‘One Acts’ offer quick, dirty theater

“Because television sucks” is the slogan for Mask & Bauble’s Donn B. Murphy One Acts Festival this year. But even if you don’t want to watch television that sucks, decent actors trying to pull off plays that suck may not be enough to draw you off the couch.

Georgetown’s New Cookbook

Trying to fill the gap between home cooking and a steady diet of Hot Pockets, two new cooking groups and a television show have been created at Georgetown over the last few semesters, .

Kickin’ it in the badlands

I think my erudite and well-read English professor should start pronouncing Gustav Flaubert’s name in a cheap, Americanized fashion: Flaw-burt. He should continue his French literary name-dropping as usual but just mispronounce Flaubert’s name on purpose: Bordieu, Foucault, Sartre, Flaw-burt.

Spending responsibly

Vice President for Student Affairs Juan Gonzalez is no stranger to budgeting crises. Gonzalez was asked to come to Georgetown at a time when the University was making historic financial changes. Yet Gonzalez has made questionable additions to Student Affairs while neglecting valid student needs.

Analyze this: Hoyas vs. Irish
