As a graduating senior applying to graduate schools outside of the United States, I’ve been hit pretty hard by the sharp increase in transcript fees. The fee to send a transcript to an international address from the University is the standard $8 charge plus an additional $80 fee for shipping. Simply sending my transcript to [...]
Parts of Adam Carlson’s ”Athens in review” article made me laugh, but his rant about Ciné left me itching to respond ["Athens in Review," Jan. 15]. Ciné’s mission is to offer Athens audiences, and students in particular, an alternative to the multiplex and the opportunity to see specialty, art, classic and foreign films that would otherwise never [...]
An alumnus’ tribute to the Fink legacy Note: I graduated in 2009, after taking four Fink classes. I’ve since become a writer at Golfweek magazine. Fink always knew I could be. Rest in peace, Fink. Thank you for being so charming and demanding and encouraging. Thank you for sitting down with me in 2004, [...]

Who actually got tickets to the SEC Championship? As on of the many graduating seniors who didn’t receive a ticket to the SEC championship game, I am curious to know how many tickets UGA received, and how many of them actually went to students. It would be great to have real information about where the [...]
Unfair ticketing process for SEC Championship Game I’m writing in regards to the unfair ticket distribution of the SEC Championship game towards UGA seniors. It’s a heartbreaking story for seniors who are graduating this year but are still deprived of cheering their Dawgs one last time at the Georgia Dome due to unfair conditions [...]
Headline in female boxer story misleads I am writing in reference to the article “Boxers call proposed skirts a ‘regression’” that was published in the Nov. 10 issue of The Red & Black. The article nicely represented the issue of the potential dress code for women’s boxers which is being proposed by the Amateur [...]
