Four years ago, dinnertime at J Street was an event for a large portion of the GW community. Students packed into the food court, and it was difficult to even find a seat. Beginning this semester, would-be diners will not even be able to eat dinner at half of the Marvin Center’s venues thanks to […]
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter received mixed reviews after visiting GW and defending the validity of his new book, “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid,” in a March 8 lecture at Lisner Auditorium. The 39th president has been the subject of debate because of the subject matter in his book, which critics say contains a pro-Palestinian bias. […]
Earlier this semester, while strolling through the Ivory Tower lobby past midnight, I encountered a group of GW cheerleaders selling baked goods as a fundraiser.

The Good, The Bad and The Queen, at the moment, are the most important band in the UK. That being said, here is a review of their concert. First, the music. It’s fantastic. If you haven’t heard it, hear it. The group is a supergroup of trans-regional, trans-generational music icons including Clash bassist Paul Simonon, […]
The Reef 2446 18th St. N.W. Before a barrage of rain, sleet and snow pushed us back into a wintry mix last week, it was warm enough for Colonials in D.C. for Spring Break to imagine, briefly, that they were really getting bombed in the Bahamas or crunked in Cancun. It was warm enough for […]

George Blair’s (ESIA-U) student fee increase bill was sent to the Finance Committee […]
