Like many of the films it features, the D.C. Shorts Film Festival has a fantastic director and an intriguing story, breaks new ground and reaffirms old friendships – and is over all too soon. The festival, which screened 89 short films over the competition weekend of Sept. 13, culminated in an awards brunch Sept. 16. […]
With a significant win against Santa Clara and a one-goal loss to No. 11 Bucknell already under its belt this season, the men’s water polo team is off to a promising start, just as it was last year. What head coach Scott Reed hopes to avoid is a repeat of the team’s seven-game losing streak […]
Ask any college student how they feel after spring break and the answer would probably be refreshed. Maybe a little hungover, but refreshed nonetheless. Whether it is the traditional pilgrimage to some uproarious student-infested beach or something a little more low-key, times are spent traveling to new places and exploring new things. Most importantly, there […]
GW men’s basketball coach Karl Hobbs signed a one-year extension that will keep him under contract until July 2012. Director of Athletics Jack Kvancz said that the contract was a reward for Hobbs, who has led the Colonials to three straight NCAA tournaments and a 114-65 record during his seven-year tenure. “He’s done a great […]

From former University President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg’s luxury Lexus SUV to the current president’s energy conscious Prius – change at GW is evident. This new “green” outlook is a welcome addition to a University that is sadly behind the times in terms of its largely negative impact on the environment. With the addition of University […]
The recent proposition to allow D.C. residents a voice on the federal scene was shot down Tuesday, once more leaving more than 580,000 American citizens left without a vote in Congress. This case isn’t about fundamental rights of an American population, but unfortunately it became yet another example of partisan politics. While at this point […]
With all the changes that GW has seen this year, two things have stayed consistent thus far: we’re still the most expensive school in the country and we still underpay our faculty. Last week, the University of California, Berkeley announced that the Hewlett Foundation would supplement Berkeley’s $2.5 billion endowment with another $113 million, to […]
