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.

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."
