Christmas time is upon us, and you know what that means: Santa Claus, sugar plum fairies and rock bands sacrificing themselves at radio festivals to get some air play.

In its first issue, The GW Carver investigated racial tension in D.C. – racial tension between gray and white squirrels, to be precise. The Carver, the University’s satirical newspaper, pokes fun at the GW community with fake news stories. “We like to be devil’s advocate on a lot of issues just for the hell of […]
“Closer” (Sony Pictures) is a movie about love at first sight – and it’s to writer Patrick Marber’s credit that he manages to make that notion sound utterly unbearable.

T.J. plays for GW, Landy plays for Mount St. Mary’s College. Many aspects of their personalities, even their fashion sense, are very different. Twenty-two-year-old T.J.’s size 46 shorts droop almost to the tops of […]
