Not exactly a disco with books

In High School, everyone wants to know where everyone else is going for college and nobody feels uncomfortable asking. However, in my high school, one group of students seemed uncomfortable about answering, for they know that they will be instantly judged, pitied or disregarded—they were going to community college.

Register for your right to party

We like to think of Georgetown as a “work hard, play hard” school, but last May an e-mail from Vice President for Student Affairs Todd Olson informed the student body that Georgetown would be cracking down on the play part of the equation this year.

Rocco’s Georgetown Life

Being the new kid in school is tough. In middle school it means devastating nicknames and getting pantsed in gym class. For Georgetown’s new Vice President for Safety and Security, Rocco DelMonaco, Jr., it means adjusting to a campus of several thousand college students.

Penn who? We’re so hot right now

Money can’t buy us love, but it could buy Georgetown a better U.S. News and World Report ranking. Since 1983, the magazine has published a list of the country’s “best” colleges, fueling college-application fervor nationwide. This month, U.S. News ranked Georgetown 23rd for the second straight year. Whether or not Hoyas admit it, most are dissatisfied with that number. When it comes to college rankings, a school’s financial resources play a big part.But because Georgetown’s endowment and alumni giving trail behind those of other schools, the University lags unfairly behind in the rankings.

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.

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.

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.
