Bourke-White exhibition shows the unexpected

You’ve seen her photos before. The picture of Gandhi sitting by his spinning wheel, those snapshots of DC-4s traveling high above Manhattan or the one of a female photographer kneeling on a skyscraper gargoyle. That last one’s actually not a picture she took, but a picture of her.

Kickin’ it with Cody ChesnuTT

Donray Von, the cousin-turned-manager of rocker Cody ChesnuTT, sat silently backstage at a table eating buffalo wings an hour before ChesnuTT was to perform at the Birchmere in Alexandria, Va. earlier this month. The Birchmere’s promoter sat down on a couch next to the table and talked with Von for a few minutes.

Students protest, counter protest at French embassy

College Republicans from Georgetown University and American University clashed with members of Georgetown Peace Action at a protest in front of the French embassy last Thursday.

The rally, planned by the College Republicans to protest France’s refusal to support war with Iraq, was interrupted by chants of “Listen to France, give peace a chance” and “Drop Bush not Bombs,” as about a dozen members of Georgetown Peace Action held a simultaneous counterprotest in support of France’s decision to oppose military action in Iraq.

Free and anonymous

Unfortunately for students, on-campus HIV testing is neither cheap nor anonymous. Currently, the Student Primary Care Clinic does offer testing, but a recently proposed plan would have made it both free and anonymous for students.

The Sports Sermon

There are many reasons why the Bengals should pass on Carson Palmer, first and foremost being that he’s a pretty boy. Second, the Heisman curse is bound to continue for this guy if the Bengals pick him up.

Letter to the Editor

As members of Advocates for Improved Response Methods to Sexual Assault (AFIRMS), we applaud the Georgetown Voice for its endorsement of our proposed changes to the sexual assault policy. The editors have clearly examined our reports carefully with the interests of students in mind.
