We are called the “United States” because all our states are united in the belief that all are created equal and deserve equal treatment under the law regardless of religion, ethnicity or economic advantage. In a democracy, the title “citizen” is higher than that of president, in part, because the president works for us.
On Nov. 7, thousands of Alabamians voted in their perceived self-interests and against their real self-interests as they have done so many times before.
From David Housel:
Midterms are finally starting to finish and the semester is ramping up for the home stretch. Just as midterms are ending, SGA is starting to look to the next term of office for elected leadership in the executive and representative branches.

War Eagle!
I still can’t believe that my four years at Auburn are coming to an end.
Reverse racism is a term that I have been seeing a lot lately. In the midst of the #BlackLivesMatter movement, many white people have been defending the fact that they want the movement to just go away by saying (or tweeting) things like, “A black kid from my high school got a scholarship and I didn’t ... racism, man.”
Dear Auburn Family,

Auburn University suicide rates are triple what they are expected to be with a student population of approximately 25,000. Many students are not receiving the help they deserve, and this is for a couple reasons.
Based on the advertisements my friends and I were inundated with, our new scoreboard was financed by Regions, and Built Ford Tough out of Yellawood with some steel from Hyundai.
Kenneth Noe and Jay Hinton are both people who have background knowledge and opinions on the Confederate battle flag that I am interested to hear.
In January, U.S. District Judge Callie V.S. Granade invalidated Alabama’s bans on same-sex marriage, holding that they violated the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Firstly, I’d like to commend the city on a job well done in the planning of and for this summer’s downtown construction.
It is not surprising that someone in the Auburn area was making and distributing
On behalf of my students, the Glomerata staff, I would like to clarify many points made in your editorial “We Should Get What We Pay For.” I write for my students because you brazenly mischaracterized their work without understanding the issue you raise, at all.For one, you list the wrong distribution dates; but that’s inconsequential. In the future, though, listing correct dates and times is suggested.More egregious is your cavalier narration of scanning Tiger Cards. We deliberately scanned Tiger Cards to ensure only students received copies. What you failed to discover (because you did not ask) was that many of the scanners malfunctioned. If you had performed thorough research, you would have learned that, post-malfunction, we still asked students to show us their Tiger Card. Indeed, we wrote down numbers on legal pads.In short, we made every effort to ensure that the 7,500 copies ended up in correct hands. To insinuate otherwise is careless. To boot, The Plainsman does not have to stand in the sun for 7 hours passing out heavy books to students, so you should be less incendiary in your complaint since you have not lived the process.Last, you imply that the Glomerata staff intentionally jilted seniors by running out early. We ran out early because we only had 7,500 copies. We do not arbitrarily select the number of copies. We order what we can based on the budget provided by the SGA Senate. If your concern was altruistic, then your target should be SGA.
We call it the Auburn Family. Do we realize that our family is suffering? Do we realize we are allowing our family to go hungry?
The treatment of the article you wrote about Ms. Wright’s sexual harassment case was completely inappropriate. It is evident that you have not had any training or education in the correct way to discuss and approach the extremely sensitive subject of sexual harassment, assault or misconduct. First of all, you featured a nearly half-page photograph depicting an uncomfortable scene of unbalanced power between a man and woman ON THE FRONT PAGE of the paper. Not only did you have no regard for how this may affect or trigger survivors of any type of sexual misconduct, but within your title or the article itself you listed no trigger warning for the topics you discussed. Additionally, the language you chose to use in your article was condescending and nearly accusatory where it needed to be supportive and accepting. The correct term to use is not victim, but survivor, as it is our jobs as humans and advocates for the respectful treatment of other humans to empower those who have survived such intense mistreatment. Additionally, you referred to the perpetrator of sexual misconduct crimes as simply the student. I cannot wholly blame you for your ignorance on the subject, as Auburn University and the community of Auburn is on the whole extremely uneducated and misinformed about many of the issues, misnomers and stigmas concerning sexual assault. I do blame you for not doing proper research before publishing this article. You may have unknowingly caused survivors to be triggered back to their experiences. I strongly encourage you, your staff and the rest of the Auburn community to GET INFORMED about being a more survivor-supportive campus and community. I also urge the students at Auburn to reject rape culture and the stigmas and stereotypes that surround it.
I was disappointed in Saturday's concert, not because of the music, but how it was organized. UPC took the money it has budgeted, money that is supposed to be for Auburn students, and put on a concert that was open to the public.
