Thursday, November 19, 2020
Hi. Here's the news.
This weekend’s game against Kentucky will mark the first home game since student ticket transfers were barred by the University. UA faculty are drained by doing school in a pandemic. Tuscaloosa might be higher than you think on the list of COVID-19 vaccine distribution priorities.

If you need a ridiculous comedy to take your mind off, well, everything over the holidays, we have a suggestion. This UK-born Netflix show is a surefire way to inject a little nostalgia and lightheartedness into your binge-watching schedule.

What are these new vaccines? How will they work? How did they get developed so quickly? We answered some of your pressing vaccination questions and found out where the University falls on the list of nationwide vaccination priorities.

After price-gouging took over the Alabama Student Ticket Exchange, the University shut down ticket transfers. While students selling their tickets for upwards of $400 was never the game plan, UA's vice president for student life says it was an opportunity to reevaluate.

The best thing students can do to survive this school year is communicate. The instructors and professors who already struggle to get to know students in their classes are now faced with an even taller task: getting to know them through a screen.

The fall season ended for UA volleyball on Monday. The team put up a fight in back-to-back matches against LSU, but only managed to pull off a split.
Here are the off-campus goings-on:
  • The University’s own Kira Lewis was drafted by the New Orleans Pelicans Wednesday night. Lewis was the No. 13 overall pick and third Southeastern Conference player to be drafted.
  • Thanksgiving is just seven short days away. As students head home to see family and eat copious amounts of seasonal food, read about how these two Cornell students celebrate the holiday with an infusion of their own cultures.
  • “Wonder Woman 1984,” the sequel to Patty Jenkins’ 2017 film, will arrive on Christmas Day this year, both on the big screen and on HBO Max, as the service announced Wednesday.

Maria Corazon Cojuangco Aquino broke up Ferdinand Marcos’ monopolies, leading to an increase in economic growth in the years following her election. She created free secondary schooling for the Philippines and even led the country through three natural disasters—an earthquake in 1990, a super typhoon in 1991 and the eruption of Mount Pinatubo later that year. While her time as the president of the Philippines was not perfect, she was able to remove an extremely corrupt dictator from power and help move the Philippines forward.
