Many people are feeling a little lost about what movie constitutes a “must see” after all the Oscar anticipation and excitement. They are ready to take a break from heavier films but don’t exactly want to see the latest romantic comedy. The Environmental Film Festival in the Nation’s Capital provides the perfect medium of thought-provoking, inspiring and motivating films.
From a 9/11 memorial to a painted elephant to lamppost banners, every senior class leaves its mark on campus.
In my last column, I looked at the shortfalls of Michelle Obama’s new “Let’s Move” campaign to end childhood obesity and the problems it poses regarding body image issues. This week I’m going to use the campaign as a springboard into what I feel is an even more dire issue: what lies at the heart of the obesity problem — our broken food system.
Let’s examine the typical transportation costs of the working AU student. Laden with an unpaid internship — we’ll say in Farrugut North —and working three days a week, the logical transportation method of choice would be the Metro. The benefits are clear: convenient locations, the sustainability of public transportation. But most importantly, it’s cheap.
A pipe burst on the sixth floor of McDowell Hall around 2 p.m. yesterday, causing all rooms ending in 19 and 21 to receive varying degrees of damage, according to residents of McDowell Hall.
SANTIAGO, Chile — At first I thought it was just the loud music of the club, or that I had possibly had too much to drink. My second thought was that the vibrating dance floor was some sort of cool Chilean special effect.
One student in the School of Public Affairs’ Public Financial Management program on Haiti died in last month’s earthquake. The other 19 are safe, though many suffered personal losses.
George Orwell once wrote in his essay "Why I Write" that many people write for "sheer egoism." I think his excerpt on this merits further quoting ...

The AU base of the Community Supported Agriculture program has shown a drop in membership this year from last year’s total of 16 participants.
The record-breaking, two-punch snowfall that blanketed campus last week forced AU to house staff nearby or on campus. Classes after noon on Friday, Feb. 5 were canceled as were classes from Monday to Thursday, though the university was open Friday.
AU hosted the nation-wide launch of the first system specifically made to evaluate the sustainability of colleges and universities this semester.
The record-breaking, two-punch snowfall that has blanketed campus for the last week has led to AU staff being housed nearby or on campus as well as nearly a week of class cancellations.
Editor's note: This is an updated staff editorial. The original, published Feb. 4, inaccurately implied that the pending legislation regarding the Clean Energy Revolving Fund was to create the fund, as opposed to simply clarify the rules regarding its financing. This is a serious error and the editorial staff at The Eagle believes it warrants an updated staff editorial, in addition to the usual clarification and corrections. The Eagle regrets this error.
In “Frat faces IFC allegations,” from the Feb. 1 edition of The Eagle, Curtis Burrill was misidentified as the director of greek life. His job title is “coordinator,” not director.

Only half the 20 students in the School of Public Affairs’ public financial management program in Haiti have been accounted for since the earthquake, and the program’s facilities have been destroyed, according to William LeoGrande, dean of SPA.
I have gone abroad this semester, and can’t usually keep abreast of campus affairs. But, one astounding thing which did manage to flash across my radar was a recent bill passed by the Undergraduate Senate on Jan. 24th. Entitled “A Bill to Express Support for an Appropriate Clean Energy Revolving Fund,” this bill actually served to undermine the long-term effectiveness of the Clean Energy Revolving Fund (CERF) because it precludes even a discussion of green fees or student government contributions down the line. CERF was designed to bring clean energy to this university in order to reduce our environmental impact, and in doing so, to realize the vision of AU as a leading institution for sustainability. This exact goal is articulated in the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment to which we became party in 2007 thanks to the hard work of EcoSense and forward thinking vision of our President Neil Kerwin. Fulfillment of the ACUPCC is further enshrined in the Strategic Plan adopted the following year. This same principle is echoed all around campus with signs boasting that The American Dream is Green. Ultimately, this act violates our university’s core ethos – “Ideas into Action. Action into Service.” In order to make our university the leading institution which it aspires to be, we need a strong CERF. For this reason, I applaud SG President MacCracken’s veto of the bill. I further applaud the Undergraduate Senate for having ears and eyes open enough to realize their folly in passing the legislation last week, and deciding to uphold SG President Andy MacCracken’s veto in yesterday’s session. Clean energy is the way of the future. A strong, effective CERF will make AU a leader in realizing that future.
