Students should have quick, easy access to medical care at the university. However, understaffing and under-budgeting at the University Medical Clinic is leaving sick students waiting for a relief. The clinic treated 7,200 patients last year, including patients who visited more than once. Of those visits, 3,872 patients visited with the doctor or ... [Read More…]
C.S. Lewis lives on in silver screen
By Jaci Schneider, Copy Editor Much Ado About Something In the fourth grade, I remember telling my teacher, Ms. Mitchell, I wanted to read something "different," and so Ms. Mitchell introduced me to C.S.

Social clubs, rumor for improvement
By Jonathan Smith, Editor in Chief If I believed everything I hear around campus then one social club pledge could have died in a recent pledging activity, and packs of club members have been roaming the streets of Abilene breaking into other clubs' members' homes, stealing and threatening the physical well-being of others.

Miers added to Bush’s croney staff
By Sarah Carlson, Arts Editor I Am The Enemy President George W.

Politically diverse faculty opens student minds
ACU is located in the buckle of the Bible belt, in a "red" state, and most of the student population comes from conservative households. But diversity does exist when it comes to the political preferences of the professors on campus who identify themselves as Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians and some that choose no political affiliation.

Freshman follies were once your folly
By Mallory Sherwood, Managing Editor Face the Facts I've never entertained the idea of what it might have been like to be a freshman during the 1920s, '50s or '80s but this year's freshman class enlightened me as well as hundreds of others this weekend with its production of Freshmen Follies.

All music from God, degraded by humans
By Mitch Holt, Opinion Editor Don't Believe the Hype My second year to attend Austin City Limits music festival, I knew what to expect atmospherically--varieties of interesting people, the meshing of sounds from stage to stage, long walks, hot sun, pungent marijuana odors, scantily clad middle-aged women and, last but not least, exceptional ...
