Taking the stage in the ICC Auditorium, Kazuko Yamashina covered the podium with paper cranes. With the help of an interpreter, she explained that the cranes represent her dead mother, father, sister and brother, who died in the bombing of Nagasaki, Japan.

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.

A day with dad

I’ve never been much of a sports fan. Ironically enough, that’s exactly why I found myself sitting in the stands of Chicago’s Soldier Field with my dad last Sunday, watching the first round of this year’s Major League Soccer playoffs.

Ever since the 2002 World Cup, I’ve nonchalantly followed American soccer, watching games on TV and attending a few matches of Washington, D.

Improvements in Housing

How on-campus housing is distributed is an issue close to students’ hearts. Plenty of students remember the first time they saw the Village A Rooftops, or the first time they realized they absolutely needed to have a Henle single, or their depression upon moving into Darnall.

Bollywood and tradition intermingle

Rangila, the South Asian Society’s annual festival, has become no less than a phenomenon since its inception eight years ago. The show, which hits Gaston this Friday and Saturday, sold out both nights in a mere fifteen minutes, breaking not only last year’s one show record of 30 minutes, but that of virtually any other event on campus.

Impending paranoia

There are many good reasons why Hoyas should breathe a big sigh of relief after receiving the news of the expansion of the Big East conference, which will take effect in the 2004-05 season. While the addition of Cincinnati, DePaul, Louisville, Marquette and South Florida to the league will have a positive impact on the competition level of many sports Georgetown participates in, the effects will be felt most on the hardwood floors of the MCI Center.

Brunchy Bunch

Every Sunday morning, my roommates and I bake scones. By “morning” I mean 1p.m. And by “my roommates and I bake scones,” I mean they watch as I throw ingredients into a bowl, mix and bake them. We sit around the kitchen table-last Sunday until four in the afternoon-trying to pretend that we have nowhere else to be.

So Much for The City, The Thrills, Virgin

The Thrills are not another one of the garage-revivalist bands with the requisite “The” in the band title. They are a five-piece group from Dublin whose pop-rock songs unabashedly evoke The Monkees, The Beach Boys and other masters of the ‘60s craft that so galvanized the ladies.

Serving abroad

After four or five intense semesters at Georgetown, most students consider their time abroad as a time to relax while perhaps enjoying a few alcoholic beverages. While adapting to a foreign environment and immersing oneself in a foreign language is certainly challenging, the workload abroad tends to be much lighter than a semester spent at Georgetown.
