“Creative expression is ageless”

I enjoyed spending time with reporters Chris Norton and Mary Katherine Stump during last weekend’s Georgetown Independent Film Festival-an annual venue celebrating creativity, originality and uninhibited personal expression.

After Isabel, mixed results

Women’s soccer (2-5-0)

The Hoyas continued to bounce back from a shaky start to the season by shutting out the host Syracuse Orangemen 2-0 for their second straight win. Though Syracuse st a strong tempo, Georgetown struck first. Senior Courtney Schaub scored off first-year Chrissy Skogen’s corner kick 31 minutes into the first half.

RJD2 revealed

Hip-hop’s underground rattled when rapper El-P ever so bluntly declared on his acclaimed solo debut last year, Fantastic Damage: ” Signed to Rawkus? I’d rather be mouth fucked by Nazis unconscious.” Rawkus Records, the home of late-90s landmarks Soundbombing, Mos Def and El-P’s group Company Flow, was losing its grip on the ” it” label for underground hip-hop.

Fantasy Land

This is my sixth year playing fantasy football. It’s getting out of contol. This year, I’m in four fantasy football leagues. I’m hooked, and I might need help.

For those of you unfamiliar with the term “fantasy football,” it’s time to get familiar. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be in charge of a team of superstars, or ever yearned for a new outlet to talk trash, fantasy football is for you.

Moving one step forward towards absolution, University officials met with an architectural firm yesterday to begin the process of redeveloping the space left vacant when the University’s main cafeteria moved from New South to the newly constructed Rev. Leo J. O’Donovan, S.J. Dining Hall.

‘Cat celebrates

If you went to Georgetown ten years ago, you would have just traded in your acid-washed jeans for plaid flannel shirts, and would be rocking hard to Nirvana. If anything, Georgetown today is more Avril than Kurt; the only plaid on campus exists in the form of miniskirts.

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.
