Long Story Short: No, it’s not an “adult” film. The guys from MTV’s “The State” go to summer camp. Welcome to the last day of Camp Firewood, August 1981. Alan Says: As a Jewish guy and an eight-year veteran of Jewish summer camp, I was eager to see this movie. Eight weeks of friends, pranks […]
GW’s first-ever online housing selection was hampered by computer problems Sunday. Rising juniors and seniors selecting after 11 a.m. were unable to track which rooms were taken because Housing Services chose to remove the “availability screen,” and some rooms were assigned to too many people.

“Sold! For $4,600!” As the auctioneer’s gavel fell on the first auctioned number, Residence Hall Association members in charge of the 37th annual Martha’s Marathon, leaped up and cheered. “That was the highest bid in the history of Martha’s Marathon and that made the night for me – it was unbelievably awesome,” RHA President Noel […]
