In the second round of the 2003 NCAA Tournament, the Villanova women’s basketball team defeated GW en route to an Elite Eight showing. That game, Colonials head coach Joe McKeown said, still sticks in his mind. Wednesday night, McKeown showed the Wildcats that his squad could be the team going deep into March with a […]
Still waiting to get high with Harold and Kumar again? Well, you’re going to have to wait a little longer. But this Friday, Kumar, a.k.a. Kal Penn, returns to his roots as Taj Mahal Badalandabad in “National Lampoon’s Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj.” Taj enters Camford University hoping to follow in his father’s footsteps […]
GW students have an odd habit of popping up all over D.C. From Congressional offices to the hippest clubs, we help to keep this sometimes-stodgy town vibrant and fresh. If the District’s tantalizing cultural institutions aren’t enough to draw students into the city, GW helps students to engage the city through adjunct professors who also […]
Walking up to the 9:30 Club on Sunday night, I was a little concerned. My assignment was to do a live show review of Peaches and the Herms with supporting act Quintron and Miss Pussycat. Peaches shows are notorious for pushing sexual boundaries, being flamboyant, featuring nudity and for often having giant penises on stage. […]
Why do Egyptian Plover birds perch on the bodies of crocodiles? More intriguing is the question of why the crocodiles endure the birds’ presence.

The Madhatter Bar and Restaurant 1831 M St., N.W. Last Friday night, my friends and I experienced the inevitable decline of an evening that begins with an utterly depressing and ultimately incomprehensible Darren Aronofsky film. How, we asked ourselves, were we to shake the image of a completely shaven, space-pod-encapsuled, and hysterically crying Hugh Jackman […]
In the past two years, I’ve interviewed my fair share of bands. Whether they’re a pop diva or punk rocker, all interviewees get the same treatment and the same question: “What does your music mean to you?” “I think it’s a treatise on the geopolitical state of the world,” answered guitarist Jason Bell. Bell, along […]
If you have $5 Put it in the Christmas (or Chanukah or Kwanzaa or Winter Solstice) gift fund and go to the Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center, your go-to source for free entertainment, for a Merry Tuba Christmas. You’ll get to hear holiday favorites interpreted by local tuba, euphonium and sousaphone players. You really […]
Several crimes in residence halls this month have tested the strength of the new Residential Advisory Council committees. GW Housing Programs created RACs last spring as a non-punitive replacement for community facilitators in residence halls. RAC committees consist of about 10 residents in each hall who organize events and work with the University Police Department […]
By leading Villanova 37-20 at halftime and winning 73-47, the GW women’s basketball team reversed a recent undesirable trend. Prior to Wednesday night, the squad has been plagued by sluggish first-half starts. They have routinely found themselves facing early deficits, forcing them to play from behind. The Colonials trailed James Madison University by 16 points […]
