Brown Library is, and ought to be, the centerpiece of our academic institution. It contains and represents a "cloud of witnesses" of learning. These witnesses radiate beams of light into each classroom and lecture hall on ACU's campus. All of our professors stand on the shoulders of those whose works sit enshrined between covers on shelves in Brown ... [Read More…]
Christians need to support Blue Like Jazz
Almost everyone I know at ACU has read Blue Like Jazz, and lots of those people really loved it and will say that it had some effect on their spirituality. I felt an even stronger connection to Don Miller's follow-up book, A Million Miles In A Thousand Years, where he discusses writing the screenplay for the Blue Like Jazz movie and how it affected ...

College Democrats clarify budget concerns
In regard to the previously published editorial, I'm not sure with whom Aaron Escebedo communicated, but we feel the need to clarify misstatements about our organization, the ACU College Democrats. First, our organization is not rebuilding - we are undergoing a brief leadership transition. We remain focused on our mission of uniting students ... [Read More…]
Young Republicans allocated too little funds
I am, first of all, thankful and grateful to the members of the Students' Association for granting the Young Republicans a budget. However, I am upset and disappointed with the decision of the Executive Treasurer and Congress as a whole. The ACU Young Republicans requested $700 for their budget this semester, but we were only granted $100. We ... [Read More…]
Gardner hall decorations misinterpreted
I am the Gardner RA who so inexcusably decorated my hall with a "Brides of Christ" theme. I apparently failed to communicate well what my actual intentions were for the decorations, although most seem to understand when they read the Bible verses on the wall and realize who decorated it. With all due respect to the author of the original letter, I ... [Read More…]
Health care bill carries big debt
CHRISTOPHER SISK Sophomore accounting major from San Antonio in response to the recently passed health care bill The health care bill, HR-3200, passed March 21 is the single greatest attack on American liberties in the history of this country. Even more appalling is the lack of information that has been made available to the public. Throughout ... [Read More…]

President scatters undeserved blame
Dear Editor: On Wednesday evening, we saw something extraordinary. We saw a president who has lost the confidence of the American people blame everyone but himself. He lectured the Supreme Court justices, complained about Senate procedure and pointed the finger of blame yet again at his predecessor. But the most disturbing lack of leadership was ... [Read More…]
SA demonstrates apathetic, rash spending
By Andrew Greenberg, Graduate Student The recent decision by the Students' Association to purchase Iron & Wine tickets shows poor stewardship skills. SA purchased 129 tickets to the concert, while the total undergraduate population is around 4,000. SA funds should primarily go to service organizations and academic groups. How many Treadaway ...

Bennett neglects issue of justice
DR. VIC McCRACKEN, Assistant Professor of Theology and Ethics I disagree with my friend Cole Bennett's recent article about Christianity and health care. Dr. Bennett falsely treats the issue as if it can be boiled down to the issue of individual need and private charity. The larger issue here is one of justice. What does justice require in a ...
