Autumn in New York

What an autumn for New York sports. The New York Giants have finally gasped their last “save Fassel” breath, the Knicks and Rangers are giving Madison Square Garden fans everything they expect- high payrolls, ticket prices, and tallies in the loss column, and the most storied franchise in Major League Baseball was shocked by the up start Florida Marlins in game six of the World Series.

Fear da’ Frogs

When agitated, the horned frog can shoot venom from its eyes a shocking distance. Well, in the world of college football, some Horned Frogs are making a shocking statement of their own, with an undefeated record as their antidote-less poison. That’s right, I’m talking about the real story of college football: Conference USA’s Texas Christian University.

Interim forever?

The first semester after the Great Administrator Exodus of 2003 is nearly finished, and still it seems there’s just as many administrators with “interim” in their title as when the semester started. Plenty of administrators with “interim” or “acting” tags are in high-level positions, running departments such as the Department of Public Safety and the Office of Off-Campus Student Life.

Hip-hop, hurray!

VOICES BY SCOTT CONROY I’ve never liked rap that much. I don’t have anything against the genre, it just never resonated with me. Other than buying an MC Hammer tape in 1990, my exposure to hip-hop has been limited to what has been thrown at me on the radio and whatever my roommate is listening to at the time.

Japanese basic cable round-up

LEISURE BY SCOTT MATTHEWS Tired of lame sitcoms and lowest-common-denominator television programming? Probably not. You are their target audience, after all. But if the usual life-wasting entertainment is starting to wear thin, then clearly the only answer is to move to Japan for its rich array of quality television shows.

Finding the perfect sound

COVER BY SONIA SMITH Georgetown students aren’t all careerists, even if the University’s scarce arts facilities make it seem that way. Now, the Georgetown’s most musically talented students have a new playground: three new recording studios and the production classes of Professor Robert Fair.

Correkshuns and apolajeez

Sometimes in the insane rush to meet deadlines (that once-every-three-weeks column has a tendency to sneak up on you), mistakes have been made that should never have made it to press. For this, my editors are entirely to blame. But I will be the bigger man and accept partial responsibility for errors that I had very little to do with.

Jay-Z: the blinged-out Che Guevara

Shawn Carter-the artist variously known as Jay-Z, Jigga, Jay-Hova, Hovito, Young ‘Hov, Young, S “Dot” Carter or simply Jay-is a lot smarter than you think.

You probably know he’s one of the best rappers but don’t really understand why. You probably think he only talks about “money, cash, and hoes,” but love his style anyway.
