Professors are reaching out to Foggy Bottom and D.C. residents through the Faculty Senate’s University and Urban Affairs Committee by organizing a community speaker series. The speaker series takes place at St. Mary’s Court, a retirement community next to New Hall on 24th Street. The committee also arranges for classes to perform curriculum-related services for […]
In a move that will help ensure an important student service, the University recently agreed to pick up the tab for the Emergency Medical Response Group. This student organization deserves to be free from a political and convoluted Student Association allocation system, but other groups should realize that they are not entitled to consistent funding […]
The annual Student Association meeting about allocating money to student organizations has lasted until 4 or 5 a.m. in recent years. Tuesday night’s allocations meeting ended just before midnight – but not everyone was happy it was over so soon. With about $180,000 less available to allocate to student organizations this year as compared to […]
Blowjobs, weed, beer, porn and a three-way – no, it’s not the latest crime report from UPD, but some of the subject matter of the Theater Department’s risqu? new show, “Juvenilia.” Set in the dorm of a small liberal arts college, on a full 360-degree rotating stage, the department’s latest play follows a group of […]
Unbeknownst to GW administrators, I have been working with a major television network to base a show here on campus – “Budget Survivor.” The premise of the show is simple.

The news agency reported that […]
51st State Tavern 2512 L St., N.W. I stopped by 51st State last week to help retire my friend’s fake I.D. on her last night of underage drinking. A group of friends had gathered there for beer and wings before heading across the street to McFadden’s for a midnight 21st birthday extravaganza of $1 beers. […]
Reform higher education without restricting economic liberty I agree with Stine Dahlberg’s column (“A Shift in Tuition Thinking is Possible,” Oct. 9, p. 4) only as far as her argument that the American university system could use much improvement. The writer attempts to argue in favor of the idea of a “utopian university” – but […]
The University Police Department is investigating how fecal matter appeared in the lobby and stairwell of Gelman Library at around 8 p.m. Monday evening. UPD and library officials said they could not comment on the situation because it is being investigated. “The issue that we have is since it’s under investigation by UPD we can’t […]
When entering the Warner Theater to see “Rain: The Beatles Experience,” I was little equipped for what would follow. Armed only with a promise that it would be the “next best thing to seeing the Beatles live” and an introduction/desperate solicitation for listeners by a local radio station, the lights dimmed and the typical list […]
