A two-state solution

As an incoming first-year student at Georgetown and an active Israel supporter, I had heard a lot about the debate over the Israel issue on campus. The things I had heard labeled Georgetown an anti-Israel campus and even anti-Jewish in some respects. As such, I was nervous when I arrived on campus, but I was equally eager to get involved with Georgetown’s pro-Israel and Jewish student groups.

Housing crisis averted?

This morning, Georgetown students received an e-mail announcing that, regardless of what the Office of Housing Services office told them last year, they now have four years of guaranteed on-campus housing.

Atlas batted?

Kobe!

It’s so nice to see you again. How was your summer? We’re so glad that you didn’t make that trip to Indianapolis that everyone was talking about at the end of last year. Everyone thought that taking that class would be an easy A, but instead GPAs got busted like Ike Hilliard’s shoulder.
