Instead of buying Mount Vernon College, why couldn’t Trachtenberg and our intrepid Board of Trustees (read: a bunch of really important people to our school, but no one really knows why) have bought a cooler school in a cooler place? Like the University of Miami, or UC-San Diego. We’d all be signing up to live […]
A free ride – everybody wants one, but only a few chosen souls are lucky enough to get one. In Pedro Almodovar’s Live Flesh or Carne Tremula, this idea is beautifully captured in the character of Victor Plaza (Liberto Rabal). Rabal, surely destined to become the next Spanish sex-god in America, puts forth a deliciously […]
Lighten up, Part II This is in response to the letter to the editor entitled “Limited originality” in the Feb. 5 edition of The GW Hatchet (p.4). It appeared the writer was trying to put down the cartoonist, Rob, and his cartoon, “GW Fashions,” from the Jan. 29 issue. The writer claimed that upon seeing […]

In the Feb. 9 edition of The GW Hatchet, Tryg Olsen mentions the need for a Student Association presidential candidate who has “realistic goals and doesn’t exaggerate to the students in order to be elected” (Valentine’s Day rules, plus GW’s own multi-faced man,” p.2). Yeah Tryg, that would be nice. Not only would a “real” […]
When a baseball team loses its best pitcher and its best hitter, the immediate future can’t look too bright. The 1998 GW baseball team hopes it will be able to fill the shoes of Matt Williams and Troy Allen, the ace pitcher and leading power hitter from last year’s squad. “Losing them means some of […]
