Northerners deliver two snoozers

The dashing hero of a Russian romantic novel poses a question to his traveling companion: “It was the French, I suppose, who made boredom fashionable?” “No, the English,” the companion replies. Surprisingly, both were wrong. Neither the Francos or the Anglos live in a locale quite northerly enough to facilitate truly mind-numbing boredom.

Nguyen makes future look bright

While the women’s volleyball team did not make the Big East Tournament this season, the future of the team looks bright. The Hoyas already have last season’s Big East Rookie of the Year, sophomore middle blocker Sara Albert, and this year first-year outside hitter Natasha Nguyen has perfomed just as well.

Radio utopia

I figure the point of having a column is to make one’s own views available to a wider audience. Thus, shameless self-promotion is a privilege that comes with the turf. So, as a somewhat less-than-responsible music director for WGTB, Georgetown’s student run radio, I have compiled a list of the cr?me de la cr?me of student shows.

Putting the ‘bling’ back in sports gambling

I’ve had an epiphany after two and a half years at Georgetown: Kids love to gamble on sports. You may be saying “Thanks, Captain Obvious,” but the situation is becoming perilous, as nobody seems to be winning. I hear a lot of stories about kids losing $100 here, $250 there, so I’m pretty sure it’s not just my group of friends who are degenerates.

Shick family reveals sanctions in dead son’s case

The family of a student killed in a physical assault on campus two and a half years ago released yesterday the sanctions imposed on the student found responsible for the assault on their son. Unable to continue their lawsuit and upset by what they consider light sanctions on students who commit serious offenses against other students, they decided to go public with previously unreleased information.

I dreamed a little dream gone wrong

I know a lot of people that have Attention Deficit Disorder, and they are some of the most interesting and creative people I have ever met. I, however, seem to have the opposite problem. I am able to focus on incredibly boring material for long periods of time.

Instant classic

Be thankful, fair readers, for the cable gods have looked upon us with favor. I don’t mean back-to-back episodes of Trading Spaces every Saturday night. I don’t mean the all-too-overdue addition of VH1 to the Hoyanet lineup, enabling Behind the Music addicts from New South to Darnall to get their fix.

Letter to the Editor

In response to your article “Out and a Scout” (Nov. 14), I, an Eagle Scout, would like to address a few issues that were omitted. The issue of homosexual scoutmasters runs much deeper than the moral objection on the surface. For one, a scout’s parents have a legitimate objection to allowing a homosexual to have unlimited access to their boy four to six times a month, especially on overnight camp-outs.

Sunday Night Syndrome exposed

Mornings are my favorite time of day because the endless possibilities of life are upon me. I relish my first cup of coffee and sing out with the morning birds about the hopefulness that each new day brings. As the morning drifts into the afternoon and the sun moves across the sky, a sense of foreboding comes over me as I realize that the night is fast approaching.

Guard-ing student opinion

At the beginning of the school year, the administration implemented a new safety policy which restricts student access to dormitories and other campus buildings. Unlike the old policy, which allowed students to enter all residence halls with a valid Georgetown ID, the new policy restricts entrance to residents of the building.
