I'm Mackenzie, bye

By Mackenzie Ryan | March 22

From Mackenzie Ryan to the AU community: A newspaper, at its best, reflects the community that it serves. At The Eagle, we strive to report on the news involving our campus and surrounding area. Like other college newspapers, we face a unique challenge not only because we are all students and still learning, but also because each year the staff turns over and we start a new chapter.

Hi, I'm Anne

By Anne Godlasky | March 22

From Anne Godlasky to the AU community: As the school year winds down and seniors prepare for life beyond AU, other students prepare for their own adjustments as they step into new leadership positions. The Eagle staff is itself in the midst of an annual transition, as older, experienced members relinquish to new editors the responsibility, stress and satisfaction that come with producing a newspaper.

The deadly politics of power

By Kevin Sheneberger | March 18

Liberal columnist Kevin Sheneberger: "No, God is not dead. In fact, last time I checked, He was assisting John Kerry with his recent sweep in the Tuesday primaries. American University, despite its best efforts with the CLEG program, often fails to introduce cross-academic intellectual pursuits and analysis when it so benevolently bestows upon us our $32,000-education. As a result of this void, we find action without passion, passion without depth, and politics without philosophy. It is my humble hope that, through introducing a pinch of philosophical support for my ideas, I might aid in the growth of inter-academic relations."
