Celebrating the return of irony

After Sept. 11 2001, one pundit claimed that the stark presentation of good (courageous firefighters) versus evil (you know who), and its rude reminder of that seemingly forgotten but rather grave matter of “life and death”, brought to America “the end of the age of irony.

NEWS BY ROB ANDERSON Maybe it was the nice weather over the three-day weekend, or maybe it was just the back-to-school excitement. But whatever it was, Georgetown students partied hard last weekend, according to members of the Student Neighborhood Assistance Program (SNAP).

Style versus substance

You’re a little hungry. What’s the first thing you think of? New South, but that was last year. This year’s first-years will never have to experience our spectacular old dining hall with its one-way-in, one-way-out door, long lines and dirty, sticky floors.

Better than nothing

You’re excited to be back on campus. You’re looking to get out, and you hear about a cheap, on-campus show of a band that you vaguely remember. What was the name of that song? “Good.” And the band name? Better than Ezra. Unfortunately, neither “good,” “better,” or “best” is an appropriate adjective for the NSO show this past Sunday in McDonough Gymnasium.

Team opens season with D.C. College Cup

The Georgetown men’s soccer team returns this season a year older and a year wiser.

“The year of experience that we got last year was vital,” said Senior defender and co-captain Carl Skanderup.

When it comes to experience, Skanderup is somewhat alone with only keeper Tim O’Hagan and midfielder David Eder returning for their senior season.
