Latvian president advocates trans-Atlantic alliance

Vaira Vike-Freiberga, the president of Latvia, advocated the necessity for a stronger trans-Atlantic partnership in a speech on Tuesday.

“The shattering terrorist attacks have put partnership in a new perspective,” Vike-Freiberga said. She noted that any country’s security can be threatened at any time, so it is no longer possible for any one country to be self-sufficient.

Students need effective leaders for the Georgetown University Student Association—ones who don’t just promise change, but who can advocate and deliver tangible results. Our most effective advocates next year would be Kaydee Bridges (SFS ‘03) and Mason Ayer (SFS ‘03).

Students demonstrate against economic sanctions

As students walked to and from class yesterday afternoon, they were forced to detour around the ten or so bodies of their fellow students lying “dead” in Red Square. Every 15 minutes, another student would “fall dead,” clutching a sign proclaiming: “I am not Saddam Hussein” or “Lift the economic sanction NOW.

Hoyas climb over Mountaineers

Around 2:40 p.m. last Saturday afternoon, the MCI Center was enveloped in darkness, with only a handful of employees running around, lowering the baskets to the floor and cleaning up the aisles. Slowly, however, a young man strode down the hallway from the locker rooms onto the court, running one hand through his hair in distress, while the other clutched a Diet Pepsi.

The Winter Olympic games begin this Friday in Salt Lake City, and the normally dormant state of Utah becomes the focus of the world’s attention. Not since 1932 has the United States won the medal race on its home soil. In Nagano, Japan four years ago, the United States finished fifth.

So the Super Bowl’s over, what now? These are the two or three weeks of the year when I start getting work done, my roommates make video games a full-time occupation and my sports-addicted grandfather refuses to leave his house, mired in a crippling mix of withdrawal, depression and impatience.

Battle of the Sexes

There are two genders in our world: the male and the female. By and large, the male enjoys viewing sports more than the female, for the simple reason that if he can’t talk about sports effectively at a young age, he will be cast aside by the masses. A case in point of this situation: In the summer before sixth grade, when I was a hugely fat, zit-infested kid who wore striped clothing way too much and talked with a lisp, I went to a summer program geared towards really smart kids.

The Sports Sermon

Yeah, Belichick made the right decision in starting Brady. In the biggest sports’ upset of our lifetime, the 14-point underdog New England Patriots defeated the obelisk of offensive efficiency that was the St. Louis Rams. Even more remarkable than the upset was that the game was fantastic.

Power in Georgetown’s Spaces

Keyes for TV success

Cable-news junkies have welcomed the latest addition to the pantheon of talking heads. Sometime Presidential candidate and full-time conservative pundit Alan Keyes is now hosting a program on MSNBC called Alan Keyes Is Making Sense. One portion of the program is devoted to a “conversation” between Keyes and several guests, supposedly “regular folks” plucked from the District’s streets.
