“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”

It’s about time that someone put their foot down on the new alcohol policy on and off-campus here at Georgetown. The University and the Metropolitan Police Department don’t understand that the new ramped-up policies set in place to “protect” the students and neighbors are actually making everything worse.

Voice needs more research on environmental rating

Will Sommer must be joking in his recent article slamming Georgetown’s new science building (“Building blues,” News, September 6). That the University would pursue a LEED rating is commendable on its own, and the fact that this building will be certfied LEED Silver makes the project all the more deserving of our support.

Southeast Safeway misrepresented

As a former Voice writer and current Southeast D.C. resident, my concern was with the portrayal of the Southeast Safeway, where I happen to shop. The experience reflected in the article is very different from my own and I get the feeling that your reporter got a distorted view of the store and the neighborhood during his or her brief stop.
