Higher education costs no match for value of college degree
(05/17/12 10:00am)
While I am pleased the editorial board of the Auburn Plainsman has finally addressed an important issue and an ongoing national debate about higher education, it is disconcerting that our esteemed newspaper made the simplistic charge that "college education is not the answer for everyone" because of its high costs and diminishing returns, i.e., "school is more expensive than ever before" and "[t]here are fewer jobs for graduates than there's been in our entire lives."

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.
Employee point system to purchase tickets needs change
(04/19/12 10:00am)
When I was going through the spring ritual of ordering faculty and staff season football games for the 25th consecutive year recently, I was chagrined to discover that for the first time I was not allowed the opportunity to purchase a ticket to the Alabama game. Though a phone call to the ticket office did not satisfactorily explain how I'd had enough points to purchase tickets every year in the past, I have since learned the cut off for being offered the option was now 125 points, and I have only 122.
