GW men’s basketball coach Ike Jarofurine has turned down head coaching offers from more than 200 Division I schools in order to pursue another job, president of the Hair Club for Men. “I think my smooth, shiny dome is the kind of look the company wants to push,” Jarofurine said while carefully polishing his head […]
Results of the first year of affirmative action being excluded as an admissions consideration to schools in the University of California system are in. At the Berkeley campus, admission offers for next fall’s freshman class to black and Hispanic students have plummeted. Out of 8,000 students offered admission, 191 were black, down from 562 last […]
Everybody always wants to know who is in love with who in Hollywood. Let’s face it, there’s no such thing as love in Hollywood. It’s pure sex. So let’s talk about who is fucking who. At the premier for the re-release of Grease, Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta couldn’t keep their hands off each other. […]

Modeled after the 1960s television show “Lost in Space,” the film travels with the Robinson family across the galaxy. They try to discover another planet to sustain human life since Earth is becoming […]
A statement by Mary Jo Warner, the senior associate director of athletics at GW, was attributed incorrectly in the March 26 edition of The GW Hatchet (“Women’s water polo pushes for varsity status,” p.1).
