Do revenge films relieve stress?

April 15

As the semester winds down, AU students are facing finals and are possibly at odds with their roommates. On top of that, today is Tax Day, a stressful time in many Americans' lives.

File sharing debated

By Zehra Rizavi | April 15

While some panelists at the American Forum Tuesday night claimed that downloading music and movies from the Internet infringes copyright laws, others argued that the practice will not stop and the government must modify current laws to accommodate it. Record labels and artists traditionally made a large chunk of their profits from CD sales, and the 50 percent dive in sales between 1999 and 2002 does more than worry record executives, said David Sutphen, the vice president of government relations for the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

By Kevin Hilgers | April 12

It's a good thing AU Women's Lacrosse scored four goals in the first 4:37 of the second half, for it was enough to diminish a late-match charge by the visiting Monmouth Hawks in Saturday's non-conference match.
