Chances are, if you are a woman — no matter how old — you know what “Twilight” is, or have at least heard of it. With the second film in the series, “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” coming to theaters on Friday, cast members admit they did not see themselves in this position when they signed up.

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.

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.
