The character of a young man has been impugned with vague accusations; and because of the vagueness of the charges, he cannot even defend himself. This could affect his acceptance at law school, any jobs for which he might apply and his reputation for years to come. It does not even appear to be a legal action. According to the Student ...

Watkins deserved impeachment
I am a member of the Students' Association Congress and was in attendance at the hearing. The fact that almost the entire cabinet voted to impeach former President Watkins from office spoke volumes to me. They worked with him 10 or 20 hours per week and knew his actions and attitudes while in the office. I trust them and respect their decision. ... [Read More…]
SA Congress must strive for maximum productivity
The Students' Association Congress is not a high school student government. Both represent students to an administration. But collegiate student governments are more than a few friendly faces who organize field days, decorate school dances or buy students pizza; they strive to improve student life. Without the SA Congress, students do not have a ... [Read More…]
Editorial: Watkins betrays university, student body with misleading article, interviews
By Laura Acuff, Opinion Editor Former Students' Association Congress President Daniel Paul Watkins was not ACU's first black SA Congress president.

Forgiveness crucial in conflict
"Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.

Abilene offers unique entertainment opportunities
Students often leave town for the weekend because they think they can find nothing to do in Abilene. It is even more common for students to dread returning to Abilene. The streetlights turn off at night, the city looks fast asleep by 9 p.m. and the "to-do's" do not even compare to places like Austin or San Antonio. But face it, we do not live in ... [Read More…]

‘Religulous’ sparks answerable theological questions
By Tanner Anderson, Page Editor After viewing Bill Maher's documentary Religulous, I was prepared to right his wrongs with this column, until the underlying question finally surfaced in my mind. How should Christians interact and discuss religion with individuals who find Christianity ludicrous? I do not have the answer to this question, but the ... [Read More…]
Black History Month marks time to reflect on past
Dating back to 1926, Dr. Carter G. Woodson had a dream; no, not just like Dr. King, but each man's efforts have contributed to the advancement of African Americans. With the passing of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we enter a month honoring African Americans known as Black History Month. But for this celebration, we should turn our attention to the ...

Feminism misrepresented by common stereotypes
By Lydia Melby, Arts Editor Read Comments For years, I was what I like to call a 'closet-feminist.' Up until a year or two ago, I would preface anything I wanted to say about women's rights in the church or equal pay for equal work with the disclaimer, "I'm not a feminist or anything, but." Eventually, I grew up and realized that identifying ... [Read More…]
