LGBTQ Events Take Pride in Inclusion
The drag ball on Saturday. The mute students in black shirts on Wednesday. The round of couples locking lips in Red Square today. For students on campus, this may have looked just like GU Pride’s annual Pride Week to raise LGBTQ awareness and heighten solidarity on campus. For GU Pride members, though, this week has a distinctly different feel to it.
Grilling Controversy Flares Up

Students Hope to Trash Competition in Recyclemania

Agraria Serves Up Fresh Taste From the Farm
As college students, we are used to diets of EasyMac and Ramen. When we go out to eat, we are met by a city full of fast food monopolies. It seems as if organic, straight-from-the-fields products are reserved for rural America, and we get the processed leftovers. But Agraria, a restaurant conveniently located in lower Georgetown, offers an alternative to the typical D.C. cuisine.
Relic of the Roaring '20s Declared Historic District
Most students probably haven’t noticed very much change in Foxhall Village in recent months. But Georgetown’s neighbor to the west will now be even further preserved after being named a historic residential district.
After the village, a 29-acre neighborhood south of Reservoir Road built in the style of 19th-century English cottages, won its three-year battle by concerned residents in May to be designated as a historic residential district, changes to the neighborhood’s aesthetic will by law be more difficult to arrange.
More contemporary changes to the Tudor homes, including vinyl windows and plastic doors, are some modernizations that were seen as negative additions by some residents.
