OPINION: The importance of waiting until you're willing

By Allison Phillips | Opinion Editor | October 21

When you get a pet, you are taking responsibility for another living being. You need to be in a place where you can, and want to make the pet a top priority.

OPINION: Support all members of the Auburn Family

By Emily Enfinger | Photo Editor | October 21

Although we are a student media group that is supported by the University, we are not here to act as it's PR. We are here to learn and become credible journalists who do their job and tell the truth. We are not here to entertain you. We are here to inform you of the news. Auburn fans should take pride in the fact that there are many groups and organizations on campus that help students reach their fullest potential in their study of interest by providing opportunities to practice and learn. They should support those students, because they are just as much of a representation of the University as any athlete.

OPINION: In defense of Khaki shorts

By Evan McCullers | Assistant Sports Editor | October 9

No matter what look you’re going for, khaki shorts are a good foundation to build an outfit around.

OPINION: RBD is more than a study location

By Elizabeth Tiller | Online Editor | September 29

Most people go to the library to study with friends, or because the 4th floor keeps them more focused than they would be elsewhere. I use the library for studying the majority of the time, but I also use RBD for its archives and extensive book collection.

By Evan McCullers | Assistant Sports Editor | September 26

Auburn has no shortage of problems, and the Tigers need to find solutions immediately if they hope to avoid a disappointing season.

Opinion: Growth brings many changes not all are for Auburn

September 25

I really didn’t know much about the University, except it had a big football program, and I heard it couldn’t make up its mind about a mascot.

OPINION: Being a fifth year is overrated

By Liz Maddux | Community Writer | September 25

How many times has someone said to you, “Stay in college as long as possible?” It is a phrase I heard over and over again my first four years in college.

OPINION: Turtle Time

By Eric Kim | Assistant Copy Editor | September 4

There has been a time in my life where I have questioned what it truly is to be generous. To act in complete selflessness for someone or something, in this case, a noble cause.

OPINION: Being a double major is worth the hassle

By Elizabeth Tiller | Online Editor | August 30

Majoring in more than one subject is not for everyone, but if there are multiple things you are passionate about I would advise you to go for it.

OPINION: Staying sane in an insane world

By Emily Esleck | Intrigue Editor | August 28

For many of us college students, we don't necessarily know who we are yet. You would think 21 or 22 years would be enough to figure it out.

Voting is a privilege we should respect

By Elizabeth Tiller | Online Editor | July 6

My father taught me it is the job of every U.S. citizen to vote, and that is a belief I carried with me when I decided to vote here at Auburn.

Go global to gain new perspectives on life

By Maria McIlwain | News Editor | June 21

There was something strange about the spaghetti. It was spicy. I later found out this was because of the hot sauce and cilantro. But perhaps the strangest thing was the tortillas the spaghetti was served with.

OPINION: Falling behind, spring sports leads the way for Athletics

By Evan McCullers | Sports Writer | June 19

Football has long been the primary sport at Auburn and at other schools throughout the Southeast, but occasionally other sports step up and steal the spotlight. That is exactly what happened at Auburn in the 2014-15 athletic year. However, football wasn’t the only sport to struggle.

Pressures of tradition in the Bible Belt

By Emily Enfinger | Photo Editor | April 20

Over the past few years, my Facebook newsfeed has evolved rapidly into a catchall of my peers’ engagements, wedding announcements, babies, “My boyfriend will be the best husband,” anniversaries and kitschy seasonal couple photos.

OPINION: Rank didn’t influence my school choice

By Tracy Awino | Campus Reporter | April 15

I would say most people who were looking to attend college looked at a website’s ranking of the universities at least once.

OPINION: Who’s the fairest of them all?

OPINION: We need a weekend transit system

By Tracy Awino | Campus Reporter | March 17

It’s Saturday morning, and I couldn’t be happier that the weekend is finally here. I would love to go visit my friend who lives off campus for maybe a movie day, catch up on how our weeks went, laugh a little about our awkward college experiences, but wait.

OPINION: Rodeo safety takes a step back

By Eric Wallace | Sports Writer | March 17

Everyone knows music plays second fiddle at Rodeo. Even if Alpha Psi managed to land Willie Nelson or resurrect Johnny Cash, the opportunity to spend a day in the sun drinking with hundreds of friends would still take precedence.

OPINION: New scoreboard might be unnecessary

By Sam Butler | Sports Writer | March 13

If you’ve walked, driven or otherwise passed by anywhere near Jordan-Hare Stadium during the past week or so, you’ve noticed the new construction zone on Heisman Drive that’s been set up for the workers who will be putting up the new video board on the south end zone. The reported size of 190-feet-by-57-feet will make this scoreboard the largest in college football. This new board will be massive.
