The attempted sexual assault of a resident of the Potomac Park apartment building is a vivid reminder that rape and sexual assault occurs far too regularly. The media attention this incident generated should not lull people into a false sense of security. Just because this incident was one of the few such incidents reported near […]
Metropolitan Police officers are searching for a maintenance worker accused of attempting to sexually assault a GW student Monday night in an off-campus apartment building. The man forced his way into a female student’s Potomac Park apartment at 510 21st St. around 6:20 p.m. Monday after he told her he was there to make a […]
No, this column won’t try to explain why a 12-team conference calls itself the Atlantic 10. Or even why it calls itself Atlantic. You don’t think Dayton sometimes wonders what it’s doing in a conference named after an ocean? Maybe it just stayed with the Atlantic 10 because of the conference’s rich tradition. But wait. […]

GW men’s basketball recruit and Good Counsel High School senior Chris Monroe (l.) misses a runner in the first half of a 72-58 loss to DeMatha High School Wednesday night in the Smith Center. His return to the Smith Center was as sour as his first game there was sweet. Good Counsel beat DeMatha at […]
GW’s Board of Trustees will vote Friday on a University proposal to increase tuition and fees 4.6 percent for returning undergraduates. If the Board approves the University’s recommended increase for fiscal year 2000, it will be the lowest tuition increase in 11 years.

Making it into any hall of fame is an accomplishment few people ever have the chance to brag about.
