SafeWalks to restart Friday

The Georgetown University Student Association plans to restart the SafeWalks program this weekend, which will provide student escorts between the hours of 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. SafeWalks was begun in response to student concerns about safety last fall, but was inactive during the spring semester.

GUSA campaigns marked by racial prejudice

The new first-year representatives for the Georgetown University Student Association were announced Tuesday night after an election process described by the election commissioner as especially difficult.

“It was really dirty,” said Dan Monico (CAS ‘06) and Mike Barrett (CAS ‘06) in reference to the four-day-long campaign process and election that ended Tuesday night.

Quinn keeps on scoring

First-year field hockey forward Jessica Quinn looks like a woman on a mission when she takes to the field. She stares down the opposition and seems to run right through other players to reach the ball. So it comes as no surprise that she leads the Georgetown field hockey team in points and goals for the season.

Moving Down the Ladder

The statistics indicate that this year’s first-year class has, once again, outdone us. Its members are smarter, more worldly, were busier in high school, logged more hours of community service, scored higher on standardized tests and, from the looks of it, might even be better looking.

Band hits campus, campus hits bottle

If you didn’t make it to the O.A.R. concert on Friday night in McDonough Gymnasium, it’s likely that one of your friends did. In fact, that friend probably called you from his cell phone in the middle of the show and was probably standing right next to me, talking about how he was “sooooo wasted.

Giants and Cardinals will meet in the NLCS

OK baseball fans, here I am for the second week in a row, giving you the sweet and low down on the MLB playoffs. So far all of my predictions from last week have come true, so if that’s any indicator then you better listen closely to this weeks predictions as I take a look at the National League.

Flight of faith

There was a time in my life when I harbored serious disdain for those who catered to their own irrational fear of flying in airplanes. Indeed, what could be safer than an airplane? Trains derail, cars crash, pedestrians trip on curbs or get hit by said cars.

A little Love, mostly Anger

Once upon a time, there lived a lawyer who cared. Imagine: A driven, self-serving man from a privileged background makes a name for himself as a partner at a prestigious law firm, then throws it all away to serve the unfortunate and marginalized out of a run-down basement office in the shoddy part of town.

The Sports Sermon

Fie! We cannot contain our odium for the team that hails from the hamlet previously named New Amsterdam. We decry all those sportsmen donning pinstriped suits and jaunty blue caps whose arrival means the raiding of our small burh. Harvest after harvest, the blasphemous prudhommes George Steinbrenner, Brian Cashman and Joe Torre impose unfair tallage all o’er the land, pillaging our finest base-ball men for their squadron and leaving us with only a few beggared peasants with which to fill our rosters.
