Growing up in the Deep South as a Democrat, I've learned how important it is to respect views that oppose mine. I do respect them; if someone has good backing for why they believe a certain way then that's fine--we all have different backgrounds, personalities and religious beliefs.
The Plainsman is a place where students can go for everything Auburn, but it doesn't always feel that way.

Beginning in the 1960s, the second wave of feminism roused society to confront issues of gender equality that had been left unresolved since the first wave at the turn of the century. Women were considered equal in terms of voting rights, yet there was an obvious disparity in wages between the sexes.
As students, we always joke about how irrelevant classes are for our everyday lives. After all, we have calculators for math problems, dictionaries for English questions and Google for virtually anything else. Is it possible that we are retaining some information from our classes and actually using it every day? If so, is this intelligence making us socially awkward?

Have you heard about this kid Trayvon Martin?
I am graduating in May, and I've begun thinking about moving back home, looking for a job, and how my parents are going to kind of be all on my back about it. So I got to thinking about their job search after they graduated in the early 1980s and how their experience may have been.
There are times like these when I believe Auburn University lives inside a little bubble thinking the world revolves around a conservative small town that is only affected by crimes like tree poisonings and point shaving, and leaves the rest of the world to deal with its own issues.

I'll admit it--I bought a midnight ticket to see "The Hunger Games" tonight. I took my fandom a step further than those of you going to see it here in Auburn. My sister and I bought tickets in Columbus, which means we get to see the movie a whole hour earlier. Yes, we are really that excited.
Innocent until proven guilty has become almost as outdated as the geocentric model.
Mike Daisey told the world he went to China, and I believe him. He told the world he stood at the gates of Foxconn, the factory where Apple products are made, and I believe him.
Tyler Clementi decided to take his own life after being filmed being romantically involved with another man by his Rutgers University roommate Dahrun Ravi. He jumped from the George Washington Bridge on Sept. 22, 2010.
Oh, Twitter. I love almost everything about it. I love its quick bits of witty jokes in 140 characters or less, and I love how I feel like I'm best friends with of all my favorite comedians and celebrities. But there are just some things I can't get behind. It's not Twitter's fault, but it might be yours.
