Editorial: SGA election bylaws need revision

By Editorial Board | Spring 2016 | February 29

On December 1 every year, SGA candidates participate in Candidate Orientation and take the Election Law Test, thus beginning the short but significant process of becoming a part of Auburn's student government.  After over a month of idleness, campaign preparation begins January 14 and formal campaigning begins February 3. Six days later, voting begins and the creation week of student government winds down to a close, assuming all elections end with winners with majorities.  We implore the SGA to revise the current model of elections in order to increase student voter turnout and to give students a better chance to scope out the candidates' platforms.  But credit must be given where credit is due.

COLUMN: Voting for Sanders is a huge mistake

By Bailey Rogers | Sports Writer | February 17

Bernie Sanders is a self-proclaimed socialist. Do not let those liberals fool you with their go to disclaimer, “No, he is a DEMOCRATIC socialist.” Newsflash, there is almost no difference.

An inside look at living in the SAE fraternity house

By Jonathan Hefner | Sports Writer | January 29

Living in a fraternity house is much like being at an Auburn football game or any college stadium for that matter. Like Jordan-Hare Stadium, my fraternity house could easily be described as beautiful and perhaps inspiring from the outside, but not so much on the inside.
