Stories from the March 25, 1999 issue of the GW Hatchet.
Because the world is anxiously awaiting the possible escalation of the ongoing Kosovo conflict, most of U.S. foreign policy and media attention is devoted to that part of the world. Unfortunately, as a result, another equally crucial region is left devoid of any international or U.S. attention, even as the events taking shape there threaten […]
Sholl’s Colonial Cafeteria has been a Washington landmark for more than 70 years. Its clientele has included everyone from members of Congress to members of the underclass. It serves up pie and chicken and a lot more – area residents are as loyal to the local cafeteria as Seinfeld and his friends were to Monk’s. […]

There’s a saying at Sholl’s Colonial Cafeteria: “It’s where the senators come to slum and the homeless come to splurge.” One visit to the 71-year-old D.C. landmark proves that sentiment rings true. The customers are a diverse lot: senior citizens and college students, members of the House of Representatives and homeless people, former presidents and […]
Just hearing the announcer call Albert Roma a “gangly guy” made the disaster against Indiana University a little easier to take. Knowing Shawnta Rogers was getting the national publicity he so rightfully deserved also made it slightly better. And if you lasted until the end of the game, seeing Bobby Knight put his hands on […]
Jessica Smithers says no matter how often she talks about the night she was raped in October 1995, it spurs strong emotions. “I have had to discuss it on so many instances, and it still hasn’t gotten easier,” she said.
