AU students seeking employment should use spring break to maximize their job search, according to Amit Puri, a career adviser at the Kogod Center for Career Development.
Still craving the badass cop heroes that made movies like “The Departed,” “American Gangster” and “Pride and Glory” box office hits? Prepare to get your morally-questionable, crime-fighting fix with Antoine Fuqua’s newest feature, “Brooklyn’s Finest.” Both Richard Gere and Ethan Hawke play police struggling with inner conflicts.
The weekend of Feb. 25 brought great success to AU’s theater department as they introduced four sold-out performances of Federico Garcia Lorca’s “The House of Bernarda Alba.”
Jay Leno returned to his 11:35 timeslot and hosting duties of The Tonight Show on Monday night. It was like he never left. The show started with a parody of The Wizard of Oz, acting as though Leno’s time off was just a horrible dream. Kevin Eubanks was there; Ross the Intern was there; Jon Menendez decided to return, and for some reason Betty White showed up to because she was clearly available.
I know that I’ve written about the Academy Awards over several of my columns, but I can’t stop. I can’t help it. The Oscars are the Super Bowl for movie geeks. Instead of the playoffs we have the Golden Globes and various Guild awards. After following the race, I’m happy that the awards season is coming to an end, but questions still remain before the big night — namely who will take the top prize.
The new LP by Clarence Greenwood, better known as Citizen Cope, is a self-produced effort to get in touch with his music on a more personal level. Released by his own label, RainWater Recordings, the album is commendable for being thoughtful, pithy and almost intentionally wishy-washy. But while it does score some brownie points for having heart and for showing off Greenwood’s versatility, it isn’t enough to redeem its overall dullness and poorly contrived intonations throughout.
In my last column, I looked at the shortfalls of Michelle Obama’s new “Let’s Move” campaign to end childhood obesity and the problems it poses regarding body image issues. This week I’m going to use the campaign as a springboard into what I feel is an even more dire issue: what lies at the heart of the obesity problem — our broken food system.
Chocolate. Lots of chocolate. A weekend of chocolate. Got your attention? I thought so. Whether you consider yourself a chocolate fanatic or just one out of the millions slightly obsessed with the sweet, do not miss out on The Chocolate Lovers Festival.
As most urbanites know, a city is more than just a location on a map or a collection of skyscrapers and street vendors. Every metropolis is a living, breathing, organism in its own right, comprised of its own unique culture.
With negotiations for a city-wide student Metro discount at a standstill, the university has the opportunity to salvage the effort. The time has come for an AU-sponsored discount.
Student Government President Andy MacCracken said it is unlikely that all universities in D.C. will be able to obtain a Metro discount for their students.
As the oldest Greek organization on campus, Phi Sigma Kappa has deeply ingrained itself into the AU and Washington, D.C., communities. We have built a dedicated and enthusiastic alumni club having initiated nearly 1,100 brothers, and contributed in more ways to the school that hosts us than is possible to name in this short space.
Residents of McDowell Hall got a wet surprise Sunday when a pipe burst on the sixth floor around 2 p.m.
Last week instead of being productive, I was circulating through my iTunes, reminiscing about the first time I had heard each particular song. I clicked through some Michael Jackson, Eminem, Jay-Z, a female soprano voice with a haunting flute playing in the background and an entire repertoire of Metallica. Although I pride my taste as being “cultured,” it’s not as if I consider myself a music connoisseur compared to the average listener. In fact, I’d guess that most of us can appreciate various forms of music, perhaps with tendencies towards one or two genres.
Almost everywhere you look on campus, you can find someone glued to his or her cell phone. Our society has become so incredibly infatuated with technology, and yet we are so completely unaware of the fact that we are all directly contributing to one of the deadliest conflicts in the world.
