An unknown individual or group of individuals may have stifled free speech and political discussion this past weekend by removing an American flag hanging from the Bender parking garage.
On Nov. 3, 1969, in a presidential address to the nation, Richard Nixon spoke of his plan to end the Vietnam War.
Our generation was once dubbed the ‘MySpace Generation,’ but Facebook changed all that. The Web site surpassed MySpace in total number of unique users all the way back in April 2008.
I was appalled at the “Moderately Amused” column in the Sept. 21 issue of The Eagle (“President Carter, please do America a big favor — sit down, shut up”).
The Undergraduate Senate passed a resolution yesterday that will place a proposed amendment to the Student Government constitution on the ballot in this fall’s election.
The time is ripe to discuss the 2012 election. While roughly 1,140 days is not looming per se, whispers of potential match-ups will surely dominate Washington in the coming months.
President Jimmy Carter, I have a request: sit down and shut up. Please. We all know you were well intentioned, but saying that anti-Obama protests is fueled by racial tensions serves no constructive process.
On Sunday, the Senate enabled the student body to decide whether the Comptroller and Secretary should be appointed rather than elected.
This Sunday, the Undergraduate Senate will debate a proposed amendment to the Student Government Constitution. The amendment would empower the SG president to appoint a comptroller and secretary.
As you might have heard, Richard Nixon was a crook. He was behind one the largest scandals in our government’s history, but that isn’t the action that has had the most devastating impact on America. Richard Nixon is a crook because he brought us into a pointless, tremendously expensive and impossible war: keeping people from smoking pot.
I don’t drink. First, a word on terminology: when I mention “drinking” in this column, I mean drinking for the purpose of getting drunk. I don’t mean relaxing with a nice glass of wine or having a beer with friends during the game. I mean getting hammered. Smashed. Shitfaced.
When I first encountered Professor Frederick Holliday last fall in Reflections of American Society on Stage and Screen, his boundless energy grabbed my attention. He was wonderful. He treated his students with respect, as equal partners in the learning process.
While I agree with the overall theme of your article ("Right wing extremists taint Tea Party protests, hurt conservative cause"), I feel it is guilty of a double standard.
As a new graduate student who traveled from a small university in the southwest corner of Michigan, I am settling in well at AU. One of the places that I enjoy most on my new campus is the Kay Spiritual Life Center, a place I have enjoyed visiting for prayer.
Adam L’Episcopo will get to graduate this spring, but soon thereafter he may be headed to Iraq — again. L’Episcopo is a senior in the School of International Service and he has a remarkable story. He served four years in the Army, including 18 months in Iraq.
Since last year’s election season, partisanship has become our new national pastime. While not every member of the electorate officially belongs to a party, nearly every voter casts their support to either the Republicans or the Democrats, breeding the rivalry that plagues today’s political atmosphere and eliminating possibilities for common ground.
Until this weekend, I gave the Tea Partiers the benefit of the doubt. On principle, I support protests. I think they’re good for democracy. Besides, I didn’t want to believe these anti-tax, anti-Obama demonstrators were the rabid, right-wing radicals Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann and other liberals made them out to be.
