SERVING THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA SINCE 1894

Dress for Success

5 Our View

7 Heisman hopeful

Some students dress up for fun, some for fashion and some because it’s required for class. One way or another, many UA students end up suiting up before class. Find out why so many people in Bidgood Hall are dressed to the nines.

After an anonymous threat led UAPD to lock down Tutwiler Hall, the University was slow to inform students about the developing situation, and the UA Alerts System was not used.

During a record-setting performance by Amari Cooper against Florida, students began chanting, “Amari for Heisman!” See our list of Heisman hopefuls to see how Cooper stacks up.

Ashtyn Norris had a familiar experience when police searching Tutwiler Hall Sunday night told her and her roommate to stay in their room, lock the door and not to open it for anyone.

Norris’ mother, Angela Gair, said the response from the high . s on school was immediate and widely spread. s r e “Within minutes, I received a text, a phone dp e z i r call, an email and there was something posted o uth on the Facebook page about the school,” Gair a n u said. “This is a public school in Texas, in the or s n Dallas-Fort Worth area.” o eap But when Tutwiler Hall was put on lockdown w no and searched after unconfirmed reports of a d gunman in the area and an anonymous death oun Df P threat was posted on YouTube, The University A U g of Alabama did not send any notification until yin a nearly two hours after the threat was widely s , er. ent posted on social media sites and shared over g n m da te n a text messages.
