The Cross on the Wall

When it comes to the Catholic identity of Georgetown University, it seems that the degree of Catholicism is in the eye of the beholder. To some, Georgetown does not deserve to label itself a Catholic institution?the presence of groups such as H*yas for Choice, an abortion rights student organization, and GU Pride, a group for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender students, as well as the presence of speakers with “anti-Catholic” messages on campus disqualify Georgetown from calling itself a Catholic school.

We will win your Tournament Pool

It takes two and a half madness-filled weeks for 65 NCAA Tournament pretenders to evolve into one champion. Most likely, you’re going to be betting on who that one will be. To assist all the NCAA-poolers who think Dick Vitale is the spawn of Satan and haven’t been following as much college basketball as they should, we at the Voice have decided to provide our readers with a peek at our award-winning bracket.

Don’t push it, Esherick

I’ve covered Georgetown Men’s Basketball for The Voice for the entire 2001-02 season. I begin in this way not to insinuate that I speak from a position of greater knowledge, but simply to show everyone that I was at every MCI Center game, every Big East Tournament game and watched almost every away game in its entirety.

The Sports Sermon

Hey Hoya fans, forgive us if we’re the only ones this side of the equator who aren’t excited for March Madness, but we’re not. March Madness would be exciting if our team were in it at all, but it isn’t so don’t blame us if we’re a bit annoyed that we have to sit through a month of annoying Dicky V.

Great Hair

A survey of any sports section or sports publication in the month of March reveals an obvious trend in sports stories: predictions. This year, however, as sports writers everywhere try to forecast the Final Four, foresee the NBA and NHL champions, forebode the NFL draft sleepers and steals, and foretell the conclusion to the upcoming baseball season, I have come to a realization.

On the comedy of a century

If I were to write a novel, it would definitely be set in the 19th century. Because, as I think we can all agree, the 19th century is the most hilarious century of them all. Of course, I wasn’t the first person to figure this out; popular culture today is replete with references to this age.

Letter to the editor

It’s rare that a single off-the-court decision can end two decades of consistency, undermine the legacy of recent players, send one of the school’s best players out on a sour note, alienate fans and harm the current players’ chance for future success. Skipping the NIT manages to accomplish it all.

Kaap Stad

“Kaap Stad, brotha?” the toothless man in the window asks as the minibus slows down to the curb. “Yeah.” I hop in to the crowded taxi and fork over two-rand-fifty for the ride into town from Mowbray, my neighborhood. That’s less than 25 American cents. The vehicle is crowded, as they usually are.

Philadelphia does not deserve to live

I am one of the few, the proud transplants from the western United States to Georgetown. Upon my arrival two years ago, I was confronted with a host of perplexing new experiences: subways, stupid accents and, most amazingly, condensed travel time. The rapidity of, nay, the existence of interstate train travel allows one to traverse the Eastern Sea Board in the time it takes to drive to many of the respective state lines west of the Mississippi.
