EDITORIAL: Speak up to end the stigma

By Editorial Staff | Fall 2015 | November 12

But there’s still a stigma that surrounds these conditions and it will remain there until we start talking, openly and honestly, about them.

Column: Use the media to your advantage

By Emily Shoffit | Sports Editor | November 11

This week, a video of anti-racism demonstrators angrily denouncing journalists surfaced and went viral. Photographer Tim Tai, a Missouri student freelancing for ESPN, was trying to document the happenings on campus when demonstrators and administrators used "some muscle" to prevent Tai from doing his job. "I have a job to do," Tai told protestors.

OPINION: Leave the scrunchie alone

By Corey Williams | Campus Editor | November 9

This is it. The moment all fans of the Olsen twins, Olympic gymnastics and dent-free hair have waited for. Scrunchies are back.

Opinion: ​The little things count the most

By Claire Tully | Campus Writer | November 9

For many of us, nearly every important memory in our lives has had something to do with our parents. However, it’s important to note the roles they played in the moments of our life that seem so insignificant in the grand scheme of things. We forget about the little things they did for us like take us to the pumpkin patch each autumn, going to all of our little league games, making brownies for the bake sale at school we forgot to mention and just generally being our number one cheerleaders.

OPINION: In defense of cargo shorts

OPINION: Life after graduation

Graduation is approaching and for many people this is a wondrous occasion. Many students have a pretty clear idea on what they are going to do after school and already have work lined up.

OPINION: Bama boys are not that bad

By Anne Dawson | Community Reporter | November 2

Ever since I can remember, the Auburn/Alabama rivalry has been a big deal. When I was as young as five, my school would have team dress up days where each kid showed off their spirit for the team they cheered for- most every kid wore the orange and blue or crimson and white combos.

EDITORIAL: Victim blaming is not okay

By Editorial Staff | Fall 2015 | October 30

Females are constantly advised not to drink too much or to go places alone, particularly after dark, because “someone might take advantage of you.” If a girl wears what could be considered revealing clothing, then automatically, “she was asking for it.” Even if a woman is wearing revealing clothing or walking alone at night, it is disturbing that in today’s times, women are often advised to take precautions that males aren’t, because if they don’t then some people believe it’s partially their fault if they become a victim of sexual assault.

OPINION: Class registration's unpredictability is not fair

By Claire Tully | Campus Writer | October 28

Some of us are on multiple wait lists, while some of us are forced to take electives or classes we aren’t interested in. The question that constantly runs through my mind regarding this process, is why is there so much uncertainty with our schedules and with our graduation dates?

OPINION: Gender stereotypes are only harming ourselves

By Ellen Jackson | Photographer | October 27

For as long as I can remember there have been unwritten rules we must follow in order to not appear different. In America, any differences from the norm are seen as weakness, not strength. And unfortunately, the ultimate judgment people get for being unique actually comes from our peers.

EDITORIAL: Better ways to balance the budget

By Editorial Staff | Fall 2015 | October 23

We understand the necessity of balancing the state budget and realize that it is not easy to make cuts. However, closing DMV offices, regardless of which county they were located in, should have never been an option. There are too many other areas in which budget cuts could’ve been made that would’ve produced a better result financially.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Response to Auburn needs more mental health counselors

October 23

More Auburn students than we realize experience mental health-related issues such as chronic anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts and eating disorders, to name a few.
