Sara Falligant | Opelika-Auburn News | Twitter Auburn University launched its new collegiate car tag this month, which was designed based on input from Alabama Auburn graduates. The tag features the interlocking AU logo on the left—the original AU vanity tag featured Samford Hall, but was changed to the interlocking AU in 1992—a blue stripe at the bottom with “Auburn” in white and “Alabama” at the top in an orange stripe.

State law requires collegiate tag designs be changed every five years. “This past year, we did a survey of our in-state alumni,” explained Debbie Shaw, Ph.D., vice president of alumni affairs. “Our university communications office designed several choices. …We just decided to let our ...

AUBURN, Alabama -- Once catering to high-temperature days spent carelessly drifting along the lazy river or shooting at high speeds down the body flumes, Auburn's Surfside Water Park now sits stagnant as nothing more than a set of abandoned structures that have some Auburn residents concerned for its future. "The abandoned water park is an eyesore and a public nuisance, and it's shameful that the city shows so little concern about the appearance of the southern entrance to the Loveliest Village," said John Varner, who has lived in the area since 1977. According to revenue office records, the park on Highway29/South College Street closed in July 2012. Not only does Varner consider its remains a public nuisance and an eyesore, but he also said it is a breeding ground for pests, a venue fo...

Sara Falligant | Opelika-Auburn News | Twitter Spotlights danced over East University Drive Tuesday to announce the grand opening of Auburn’s Carmike Wynnsong 14 BigD auditorium.
