Ever wonder why events like the Olympics seem good from afar, but once they happen, they seem far from good? For instance, these Olympics were supposed to be great – the Aussie games from Down Under and any other catchphrase or story of human drama that NBC can ram down our throats. By now we […]
The Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity will host a canned-food drive to benefit a local food bank this week. Members said they hope to collect 50,000 pounds of canned food for the Capital Area Food Bank by placing collection boxes throughout campus this week.

A good education includes a broadening of the senses and an opening of the mind. Ms. Somogyi just feeds into the criticism that students on this campus are more concerned with their […]
Several months ago GW graduate Jim Lee received a telephone call that his name was entered in a contest honoring Asian-American student leaders at universities across the country. Lee was told to submit an essay about himself and the activities he was involved in at college and in the community. A short time after, Lee […]
