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. It is my hope that this letter will serve as an explanation and apology to the campus in general, the candidates, and most importantly, my friends on the JEC. My decision to leave the […]

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 […]
