Letter to the Editor

Rape scenes in movies make me think that everyone is insane. I have been raped and do not need to shell out $8 to watch the fantasy of violence unfold before me. I can peruse my own, very solid memories any time I feel like it, which is pretty much never. I was disappointed at Gilbert Cruz’s review of the film Irreversible (”’Irreversible’ unforgettable,” April 3), because I found it decidedly shallow and cavalier in relation to the question of rape scenes in movies.

A Sweet choice

Goldman Sachs called. They’ve heard that you’ve been doing great things in the MSB and offer you $1 million to leave Georgetown a year early and work for them. All your life you have prepared to work at Goldman Sachs, so you seriously consider their offer.

Deadbeat district

OK, this is it. I’m finally going to call up Mayor Anthony Williams and thank him for making my job as a District affairs news columnist so damn easy. Just when I think the District’s government has hit rock bottom, it takes that extra step to prove me wrong.

Applauding a bold new foreign policy

Now that the bombs are dropping, it seems that it has become (pardon my French) pass? to criticize the war in Iraq.

Operation R.O.T.C

Some students join the Reserve Officer Training Corps to serve their country. Some need the money for college. And some just want to be President someday. Today, Georgetown recruiters target students who are interested in leadership positions in the future. According to Major Jon Chytka, most cadets join ROTC with the intention of “setting themselves up for success later on.”

“Everyone, even Democrats, has had military experience,” Chytka said. “Even Bill Clinton had one year of M1 [ROTC training].”

If you’re happy and you know it

My senior year of high school I played the lead role in our spring musical, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. I’ll be the first to admit that it was one of my highest moments of dorkdom, but somehow I recovered to become the hip, suave person that I am now.

Hoyas don’t fear the turtle, win 8-4

The Georgetown baseball team left a cold and rainy Shipley Field at the University of Maryland on Tuesday with a feeling that had been lost since March 19: the thrill of victory. The Hoyas (7-20, 1-11 Big East) ended an eleven-game slide with an impressive 8-4 victory over the Terrapins behind the stellar pitching performance of senior Pat Salvitti and sophomore catcher Andrew Cleary’s power hitting display.
