After several months of research, proposals and negotiations, we in the Student Association are proud to announce that printing prices at both the Gelman and Eckles libraries will be decreased. Starting this week, you will see prices drop to 7 cents per page.
This will save the student body between $40,000 and $60,000 annually.
We were able to compromise with University Librarian Jack Siggins to institute a fair price for printing in our libraries, a cost that is now equal to what GW Law School students pay to print. We are appreciative of both Siggins and Provost Steven Lerman’s continued support of this critical concern of student body.
Our main goal in this initiative was to lower the burden of extra fees on students. Tuition alone is a substantial cost for families, and we are committed to reducing fees that aren't eligible for financial aid. Printing is a practical requirement vital to academic success, and we are satisfied that this favorable adjustment creates a fair deal for students.
Ted Costigan is the executive vice president of the Student Association.

From the Office of the Student Association President:
After almost of year in office, the President is excited that his administration has accomplished at least one thing before his term is completed. Seeing that we have achieved one thing, I hereby announce that President Richardson will be running for re-election so he can spend another year doing nothing to achieve a small victory for the students.
Just like last years campaign, he will work on trying to bring on-campus recruiting on campus. We would like to blame the members of the Senate who did not allow him to accomplish this goal so he would like to spend another year getting more recruiters on campus.
We also made a lot of other campaign promises this year, but we did not achieve them so we will just continue to blame the Student Association Senators until we win re-election and continue on doing nothing for the student of The George Washington University.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TO THE PRESS
Sounds like this SA tool woke up on the wrong side of bed.
BTW John’s already said multiple times that he isn’t running again.
What were your goals and objectives in writing this article?
Clearly his/her goal was to mock the SA. Is that not clear?
Urging professors to eliminate the requirement of turning in assignments via print would save students more money. I hope there’s a campaign for that, running parallel to this great victory… Not only would it save money, it would increase GW’s Green Initiatives……
