No more hurting people: We must come together, not tear each other apart

Maxton Thoman April 17, 2013

No more hurting people. So read a sign created by 8-year-old Martin Richard just one year ago, blue and proudly decorated, with one more word visibly apparent. Peace. A year later, he and two others...

High-stakes testing must end, we are more than scores

Tarif Haque April 17, 2013

You are a number, sitting amid other numbers, some higher, some lower. In a fleeting moment of barbaric clarity, you remind yourself that humans are animals, and as an animal, you will face competition....

In response to ‘Examine Language’

Letter to the Editor April 17, 2013

As a member of Bama Students for Life, I would like to address the issues of rhetoric and respect. The Crimson White’s editorial asking BSFL to “examine our language” was released after The CW had...

Don’t let organizational differences divide, isolate you

Mazie Bryant April 17, 2013

I am what one may call a mutt, a hybrid, a crossbreed. I am a mix of two distinctly separate definitions of a University student. More so, I am a member of a subset on campus that is far too small. I...

Marriage rights about liberty, not church or politics

Amber Patterson April 16, 2013

In the world of politics, the hot topic has shifted from gun control to gay marriage. President Obama has spoken out in support of gay marriage, making him the first president to do so. For the president,...

Alabama Democrats must move beyond the likes of Joe Reed

John Speer April 16, 2013

I must leave the anger, wounded feelings and misery of the abortion debate to another pen; my conscience is anxious to provoke thought on another score and leave the murky waters of the pro-life argument...

‘Helpers’ stand out after Boston Marathon tragedy

Hannah Waid April 16, 2013

Only a few shorts weeks ago, I stood at the 9/11 memorial in New York in awe of the loss and heartache it commemorated. Now as I read headlines about the Boston Marathon bombing, I am again in that state...

University’s public assembly laws must be re-examined

Lucy Cheseldine April 15, 2013

A few weeks ago, police officers shut down a harmless student organised “Harlem Shake,” which took place in front of Gorgas Library steps after barely five minutes of action. This Wednesday, as I walked...

Insulting the public not conducive to campus abortion debate

Letter to the Editor April 15, 2013

  Abortion is a hot topic, no doubt. Though Johnathan Speer and I seem to be on the opposite side of the debate, we actually agree on many things. We both disagree with any reference to abortion as...

Changing from ‘pro-choice’ to ‘pro-abortion’

Brad Erthal April 15, 2013

A campus group assembled last week for a demonstration in which they referred to other people on this campus as perpetrators and proponents of genocide. I am tempted to simply invoke Godwin’s law (the...

Outstanding Baylor center should play WNBA, not be Cuban’s show pony

Amber Patterson April 14, 2013

Over the past month, the world of sports has seen more action than usual. Baseball season has begun, the NCAA men’s and women’s tournaments are wrapping up and the NBA playoffs are just right around...

Consider the issue, not the language

Letter to the Editor April 14, 2013

Much has been made of the graphic displays being used by Bama Students for Life. As an undergraduate, I was president of a pro-life student group at another institution. Our group chose not to use the...
