Football loses opening-day nailbiter

SPORTS BY GEORGE TARNOW The Georgetown Hoyas, and most of the 2,406 fans in attendance, were looking for revenge when they met the Colgate Raiders this past Saturday in the season opener on Harbin Field. Revenge was in the cards until the Raider struck with six seconds left in the game, and stole a victory, 20-19.

This charming band

I’ve never met a person who isn’t at least a closet fan of the Cure’s great pop music moments. It’s almost impossible not to love songs like “Friday I’m in Love,” or “Boys Don’t Cry,” or, of course, “Just Like Heaven.” Each is a masterful pop achievement that combines the perfect mood of melancholic longing with appropriately sentimental lyrics.

DPS should patrol off-campus

Crime has recently hit closer and closer to home for Georgetown students. Just three days ago, a student entered her home on 33rd Street to find two strangers rummaging through her purse.

VOICES BY DAVE STROUP This Tuesday signified a landmark victory for copyright integrity and intellectual property security worldwide.

By night, she was one of the nation’s most wanted music pirates.

Metro’s NFL woes

“Pay up, or else,” is the message that Metro is sending to the National Football League regarding special service for last week’s NFL Kickoff celebration. So far, the NFL has refused to pay a $57,000 bill for expanded services to accommodate fans heading to the National Mall.

Letter to the Editor

I find it ironic that Dave Stroup’s Sept. 4 article “D.C. on Speed” appears in the same issue as an article regarding an injury to a fellow student due to a careless and speeding driver (“Student hit by Mercedes SLK,” News). While I take issue with Stroup’s factually and legally unfounded assertion that Attorney General Ashcroft is hiding “cameras in smoke detectors,” it is his closing editorialization-”the system is flawed”-that is inappropriate in a news article.

Correction

In “A boathouse at last?” (Cover, Sept. 4), the statement, “Various planning and historic preservation groups, such as the Old Georgetown Board, the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, the Georgetown Waterfront Commission and the National Capital Planning Commission, gave their enthusiastic approval to the boathouse plans,” is incorrect.
