The Student Association will appoint a commission to research the possible separation of the SA into graduate and undergraduate bodies, after students voted 933-206 to support the referendum to split the organization in last week’s election. At a Rules Committee meeting Friday, SA members said the commission will gather information, conduct research on student opinion […]
I know everyone must be tired of hearing about the Student Association elections by now, but because I spent Wednesday night at J Street until about 6 a.m., the elections are all that is on my mind. It is has always struck me that the SA takes itself very, very seriously, especially considering that when […]
My name is Paul Prados and a week ago I was running for Student Association president. Many of you passed me sitting in the Quad patiently waiting for you to tell me your problems. I never postered. I never palmcarded. I sat and waited for you. I had some good ideas and the people who […]
In what was an extremely close competition last weekend, the GW gymnastics team lost to nationally ranked West Virginia University, 193.925 to 193.575. Ranked 12th in the nation, West Virginia did not win any of the events by more than seven-tenths of a point. “We definitely surprised them,” said GW head coach Margie Foster-Cunningham. “What’s […]
Before rumors start to fly too much, I wanted to comment on my resignation as chair of the Joint Elections Committee.

Being that this article was in the “Top News” section of gwhatchet.com, I was anxious to see what had happened over the weekend to […]
So now it’s a baseball stadium. Get this straight, please – I’m in favor of baseball in the District of Columbia. As a former player and current fan, I like the game. The game of baseball, that is. But there’s another game going on in downtown Washington that I don’t like, and neither should any […]
The Baltimore Orioles appear set to play two exhibition games against the Cuban national team this spring. The first will be March 28 in Havana. The second will be at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on one of the Orioles’ days off from Major League Baseball’s regular season in April. The deal was reached after […]
This year’s Joint Elections Committee has provided students with a comedy of errors unlike any other in recent memory. First came the saga surrounding the removal of several Student Association candidates from the ballot for rules violations. Then came the election-night drama of waiting until 6 a.m. for the results. Now, in what is sure […]
