They are a part of GW’s campus just as much as the vendors on H Street and merchants outside of the Metro station. Some sit outside the Tower Records at 2000 Penn, others can be found on the walkway between the Hall on Virginia Avenue and campus. They are members of D.C.’s homeless population. And, […]

Thursday night at Paper Moon restaurant in Georgetown, more than 40 people – mostly GW students – were involved in a bar fight that spilled out onto the street.

I was watching President George W. Bush’s press conference Monday feeling somewhat helpless just as I have for the past month. At the end of the conference, he said the American Red Cross is putting together a relief fund for the children of Afghanistan, and he urged the children of the United States to give […]

Four GW students were hospitalized early Friday morning after a fight that began at Paper Moon restaurant in Georgetown and ended with a brick thrown through a window near GW’s campus.
