Off campus, on track

COVER BY BILL CLEVELAND Expanding the University is no longer just a matter of collecting funds and drawing plans. In recent years, a stronger neighborhood voice has forced the University to take the concerns of the surrounding community to heart. Now, with 90 percent of students on campus, has a new era of town-gown relations arrived?

Editorials

Retraction

Last week’s edition of The Voice contained an editorial which criticized what we believed were ineffective modifications made to the lockdown policy (“Lockdown: a partial fix,” Sept. 11).

My man wears a gorilla suit

VOICES BY ANNE GLIDDEN Each week, one of my favorite activities is to read the “I Saw You” section of the Washington City Paper. Admittedly, it’s a rather dorky way to celebrate the passing of yet another week, but I do enjoy ordering my overpriced Evil Empire from Uncommon Grounds and cozying up with the City Paper.

Hoyas defense a no show at Holy Cross

Georgetown continued its poor start to the 2003 football season with a 42-34 loss at Holy Cross on Saturday. The Crusaders held off a late Hoyas surge in a contest which showcased the offensive abilities of both teams.

Georgetown was led by the “big three” of senior quarterback Andrew Crawford, first-year quarterback Alondzo Turner and senior wide receiver Luke McArdle.

Fakemakers

When the football season begins anew, there are always a few tweaks that follow the first few weeks. Whether its Sunday afternoons or Tuesday nights at 9 p.m., serious tweakage needs to take place.

Kurt Warner went from the comfy confines of his starting position to the familiar surroundings of checkout lane nine.

Fear mongering is my anti-drug

Like most first-years coming to Georgetown, I had a difficult time adjusting to college life. I was nervous about making new friends and being in a different environment. I was beset by problems and self-doubt; my parents had just been brutally murdered and, worst of all, I was fat.

Three points and a lot more

Besides showcasing the Tuna’s much-anticipated return to the House that Hoffa Built, Monday’s game and between the Giants and Cowboys brought professional kickers to the forefront of the national sports media.

My lifelong allegiance to the Giants prevents me from yet speaking publicly about the game itself with any shred of civility or reason.
