By Blair Payne | January 13

Greek recruitment, which begins Friday, provides students with an opportunity to get involved with AU's fraternities and sororities.

Student witnesses waves in India

By Anne Godlasky | January 13

Last month, AU student Vandana Duggal's family changed their plans when an airline called to tell them they could get tickets to the Andaman Islands off India's coast. "We weren't even supposed to be going ... [but] it's so hard to get to, so we said 'yeah, why not?'" Duggal said. On Dec. 26, her family awoke early to get on their way to Havloc, one of the most beautiful islands in the world. It was then, on a jetty half a mile into the sea, that Duggal was faced with one of the worst experiences of her life, and Southeast Asia was pummeled by one of the worst disasters in history.

Now finally - in the wake of hacker attacks, stolen source code and litigation with the publisher - the sequel has arrived. That "Half-Life 2" is a quality game is unquestionable; its technological wonders and storytelling competence combine to create a wonderful and compelling tale of revolution and revenge. But while "Half-Life 2" can be considered one of the best games of the year, it may not reach the stratospheric heights its predecessor did.
