Any student on campus is familiar with social clubs and the image those clubs project. The connotation of social clubs doesn't extend far beyond the reaches of parties, T-shirts and friendships-none of which are bad things. But when clubs try and put up a front and say that they exist to glorify God, I say that is a lie. Believe me, the impression ... [Read More…]
Cancer survivor commends editorial
Your editorial on cigar smoking was exactly on target. I am a lung cancer survivor. I had smoked prior to the time I started to ACC in 1954, and I never smoked after that. I developed lung cancer in 1998. When I found out that it was so bad, I went to Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. When the doctors did exploratory surgery, I awoke to a great ... [Read More…]
Men’s club apologizes for Chapel behavior
As a pledge class, that which we have not sought to do, we have inadvertently accomplished through our actions. We do not deem ourselves higher than the spirit of Chapel, and by our actions we have spoken otherwise. We shamefully acknowledge our disrespect and rudeness when we decided to put ourselves above others. Please accept our sincere ... [Read More…]
Social club steals attention in Chapel
I am disappointed with some people's choices during Chapel this Monday. Randy Harris, instructor of Bible, Missions and Ministry, started a talk about troubles concerning faith. In case you weren't there, Harris stepped down off the Chapel stage, told all the believers to pray and proceeded to relate to the remaining crowd his own struggles with ... [Read More…]
Your Voice: Fifth year students say Bean Sprout is on the decline
After serving 4.5 years at ACU, we are simply appalled at the level which the Bean Sprout has dropped to. The menu only contains three options: beef, chicken, or salad. We recall a time when the Bean Sprout was the place to be; a great option to the monotony of the World Famous Bean. However, that was also probably a time when it took less than an ... [Read More…]
Your Voice: Letter to the Editor
Look, I'm not trying to advocate girls walking around in lingerie, but maybe it's time to relax a little bit. As an alumnus of a very conservative Christian college, it's a little frustrating sometimes to watch people over-react to little things. It isn't the job of an institution of higher learning to legislate the manner in which someone dresses. ... [Read More…]
Excerpts from a letter to the editor about the sculpture in the Hall of Servants in the Bible building.
One of my favorite things about the Bible Building is the Hall of Servants. Its openness and brightness appeal to students, inviting them in and making them feel at home. Majors and non-majors alike congregate in the Hall to eat lunch, catch up with friends, read, study with classmates, and meet new people. And while the Hall bustles with energy, ... [Read More…]
Your Voice: Alumnus applauds student servants
Like many in this country, over the past week I’ve been incredibly frustrated by the hurricane relief efforts I’ve seen broadcast over the news. I am an alumnus of ACU currently living in Minnesota, far removed from my parents who live in Gulfport where they had chosen to ride out Katrina. It wasn’t until late in the evening of ...

Letter to the Editor #1 for April 1, 2005
As I was driving to work Thursday morning, I heard a funny story on the radio. It seems that the grandest Christian church in the world is not St. Paul's Basilica in Rome. Instead, it's the Basilica of Our Lady of Peace in Yamoussoukro, the capital of Ivory Coast. Over National Public Radio, the reporter, Jason Beaubien, described how this ... [Read More…]
Chapel speech discriminates against rich
Re: Chapel speech on March 15 by Damon Parker Until March 15th, I was unaware that ACU allowed Chapel speakers to express socialist opinions disguised as piety. The speaker could've saved himself and everybody else much time had he simply said in one sentence what he obviously thinks: Rich people are money-hungry, selfish sinners. The speaker said ...
