AU students did not receive text message and e-mail alerts about a “dangerous chemical spill” in the Beeghly Building for more than an hour after the building was evacuated April 7.
Dance is generally stereotyped as a cold, feminine and old-fashioned art form. However, in the classrooms of the Katzen Arts Center, the AU Department of Performing Arts is blooming with youth, energy and talent, all showcased in last weekend’s Spring Dance Concert, “VHF: Very High Frequency.”
When a crisis, incident or accident occurs, there’s usually a system in place that helps inform citizens of the danger. Our city has Alert D.C. AU has RAVE alerts. These alerts are designed to, well, alert students of the goings-on in a situation so students know what to do in the event of an emergency.

When an opportunity comes up for an additional $300,000 to help the victims of sexual assault and prevent further ones from happening, you’d think that AU would be all over it. In addition to the programs we already have, getting that extra funding would be a big step toward reducing rape on campus. Nothing too controversial there, right?
The title of “Happythankyoumoreplease” is quite apropos — you will leave the theater grateful and wanting more of its offbeat charm.

On March 21, the South Asia Student Association (SASA) issued an apology to candidate for SG Secretary Eric Reath.

Finally some warm weather has (somewhat) come around, and with it comes shorter hems, brighter colors and other exciting new spring trends. These two students at AU caught my eye while walking down the Main Quad with their stylish ensembles. They make it apparent that some winter trends are here to stay while they both show off their combat boots. Here we get a taste of everything, from tights with shorts and boots, to white skirts with tucked in denim, to turban head ties. The transition from winter and spring can cause some chaos in our closets, but both these students show us how to do it right.
The Black Cat brought hordes of garage punk-loving teenagers to see the Atlanta band, Black Lips.
