Mayer takes ‘crooked’ music path with ‘Battle’

Beginning with “Heartbreak Warfare,” John Mayer’s latest record has a slow, dark sound that defines most of the album. As a whole, the songs are covered in more background sound than John Mayer fans may be used to; the time and energy it took to make each song are evident, but it takes away almost any catchy quality they might have had.

Jammin’ Java ready to whistle as ‘File’ work

Corrections

In “Men’s soccer falls 1-0 in PL Championship” published on Nov. 16, The Eagle incorrectly reported that red shirt senior Cooper Bryant was ejected for spitting in an official’s face. In fact, according to a report from the Patriot League, he was ejected for using abusive language towards an official. Bryant violated a different subsection of the same rule; instead of rule 12.15.4 it was rule 12.15.7. In “Panel highlights shortfalls of DCPS,” published Nov. 12 The Eagle incorrectly identified a speaker as Sean Peterson. In fact, his name is John Peterson. The Eagle regrets these errors.

Parking policy causes concern

This university’s parking policy is preposterous. The rules are ridiculous and vague. It’s especially unfortunate, considering the consequences for breaking the rules are serious and appealing these consequences is challenging. Something must be done — and the first step is for everyone to understand the lunacy of the status quo.

In 2006, the New York Times declared that female dominance of men in universities was “the new gender divide.” About 60 percent of U.S. college students are female, and that number is even more staggering at AU, where about two-thirds of our students are women.
