Students from Georgetown Peace Action gathered Wednesday in front of the Mortara Center for International Studies at 36 and N Streets to protest a lecture by School of Foreign Service professor Douglas Feith, due to his alleged support for interrogation techniques that some have deemed to be torture.

Not all college students took a break from the library this past Saturday. Volunteers from Georgetown, The George Washington University and Howard University, along with students and parents from River Terrace Elementary School in Northeast D.C., gathered at the school to complete various beautification projects, as well as to construct a family lending library.

Before transferring from Colgate University to Georgetown, Taylor Farmer (COL ‘09) spent six months volunteering for orphanages in and around Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (formerly known as Saigon).

Let me start off by saying that Love in the Time of Cholera is my favorite novel of all time. As an English major and writer, stating a favorite novel is like picking a favorite Ben & Jerry’s flavor: “Well, I really love ‘Americone Dream’ cause I love Stephen Colbert, but then

With the recent rush of fall premiers, many of us have been crowding around the television, somewhat guiltily, when we ought to be studying for that midterm. And with shows like “House M.D.,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “The Office” gracing the small screen, who can blame us (you know, other than our professors)?

2. “Popular Mechanics for Lovers” - Beulah
