Turnovers seal doom in game, season

SPORTS BY CAMERON SMITH When senior co-captain Matt Fronczke returned an interception 52 yards for a touchdown early in the opening quarter, it seemed Georgetown was finally back on track. For the first time in three weeks, the Hoyas had an early lead, momentum, and a reason to believe that their offense would find ways to exploit the few weaknesses in Towson’s defense.

The Sports Sermon

“If my game comes back the way it was I can help this team” – Knicks forward Antonio McDyess New York Knicks fans aren’t alone in welcoming back a superstar to their struggling team: McDyess, who has a 10-to-3 game-to-knee surgery ratio, has a lot of making up to do.

A day with dad

I’ve never been much of a sports fan. Ironically enough, that’s exactly why I found myself sitting in the stands of Chicago’s Soldier Field with my dad last Sunday, watching the first round of this year’s Major League Soccer playoffs.

Ever since the 2002 World Cup, I’ve nonchalantly followed American soccer, watching games on TV and attending a few matches of Washington, D.

Improvements in Housing

How on-campus housing is distributed is an issue close to students’ hearts. Plenty of students remember the first time they saw the Village A Rooftops, or the first time they realized they absolutely needed to have a Henle single, or their depression upon moving into Darnall.

Impending paranoia

There are many good reasons why Hoyas should breathe a big sigh of relief after receiving the news of the expansion of the Big East conference, which will take effect in the 2004-05 season. While the addition of Cincinnati, DePaul, Louisville, Marquette and South Florida to the league will have a positive impact on the competition level of many sports Georgetown participates in, the effects will be felt most on the hardwood floors of the MCI Center.

Serving abroad

After four or five intense semesters at Georgetown, most students consider their time abroad as a time to relax while perhaps enjoying a few alcoholic beverages. While adapting to a foreign environment and immersing oneself in a foreign language is certainly challenging, the workload abroad tends to be much lighter than a semester spent at Georgetown.

The residue of that feeling

VOICES BY ROB ANDERSON I never met Daniel, but I am still crying two weeks after the night he died.

Tale of a Georgetown jailbird

Languishing in jail for six hours provided me with one of the most educating and enlightening experiences of my time at Georgetown. Several weeks ago, I, along with two other students and a former Burmese political prisoner, Aung Din, was arrested at a protest in front of the Burmese embassy.

‘The Cradle’ rockxxx

LEISURE BY JULIA COOKE As 8 p.m. comes and goes, the audience gossips audibly and cast members chat among themselves onstage. Murmurs of “I’m so confused” grow louder as actors wander offstage to offer refreshments and chat with the audience. Poulton Hall has become a different kind of theater, one in which the comfort of the audience is paramount.

Lunafest promises to satisfy

This Monday in Leavey Center Conference Room, Luna Bar and the Georgetown Women’s Rugby team will hopefully show why every energy bar should have a film festival. PowerBar’s festival, for example, would stop at auto shows across the country from Detroit to Newark, screening Die Hard and Terminator and giving special honors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jean Claude Van Damme.

Bollywood and tradition intermingle

Rangila, the South Asian Society’s annual festival, has become no less than a phenomenon since its inception eight years ago.

Brunchy Bunch

Every Sunday morning, my roommates and I bake scones. By “morning” I mean 1p.m. And by “my roommates and I bake scones,” I mean they watch as I throw ingredients into a bowl, mix and bake them. We sit around the kitchen table-last Sunday until four in the afternoon-trying to pretend that we have nowhere else to be.
