If one thing completes Johns Hopkins University, it's neighboring Charles Village. A quiet neighborhood with a laid-back character all its own, it is a one-stop shop for students' daily needs. It is also where the majority of upperclassmen choose to live D in apartment buildings and row houses up and down tree-lined streets. Charles Village begins just east of campus on Charles St. and extends several blocks east to Greenmount Ave., south to the 25th Street area and north to University Pkwy. It is a large neighborhood, but for most Johns Hopkins students, Charles Village really means the strip of stores and restaurants along St. Paul St.

The JHU Barnstormers' spring musical A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum opens this Friday in the Swirnow Theater. Last year's musical, Tommy, the popular rock opera, was so well done that the Barnstormers have a lot to live up to. The cast and crew have planned a lot of "firsts" for this show meant to wow the audience. The production of the show marks the first time that the Barnstormers will have a director of choreography and the first time that a circular stage with seating wrapped around the perimeter will be used. The effect is the creation of an intimate setting that envelops the audience and gives everyone a front-row seat.

The race for the next governor of Maryland may prove to be one of the biggest political showdowns in the state's history. Maryland's hometown boy, U.S. Representative Robert Ehrlich, (R), formally announced his candidacy last week on the stoop of his childhood home in Baltimore County. Lieutenant Governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, (D), has used her name and political clout to raise more than $5 million without formally announcing that she will run. Not to be left out is Baltimore's popular mayor, Martin O'Malley, also a Democrat, who has hinted at a run for the governor's office while scheduling a slew of fundraisers.

Diamonds are called a girl's best friend. The myth is that women can be whisked off their feet with a gift of diamond jewelry, for after all "A Diamond is Forever." Yet, few people associate diamonds with the horror that they cause in regions around the world. The murder, rape and mutilation of thousands of civilians in Sierra Leone for the sole purpose of taking over diamond territory seems too far away for Americans to care. Yet the problem of "conflict diamonds" hit home on Sept. 11. On Friday, The Washington Post reported that the Al Qaeda terrorist network may be financing their operations through the sale of diamonds purchased from war-torn Sierra Leone. Now, with the idea that Osama bin Laden may be profiting every time we buy diamond jewelry, the issue of "conflict diamonds" is suddenly much more significant.

On Nov. 6, Wall Street media mogul, billionaire and Johns Hopkins alumnus Michael Bloomberg faces one of his most difficult endeavors: the election for mayor of New York City. Bloomberg is depending on the support of New York City voters to elect him mayor of the largest city in America, a city in the midst of a massive clean-up effort following the attacks on the World Trade Center. As the Republican nominee for mayor in a city where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans five to one, Bloomberg has faced this uphill battle by running an energetic campaign that has helped him steadily rise in the polls against Democratic opponent Mark Green after a slow start in June.
