Eagle rants

TOP RANT: Dear kind person who returned my iPhone to public safety so I could get it back: THANK YOU SO MUCH! You not only saved me from having to replace my credit card, apartment keycard, health insurance card, AU ID card, library card, driver's license, and iphone; Also in there were two tickets to Disney World from a very special vacation. It means a lot to me to have them back. Your generosity reminds me how lucky I am to be a part of the good-hearted AU community. Thanks again for your kindness. Good karma will surely come your way. :) -Grateful AU Student

AU student seeks ANC seat

SPA sophomore Sami Green is running for a spot on the Advisory Neighborhood Commission 3D07 for the fourth time in her two years here at AU.

There were going to be bigger houses, faster cars and better paying jobs in a peaceful world.

Letter to the editor

Although I transferred out of AU, I have been bombarded with news and updates about SG. While many students at AU don’t highly regard SG, I spent all three of my semesters proudly serving in the senate. Lately, plenty of my friends down in D.C. are upset to hear that the Founders’ Day Ball has been postponed indefinitely. While the postponement of AU’s one great tradition is rather regrettable, it inevitably comes to the point where we begin to ask ourselves why this happened.
