By Ryan Self, Student Reporter During one of those deep conversations that inevitably come up during college while on a 20-hour road trip to California, a question was posed. "What would you like to see happen in the next 10 years?" The answer, which seemed odd, especially coming from my friend who is a Christian ministry major, took a while to ... [Read More…]
SA Congress should revise duties to better campus
Forty-four students discussed, debated and voted during a Wednesday meeting last January, deciding how much money to give 30 designated student organizations for the semester. The funds these students disbursed did not come from grants, fundraisers or even their own pockets. The money came from us, the more than 4,400 undergraduate students who ... [Read More…]
Trojans strive to maintain promising reputation
Trojans have hit the ground running this semester as they have risen to the challenge of being back on campus, once again subjected to the new kid syndrome.

University attendance policy confuses students
Whether it is psychology, history or math, a student's success in one class is just as critical as it is in any other class.

Excessive parental support stunts growth
By Molly Byrd, Assistant Copy Editor A frantic phone call to mom or dad cannot always be what you rely on to get yourself out of a bind.

Tuition hike necessitates administrative transparency
By Tanner Knauth, Page Editor ACU has decided to raise tuition, a trend since the 1990-91 school year, to $630 an hour. I do not begrudge ACU for raising tuition; it is simply the price of doing business. However, in light of today's economy, I am more interested in what exactly my money is getting me. ACU needs to be completely transparent on ... [Read More…]
Rechartered Trojans offer alternative experience
No pain, no entry. The words headlined the Optimist's front-page coverage of fall pledging and are true for almost every social club on campus - every club but Trojans, that is.

By Kelline Linton, Chief Copy Editor Never ask a woman her weight. I heard this saying so many times in my life that I believed the mindset behind it. Women struggle with body image; how can we not?

Inspiration powers future success
By Tanner Anderson, Page Editor After days of contemplating where I will go after graduation and how I will succeed in this economic rough patch, there is a na've voice inside my mind that wishes me to pass on a simple statement: the loss of inspiration and the fear of pursuing a dream is the destruction of success. At times it may seem we are ... [Read More…]
Impeachment proceedings inappropriately malign
As a personal friend of Daniel Paul Watkins, I feel like I should mention a couple things about the stories that have been present. First of all, D.P. Watkins has been accused of several "crimes" but the reporting has failed to go into detail about the crimes, and several people have asked about the exact crimes. Being late for meetings with a ...
