By Denton Josey, Page Editor Jesus Sells! The child runs down the aisle and falls to the floor clutching a smiling, stuffed cucumber in a purple hat. "But Mom, I don't have a Larry Boy toy yet, I need a Larry Boy toy!" he wails. A similar tantrum could be played out almost any day on any toy aisle, but this fit is different and not just because ... [Read More…]
The best new mascot for McMurry
By Jared Fields, Managing Editor Two weeks ago, McMurry University decided to be a mascot-less university instead of picking a new one. The NCAA forced the school to drop 'Indians' as its mascot. The decision means McMurry athletics teams will not have a native people or fuzzy animal to identify themselves with. Instead, the athletes will be ... [Read More…]
Guns: the new seatbelt control
By Denton Josey, Page Editor I never like it when people point guns at me. Of all the things you could point with, guns are pretty much my least favorite, especially considering all the things guns do. I think mostly they shoot bullets, though I have seen them used as a club, like on MacGyver. MacGyver never shot people, but if he had a gun in ... [Read More…]
Allow West Texas to become new home
By Mallory Schlabach, Editor in Chief Face the Facts After nearly four years at ACU, Abilene is home. It's the place where I've found a church, made lasting friendships and found a connection to the rural Texas town more than 1,300 miles from my home in Ohio. People say home is where your heart is, and until this weekend, I didn't ... [Read More…]
Learning to love Montanan within
By Kelsi Peace, Features Editor I rarely tell people the name of my hometown. Instead, I find it is much easier to simply answer "Montana" when people ask where I'm from, rather than launching into a lengthy explanation of quaint Whitefish, Montanta and its proximity to Glacier National Park and Canada. At this point , I finally conclude lamely ... [Read More…]
Vacation to the moon and back

As the space tourist program gains popularity, particularly in the Western part of the world, new programs have developed and ideas tossed around to put more civilians in space. One program is the Journalist in Space ... [Read More…]
ACU experiences an influx of lemmings
By Jared Fields, Managing Editor Since first learning what lemmings do, I've wondered what would makes creature leap en masse to their deaths. Lemmings jump off cliffs in large numbers because of poor vision. They can't tell the difference between a riverbank and the sharp edge of a cliff. With this in mind, I arrived at ACU freshman year and ... [Read More…]
Quick Technology breeds laziness
By Kelsi Peace, Features Editor I discovered in my Sociology class Thursday that Radio Shack has taken to laying off their employees via e-mail. According to an article in USA Today, Radio Shack headquarters in Fort Worth e-mailed about 400 employees to dismiss them, using what is obviously a mass-produced (and insulting) message: "The workforce ...

Enjoy freedom of freshman year
By Jared Fields, Managing Editor When I was a freshman, I thought life was tough. Some days I couldn't take naps, and I had to write a couple of research papers. Since then, I've learned some lessons I want to pass down. The freshman class has survived for three weeks now on it's own, and its time it started to figure it out. Ignorance and ... [Read More…]
Prosperity isn’t always Godly
By Mallory Schlabach, Editor in Chief Face the Facts It seems I am missing a section of my Bible. You know, it's the part where God says, 'If you take up your checkbook and follow me, I will make you richer than you ever imagined.' Or maybe it's the verse, 'If you don't have what you want in life, ask God for it because he won't deny you life's ... [Read More…]
