President George W. Bush addressed the elite of Britain Nov. 19 and asked them to join the United States in his administration’s imperialist campaign to democratize the Middle East. Bush’s visit to our closest – or should I say, only – ally cost $8.5 million in security alone. But don’t think London wasted its money […]
The University will receive about $70,000 from the federal government to help cover costs associated with Hurricane Isabel in September, according to a University press release. The campus incurred $1.45 million in damages from the hurricane. The District was declared a federal disaster area, making GW eligible for federal assistance. GW spent $30,000 to house […]
No service problem As an incoming freshman this summer, the only thing I wasn’t looking forward to about life at GW was the food. I don’t like retail-style fast food, so I knew I’d have to find an alternative to J Street, even though it’s the most convenient dining option. It’s been almost three months, […]

The newspaper we read in the morning is printed on paper made from trees in Brazil, the coffee we drink is ground from Colombian beans and the cereal we eat comes from grains grown in South America. Despite the prevalence of […]

It is usually unjustified for students to ask for extra days off from school, especially at GW, where just a few years ago several law students sued the University for closing down because of inclement weather. But the policy of allotting only Thursday and Friday off for Thanksgiving break is insufficient and puts students and […]
