October 18, 2017 by Alle Roley

A nation divided by kneeling and song

October 11, 2017 by Alle Roley

Last football season, former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick knelt while the national anthem played before a game. He stated afterward that his intentions were to demonstrate solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and protest police brutality in our country. The after-effects of Kaepernick’s actions have been exponential, with teams across major league sports deciding to also “take a knee,” President Trump and Vice President Pence condemning the actions and fans … [Read more...]

Hurricanes disproportionally impact the poor

September 13, 2017 by Alle Roley

It’s impossible to turn on the news without hearing reports of category four Hurricane Harvey’s recent path of destruction through the south or, even more recently, the landfall of Hurricane Irma through Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Now, people are preparing for yet another–Hurricane Jose–to make landfall. The devastation caused by these storms is evident to all, but it’s often not considered how differently they affect those of lower socioeconomic status. Dr. Reedy-Strother explains … [Read more...]

Dr. Allen reflects on Trump’s first month

March 2, 2017 by Alle Roley

Because of the lengthy process of legislative efforts, executive orders are common during the first few months of a new presidency. Trump has taken advantage of his executive order privilege in several ways.

Yo! Bowl debut dismal, AUFS scrambles to improve

January 26, 2017 by Alle Roley

Healthy and diverse meal options are commonly cited as one of the things students value most on their college campus. Most students do not expect the cafeteria to create an exact replication of mom’s home cooking, but they do expect to be provided with nutritious, good-tasting food. This year, AU Food Services introduced the Student Choice program, letting students decide the menu of the second dining option in the Haven. Chick-fil-A has remained constant throughout the years, but the second … [Read more...]
