Gelman Library is the only building on campus in dire need of repair that is being completely ignored by the University. And its despair shocks me every time I pass through the turnstiles. Gelman is not a top priority for the University, but renovating the Mount Vernon Campus’ academic space, adding a multi-million dollar Science […]
The popular Froggy Bottom Pub is lobbying community members to extend the pub’s weekend hours until 3 a.m. The restaurant portion of the pub is open until 11 p.m. nightly and the bar closes at 2 a.m., but with later hours, the pub could continue service and carryout on the main floor. At the Foggy […]
Hogan earns bid to NCAA Championship next weekend Senior women’s cross-country runner Megan Hogan finished third Sunday at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship in State College, Pa., qualifying her for the NCAA Championship meet next Saturday in Terre Haute, Ind.

Just one win. That’s all the volleyball team needed to clinch its spot in the Atlantic 10 Tournament. A single victory in any one of GW’s final eight games and Sunday’s home game against Xavier wouldn’t have marked the end of the season for the Colonials. Instead, GW lost to Xavier, like it did against […]
Four Loko is an exceptionally efficient beverage. It has as much alcohol in one brightly colored can as five light beers. It has as much caffeine as two cups of coffee. At a single party at Central Washington University, nine students were hospitalized after overconsuming the potent beverage. Truly an awful beverage. Dangerous, ubiquitous and […]
