• In our cover story, Anna Bank writes about a college in D.C. that counts Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius and outgoing Dean of Georgetown College Jane McAuliffe among its alums.  And you’ve probably never even heard of it.  Take a look inside Trinity Washington College.
• DPS officers are going to be packing a little more of a punch in a few days, Juliana Brint reports, and by punch, I mean mace and batons.  (Whoever can guess what the Ed Board thinks about this wins a big shiny penny.)
• In teenage relationships, the average time that the relationship lasts after sex is introduced is two weeks.  Or at least, that’s what Miss Wisconsin told Molly Redden during her Catholic high school’s abstinence-only sex ed.
• Their “bats are coming alive“: Hoya softball knocked off two on Tuesday and Wednesday, Tony Francavilla reports.
• Sonnet Gaertner spent the week taste-testing all the veggie burgers in the Georgetown area so you don’t have to.
• The Ed Board gives GUSA Pres Pat Dowd and VP James Kelly a tip of the hat and a wag of the finger, all in the same ed!  And they said it couldn’t be done!

Until next week, you know where to find it.

According to MSNBC, Davidson is paying for their students to go to the third round of the NCAA tournament in Detroit this weekend. This includes free transportation to the game, lodging, and tickets.

Would no one come to the game if they don’t do this? Georgetown student tickets are pretty hard to come by for the tournament unless you’re a season ticket holder. Yet still people find a way to get to the game which usually includes a cross-country road trip, sleeping on a questionable floor, and making nice with the scalpers. Where there’s a will there’s a way.

Maybe I’m just jealous, but I think there’s something special about student initiative to go out of your way, on your own budget, to support your team. No matter how upset those Davidson kids are going to be if they lose on Friday, at least it won’t be on their own dime.
