To Tuscaloosa: A fond farewell

Taylor Holland April 22, 2012

I had a fairly good idea of everything I was going to say in this farewell column until I sat down at my computer, gathered my thoughts about graduating and got to typing. I’m finding that after my four...

New College, old traditions

New College, old traditions

Jake Smith April 22, 2012

Maybe you don’t know anything about New College, and maybe you don’t care. Maybe you think it’s neat, but not for you. Maybe you think it’s a bunch of restless slackers hanging out and pretending...

Tuscaloosa’s apathetic amphitheater needs to do more to satisfy T-Town music lovers

Letter to the Editor April 18, 2012

If you go to the website that sells tickets for the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater, you’ll find five events as of April 12: one in April, two in June, one in July and one in August. There is something missing...

Senior Farewell: Students come first at the University of Alabama

Letter to the Editor April 18, 2012

Education today is failing to truly teach

Letter to the Editor April 18, 2012

Much more than those who came before us, our generation is characterized by a fear of commitment. Dates are a thing of the past. They occur only after a relationship has miraculously sprouted and indicate...

Birth control shouldn’t be an issue in the religious ring

Claire Chretien April 17, 2012

I’m writing in response to Sophia Fazal’s column “Birth Control should not be considered a controversial issue.” The title of Ms. Fazal’s column is correct; birth control should not be considered...

Egan’s is best bar on strip, not even near campus

Evan Ward April 17, 2012

The Strip was alive last weekend. A-day attracted fans of all types from far and wide. They came not so much to scout out the Tide’s 2012 roster as much as they came for the spectacle. People who aren’t...

An open letter to SGA Speaker Will Barto

Letter to the Editor April 17, 2012

Dear Speaker Barto, As someone who served the student body in the SGA Senate with you last year, I feel I have the credibility to speak out about your recent win. In Monday’s paper you discussed “looking...

Political definitions create political divisions

SoRelle Wyckoff April 16, 2012

I had an interesting conversation in my honors seminar today. The professor asked our class of 12 if we considered ourselves “liberal.” After looking around the table, most of us nodded our heads...

Passive, meet aggressive

Letter to the Editor April 16, 2012

Let me preface this column with the darling passive-aggressive bite I’ve gathered since living in Ridgecrest West as a freshman. For the safety and protection of myself from my ex-roommate and definitely...
