Photo realism

I can’t seem to find words eloquent enough to describe the emotions I felt a year and a day ago. Perhaps some of you can’t, either.

City on the Hill

It seems we may have moved into some sort of a time warp.

Where are we GOing?

Finally, there would no longer be a need to carry a separate laundry card, printing card and ID card, to get a stick-on barcode to check out books from the library, and to use a University ID number, which happened to be most people’s social security number, for Munch Money purchases.

Georgetown Professors Comment on the World

Your mom called. She asked if you have a Professor Maguire; she saw him on CNN today. While you might remind your mom that there are hundreds of professors at Georgetown, her question is not completely unfounded.

Wanted: police protection

On Sept. 25, thousands of protesters are expected to flock to the District to protest the latest round of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings.

She works hard for the money

Have you ever had a real job? I mean, an honest-to-goodness clock-in-clock-out here’s-your-company-polo-shirt job? I don’t think you have. I’m disappointed in you. I was hard-pressed to put my finger on it at first. We all look pretty similar.
