I spend most of my days thinking about the little things that others probably do not pick up on. Call them common ironies or whatever they may be, they leave me perplexed and often unable to concentrate on what is really important. It is pretty common that a lot of professors have written and published […]

Let’s focus on the facts of why bombing Iraq is clearly a stupid action. Fact 1: Saddam Hussein is the most villainous dictator in the world and should be removed by any means necessary. Fact 2: Bombing villages and dropping chemicals upon the people he oppresses, as the U.S. and Britain have done for eight […]

Fordham coach Bob Hill walked toward GW coach Tom Penders 15 seconds before time ran out on the Colonials’ lopsided 92-76 victory Wednesday night, shook hands and stormed off the Smith Center court. He changed his clothes in the locker room and then began a post-game tirade about his team’s performance. It was that bad […]

There is a growing effort to distort the conflict in Iraq by blurring ethnic and human rights issues. The Bush administration, however, has chosen to address the cause of the problem and refuses to participate in international bickering. Air strikes last Friday by U.S. and British forces, despite what some believe, have been well overdue. […]

For the first time since 1993, the GW women’s basketball will play its final two home games at the Smith Center. The team is heading into the homestretch, literally. On Thursday the women host St. Bonaventure and on Sunday they host Rhode Island. The Colonials will use these games to prepare for the Atlantic 10 […]

The campaign season officially hit full stride at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday when candidates were allowed to begin plastering posters on the sides of campus buildings.

Candidates, […]

Some students said discrepancies between campaign postering rules at GW’s Foggy Bottom and Mount Vernon campuses are unfair because they restrict Mount Vernon residents from receiving candidate information. The Joint Elections Committee designates two locations for candidates to put up campaign posters at Mount Vernon, a more limited area than at the Foggy Bottom campus. […]

Residents of the University-owned apartment building at 2109 F St. received letters Feb. 1 telling them to leave by May 31, no matter how long their leases run. GW has the legal right to revoke the leases, but its use of this privilege is alarming. Giving just four months notice and providing no accommodations for […]

Students say they are still downloading away despite a decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that could result in a shutdown of Napster, a free on-line music swapping service. The court ruled last week that Napster must prevent users from sharing copyrighted materials. Napster officials said preventing music sharing is a near-impossible […]

Student Association election campaigning intensified Wednesday afternoon as candidates jostled for prime positions to hang posters starting at 5:30 p.m. The strategies began early in the morning, ending in one injury and at least one physical confrontation over wall space. The Joint Elections Committee will investigate one alleged campaign violation for a car covered with […]
