Red flags sliced the air and cries of “Dorothy, Dorothy, this one is for you” and “What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now!” echoed in the streets outside the Brazilian Consulate Friday afternoon.
As many may be aware, the Israeli Ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, will be speaking on the U.S.-Israeli relationship at AU on April 22. Many may not realize the significance this talk may have, others may be basking in the superficial glory of his political title, others may be further motivated to work towards remedying the stark realities in the region that Oren and the state he represents have an overwhelmingly large hand in.

Senior Steve Dalton had a proposition for Board of Trustees Chairman Gary Abramson and President Neil Kerwin at the town hall meeting Monday.
Three former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gens. Hugh Shelton, Richard Myers and Peter Pace, came together for the first time on stage Monday night at a Kennedy Political Union event.
Board of Trustees Chairman Gary Abramson promised transparency and a better connection between students and administrators at the Board of Trustees dinner last Thursday in the Mudbox of Bender Library.
For the first time in its history, AU’s Board of Trustees held an open dinner in Bender Library’s Mudbox last week. In this admirable display of transparency, students were invited to discuss issues facing AU with the individuals who can actually implement solutions.
The campus-wide discussion about the Clean Energy Revolving Fund referendum brought to light a variety of student opinions regarding environmental policy and sustainability on campus. While the electoral victor was ultimately clear, it was also evident from the responses on the issue that the presence of passionate feelings existed in students both for and against. Preliminary signs suggest that some university group’s consideration of eradicating bottled water use on campus — as opposed to their reasonable efforts to reduce its use — may provoke a similarly polarizing response.
The Office of Sustainability and EcoSense are working to reduce the amount of bottled water used on campus and to encourage the AU community to drink more tap water.
Students reacted positively to the February launch of AU’s branch of the Zimride rideshare program, according to Curtis Rogers, national account manager of Zimride.
It’s happened to all of us. You’re in your room and you think the door is locked. You’re finally getting into the groove and then, bam! Your mother, father or roommate busts into the room and everybody feels very, very embarrassed.
D.C. is working to become more bicycle-friendly as more bicycle lanes are being added to downtown streets.
In my last column, I took a hard look at how our food system is failing our children and how this is contributing to our problem with childhood obesity in America. Tomorrow night, ABC will premiere chef Jamie Oliver’s new television series “Food Revolution.” Throughout the series, Oliver will work to combat this issue in the town of Huntington, W.Va., which was recently named the unhealthiest city in America. I can’t yet speak to the impact his efforts will have, but I support the show for bringing attention to a problem so often overlooked. Oliver chose an avenue where he can best combat it, which is through cooking and food education.
Recently, I had found myself avoiding participating in and even attending interfaith events. The usual dance with the same crowd speaking the same rhetoric had dulled me to a point that I no longer found great benefit in their pursuit. Enter the National Cathedral and its historic Christian-Muslim Summit held there earlier this month.
With 1,204 votes, the Clean Energy Revolving Fund referendum found 66.9 percent of students in favor of raising Student Activity fees by $10 in support of clean energy.

On Tuesday and Wednesday there will be a student election where we’ll get to decide the fate of clean energy at AU. It will be the culmination of a 10-month long process. Last May, I received an interesting e-mail from AU alumnus Marie Stratton. In the e-mail was a link to Macalester College’s Clean Energy Revolving Fund, whose mission is to “encourage global sustainability on campus and in the community, by funding innovative projects that demonstrate environmental leadership and economic benefit.” The idea struck me as brilliant.
Again and again in this election season we've heard calls for transparency in the Student Government. The candidates and the judicial boards have talked plenty. I think it's worth hearing a word or two from the rest of us.
The AU women’s lacrosse team dropped their first game in the Patriot League play to Colgate University 11-9 on Saturday at Jacobs Field.
