The “Social” Safeway 1850 Wisconsin Ave., NW Friday, March 7, 2003 3:05 p.m. Every weekend it’s the same. I put on some tight pants, mascara, tall boots and head out to a bar. Standing in a cloud of smoke on a beer-soaked floor, I make dull conversation with guys of varied blood alcohol levels. It’s […]
After watching the success Evan Marriott had on “Joe Millionaire,” I decided it would be fun to try to create my own reality show. And even though I didn’t have the resources to re-create anything close to the $50 million yarn Fox spun on national TV, I do know how to lie. So I thought, […]
Army reservist and law student Rich Murphy knew it would not be long before he would be activated for duty, but he never thought the call would come only one month after completing his basic training.

Many students worry about student loan payments once they graduate. To begin with, these bills will become priority because the government tends to be a less-than- forgiving creditor. When faced with a choice between paying the government and being a little late with another bill, keep in mind that defaulting Uncle Sam will damage a […]

But now, with GW’s new housing policy, some juniors and seniors will pay room and board while they are abroad. According to an administration-produced housing advertisement (see p. […]
Former presidential candidate Ralph Nader urged the Bush administration to take protective health measures for troops sent to the Middle East at the National Press Club Thursday. The news conference included seven other speakers, including Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) and Rep.
