One big leap for mankind

January 13, 2015 by Rachel Fritz

The world can be so full of hate sometimes, but on this particular day, it seems as if there's a little less. Yesterday, while I was putting off my work, I saw on TV that Tiffany & Co. featured a same-sex couple in their new ad campaign entitled "Will You." This is the first time the company has done such a thing, and it's received a lot of ... [Read More…]

Putin wasn’t a fan of the koalas at G20

November 18, 2014 by Madeline Orr

On this day, Nov. 19, in 1985, President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev attended their first summit meeting together in Geneva. The two produced no earth-shattering agreements, but it was a clear signal of their desire to mend relations and keep the nuclear arms race under control. "Summits" of world leaders are still happening ... [Read More…]

Marissa versus Nature

November 13, 2014 by Marissa Jones

Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals and over all the creatures that move along the ground." Dominion over animals. It's a God-given right. Recently, however, my house seems to be void of this right, ... [Read More…]

Hollywood: The same old song and sequel

November 13, 2014 by Optimist Editorial Board

Superheroes, sequels and remakes. That's what it takes to win the weekend at the box office. Earlier this week, Disney announced that Toy Story 4 is in production, set with a 2017 release date. This announcement, along with one from a few weeks ago revealing Marvel's lineup through 2020, have made it apparent that there is nothing original ... [Read More…]

ACU and attendance should break up

November 11, 2014 by Daniel Zepeda

Attendance has always been one of those things about ACU that I think is taken way too seriously. Class attendance, that is. The fact that teachers can penalize a student's grade just because he or she has missed the class a certain number of times is beyond me. Last time I checked, students pay for classes. Shouldn't we get to decide how we use ... [Read More…]

What George Orwell knew about Facebook

November 3, 2014 by Madeline Orr

In George Orwell's book, 1984, the citizens of Oceania participate in a daily scheduled period known as the "Two Minutes Hate." During the hate, party members are required to stand in front of a television yelling obscenities and violently raging against ideological enemies flashed on the screen. Even though the book's protagonist, Winston, ... [Read More…]

Classrooms are overrated

October 23, 2014 by Madeline Orr

As a convergence journalism major, I get to take classes to learn very specific skills. Classes like "how to write a column 30 minutes before deadline" or "how to stalk sources that refuse to respond to your emails." Actually, we are not taught those things in class. In class, I learn technical things like where to put commas or the difference ... [Read More…]
