The Offspring: Aging punks offer tired LP

By Emily Zemler | March 22

The Offspring used to be categorized along with bands like Green Day and blink-182 as one of the original pop punk bands and it still is in some sense. Its new album begs to differ. "Hit That," the first single off the Offspring's latest contribution to the music world, sounds like a joke on first listen.

I'm Mackenzie, bye

By Mackenzie Ryan | March 22

From Mackenzie Ryan to the AU community: A newspaper, at its best, reflects the community that it serves. At The Eagle, we strive to report on the news involving our campus and surrounding area.

By David Hodges | March 22

For me, the past year at The Eagle has been at turns fun, stressful, educational, and above all worthwhile. I became editorial page editor with the mandate to redesign the page, to get more and better contributors and to have regular columnists. I think I've succeeded in improving the page, and I hope that regular readers are happy with the difference between how the page looked in the beginning of the year and how it looks now.
