Letter to the Editor

I joined the Undergraduate Senate, at the behest of outgoing Secretary Colin Meiselman, when I transferred to American University. I joined the body out of anger. I was incensed that the Senate was voting on what I deemed to be a pointless issue: criticizing Columbus Day and calling for an alleged "Indigenous People's Day," and I was determined to get the Senate to start focusing on issues that mattered to the students.

Director Nicole Holofcener’s ‘Please Give’ offers female look into consumerist greed

Nancy Meyers and Nora Ephron are too often cited as the only female directors making films about contemporary women’s issues. Both directors are consistently successful at the box office, yet their films celebrate wildly varying degrees of success. Although her films typically fly under the Meyers-Ephron radar, it is director Nicole Holofcener who is authoring better movies about women and tackling more sophisticated themes.


AN EDUCATION — In his new documentary, filmmaker Bob Bowdon explores the public school system of New Jersey, which holds a reputation as the best-educated state in the United States. However, Bowdon’s visuals are amateur at best, and his information is misguided and hypocritical.

Documentary "The Cartel" fails to educate on public schools

Whoever gave news reporter-turned-director Bob Bowdon a camera and a tutorial in iMovie should be punished. His patronizing, ethically bankrupt documentary “The Cartel” serves as a train wreck of an example for aspiring documentarians to use as a complete antithesis for the type of work they should be making.
