Stories from the October 29, 1998 issue of the GW Hatchet.
Mr. Amrany’s comments in the Oct. 22 issue of The GW Hatchet on the School of Engineering and Applied Science’s problems raise a number of important questions related to teaching – how it’s done, how it’s perceived and how it’s evaluated (“SEAS’s problems go beyond money,” p. 4).

I would like to point out a few discrepancies in the Oct. 19 front-page article, “Creatine fad muscles its way onto campus.” The side effects from creatine use are not a reason for considering the supplement “bad” or a hazard to athletes. If someone eats a certain kind of food that does not agree with […]
The GW water polo team’s weeklong West Coast trip got off to a rocky start when head coach Van Hoffman discovered his team had not been scheduled to play in its first event, the Claremont-McKenna Tournament. But after the auspicious start, the Colonials (17-8) rolled over their competition, winning seven of eight matches. “I was […]
No shirt, no shoes – that’s fine, but how about a dress? Welcome to the counterculture known as ultimate frisbee. With music in the background and people wearing anything from women’s clothing to traditional athletic gear, this game relies as much on its social traditions – or lack thereof – as on the sport itself. […]

Some students said they were upset they were shut out of next month’s lecture by the Dalai Lama, the exiled spiritual leader of Tibet, after they waited in line for tickets Monday. The Dalai Lama will speak as part of GW’s “Democratic Invention” lecture series at Lisner Auditorium Nov. 10. The event is co-sponsored by […]
Sorry, Padre fans and Yankee-haters. If you were trying desperately to put the World Series results behind you, you’re out of luck. Baseball and its amazing champions certainly deserve one last hurrah, especially if there’s no NBA and no Chicago Bulls preparing to take away the spotlight. Most people knew in their hearts what the […]
A resolution to itemize and separate the Student Association and Program Board fee from the University fee on students’ tuition bills was passed by the SA Senate Tuesday. The resolution, which passed 19-2, urges the University to itemize the fee to clarify which portion of the University fee is controlled by student-run organizations. SA Executive […]
It’s Halloween – the time of year when ghosts wake from their slumber, witches encircle bubbling cauldrons to cast spells, and people adorn black and orange (two of the most uncomplementary hues). If spirits, hexes or ugly colors don’t satiate your desire for Halloween celebration, D.C. offers a bunch of festive things to do. The […]
