Letters to the Editor

Abortion satire “fell short” I just wanted to write to express my disappointment at the section on Pro-Life fliers in the Leisure section (“Coat hangers & pacifiers,” p. 11, April 10). I appreciate the attempt at humor and satire, but I think it fell a bit short.

Hoya golf takes 3rd at Big East

Support the court

The Bush administration refuses to join the International Criminal Court, which was officially founded last month and selected Luis Moreno Ocampo as its first prosecutor this week. Though the war in Iraq has eclipsed this issue, the International Criminal Court remains pertinent.

Correction

In “GUSA passes sex assault resolution unanimously,” (p. 6, April 10), Kate Dieringer should been attributed as NHS ‘05, not CAS ‘04.

Yee-haw, kids-sports roundup!

Men’s Lacrosse-The No. 6 Hoyas defeated Mount St. Mary’s on Wednesday 12-5. Georgetown opened a 3-0 lead in the game’s first five minutes and never looked back. After Mt. St. Mary’s netted two goals to cut their deficit to 4-2, the Hoyas went on the offensive looking to close the door early.

Poker Playa

“Listen, here’s the thing.? If you can’t spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table, you are the sucker.”

Poker, a game that separates the men from the boys. I got hooked on it sophomore year at Georgetown. With my regular crew of six or seven friends, we all matured as players during those weekly six- to 10-hour marathon sessions in Village B.

Scientology and you, minus your money and soul

Sick of the same old boring God? Communion wafers just not as tasty as they used to be? Tired of having to mutilate your genitals? Maybe it’s time for a new religion. Or maybe it’s time to give Scientology a try. With the Founding Church of Scientology located in Dupont Circle, finding an illogical credo to blindly adhere to is as easy as ceasing to question your better judgement.

GUSA passes sex assault resolution unanimously

The GUSA Assembly unanimously passed a resolution on Tuesday calling for drastic reform to Georgetown’s disciplinary disclosure policy and sexual assault categorization. The resolution was proposed by Luis Torres (CAS ‘05) and Advocates for Improved Response Methods to Sexual Assault (AFIRMS).

Sleep with the Voice

Hi, we’re the Voice. You know, a lot of people think that once you get your own campuswide newsmagazine it’s really easy to get lucky. Well, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, the only one of us who’s getting any cookie at all is Dave Stroup, and that’s just ’’cause he’s a well-hung stud.

The Sports Sermon

Let’s play Around the Horn, except without ESPN’s Max Kellerman, who looks like a 15-year-old straight out of juvey. And we’ll also do without the marginal sportswriters from arbitrarily selected newspapers. (“Random dude from Milwaukee Journal Sentinal: What do you think about Kobe? What? Sorry, YOU’RE MUTED!!!”) Wow, that show sucks.
