Debate moderator “very impressed” with Dean, Gingrich
When Professor Derek Malone-France took the stage Tuesday night, he was joined by two polarizing political figures. Howard Dean, former governor and chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and Newt Gingrich, former speaker of the United States House, sparred for about an hour during a debate that spanned a variety of hot-button issues. From...

Because GW Clearly Isn’t Perceived as Godless Enough Already.
A College Democrat decided to do some interior decorating of the CD/CR office…by desecrating crosses. Real S-M-R-T, man. The College Republicans were in possession of a number of crucifixes used in a University-sanctioned Right To Life display. When the display was taken down, they were stored in the College Repulicans’ side of their shared...

Hey, Big Spenders
I’ve gotten a look at the allocations bill that will go up for consideration next Tuesday. It’s available here. There will be more to say about this later on, but I’ll offer you now the top ten (er, eleven) largest allocations: 1. Student Bar Association – $61,5002. Medical Center Student Council – $40,5003. Masters...

Scuttlebutt, however,...

In the interest of critical self-examination, I’ll reproduce here (without much comment) some sections of the e-mail with which I actually agreed or which I think are worth considering....

College Democrats Host Wildly Half-Successful Event, Are Not Entirely Neglected By Keynote Speaker
The Daily Colonial has the (depressing, predictable) story. U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN was set to be the College Democrats Kick-Off event guest speaker on Wednesday, but when the senator was not able to make the appearance, the College Democrats had to quickly rearrange the event. Instead, two staffers from Klobuchar’s Washington, D.C. office...

Hatchet Letter
I sent in a couple of letters to the Hatchet for print. This one didn’t make it: It’s unfortunate that President Aswani is still advising SA allocation the same way it has been done in the past. It seems political organizations such as the College Democrats and College Republicans will inevitably get a significant...

The Hatchet Supports a Fee Increase
Having already editorialized in favor of past (and failed) fee increase proposals, today the GW Hatchet editorial page sang the praises of the latest fee increase proposal: Life at an urban college can be intimidating and present fewer opportunities for involvement in student organizations. This is especially true when smaller organizations are left the...
