Metropolitan Police arrested at least 654 people including at least 10 GW students in a weekend which saw heavy police presence and fewer demonstrators than expected for the International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings. Protesters, who planned to shut down the city, supported issues like debt relief for Third World countries, global justice and […]

By 10 a.m. Friday everything at Franklin Square had quieted down. Bike messengers on walkie-talkies and pigeons slowly filtered back into the area around 14th and I streets. Police in black chest pads and helmet-visors flipped back drank bottled water and munched breakfast bars on the sidewalks. A dreadlocked protester was lecturing a reporter furiously […]

The good thing about opening up conference play in Ohio is getting games against conference powerhouses Xavier and Dayton out of the way. The bad thing is having to play Xavier (10-5, 1-0 A-10) and Dayton (12-4, 1-1 A-10). But the GW volleyball team (10-5, 1-0 A-10) met the challenge, splitting its road trip with […]

Fordham junior Sarah Jensen has permanent marker all over her left arm. Written in thick black ink is a ten-digit number. It takes up almost her entire forearm. “This is the legal number,” she says at about 9 a.m., heading toward Freedom Plaza. “If we get arrested we call this number. Because when you are […]

The GW men’s soccer team lost 4-0 to Towson Thursday, a disappointing end to the Colonials’ non-conference schedule.

The GW women’s soccer team lost its conference opener to host Richmond Saturday in a 3-0 shutout at First Market Stadium. The Colonials were out-shot 25-7 by the Spiders and leading scorer Kim Warner was held to one shot. Richmond (4-2-1, 1-0 Atlantic 10) was a tough opponent for the Colonials’ first A-10 match, as […]

The GW women’s basketball team will have an opportunity this winter for revenge on the Lady Vols of Tennessee, one of the five 2002 NCAA tournament teams the Colonials will face during the upcoming season. The then-second-ranked Tennessee routed the Colonials at the Smith Center last November. This year the Colonials will travel to Knoxville […]

The GW men’s and women’s cross country teams recorded strong finishes at the annual GW Invitational Saturday, a race that featured some of the nation’s top teams. The women placed fourth overall and the men sixth on a sunny morning at Bull Run Park in Centreville, Va. No. 2 Georgetown placed first overall in the […]

They are still doing it every night. Both partners are still interested and the kids are happy. The unprecedented marriage between CNN and GW is thriving. CNN’s “Crossfire” hosts have said “The George Washington University” more than 350 times to an international audience and more than 21,000 individuals have watched a live taping in the […]

An unbalanced offensive attack and poor fast-break defense caused the GW men’s water polo team to lose four matches this weekend at the North/South Invitational in Princeton, N.J, head coach Scott Reed said. The non-conference losses to Brown, Harvard and Iona universities dropped the Colonials (2-8) well below .500 heading into conference play. More than […]
