Protest organizations traveled to D.C. this weekend with a new purpose than originally planned: speak out against war. Several groups shifted their messages from anti-capitalist to anti-war after the International Monetary Fund and World Bank postponed meetings scheduled for Saturday and Sunday because of security concerns surrounding the Sept. 11 terrorists attacks on America. The […]

Demonstrators descended on mostly deserted D.C. streets this weekend to protest U.S. military retaliation to terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon.

Three knocks on the door, five flowers tied into a bouquet, two places set at a candle-lit table and maybe, just maybe, one goodnight kiss. These are the ingredients for a formal date, a dying occurrence in college. Replacing the traditional mating ritual is the relatively new, more casual trend of hooking up. A poll […]

Rule number one for planning an effective protest: make sure your audience is listening. Rule number two: make sure you have a coherent message. Protesters violated both these rules last weekend, when the International Monetary Fund and World Bank had planned to meet, during a hasty and unfocused campaign against war and a sundry list […]

Typically, GW students spend time together during class, in their rooms and at parties. But many are surrounded by familiar GW faces off campus everyday – at work. Many students said working with people who not only share their age, but also their school has been a great experience because it gives the workplace a […]

This weekend I stepped outside of our pages and into a completely other world to see how the other side lives.
