Will next year be the end to student body smoking on Alabama’s campus?

Letter to the Editor April 3, 2013

Hear me out, readers. As a young, prospective student touring the grounds of The University of Alabama, you probably noticed the grandeur of the pristine columns highlighting the southern architecture...

Pants, campus attire ‘silly thing to be concerned over’

Elizabeth Lowder April 3, 2013

I believe Kirby Johnson’s strongly written letter to the editor concerning the lack of pants at The University of Alabama comes off as a bit misguided, and in some parts, just plain wrong. As I read...

In defense of pants, dressing for success

Letter to the Editor April 1, 2013

As the weather begins to change and our days become a little longer and a little warmer, I’d like to reach out to all the young women and ask them to keep those jeans on. Now I realize that many of...

In response to Brad Erthal’s column ‘Liberty means birth control coverage’

Letter to the Editor March 20, 2013

Mr. Erthal’s article in Tuesday’s issue is mistaken in his representation of Catholicism. He presents many errors in his column, all of which I cannot address. I will, however, address the following:...

Reflection on our Civil Rights past should inform future decisions on LGBTQ issues

Letter to the Editor March 20, 2013

As The University of Alabama celebrates its 50th anniversary of the desegregation of the school, many events and celebrations regarding civil rights concerns have surfaced. While we must celebrate the...

It’s time to recognize pervasive problem of HIV/AIDS in this country’s women

Students should support Crimson Tide basketball even in NIT

Elizabeth Lowder March 18, 2013

At The University of Alabama, we may be a bit spoiled with winning, especially when it comes to football. You can’t even get to the stadium without stepping across the Walk of Champions or hearing the...

In response to ‘All Catholics deserve better after Pope Benedict XVI’s reign’

Letter to the Editor March 11, 2013

  I am writing in regards to Brad Erthal’s article, “All Catholics deserve better after Pope Benedict XVI’s reign.” He holds that the Catholic Church needs a better pope, one that will change...

We need to be honest, accessible and transparent as campus leaders

Letter to the Editor March 10, 2013

My name is Parker Graham, and I am currently a junior studying chemical engineering here at the Capstone. I am originally from Birmingham, Ala., but have lived in Tuscaloosa ever since I was 2. Yes, I...

We need to meet the needs of the Alabama student we represent

Letter to the Editor March 10, 2013

As a student, the Capstone has given me a new community, a new perspective and a new home. There aren’t many things in life that one can say that about. Because of this, I want to give back and better...

We need to give students a reason to care about their campus government

Letter to the Editor March 10, 2013

If you are like most students, you probably see very little reason to vote tomorrow. During the course of my campaign, I have had the pleasure to speak to many different student organizations across campus...

Catholics truly deserve a principled pope

Letter to the Editor March 10, 2013

Oramus pro Spiritum voluntatem. We pray for the will of the Holy Spirit. After Pope Benedict XVI announced that he would resign on Feb. 11, he said he could almost physically feel the strength of all the...
