A female student was arrested after reportedly biting a University Police officer who approached her while she was intoxicated in the lobby of Ivory Tower early Friday. UPD Chief Dolores Stafford said that, according to a police report, the student bit one of the UPD officers in the arm while he was trying to sit […]
University officials hailed the class of 2009 as the most “academically prepared” in GW’s history, but a new Scholastic Achievement Test, may make it harder for administrators to judge the merits of next year’s incoming freshmen. The new SAT complete with an essay-writing section, Algebra II math questions and more critical reading passages, was introduced […]
GW will welcome transfer students from New Orleans universities at a special Colonial Inauguration Thursday, in an effort to introduce students to their temporary home in D.C. The program, which will run from noon to 7:30 p.m. in the Marvin Center’s Hippodrome, will focus on providing new students with information they’ll need during their stay […]

A man stands fastened to a cross, arms splayed and face contorted in agony. He is surrounded by people; some shout in triumph, while others weep with outstretched arms.

Such is the case with “Proof” (Miramax), John Madden’s adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by David Auburn. The film stars Gwyneth Paltrow (collaborating with Madden for the first time since her Oscar-winning […]
