Students at GW say they feel the standard of academics at the University is deficient, according to statistics from the Student Association. The 1999-2000 Student Budgetary Priorities complied by the SA includes the organization’s top five issues based on a survey of more than 200 students.

Eight-year-old Nada Abougad sings along to her Britney Spears tape on a My First Sony Karaoke player, almost daily. She scolds if no one calls her to watch You Drive Me Crazy or any Spears music video play on MTV. She idolizes Spears, as do many young girls and boys. The rise of teen stars […]

Former ambassador and Sen. James Sasser (D-Tenn.) was named the J.B. and Maurice C. Shapiro Professor for the Elliott School of International Affairs Monday. ESIA Dean Harry Harding said the Shapiro Professorship brings two sets of responsibilities – to teach and to present a major public lecture. The idea is to bring someone with high […]

Dear Mr. Craven: We get the point. The Scream series has made its money on the basis that they are horror movies poking fun at themselves. In the newest episode, Scream 3, it’s more of the same. In the first movie, it was a small-town murder mystery. In the second, it was set on a […]

But an unsubstantiated survey after the speech found there weren’t many more Republicans present than Democrats. The Republicans were just louder. Many GW CRs support Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.). A few like Texas Gov. George W. Bush. […]

Stewart touched on everything from his sexual practices to his dog’s explosive diarrhea in a performance that lasted almost two hours. I think as you get older, you […]
