One is a “cheese head” from Wisconsin. The other was born and raised in the West Indies. So, what do Jason Holloway and Kali Hislop have in common? They were both freshman starters for the GW men’s soccer team this season. Both had strong seasons and become leaders in their respective positions. Despite a final […]

Have we completely lost our ability to differentiate between right and wrong? It appears all too clear that we have, as GW was once again host to a forum that sought to make a hero out of a cold-blooded murderer. Last week, the GW Campaign to End the Death Penalty and the International Socialists organized […]

University subcommittees charged with reviewing GW’s athletic department presented their recommendations for changes at four sparsely attended meetings last week. The self-study is part of the University’s effort to gain NCAA certification, which is necessary for GW’s teams to compete in NCAA athletics. The NCAA requires all schools to conduct a self-study every 10 years […]

The Student Association constitution proclaims that every GW student is a member of the SA. Yet the constitution is made of words – words that do not compare to the actions thousands of students take through their membership in at least one of the nearly 250 student organizations on campus. Perhaps SA membership is somewhat […]

Federico Garcia Lorca forever will be known as Spain’s greatest 20th century poet, the voice of a generation and an avid aficionado of flamenco.

For quite some time, Iraq has failed to live up to its agreement with the United Nations to destroy its nuclear, biological and chemical weapons programs.

Hunter portrays Judith Nelson, the wife of a wealthy Manhattan […]

With the results of Tuesday’s election in, two important figures that loomed over the District of Columbia through some of its darkest hours have passed from the scene. Sen. Lauch Faircloth (R-N.C.) was defeated in a close election, and Mayor Marion Barry (D) chose not to run for another term. Faircloth was chair of the […]

Thurston Hall residents who voted in Tuesday’s Advisory Neighborhood Commission election may have been given ballots for the wrong single-member district, said ANC candidates and GW Votes Director Adam Siple. Ed Meinert, a student who ran for ANC single-member district 2A05, which he said includes Thurston Hall, said he is contesting the election. Meinert lost […]

In each of the last five years, the GW women’s soccer team has run into a roadblock at the Atlantic 10 Tournament. The Colonial women have lost to Massachusetts – the conference’s defending champion – in the last five A-10 tournaments. But this may be the year GW could either break through the roadblock or […]
