Iron Monkey in theatres Friday With a mundane storyline and immature humor, Iron Monkey (Miramax) relies on sophisticated choreography to entertain but barely manages to capture audience approval. A shallow plot and depthless characters act as a backdrop for fight scenes. The film seems like only an excuse to show off imaginative choreography from Yuen […]
Among students, it is no mystery that GW blue lights around campus are often out of order. They report seeing many of University Police’s 20 emergency phone stations disconnected and unusable at various times. On Monday, blue light phone number 14, located on G Street between 23rd and 24th streets, was covered with a plastic […]
For those of us tired of the average, mind-numbing love story, then the only viable option this weekend is the Department of Theatre and Dance’s new play, Stop Kiss, by Diana Son.

The world watched in horror as two planes deliberately crashed into the magnificent towers, leveling them and leaving behind rubble and anguish. Many Americans are now contemplating the fate of the site of the World Trade Center, once clean-up measures […]

The first annual “Colonials Run” was three-mile race run by players, coaches and members of the community. Head Coach Karl Hobbs said it was indicative of the team’s upcoming game plan. “We’re going to be […]
At 9:30 a.m. on Sept. 11, my roommate woke me by dragging me into the living room while telling me in brief “the world is coming apart.” A little over a half-hour later, I watched as the World Trade Center came crashing down. Back home in New Jersey three weeks later, I caught a glimpse […]
The GW men’s tennis team took five of its six singles matches and all three doubles matches in its fall dual match opener, notching a big win over Atlantic 10 rival Temple Friday in Philadelphia.
