Bauder at the Bat

The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the Georgetown Nine that day; The score stood 30-2 but one inning more to play. And then, when Hokies batters hit the bases full again; A sudden sickly silence fell upon the Hoya men.

For the batter was none other then Brad Bauder at the plate; He had just hit for his seventh; could he make it 8 for 8? He had shattered Big East records; one by one he watched them fall; By the eighth inning already he’d hit three over the wall!

When he stepped into the box an eerie quiet hushed the crowd; Although Bauder stood there silent, people knew his bat was loud.

Student films showcased at festival

There was no popcorn saturated in delectable globs of canola oil. There were no Sour Patch Kids to throw half-chewed at the screen in the event of boredom. And no one’s feet adhered mercilessly to a layer of slime on the floor. Instead, hosts and ushers in formal dress greeted the audience members upon arrival at the ICC Auditorium last night, for this was no ordinary evening at the movies.

Lions and tigers and lesbians, oh my!

I never thought I would go on anything called a “vac,” let alone be able to tell people so nonchalantly that I was “right next to Mozambique,” as if it were the same as saying “right next to Burger King” or “right next to that bald man in sweat pants.
