Small GU Failures Show Overarching Problem
Excluding dedicated members of Georgetown’s faculty, student-run organizations like GERMS and the Food Court’s Subway employees, Georgetown personnel provide students with the slowest responses to requests for aide seemingly possible by a top-tier university. This is the story of one Harbin resident:
Create a Safe Environment for Inner-City Students
Inner-city children and the inner-city schools they attend are catching the attention of many across the country. It is clear that there is a problem. Dropout rates of inner-city kids remain high. There are still many schools where graduation rates are lower than 50 percent. It is an alarming truth. More than one million students drop out every year.
E-Waste Is No Virtual Problem for Georgetown
Before Earth Week falls too far from our minds, the issue of electronic waste deserves a second look. That’s right, electronic waste: the left-over cell phones (whose drawer doesn’t contain one or two retired phones?), broken laptops (so easily shoved to the side), old TVs and over-played iPods.
Liability Lies With DPS, Not Students
First, a preface. All of the details pertaining to Saturday’s armed sexual assault in LXR were made publicly available in a public safety alert issued 11 hours after the incident; hence, nothing discussed here would be censorable under the logic that it could compromise or color an “ongoing investigation.”

Punishment Shouldn't Outlive the Sentence
Blue or red, donkey or elephant — the election is polarizing, but we can all mobilize behind the right to vote. Startling statistics demonstrate the magnitude of voter apathy in recent elections (more people cast votes for “American Idol” than for president). In 2004, celebrities like P.
CSJ: Do the Crime, Pay the Time
On behalf of the Center for Social Justice Advisory Board for Student Organizations, I would like to respond to the recent editorial regarding Blanket New Orleans (“Minor Crime, Major Time,” THE HOYA, April 11, 2008, A2).
THE HOYA Contributes More Than Just What's on the Page
You certainly see a different side of Georgetown from the fourth floor of the Leavey Center. It’s hard not to. The long nights in Leavey 421 teach those at The Hoya a lot about what it means to be student journalists.
