [Read More…]
Wailers concert unifies diverse, unique crowd
By Daniel Johnson-Kim, Sports Editor If heaven consists of standing in white robes, singing endless hymns, most honest humans would admit that doesn't sound like much fun. But I have an idea now of what singing in heaven might be like. It's a whole lot of fun. On Thursday night I stood in a crowd of maybe 1,000 people and belted "No Woman, No ... [Read More…]
Chaplain’s salary sets dangerous precedent
By Jared Fields, Editor in Chief Student government in my high school did nothing. We had one in name, but in practice we might have cleaned trash from a roadside once to get community service hours. And because my high school had fewer people in it than some classes here, I knew everyone well. My first Students' Association voting experience ... [Read More…]
Hail to the chief
By Jared Fields, Editor in Chief Matt Worthington doesn't fit your typical mold. You can try to typecast the Students' Association president upon first glance - or sound. His dress, the laid-back clothes with Fair Trade stamped all over, gives an aura the same as any kid from the suburbs wanting to stand out by looking different. In a Chapel ... [Read More…]
Diplomacy needed for 2008 Olympic Games
By Daniel Johnson-Kim, Sports Editor The 2008 Summer Olympic theme, "One World, One Dream" reeks of irony. While the countdown continues to the athletic circus, the show before the games has been a divisive debate about human rights and athletic competition among leaders, candidates, activists, athletes and countries around the globe.
