ONLY ACU ACU is a unique institution. Hardly a day will go by that something doesn’t happen to cause someone to sigh, “Only at ACU.” This section is dedicated to some of the idiosyncrasies that make ACU different from almost any other school. Events such as Sing Song and daily activities like chapel, plus a few more unorthodox items, are included. And as the Abilene Reporter-News quotes, “Without or with offense to friends or foes, we sketch your world The rock garden. We’re referring to that small plot of ground between the Campus Center and Moody Coliseum. It’s naked now, except for a few rocks scattered around. Once it held grass (brown grass, but grass nevertheless), but that was before the grounds department removed all the grass to make way for a flower garden. We've waited almost two years, and as far as we can see nothing has sprouted but rocks. Well, it's unique. Student housing. It's incredible the lengths some students will go to to get off campus. They tell their par- ents it will save money; they tell the school they can’t study in the dorm; and then, if the dean smiles kindly upon them, they're off campus. They live off an alley, over a garage, or the “lucky ones live in a house— houses like Pine Boulevard Estates where one resi- dent lived in the pantry and nailed his dresser drawers to the wall. Another resident lived in the screened porch where heating in the winter consists of turning a fan around backwards and blowing the cool air out. The stories students could tell about toilets that bubble when the bathtub is drained, gas ovens that adjust to one temperature — “On, wall heaters that fall off the wall, roofs that leak and mildew the walls, doors that won't open, doors that won't shut, and on and on. Most off-campus students could tell all these stories and more, but they won’t. If anyone should ask them, they'll reply, It's great. I love it. Because with all the hassles of living off campus, nothing beats having your own place and doing your own thing - if you can get all four roommates to agree to it. Social clubs. Most universities have frater- nities and sororities, national or- ganizations common to all schools. ACU has social clubs. The name it- self sounds horribly elitist. It conjures up visions of well-dressed people sitting around sipping tea and engaging in polite conversation. Social clubs at ACU are maligned and revered. Some think they’re sinful; some think they're wasteful and some think they’re great. They come in three sizes — struggling, comfortable and too 5 —Only at ACU
