From the Editor
FROM THE EDITOR: We Hate All of Human Civilization Equally
Though my first issue as editor of this illustrious publication should be a time of celebration, I feel I have no choice but to break from the traditional coke-fueled orgies of an editor’s first week to address the troubling accusations that have been directed at the Heckler since the publication of our last issue.... »
FROM THE EDITOR: Georgetown Must Never Forget Its Half-Assed Catholic Identity
As I finish up my last week of finals as a Georgetown undergrad and prepare to enter the real world, I should be elated that it’s all over and excited about my new job as a junior associate in the exciting field of child-murdering / child-murdering-financial-services consultancy. But I’m not. I feel melancholic because... »
FROM THE EDITOR: How to Express Your Homophobia Legally
I suppose it was just a matter of time before we saw another slew of hate crimes. University life is cyclical. Autumn arrives and the lively green trees that greeted us at the beginning of the semester soon turn fiery and let go of their leaves. Spring breaks through the winter... »
FROM THE EDITOR: It’s Time for Students to Arm Themselves
Anytime there’s a crime on campus, you can bet you’ll read an editorial in The Hoya from some crazy guy who thinks we should all have guns. This guy will slyly allude to the fact that he carries a gun everywhere he goes. He will scare the crap out of you. It’s taken me a... »
FROM THE EDITOR: Helping the Administration with Disreputable Media Acquisitions
The recent news that the University forced The Hoya to remain an official part of the school for another year rather than get its long-promised independence came as a surprise to some, but not me. I mean, look at the facts. This is a school that is obsessed with their image. That’s why they... »
FROM THE EDITOR OF THE HOYA: If You Were Smarter You’d Think It Was Funny
Several weeks ago, The Hoya, Georgetown’s most widely read campus publication, of which I was then editor-in-chief, published its annual, ruthlessly satirical “April Fools Issue.” “You people” were upset, and I thought it might be helpful in the name of diversity and dialogue to clear up a few misunderstandings. First of all, The Hoya knows... »
FROM THE EDITOR: The Heckler Bids Farewell to JuicyCampus
As part of the established media elite, we here at the Heckler are unnerved and saddened by the recent closing of JuicyCampus.com. As I think we all know, the implosion of this journalistic giant is indicative of the troubled state of modern journalism. Already the Christian Science Monitor has cancelled its print issue, the... »
FROM THE EDITOR: Todd Olson Doing Right For Georgetown Waistlines
As all of you know, health is one of the foremost issues for which the Heckler editors are currently crusading. We know how hard it is in this modern day and age to eat right, exercise and stay fit. Obesity is one of the many challenges that we as a nation will face in... »
FROM THE EDITOR: For GUGS, One Pun Too Many
Like the rest of women at this university who are proudly vagina-clad, I was shocked when I read this week that GUGS, pronounced like “jugs,” a slang term for breasts, decided to employ two more breast-related puns in planning an upcoming event. It’s not often that people objectify human breasts, especially here in... »
FROM THE EDITOR: Todd Olson for GUSA President
(This is satire. The actual endorsement is in this month’s video.) If there’s one thing we’ve learned this year, it’s that the VP for Student Affairs is completely out of touch with the student body. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the history of GUSA, it’s that they can’t and won’t stand up... »
