By Denton Josey, Features Editor Nothing lasts forever; that's the way it's gotta be. This is what The Arcade Fire kept telling me the other day. And I've been thinking about endings ever since. Think about the things you wish would end. My list includes the war in Iraq, bad dates, NASCAR and Nickelback's career. Then there are things you wish ... [Read More…]

By Jared Fields, Editor in Chief Although Sadies Week ends tonight with a free date at The Skatin' Place, single or taken guys can still take advantage of the final activity of the week. The Campus Activities Board gives ACU girls free activities to promote Sadie Hawkins' Week every year. And every year I look forward to it. As a single guy, I ... [Read More…]

By Daniel Johnson-Kim, Sports Editor While ACU students trudge back and forth between the Campus Center and the Administration building Monday, the rest of the country will be celebrating Veterans Day. And while the majority of the millions of veterans in this country are honored, 195,800 will spend their national holiday on the streets - without ... [Read More…]

By Denton Josey, Features Editor Sometimes you have to go outside and play. I was reminded of how important this is after I read an article about a man who wrote so much in his journal that all the pages fit into 91 boxes.

On Oct. 26, Abilene High plays Odessa Permian in one of the best football match-ups of the season, and I'm going to be there. The game is not what I'm most excited about though. I'm stoked because one of my best friends is ... [Read More…]

I don't go to church, I rarely pray, I don't read the Bible and I frequent the nosebleed section of Moody Coliseum during Chapel. But despite that spiritual synopsis, a recent encounter I had in Washington D.C. pushed me to question my position on God. While at a ... [Read More…]
