This morning during my 8 a.m., I left class to walk around and wake myself up so I could pay attention in class. One thing I love about being a journalism major is the fact that every floor has the news playing on a television at all times. But this morning, it was different. I stopped and had a few conversations before going into the lounge for ... [Read More…]
Letter to the Editor: Ashley Stirman
As a senior club member, I took issue with some of the comments made in the “Pledging procedures should change” letter to the editor published on August 28. I agreed with the title and I don’t have to be a fan of the changes to recognize the need for constant evaluation and accountability in such a large system. The issue came when the author ...

Cs get degrees, seriously
It's the thing that has college kids stressing out all the time, the thing that can make or break you depending on your preparation, the thing that professors take forever to submit. It's your grades. I know it's not necessarily a laughing matter, but I think it's funny that we worry ourselves so much over a number that pops up on Canvas ... [Read More…]
You’re not meant to be stuck in a bubble
The "ACU Bubble" is real. We know most don’t want to believe that it exists, but we have a responsibility to recognize it and overcome it. If an issue doesn’t affect us, we tend to not pay much attention to it, if any. This needs to change. According to science, our world is our only viable option for living. So if this is our only shot, why do ... [Read More…]
What the American Girl company teaches about ethnic studies agendas
Do children need to have toys with the same skin color as them? Do they need to read about people who look like themselves in literature? Many people are pushing for more diversity in children's toys and literature, an agenda that says children of color need to "see themselves" in their entertainment and studies. Texas is trying to ...

Have we effectively exercised our right to protest?
A year ago, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick chose to sit during the national anthem before the start of each NFL game. Kaepernick went unnoticed for the first few games of preseason, but once he started catching flack his motivation was clear. Through much controversy, Kaepernick made it clear that his choice to sit was in protest ... [Read More…]
There’s no difference between pledging and marijuana
Yes, the headline is "click-baity," but that doesn't make it any less true. The argument against the recent changes to the bid night and pledging procedures and the argument for the legalization of marijuana are essentially the same. Advocates for the legalization of marijuana would argue that if people are already using marijuana, that it is in ... [Read More…]

Reese had it right: The church needs to reconsider LGBT acceptance
In lieu of one bold sermon including one brave female professor, and in a coliseum filled with generations of Christians both old and new, one powerful sentence was announced across the podium during the finale of a Church of Christ conference – the church needs and should reconsider our stance on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender ...

Give the purple and white a chance to fight
The weekend we’ve been waiting for is finally here. For the first time since 1958, our football team will play on campus. Texans and non-Texans alike prepare for the all the pomp and circumstance that comes with football. But not every student is happy about the hype. We challenge the student body to give the stadium a chance, at least for a ... [Read More…]
