Party Bus Transportation to Virgin Festival Last weekend, a group of friends and I headed over to Baltimore’s Virgin Festival for a day of old people (the Who), crazy people (The Flaming Lips) and people who used to wear socks on their penises, but now just have a whole lot to say about California (The […]
GW hosted one of the East coast’s largest professional school fairs for Monday and Tuesday in the Smith Center, event organizers said. A committee from the D.C. Consortium of Colleges and Universities organizes the event, which they expected to draw more than 2,000 people. GW, American, Howard, Catholic, George Mason, Marymount, Gallaudet, Trinity and the […]
Student Association President Lamar Thorpe announced Tuesday that free condoms will be available in freshman residence halls starting Thursday. The initiative will put condoms in a bowl near security checkpoints at freshman residence halls.

From the “Superdorm” to Potomac House When Daniel Kane, a law and public policy professor, […]
Normally, all you can buy in Kogan Plaza are cheap earrings and Bob Marley posters. But from Monday to Wednesday, a whole store appeared – complete with music, wood floors, Oriental rugs and fake vintage posters. Has GW turned into a mall? Not quite yet. It’s the Levi’s Style Search, a nationwide hunt for college […]
BALTIMORE – Gray skies didn’t ruin the mood for the 40,000 concert-goers who piled into the Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore for Saturday’s Virgin Festival.

Ramesh Ponnuru addresses the history, constitutional foundations and public opinion regarding Roe v.

“Jesus Camp” doesn’t try to explain why Evangelical Christians are a millions-strong group. Filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady instead focus on a strange, intense part of this massive movement. The results are frightening, but it’s only a small slice of a morally and politically complicated phenomenon. Ewing and Grady say they set out to […]
