Now that midterms are finished, I think it’s time all faculty, administrators and students take a load off, have a beer (if you’re over 21, otherwise a non-alcoholic beverage will do fine) and listen to what I have to say. It might just save our University from certain disaster. We’ve all gone through midterms together. […]

Piece meal plan A GW meal plan doesn’t exist, more like a GW snack plan. Where I come from, two pieces of rice and one piece of cartilage doesn’t constitute a meal. No wonder so many people at this school smoke, anyone with a body fat count over 2 percent will starve to death on […]

Last May, at the Commencement ceremony, GW President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg asked the crowd, “Is this a wonderful place to hold Commencement or what?” The crowd responded with a great roar of approval. Trachtenberg basked in the glow of the audience’s adulation. It was a moment straight out of Evita – even though the lives […]

Last year, student attendance at GW women’s basketball games was sorely lacking. In the beginning of the season, fans were very few and far between. It was only toward the end of the women’s Cinderella season that the Smith Center magically filled up. How about we students do a better job of showing our support […]

The Oct. 23 GW Hatchet editorial “Debate fizzle” (p.4) is an example of the harm journalists can do when they express opinions without getting all the facts.

Saturday. Neither team did as well as expected, though, as the women finished fifth and the men finished […]

Teams with no seniors and a lot of newcomers usually look nervous and disorganized during first games. The GW women’s basketball team looked like that kind of team in the first half of its exhibition game against Denamo-Moscow Sunday, but settled down in the second half to come away with a 79-60 victory at the […]

The Smith Center was home sweet home for the GW women’s volleyball team last week. The Colonial women returned home from their six-game road trip to post wins over LaSalle and George Mason universities and pushed league-leading Temple to a match point. Temple 3, GW 2 With game faces on, GW fought against Temple Saturday […]

The GW women’s soccer team won twice this weekend at South Riding Field, finishing up its regular season schedule with a record of 12-5-2, 9-2 in the Atlantic 10 Conference. With the two victories, the Colonial women earned the second seed in the A-10 Tournament next weekend, where they will face Xavier, the third seed. […]
