I've talked a lot about putting yourself out there and not being afraid to make a move. But what about the people who are looking for something more than just a booty call? What about finding that special someone with whom you have an inexplicable bond? How in the world is it possible to go about finding your one true love?

One of the Student Government's foremost policy initiatives this year is to see the adoption of an African American studies program in the College of Arts & Sciences. As a community that values, seeks and affirms diversity, AU must look beyond solely programming for the many cultures we celebrate on campus. We must pursue the creation of academic paths for the study and research of racial and ethnic minorities.

Look, America needs change, and AU is on the vanguard of this change. This university has brought hope to its students for the future of their education and their own futures.

Below are the statements read at last night's debate between the College Republicans and College Democrats. The Eagle chose not to edit them for content or style and reproduced them on this page exactly as submitted. The views expressed are those of the respective organization and do not represent The Eagle's views.
Despite Eco-Sense's efforts to make the campus 'greener,' AU received a B- from The College Sustainability Report Card in its 2009 evaluation.
AU Public Safety has requested the community's help in identifying suspects in the aftermath of sexual and violent crimes against AU students walking in areas off campus.
The Eagle recently editorialized on appearances that crime had increased on and around AU's campus. At that time, Public Safety attributed the increase in crime to more comprehensive Cleary Act-mandated crime reporting as opposed to an actual increase in crime. While the events of the past week do not completely undermine that conclusion, they are enough to give AU students pause. Among the usual transports and robberies reported in this week's police blotter were a few more serious incidents. One involved an AU student who was sexually assaulted on Nebraska Avenue. The other incident involved three students who had a gun pulled on them during an attempted robbery while they were walking back to campus along Nebraska Avenue. An assailant pulled the gun's trigger, but fortunately something went wrong and the gun didn't fire. A Homeland Security officer chased the attackers away and the victims did not sustain any injuries. These incidents serve as a necessary reminder that AU is located in a city; a city that, according to crime statistics from the Congressional Quarterly, is one of the most dangerous in America.
This week, The College Sustainability Report Card gave AU a respectable B- in its annual sustainability ratings for nationwide colleges and universities. This year's grade is a dramatic improvement over last year's grade of D-, which reflects hard work and improvement by students, administrators, faculty and staff alike. Congratulations for the university community are in order!
Bon Appetit, the catering firm in charge of the Terrace Dining Room, is gearing up for its annual Eat Local Challenge. It challenges TDR staff to cook foods with ingredients grown and produced within a 150-mile radius of AU's campus. TDR chefs and staff will travel around the area to procure provisions for their own recipes, which they will present on Sept. 30.
Students, resident assistants and Housing and Dining employees crowded Centennial Hall's first floor lounge for the brief ceremony, which gave residents the opportunity to hear about the renovation process from many of the individuals who helped plan the changes.

AU created the Department of Environmental Science as a separate program from the Department of Biology this year and is working to increase the program's curriculum offerings. The move comes as other schools nationwide have started to strengthen their environmental programs because of increased interest in the green energy field.
