Adoring fans, gossip mongers and everyone else entranced by ... [Read More…]
Convince your SA congress you care
By Kelsi Peace, Features Editor Thoughtful Ramblings My high school student council always seemed to serve one purpose: battling the dress code. To me, it only seemed to further emphasize our immaturity when the issue we most wanted to discuss as a student body was if our shorts could be two inches shorter than our fingertips. But, to be fair to ... [Read More…]
SA needs to focus on all ACU students
By Daniel Johnson-Kim, Sports Editor Gentlemen start your Facebook groups Ð Students' Association elections are upon us.

Anticipating the greatest time of the year
By Jared Fields, Managing Editor Put Christmas, Fourth of July and the last day of school together and I wouldn't be as excited as I am for this weekend. The first weekend of April is the greatest time of the year. The classic Christmastime song, "It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" comes to mind each year at this time. And if I need to ...

Changing false images of faith and America
By Denton Josey, Page Editor Sometimes you just want to speak for yourself. Sometimes other people do it for you anyway. America gets a lot of bad press.

World needs knowledge of God
By Mallory Schlabach, Editor in Chief Face the Facts Prepare for the surprise of the century: Americans are flunking religion.

U.S. plays a role in global slavery
By Kelsi Peace, Features Editor Thoughtful Ramblings Modern-day slavery always seemed distant to me - somewhere, across an ocean and in a world wholly different from my own, I knew people were living horrific lives as someone else's property. But when the speaker at IJM's Chapel forum last Thursday dangled shackles that are in use today, slavery ... [Read More…]
Become an abolitionist today
By Daniel Johnson-Kim, Sports Editor Slavery is no longer a problem. The time of slavery was the time of a bearded, top-hat wearing president and the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." At least that's what I used to think. After attending the International Justice Mission Chapel forum on Thursday my eyes have seen the glory, and I realize slavery ... [Read More…]
Don’t waste your time on Discovery
By Jared Fields, Managing Editor A great TV day is when I can watch A&E Biographies, the History and Discovery channels and maybe a few episodes of "Law & Order." What I love about the previous three channels are the shows of the unknown, mysterious and even the grotesque. The best example of a show I used to schedule my life around is anything ...
