In his letter to The Hatchet last week, second-year law student Michael Zolandz claims to be kidding us not when he misquotes what President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg said in an interview with Bob Levey of The Washington Post. I quote directly from the interview, available for fact checking at www.washingtonpost.com: “Levey Live.” A recent GW […]

GW broke ground in a ceremony Wednesday at the site of the soon-to-be-built GW Hospital, much to the dismay of some Foggy Bottom residents who protested the groundbreaking. The new $96 million facility, funded by the partnership between Universal Health Services, Inc., and GW, will be the District’s first new hospital in 20 years. The […]

This past weekend the GW College Republicans attended a function that could serve to alienate themselves from the rest of the GW community. They showed their support for Republican candidates by attending a convention for one of the most extreme and bigoted organizations in America.

When GW President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg called protests against the new, state-of-the-art GW Hospital a “non-issue” at the groundbreaking ceremony yesterday, he was right. Foggy Bottom residents need to accept the fact that a new GW Hospital will be built. Instead of demanding unrealistic concessions, Foggy Bottom residents should be pragmatic about their appeals to […]

Put six strangers together for a seven-week trip and what happens? No, it’s not the latest show on MTV, it’s a new interactive show presented on the Internet called “Rockcity Limits.” And the cast members of the cyber-adventure visited GW Wednesday. Hollywood producer Hunt Lowry and his partner John Kennedy are establishing a new and […]

Residents of Q Street SW – a predominantly African-American neighborhood – have filed suit against Domino’s Pizza for refusing to deliver pizza to their doors. Instead, residents must come outside to pay for their pizza. Given the relatively low crime rate of the area, the residents of Q Street SW have a right to seek […]

The Hatchet’s editorial “Dung Happens” (Oct. 4, p. 4) completely missed the boat on what the First Amendment stands for.
