This is the last Voice before summer, so get your fill now.

• Someone jumping between two haystacks won the annual photo contest. For more pictures, check out the runners-up.
• Tim Fernholz has more developments in the Phil Cooney case.
• Georgetown Metro can’t stop, won’t stop.
• The Editorial Board commends the DC’s bike-sharing program. I’m holding out for Rosslyn-Georgetown drop boxes.
• Wanna get trashed like you’re at the Triple Crown, but unnerved by jockeys? Here’s how to do it at home.
• Georgetown art majors are graduating, so we get to judge them.
• Our softball team’s on a roll. If you look at the article’s picture, you’ll see why–that pitcher is pure rage!
• In Voices, the joys of living abroad and Voice staffers commiserate over summer love.

Just because the paper’s on vacation, however, don’t think the blog won’t be covering Georgetown and DC. The blog never sleeps!

-Will Sommer, Blog Editor

 We’re celebrators here at the Voice.  We celebrate D.C., we celebrate warm weather when it rolls around and we celebrate all things beautiful.  And we’ve mixed all three of those ingredients into our first-ever issue-length celebration of all things spring fashion.  With special thanks to some local boutiques, follow the link and check out this season’s essentials for both women and men, and look forward to seeing the hard copy on campus tomorrow.

• Less than a week before Cabaret’s opening night, Shira Hecht brings us inside the Mask & Bauble sausage factory after watching weeks of rehearsal and production.
• Mo’ money, mo’ problems: Juliana Brint brings us some mild controversy as GUSA works on doling out the $310,000 that we pay in Student Activity Funds.
• Phil Perry locates former Hoya basketball player Keny Izzo.  Izzo hasn’t given up the dream yet: he’s playing pro-ball in “The Hidden Treasure of the Yucatan Peninsula.”
• Katie Norton heads over to 2amys to see if it really deserves its illustrious reputation.  (She also tells us to stop hoarding clothes.  Seriously, people.)
• Catholic and a H*yas for Choice supporter?  Sounds crazy?  Well, not too crazy for Clare Malone.  (Did I mention it’s Choice week?)
• The Ed Board anticipates the Holy Father’s visit and tells conservative Catholics to lay off.

And that’s it for this week.  I’m off to do some homework and wait for Hulu to post the new Office episode.

• Why become a scalper? “It’s better to sell tickets than to sell crack!” How does scalping tickets worth? “Economics! Economics!” Tim Fernholz hangs out with D.C.’s friendly Verizon Center/Nationals Park scalpers and asks them these, among many other hard-hitting, questions in this week’s cover.
• Controversy: Grade A, Size D. Juliana Brint has the scoop over in News while Voices lets both GUGS and the Grilling Action Society tell their side of the story.
• Eliott Grover reviews Run, Fat Boy, Run, David Schwimmer’s directorial debut. You know—Ross from Friends.
• They may not have the best defensive field-goal percentage in the country, but they are ranked fifth. Justin Hunter Scott reports that men’s lax is taking off.
• The Ed Board reminds the NCAA what the “C” stands for.  (Hint: it’s not “corporate”.)
• I take offense to the Hoya’s annual joke issue in Voices.  Seriously.

Check out the rest here.  Until next week, friends.

• 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.

• The song Afternoon Delight is about, among other things, an appetizer from Clyde’s of Georgetown.  This and other fun facts in Jeff Reger’s cover featuring Georgetown professors Bill Danoff (the writer of Afternoon Delight) and Walter Egan, who had a hit himself with Magnet and Steel.
• Tim Fernholz is in the market for some Catholic justice, the upshot being, he says, Iraq war architect and Georgetown professor Douglas Feith has got to go.
• With the Big East Tournament underway and the Big Dance on the horizon, the Sports section is (almost) all basketball.  Tony Francavilla has a web exclusive on the beating ‘Nova took this afternoon, Phil Perry channels former Hoyas who chose to finish their four years elsewhere, Joseph Richman gives a tip of the hat to DaJuan Summers and Liz Kuebler bigs up JT III.
• Juliana Brint continues her stellar GUSA coverage as Pat is sworn in with ambitious plans for free summer housing, a new alcohol policy and lunch.  A little too ambitious, if you ask me.
• Mask & Bauble gets inside G.W. Bush’s head in the winner of their one act play contest and, Ryan May Handy says, it’s both witty and brief.  (You can buy tickets here.)
• The Editorial Board tells the National Park Service to clean up its act (and the National Mall).

I’m off to watch the second half of the Pitt-Louisville game.  It’s 31-33 right now with Pitt behind, but I smell an upset.

• Think that Iranian dissident group Mujahedin-e-Kalq should lose its classification as a terrorist group to make it easier to overthrown the Iranian government? You’re not alone, Will Sommer reports in his insightful profile of Ray Tanter, Georgeetown professor/Iranian “terrorist” group advocate/amateur tennis player.
• GUSA screwed up big time with this year’s election fiasco and the Editorial Board isn’t pleased. They also take a look back at the accomplishments of the Shaw/Appenfeller administration.
• Speaking of which, News has the scoop on when we’ll (finally) be getting those free newspapers promised so long ago.
• In the Voices section, Mike Stewart takes on Susan Jacoby, author of The Age of American Unreason, in which she “calls out our nation’s population not only for its lack of general education, but also for its arrogant disdain for everything ‘elite.’” (My money’s on Mike.)
• It’s almost time to say goodbye to departing DPS Director Darryl Harrison. But first, Tim Fernholz sat down with Harrison to chat about his departure, the state of security at Georgetown and what his successor should know.
• Sara Carothers takes us inside the newest exhibit at the Hirshhorn, “The Cinema Effect: Illusion, Reality, and Moving Image; Part I: Dreams.”
• It’s not the NFL, but it’ll do. Georgetown quarterback Matt Bassuener and wide receiver Brent Craft are heading off to the AFL2, the minor-league version of the Arena Football League, Phil Perry reports.

I am exhausted from midterms so I’m going to sleep now to be ready for my 2:45 a.m. flight on Saturday morning. Have a nice spring break everyone, and see you in a week or so.

• 9.0 points per game doesn’t come for free: in our cover this week, I look into what makes freshman Austin Freeman the player he is today.  (Short answer: hard work, selflessness and raw talent.  Long answer: read it here.)
• Congressman Frank Wolf has been causing quite a fuss over a $20 million donation from a Saudi prince to Georgetown, News reports.  The Editorial Board tells Wolf he’s barking up the wrong tree.
• The Hoyas face off against the Cincinnati Bearcats on Saturday at the Verizon Center.  Tony Francavilla tells you why you shouldn’t be worried.  (Hint: the main reason is 7′ 2″ and has a hook shot that can’t be contained.)
• Looking for something to do after the game on Saturday?  Black Comedy is playing at the Devine Studio Theatre (you can buy tickets here) and Ryan May Handy says it’s not half-bad.
• Molly Redden takes us across the ocean and around the world with letters from a friend of hers in Kenya.
• If you still haven’t made up your mind about which GUSA ticket to vote for, maybe our article on Tuesday’s debate will help you out.  (And then go here to vote.)

And that is all the news that’s fit to print.  Well, most of it anyway.

• Juliana Brint explores what it means to be a student with ADD at Georgetown in this week’s cover.  Adam Briscoe’s take? “It’s a square peg in a round hole. And thus far the University has demanded that ADD students become round pegs and has no assistance in maybe squaring up some of their own hole-iness.”
• In case you haven’t noticed from our overload of GUSA posts, it’s campaign season!  The Editorial Board announces their pick while Kate Mays follows the candidates as they sell their platforms to the masses.
• What do Valentine’s Day and canvassing for your favorite 2008 candidate have in common?  Clare Malone just might have the answer.
• Dan Cook gives Steve Jobs a piece of his mind.  In next week’s issue: Steve Jobs responds.
• Syracuse may have just dropped one to the worst team in the Big East, but that doesn’t mean that Saturday is going to be a walk in the park for the Hoyas.  Tony Francavilla checks in with another of his excellent previews.
• Three in one week!  Condi Rice, Keith Ellison and Ron Paul all stopped by Georgetown to impart a few bits of wisdom.
• Hey!  John Darnielle!  Will Sommer has a bone to pick with you.

And that’s only scratching the surface.  You can hit the rest up here.

• Ever walk by 1789 and think to yourself, what I wouldn’t give to spend a night observing their kitchen and then write an insightful behind-the-scenes feature for a weekly Georgetown publication?  Well, it looks like editor-in-chief Mike Stewart beat you to the punch.
• “Having nine people running shows that [nine] people are really taking GUSA seriously,” GUSA president Ben Shaw told our very own Juliana Brint.  Full disclosure: I added in the “[nine]”.  But seriously, the GUSA race has begun!
• The Editorial Board has an idea to save the University time and money with practically zero effort!  (Hint: it starts with a “G” and ends with “oogle in, UIS out.”)
• This one could be a doozy: Tony Fracavilla tells us what Louisville has in store for the Hoyas on Saturday.  (And Phil Perry profiles our secret weapon.)
• This one’s for Voice readers in grades K-6.  Erin Espe reviews High School Musical: the Musical.  (It’s playing at National Theatre: the Theatre.)
• Tim Fernholz sits down for a little chat with Vice President of Safety and Security, Rocco DelMonaco, Jr. about observing Ash Wednesday, what Rocco’s commemorative license plate says and why 38,000 social security numbers aren’t so secure any more.

And that’s only the tip of the iceberg.  Head over to the Voice’s website for the whole shebang.
