The sporadic outbreaks of mad cow disease have caused debate around the world on whether people should strike meat from their diets. For many GW students this concern is not a recent phenomenon because they decided years ago to go vegetarian.

The GW baseball team won Sunday’s rubber match as the Colonials took two of three games from third-place Dayton last weekend.

The streets of D.C. were here long before the University set up shop. The streets are for the cars, not […]

Pardon me while I wallow in my own emotional and motivational filth. I am really not that mature. You would want to think that over the last three years of college I would have matured into this presentable young man that parents would want their daughters to bring home.
