March 29, 2009 News in Depth

The Student Court and how it changed the outcome of the 2009 SA presidential election…

That was the main topic this past week on News In Depth with Jared Pliner & Jesse Regis. Jesse was off Sunday.

For forty-five minutes Pliner was joined in studio by Christopher Wimbush, chief judge of the GW Student Court and Ethan Elser, vice chair of the Marvin Center Governing Board. Wimbush spoke of (and defended) the Court’s latest decision in Boyer v. JEC, which affirmed the decision of the Joint Elections Commission and blocked EVP Kyle Boyer from the presidential runoff.

As the discussion continued, Elser focused on the second topic of the program: SA reform in the age of “Julie.” Elser and Wimbush both acknowledged serious flaws within the current student government structure, but said they would oppose radical measures to alter it – including disbandment.

Wimbush is a graduating senior and plans to attend law school at the University of Virginia. Elser is a junior.

And for the very latest in all things political here on campus and around the country and for the very best in college radio, tune in to News In Depth with Jared Pliner & Jesse Regis, Sundays from 12 to 1, only on one station: GW Radio!

Career Center Helps Graduates

As graduation is approaching many seniors are beginning to become anxious about their future career plans. With the hurting economy many are worried it will be difficult to find jobs.

And many students are turning to GW’s Career Center for help. The Career Center encourages students to continue applying for jobs because people are still hiring and the employment market will change. Students should also participate in internships because many companies prefer to hire from their own internship pool.

The Career Center also has specific advice for students on how to adapt to this specific employment crisis; for example, plan early, update your resume frequently, stay informed about organizations and companies you are interested in, and attend plenty of workshops and employer information sessions. The Career Center is also becoming more involved by being in touch with employers, posting job positions, and recruiting GW students. It is also closely watching the job market so they can better inform students. They recently held their Spring Career Fair and throughout the rest of the semester will be holding many different events.

Students are encouraged to seek help from the Career Center by either going on their website or by attending events. On March 31, coach and job- search expert, Peter Combs will be visiting GW to guide students in finding a job.

GW Students Rally Against Westboro Baptist Church

[caption id="attachment_1673" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Students from all over came to rally against the Westboro Baptist Church"][/caption]

People from all over the DC-metro area rallied at the White House today to counter the protest held by the Westboro Baptist Church, an organization that advocates for the systematic execution of homosexuals and their families and the deaths of our troops overseas.

The counter-protest was led by GW students and LGBT advocates Colin MacDonald and Ian Goldin, who used Facebook to amass a group of fifty members to the Church’s seven. The group did not have a permit to protest, and thus had to remain in the streets, where they raised over five hundred dollars for Gays and Lesbians Opposing Violence in what they called the Phelps-athon, named after Fred Phelps, leader of the Church.

The group was notably diverse, including Republicans and Democrats, gays and straights, men and women, and people of all different religions. Students from other schools also came to join the GW students, including members of the University of Maryland's College Republicans. The main chant and theme of the counter-protest was “God Doesn’t Hate,” to counter the message of the Church, which is that God hates troops, gays, and Islam, among other demographics.

While the Church dragged American flags back and forth across the sidewalk, the group sang patriotic songs such as the Star-Spangled Banner, God Bless America, and God Bless the USA. At one point, GW student and proud Catholic Michele Walk invited everyone to take a moment to “pray for the souls” of the members of the Westboro Baptist Church.

“We will forgive you,” someone shouted into the megaphone, which turned into a chant chorused by everyone in the vicinity.

There were also chants of a slightly more humorous, albeit perhaps more offensive, nature, including “Two, four, six, eight, how do you know your kids are straight?” and “J-E-S-U-S, Jesus Christ is Fabulous.”

When the Westboro Baptist Church began to leave, the large crowd began to follow them out, singing “Na-na-na-na, hey hey hey, Goodbye.” Police were present on horseback to ensure the Church members’ safe leave from the area.

The group then celebrated what they considered to be a large victory for the cause. “Love is stronger than hate,” MacDonald concluded, to which everyone gave a loud cheer.

Basketball Season Ends

The Basketball season officially ended last Thursday for GW when the lady Colonials lost in the first round of the Women’s National Invitational Tournament. GW faced the Eagles from the Florida Gulf Coast University and lost in overtime by a final score of 94 to 97. The Eagles were the 2009 Atlantic-Sun conference champions. Florida Gulf Coast University was recently established in 1991, and its athletics program has competed in Division I for just two years. In 2008, their Women’s basketball program became the first team to qualify for the WNIT in its first season of Division I sports.

The future for the GW Women’s basketball program is hazy. After two consecutive appearances in the NCAA Sweet 16, the first round defeat in the WNIT is a sobering reminder of how much the team has been affected by Joe McKeown’s departure as well as veteran players being lost to graduation.

For the men’s team, this is the second straight year that they have failed to qualify for any post season play, leading many to question how much longer Karl Hobbes will be serving as head coach.

Bindelglass Wins SA Presidency

After a grueling student election season, we have a winner.

Julie Bindelglass narrowly defeated Nick Polk with 51.87 percent of the vote in yesterday's run-off election.  The results will soon be certified by the Joint Elections Committee.

Bindelglass is a sophomore and is a current CCAS senator and chair of the finance committee.  She is involved on campus with Campaign GW, Balance: The GW Ballet Group, and Chi Omega.

Kyle Boyer, the candidate for SA president who received the most votes in the general election, was removed from the ballot this week after the student court ruled that the JEC acted within its power to remove Boyer from the ballot after campaign finance reporting violations.

Current SA President Vishal Aswani said in a statement, "I want to congratulate both Julie and Nick on a hard fought and successful run-off election.  With that in mind, I personally want to congratulate Julie Bindelglass for her election tonight.  I am confident in the work that she will be able to do as my successor this upcoming year."

Aswani said that the transition process will begin on Monday.

Obama on Campus this Morning

President Barack Obama will be stopping by Lisner Auditorium this morning to officially install new Attorney General Eric Holder.

The ceremony, scheduled to begin at 10 am, is an event to swear in all attorney generals and will include a speech by both Obama and Holder.

Holder received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from The George Washington University, was a GW Trustee from 1996-1997, and was member of the GW Homeland Security Policy Institute Steering Committee.

Only a small number of tickets were made available to the GW community and these were distributed on an invitation-only basis, the Hatchet reports.

 

A GW alert update on the event states:

"From approximately 9:30 a.m. until the conclusion of the event, H Street, NW, between 21st and 22nd streets, will be closed to vehicular traffic. Street parking will be prohibited and vehicles will be towed. Pennsylvania Ave. at 21st St. also will be restricted to vehicular traffic during the event.

Pedestrians may be temporarily restricted from accessing portions of the 2100 block of H Street during this time. The H Street entrance to the Marvin Center and parking garage also may be closed temporarily during the ceremony. Gelman Library will remain open."

 

The event will be broadcast on GWTV and at the Marvin Center.

Fountain Fling to Feature Spoon

On Wednesday morning, Program Board and the Mount Vernon Programming Council announced that Spoon will be playing at this year’s "Fountain Fling."

An Indie rock band originally from Texas, Spoon released their best selling album, Gimmie Fiction, in 2005. The album debuted at the tenth spot on the Billboard 200. Their latest album, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga was released in July 2007. One of the band’s most popular songs is “The Way We Get By,” from the album Kill the Moonlight, which was popularized by the television series The O.C.

Spoon will be flying in from a performance at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival to perform at the event on April 25 from 3 to 7 p.m.

Fountain Fling this year is a combination of both the Spring Fling and Fountain Day events and will include a barbeque, giveaways and student performances. Program Board announced that the event was moved to the Mount Vernon campus after they learned that the Smith Center would not be available as a rain site for Spring Fling due to scheduled construction projects. Instead, Fountain Fling will be held on the Mount Vernon Quad and will be split between the parking garage, Lloyd Gym and the Mount Vernon Pub in the case of rain. Students on the Foggy Bottom campus should head to Fountain Fling via The Vern Express, which is located at the corner of 23rd and H streets (next to Fulbright Hall), and will be making departures continuously (every 5-10 minutes) from both campuses throughout Fountain Fling.

J Street Signs Improve Atmosphere

J Street is looking better than ever after helpful and attractive signs were placed throughout GW’s main dining facility.

When students returned after Spring Break, many noticed that signs had been put up all over J Street while they were away. These signs hang on the walls behind such eating establishments as Ya Ya’s, Little Italy, and Chick-Fil-A, advertising what each kiosk has to offer.

Signs were also placed in J Street Café, inviting students to “Build your own plate” with fresh entrees, soups, and an extensive salad bar.

These menu boards, most of which are back-lit, add sparkle to the dining hall many students have called mundane in the past.

These improvements are not the only changes J Street has seen in recent weeks: just last month, a new Mexican food bar was installed next to Little Italy, which has quickly become the most popular establishment in J Street after students joined together to petition the university to add Mexican food to the menu earlier in the school year.

Law & Order: GWU

Welcome to WRGW’s Law & Order, our first edition back from spring break.

First up, a story from over break. A robbery was attempted in the University Parking Garage at 22^nd and H Streets. A masked male subject approached the female complainant from behind as she was entering her car, and he demanded that she give him her phone. The subject fled after the complainant screamed. University Police officers responded and searched the area, but were unable to find him. The complainant’s description states that the subject is a black male, 5’7” to 5’8”, 160 to 170 pounds and of medium build, at the time wearing a black ski mask and a dark bulky jacket.

According the university's Crime Alert system, another attempted robbery occurred yesterday (Tuesday) in the 2100 block of H Street when a male subject grabbed the female complainant's phone and fled west of H Street. A witness followed the subject and caught him in the Metro station. The witness got the phone back, but the subject got on a train and left the area. The subject is a black male, 5'7", 130 pounds, approximately 14 to 17 years old, at the time wearing a turquoise shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers.

A case of simple assault reported by UPD officers on public property on campus. Officers on patrol observed a female, found to be a GW student, staggering through campus. While the officers had the subject perform standard sobriety tests, she attempted to slap one of the officers, as well as removed one of her shoes and threw it at one of the officers. The individual was placed in protective custody and transported to GWER for treatment.

UPD was contacted for two separate cases of lewd acts in the Marvin Center ground floor men’s restroom. On two different occasions, officers received a report of a subject masturbating in the restroom. One individual was unaffiliated with GW, and thus barred from campus. The other individual was identified as a staff member of the university; that case was closed and referred to the department.

And the Commencement Speaker is...

[caption id="attachment_1598" align="alignleft" width="230" caption="image from the LA Times"] [/caption]

1:06 a.m. EST

Rumor has it that GW's class of 2009 Commencement speaker will be Rahm Emanuel, President Barack Obama's Chief of Staff.

According to a source close to the selection process, WRGW was able to confirm tonight that this rumor is true.

While there has yet to be an official announcement from Knapp's office, we can expect it to be made in the coming weeks.

Prior to being designated as Chief of Staff, Emanuel was the Representative for Illinois's 5th district. Emanuel is noted for his strong Jewish heritage and candid moments. He graduated from Sarah Lawrence College and earned a masters in speech from Northwestern University. Emanuel also served as a senior advisor to former President Bill Clinton and in between stints in Washington, he worked as an investment banker.

WRGW will have more information as it becomes available.

Student Court Rules Boyer Off the Ballot

Despite being two votes shy of winning the entire election, the Student Court ruled tonight that the Joint Election Committee was right to removed SA presidential candidate Kyle Boyer from this week's runoff elections.

The decision was 2-1, with Chief Judge Christopher Wimbush and Judge Derek Jamison siding with the JEC and Judge Brand Kroeger siding with Boyer.

Boyer was removed from the ballot on March 12th due to campaign finance reporting violations.

The runoff election is scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday against Julie Bindleglass and Nick Polk.

Check back soon for a full report.

RECAP: 64th Kalb Report at National Press Club

The last Kalb Report of the 2008-2009 season was taped Monday night at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. It was the 64^th edition in the program’s 15-year history.

Moderator Marvin Kalb, a senior fellow at the Joan Shorenstein Center at Harvard University was joined for an hour and half by four national media executives to examine the dire state of the nation’s newspapers. Jon Klein, president of CNN, Tom Curley, president and CEO of the Associated Press, Vivian Schiller, president and CEO of NPR and Alberto Ibarguen, president and CEO of the Knight Foundation provided insight as to the transformation of news reporting and the reasons behind the slow death of major U.S. newspapers.

One of the more surprising comments of the evening came from NPR’s Vivian Schiller her argued that despite the growth of Internet blogging, Wikipedia and Facebook, there is still “no such thing as bad content.” When asked to explain, Schiller replied that the only poor content in her book is “bad content that pretends to be something else.”

While broadcast journalism has been far more insulated from the panic of late, the four media moguls all agreed that the way we consume news is constantly changing and Americans are just going to have to “let go” of hard copy print.

The program is funded by a grant from the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation and is produced by Michael Freedman, a journalism professor in GW’s School of Media and Public Affairs and director of the GW Global Media Institute.

Spring Breakout!

Is this whole recession-thingy putting a cramp on your Spring Break travel plans?

Many students have found themselves in this predicament, citing excessive brokenness as the main problem. Sophomore Bridget Parker says, "I'm taking a bus to Boston...at least I'll get fed at home and I'll get a scenic tour of the Northeast while on the way". Going home seems to be the most reasonable option, as boring as it may seem. In past years, many students have gone to exotic locations like Dubai, Paris, or Cabo San Lucas.

If you're like Bridget and cannot afford to or just don't feel like planning a crazy elaborate trip try heading back to mom and dad's house for Spring Break -- take advantage of this possible changes to your hometown. Venture out to that new strip mall or visit your high school just for the heck of it. Exploit the comforts and trappings of suburbia while you can, because in a weeks time -- it will be back to life as usual in the nation's capitol.

Bindleglass vs. Polk?

J.E.C. removes Boyer from ballot. Pending possible student court appeal

President's race may come down to #2 and #3 finishers.

Just two votes separated Kyle Boyer from the Student Association Presidency. Now there is a high probability that he may not become President after the Joint Election Committee removed the front runner from the ballot after failing to properly disclose campaign expenses. The J.E.C. then found Boyer in violation of campaign finance rules by spending more than the $1,000 limit for Presidential candidates.

Julie Bindleglass who came in second place with 942 votes (23.1%) was slated to face Boyer in a run off election March 11 and 12. Boyer who garnered 1630 votes (39.9%) was confident he would win the run off, going so far as to claim a mandate from students.

If the decision stands Bindleglass will face Sophomore Nick Polk in a run off election set for March 25-26. Polk who garnered 16.7% of the vote tells WRGW he is, "Saddened by the circumstances but I look forward to continuing to share my ideas with the student body."

A special meeting of the student association on March 10 saw the postponement of the election. A student unaffiliated with either campaign had filed allegations of campaign violations with the J.E.C. and enough probable cause was found for the S.A. to delay the election. Had Boyer been removed from the ballot within 24 hours before election postponement Bindleglass would have ascended to the Presidency by default despite coming in a distant second in the initial election.

The winner of the March 25 - 26 election will join Executive Vice President Jason Lifton who won a decisive victory with 2251 or 58% of the vote. Students may vote online at http://www.gwelection.com

Planet Forward Launches

This Monday was the launch of Planet Forward, a website where users can submit their views on energy and the environment – in the form of a video, photo essay, poem, song, or any other medium – and potentially win a chance to sit with a panel of energy experts on a PBS special set to air this Spring.

GW Professor and CNN Special Correspondent Frank Sesno, who has spearheaded Planetforward.org along with Public Agenda, a nonprofit research and civic engagement organization, has high hopes for Planetforward.org. “It’s a place where citizens and experts, decision-makers and students can come together to share their ideas and have a discussion about our future,” he says.

“This is a perfect time for this because there is a new President and the input may help shape the debate, and maybe even policy. What better time to take stock and hear from the public voice on the energy future,” he said about the timing of Planet Forward, the televised portion of which will air on April 15th, one week before Earth Day.

Sesno also said that the idea of Planet Forward, in which user-submitted videos shape the debate, which continues on a national prime-time special before going back to the website, is unique. “I know of no other websites that bring people and partners together like this, connect them with decision-makers in the White House and civic life, and drive toward a prime-time television special,” he said.

Of his goals for Planet Forward, Sesno said that he hopes to see the website “catch on, spur informed debate, and define a new model for public affairs television. We're hoping to raise enough money to take the program to series this coming fall so we can air our next Planet Forward special in the late fall or early winter.”

Anyone interested in participating in Planet Forward can go to planetforward.org to find information on how to enter.

The election, slated to run from March 11 - 12 will now be held from March 25 - 26.

News In Depth 3/8/09 Recap

Counting down the final days until the SA presidential runoff election…

That was the topic this past Sunday on WRGW’s News In Depth with Jared Pliner and Jesse Regis.

In the second half hour, Pliner and Regis were joined in studio by a powerhouse political roundtable: SA Senators Logan Dobson (CCAS-U) and Dylan F. Pyne (CCAS-U). The recently elected student advocates broke down the mechanics of a runoff election, addressed the probability that Kyle Boyer will be disqualified from the presidential ballot, and predicted which candidates would prevail in a number of hypothetical scenarios.

In breaking SA developments, Sen. Logan Dobson filed legislation today that would postpone the runoff until after students return from spring break.

The Student Court last night declined to hear a motion for postponement put forth by Jordan Chapman, SA vice president for judicial and legislative affairs.

Online voting is currently scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday.

Senator-Elect Resigns

Melissa Gindon, a senator-elect for the Columbian College, has resigned from her position, according to a JEC press release.

Gindon told the JEC that her reasons for leaving her seat were purely academic and that she wanted to make her decision known prior to the official certification of results that will take place at tonight's JEC meeting.

First LGBT Landmark in DC

Dr. Frank Kameny left a lasting impression on the struggle for gay rights from the 1950s through the 1970s. Now, his home has been declared the first LGBT landmark in DC.

Dr. Kameny became a figure for gay rights when he was fired by Army Map Services in the 1950s for being gay. He cofounded the Mattachine Society of Washington in 1961 and later founded the Gay and Lesbian Activists Alliance. Throughout his lifetime as an activist he fought to overturn several sodomy laws and helped to eliminate homosexuality as a mental illness from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Kameny was also the first openly gay man to run for Congress in 1971.

Kameny's home is one of very few landmarks commemorating the LGBT movement in the country. Such events that occurred at this house were meetings to plan conferences and picket lines at government offices. It is also believed that the slogan “Gay is Good” was created here.

It is rumored that Kameny’s home will be nominated to the National Register of Historic Places for listing later this year. If selected, this would only be the second LGBT landmark in the country.

You can visit the landmark at 5020 Cathedral Ave. NW.

Crime Log

In Thurston Hall, UPD officers filed a report of destruction after a fire extinguisher was used. The fire extinguisher activated the smoke detector, setting off the fire alarm at 2:09 AM last Tuesday, February 24^th. The individual who used the fire extinguisher has been identified, and the case has been closed and referred to SJS.

Fraudulent use of GWorlds has been prevalent recently, as evidenced by the cases two students whom have been victims of unauthorized charges to their accounts. A female student discovered that her GWorld number had been used to make purchases at online food vendors, while a male student lost his GWorld and then discovered it had been used at a restaurant off campus. Both cases are currently under investigation.

A female student filed a complaint of harassment in City Hall. The student’s roommate purportedly had guests over to the room, and the group began to call her names. The complainant notified hall staff and UPD, but upon arriving at the room, officers found that the roommate and her guests had left. The case has been closed and referred to SJS.

An escort van driver sitting in front of the Mitchell Hall 7 Eleven contacted UPD to report a student he observed lying on the sidewalk in front of Mitchell. UPD officers arrived and found that the student was so intoxicated that he could not stand. Unable to perform sobriety tests, they contacted DC Fire and EMS, who transported the student to the GW ER for further medical treatment.

Registrar Posts Schedule of Classes for Fall 2009

Despite the fact that midterms are not yet over for all GW students, it is already time to start thinking about courses for next fall: this week, the GW registrar announced that it had uploaded the schedule of classes for next semester, which can be viewed at the registrar’s website at my.gwu.edu/mod/pws/.

With the announcement about the schedule came news that English 081, a course on creative writing, would no longer fulfill a Writing in the Disciplines requirement, one of the many General Course Requirements at GW. Two WID courses must be taken in order to satisfy that particular GCR; a list of GCR’s and the classes that fulfill them can be located at the GW First Class website, which can be accessed through blackboard.

Registration for the fall semester is set to begin March 30, starting with graduate students, and continuing from March 31 through April 7 with all degree-seeking undergraduate students; registration order is determined by a seniority system based on accumulated credits, and this information can also be found at the registrar’s website. Registration opens on these days at 7am and remains open until 8pm.

After April 7, general registration will open up, during which all degree-seeking students can change their schedules if need be. General registration lasts until August 30, after which students who have yet to register for classes can do so late for an $80 charge.

News In Depth 3/1/09 Recap

DC voting rights and a look back on the 2009 SA elections...

Those were the topics this past Sunday on WRGW’s News In Depth with Jared Pliner and Jesse Regis.

In the first segment, Pliner and Regis spoke with Jaline Quinto, communications director for DC Vote, on the pending legislation in Congress that would give the DC residents a voting representative in the House. The bipartisan measure passed the Senate and is now on its way back to the House for a final vote.

 Quinto emphasized that for many years Washingtonians have had no say when it comes to federal taxes, education, business and the like.

 She also encouraged local college students to get involved in the push for representation – they too comprise the 600,000 DC residents without a voice in the Congress. For now, at least, it looks like “taxation without representation” might soon be a thing of the past.

 In the second half-hour, Jared and Jesse recapped the election results from last Thursday evening. There will be two runoff elections: the first, between presidential candidates Kyle Boyer and Julie Bindelglass and the second, between Erik Ashida and Anthony Marenna for the sixth and final Columbian College undergraduate senatorial seat. The voting is scheduled for May 11^th and May 12^th.

Legomania?

Kids and parents alike flocked to Tyson's Corner Mall for the LEGO Master Builder Event. Through the weekend task was to construct an 8-foot tall Yoda. Yoda is of course, the wise and powerful Jedi Master in the Star Wars Universe. Last year the event produced a life-sized R2-D2

You probably missed out on this awesome, FREE event since it was at the non-Metro accessible Tyson's Corner Mall. This is a great location for masses of families who live by the order of the Beltway. If the LEGO company had any wits about them, they would have had the event at somewhere more Metro friendly. They could have tapped into the throngs of hipsters and students alike who long for the chance to relive such relics from childhood. This could have been an event that fostered a sense of genuine, child-like enthusiasm for apathetic hipsters and scenesters who have been forced to the very margins of society. They have become trapped in an endless cycle of feigning nonchalance while drinking scummy beers in trendy dive bars. This event could offered a way out of this cycle - serving as the (ironic strobe) light at the end of the tunnel.

Also, I'm not a student of GWU's Business school, but appealing to the broadest possible base seems to make sense in these recession days. But they did not.

Boo on you LEGO Company. Boo.

There is an upcoming LEGO Model Tour where you have the opportunity to see a life sized Indiana Jones March 2nd-27th, at their Woodbridge, VA store.

Check out http://dcist.com/2009/03/legomania_1.php?gallery0Pic=8#gallery for photos from the event.
