Several students, along with the school band, will represent UNA in Montgomery at the city's largest annual advocacy rally for Higher Education Day on March 4. Fourteen four-year universities will join UNA on Thursday to fight legislators for teacher salaries, college expenses and lower tuition.
When I heard that students were going to be ticketed for walking across Pine Street without using the designated crosswalks, I asked myself, "Why? Do Florence police really have nothing better to do than ticket students who are simply just trying to make it to class on time?" There have been days where I couldn't find a parking spot anywhere and I had to park somewhere in the Kilby parking lot or on the street with the fraternity houses.
