Pura-Vida proves to be smart investment
When it was announced by the university a new salon would fill the space left by Abilene Educational Supply, ACU students were sent into a tizzy. The announcement came only a few months after the university revealed its plan to cut the budget and therefore reduce the number of faculty and staff positions.

A saga’s search for a new hope
When I was young, I was a bona fide tomboy. I made fun of girls who liked pink. I climbed trees like a maniac. My legs were perpetually covered in bruises and cuts from my adventures. But most of all, I loved Star Wars. As an 8-year-old, I clearly remember sitting on the front row of the movie theater, neck craned back, mouth open wide, in awe of ... [Read More…]

Looking back at Anabel Reid’s life
Does it feel like it’s been a year? Yes. And at the same time, no. I still have flashbacks to the exact moment when I found out I would never get to hug my best friend again. This Sunday marks the one-year anniversary of the bus accident that ended one life and changed so many others, including mine. I befriended Anabel Reid during the first ... [Read More…]
From the Editor’s Desk – Addressing endorsement criticism
We knew many people would not agree with our endorsement of President Obama. What we didn't expect is that instead of complaining to us, the seven-student editorial board that wrote the editorial, most of the strong negative reactions would be taken out on ACU. I am sad to see the university receive these responses when it had had no ... [Read More…]
