Most GW students do not concern themselves with local politics – and with good reason. With the major agencies of the federal government only blocks from campus, there is not much interest in the minutiae of Advisory Neighborhood Commissions or the D.C. City Council. Yet, it is these very institutions that play a major role […]

People say that food brings a family together. For the Culinary Arts Living and Learning Community in Fulbright Hall, even a bowl of cereal does the trick. Many nights, Fulbright’s sixth floor is a potluck, with students meeting in the hall. The group gets together for feasting parties, including “BYOB” parties (as in “bring your […]

Junior Jeffrey Parker, a history major from Winston-Salem, N.C., is spending the spring semester in Oxford, England, after also spending the fall term there. Twice a month, he will share his experiences and observations from England as one of GW’s many expats. God save the Queen. At GW, finding out my grades is a relatively […]

The Bush administration’s effort to sustain support for the occupation of Iraq was dealt one of its biggest blows last week by the residents of Hebron, Ramallah and Gaza City, who gave an overwhelming victory in Palestinian legislative elections to Hamas. To the Western world, the terrorist group’s victory drove home the messy truth that […]

What does it take to make the front page? A panel of Washington Post editors and reporters addressed that question – and more – at the West End Neighborhood Library Saturday morning. Six Washington Post journalists addressed a 50-person audience consisting mostly of Foggy Bottom residents at the program, titled “The Front Page – How […]

Senior Pops Mensah-Bonsu, the preseason All-American candidate, played like the player whose name was tossed around in June’s NBA draft, with 17 points […]

With Atlantic 10 conference play nearly halfway through, the women’s basketball team finds itself in a tie for first place in the conference with Charlotte. The Colonials posted weekend wins over Fordham on Friday and at Richmond on Sunday, giving them a 14-5 record overall, 7-1 mark in conference. GW entered Richmond coming off a […]

The final score in GW’s home win against the Rhode Island Rams was somewhat misleading. Although the Colonials registered an 81-62 victory, the game was very close until a commanding GW run over the game’s last 10 minutes put it out of reach. Still, though, there were many aspects of the game that provided compelling […]

Hard works pay off After GW’s 55-53 loss to Massachusetts Jan. 22, the Colonials recommitted themselves in the gym last week knowing that their opponents saw them as vulnerable. The increased effort was evident in the 31 turnovers that GW forced Sunday while allowing Fordham the lowest point total of any Atlantic 10 opponent since […]
