      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eagle staffers have a tendency to measure their semesters in issues. Right now, we&#8217;re heading into the seventh one of the year&#8212;putting us, apparently, somewhere in the fifth week of classes. It&#8217;s amazing how fast the year is moving. I suppose then, it&#8217;s about time I start updating the recently-unveiled &#8220;We Have Issues&#8221; blog. This is, essentially, a place for me, the editor in chief, to talk about all-things-Eagle. I&#8217;m here to respond to your questions, concerns, frustrations&#8212;what have you. </p>

<p>This past issue, we brought back the wildly popular (and often, wildly inappropriate) <a href="http://www.theeagleonline.com/opinion/story/eagle-rants1">Eagle Rants</a> feature. For anyone who is unfamiliar with Eagle Rants,&nbsp; it is basically an outlet for our readers to anonymously submit the things that irk them. In this issue, we&#8217;ve had a whole bunch of allusions to the infamous Kayne West interruption, as well as some interesting declarations of love, pleas for more attractive people on AU&#8217;s campus and a few stabs at the Student Government (sorry, guys). </p>

<p>Of course, along with creating a place for people to complain anonymously with hopes of seeing one&#8217;s rants in print, we have also, apparently, created an avenue for a handful of people who rant about how much they hate The Eagle. I&#8217;m not at all opposed to criticism, trust me&#8212;but I&#8217;d love to turn those rants about our shortcomings into something productive. So please, if you have real criticisms about the paper, our content or anything Eagle-related, I really (honestly) encourage you to bring them to me. I&#8217;d be happy to talk to anyone about what they think we can do better. That&#8217;s part of the reason why this blog exists. </p>

<p>So please, reconsider ranting if you have a real concern or criticism regarding The Eagle and send them my way . Of course, if you like what we&#8217;re doing, I&#8217;d also love to hear from you. I plan on addressing our readers&#8217; concerns through this blog, so give me your worst. Understand that we&#8217;re students, just like most of you&#8212;we&#8217;re prone to making mistakes. Your suggestions can make a serious difference in how we do things over here, so please keep them coming.
