“Compaq Presario … yup … 1275 … Celeron processor ? C-E-L-E-R-O-N. Yes, they still make those.” The hip technology that once made us the bees knees on campus now dates us as the older generation of students.

GU for sale

As liberal-minded, idealistic college students, many of us at Georgetown would like to say that we are wholeheartedly against the corporatization of our school. We come to university to learn and to be challenged intellectually?not to be bombarded with corporate logos and sponsorships.

Black House brings slammers to campus

Our ability to use language is one of our defining characteristics as a species. From sounds that become morphemes, morphemes that become words and words that combine to form complex narratives and dialogues, we convey our innermost thoughts and intellectual workings through language.
