More office seekers than voters showed up Monday and Tuesday nights to see candidates for next week’s campus elections face off in Joint Elections Committee-sponsored forums. JEC member Darrell Villaruz said poor publicity accounted for the low turnout. “The lack of a charter until January – as opposed to December last year – made everything […]

Though hardly believable as a true story, Dangerous Beauty (Warner Brothers) mesmerizingly captures the life and struggle of poetess and courtesan Veronica Franco (Catherine McCormack, Braveheart). McCormack portrays Franco with passion and fervor. Franco has been semi-forced into the life of a 16th-century prostitute after the reality of her low status shatters her hope of […]

Candidates in this year’s campus elections have a new forum to pitch their platforms to student voters – the World Wide Web. Student Association presidential and executive vice presidential candidates are using cyberspace to provide information about their campaigns and information about who to contact to get involved in the race. The Web adds another […]

Director Alex Proyas’ latest film, Dark City (New Line Cinema), does not live up to his earlier movie, The Crow. Similar gothic images pervade, but only glimpses of The Crow’s original feeling remain. The Australian-born Proyas found fame by directing the 1994 hit in which the star, Brandon Lee, tragically died while working on the […]

The Student Association will not eliminate the office of vice president for student activities after several weeks of debate in the SA Senate about the position’s relevancy. The Senate voted at its last meeting to put a referendum on next week’s ballot that would have allowed students to vote on whether to abolish the office. […]

PISCES (Feb. 22-March 21)You can return the gas mask you bought, scaredy cat. Did you really believe it when your roommate told you Saddam was going to bomb your house? ARIES (March 22-April 21)That girl/guy you met at LuLu’s last weekend is a waste of your time. Stop waiting by the phone. Then again, losers […]

I am appalled by the unsatisfactory nature of the Student Association, the Joint Elections Committee and the state of the student elections process. To limit the exposure and the interaction between candidates and students is an insult to all parties involved. Though the JEC may have been originally based on legitimate principles, I believe it […]

c Sex, literature and death are the three main themes of Tom Stoppard’s “Arcadia,” which is being performed in the Marvin Center Theater by the GW Department of Theater and Dance this weekend. Literally, arcadia means pastoral – simple and innocent – but Stoppard’s play is anything but. It is a comedy of innuendoes and […]
