OPINION: Halloween is not for judging women

Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday. I love zombies. I love candy corn. It falls during what might be the most pleasant-weathered month of the calendar year, and it gives me a reason to buy the obscene amounts of fake blood I pine for the other 365 days.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Response to Emma Watson

Main idea: Though I agree with Emma Watson, a certain understanding of feminism can lead to a breakdown of the wait 'til marriage before having sex rule, which hurts our ability to have a long-term, fulfilling, committed love relationships. I'm not backlashing against the movement for sure; I'm in favor of it. I do believe that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities, and therefore, I am a feminist.

Soil Judging Team takes home regional championship

Soil is never just dirt, and the Soil Judging Team will be the first to vouch for that. Last week, the team sent seven students to the regional soil judging competition in Clemson, South Carolina. After three days of practice judging and a day of serious competing, Auburn was declared the regional champion out of 12 universities Oct. 9.

Formula electric team designs futuristic race car

The way Calvin Wagner tells it, cars of the future won't run primarily on gas. They'll mostly be hybrids or entirely electric.

OPINION: No-Shave November for charity

As the temperature drops, the amount of clothing increases. Thicker socks, longer pants, warmer tops, bulky sweaters, fingerless gloves, which I still don't understand, and hats are all fashion pieces that could make a statement but also serve the purpose of keeping us warm.

OPINION: One is not the loneliest number

You won't learn your most important rhyme in nursery school. Ring before spring is the gold standard for many college men and women. There is a massive push to be married by the time the college years are over. People seem to be getting engaged left and right. Slow down, everyone.

Nathan Coker Band speaks in soul

Nathan Coker, senior in fine arts, strummed his guitar as music blasted from the amplifier behind him. Coker is the namesake of The Nathan Coker Band, a local music group. Though the band has been together for less than a year, its members want to see where the band goes.

OPINION: Auburn game day gets casual

On any given Saturday in the South, you will find SEC schools coming together to cheer on their teams. Georgia in red, Vanderbilt in black and, most importantly, Auburn donning orange and blue. The Plains become filled with Tiger fans young and old sporting their team's colors from head to toe.
