By Tanner Anderson, Page Editor Some president famously once said, "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." Well, my fellow Wildcats, after months of pontificating and weeks of scouring through dictionaries to find out what the word pontificating even means, here are some options that will hopefully do ...

Optional Chapel offers superior experience
My freshmen year, I probably would have sharply disagreed with you about Chapel being optional, but 3 years of being subjected to day after day of childish behavior and blatant disrespect for this school, the students of this school and the beliefs both hold has brought me to this frustrated solution. I agree, Chapel should be mandatory, but not ... [Read More…]
Social club rushes offer opportunity to develop opinions
It is that time of the year again. Time to see the colorful jerseys and logos strutting around campus. Time to take advantage of free food and activities and meet new people along the way. But more than anything, time to find out what social clubs are all about. Social clubs are a longstanding tradition at ACU, approaching nearly 100 years in ... [Read More…]
Aspiring bands should humbly utilize resources
By Lydia Melby, Arts Editor Maybe since I came to ACU expecting only bouncing tumbleweeds, numerous ranches and cowboys and churches on every corner, I was not looking forward to much of a music scene. But who would have thought that ACU, and even more, Abilene would have a great music scene that features many styles other than a cappella and ... [Read More…]
Sporting events provide community atmosphere
By Molly Byrd, Assistant Copy Editor I have grown up finding every excuse possible to skip out on going to football games. My mom has never been a big sports fan. Heck, even my dad was never found stretched out in a La-Z-Boy chair watching Monday Night Football. This year, I actually attended my first Super Bowl game party. Some may call me ... [Read More…]
Chapel should be optional
I never understood the reason behind making attendance mandatory. I understand that ACU has the right to make people go to Chapel since it is a private school, but that doesn't answer the question of why you would want people in Chapel who do not want to be there in the first place. Furthermore, if we cannot complain about having to go to ... [Read More…]
VanRheenen’s dedication leaves long-lasting effects
Few students know what a Provost is. Any definition given by a faculty member translates as academic jargon that students recognize is important, but that is about it. In student-friendly terms, the Provost oversees all department chairs and is responsible for scholarship programs and student and academic sections at the university. For example, ... [Read More…]
SA Congress’ effectiveness requires student input
By Tanner Knauth, Page Editor Read Comments The votes have been cast, and the student body has new leadership for the Students' Association Congress. But now what? Next year's Congress has, admittedly, the undesirable task of following a student government marked by controversy. The closed meetings and impeachment have been well chronicled, ... [Read More…]
Fox broadcasts deplorable bias
By Ryan Self, Student Reporter Read the Comments It pains me to say this, especially as someone who was glued to Fox News his freshman year, but I recently have come to the conclusion that much of the political commentary on the cable news channel is biased. Or at the very least, not fair and balanced. Fox News initially was created by Roger ... [Read More…]
ACU staff deserves respect from students, faculty
Sara Rodriguez works through the night. She washes windows. She vacuums carpets. Sometimes students are locked out of a building or leave an item in a locked room, and she has the opportunity to assist them. Although the job is not an easy one, ACU janitors like Sara say they are pleased with the respect they receive from those on campus. It is ... [Read More…]
