Upon observing the behavior of a few of my friends, I reached the conclusion that the average college student is absolutely terrified of being cheated on. We all know that it happens and there’s a good chance we’ve been directly involved. Enrollment in college is essentially the world’s best excuse for promiscuity, and even if […]

Few know his first name, but almost everyone on the Mount Vernon Campus knows his signature phrase: “Take ’em on down now.” Mr. Plummer – who said he only shares his first name with those who win his respect – is the supervisor of The Vern Express, a difficult but often unnoticed job on GW’s […]

Some college students dream of leaving school and touring with a band. Others, like Louie Diller, simply go for it. Until spring 2008, Diller was a GW student in the Elliott School of International Affairs, with a concentration in international affairs and a minor in jazz studies.

A number of crosses used by the conservative Young America’s Foundation during an anti-abortion event last month were defaced in a Marvin Center office, and a member of the College Democrats has taken responsibility. Members of the College Republicans found the crosses on Monday evening scattered around the office they share with the College Democrats. […]
