BZA completes its role in 10-Year Plan process

On March 5, the Board of Zoning and Adjustment formalized its rejection of the Georgetown University revised 10-Year Campus Plan. The BZA decided instead to adopt a plan consisting of the University’s revised plan plus an appendix of conditions. These conditions were previously suggested in the original BZA order issued last March.

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.

Hoyas miss postseason for the first time since 1975

“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.

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.

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.

Knock Tyson out of D.C.

Sadly, the D.C. Boxing and Wrestling Commission voted unanimously at Tuesday’s public hearing to grant former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson a license to fight in Washington, D.C., which may result in a June 8 bout between Tyson and current champion Lennox Lewis at the MCI Center.

Folk dancers brighten dour days

Despite the gloomy drizzle outdoors as of late, inside the Walsh Black Box, there’s a fiesta?literally. What else, then, to better welcome these early spring showers than Ballet Folkl?rico Mexicano de Georgetown’s annual Fiesta Mexicana. Complete with brightly hued costumes, gleaming swords and blaring mariachi music, the BFMG gracefully steps, twirls and kicks away any thoughts of a soggy evening.

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.

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.

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.

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.

An illusory love

I find it unfortunate that in recent issues of this Catholic university’s newsmagazine, the only pieces dealing with Catholic issues have shallowly criticized its teachings. Catholicism has a tremendous amount of truth, peace and splendor to offer. Before going any further, I hope it is not presumptuous to assume that the students and professors that come to study and teach at this Catholic institution of higher education do so voluntarily, much like the adherents of Catholicism freely choose to practice that religion.

Knowing better

Every so often, my father will tell this story from high school: He broke his arm pole-vaulting without a mat. After he had the cast removed, he decided to pole-vault again?without a mat. He broke his other arm. Each time I hear this story, I ask myself several questions: Why did he want to pole-vault? Why did he do it without a mat? Wasn’t there anyone else around who thought pole-vaulting without a mat was unsafe? Why does Dad tell this story when it makes him look dumb? The question that I find most perplexing is this: Why do people repeat actions that have failed in the past? Almost everyone does it.

In defense of Philadelphia

I’ve noticed a disturbing trend in the sports section of the Voice. In the past month, two articles have not only criticized the sports fans in my hometown, the most passionate city in the United States, but also have used the conduct of these same fans as an excuse to bash the city where our own Constitution was written in the long, hot summer of 1787.

Butter has made us fat

In the end, we lamented that we hadn’t just gone to some boring Georgetown party with a boring keg of Rolling Rock and boring plastic cups, where we would have talked to some boring companions. Instead, we got just what we had wished for. One Wednesday evening, my friend Sean Kulkarni entered the New South restroom to wash his hands before dinner.
