Stories from the November 19, 1998 issue of the GW Hatchet.
On Nov. 3, millions of Americans went to the polls and exercised one of their most basic rights as citizens – the right to vote. However, while voters in the 50 states were able to have their voices heard, voters in our nation’s capital were not so fortunate. Their voices were silenced days before the […]
Two paths wind on to the stage and swirl into the mythological crossroads that Robert Johnson, the great grandfather of American blues music, sang about in the late 1920s. With his music, he captured the essence of the black experience in the South during the early part of this century. The Arena Stage’s production of […]
I do not agree with some of the comments made by GW alumnus Brendan O’Malley in his Nov. 12 letter to the editor (“Not gonna happen,” p. 4). GW was not “mainly a commuter school up until 15 years ago.” The residence hall system has grown substantially on campus over the past four decades. There […]
A GW graduate student who says he is concerned that Hillel’s administration negatively affects attendance at Hillel programs is circulating a petition to urge a review of the center’s policies.

As impressive as the GW women’s basketball team’s 72-54 victory over Georgetown University was Monday, even more amazing is that GW registered a double-digit victory without four of its top players in the rotation. Center Khadija Deas, forward Noelia Gomez, and guards Kristeena Alexander and Marlo Egleston all missed the first game of the season. […]
It seems like the Metropolitan Police Department views the District of Columbia as a sort of Old West town where guns regularly being drawn and bullets flying everywhere are perfectly natural occurrences. In a five-part series of articles this week, The Washington Post documented the “Dodge City” mentality that pervades some members of the city’s […]

Signing national letters of intent with GW were Lindsey Davidson of Brea, Calif., Cathy Joens of Irvine, Calif., and Erica Lawrence of Nyack, N.Y. Davidson, a 5-9 guard, has received […]
