Entropy-the law saying things left to themselves fall apart- is a term rarely heard outside of physics, but apparently its laws even govern the government. Because another Constitutional amendment, likely to be ratified by the students next week, will leave another discrepancy in SA's governing documents. If uncorrected in this case, a junior vice ...

Learn to love cell phones
By Kyle Peveto, Opinion Editor Column Schmolumn I first began to hate cell phones when I was 18 and I read On the Road by Jack Kerouac. Kerouac roars across the country hitchhiking, busing and borrowing cars with friends and family only guessing where he laid his head. I never planned to follow Kerouac's exploration of America, but I hoped to ... [Read More…]
Song leader refreshed by Tuesday Chapel
In the midst of all the discussion about Chapel, something different actually happened. I don't mean changing formats, forums, or the ideas about cultural diversity in worship. I'm sure the purpose of Carlos Macias' participation in Chapel Tuesday was to expand our worship by teaching the Spanish version of "Open the Eyes of My Heart". But when he ... [Read More…]
Students react to SA’s funding letter
Congress wasted $30,000 on bowling alley scoreboards March 3, the SA Congress approved $30,000 of your money to purchase an electronic scoring system for the bowling alley. Now some of you are probably feeling that your money was wasted, some of you are happy that you won't have to score manually ever again when you bowl, and some of you might ... [Read More…]
Kudos for crosswalks
New crosswalks in three locations on Campus Court and East North 16th streets, a street light across from Gardner Hall and increased visibility in parking lots are some of the traffic changes the campus has undergone in the past few weeks, thanks to the ACU Police Department, the Students' Association and the city of Abilene. We applaud the ... [Read More…]
Choose Edwards in Texas primary
John Edwards was easily written off as a Democratic nominee months ago, but he continues to survive. In Tuesday's presidential primary, the Optimist endorses John Edwards, democratic senator from North Carolina. Though Edwards' chances of winning the nomination lessen every primary, he's not out of the race yet. His positive campaign and focus ... [Read More…]
Snake, rattle and roll
By Joel Weckerly, Sports Editor Weck's World You haven't lived until you've eaten rattlesnake. It's not so much the taste. Deep-fried rattlesnake is just about as tough to bite into as it is to imagine: if you are able to get through the bony backstrap [yes, rattlesnakes have bones], you'll find the meat tastes like a bland type of chicken. It ... [Read More…]
Visitor suggests Chapel changes
I hadn't been to Chapel in a long time, and it probably would have been longer, except for one thing: my oldest child wants to join the rest of you at ACU. When Chapel began, it seemed that three-fourths of the students were talking with their neighbors-just ignoring the devotional going on below. When it came time to sing-my son and I seemed to ...

Don’t move Lectureship
Should the university move Lectureship? Some on campus would say yes. They want to move Lectureship to a time in the fall-a time when the weather is better and when potential attendees won't have to choose between ACU and Pepperdine's lecture events. Others would say no-these include people in the alumni and marketing offices, who work long hours ... [Read More…]
Sing Song excites, unifies students
By Jonathan Smith, Managing Editor Sing Song doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I've been to two shows now, and I seemed to have missed the appeal of choreographed arm motions, smiles the size of the Cheshire Cat's and completely destroying your voice in the days leading up to the show. But for a few hours Saturday, Sing Song and I ... [Read More…]
