Reenactments aren’t about racism

Letter to the Editor October 19, 2010

Well, it seems as though Paul Thompson drank the Kool-Aid. Thompson’s article, “Witches, Nazis, and Tea Party Lunatics,” is nothing more than the raving lunacy of an ignorant lemming who can’t...

Mallet is able to rise above

Letter to the Editor October 19, 2010

Sometime in the wee hours of the morning on Thursday, a group of people decided to steal a large chunk of the unfinished Homecoming float sitting in front of the Mallet Assembly. This theft shook our hopes...

It’s still too hard to find seats in Bryant Denny Stadium

Letter to the Editor October 17, 2010

I am completely displeased with the availability of seats in Bryant-Denny Stadium. I paid for a student ticket package over the summer in order to gain access to all of the home Alabama football games....

Smokers should follow the thirty-foot rule

Letter to the Editor October 17, 2010

There is no better time to be a student at the University than the fall. The sounds of Bryant-Denny on gameday, the sight of the plants on the Quad changing color, and the cool breeze signaling the coming...

Ending America’s dependence on OPEC Oil

Question All: CW articles, organizations, UA traditions

CW Staff October 14, 2010

By Christy Boardman Friends, Alabamians, Countrymen (better than plainsmen), lend me your eyes. I come to address concerns, not to bury them; The good that HCA does grows as HCA grows, The success...

A fight for one is a fight for all

Adam Greene October 13, 2010

We live in a nation that is quick and proud to boast that it is a beacon of freedom, equality and social justice. Yet we know it has not always been the case that our pride is justified by our practice....

Individuality should be celebrated

Josh Burford October 13, 2010

In response to the op-ed piece by Michael Patrick, I find myself confused and a bit dismayed. I am confused as to how a conversation about teen death can become a tirade against “flamboyant gays.”...

“Sexuality not so divisive” creates divisions

Mitchell Galloway October 13, 2010

Ironically, in Michael Patrick’s article “Sexuality not so divisive,” division is made in the form of the author’s dichotomy of individuals as “gay or normal.” It appalls me to read an article...

Patrick lacks logic

Alex Valencia October 13, 2010

I couldn’t disagree more with Michael Patrick. Not only did he lack logic and facts, he also gave the notion that gay people should stay in the closet rather than come out and just be themselves. While...

Let’s keep it classy, Capstone

Letter to the Editor October 12, 2010

On Saturday night, my friends and I arrived at Allen Bales Theatre and stood at the back of the line for admission to Guerilla Theatre. The show wasn’t starting for another hour, and the doors were not...

‘Heteronormative’ culture a faulty goal

Letter to the Editor October 7, 2010

Michael Patrick’s article in the Thursday CW left my jaw hanging. I thought I would go through life without hearing gay teen suicide blamed on public figures being too gay. I was mistaken. The “heteronormative”...
