October Ed Desk
Happy Halloween Comets! We here at AMP would like to discuss some of the scariest and spookiest things that happened last month. Starting off: the 2021 Met Gala; the horrors were truly endless. There was poor fashion choices and badly timed, poorly attempted political statements. The theme was American Fashion, and somehow the crowd of […]

Welcome back comets! We at AMP have dearly missed throwing out our unassailable opinions and hearing laughter all over campus from our witty satirical pieces.

December Ed Desk: Holy God the Mother, Batman!
We’ve written before about Senate Bill 18, the piece of Texas legislation that allows outside groups to come and hold events in public spaces on campus.
