• In our cover story, Tim Fernholz explains what the 2006-2007 Intellectual Life Report is, why you should care, and why you’ve probably never heard of it. You can read the confidential report in its entirety here.
• The Voice ed board criticizes the report’s lack of transparency. Also, Associate Professor of Theolgy Francisa Cho argues that Georgeotwn should abolish grades. Holler, Reed College!
• It’s politics time. News has the story of Hoyas campaigning for presidential candidates and Voices lets the Republicans and Democrats have at it. And it seems like the Voice editorial board has caught the Obama bug.
• Tony Francavilla previews the game against Notre Dame on Saturday.
• Shira Hecht tells why she left “House of Blue Leaves” feeling “battered, rather than contemplative.”
• Kate Mays and Juliana Brint report on GUSA’s plan to bring free copies of The New York Times, Washington Post, and USA Today to Georgetown. Finally, you’ll be able to stop stealing papers from outside freshman dorms.

Now go enjoy the long weekend.  By the Intellectual Life Report’s reasoning, you’ve probably got about 11 hours of partying to do before Tuesday classes—better get cracking.
