A fat redneck and a skinny redneck jump off a cliff. Who wins? Society.
On March 21, the South Asia Student Association (SASA) issued an apology to candidate for SG Secretary Eric Reath. Earlier that week, SASA had made formal endorsements to candidates running for SG that the club had decided would serve the best interests of SASA. There was a complaint filed that SASA did not follow the proper course of action to endorse SG candidates, and the Board of Elections decided to revoke SASA’s ability to be a part of this year’s elections.
We are a university that stresses CIVITAS. We best represent the University and ourselves when we show civility in our actions, both on and off campus.
Anyone who’s taken College Writing at AU can tell you a different tale about their experience with the program. It was informative, it was a joke, it helped some win $200.
I’m not a smoker — it’s not for me. When I turned 18, I went through a phase where I kept a cigarette between my lips because I thought it looked cool. I thought it would help enhance my rebel image and attract girls. But it was rarely lit, and when it was, I never inhaled. Nevertheless, I befriended authentic smokers outside buildings on cold days (when my breath was most visible) and cultivated relationships I maintain today.
Last November saw a Republican tidal wave sweep 63 new members of the GOP into the House of Representatives and make John Boehner the Speaker of the House. That election last fall was ultimately the result of many complex factors: disappointment with the president, distress over various economic upheavals and a conservative backlash against several societal changes.
Let’s be frank: who really likes Gen Eds? I don’t look at it as a series of educational opportunities, but a list of meaningless courses I need to check off in order to graduate. And I sincerely doubt that I’m alone in that sentiment.
Pennsylvania, Kansas, Ohio, North Carolina — what do these four states have in common? No, they’re not battleground states in 2012. These states represent the homes of the top four seeds in the 2011 March Madness tournament. They’re the favorites, the powerhouses.
• It's almost April, which means there's almost only one month of classes left, which means it's almost finals, which means it's almost summer! Right? Right!?!? • The (National) Mall is home to some of the strangest characters on Earth, I swear … • Dear AU, 60 minutes does not dry ...
Since last June, members of the Sexual Assault Working Group’s grant committee have worked tirelessly to create an application for the Department of Justice Violence Against Women Act campus grant.
I wish I didn’t have to write this letter. Honestly. I don’t like to insert myself into contentious debates — most of the time I just don’t see the point. But sometimes, it’s worth it. I cannot in good conscious stay silent when a friend is under attack for something that is simply not true.
The Eagle's picks for the top four SG positions.
The final two contents square off.
In a piece for American Way of Life (AWOL), writer Ashley Dejean wrote about the lack of diversity in student government on campus. She very accurately noted that SG has become a “Boy’s Club” and that, “At the executive level, the gap is far from closed. For the past three years, the Student Government President has been a straight white male from the School of Public Affairs Leadership Program.” This seemed to be the largest area of concern in the article, and with the upcoming SG presidential election, this school now has the opportunity to respond to the concerns raised in Dejean’s article.
Chris Rock once said, “A man is basically as faithful as his options.” Like many of his jokes, he’s kind of kidding. But he’s kind of serious too. The evidence of men with fidelity issues could overflow magazine racks across the world. In fact, it does. Few men are immune to the seduction ...
