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…]

Pope pledges papacy of poverty
The Roman Catholic Church has a new spiritual leader. During spring break, Jorge Mario Bergoglio ascended to the papal throne after a vote from his peers. As a member of the "conclave," the session that led to the election of the new pope, Bergoglio was a cardinal (though he didn't have to be, as I incorrectly reported in my previous column on ...

Salem SBC serves alongside Soma ministry
For me, spring break has always been about travel. I wanted this spring break to be different, so I made the split-second decision to sign up for a Spring Break Campaign. It was definitely a leap of faith because I didn't have the money to pay for the trip and there were only three weeks left to raise it. But I felt called to go. So I joined the ... [Read More…]
Manchester campaign evaluates labels
Humans like to label. We label to organize. To categorize. We even like to re-label. To rename the things that make us uncomfortable. We even relabeled the term "relabel," and instead we use euphemisms. We relabel our actions. It's not downloading music illegally, it's "file-sharing." We aren't counting the number of civilians dead, just the ... [Read More…]
