It is time to take Jack for a walk

After nearly five years as university president, John J. DeGioia has proven himself to be a fairly capable administrator. He is generally well-liked by students and faculty, and he has embraced his role as the school’s fundraiser-in-chief. What he has not done, however, is become a visible and accessible member of the campus community.

Breaking a mental sweat

My iPod broke right before spring break. Even though I’m a big fan of putting a soundtrack to my life, I don’t usually feel the loss acutely. I’ve mostly learned to live without it.

Skipping a stop at procreation station

Trudging to Walsh in the whistling wind and biting cold, I fantasized about the wonders spring would bring: blooming trees, afternoons studying on Copley Lawn and my parents’ incessant nagging to find a man and have a baby, already.

The Kite Could Use More Slack

If sex is a metaphor for the interaction between author and audience, the abridging of literature means ending the sex too early for the writer’s taste, leaving him frustrated as the pleasured audience rolls over and goes to sleep.

The future of theater at Georgetown

As you walk into the new Royden. B. Davis, S.J. Performing Arts Center it is impossible not to be taken aback by the wide-open spaces, long white-tiled halls, and state-of-the-art theatrical equipment. The new space mirrors the vast expansion of the theater program at Georgetown in the past year. At the heart of this expansion is the completion of the Center.

GU’s STI: Sexually Transmitted Ignorance

The fact that Georgetown does not offer free STI screenings compromises the overall sexual health of the campus and sends the message that Georgetown is not concerned with its students’ health.

Are internships worth it?

Your job, your future: Keeping your fingers crossed

If you stopped a random sample of Georgetown students in Red Square and asked them about their employment plans for the summer, chances are that very few would respond by excitedly telling you about their full-time waitressing gig at Applebee’s or nannying job for the next-door-neighbors.
