Stories from the October 29, 1998 issue of the GW Hatchet.
The assassination-style killing of Dr. Barnett Slepian in his upstate New York home last Friday has sent shock waves through the nation’s abortion clinics and sparked fear among doctors who choose to perform the procedure. Abortion is a highly emotional subject that can draw out some of the worst traits in people on both sides […]
A diverse batch of new student groups has popped up on campus this semester, joining more than 200 organizations that represent a broad spectrum of interests. The Student Activities Center does not keep records that distinguish new student groups from ones that have registered in the past, but a comparison of last year’s student group […]
If a person were to go around impersonating a doctor, offering medical advice and performing medical procedures, that person would go to jail for fraud. Likewise for a person who goes to court, and with no legal training, tries to pass himself or herself off as an attorney. The basic concept behind these sorts of […]
The Sigma Kappa sorority will focus its fund-raising efforts this year on helping one of their sisters in her fight against cancer, said Ellen Blankenstein, vice president of alumnae relations for the GW chapter. Michelle Crosby, an alumna of Sigma Kappa sorority and a member of GW’s Sigma Kappa advisory board, underwent a bone marrow […]
The crack of the starting gun. Warriors battling for position. Furious nonstop digging and dashing on all surfaces and all fronts. Flushed faces, drained bodies, lifeless legs at the finish line. For GW’s cross country runners, the excitement of competing ends with this scene. They have no professional league, no highlights on ESPN, no national […]

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.
