With protests for racial justice taking place in over 400 cities across the country, it is time for people unaffected by prejudice to stand with their brothers and sisters.
Auburn's SGA and several other prominent organizations have published a letter calling for racial justice, education and tough conversations. It's up to everyone to put these ideals into action.
Auburn Mayor Ron Anders: "Through all of this, I know our future is bright. I know that because of how Auburn people have responded to this crisis with the caring hearts, sound minds and brave spirits that I have always known them to have."
John Atkinson, East Alabama Medical Center's public relations and marketing director, explains the math behind social distancing and why Alabamians must do everything they can to prevent hospitals from becoming overwhelmed because of COVID-19.
To the thousands of food delivery people, truck drivers and grocery store employees who have kept essential goods flowing, thank you. Whether it's bringing pizza to people stuck inside or restocking shelves of bread, milk and toilet paper, these people are continually risking their health to do their job.
As we practice social distancing, check in with friends. Call and Zoom them. Reach out to professionals when you need to, and reach out to the people you love when you can.
As a community, as a family, we all need to make sacrifices. We all need to stay home. Now is the time to socially distance ourselves and help save lives.
Even though it’s less than that of the mayor’s, it still could potentially produce an increase in diversity in the applicant pool. These proposed salary increases have the power to relieve elected officials economic stress of balancing a full-time job and focusing on city government.
There is no place for this in any institution of higher education and certainly not Auburn. Auburn enjoys its reputation as “the loveliest village on the plains,” and that’s not by accident or without strong institutional respect for others.
No one should die because they can’t pay. No one should avoid the doctor because they’re afraid they’ll be head-high in debt.
We, the Plainsman editorial board, not only stand behind those who voiced their concerns, but we stand behind the efforts to stop the quarry from being built.
Flowers and chocolate, fancy clothes and dinner gourmet. As a reminder that someone loves you much, much more, on this one specific day.
So, when Jane Fonda had that envelope in her hand and announced “Parasite” as the winner, there’s a reason why the Dolby Theater exploded into an excitement rarely ever heard at this type of awards show. For once, the Oscars actually got it right.
The message of Valentine's Day about showing your love for others is sweet. Even if you don't have a special someone to curl up next to at your local watering hole of choice this Friday, you can still enjoy the day, and with it falling on a Friday, the weekend as well.
Though Valentine's day is an annual holiday designed to acknowledge the admiration of one's love and friendship for another, every day should be filled with warmth and affection towards one another more than one day out the year.
As college students, we’re prone to making mistakes. It’s part of growing up, but drinking and driving isn’t the same as oversleeping for a class or tripping on the sidewalk outside of Skybar. Don’t let someone say, “it’s not that big of a deal.”
This past Saturday’s game between the No. 17 Auburn Tigers and the No. 13 Kentucky Wildcats was one of the most highly anticipated games in the history of Auburn basketball. With College GameDay coming to Auburn for the first time in the program’s history, the hype surrounding this game reached another level entirely. While the game itself lived up to the hype, the 12-15 hours that some fans experienced before the game did not come close.
Gameday’s arrival last weekend was something that fans should recognize its impact for Auburn, just like how they should not take the rise of Auburn basketball for granted. It was just a few short years ago when Auburn could only dream about having a nationally televised game or making the NCAA tournament.
