Barely into his first term in office, a young, energetic, Democratic president made a decision that would revolutionize the way Americans would think about space travel forever. When President John F....

R.I.P., dear R.I.S.C.- A Eulogy for the Rotary House

Letter to the Editor February 18, 2010

On the east end of the UA campus where University Boulevard meets Fraternity Row, there once stood a beautiful two-story brick house: the Rotary House. It is now a mere memory. The demolition crew that...

Fixing Birmingham: an outsider’s perspective

Letter to the Editor February 16, 2010

As a UA student from far-off, thriving, bingo-loving Dothan, Birmingham’s political and economic health was never really on my radar until I started dating a girl who was born and raised there. Even...

CrimsonRide drivers need our support

Letter to the Editor February 14, 2010

There is a struggle for economic justice going on right here at the UA campus, and it deserves our support. The drivers of our Crimson Ride buses are being short-changed and mistreated by First Transit....

DO repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”

Jonathan Reed’s article decrying secessionist comments made by two Texas gubernatorial candidates was one of the most misguided things I have ever read in The Crimson White. While the author waffled...

Gays pose no threat to military

Letter to the Editor February 11, 2010

“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” is, as Ashlie Bowman so intuitively pointed out to us, the most “proven and effective solution for the current situation.” I completely agree. In order for us to allow...

Secession talks not what they seem

Letter to the Editor February 9, 2010

As an out-of-state student who hails from Texas, I knew almost immediately what Jonathan Reed’s article was about when I saw the word “secession” in the headline. Naturally intrigued by something...

NASA far from dead

Letter to the Editor February 7, 2010

I applaud Will Tucker’s enthusiasm for NASA and space exploration. It is my passion, and it excites me when it ends up in the forefront of people’s discussion. More people talking about space translates...

Repealing “don’t ask, don’t tell” won’t hurt military

Letter to the Editor February 7, 2010

I am a believer in everyone’s right to have their own opinions, but I find it offensive when people who have zero military background ramble on about things they know nothing about. I know my opinion...

Rodgers library food policy is ridiculous

Letter to the Editor February 5, 2010

Nearly every day, I enjoy a bagel in the designated student “lounge” before I start studying at Rodgers Library. Before I could take a bite Thursday, someone on staff told me that food from home was...
