I certainly do miss GW for numerous reasons, but the irrelevant ranting of conservative students is definitely not one of them. In response to the news piece on Bush’s visit (“Bush speaks on campus,” Oct. 17, p.1), I would just like to note that an educational institution blessed with the abundant resources of Washington, D.C.

St. Paul, Minn. – Saturday morning the Minnesota wind was particularly rough. The gray sky clouded over the city of St. Paul.

With the win the Colonials salvaged a split over their two game home stand, after having lost to Dayton 3-1 Friday. Junior co-captain Sarah Hokom’s four solo blocks led GW’s […]
