Finding heroes at ACU isn't hard. But for those on the lookout, Dr. Lewis Fulks would make a good one. Fulks died Sept. 19 at Hendrick Medical Center at the age of 77. He taught theatre for 44 years - 30 of those while leading the theatre program. More than 500,000 people saw his shows, from the Wizard of Oz, to his final production, Man of La ... [Read More…]
Clubs must remain focused on Christ
Normally well-meaning, Christian young men and women compromise Christ-likeness to fulfill social club pledging traditions. The above transformation works like this at ACU. During the rushing process, many club members act like Mother Teresa to prospective pledges, paying close attention to each who shows interest with the hopes that they will ... [Read More…]
Leaving early and cheating Chapel
Stop leaving Chapel early. No longer content to talk over or simply ignore the daily speaker, many of you have taken your disrespect for ACU's daily meeting and devotion to the next level: you walk out. The dishonesty you showcase puts you on the same level as a student who forges a paper or cheats on a test. In effect, all of you who try to ... [Read More…]
Episcopal Church rejects biblical truths
As the secular world embraces homosexual culture to a greater degree, we support the viewpoint that love and tolerance must be shown by Christians toward the people of that world. However, love and tolerance of the sinner should not be construed as acceptance of the sin. The Rev. Gene Robinson has been confirmed as the bishop of New Hampshire by ... [Read More…]

Putting faith in Money for finances
Royce Money salvaged ACU's finances in 1992, and he can repeat the feat in 2003. Because of a sluggish post-Sept. 11 economy, increased insurance and utilities costs, flat enrollment and a decrease in gifts, the university finds itself in a sticky financial situation. Administrators recently re-allocated $2 million to make up for rising costs and ... [Read More…]
Rationality lost in ‘War of 16 Words’
The "War of 16 Words" enamored Washington's chattering class, but the debate is ultimately useless and appears more reactionary than rational. This battle over President Bush's State of the Union claim that Iraq tried to buy uranium from an unnamed African country continues to reverberate here and in Britain, whose intelligence was the basis for ...

Redistricting, recalls embarrass all
Now that the summer of incivility has left our political structures reeking, politicians and pundits alike must find ways to reach across the partisan wall or face the most divisive presidential election in decades. If summer is supposed to be a dormant period for politics, one couldn't tell. Let us assess the humor and horror of this summer where ... [Read More…]
Amnesty decision best choice possible
When Dr. Royce Money granted amnesty to students in various stages of Chapel probation, he made a decision that was truly in the best interest of the students. Dr. Money responded to a unanimous recommendation made Thursday by the Chapel Task Force. Many questions and complaints have been raised about this year's often confusing chapel ... [Read More…]
Filibusters in Senate destroy will of majority
Never does the U.S. Senate act as undemocratically as it does when its members enact the filibuster. Although immortalized by Jimmy Stewart's rousing pleas for justice in Frank Capra's Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, the filibuster is the easiest tool for a disgruntled minority to flout the will of the lawful majority in the Senate. A senator who ... [Read More…]
