Good night, Martha, and good luck

The richness of life on Georgetown’s campus is drawn from its civil society—the clubs and organizations who hold events and speeches, throw parties, raise money and awareness and, yes, publish newspapers. These organizations are our passions, and no one is more passionate about them than Martha Swanson, the outgoing Director of Student Programs.

The greening of the District

Most Georgetown students—and for that matter, many District residents—recognized Earth Day two weeks ago as little more than a chance to snag a free cone at Ben and Jerry’s. But a few hundred miles north of us, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has taken a major step towards making New York environmentally friendly by unveiling a set of new policies that could cut the city’s greenhouse gas emissions by up to 30 percent. Mayor Adrian Fenty should follow his example and develop a concrete long-term plan for reducing D.C.’s negative impact on the environment.

Marking the miles along the road

If I have noticed anything in people, it is that they tend to use relationships and love interests as milestones and reference points when they speak about their pasts.

Letters to the Editor

Rei should not have said what he said; it was insensitive and careless. But it is absurd to suggest that he poses any threat to the students at this school, and we hope he will return next year to a campus that welcomes him home.

Suggestive figures, Grading on curves, Georgetown gets down

Everybody’s doin’ it! Or are they? Last Monday, the Voice wrapped up an anonymous web-based survey of more than 300 students, designed with the advice of the Mathematics Department’s Statistics Consulting Clinic, and the results show that more often than not, they are. 62.8 percent of the 269 undergrads who fully completed the survey described themselves as sexually active, and 91.7 percent of those sexually active have had intercourse in the past year.

You Taste Like a Burger

“Eating is cheating.” Studying abroad in Australia, I heard that a lot. “We drink beer here,” Sayd, my stereotypically Aussie friend, explained. “That takes up a lot of room in your belly. If you start the night with a stomach full of food, there’s no room for what matters–more beer.”

Critical Voices: Feist

Known for her sultry, lounge-style music and soft vocals, Leslie Feist has successfully expanded her palate beyond the Starbucks-friendly Let it Die in her latest album, The Reminder. It still contains many of the slow jam, coffee-guzzling tracks that worked well in the previous album, but with a few welcome surprises.

Critical Voices: Frog Eyes

The return of Frog Eyes, the most difficult—though occasionally thrilling—Canadian indie rock band of the last decade, is cause for some celebration. As with most things Frog Eyes, it’s also cause for some head scratching. Tears of the Valedictorian, the band’s first album since 2004 and fourth overall, is an amplification of the band’s best traits, and an unexpected leap forward.

Lezhur Ledger: Relay for Life a fun-raiser

I could smell the GUGS burgers all the way from the Leavey Center—the scent of a barbeque spread through the clear spring air faster than the keenest relayers. As I got closer to the source of the delicious aroma, the music got louder, the crowd got rowdier and, turning into Harbin Field, I stumbled into the biggest party of Saturday night. The field looked like a combination of a Bedouin settlement, an Oriental bazaar and a children’s fair. There were tents as far as the eye could see. All the summer trends were here: floral Hawaiian, fluorescent brights and the nautical color scheme of the Hoya Blue tent. If it weren’t for the numerous white and purple Relay For Life balloons, this tent city could have been easily mistaken for a mass, al fresco slumber party.
