Stop dogging Vick
Michael Vick took the field yesterday for the first time in two years. I applauded.
Let me go ahead and say I know what Michael Vick did — dog fighting, killing underperforming dogs, gambling, etc. — was not only illegal, but also horrific.

Crime doesn’t play
I now know that playing in the NFL is a privilege and not a right.”
These were some of the first words Michael Vick said to the public after being reinstated to the NFL. If he had really understood it was a privilege, he would have treated it like one.

The much-anticipated game between the Wildcats and the Bearcats was delayed more than an hour because of a lightning storm, and the ensuing game was not much prettier.
The storm tore down tents, banners and signs, and sent fans [...]

Student options for publicity dwindle
In the good, old days, walking around campus meant seeing the same flier taped to the sidewalk five times in five feet. It was during this time that the pastel colors of sidewalk chalk dotted ACU’s pathways, informing students of the next big campus activity. Sadly, those days are over.
Early last semester, the decision was [...]
