Volume 95, Issue 30
Stories from the November 9, 1998 issue of the GW Hatchet.
Perhaps the saying “steady wins the race” is not without truth. In an age when stars abandon the college game for the NBA, the Atlantic 10 has retained 24 of the 35 starters that played in the NCAA and National Invitational tournaments last season. With five teams making NCAA appearances in 1997, this year should […]
Events held according to form Saturday at the Smith Center pool, as the GW men’s swimming and diving team beat Virginia Tech 139-102, and the GW women fell to the Hokies 138-104. The men beat a Tech team that finished fifth in the A-10 last season, while GW finished second. GW won all but two […]
I was brainstorming with friends, trying to figure out what I could write this column about and several things came to mind. I thought about writing something on registration and how if I ever met that lady whose voice is on the registration recording, I would be scared of her. I also thought about discussing […]
The Atlantic 10 may be at the strongest point in its history in women’s basketball. A record five teams from the conference made the postseason last year, including three teams that made it to the NCAA Tournament. In the past, GW has been the backbone of the league, but this season, a strong supporting cast […]
The GW women’s volleyball team missed out on a chance to sweep a pair of crucial road matches this weekend, beating Massachusetts but falling just short against Rhode Island. With the season winding down, the Colonial women (16-9, 10-6 Atlantic 10) find themselves in the running for the final spot in the four-team A-10 Championships […]
I was relieved a few weeks ago upon reading the news that an ancient law in England had saved Gen. Augusto Pinochet from the hypocrisy of others. Not to say I condone everything that occurred in his 15-year rule over Chile, but arresting Pinochet and putting him on trial is hypocritical at best, and setting […]

The GW women’s soccer team picked a bad time to have its offense go cold. The Colonial women were shut out by Xavier 2-0 Friday night at Baujuan Field in Dayton, Ohio, in the second semifinal of the Atlantic 10 Tournament to end GW’s season. Xavier went on to win the A-10 title with a […]
The primary purpose of a university is to teach students. At GW, the boom in construction projects on campus has affected professors’ ability to teach and students’ ability to learn. Case in point: the construction on the sixth floor of Gelman Library. While demolition and construction was being done, classes were being held in nearby […]
In this season of historical football trophies, Old Oaken Buckets and Old Tin Pails, something seems to be badly missing here at GW. Tradition, rivalry – all that good college stuff. Sorry, an expensive brass hippo doesn’t cut it. I’m talking Army-Navy, Duke-North Carolina, Stanford-California – real tradition. Lehigh University has played Lafayette University in […]
