Abbey Moses, president of College Democrats, and Rachael Shudde, president of College Republicans, address the student body on why they should vote. Following the national elections in 2014, the United States Census released the Current Population Supplement where it was found that only 19.9% of individuals aged 18-29 turned out to vote.

Letter to the editor: Men’s and Women’s Basketball, the jewel of ACU athletics?
As a proud alumnus of our dear Christian college, I'd like to reminisce about the good 'ole days in Moody Coliseum. I'd like to hearken back to a time when the ACU basketball programs put on a show and the stands were packed with cheering fans. The only problem is five years ago our basketball teams couldn't beat a drum with a metronome. But ... [Read More…]
Why students should educate themselves before voting
The ways our generation consumes information about these candidates distorts their stance on hot topics, distracts us from the issues at heart and keeps us from digging deeper. A Pew Research Center article says, "according to the Census Bureau report, the turnout rate among 18-to 24-year olds increased to almost 50 percent in 2008 and that ... [Read More…]
Bean Not Famous Among Current Students
Students have the right to be served high-quality food. With the amount of money paid to attend this university, students deserve quality food including its preparation, presentation and service as each one passes the through the lines.

Netflix Negativity
Netflix, the patriarch of the binge-watching generation, is now available in nearly every country on Earth and has firmly entrenched itself in the social strata of the modern age. In other words, Netflix is here to stay, which most pundits argue signals the downfall of network television. But it also means that binge-watching is here to stay. In ... [Read More…]
I’m not saying you should drop out, but…
Education is the key to success. I've heard this phrase or some rendition of it countless times, and I believe it's true. However, it doesn't ring true in the sense that you have to sit in a classroom and earn a degree to make something of yourself. Now, you can be just as successful without going to college as someone with a master's degree - ... [Read More…]
Can someone tell me why I started watching the Bachelor
So I'm new to this whole "Bachelor" scene. There. I said it. I can now be classified among the millions of women in America who can't seem to stop watching Ben Higgins on screen. I've never been a Bachelor girl. Before Monday, I had watched two episodes of Kaitlyn Bristowe's season and swore on my life I'd never again watch the show. I hated ... [Read More…]
A conservative’s support for on-campus carry ban
I'm sure most of us were surprised to receive an email from President Schubert last week while we were finishing up winter break. That email contained the decision to ban on-campus carry at Abilene Christian University. To me, it did not come as a shock that the university decided to continue its ban. In my time at ACU, the campus has felt safe ... [Read More…]
Think for yourself about campus carry
Guns, the 2nd Amendment, the NRA and other firearm related things are a huge deal in Texas. Before I moved to Texas I had no idea -Texas culture is hard for someone from the North to understand. Today, campus carry is the hot topic in Texas. Over the past 4 months I've delved into the issue of campus carry, Senate Bill 11 and its ... [Read More…]
Can Trump evolve beyond social Darwinism?
During the 2012 elections, several editorials and academic papers declared a rebirth of social Darwinism in candidates' platforms. Today, I believe specific candidates have built on that rebirth and utilized a brand of neo-social Darwinism as their platform. Donald Trump stands out as the chief social Darwinist of the 2016 elections. But first, ... [Read More…]
