A musician without an instrument to play is not a musician. The recent thefts that took place in GW’s Department of Music left several student musicians without their instruments, and the University should do what it can to fix the situation and prevent it from happening again. The students who are calling for the University […]
I want to applaud the reasonable steps GW’s Center for Academic Technologies is taking to control the voluminous amounts of waste expended at printer labs. A reasonable quota allowing users the ability to print – free of charge – legitimate materials is a long overdue step that is worthy of our support. The least important […]
In his Jan. 24 column (“Tax cut benefits few, slows economy”) GW College Democrat President Jesse Demastrie makes a confusing reference to the collapse of Enron. He states, “If Republicans cannot correctly run a business, such as Enron, how can America trust them to run a country?” This is an argument I find offensive and […]
Your Jan. 28 (“GW grad reports from front lines”) story regarding Megan Stack’s coverage on the war in Afghanistan contained a glaring error. I believe that the ship she traveled on was not the USS Carl Vincent, as reported, but rather the USS Carl Vinson. A quick visit to the U.S. Navy’s Web site would […]

There are a lot of bad live albums out there. Re-mastered and overdubbed, a listener can’t tell the difference between the studio and live versions as the energy and emotion of the show is sapped out. But the new Nine Inch Nails live album And All that Could Have Been (Nothing Records) thankfully does not […]
NYC’s finest, The Slackers, have been spreading their smooth ska style across the country for the past 10 years. Touring endlessly, the band has hit the road leaving a trail of smoke and beer cans behind them. The Slackers boasts four releases on Epitaph subsidiary Hellcat Record and a slew of impressive gigs. The group […]
