While the Georgetown men’s soccer team has had many ups and downs so far this season, one player has been as steady as they come. Steve Neumann is far and away the team leader in points, with six goals and five assists. What makes Neumann’s performance all the more impressive is that he is a freshman, and he has only started one game this season.
Somewhere in Major League Baseball’s excruciatingly long 136-page rulebook, a provision in Section 9.2 reads, “If there is reasonable doubt that any umpire’s decision may be in conflict with the rules, the manager may appeal the decision and ask that a correct ruling be made. Such appeal shall be made only to the umpire who made the protested decision.”
The Corp is not perfect. That’s why feedback, like last week’s Voice op-ed by Julie Patterson entitled “Corporal punishment: My daily dose of café-au-hell” is so important to us.

As I was on my way to New York City for Columbus Day weekend, the guy next to me on the bus decided to strike up a conversation. “How do you like Mill?” he asked. He was referring to On Liberty, which I was furiously marking up with my pen. I had already decided I was going to spend the weekend tackling my flood of homework.
Less than two years ago, the International Development Certificate in the School of Foreign Service was thriving. It sponsored campus events, hosted résumé reviews, and helped students connect with alumni working in development-related fields. But today, the program is a mere shadow of what it used to be—and what it could be.
Traditional on-campus study spaces filled up hours ago. But the Rafik B. Hariri building is lined with rows of comfortable seats, tables, and discussion rooms that would suit your study group’s needs perfectly. There’s just one problem—the doors of the McDonough School of Business’s glittering new building are locked.
Georgetown’s unique application sends the message to prospective students that it values their individual application more than inflated rankings. Commitment to a thorough review of the whole applicant sets Georgetown apart from its peers, and is a crucial first step in the University’s attempt to educate and value the whole person.
