Looking for a futbol fix?

Soccer is immaculate. It’s a sport that combines strategy and physical prowess to such an extent that it becomes an art form-the only art form capable of igniting drunken pub fights and reviving latent country rivalries.

Election commission combats negative campaigning

When the clock strikes 12:01 a.m. on October 2 a new Georgetown University Student Association campaign season will be inaugurated. If it’s anything like the last, it will be four days of cutthroat flyer-hanging, poster-making, hand-shaking and, perhaps, even name-calling.
