On Saturday night, for perhaps one of the first times in his career, Frank Robinson completely ignored the score. The Washington Nationals’ 13-0 pummeling by the New York Mets seemed to roll off the skipper’s back. No concerns about hitting. No rant about trying to get on a roll to pick up some games in […]
Senior Annie Kelly is in Minnesota this semester working as assistant campaign manager for Governor Tim Pawlenty’s re-election run. She said she owes her job, and every other internship she has had, to one student organization. “I got this job because I am a College Republican,” Kelly said. “In fact, every political job I have […]

Last year, student activists on campus urged the administration to divest University holdings from companies that do business in the African country. The University refused to divest, but members of Students Taking […]
Zipcar, a membership-based car-rental service, increased the number of cars offered on campus in response to growing Foggy Bottom demand. The company offers 20 cars on or near campus ranging from pickup trucks to MINI Coopers for the 1,000 students and staff members who subscribed to Zipcar this year.

Kirkwood and Siegel work for the National Park Service as historical re-enactors and give boat tours […]
