Senior outfielder Mike Bassett was named Atlantic 10 Co-Player of the Week and freshman pitcher Justin Orenduff was named A-10 Rookie of the Week, the conference announced Monday.

The Hungry Hungry Hippos, the GW men’s ultimate Frisbee team, went undefeated to win its sectional tournament at Salisbury State University last weekend. With the win, the Hippos received a second-seed berth to the regional tournament in Princeton N.J. A top-three finish at regionals would give the Hippos an invitation to the national championship tournament […]
The hotline that enables GW faculty, students and employees to file anonymous complaints against any University employee is too vulnerable for abuse and an illegitimate solution to the problem that spurred its creation – protecting the University from potential lawsuits stemming from a staff member’s conduct. The new complaint line, dubbed the compliance line by […]

But I am pointing out that these people do not enjoy killing themselves, they do it because they feel it is one of their […]
To the students denied access to protest the celebration of a Jewish holiday, I have extra meal points saved to buy each of you a box of Kleenex.
