Pioneering, sans covered wagons

“There are two types of people in this world: those who love Neil Diamond and those who don’t. I don’t.”

Jenny Manno (CAS ‘03) is quoting What About Bob? and talking about her run in backstage with the pop songwriter one night two summers ago. Like most college students, she has about a million CDs and has rocked many concerts, keeping her ticket stubs in a small album and collecting T-shirts from her favorite bands.

A light rain fell on Copley Lawn Wednesday morning, forming puddles around thousands of pink and blue flags protruding from the sodden ground.

GU Right to Life put up the 3,598 flags to symbolize the number of abortions performed each day in the United States, citing the Alan Guttmacher Institute as the source for its figures.

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.

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.

Filmy buildup

While GUTV and cohorts have yet again collaborated to host the Third Annual Student Film Festival on campus, perhaps some would rather spend their lunch money on a more culturally diverse bunch of shorts-that’s short films for you uninformed folks.

This weekend Visions Cinema and Bistro Lounge will again be showing Oscar nominated short films from around the world.
