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.

After the men’s and women’s NCAA Tournament selection shows Sunday, utter dejection and jubilation filled the same room in the Smith Center in the span of an hour. The GW men’s basketball team celebrated making it into the NCAA Tournament as the 11th seed in the south region, while the GW women’s team failed to […]

On its album Picture Postcard Walls, Far Too Jones sounds far too close to a billion other artists. The songs are not terrible but they lack an original sound. On the first track, “As Good As You,” the name John Cougar Mellencamp springs to mind. Unfortunately, there’s no clapping like in Mellencamp’s “Jack and Diane,” […]
