By Jesse Epstein | November 8

Looking back on the 20th century and, more importantly, recent history, few regions have had better luck than the greater Massachusetts area.

Students encouraged to apply to med school

By Khai Ha | November 8

The College of Arts and Sciences held an information seminar for students interested in pre-med last Thursday in the Beeghley building. "I'm attending to see what scholarships are available and whether I'm heading in the right direction," said Heather Williams, a freshman in CAS. Students were encouraged to request information about medical school and to apply as soon as possible. They were also warned against using Advanced Placement credits in lieu of classes because not all medical schools would accept them. Throughout the evening, speakers gave advice and addressed concerns students had, most notably about financing a medical school education.

By Ian Quillen | November 8

While AU Men's Soccer teams from past years have accomplished such feats as qualifying for the NCAA tournament and even advancing to the round of 16 in 2002, this year's team did something Saturday night that none of those teams had: win a regular-season Patriot League title. The Eagles did so by wining, 3-2, at Lafayette in overtime, twice recovering from one-goal deficits before senior forward Sean Albright rocketed home the winner in the 100th minute - the final minute of the first of two possible overtime periods.

"We don't have a football team here at AU," said professor James Thurber, director of the Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies, giving welcoming remarks to a large audience gathered to watch Wednesday's post-election forum.

Parking policy criticism driven by students

By Mary Specht | November 4

Representatives from AU's Graduate Leadership Council and the Washington College of Law's Student Bar Association voiced concerns about the vagueness of AU's off-campus parking policy in a meeting with administrators Thursday. "There's nothing in writing in [AU's] 'good neighbor policy' that says, or that would even allude to, what students should do in regards to parking," said Zen Hunter-Ishikawa, executive chair of the GLC. "I realize that the university is taking the 'good neighbor policy' and applying it to parking. What students are asking for is ... to have [that interpretation] on paper so that students can review it."
