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. The piece scolded the administration for being inconsiderate by scheduling the Commission on Presidential Debates Symposium during midterms, and implied that students did not show up because they […]

After promising finishes for both the men and the women at the IC4A-ECAC Championships two weeks ago, the GW men’s and women’s cross country teams figured to make noise at the Atlantic 10 Championships in Centreville, Va. 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. […]

D.C. was host to hundreds of women filmmakers last week as the Women in Film and Video International Festival ’97 swept through area theaters. The nine-day festival included more than a dozen screenings of feature films, short films and documentaries – all written, produced, and/or directed by women. Featured works ranged from Escape, a gritty […]

Is Jen Trynin just another angry, independent female songwriter? At first it may seem like Alanis Morrisette has actually come out with a new album, but Morrisette’s lyrics were never as introspective and poetic as Trynin’s. Trynin has just released her second album, Gun Shy Trigger Happy (Warner Bros). With lyrics about lost love and […]
