By Parker Gordon, senior political science and music major from Stephenville Greetings. My name is Parker Gordon, president of the ACU College Republicans.

Next step crucial for Students’ Association
The dust is settling from two long weeks of campaigning and three hard days of voting. There are still random bits of evidence that our student body elected next year's executive officers, but for the most part the campaign material is down and life goes on.

Former Wildcat casts Heisman vote
By David Ramsey I blew my chance. The chance to gather bribes from friends and even enemies who attended Texas A&M, Kansas State and Notre Dame. If you know anything about ACU tuition - and most of my readers know far too much about the subject - you know I could use a sweet stack of cash right now. Instead, I cast an untainted vote ...
