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.

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.

Adjust your clocks to hippie time

I love Georgetown. I am not an anti-establishment whiner who doesn’t appreciate the opportunity I’ve been blessed with for four years. I don’t hate my parents. I got enough hugs. I love America, and I shower with amazing frequency. I’m a big fan of Neutrogena body wash.

A diverse requirement

On April 2, the College dean’s office issued the spring edition of The College, the online newsletter for students. An easy-to-ignore section near the top, pointed to the possibility of a major shift in the way the College approaches core requirements. Associate Dean Anne Sullivan is conducting a review of the College curriculum measuring the number of diversity-related courses offered.
