Another day of the year

By Samantha Facciolo | September 29

As I sat in my room and read the newspapers on Sept. 11, 2003, a very strange thought flashed through my head. While I viewed the pictures of commemorative events and read the stories of memorial services, I wondered, "When will September 11 be a date on the calendar?

Eagles fall 0-1 to Big Red

By Ian Quillen | September 29

AU Men's Soccer's home opener against Cornell (1-3) looked like a mismatch on paper. When Cornell mid-fielder Tom Marks was ejected just a few seconds into the second half, the road to victory seemed even easier. And when junior AU 'keeper Thomas Myers saved Cornell defender Scott Palguta's penalty kick minutes later, the Eagles appeared to escape a major mistake unharmed.

Where do we go from here?

September 29

When the hormones are raging like a tyrannous Middle Eastern warlord, the only resistance to doing that-thing-you-do-best is a hostile roommate who refuses exile. Well, fret not over this mere obstacle, horny readers: Occupy other territories. Thankfully, AU's campus provides many suitable locations more remote than the hiding spot of that detestable rapscallion, Osama Bin-Laden.

Outkast reinventing hip-hop

By Daniel Longino | September 25

Most contemporary high-profile rap albums last too long and use too much filler. Folks like Jay-Z, with last year's "Blueprint 2," release ill-advised double CDs packing too much into one release. However, Outkast, comprised of Big Boi and Andre 3000, reigns the rap genre with its latest effort of two solo albums packaged into "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below."

By Pam Martin | September 25

Great music rained down on the Black Cat Tuesday when Cursive headlined a show that included Blood Brothers, Eastern Youth and Forensics.

Its recorded tracks translated flawlessly to the stage and are packed with even more emotion, if that's possible.
