Run parking problems out of town

SoRelle Wyckoff October 3, 2011

Contenders through September

Tyler Rigdon September 28, 2011

As we approach October, the college football preseason poll begins to shape. Teams such as Notre Dame and Florida State long for a restart, while others, such as Clemson and Baylor, soak in the thoughts...

What is your GPA really worth?

Xavier Burgin September 28, 2011

I’m a resident advisor on campus. The majority of students have dealt with my kind for at least one year during their time at Alabama. While most free themselves of my administrative tyranny once they’ve...

Austin Gaddis’s Sept. 15 op-ed piece on the liberal war against fiscal responsibility, jobs, and soda troubled me because of its obvious bias. It is not the conservative bias with which I take issue...

Student Organization Seating has potential to be great

Jake Gray September 27, 2011

Throughout the past month, The Crimson White has put an extra emphasis on the Student Organization Seating selection process. Many students saw a system with several flaws, and did their absolute best...

Communication is key

John Brinkerhoff September 27, 2011

Last week, in a strange homage to the Reformation, Wesley Vaughn nailed his “22 Theses” to the already cluttered walls of the opinions page. In it, he essentially criticized the UA administration by...

SGA lacks leadership, transparency

John Davis September 26, 2011

It’s been an interesting week for the Student Government Association. What started out as an innocuous story in The Crimson White has somehow managed to snowball into the resignation of SGA President...

Shiver, Shakes and Shellfish: The Best Show in T-town 2011

Jake Smith September 26, 2011

  What were you doing around 10 p.m. on Wednesday, September 21? Perhaps you were washing clothes at the dorm laundry or trying to do homework but really just watching the first three seasons of Mad...

Acceptance necessary for growth

SoRelle Wyckoff September 26, 2011

There is a lot to say about the strength of tradition and the power of change. The University of Alabama has the vision of both maintaining tradition and creating new precedents. So much of our school...
