The GW baseball team split its last two games, losing on the road to the U.S. Naval Academy Wednesday and defeating George Mason University Tuesday. The Colonials also picked up a win by forfeit when the College of William & Mary refused to play a game at Barcroft Field last Wednesday. According to NCAA rules, […]

There’s a saying at Sholl’s Colonial Cafeteria: “It’s where the senators come to slum and the homeless come to splurge.” One visit to the 71-year-old D.C. landmark proves that sentiment rings true. The customers are a diverse lot: senior citizens and college students, members of the House of Representatives and homeless people, former presidents and […]
Just hearing the announcer call Albert Roma a “gangly guy” made the disaster against Indiana University a little easier to take. Knowing Shawnta Rogers was getting the national publicity he so rightfully deserved also made it slightly better. And if you lasted until the end of the game, seeing Bobby Knight put his hands on […]
Jessica Smithers says no matter how often she talks about the night she was raped in October 1995, it spurs strong emotions. “I have had to discuss it on so many instances, and it still hasn’t gotten easier,” she said.

Gargano wrote a memo to SA members March 15 asking for information about the SA’s plan to split into undergraduate and graduate groups. But graduate […]
The Mod Squad (MGM) made me roll my eyes so many times that I saw more of the theater’s ceiling than the screen. Just what movie-goers needed from Hollywood: another ’90s remake of some TV series from the 1960s or ’70s that was better left alone.
