STAHP THAT

As finals loom on the horizon, the atmosphere in and around Lau is getting increasingly oppressive. That’s probably why Stella, this golden retriever puppy that Vox came across at the bottom of Lau steps this afternoon, couldn’t get away fast enough.

This issue of the the Voice features the eight 2013 photo contest winners. The winner is “Musical solidarity with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers”, by Sarah G. Vázquez (COL ’13).

News covers the student guard laptop ban and some of the guards’ reactions to the prohibition.

Leisure reviews GU Hispanic Theater’s performance of two one-act Cervantes plays, El retablo de las maravillas and La cueva de Salamanca, and reflects on their dark humor.

In Sports, Steven Criss weighs the pros and cons of Georgetown’s move to a new varsity athletics conference, the American Athletic Conference, following the breakup of the Big East.

The Voices section features Christian Lambert reflecting on GU Pride’s annual Genderfunk event and finds that it doesn’t help transgender inclusivity in Georgetown’s gay community.

The Ed Board calls for more acceptance of Georgetown Day realities on the part of the administration.

HAI THERE

Golden Retrievers Bentley and Sky were out for a walk near Georgetown when Izzy, Assistant Vox Editor, came upon them. They posed very nicely for her, and then went on to wrestle each other.

Hi Voxers,

Vox just wanted to remind you that today is the last day to submit pictures to the Voice Photo Contest. The top eight photos will be featured in the print edition of the Voice, with the best on the front cover. The competition is open to all Georgetown University students. Photos cannot be modified, although they can be cropped. Both color and black-and-white photos are allowed.

It’s a great opportunity to showcase your work, so make sure you get your submission in before 11:59 p.m. tonight!

Send your photos to photo@georgetownvoice.com, and be sure to check out the Facebook page for more details.

Vox encountered Bella out on a stroll on the Leavey Bridge this afternoon. The Pomeranian was more interested in food than the camera, but I managed to snap her en route to my bag of bagels.
