September means a lot of different things at GW: getting professors to sign you into a class, (maybe) buying books for said class and perhaps lining up that internship your parents keep hounding you about. But above all, it means figuring out a way to work all that “important” stuff around all the concerts that […]
Volleyball The volleyball team opened its 2007 season with a 1-2 record, including a 1-1 record in the D.C. Challenge at American University Aug. 25. The team also lost at George Mason 3-1 Aug. 24 in Fairfax. Senior Janine Brown recorded 26 digs in a 3-0 win over Georgetown and 25 spikes in the Colonials’ […]

On his third major release, Brooklyn, N.Y., native Talib Kweli has reached a new plateau of beautiful hip-hop. While most rap albums these days only have two or three good songs (if that) on them, “Ear Drum” doesn’t contain a single track worth skipping over, due in part from the all-star production team that includes […]
