At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $15,500 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back. The university uploaded a video of the annual tradition of freshmen painting the “A” on “A” Mountain white, and sure enough, the spot where the freshmen pick up the paint gives them the warning to not drink it. Sure, the paint’s in little paper cups, and maybe the kids are itching for some water. That doesn’t mean there’s not some humor in telling supposedly college-ready youngsters to not drink paint. It looks like the sign may not have gotten through to everyone, though: Send feedback and tips to the author. Follow Matthew Hendley on Twitter at @MatthewHendley.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
