Huolette helms Hoya victory

After losing to Notre Dame on Saturday, the Georgetown women’s basketball team looked to get back on track against St. John’s Tuesday night in the Big East Game of the Week. The Hoyas were seeking their seventh win in 10 games, and to get it, they needed a mature player to step up. Senior guard Karee Houlette filled just that role leading the team with a career high 22 points as Georgetown defeated St. John’s 64-48. The win helped improve the Hoyas’ Big East record to 2-1, and with a tough conference schedule approaching, each victory is vital.

Alaska: neither lipstick, nor pitbulls, nor Sarah Palin

The meaning of my Alaskan identity changed on a Friday afternoon last semester in Walsh 392. That day, John McCain announced Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential nominee. In a matter of mere hours, strangers and friends alike stopped asking me about frigid temperatures and polar bears, and began inquiring about my opinion of Sarah Palin.

Fleeting impressions from the souls of Marrakesh

Street performers in every city, great and small, charm the penniless and the penny-plenty, the foreign and the familiar, the old and the young alike, in a shameless effort to earn a few dollars.

Hoyas hammer Huskies

Greg Monroe is only a freshman, but he hardly played like one against No. 2 UConn (11-1, 0-1 Big East) Monday night. It certainly didn’t look like the big man’s first Big East game as he amassed 16 points, four assists, three rebounds and three steals while outplaying one of the most imposing basketball players in the country.
