GW: Shape, Form, and Content Year after year in Apirl or May, as frisbees take to eerie flight, weekend philosophers launch into new efforts to discover the identity of GW and its students. There are many faces to GW and each has its own claim to reality, but the composite lies somewhere beyond the obvious images that GW conjures up. GW is perhaps not even best described as a sum of its parts. At times it appears almost as a working contradic¬ tion: Tearing down historic and pleasant row houses to use the bricks in a new concrete and glass behemoth, or passing along to students two large tuition increases in the attempt to attract more and a higher caliber student clientel. Yet the University has its kindly side. There was the recent Gymathon for Miriam’s kitchen and the canned food drive. Increasingly there have been efforts to reclaim many of the excesses of students and put them to use for the poor or homeless. In some cases we are clearly less than we should be, while in others we can indulge a bit of pride in the University. So then what is GW? And what does it mean to be a student here? People have tried to describe GW as instrinsically linked to DC. For many in the student body this is true. Those who hold jobs or internships see the best and the worst DC has to offer and many come to love it. There are, however, far too many who barely leave campus; excepting trips to Georgetown for shop¬ ping or Dupont Circle nightspots. Because of this, there must also exist a GW separate from DC. Then what is it that is most memorable or remarkable about GW? For me the one most noteworthy aspect of GW is its constant state of change. Barely a year goes by without some new building going up or another major improve- 20 G.W.U. John Hrastar
