Fear of a Brown planet?

On Saturday night, while most Georgetown students were gearing up for yet another night of over-crowded, dimly-lit parties that could only end in beer stains and hangovers, they were missing a truly unique performance in the ICC Auditorium. ArthArts, a theater troupe dedicated to bringing South Asian and South Asian-American experiences to the stage, put on an enjoyable show called Shades of Brown.

The Sports Sermon

Unexpected lessons

Unlike many of my peers, I am not a member of the Catholic Church. Also unlike many of my peers, Georgetown’s Catholic identity had no bearing on my decision to study here?I came to Georgetown because I wanted to pursue a degree in American Studies in the nation’s capital, and Georgetown provided the opportunity for me to do so.

Behind prison walls

Two evenings a week, groups of Georgetown students leave the campus in vans like many other volunteers from the University. However, these vans make a shorter trip than most. After crossing the Key Bridge, it is a mere five-minute trip down Wilson Boulevard to their destination.

Not French

Sitting on my couch watching M2 these past few months, I have become increasingly disgruntled with the new vanguard of indie-rock starlets. It seems that every five minutes some new mop-topped, Prada-sporting cakeboys are poised to “save rock ‘n’ roll as we know it” and usher in the neo-Lou Reed, post-Seattle sound.
