Do you know why cowbells couldn't be heard clanging at the game Saturday?

We don't want to think of 9/11 as a divisive moment in American history, but that one event transformed our nation, and with great change comes great tension.
As I sat in Jordan-Hare Saturday, everything in the world felt right again. The band was playing loudly, the team was back on the field and an abundance of fans wearing orange were in attendance.
Other than a few short periods of isolationism in America's history, the United States has generally come to the aid of countries lacking democracy.
I, like many of you, was only in elementary school when 9/11 happened.
Ten dollars doesn't sound like much.
Some things at Auburn are expected. Rolling Toomers after a victory, yelling "War Eagle" at any public event and picking up the Plainsman every Thursday. The Plainsman is a part of what makes Auburn, Auburn.
Dear Editor,I am writing to express my concern over dangerous activities displayed by some of our Auburn students, relative to their walking/biking activities in and around this wonderful campus. We have recently redesigned the Auburn University campus to become a more informal, user friendly "walking campus" with many plazas, walking malls, and concourses. This redesign has had many good points, however it does have one serious drawback.
In college, friends come in many varieties, largely defined by what their purposeis in your life.Some friends are drinking buddies. Similar to vampires, you will neversee these people by the light of day.Others are the friends you keep around for parent visits. You know,the ones with goals and shirts without hunch punch stains.
The oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico illuminates an important, but possibly not well recognized, issue in the Alabama Attorney General race.
Alabama's gubernatorial primaries are fast approaching.Many people in this state don't bother to draw the arrow to theirpreferred candidate or check or X the box (72 percent of eligible votersin the 2006 gubernatorial primaries!).
It's the day of the wedding. The groom smiles as he sees his bride walk down the aisle, and she tears up as her father gives her away. She looks to her groom, then to the priest. But something's different. For this is no ordinary priest, but a metal robot.
State Senator Vivian Figures', D-Mobile, bill to ban smoking in restaurants statewide is close to passing this legislative session.All the bill lacks for complete passage is a vote on the House floor.Figures' bill effectively bans smoking in establishments that derive most of their revenues from food sales and leaves out businesses who garner more of their profits from the sale of alcohol, known to most of us as bars.
I know that time flies when you're having fun, but this is ridiculous. I've been at The Plainsman for almost four months, yet it feels like it's only been a couple of weeks.
Long story short: I regretted coming to Auburn until I joined The Auburn Plainsman.I don't wear Sperrys, and I don't listen to Dave Matthews.I'm from Daytona Beach.
When I read Marcus Goff's guest commentary ('Pro-life' a sad misnomer) in last week's edition of The Auburn Plainsman, I was quite confused.I was at the Students for Life booth the day he talked with some of the students there.
The Alabama Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program began this week, offering rebates to Alabamians choosing to replace their older home appliances with more energy-efficient models.
Have you had a giant catfish offer you free ice cream today?If you fill out a brief survey in the Student Center consisting of approximately 10 questions about catfish, you can receive your tasty treat.Not that the 6-foot bottom-feeder dressed in a sailor's outfit isn't creepy, but using this eerie figure to push individuals to give his (her?
Editor, The Auburn PlainsmanThis letter is in response to "Pro-life a sad misnomer" by Marcus Goff and "Preachers, protesters only upset the willing" by Lindsey Davidson.While I love to see people discussing abortion and the issues that surround it, the arguments in these two articles are poorly thought out.For one, the Students For Life displays on campus last week were not created simply for "shock factor," but were instead meant to raise awareness and start dialogue.One of our main goals was to collect signatures in support of a free day care for students' children.
The Michael Phillips Compassionate Care Act, a bill seeking to legalize medical marijuana in Alabama, passed out of committee this week to return to the floor for a possible vote.While Alabama will probably not pass the bill any further this legislative session, it is no small feat the bill even made it out of committee.
