Fore! play!

While lacrosse, soccer and football benefit from the advantage of on-campus facilities, the Hoya golf team could never dream of having more than 18 holes of mini-golf in the quaintly cramped Georgetown community. The only glimpse most students will ever get of the golf team may be the sight of players lugging their golf bags on the way to practice.

Edward Hopper and the art of loneliness

The National Gallery’s modern art space endures perpetual remodeling. Most recently, the industrial white walls have turned a calmer, grayish blue, and visitors to the East Wing will find Jasper Johns’ dynamic targets and mechanical abstractions from last spring replaced by the composed depictions of Edward Hopper’s America.

Spreading our moment

Many of us at Georgetown wish to help these billions of people by committing our undergraduate studies to understanding the complex dimensions of global poverty and development, evaluating the mistakes and successes of the past and exploring innovative ways to effectively and responsibly address them in the future. The International Development Certificate provides a broad framework of study for student wishing to work in this field. Unfortunately, only students in the School of Foreign Service are allowed to pursue it. Students in other schools at Georgetown University should also have access to the certificate and its benefits.

Petraeus falls into the quagmire of lies

Carrying On

Let’s say you’re a freshman, eagerly awaiting the substance-induced rebellion promised you by multiple viewings of Animal House. You could binge drink like so many other freshmen, but why go the cliché route? Not to mention you’re as terrified of the new campus alcohol policies as every other student. You’ve been Just-Say-No-ed enough to stay away from hard drugs. Cigarettes might be the right rebellion statement, but you know the health risks and don’t want to end up an addict (and if, like me, you come from the land of a thousand smoking bans called California, this message has permeated your entire being.)

Then a friend invites you to a hookah bar.

Switch Hitting: a weekly take on sports

Still unsure as to whether or not Georgetown has a football team? Me, too. But meandering over to the center of campus last Saturday, I noticed something.

The Sports Sermon

To me, Peter Gammons is the ultimate name in baseball credibility. I’ve never read a single column he wrote in The Boston Globe, don’t regularly search out his pieces on ESPN.com and only hear from him on the rare occasions that I watch SportsCenter when he happens to be on.
