Golden Triangle Business Improvement District is having a competition to create a new piece of artwork for the entrance of the Farragut North Metro Station.

Katherine Kelly, capital projects and planning manager for the Golden Triangle BID, said the organization is in the process of improving the quality of the area in the hopes of attracting high-end retailers.

It has been over two centuries since the Revolutionary War, but the cry for “no taxation without representation” is still echoing loudly across the District.

In an effort to win voting representation in Congress, volunteers for the activist group DC Vote gathered on the Hill on Tuesday— tax day — to encourage senators to bring the D.C. Voting Rights Act up for discussion.

Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) pushed for a confluence of faith and politics during a discussion with University President John J. DeGioia Wednesday night in Copley Formal Lounge.

Pope Benedict XVI will make the first papal visit to the District in 29 years next week, and although he will not visit Georgetown, the university is preparing to welcome His Holiness.

For the past seven weeks, students walking down Potomac to M Street have encountered more of a crowd than usual. With customers spilling out the door, Georgetown Cupcake, the deliciously popular bakery that opened on Valentine’s Day, has been satisfying the town’s sweet tooth.

The members of Georgetown’s first student-run class, Sweatshops at Home and Abroad, moved the classroom to the Dominican Republic for six days over spring break, collaborating with a range of factory and agricultural workers for some field-based learning.

Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-Calif.) asserted that the government is underfunding homeland security initiatives during a speech last night in Healy Hall.

Sanchez said her background in finance as an analyst, strategic consultant and investment banker enables her to better assess the underlying issues of the security problem.
