I respectfully disagree with the rest of the editorial board. Mandatory class attendance is a good thing. I quickly realized in our meeting that I was outnumbered, but I still wanted to share the opposing view. Yes, students (or their parents) pay to go to class, so the argument that they should be able to skip as much as they want holds ... [Read More…]
Stuck on one channel
"You've got to get yourself together, You've got stuck in a moment, And now you can't get out of it." I chose a major that did not grace me the option to give the TV a breather last week. Monday through Friday, the media was oversaturated and the gravity of the events was inescapable. The Boston marathon bombings led to a marathon of a ... [Read More…]
Letters from a disgruntled American traveler abroad
To the woman who tried to pickpocket me: When I stepped on that busy metro, I'll admit I took no notice of you. You were pretty unassuming which could've made you effective. And I don't want to be too harsh or critical but you really did blow it. There are some things in life that don't make sense: color blind fashion designers, teachers who hate ... [Read More…]
Sleep more important than study
It's getting to the end of the school year and stress levels are high. You are struggling to go to classes, you've forgotten you need chapel credits, you have too much homework to do and not enough time. It's getting to the point where many people pull all nighter or stay up to finish homework in preparation for their final exams. But is losing ... [Read More…]
Confession: I’ve been watching you, Delony
There are people in life who I admire from afar. I get small glimpses of who they are through short encounters in meetings and passings in the Bean. I watch how they handle high-tension university crisis moments. I read about them in the paper. I don't get to interact with them on a daily-BFF-basis, but I sleep soundly at night knowing that big ... [Read More…]
Dial: Hold elected officials accountable
By Rebecca Dial, SA President I have been invested in Students' Association for four years now. It has been the biggest part of my time here at ACU and I care deeply about its mission. I want the elected officers to do the most they can for the student body and lead SA in another year of productivity and service. You as a student are powerful ... [Read More…]
Duck Dynasty stars should stop by ACU
Duck Dynasty is a good show. It has its fair share of haters. It's not the most intellectually stimulating show, and it's probably somewhat scripted, but it is still good entertainment. It highlights the way of life for filthy rich rednecks. It's hilarious, it has a strong connection with faith and it is great television. Si is my favorite (like ... [Read More…]
‘The Office’ takes new look for final season
The Office found a new way to interest fans: drama. The show isn't the same without Michael Scott. Viewers feared the worst as Season 8 began, and their worries came true: it wasn't as funny, it wasn't as interesting and it wasn't as good. Many point to Season 4, or the beginning of Pam and Jim's relationship, as the series' decline. I disagree. ... [Read More…]
Tips from an old, lazy art student
Recently I was asked to come up with five things that I've learned in college that will stick with me as I wander out into the world. I feel like it's still a little early for senior sentiments- especially for those of us doing a victory lap next year- but hey, I'll give it a shot. So, since my four years here at good old ACU has left me with a ... [Read More…]
