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.

GU experts: Six months after 9-11

Reflecting on six months since the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Georgetown experts agree that the political, security and ethical issues surrounding the attacks have reinforced important issues of international relations and cross-cultural communication on campus without changing the fundamental issues previously discussed.

Folk dancers brighten dour days

Despite the gloomy drizzle outdoors as of late, inside the Walsh Black Box, there’s a fiesta?literally. What else, then, to better welcome these early spring showers than Ballet Folkl?rico Mexicano de Georgetown’s annual Fiesta Mexicana. Complete with brightly hued costumes, gleaming swords and blaring mariachi music, the BFMG gracefully steps, twirls and kicks away any thoughts of a soggy evening.

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.

Death and Dismemberment overtake 9:30 Club

Despite the dismal imagery that accompanies death and dismemberment, when both hit the 9:30 Club, as they did Tuesday night, there’s nothing of the sort. Add some Cex to the mixture, and you’ve got the makings of the next Evil Dead movie?or, maybe just a relucant indie band and some hometown pop-rockers trying to fool their unsuspecting admirers.

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.
