October 16, 2008 By Chase McAlpine Leave a Comment

Throughout this weekend Students of the Benjamin T. Rome School of Music at Catholic University will be performing a rendition of Sweeney Todd. Stephen Sondheim’s masterpiece musical thriller tells the tale of the unjustly exiled barber who returns to 19th century London seeking revenge against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. His thirst for blood soon expands to include his unfortunate customers, and the resourceful proprietress of the pie shop downstairs soon has the people of London lining up in droves with her mysterious new meat pie recipe!

Working out a deal with Catholic University, the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals football team have been practicing at CUA’s Cardinal Stadium since their game against the Washington Redskins last Sunday. The professional football team, using both the Athletic Center and the football field, are preparing for their game against the New York Jets this upcoming weekend.

Today, members of the CUA Cardinal’s Football Team were able to meet members of the Arizona team.

Pictures from the Sky – The Basilica

September 19, 2008 By Chase McAlpine Leave a Comment

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to go take pictures from the top of the Knights of Columbus Tower, of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, for the CUA Yearbook. The Basilica rising up 32 floors or 329 feet is considered the tallest building and the 2nd tallest structure in Washington, DC. The Washington Monument is the tallest structure, but can not be considered a building, as it doesn’t have successive floors that can be occupied.

The pictures did not come out as good as I would have liked, especially the far away shots, such as the Capital and the Washington Monument. It was very hazy the day I went up, but you take what you can get. I’ll be going up again next week to take pictures at sunset/nighttime, so hopefully I’ll be able to get some good shots then. I’ve included some of the pictures I took from the top, as well as some from the trip up and back down the tower.

CUA Remembers 9/11

September 11, 2008 By Chase McAlpine Leave a Comment

About 500 CUA students gathered on the front lawn of the Pryzbyla Center to honor the lives lost 7 years ago on 9/11/2001.

“After year 5, I thought interest would fade, obviously it didn’t. When we didn’t plan anything that year, they did it themselves, in the back of Spellman Hall on the Rugby practice field,. There is always a significant crowd.” — Rev. Bob Schlageter (Read More).

“‘It’s a day we try not to remember, but it’s a day we will never forget,’ said Joe St. George, chairman of the College Democrats.” — From The Tower Newspaper at CUA.
