Stories from the November 9, 1998 issue of the GW Hatchet.
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.

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 […]
The GW women’s basketball team faced a powerful Russia Select squad in an exhibition game and fell 70-57 Sunday night at the Smith Center. GW led 43-40 at the 16-minute mark, until Russia Select’s Tatiana Rebtsovkaya buried a three-point shot and the Colonial women failed to regain the lead. Guard Starr Jefferson rebounded and scored […]

His resignation comes during a fierce internal dispute among Republicans who are looking for a scapegoat for the election debacle. Whether […]
