All week students heard to make good choices and to know boundaries. While this usually results in many students tuning out, the advice and approach of this year's Making Choices Week has served as a reminder of safe thinking before spring break more than a preachy list of do's and don'ts. About 400 students will be part of Spring Break ... [Read More…]
World needs knowledge of God
By Mallory Schlabach, Editor in Chief Face the Facts Prepare for the surprise of the century: Americans are flunking religion. Nearly 60 years after the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional for students to be taught religion in schools, 45 years after the Court ruled prayer unconstitutional and 27 years since the Ten Commandments were no ...

U.S. plays a role in global slavery
By Kelsi Peace, Features Editor Thoughtful Ramblings Modern-day slavery always seemed distant to me - somewhere, across an ocean and in a world wholly different from my own, I knew people were living horrific lives as someone else's property. But when the speaker at IJM's Chapel forum last Thursday dangled shackles that are in use today, slavery ... [Read More…]
Be part of the change to end slavery
With the abolition of the Atlantic Slave Trade in the early 19th century, the slavery issue would appear to be one the Western world has successfully kicked. And though the U.S. is still dealing with the effects of its inhumane treatment toward a multitude of foreign individuals, fears and thoughts of slavery would seem to pose little threat to the ...

Become an abolitionist today
By Daniel Johnson-Kim, Sports Editor Slavery is no longer a problem. The time of slavery was the time of a bearded, top-hat wearing president and the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." At least that's what I used to think. After attending the International Justice Mission Chapel forum on Thursday my eyes have seen the glory, and I realize slavery ... [Read More…]

Don’t waste your time on Discovery
By Jared Fields, Managing Editor A great TV day is when I can watch A&E Biographies, the History and Discovery channels and maybe a few episodes of "Law & Order." What I love about the previous three channels are the shows of the unknown, mysterious and even the grotesque. The best example of a show I used to schedule my life around is anything ...

Energy conservation aids universe
Global warming and the need for energy conservation are upon us. OK, so they have been for some time, but after former vice president and 2000 presidential candidate Al Gore reheated the public's awareness of environmental responsibility with the Oscar-winning documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," it is the most convenient time to take action, even ...

Making Sing Song fair for all
For many, the winners of Sing Song 2007 were an unwanted reminder of Sing Song problems of the past. Many students, aside from members of Sigma Theta Chi and Gamma Sigma Phi, held out hope that ACU might finally create a fair, equal and unbiased playing field for other Sing Song participants. Sadly, we were once again let down. Siggies swept ... [Read More…]
Club member argues Sing Song not about winning
It bothers me to hear people going around saying how they, their class or their club were robbed during the awards for Sing Song. Students go around talking about how much harder they worked than other directors, but honestly who can say they worked harder? Are we comparing how hard we worked by hours spent, or by how much of your heart and soul ... [Read More…]
