By Mallory Schlabach, Editor in Chief Face the Facts After nearly four years at ACU, Abilene is home. It's the place where I've found a church, made lasting friendships and found a connection to the rural Texas town more than 1,300 miles from my home in Ohio. People say home is where your heart is, and until this weekend, I didn't ... [Read More…]
Amish react to shooting with grace
Your article titled " Effects of school shootings touch ACU students" was excellent, along with the three sidenotes. I am Pennsylvania Dutch on my mother's side and grew up in Lancaster County, Pa. I know the area well because my mother has been a tour guide/historian for the county for over 30 years. My 24-year-old daughter, Wendy, currently ... [Read More…]
Health more important than grades
Midterms are upon us. We've approached that point in the semester in which the pleasantries of a new school year have worn off, and it's difficult to find the motivation to focus on the task at hand: maintaining good grades and physical health. As midterms approach, some among us have started to blow off classes and bask in the ever-enticing ... [Read More…]
Learning to love Montanan within
By Kelsi Peace, Features Editor I rarely tell people the name of my hometown. Instead, I find it is much easier to simply answer "Montana" when people ask where I'm from, rather than launching into a lengthy explanation of quaint Whitefish, Montanta and its proximity to Glacier National Park and Canada. At this point , I finally conclude lamely ... [Read More…]
Life lessons learned through baseball
By Mitch Holt, Copy Editor As I watched my Red Sox toss their 2005-06 season to the dogs, I wondered, 'why, after 21 years, do I still love this team?' Then I remembered. The hour-and-a-half drive to Boston from our small Connecticut town always felt like an eternity when on our way to a Sox game. My brother and I, sporting the team's red and ... [Read More…]
Cutting down social clubs places accuser at fault
It always makes me smile when I read or hear about pledging related topics. Every year we see articles and hear students talking about social clubs. A lot of these opinions refer to these clubs as buying friends, needless activity, unnecessary expense, and not following the mission that they claim to be following. Often these people put down those ... [Read More…]
Research, register and remember to vote
Voting is essential to democracy and expressing our beliefs about our government. We all know this, but we often don't follow it. The deadline for registering to vote in the state of Texas is quickly approaching; registration applications must be postmarked by Sunday, something that everyone should be paying attention to. We strongly believe it is ... [Read More…]
Vacation to the moon and back
By Mallory Schlabach, Editor in Chief Face the Facts I could fly to the moon in the near future for less than $20 million. As the space tourist program gains popularity, particularly in the Western part of the world, new programs have developed and ideas tossed around to put more civilians in space. One program is the Journalist in Space ... [Read More…]
Awareness: key to bringing fellow believers together
The topic of racial unity within the church is an old one. Since before the civil rights movement to this year's Lectureship, the church focuses on race relations. Long discussions have been made about this topic, but for it to still be around there has been little change. In many denominations, churches split according to culture and race. ... [Read More…]
ACU experiences an influx of lemmings
By Jared Fields, Managing Editor Since first learning what lemmings do, I've wondered what would makes creature leap en masse to their deaths. Lemmings jump off cliffs in large numbers because of poor vision. They can't tell the difference between a riverbank and the sharp edge of a cliff. With this in mind, I arrived at ACU freshman year and ... [Read More…]
