By Paul A. Anthony, Editor in Chief With a year left before the 2004 elections, President Bush's fortunes flip-flopped in the face of two days of strong economic data this month: he faces trouble in Iraq but triumph on the economy. Such a reversal certainly surprised Washington's chatterers, who, depending on political persuasion, predicted ... [Read More…]
Letter from the Editor: Baseball-still America’s pastime
By Paul A. Anthony, Editor in Chief Nothing in the world of sports says "America" better than baseball. Throughout America's history, baseball has shared its struggles and triumphs. The president chose not to cancel the sport to keep up morale during World War I. Baseball lent its best men to the service in World War II and foreran the struggle ... [Read More…]
Column Like I See ‘Em: West Texas falls straight to winter
By Steve Holt, Opinion Editor Funny thing about the arrival of fall in West Texas - it doesn't. Summer temperatures survive out here through October, then one November morning T-shirt-clad students step out of the dorm to a case of frostbite. So much for a gradual ease into winter - out here we are thrown into the chilly weather faster than we ... [Read More…]
Curfew-a blessing in disguise
By Jonathan Smith, Managing Editor I miss curfew. I'll get that out of the way right now and reserve the right to claim temporary insanity if ever questioned about this in the future. But it's true, and I'm sticking with it. Curfew and I had one of those love-hate relationships freshman year. On the one hand, curfew never really bothered me ... [Read More…]
Letter from the Editor: Homecoming steals fall break for students
By Paul A. Anthony, Editor in Chief Students' health seems to have taken a back seat this year to, among other things, Homecoming. An unfortunate coincidence has now robbed students of Unstress Day and the most necessary time for fall break, leaving many clinging to their last grains of sanity as Homecoming plows into the university's students, ...

TVs will disturb peace
By Kyle Peveto, Page Editor Column Schmolumn Last semester, while I heard each Students' Association presidential candidate proclaim a platform, almost everyone mentioned to us the goal of placing televisions around campus that would be plugged into SATV and a national news service that would supply us with up-to-the-minute news and weather. I ... [Read More…]
Davis’ negligence in California angers students
Weck's World Outsiders like me might laugh at Texans because of their big-haired governor or their senators who take extended vacations in Albuquerque, but what if you hailed from California? More than 100 ACU students do, and Calif. Gov. Gray Davis' insane laws and policies have affected their lives in disastrous ways, prompting some, if not ... [Read More…]
Mullet Web sites to avoid
By Joshua Parrott, Sports Writer I recently made a huge mistake using my computer, one that blows any of my previous mistakes off The Hill. Finding too much boredom at my job and little enlightenment outside of class, I spent an hour or so in the wee-hours of the morning combining two of the most powerful elements of the past 30 years: The ...

Lori’s Story: Good burgers worth a sacrifice
By Lori Bredemeyer, Staff Writer Grille Works is the name, and burgers might bring it fame. Students were surprised to return from summer break and find they no longer could order cheese sticks, chicken fried steak or quesadillas from the Bean Sprout. Instead, Aramark has introduced a new concept called Grille Works, and the menu now offers ... [Read More…]
Letter from the Editor: Horrors and tortures of Texas redistricting
By Paul A. Anthony, Editor in Chief Dear Mom and Dad, I didn't spend this summer at camp, so I couldn't send any letters about wanting to come home. Instead, I spent the summer doing something much more harrowing than meeting lots of wannabe bullies going into the fifth grade. I covered Texas redistricting. You may laugh. You may think chasing ... [Read More…]
