CORRECTIONS! e Eagle has a commitment to accuracy and clarity and will print any corrections or clari" cations. To report a mistake, email [email protected].
A Scene article stated Blends with Bene" ts “solely” performs pop, jazz, blues and alternative music. In fact, those genres are merely some of the genres Blends performs.
! e Aug. 30 News article “Main campus parking rates rise again” stated that students cannot park in the SIS ga-rage. Only students with permits cannot park in the garage. ! e article also stated that it is possible for a student’s license to be suspended because of numerous AU parking tickets, which is incorrect.
