Our Take: The New 'Old' American Eagle

There once was a tale of a mighty group that came together and created the best student newspaper across all the land. We kicked them out because they were a bunch of dorks and decided to change things up a bit, and this is what you get. If you don't like it, well, we guess that is your problem.

April Fools!

Just a reminder to the University community that this is our annual April Fools issue. This year we have expanded to four fun pages allowing our edition to overflow with hilarity. This is all done in good fun and no harm is meant by it, so enjoy, and don't sue. For those of you looking for the regular issue that came out today, it will go online tonight as April Fools day comes to a close. Enjoy our coverage of the lighter side of AU.

Ed Page editor says goodbye

For me, the past year at The Eagle has been at turns fun, stressful, educational, and above all worthwhile. I became editorial page editor with the mandate to redesign the page, to get more and better contributors and to have regular columnists. I think I've succeeded in improving the page, and I hope that regular readers are happy with the difference between how the page looked in the beginning of the year and how it looks now.
