After serving 4.5 years at ACU, we are simply appalled at the level which the Bean Sprout has dropped to. The menu only contains three options: beef, chicken, or salad. We recall a time when the Bean Sprout was the place to be; a great option to the monotony of the World Famous Bean. However, that was also probably a time when it took less than an ... [Read More…]
Intramural fees–more to it than you think
Sometimes, just looking at the numbers doesn't tell the whole story. Students can easily look at the cost for an intramural team at ACU and the cost for a team at another university and believe it costs more to play intramurals here than anywhere else. The Students' Association did this very thing last week at its meeting when members saw that ... [Read More…]
Leaving chapel early uncalled for
By Jonathan Smith, Editor in Chief I'll admit it: Today I left Chapel early. I stood up during what I thought would be the last song, walked down the steps and out into the concourse area. I did it Wednesday too; in fact, I've essentially done this every Wednesday and Friday for the past two years. Not because I don't like praise days or ... [Read More…]
Your Voice: Letter to the Editor
Look, I'm not trying to advocate girls walking around in lingerie, but maybe it's time to relax a little bit. As an alumnus of a very conservative Christian college, it's a little frustrating sometimes to watch people over-react to little things. It isn't the job of an institution of higher learning to legislate the manner in which someone dresses. ... [Read More…]
LSU being sued–human life over animal life
Thousands of humans have died. The devastation, cordially provided by Hurricane Katrina, is continuously escalating as people truly realize how much they've lost--as the relief of surviving is wearing off, if that's possible. Billions of dollars in damage to universities, businesses, families and just about any other money-making party, and not ... [Read More…]
Column Like I See ‘Em: Mega changes to mega churches
By Steve Holt, Opinion Editor Most ACU students won't be attending churches that look anything like the ones they grew up in, according to two new books by respected Christian authors. A growing number of people, especially young people, are rejecting their parents' churches for non-traditional, participatory churches, writes George Barna in his ... [Read More…]
Hurricane Rita–public enemy No. 1
By Jaci Schneider, Copy Editor Much Ado About Something Dear Rita, please go away. We don't want you here; I'm very sorry, but you're not at all welcome. Your sister Katrina already visited last month, and we're still recovering; your family sure knows how to outstay its welcome. I know, you're thinking about visiting Galveston and Houston this ...

Excerpts from a letter to the editor about the sculpture in the Hall of Servants in the Bible building.
One of my favorite things about the Bible Building is the Hall of Servants. Its openness and brightness appeal to students, inviting them in and making them feel at home. Majors and non-majors alike congregate in the Hall to eat lunch, catch up with friends, read, study with classmates, and meet new people. And while the Hall bustles with energy, ... [Read More…]
Congress needs more committed members
The student body's elected voice only can whisper this year compared to voices of the past. After a low participation in Students' Association elections this year, 29 seats on Congress remained unfilled by elected representatives, including six of 20 class senator positions. If Congress expects to be a voice that shouts in advocacy for the ... [Read More…]
Free time–gift for the busy student
By Jonathan Smith, Editor in Chief I plan on getting lost Wednesday night or at least certainly by this weekend. Because when the second season of ABC's series Lost premiers Wednesday night, I will either be by my TV or have the VCR running. But I shouldn't have time for that. Certainly not during the school week when I have a job to do and a ... [Read More…]
