When I was 16 years old and at summer camp, I bunked with an Israeli Jew named Shimœn. We spent three weeks with about eighty other youth in southern Virginia. I was surprised to learn how westernized he was, listening to my genre of music, wearing jeans and T-shirts, speaking English with only a slight accent. Now, years later, I can only wonder where Shimœn is. My thoughts run to the possibilities: Is he in the Israeli army? Has he killed with an M-16? Was he killed by a bomb? Is he still the open-minded and energetic young Jewish man I once knew? I wonder if I found him, could we still laugh the way we did? Surely life would have changed him, as it has me. But need that be in a pejorative manner? Why couldn’t we have lunch together in Tel Aviv, looking out to the Mediterranean and reminiscing?

CAIRO — While studying in Ankara last summer, I lived with a Turkish family named the Özkurts. They welcomed me with incredible kindness.

She said she considered me her newest son. I was flattered, if a bit skeptical and disbelieving.

For the first time in a long time, The Eagle actually did something all everyone seemed to like. Our top headline for the Feb. 1 issue "Frat faces IFC allegations" struck a chord with the AU community, propelling our online readership to heights not seen since the Handverger impeachment trial of '09. Not only that, but by 3 p.m. Monday all copies of The Eagle were gone from the Mary Graydon Center, forcing Eagle staffers to refill the stands with papers from less visited areas. Reports have it that the library ran out sometime Tuesday. The fraternity story was so popular that it beat out both Eagle Rants and Alex Knepper's latest column for most-read story, garnering nearly 800 unique views in only two days. Rants trailed with 426 views and Knepper rounded out the top three with approximately 400 unique views.
