Black Cat: A changing club with a changing scene in a changing city

In daylight, the corrugated steel shutters of 1811 14th Street NW are as unassuming as any closed-for-business city storefront or locked-down warehouse. The only feature setting the building slightly apart is the plainly-lettered black and white sign hanging above the main entrance that reads BLACK CAT.

Spiraling beyond the spread

With a nervous tapping foot, I couldn’t take it any longer. In the middle of a movie I got up and left the theater, allegedly to use the bathroom. Leaving my seat, palms sweaty with anticipation, I pulled out my phone while jogging down the steps. As soon as I was in cell phone- range, I dialed a friend and demanded he check the score of the Cornell vs.

Speaking out for Change

COVER BY KAZUO OISHI Last Saturday March 27, Gaelan Gallagher (CAS ‘06), like many Georgetown students, went to a costume party on 37th Street. The party was crowded, the music was loud, and people were enjoying themselves. At approximately 1:00 am, the main room was packed so that people could hardly move.

Going for Glory

COVER BY CAMERON SMITH It is 5:45 a.m. when the alarm sounds, and Brad Kuntscher (CAS ‘05) rolls over to momentarily ignore its incessant screeching.

COVER BY SHANTI MANIAN The country’s oldest Catholic university has been conducting research on aborted fetal cell lines for several years. What might surprise you is that this research has been sanctioned by several Catholic bioethicists and even Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, leader of the Archdiocese of Washington. While the president of the United States struggles with questions of stem cells and cloning, Georgetown University Medical Center has become embroiled in a 25-year-old debate.

The Flower Cartel

COVER BY CAMERON SMITH The scene is entirely too familiar to anyone who has been on a date in Georgetown: Two people are sitting at a table, chatting politely and enjoying their meals or a glass of wine, when a stranger ambles up to their table. Wearing a suede or leather jacket and armed with a wicker basket of roses, the new guest politely gestures and asks if one would like “a flower” for their companion.

Googling Love: Online dating exposed

COVER BY KIM RINEHIMER The rendezvous was altogether different from what I was used to seeing on the TV show “Blind Date,” except for the fact that I had never met him. Trying to remember the face I had seen in the photo, I examined the people inside the window and dug my mittened hands deep into my pockets.

Fighting for the spotlight

COVER BY KAZUO OISHI Paul Hughes has a new toy. The HOG III lighting board controls an entire lighting system comprised of two “studio spot” units and two “studio color” units, but it looks more like a computer console in Star Trek. Two touch-screens rise above an assortment of dials, switches, slides and rollers.
