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? Maybe a buddy said some thing controversial you didn't agree with, and you were guilty by association. If so, you and presidential candidate Barack Obama should start a Facebook group. Obama's mentor, pastor and friend Rev. Jeremiah Wright has ... [Read More…]
Education struggle makes final stress seem trivial
By Kelsi Peace, Managing Editor At the same time I am scratching the days off my day planner and promising myself languorous afternoons if I can only finish finals week, 19 African countries are scouring resources for a $370-million education funding gap. 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. And it's ... [Read More…]
Subconscious guides desire to work
By Jared Fields, Editor in Chief My subconscious purposefully dupes my consciousness from letting me think I'm making myself happy. Sound confusing? When I intentionally try to do things I think will make me happy, my subconscious sabotages it all. Let's say I have a lot of work to do without much time. I work until a decent hour and then go to ... [Read More…]
Slam poetry effectively speaks out about issues
By Kelsi Peace, Managing Editor There are far more profane things in the world than a few curse words. This I learned from Liza Jesse Peterson, one of the Def Jam poets who came to campus last weekend and perhaps one of the most intriguing people I have ever encountered. Liza, along with Bruce George and Steve Connell, inspired the crowd and ... [Read More…]
You’ve got candidates, Web reboots involvement
By Daniel Johnson-Kim, Sports Editor The race to the White House is getting personal. Not the back-and- forth bickering and " misspoken" attacks between the Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton camps or the daily shots from a comfortable John McCain waiting for the general election, but the way each candidate is reaching out to include their ...
