The article "Rice expected to sign" (April 8, p. 17) stated that Maureece Rice has had "character issues." The Hatchet has no knowledge of any such issues with Rice's character. The instances cited were unconfirmed reports from other news outlets and did not demonstrate any issues with Rice's character. The Hatchet regrets the use of the term "character issues."

Events taking place on campus during the week of 4/12-4/17 2004 focusing on sports
Richmond prevented the GW men's tennis team from capturing its first Atlantic 10 crown in 25 years, defeating the Colonials 4-1 in the final of the A-10 tournament Saturday in Monroeville, Pa. "We're happy that we got to the finals, but it was very disappointing to lose there," said senior co-captain Matt Hane.
An anomaly. That is what GW Director of Athletics Jack Kvancz called recent allegations of mental and physical abuse against softball coach Shaunte' Fremin.
On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson became the first African American to play Major League Baseball, and to commemorate Robinson's life and legacy, the GW Jackie Robinson Society and the Multicultural Student Services Center are hosting the third annual Jackie Robinson week.

For years, Muslims on campus have been served by inadequate facilities. Currently, Muslim students split their time between their small office in the Marvin Center and prayer services at Western Presbyterian Church. Given that both Catholics and Jews enjoy the increased opportunities a religious center provides, Muslim students should be commended for taking proactive steps to improve their own situation on campus.
Once again, protesters from Act Now to Stop War and End Racism inundated the District for an "emergency protest." As expected, protesters espoused mindless platitudes sympathizing with the people who burnt four American citizens alive in Iraq and Palestinian suicide bombers.
My brief honeymoon with John Kerry is officially over. After a late charge in the primary season - based largely on the perception that he could beat President George W. Bush - Kerry has seemingly returned to the longwinded, visionless politician he resembled until his surge in Iowa.
There is a bit more to the story than was reported in Thursday's Hatchet regarding the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship's decision to bring a representative from Jews for Jesus to campus ("Groups host Jews for Jesus," April 8, p. 6).
For one night every year gay men and their fag hags rule the earth. It is a fabulous time void of hetero men. It is a time of glitter and glam. Drag queens roam the streets freely and glow sticks are in high demand. Whips, harnesses and Leather Daddies are highly visible. This is our night. And this is the night that George W. Bush and his Federal Communications Commission have taken away from us.
Last month, The Hatchet ran an op-ed I submitted regarding the coverage the Student Association gets in the paper. In Thursday's issue there was a perfect example of how The Hatchet makes the SA look bad by not getting all sides of a story. Although Sen. Ben Traverse was quoted explaining what happened accurately, the bias of the article ("SA Notes," April 8, p. 2) was definitely unfavorable to the Senate.
Grant LaGraff left his Southeast townhouse on Capitol Hill a few years ago to move downtown to Northwest D.C. But the atmosphere of the community that sits on the plateau behind the Capitol is far different from the part of the city with which most GW students identify.
If by "awkward" you mean you see the hot Campus Snacks delivery guy who you took advantage of the night before, then don't worry about it. But if "awkward" means the guy you hooked up with only looks good after a few cups of jungle juice, then deny that anything ever happened and avoid him. Save his number in your phone as "Do Not Answer" so you don't mistakenly pick up.
Q: One of my friends is very clingy. She always assumes that she's included in whatever plans I make. This makes me want to lie about what I'm doing for the weekend or be really vague. I hate doing this, but I also don't like her leeching into my social life.
