Stories from the August 30, 1999 issue of the GW Hatchet.
The Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity successfully accomplished something this weekend that few Greek-letter organizations have ever achieved, or even attempted. The traditionally black fraternity had a great time at its event: a non-alcoholic party. And if that is not amazing enough, hundreds attended the event and the fraternity raised money for charity at the same […]
Stereophonics is trying to make it big with its second album, Performance and Cocktails (V2). Sadly, though, this album doesn’t quite match up with those of its British predecessors. Stereophonics often is compared to the Manic Street Preachers. Both bands are Welsh, and both are hard rock. But comparing the two is like comparing Limp […]
As another semester commences, I noticed that not too much has changed. Students still pay $5.19 for a box of Lucky Charms. The freshmen still wait at the crosswalk for the “walk” sign, but most importantly, we are still leaderless. During my first two years, I sat idly by as the University took away the […]
Student Association members are scrambling for a solution after a disagreement about a fireworks display exploded into a controversy between student leaders and the administration a week before classes. SA President Phil Meisner and Cat Sadler, co-chair of the Joint Committee of Faculty and Students, said they thought they had a “bright idea” to have […]
Recruit Jamal Brown, a 6-6 forward from Baltimore, is headed to Seward (Kansas) Junior College, and he will likely go on to the University of New Mexico once he is eligible, www.prepstars.com reported last week. Head coach Tom Penders said he only knows that Brown will attend a junior college, and he doesn’t know what […]
Virtually every celebrity in the D.C. area attended Saturday’s Fall Fest on the GW Quad – the magic of virtual reality brought them there.

Signs that read “Lunch Meal Period 11:30 – 2:30” were missing as classes began last week, and the frantic freshman rush to make it to Thurston Dining Hall for breakfast time is a thing of the past. Students arriving on campus found a much different J Street than they left in the fall. Besides new […]
The last college football season of the 1900s kicked off Saturday when Penn State University romped over the University of Arizona, 41-7. And I don’t know about you, but it brought me back to a blustery fall day in 1928 when the Nittany Lions routed GW’s Hatchetites 50-0. Ah, what a mighty smiting that was. […]
Did You Know? Alcohol is the single biggest factor behind the leading cause of death among teenagers – traffic accidents. Teenagers who start drinking before age 15 are four times as likely to become alcohol dependent as those who begin drinking at age 21, the legal drinking age. More than two-fifths of college students indulge […]
