The Newseum
Five centuries of news history along with up-to-the-second innovation and excitement are just around the corner as you visit the Newseum. One of DC's most interactive experiences, The Newseum highlights milestones and leaders in news and journalism through 15 theaters and 14 galleries. See the largest display of sections of the Berlin Wall outside of Germany, Pulitzer Prize winning photographs, an exhibit honoring those lost on Sept. 11, 2001, and a gallery called "Today's Front Pages," which presents daily front pages from more than 80 international newspapers. It's an amazing experience!
The two trips are planned for Saturday, Oct. 3 and Sunday, Oct. 25. Both trips will leave the Foggy Bottom Metro stop at 11am. If you are committed to going, please email your house mentor with your name, building, room number, and which date you would like to go.

I'd like to thank the children who did the damage on the fourth floor over this weekend. You should be very proud of yourselves, destroying a new dorm at a school like this. Be sure to share your achievements with your friends and family ... maybe even post what you've done to your Facebook profile.
ReplyDeleteAnd while our house mentor's may be geeky house mentor's, who ever had the nerve to write the crude things on the poster near the lobby elevators has a thing or two to learn about what others will tolerate from them. That was uncalled for and wrong. Wait until you see what happens to you when you pull something like that in the real world, when the offended party hasn't got a lot to lose. What would you do if some one said or wrote that about your sister?
I totally agree. As seniors, I'm suprised how immature people still are. Please, learn to respect others. It'll do you alot of good in the work world!
