OPINION

Being a freshman sucks

Jennafer Bowman | @jennaferbowman, Staff Columnist • September 26, 2019

Being a freshman in college sucks. You’re forced to live in a 12-foot-by-12-foot cinder block room that acquires dust like flies on manure.

Opinion: Twitter is the best social media

Dalton Counts | @DaltonCounts11, Staff Columnist • September 26, 2019

Most college students have always been cognizant of some kind of social media platform.

Opinion: We must bolster our allies against China

Joshua Sussman, Staff Columnist • September 23, 2019

As tensions with China heighten, one CW columnist offers his solution.

Opinion: Leadership is about relationships

Parker Grogan, Staff Columnist • September 23, 2019

How you treat others determines your success, so all of the time you spend in college building relationships is good practice for your future as a leader in whatever field you choose to go into.

Our view: Welcome to commenting

CW Editorial Board • September 20, 2019

With the exception of outer space, there is only one final, unbraved frontier, one last Wild West of human interaction. We’re talking, of course, about internet comment sections.

Opinion: The University punishes for its image, not its morals

Heather Gann, Staff Columnist • September 19, 2019

In the case of Strayer, what would the University have liked him to do in that situation? Run up and tackle the guy to knock the beer out of his hand?

Opinion: It’s not just girl talk

Bronwyn Green, Staff Columnist • September 19, 2019

Let’s talk about what it’s like to be a woman. Sexism in the workplace is annoying, and I don’t understand why people think it’s OK to talk down to people in general, let alone talking down to someone for their gender.

Teachers are undervalued

Dalton Counts | @DaltonCounts11, Staff Columnist • September 18, 2019

Whenever someone introduces themselves as an education major, there is always an audible “Oh, wow” in the subsequent conversation. This happens solely because we have been told that it takes a “special person” to devote their time on Earth to teaching.

UA’s current housing policy does not look out for the best interests of all students

Olivia Davis | @oliviadavis0, Staff Columnist • September 17, 2019

The discrepancy between the freshman and upperclassmen housing policy is scary. The University gives the promise of housing to its freshman, but returning students often fall to the side.

Opinion: College students shouldn’t have to buy their books

Heather Gann, Staff Columnist • September 17, 2019

After looking over the seven-book shopping list required for just one of my four classes, I began to ask myself: Why are we as students required to buy all of these overpriced texts that the professors deem necessary?

Chick-fil-A: The most American brand

Hayden T. Crosby, Staff Columnist • September 16, 2019

Roll Tide to America. Roll Tide to freedom. Roll Tide to Chick-fil-A.

Opinion: End the statute of limitations on sexual assault

Caroline Kincade, Staff Columnist • September 16, 2019

In recent years, the revolutionary idea of treating women with respect in the workplace has been reinforced by millions of social media surfers, formal publications and progressive women’s rights organizations.
