West Indefensible Curtis Whatley’s column defending Kanye West (“More than just a rapper,” Sept. 8, p. 5) is perhaps the most ridiculous Bush-bashing column I’ve ever read. Whatley defends West’s comments that “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” arguing that West is head of his time. Actually, it appears that West is behind his […]
D.C. might not be an outdoorsman’s paradise, but this big city has more to offer than concrete jungles and asphalt gardens. The nation’s capital is actually an extremely outdoor-friendly city, with miles of trails, parks and waterways. So, interested in crossing a stream rather than 23rd Street? Or, want to ditch the cab for a […]
Students may soon have a little less trouble making it out to Dulles International Airport. To ease the stress of travel, the Student Association is working to start an airport shuttle service from the Foggy Bottom campus to Virginia’s Dulles International Airport that could be running by Thanksgiving. SA Executive Vice President Morgan Corr has […]
For students at American University, laundry day no longer means hoping for an available washer or dryer when walking into the laundry room. AU students can now go online and check for available machines from the comfort of their dorm rooms. The online laundry system, called e-Suds.net, was installed in nine AU residence halls with […]

Nearly four years later, thinking about Sept. 11 is still one of few things capable of moving me to tears. It was unbelievably humbling to observe how the events of Sept. 11 united Americans. For a few months, Americans ceased to divide themselves by their differences. Instead, they united behind one another in temporarily dissolving […]
The GW Student Association is famous – or infamous – for being plagued with all the bickering, partisan divides and egos of a real government body. Students discussing the politics and the bureaucracy of the SA often sigh, “Only at GW.” But how fair is that characterization? While it’s difficult to make an exact judgment […]
Sept. 11: the date we and our generation will never forget. To the families and friends of the victims, every year as the date approaches, so does the unforgettable memory of the loss of their loved ones. We all will remember where we were when we learned of the tragic flights. I was a freshman […]
Our View: A national day of service on 9/11 would galvanize U.S. citizens into taking responsibility for their country. The University had no problem executing a planned moment of silence for Sept. 11 at 8:46 a.m., since this past Sunday – like all others – most students were still sleeping off the debauchery of the […]

Stewart will be performing twice at the Smith Center on Friday, Oct. 21, at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. The […]
