From the Daily: Academic honor
After years of having a code of non-academic student conduct, the University may soon consider another type of code. But unlike the current Code of Student Conduct, the new one would deal with the academic side of this academic institution. Led by Engineering junior Patrick Guffey, many students are moving toward setting a Universitywide honor code for student academic conduct.
Degrees of diversity
With the death of former Alabama Gov. George Wallace, one powerful lingering memory of racism in the South has left. And as Wallace replaced his segregated agenda with a strong stance on equality late in life, so is the University of Alabama at Birmingham taking great strides to erase the image of Wallace blocking the entrance of two black students into its sister institution, the University of Alabama's Tuscaloosa campus.
Letters to the Editor
Open letters: poor organization and free-oating hostility
I love the idea of the open letter. It's probably because I have a lot of pent-up anger. The open letter is such an elegant way to say things.
Say you have a beef with a professor. You write him a letter saying that you think you should have gotten a better a grade on your last paper and that he's a total butthead. He'll read it, over cognac and cigars in his office, show it to his colleagues, and then give it to a grad student to burn in the basement of the LSA building.
