Middle States reaccredition report released

Representatives from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education will visit Georgetown early next week and make recommendations that will determine whether the University continues to receive federal funding.

As part of the reaccreditation process, more than 100 faculty, students and administrators participated in the drafting of a 129-page “self-study”report that critically analyzes various components of the University and represents “a significant opportunity for members of the Main Campus to reflect comprehensively on where we are and where we are going.

The Voice picks the Oscars

April showers are approaching, which also means it is that time of the year when movie buffs, fashionistas, idol worshipers, bookies, insomniacs and the entire southern half of California turn their eyes to the oncoming rush of the Academy Awards.

Black Hoyas too: a collection of voices

“I remember a time earlier this semester, I was talking to another kid and he happened to be Caucasian and I was telling him the taxi cab situation in D.C. is horrendous,” said Robert Wingate-Robinson (MSB ‘03). “A lot of times I had to have one of my white friends come out and stand there and catch the cab and then I jumped into the cab. It’s crazy. He had a hard time believing that the situation was that bad … That lack of knowledge keeps a gap in between the majority and the different minorities [at Georgetown].” Wingate-Robinson’s difficulty in catching a cab is nothing new to D.C.?African-Americans have had the problem for years. But, like many issues facing black students at Georgetown, it is news to many non-minority students. The problem of a knowledge gap regarding black life at Georgetown actually starts well beyond the Healy Gates.

Pass the eucalyptus

Those of you lucky enough to experience one of Radiohead’s fantastic U.S. shows this summer will hopefully remember the short Chinese guy who opened for the band, promising to “play some records incorrectly.” That short Chinese guy, DJ Kid Koala, proceeded to do just that, dropping a remarkable set on his trio of decks and giving thousands of rock fans a tantalizing glimpse into the world of turntablism.

M&B’s One Acts fest a pleasure

In this year’s Donn B. Murphy One Acts Festival, Mask & Bauble presents an entertaining, yet highly unbalanced evening of student artistry and creativity. First, three college juniors meet one afternoon in Invading Bessarabia, by Colin Relihan (CAS ‘02), for friendly competition at a board game, which looks suspiciously like “Risk,” in the living room of an apartment that is unmistakably redolent of Village A.

True West a true riot

by Jennifer Ernst True West, Arena Stage’s latest production, takes place in suburban L.A., near the foothills of the San Gabriel mountains, where the coyotes howl at the moon, and the men howl at their typewriters. Unwinding in two acts, the tale of brothers divided, reunited and divided again crackles with the tension between Ted Koch and Todd Cerveris, who as Lee and Austin bring Sam Shepard’s 1980 script to bruisingly physical and gut-wrenchingly funny life.

Death and Dismemberment overtake 9:30 Club

Despite the dismal imagery that accompanies death and dismemberment, when both hit the 9:30 Club, as they did Tuesday night, there’s nothing of the sort. Add some Cex to the mixture, and you’ve got the makings of the next Evil Dead movie?or, maybe just a relucant indie band and some hometown pop-rockers trying to fool their unsuspecting admirers.

Folk dancers brighten dour days

Changing the Church

A scandal has erupted among Catholic parishioners that has become a national disgrace. The Boston Globe reported Jan. 6 that the archbishop of Boston, Cardinal Bernard Law, had sheltered a pedophiliac priest rather than reporting him to the authorities. When Cardinal Law discovered that this priest had raped several boys, he simply sent him on sabbatical to Rome, the Globe reported.

The season’s over?

This past Sunday, the Georgetown Hoyas Men’s basketball team decided not to play in the National Invitation Tournament, ending its streak of 27 straight postseason appearances. Head Coach Craig Esherick said that his team initially accepted an offer but eventually declined because tournament officials could not guarantee them a home game at the MCI Center?which will host part of the NCAA Tournament?or an away game close to Washington, D.

“I didn’t want to make the decision, but I had to. I feel that it was the correct one,” said Georgetown Head Coach Craig Esherick regarding his choice not to play in the National Invitiation Tournament. “After 30 games, I clearly came to the conclusion that it would benefit us more to stay in class than to play any more games even though we’re a young team,” he said.

Doing your own job

Earlier this month, the Board of Zoning Adjustment formally required that the University agree to integrate a series of conditions into its 10-Year Campus Plan. The BZA’s controversial decision caps off almost an entire year of debate over what role this local body should have over Georgetown’s affairs.
