‘LOST’s’ claimed candidates create more questions

By Maisie Hooper · Sunday, Feb. 28, 2010

On this week’s episode of “LOST,” “The Lighthouse,” we met a mini-Shepherd, Jack’s son, David. David stays with Jack while David’s mother is out of town, but the two have trouble communicating. We see commonalities in the relationships between Jack and his father and Jack and his son. Luckily, Jack is neither a lush nor a prick, and he overcomes the communication barrier when he shows up to his son’s piano audition only to meet Mr. “Too-Cool for English” Dogan and his tiny, prodigy son.

CourseRank: A critique

Letter to the editor

February 24

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.
