Philly star lands at GW

As a coach in the Atlantic 10, GW men’s basketball coach Karl Hobbs knows what he’s up against. The Colonials do not have a sparkling new arena or a campus full of green space to show off to recruits. But as he has proven with two strong recruiting classes in 2002 and 2003, Hobbs does […]

Taking classes and getting engaged

Most people don’t expect to meet the person they will spend the rest of their lives with at Colonial Inauguration. But senior Jody Elliott and her fianc?, senior Jeff Schrimmer, are not typical college students.

After losing my latest mating partner, my mind raced with questions about the sex lives of single guys and gals. How do these packs of singles survive the cold and lonely winter? Without anyone to cuddle […]

Column: The scandal association

Why should our student leaders hold their cabinet meetings at J Street with the rest of the peasants? Why should the Student Association President’s staff have to drink water and cola? They put in so much time and effort representing students; what kind of constituents would we be if we didn’t let the SA President […]

Men’s soccer locks up A-10 Tournament spot

The GW men’s soccer team secured a spot in the Atlantic 10 Tournament Saturday with a 4-0 win over Richmond. The Colonials (7-8-3, 6-3-2 A10) needed the victory to guarantee a bid in the conference tournament.

Letters to the Editor

Have hope I’ve been through quite an emotional journey in the last few days. Wednesday morning I was furious at the American people and depressed at what we were left with. During John Kerry’s speech I was devastated, but also inspired by his heartfelt outpouring. I encourage all of you to take the time to […]
