The AU community, friends and family remember beloved Professor Sue Marcum.
A memorial service for Professor Sue Marcum will be held next Tuesday in Bender Arena at 8 p.m.
The Matt & Kim show last Friday brought all of the band’s trademark energy and charm to the District. Doors opened at 8 p.m. and a young crowd poured into the 9:30 club. A sold out show led to close quarters on the floor and barely any more space on the second tier. All around, the venue was full of energy.
Tues., Nov. 2, 2010 marks the day of very important elections for Washington, D.C. No, we’re not talking about the midterm elections of senators — we at The Eagle will be watching the races for Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner in ANC 3D 02 and ANC 3D 07. Our voter guide offers the scoop on those in the running, straight from the candidates themselves.
One hundred and ten minutes after the start of the men’s soccer match against the College of the Holy Cross, the scoreboard at Reeves Field remained blank as the AU Eagles could not find the back of the net in a 0-0 draw. “I think the thing for us is we’ve been having chances in a lot of our ...
On Oct. 28 the national touring production of “Hair” opened in the Kennedy Center Opera House. As the first rock musical, “Hair” epitomizes the raw emotion, radical thought and groovy fashion that represent the counter-culture movement of the 1960s. From the laissez-faire sexual norms to the drug and love induced nudist gatherings to the draft-card burning “Be-Ins,” “Hair” captures all the essential elements of a time that inspires nostalgia in both young and old.
The frights came alive in Tenleytown the night of Oct. 26, when the “Saw 3D” display truck made its promotional stop at AU. As part of a promotional tour featuring artifacts from the movie franchise, the moving exhibit parked outside of the Tenleytown CVS offered fans a peak into the goings-on inside the “Saw” universe. The truck carried the hideout of iconic movie mass-murderer “Jigsaw,” and was open for all the public to see. Making stops in Chicago, D.C. and Philadelphia, the moving display has set up its mobile shop of horrors within each city’s college communities, gathering crowds and promoting the upcoming release of “Saw 3D.”
Most students are procrastinators. I can’t help but chuckle as I walk into the library at midnight, the day before a stats project is due, and see half my class plugging away.
A message to the Blue Crew — this is your time to show your AU pride. It’s November. Besides the crisp autumn days and turkey, November also means Patriot League playoffs.

Forty-eight years ago, President John F. Kennedy learned of the presence of Soviet missile bases in Cuba. The crisis that ensued in the final days of October 1962 brought the Cold War’s combatants to the edge of the nuclear abyss. Only after painstaking negotiations and the removal of American missiles from Italy and Turkey did the frightening prospects of nuclear war recede.
As a club dedicated to genocide prevention and awareness, we are writing to express our concern over the misuse of the word genocide. On Thursday, Oct. 21, AU Students for Life displayed on the quad a poster with the question “What is genocide?” The answers they listed were Rwanda, Darfur, Holocaust ...
At AU’s Public Anthropology Conference this past weekend, I overheard a woman whisper, walking determinedly toward the breakfast spread, “I need my coffee in the morning. I just can’t get through the day without it.” She was about to present on the roles of neoliberalism in a specific region of the world. She’s not alone — at AU we talk ourselves to death about the role consumerism has in globalization of other countries, or the impact of capitalism in international development. And we also talk about coffee. How could the two conversations have anything in common?
Ever since Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert used their shows to announce the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear, a palpable sense of anticipation could be felt among D.C. residents.
