Throngs of protesters descended upon Washington D.C on World AIDS Day Saturday to voice their discontent with the Bush administration’s policy on AIDS. They clamored for more money for African countries to fight an epidemic that has enveloped the entire continent. Protesters shouted the names of countries deeply affected by AIDS – Botswana, South Africa, […]

From the left: Increase prevention and treatment by Bernard Pollack In light of the recent commemoration of World AIDS Day, the Bush administration needs to drastically change the U.S. policy toward AIDS, both domestically and internationally.

Representatives from the Student Alliance for Israel, the Israel Peace Project and […]

As any educator can attest, admissions procedures are kept under lock and key. This secrecy in their admissions process allows each school to keep an advantage over the competition. When I applied to law school, I took notice of the fancy grids that predicted potential success rates of admittance to the schools. I also read […]

Freshman Mike Plytynski said he avoids five of his friends on Wednesday nights because the atmosphere they create is “too intense” and their attitudes are “too hardcore.” Like several other GW students, Plytynski’s friends sit down each Wednesday to watch NBC’s “The West Wing,” anticipating what the president’s next move will be on the political […]
