Hoyas in the Pitts, suffer second loss to Panthers

Not much separated the Georgetown Hoyas men’s basketball team (11-11 overall, 3-8 Big East) from the No. 9 Pittsburgh Panthers (18-4 overall, 8-3 Big East) Tuesday night in the Hoyas 82-67 loss. Simply put, the Panthers came through in the clutch; the Hoyas didn’t.

‘100th Window’ gives view of band’s decline

Pioneering British electronic act Massive Attack has finally released the follow-up to 1998’s critically acclaimed Mezzanine. The new album, 100th Window, is a disappointing record that tries in vain to recreate Mezzanine’s sound.

‘One Acts’ offer quick, dirty theater

“Because television sucks” is the slogan for Mask & Bauble’s Donn B. Murphy One Acts Festival this year. But even if you don’t want to watch television that sucks, decent actors trying to pull off plays that suck may not be enough to draw you off the couch.

As part of Georgetown’s increased security efforts in response to the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, a Department of Public Safety vehicle has been stationed at University entrances, Healy Gates and Reservoir Road, 24-hours a day.
