Stroman leads GW in sweep
The Colonials breezed by the weakest volleyball team in the conference Tuesday night, notching 53 kills and just 25 errors in their 3-0 sweep of La Salle. Freshman Britta Stroman led the Colonials with a match-high 14 kills in 23 attempts with just four errors for a .435 hitting percentage. GW stretched its win streak to 16 games against La Salle, which includes GW's only other sweep this season.
Sports: Out of left field: The World’s Series
Lindy's was packed, I was pumped. I figured being at a bar with a bunch of obnoxious New Jerseyans was the next best thing to being at Yankee stadium.

GW students rethink decision to study abroad
GW is encouraging students to continue with plans to study abroad next semester but with an added note of caution. With anti-American sentiments flaring in many countries in the wake of a war on terrorist in the Middle East, students abroad said advice to hide their American roots is well-grounded.

Coen brothers fall short
The Coen brothers have brought some of the most original movies in the '90s to the public eye. Fargo, The Big Lebowski and O Brother Where Art Thou apply an often dark sense of humor to offbeat scenarios and unpredictable plots. But with The Man Who Wasn't There, the brothers' homage to the classic black-and-white mystery, their humor rarely hits its mark and the plot never moves from its plodding course.
