Georgetown Dining Hall Closes After Students Fall Ill

The Georgetown Hoya is reporting that more than 20 students were hospitalized and admitted to the Georgetown University Hospital late Tuesday evening with bad cases of food poisoning. University officials have since shut down the Leo J. O'Donovan Dining Hall, otherwise known as Leo's. A university spokesperson told the Washington Post that they were unaware that any students had actually been admitted to the hospital, but Hoya reporter Andrew Dwulet's story contradicts those claims. Dwulet also polled a number of the sick students in the ER waiting room and found that at least two of them said they had not eaten at the dining hall in question since early in the day or Monday evening.

Obviously it was the MonkeyErotica special of the day.

 

Well there are haves and have nots, and at this point I am happy to report I have not an intestinal-born parasite.

 

What of the Georgetown Cocktail Partygoers?

Everyone! To Rhinos!

 

In other news, Georgetown's Art Department reports a sudden uptick in Jackson Pollock-like submissions for the upcoming art midterms.

 

That's actually some solid reporting from the campus rag.

In related news, at least 8 students were admitted to the hospital for food-fight related injuries. There are currently no fatalities.

 

I have to wonder if this is somehow a recruitment tactic by LNS?

 

it's clearly related to the stolen bull's head, i just know it.
