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 ...

Clinton’s visit provides unforgettable story
By Jared Fields, Editor in Chief I stood in line Sunday night for the chance to see former President Bill Clinton speak in an Abilene hangar and waited for the gate to open. I kept hearing he would be late but never imagined such odd events over the next four hours would occur as they did. For the last month, I had been growing out my facial hair ... [Read More…]
Writer’s feeble satire attempt causes outcry
By Daniel Johnson-Kim, Sports Editor During World War II the U.S. government stripped Asian Americans of their rights. While a war with Japan raged in the Pacific, hysteria and fear of Eastern spies at home fueled the infringement of the civil rights of not only Japanese Americans but also anyone who fit the profile. During this embarrassing ... [Read More…]
Value your own opinion, not others’
By Jared Fields, Editor in Chief We care too much about the opinions and words of other people. Growing up, I was taught kiddie-level existentialism in the form of, "what's important is what you think." Taken with a solid moral upbringing, I find this true. Along with confidence in my own thoughts, I want to know as much as I can. Sometimes I ... [Read More…]
Hollywood’s opinions should play trivial role
By Daniel Johnson-Kim, Sports Editor Not a fan of politics? Hollywood is. Tyra Banks, Jon Bon Jovi, Tom Hanks, Donald Trump and many more entertainers, producers and writers put their money where their politics are to support the current presidential candidates and possibly influence the race to the White House. But don't let the glitz and ... [Read More…]
Sense of community disrupted by silence
By Jared Fields, Editor in Chief In Jesus' name we pray- Amen. I sat in Chapel on Monday morning after the prayer, shocked at the news just announced to the ACU community gathered in Moody Coliseum. Dr. Jeff Arrington stood on stage and told the audience a student had died Sunday night. Later in the day, Dr. Jean-Noel Thompson sent an e-mail ... [Read More…]
Recent remarks reveal lack of understanding
By Jared Fields, Editor in Chief I cannot relate to Martin Luther King, Jr. Day because I just don't understand it. I cannot relate to a history of abuse, oppression and hatred based on race. I cannot relate to the feelings that could come from such a history of racism because of my lack of that history. As a white, middle-class male, I have no ... [Read More…]
Alumnus won’t relent in struggle for justice
By Daniel Johnson-Kim, Sports Editor If every syllabus I got this week isn't lying, and the mission of the university is "to educate students for Christian service and leadership throughout the world," Rep. Ted Poe should be ACU's poster child. While the media wastes our time with breaking news on Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton's fake crying, ... [Read More…]
