By Jonathan Smith, Editor in Chief If I believed everything I hear around campus then one social club pledge could have died in a recent pledging activity, and packs of club members have been roaming the streets of Abilene breaking into other clubs' members' homes, stealing and threatening the physical well-being of others. I don't know whether ... [Read More…]
Column Like I See ‘Em: The world-every nation under God
By Steve Holt, Opinion Editor As images of bombs falling on Afghanistan and Iraq were emblazoned across two large screens, some church-goers clapped and cheered. That's right-scenes of war ignited celebration from some members of a Christian church in Abilene. I heard the above story from a friend, who heard it from a friend. It may not be ... [Read More…]
Freshman follies were once your folly
By Mallory Sherwood, Managing Editor Face the Facts I've never entertained the idea of what it might have been like to be a freshman during the 1920s, '50s or '80s but this year's freshman class enlightened me as well as hundreds of others this weekend with its production of Freshmen Follies.

Leaving chapel early uncalled for
By Jonathan Smith, Editor in Chief I'll admit it: Today I left Chapel early. I stood up during what I thought would be the last song, walked down the steps and out into the concourse area.

By Jaci Schneider, Copy Editor Much Ado About Something Dear Rita, please go away. We don't want you here; I'm very sorry, but you're not at all welcome.

Free time–gift for the busy student
By Jonathan Smith, Editor in Chief I plan on getting lost Wednesday night or at least certainly by this weekend. Because when the second season of ABC's series Lost premiers Wednesday night, I will either be by my TV or have the VCR running. But I shouldn't have time for that. Certainly not during the school week when I have a job to do and a ... [Read More…]
Women, cover it up and keep it real
By Mallory Sherwood, Managing Editor Face the Facts It is a sad day when, by the middle of September, I am already in daily search of the most outrageous dress code violators. Usually the plethora of long, tan legs, bare shoulders and too much cleavage doesn't reach its peak until the spring semester, but I fear this year tops all. Just last ... [Read More…]
Wal-mart not so friendly after all
By Jaci Schneider, Copy Editor Much Ado About Something Buying a box of cereal at Abilene's new super Wal-mart while shopping for school supplies or a pair of jeans seems cheap and convenient, but many people don't know that price and convenience come at a high cost to American consumers. Wal-mart boasts of low prices, which benefit college ... [Read More…]
Life 101-for all future planning
By Jaci Schneider, Copy Editor Much Ado About Something In a few months, seniors have to decide what to do with their lives. But even before graduation they have to start making plans.
