After a succession of years which saw a dearth of quality independent films, but a plethora of the usual Hollywood dreck, 2001 saw a comeback of sorts for cinema. Propelled by foreign offerings and a number of great Hollywood flicks, this year saw some of the most ambitious films in recent memory.

It was a tough Christmas break for us here at the Sermon going home and hearing questions from our “friends” like:
“Sweetney had how many points against Virginia?”
“Did UCLA get 20 bonus points at the beginning of the game because of your ugly blue uniforms?”
“Miami just won the FOOTBALL championship, but they beat you in BASKETBALL?”
“What’s this I hear about some guy named Herve?”
Yes, the battered and bruised Hoyas lost four straight over break, including two against mid-level Big East teams and will face last year’s Big East Champion, Boston College, in Boston on Saturday.

The Hoyas came out swinging against Rutgers University on Jan. 6, at one point holding an 18-point lead in the first half.

In a way, Sept. 11 froze the University in time and helped devalue most other occurrences on campus. And though it would be wrong to say that, as we enter a new year, that these tragic events will not continue to have a major impact on this campus, it would also be wrong to shortchange important events.

I swore off Tommy Girl because the scent caused me great humiliation?romantic humiliation?my sophomore year of high school. It was during the last 10 minutes of a varsity basketball game at my school when the embarrassing incident took place. Knowing that my Romantic Interest had left the gym for a Sprite, I made the stragetic decision to walk across the gym floor, towards the girls’ bathroom?the intersection was precise.

Desperate times have come to Georgetown University.
As students everywhere return from an abbreviated end of semester break, we are confronted with difficulties both old and new. Unfortunately, the old problems? huge lines at the bookstore, Jamaican jerk pork at New South, off-campus rent payments, arduous and unsuccessful textbooks searches and the like?somehow seem worse this year than they have in previous ones.

I saw them as soon as I sat down. They were just one row in front of me and across the aisle. South Asian, maybe? Pakistani? They spoke in hushed voices in a language I couldn’t readily identify. What I could hear of their whispers didn’t sound like Arabic but might have been Pashto or Dari or Urdu.
