From all indications, the GW women’s basketball team, which replaced its four graduated seniors with a highly touted freshman class, is advancing faster than last year’s team did at this point. And the freshmen are having no problem with the pace of practice. Junior Erica Lawrence said the team is adding more plays and strategies, […]
I am a resident of JBKO Hall and recently had my first experience with roaches and GW’s pest control services. While I was traumatized at having a roach take up residence under my bag of cotton balls, what was even more disturbing was GW’s response. After enlisting the help of a friend in killing the […]
The GW women’s volleyball team stopped its conference slide with a 3-2 win over Fordham this Sunday at the Smith Center. The Colonials (5-13, 4-6 Atlantic 10) beat the rams in New York earlier this season 3-1. After Fordham (6-14, 1-10 A-10) won the first game 30-26, GW regrouped to take games two and three, […]

Of course, everyone understands that with deadly biological agents traveling around the city and surrounding areas through the postal system, delays will occur. But the U.S. Postal Service should be honest with the […]
Helping others is not simply what human services majors do on the weekend. It’s going to be their job. The human services program, one of three programs in the sociology department of the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences, is more than 20 years old. The major was originally designed for nursing students who wanted […]
Last year I served as a student hearing board member for GW’s Office of Student Judicial Services, and I strongly disagree that the violations and charges should be more open to the University Community (“GW’s secret service,” Oct. 25, p. 4). The primary reason these files are private is to protect the students involved. SJS […]
