Church desegregation will be a conscious effort by us
I write to you today with a somber tone. Something I learned in Wimon Walker's Culture in Christianity (a class which I highly recommend, by the way) has stuck with me since 2000 and has influenced me profoundly.

Advocacy only possible by caring Students’ Association
The Students' Association's (SA) reputation with the administration is dependent upon the leadership of SA.

The ... [Read More…]
Reading the Optimist 101
When in the course of ACU events Optimist readers need a little journalism lesson, we provide. It has become clear to us that a large number of students are unclear about the differences between columns, articles and editorials. Everything on the Views page is someone's opinion.

Information Technology actually trying to improve, not slow down, messaging for students on campus
As the chief information officer at ACU, I am writing to respond to Ricky Cadden's letter to the editor. Ricky stated that Information Technology at ACU had "taken it upon itself to 'play' with ports for AOL's Instant Messenger, rendering the service next to useless for students on campus." This is exactly opposite of the truth. Information ... [Read More…]
SA proposal needs more thought
Students' Association President Jeremy Smith came up with a solution to budget squabbling. But the solution was unconstitutional by his own admission.
