Which Dem gets AU's vote?

By L. Russell "Rusty" Allen IV · Thursday, Oct. 16, 2003

It's almost presidential primary season, and I am psyched. As a registered Democrat, I can't wait to see who comes out of the primaries with the Democratic nomination. What's even more fun is seeing the people that support each candidate.

GA, Freshman class elections close today

Monday, Oct. 13, 2003

AU students headed to the polls to vote for their representatives to the General Assembly and Class of 2007 Council yesterday and continue to vote today. Unlike last year, sheets of paper and pens greet them instead of computers offering online voting. "I've done paper ballots before," said Polson Kanneth, chair of the Student Confederation's Board of Elections. "It's accountable. When someone wants to check the count, they are there. And there's a hard copy." The election, which includes votes for open seats on the GA as well as the new freshman class council, shifted away from the computer system after problems in the past. "Some people were able to vote for themselves five times," Kanneth said, "while others weren't able to vote for themselves once."

Club funds allocated

By Joshua Wu · Monday, Oct. 13, 2003

AU's Club Council has allocated around $110,000 to 126 clubs who initially requested around $340,000, a process that was "especially difficult because the requested amount was three times greater than our total budget," said AUCC Chair Evan Wagner. "The Council's job is not to make your wish-list come true," Wagner said, "but to simply defer some of your costs.

October 13

Even using a friend's ID to buy alcohol at a liquor store or a bar is defined as a misrepresentation of identity. Today, with increased arrests, there is an even higher probability of arrest with the misuse of an ID.

About the recall ...

By Michael Lewis | October 13

Guest columnist Michael Lewis believes that corruption in the United States can be seen everywhere. From illegal accounting practices to people finding loopholes to avoid paying taxes, we as a society always try to get around doing the right thing and avoiding the consequences of our bad decisions. Some politicians have made a career out of lying to their constituents to please the needs of their friends or for personal gain.

Crackdown on fake IDs

By Story Elmore | October 13

Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) told a congressional committee last week that newer approaches are needed to deal with illegal document production and sale in D.C.'s Adams Morgan neighborhood - a place that some AU students find using fake IDs easy. Norton also expressed concerns about national security risks in the Oct. 1 hearing before the Select Committee on Homeland Security. She said after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, these activities "could become a conduit for people seeking identification documents to enable them to carry out terrorist activities." Norton said identification document fraud affects the whole nation.

Law gets those who dare to download

By Ari Natter | October 13

The Recording Industry Association of America's latest tactic to deter file-swappers - a broad and encompassing series of subpoenas and lawsuits filed against music downloaders - has left many file-swappers unsure of how to proceed in getting free music. Many downloaders have more questions than answers regarding the extent of the RIAA's pursuit of file-swappers, the safety of downloading music and the chances of being sued.

Staff editorial: New drug policy needs changes

October 13

Due to a recent survey on drug use, the University has decided to form a "task force" in an effort to bring AU's alcohol and drug use down to or below the national average. Though reduced drug abuse is unarguably a good thing, The Eagle wonders if this task force is acting in the best interests of students, parents or the University's image.
