Every class Professor David Cox walked into our classroom on the sixth floor of Gelman Library in jeans, a solid-color pocket T-shirt, a worn-in denim jacket and either a can of Diet Coke or Diet Dr. Pepper. He usually sat on the edge of the table in the front of the class and greeted each […]

A carnival arose Saturday, as if by magic, in the old doctors’ parking lot of the GW Hospital, a skip away from the Foggy Bottom Metro station. It arrived complete with the delicacies of a fading summer: the smoky scent of a sizzling barbecue, the elated squeals of children running free and, of course, sublime […]

The change affects graduate students and undergraduates, which some students said is unfair. Student Bar Association President Nathan Hale Williams said virtually 100 percent of the people in GW […]

College students and other people who depend on public transportation would gain a new travel option with a D.C. Metro Board measure under consideration that would keep the Metro open until 1 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays. The author of the bill, Metro Board member Jim Graham, is speaking for those who too often have no […]

Upon reading The GW Hatchet staff editorial entitled “Bad Plan,” published Sept. 16, I found myself at first infuriated, then just amused.
