Give this seat to a senior

“Compaq Presario … yup … 1275 … Celeron processor ? C-E-L-E-R-O-N. Yes, they still make those.” The hip technology that once made us the bees knees on campus now dates us as the older generation of students. Once beautiful computer desktops now look gray and boxy next to the smart-looking flat screen thingamajigs that the new students have purchased.

There would be other vines

You got a urinary tract infection when you were at school. You divulge the details to me over coffee, leaning in against the edge of the table, the two top buttons of your cardigan in view. You laugh out loud because it’s been so long since you’ve talked about piss.

Barefoot and pregnant?

I am done with white girls and I am definitely done with cellulite. All I want these days is a nice down-to-earth Taiwanese girl who can make me traditional Taiwanese dinners. Is this asking for too much? I greet this question with a resounding no?I mean, packing lunches and cuisine with a more pan-Asian flavor is strictly optional (knowing how to cook up a mean dika misua may be a requisite but unagi-don or dolsot bibimbop is entirely up to her).

I’m sorry, something came up

This past weekend a group of friends and I went to see Swimfan at Union Station. As we were leaving the theater and entering the Metro station, we saw something fall in front of us, and it took me about 10 full seconds to realize that it was vomit. A guy in front of us was sprayed, looked up and shouted, “I can feel your pain, but Goddamn.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Sports Sermon

Ah, to silence the critics. There is nothing more satisfying than to defy those endless haters and analysts who think that they know sports because they speak vociferously and say, “Awesome baby!” or because they were married to Roseanne and therefore must know something about 300-pound linemen.

Beirut 101

Some call it beer pong; others refer to it as “beirizzy in the hizzy.” You can call it whatever you want, as long as you acknowledge that Beirut is the best game, ever. we ex-high school jocks can’t get enough of it. If we go one night without the feeling of that ping-pong ball on our fingertips, we get the jitters.
