In this week’s feature, the winner of the Voice photo contest is Tiffany Kaul, for her photo entitled “Watcha Lookin At.” The black-and-white winner is Jeff Haake.

On the Editorial page, the Ed Board decries the restrictions that the University is putting on Georgetown Day, including requiring bag inspections and fencing off Copley Lawn. They note that the measures will drive students’ festivities off-campus, only further aggravating the neighbors.

For Sports, Kevin Joesph laments the loss of his hometown New Jersey Nets to Brooklyn.

In Leisure, Mary Borowiec reviews the Senior Art Majors Exhibition: 2012 being held in Walsh’s Spagnuolo Gallery and Walsh 102 through May 18. She notes that, through the exhibits, the common character is the depth and emotion of all the senior artists’ work.

This week’s Page 13 offers students tips on how they should prepare for the Administration’s scaled down Georgetown Day.

And, finally, in Voices, Sara Ainsworth writes about how the fictional world of The Hunger Games has recently helped her cope with the stresses of preparing for the real world.

Every spring, the Voice dedicates one issue to feature the best of Georgetown photography, taking submissions from the Hilltop’s creative community. Last year, Keaton Bedell (COL ’13) won with this powerful image, titled “Levitation.” To see the rest of last year’s winners, click here.

The winning photo in this year’s contest will be featured on the cover of our April 26th issue, while the following top photos will be featured on the inside spread. Both color and B&W photos are accepted.
