Eco-Sense, AU's environmental awareness club, is holding a variety of events throughout the week aimed at raising awareness about environmental issues.
The church of Rufus Wainwright is a smoky club in northwest D.C. He rests helpless and made-up on a white crucifix, his hands tied, his chest heaving under an electric blue tunic. "Gay Messiah," a swirling, wispy acoustic song about the coming of a homosexual savior (who will, in fact, be wearing tube socks) plays behind him, and the words resonate from his tilted throat, a call to his followers.
Former AU president Benjamin Ladner accepted a severance deal this week that will cost the university almost $3.8 million but will avoid a potential legal battle, university officials said.

The AU field hockey team had 15 minutes of overtime to beat Virginia at Jacobs Athletic Complex Wednesday.
1. Free printer paper for the whole campus for a year
As a member of AU's Women's Field Hockey team, I would like to respond to both Kevin Hilgers' article concerning IM football complaints about the new turf, and Jesse Epstein's accompanying editorial. AU Field Hockey has been trying to get such a field as we have now for 6 years, in order to finally place our facilities at the same level as other Division I teams. For 6 years we have been waking at 4.30 AM in order to practice on UMD's or Georgetown's turf. We have scheduled our season around theirs, begging turf times as the lowest priority. For the past two years we have lost our right to host the Patriot League Tournament-despite being undefeated in the regular season-because we did not have a turf of our own. I realize that IM football has had to play off campus as well, but I beg to assert that Field Hockey has more of a vested interest in the new turf.
For the AU women's soccer team, the non-conference schedule was brutal.
As Gulf Coast residents begin to clean up and dry out their towns and cities, the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina has yet to be fully assessed.
For AU Women's Soccer coach Michael Brady, it doesn't matter that his team is 3-1 in its last four games.
This year American University's student-run radio station, WVAU, will launch its new format, aimed at making the station run more smoothly and professionally.
"Freshmen"
The Mud Box and Pura Vida Coffee Shops will open this fall, joining the four others already open on the AU campus.
After years of planning as part of President Ben Ladner's 15-Point Plan to improve the school, AU will begin its University College program for freshmen this fall.
AU has been one of the most active campuses in embracing Pura Vida, a representative for the company said at an informational meeting Wednesday.
Please allow me a moment to respond to the specific questions addressed to Pura Vida in the April 7 issue of The Eagle by Ibbie Hedrick, Et al. As a card-carrying capitalist and Harvard MBA, as well as the co-founder of one of the country's largest independent sellers of Certified Fair Trade coffee (structured as a public charity to direct resources to help at-risk children), I am delighted to sell our product on college campuses across the nation to a growing base of customers who are passionate about great coffee but who expect - no, demand - that their purchases do good at the same time.
Israeli-Palestinian relations may soon reach a turning point, according to former Ambassador Dennis Ross who spoke to about 30 students, their parents and professors Monday at an invitation-only meeting organized by C.O.R.E., an inter-campus student advocacy group. The conference was one of several events put on by student groups this week to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
This year marks the 140th anniversary of the end of the Civil War, the single most significant event in all of American history. In effect, the war redefined us as a people, and in so doing it served to refine the purpose of our national mission, which, with much difficulty, has always been to try to translate into reality the idealist rhetoric of the introduction of the Declaration of Independence, which is often viewed as the "birth certificate" of the American Dream.
The Eagle has recently published two letters to the editor containing information about Starbucks that inaccurately describes our coffee purchasing practices. We are proud of the efforts Starbucks makes to purchase coffee in a socially responsible way, as well as our work with coffee farmers. For that reason, we are writing to correct the record.
Recruiters from the largest fraternity in the nation, Sigma Phi Epsilon, moved on campus last week to begin a new chapter of an organization that distinguishes itself from other frats by not having a "pledge" status for its members.
