Feel my pain, but don’t smell my hair

Bright Eyes takes the stage last Sunday at the 9:30 Club. The crowd claps. The crowd looks down, stares at feet. Bright Eyes bangs out first song, lead singer Connor Oberst warbles another epic of woe and, well, more woe. Crowd claps, brushes artificially black hair out of eyes, becomes eerily silent and fixes gaze at feet.

Men’s soccer shuts down No. 11 Rutgers

The Georgetown men’s soccer team battled past No. 11 Rutgers on Saturday in front of a rowdy Homecoming crowd. The 1-0 victory boosted the Hoyas’ record to 3-4 overall and 2-1 in Big East competition.

Georgetown’s lone goal came in the 24th minute, when first-year forward Kemmons Feldman challenged a mishandled clearing pass by Rutgers senior goalkeeper Ricky Zinter and deflected it into the Scarlet Knights’ goal.

A man for all seasons

I am a great man. I’m also really good looking. Fabulous, even. I have a variety of sports jerseys and a diverse music collection. I probably know more about basketball than you, and your favorite band definitely sucks as long as Rolling Stone says so. My eyebrows are quite defined, and I’ve been complimented on them a lot.

Students propose plans for New South space

What will happen to the 35,000 square feet of space soon to be available in New South Cafeteria? A pub? A quiet study area? Based on the strong representation of students who participate in performing arts at Wednesday’s student forum, part of the new space will likely go to drama, dance and music.

Bon temps with Bonnard

There are those who will scoff at a painting simply because its subject matter is recognizable, those who will proclaim that it just doesn’t “do anything new.” Although art that breaks boundaries, like Duchamp’s “Fountain” (in actuality, an inverted urinal), are vital in the flux of artistic movements, there is more to art than pure invention.

Letter to the Editor

I disagree with Gilbert Cruz’s article questioning the reputation of Seven Samurai (“Kurosawa classic hits AFI,” Sept. 12). Kurosawa’s masterpiece deserves every bit of praise it has received over the years and belongs at the top of the film canon for any student of the medium.

Staring into the void

The conventional wisdom about Georgetown is simple: We’re a bunch of overambitious, self-important tools, willing to do anything to get ahead. Jason Ryan (MSB ‘04) and John Menzel (CAS ‘04) don’t buy that for a second. As far as these two students are concerned, this campus should be every bit as laid-back, apathetic and downright indifferent as any other campus, and it’s this slacker Weltanschauung, bubbling under this campus like barely-restrained Mount St.
