University Police officers seized a large quantity of marijuana last week in simultaneous raids of three Thurston Hall rooms. UPD conducted at least two of the searches based on information from a freshman who now fears retaliation from several people that were cited for drug possession. On Jan. 21, UPD officers searched the Thurston rooms […]
GW Inaugural Ball I hope I don’t disappoint my loyal readers by admitting that, yes, I attended the GW Inaugural Ball. I even have my tile/coaster party favor to prove it. Politics aside, I decided why not take up my parents’ offer to have them buy my ticket and get drunk. The ball began at […]
The Student Association Senate adjourned at 2:38 a.m. Wednesday without passing a 2005 Joint Elections Committee Charter to govern the March elections.

In 2002, Taking Back Sunday, a little-known band from Long Island, broke into the music scene with their first album Tell All Your Friends (Victory Records). Since the album’s release, the band coursed its way along the Billboard Music chart, claiming a spot every week for two years straight. But just when it seemed like […]

A fashionable alternative to writing from scratch is to find an existing collection of songs and create a plot that encompasses all of the lyrics. Is this post-modernity at its finest, or mere laziness? Previously applied to George and Ira Gershwin for the […]
Senate may put more money into co-sponsorships The Student Association Finance Committee received $105,173 from the 2003-04 budget surplus on Tuesday night. Some of that money will be given to student groups as co-sponsorships. The SA has $57,369 remaining in the co-sponsorship fund, an amount that can be increased by the Senate.
