Dramabad Zinda-great

Gaston Hall was charged on Saturday night with a level of energy and pride one seldom experiences at theatrical events on campus. The first annual Dramabad Zindabad, a showcase of South Asian-American performing arts, had just begun, and the sense of accomplishment was nearly palpable.

Intriguing idea goes astray on soundtrack

Following in the tradition of such bizarre soundtracks as those of Spawn and Judgement Night, the Blade II soundtrack features pairings of artists who would never work together otherwise. Also in the tradition of those two soundtracks, Blade II is awful. After the wannabe-Bond-music “Theme from Blade,” the album gets down to business with “Cowboy,” featuring Eve and Fatboy Slim.

Finding a place in Asian-America

I hail from the Los Angeles megalopolis, a region renowned for its Californian sunshine and super-sized East Asian population. While in high school, I used to detest this sad fact. No, I did not have yellow fever, and the Asian-American youth scene was rather despicable.

Ending on a positive note

Second semester senior stress? Is this actually happening? It’s always been ingrained into my head that second semester seniors and stress went together like Georgetown men’s basketball and the NCAA Tournament. Seniors told me last year that no one studies second semester, no one worries, no one stresses and everyone just kicks back with a beer or 10, ticking off the days until graduation.

Black Hoyas too: a collection of voices

“I remember a time earlier this semester, I was talking to another kid and he happened to be Caucasian and I was telling him the taxi cab situation in D.C. is horrendous,” said Robert Wingate-Robinson (MSB ‘03). “A lot of times I had to have one of my white friends come out and stand there and catch the cab and then I jumped into the cab. It’s crazy. He had a hard time believing that the situation was that bad … That lack of knowledge keeps a gap in between the majority and the different minorities [at Georgetown].” Wingate-Robinson’s difficulty in catching a cab is nothing new to D.C.?African-Americans have had the problem for years. But, like many issues facing black students at Georgetown, it is news to many non-minority students. The problem of a knowledge gap regarding black life at Georgetown actually starts well beyond the Healy Gates.

Well it’s no ‘Sweetney’ 16 …

The Sweet 16 will commence tonight with four games and although I am immensly unqualified to predict anything …

I figure we should start out West, because that’s the only regional that definitely won’t be won by a No. 1 seed. Perennial chokers Cincinnati lost to the UCLA “We’re really much better than a No.

Letter to the editor

If cities truly exist to “poison and mar their surrounding environment,” as they do according to Ian Bourland, then the question “Why rate a city?” in his diatribe “Philadelphia does not deserve to live” (March 14, 2002) quickly becomes all the more puzzling.
