March for justice, says Jackson

The Reverend Jesse Jackson urged Georgetown students to engage in “massive, non-violent” action by joining the March to Justice on Friday. The march is partly in response to the U.S. Department of Justice’s “closed door” policy towards Iraq.

Jackson’s Rainbow/PUSH Coalition is organizing the march, with the support of members and leaders from the NAACP, NOW, League of United Latin American Citizens and other groups.

City on the Hill

It seems we may have moved into some sort of a time warp. Voters across the nation woke up Tuesday morning, went to their local polling precincts and learned the results later that evening or read about them the next day. But things were different in the District: While we know who probably didn’t win the Democratic mayoral primary, we don’t know who did.

It’s a campus, not a prison

In a misguided attempt to make campus safer, the University has attempted to increase security by implementing a 24-hour lock down policy at all dorms. This means that students’ GOCards only allow them access to the building in which they live. Last year’s policy stated that students with a valid Georgetown ID could enter any dorm between 8:30 a.

DPS, spread your wings

The D.C. City Council is scheduled to vote next week on a bill that would allow extended cooperation between campus police and the Washington Metropolitan Police force. The bill would potentially allow the Department of Public Safety to extend its patrol to areas outside of campus that are heavily populated by students, such as Burleith and West Georgetown.

Unfriendly borders

Exactly one year after the attacks of Sept. 11, the federal government has inaugurated a new, more stringent system for screening immigrants at some ports of entry to the United States. Immigration agents must now fingerprint and photograph foreigners who fit certain criteria for potential terrorist activity, criteria that the Justice Department refuses to disclose.

The benefits of a full-on homestay

I was supposed to leave for England later this month in order to begin a year abroad at St. Peter’s College, Oxford. Yes, I was mere weeks away from gowns, tea, cake, cloudy weather and all of the other attendant debauchery of the U.K. experience when I made my decision to cast it all aside in favor of other pursuits, the first of which is a few weeks abroad at a little place called my parents’ house in Denver.

Ben’s Chili Bowl: A Taste of the Real Washington?

Upon reading your year-opening spread on leisure in D.C. (“New in Town?” Aug. 22), I became a bit disenchanted. Although eye-opening and consistent in format, many of the paragraphs written about local venues were written from an angle often less taken.

Georgetown Professors Comment on the World

Your mom called. She asked if you have a Professor Maguire; she saw him on CNN today. While you might remind your mom that there are hundreds of professors at Georgetown, her question is not completely unfounded. With the high number of media appearances Georgetown professors make each week, chances are at some point during your time at Georgetown you will find one your professors quoted in a newspaper or appearing on TV.

She works hard for the money

Have you ever had a real job? I mean, an honest-to-goodness clock-in-clock-out here’s-your-company-polo-shirt job? I don’t think you have. I’m disappointed in you. I was hard-pressed to put my finger on it at first. We all look pretty similar. Yet still, I found some subtle difference between myself and most of the people I knew back in the day?high school?and my new companions.

Requiem for The Madness

The infectious strain of Nicely Nicely Johnson’s solo from Guys and Dolls wafts haphazardly about the dusty attic of my addled thoughts. Driving nine hours straight. I cough uncontrollably for 15 seconds, gasping for breath and frantically searching my pockets for my inhaler.

The Sports Sermon

By the time you read this, the Oakland A’s may have won their 20th straight game, an American League record and the first streak of its kind since the 1947 New York Yankees. After a tumultuous offseason that featured the A’s losing their star and leader Jason Giambi, leadoff hitter Johnny Damon, closer Jason Isringhausen and rookie of the year candidate Eric Hinske, the A’s were given up for dead.

I’m like a bird

The sign on the wall said, “Why gamble with your money, when you can gamble with your life?” At first it seemed a bit absurd to me, but then again I was in Vegas, a few hundred dollars in the hole. At 3 a.m., standing on the floor of the Venetian Hotel, what once was a crazy idea that I had shrugged off several times before suddenly started to seem a lot more plausible.

What’s your f-f-fantasy

There are 45 seconds left on the clock and the Philadelphia Eagles are up 52-14 on the New York Giants. The G-men have the ball at their 20-yard line. The offense steps onto the field against the Eagles third-string defense. Why am I so intrigued? Why do I refuse to change the channel to a more competitive game? Because I have Jeremy Shockey, the Giants tight end, on my fantasy football team and he needs only 10 more yards to put him over 100 yards receiving for the day: 100-plus yards means big points for my fantasy football team.
