Gregory Isaac Cherry was arrested Oct. 13 at about 4:30 p.m. after he entered the restricted area at the store and hid eight books in his bag, according to a Metropoli- tan Police report. Cherry, who is unaffiliated with GW, also visited the bookstore the day before but “dropped the books he had secreted when challenged by staff,” UPD Chief Kevin Hay said. Bookstore staff notified UPD when he re- turned the next day and officers caught Cherry as he was trying to exit through a back door. Cherry was transported to the MPD Sec- ond District station. In January, UPD arrested a bookstore em- ployee and an accomplice for attempting to steal about 75 books worth roughly $5,000.

Organizers planned a shorter ceremony to account for the rain, which started falling about halfway through the ceremony during the presentation of honorary degrees to former University President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg and former Board of Trustees Chairman Charles Manatt. “We’ve been soaking you for 20 years, so what’s a little drizzle now?” said Trachtenberg, as the Mall quickly be- came a sea of multi-colored umbrellas and ponchos. “I’ve been saving that line for a long time,” he added. University spokesperson Tracy Schario said the short speeches from Manatt and Trachtenberg, as well as the brisk pace throughout the program, cut about 20 minutes from the ceremony. Commencement ended at 11:30 a.m., while in previous years it concluded closer to noon. The ceremony began at 9:30 a.m. with the procession of graduates, faculty and administrators, led by a team of bag- pipers and drummers. The GW Symphonic Band also per- formed, at one point playing the theme from “Star Wars.” At the outset of the ceremony, University Marshal Jill Kasle announced that many of the empty seats reserved for graduates were available to the general audience, initiating a rush of parents and family members looking for a better view.
