Stories from the September 2, 1999 issue of the GW Hatchet.
Students are plugging in, turning on, and booting up across GW and the nation. E-mail, Internet, and even compact disc burners have become a common sight in many residence hall rooms. But not all students have caught up with the digital revolution. Luckily for GW students, a variety of departments, many of which are undergoing […]
Lora Machel’s article from the Arizona Daily Wildcat reprinted in Monday’s Hatchet (“Cold truth about guns, society,” p. 5) is typical of the left wing’s anti-gun rhetoric. Machel clearly does not understand the purpose of our Constitutional right to keep and bear arms, nor is her analysis of the correlation between guns and violence sound. […]
GW’s drive to become a more “connected” university will include online registration for the spring semester, a welcome change if accomplished with maximum efficiency and minimal difficulties. The new GWeb system will be operational by Sept. 13, allowing students to register for classes and view personal information. Eventually, GWeb will include financial aid information and […]
I must admit that I really, really want a college football team. I want one so badly, that I’d actually promise to rise and shine for my 9:30 a.m. class. I’d make my bed, call my family more, and I’d even get my books for that one class that just bores me to death. But […]
The College Board recently released some encouraging statistics concerning the number of minorities taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test. A higher percentage of students who took the SAT last year were minorities, although minority performance on the test remains well-below national averages.

Slapstick is probably the easiest to categorize, originated […]
It’s a well-known fact that I, a GW student, pay a lot of money to attend this University. In an ignorant bliss, I would like to believe that my money is going toward things that will benefit me and my fellow students. I would like to think that my money is part of what pays […]
David Holt is to be commended for a wonderfully written article on the glorious – and inglorious – days of the GW Football Program. As (probably) one of the few Washington, D.C., natives teaching here, I was born within the sound of the crack of a bat from the old Griffith Stadium and remember attending […]
Student Association President Phil Meisner talking about the prospect of fireworks during Welcome Week. “Fireworks have never been done here before and this would be so unique. It’s such an opportunity. Don’t you think it would have been tremendous?”
The GW women’s soccer team was shut out for the second time in the young season Tuesday, falling 2-0 at Georgetown. At Georgetown’s Harbin Field, the Hoya women took over a scoreless game in the second half with two goals by junior midfielder Liz Delgado. GW (0-2) played well in the first half, showing many […]
