GW is encouraging students to continue with plans to study abroad next semester but with an added note of caution.

Students are reporting sexual crimes at a higher rate than last year. Since school started in August, the University Police Department has received two reports of rapes, one of sexual assault with an object, two of forced sodomy and three of forced fondling. The totals for the entire fall semester 2000 are: five rape, one […]

GW bathrooms are once again becoming a popular place to have sex. The University Police Department has barred 12 men from campus in the past two weeks for committing “lewd acts” in University bathrooms. UPD was notified in late September by employees in Corcoran Hall that “inappropriate activities” were regularly taking place in the building’s […]

GW officials await precautionary anthrax tests from Foggy Bottom and Mount Vernon Campus mail facilities before giving any guarantees that packages and letters around campus are completely safe. But departments seem more affected by a mail slowdown than fears of anthrax. Foggy Bottom and Mount Vernon mail facilities were tested for anthrax spores Tuesday, said […]

Now, almost 20 years later, that same basement – the infamous Wilson Center in the heart of D.C. – is legendary. After two decades as an epicenter […]

While making his credited screen debut in Rudy, Vince Vaughn became friends with another struggling young actor, Jon Favreau, who decided to write Vaughn into a script he was working on. That script eventually became the critical hit Swingers. And what at first seemed a minor career sideline soon vaulted Vaughn into films by such […]

It was just another calm night at the Hippodrome Tuesday, besides a World Series game and return of Michael Jordan playing on TV screens … and the group of break-dancers spinning on their heads. The first event held by Liquid Arts, a new GW student group dedicated to the “urban arts,” drew a crowd of […]

Nearly a week elapsed between the discovery of an anthrax-tainted letter in U.S. Sen. Tom Daschle’s (D-S.D.) office in the Hart Senate Office Building and testing at the Brentwood Road postal facility that handles all mail for the District. In that time, two D.C. postal workers fell ill and eventually died of inhalation anthrax. And […]
