Georgetown women drop to 4-6 in Big East

The Georgetown women’s basketball team was soundly defeated Wednesday night 78-46 at Virginia Tech. The loss, which marked the return of sophomore guard Sarah Jenkins to the starting lineup, leaves the Hoyas’ record at 13-8 (4-6 Big East).

Both teams were slow out of the gate, with Georgetown falling behind early.

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

To many familiar with the men’s basketball team’s woeful season, the reasons behind the collapse are not obvious. At times the team has played as well as anyone in the country, making huge runs against quality teams like No. 7 Duke, No. 8 Pittsburgh and No.

Just four rugs?

“Excuse me, is this your child?” the waiter asked. We must have been an odd sight—an American couple dining at a Dallas family restaurant with what appeared to be a gangly six-year-old Brit. After being assured that I was not, in fact, the victim of an elaborate trans-Atlantic kidnapping scheme and that we had just lived abroad for a while, he left us alone without informing the police.

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. However, once again the University proved itself incapable of meeting student needs by denying funding for the plan yesterday.

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. Cincinnati is about as good at developing talent as they are at selling tickets, so bringing Carson into the mix is a lose-lose situation.

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.

An inexcusable mistake

On Feb. 5, students were unable to access their Georgetown University e-mail accounts for approximately 14 hours. The administration shut down GUMail in order to remove a message sent out to the University community, which contained confidential and sensitive information about three students.

He got quicks

After two and a half years in college, I’m finally a D1 Baller. No more intramurals at Yates Field House for me, I’m a real athlete now. Well, sort of. College basketball at the University College Dublin is a little different from in the States. But college ball is college ball, and over here I’m a superstar.
