Stories from the November 8, 1999 issue of the GW Hatchet.

GW students and activists from across the United States will demonstrate outside the School of Americas (SOA) in Ft. Benning, Ga. Nov. 21. The demonstration will mark the 20th anniversary of the execution in November 1979 of six Jesuit priests, their housekeeper and her daughter in El Salvador, who were murdered by graduates from the […]
Senior guard Elisa Aguilar is the consummate basketball player. There isn’t anything she can’t do on the court. Her natural talent, combined with a sheer determination to improve on every aspect of her game, makes her a tremendous force. I want to do everything I can to help this team, Aguilar said. Anyone can look […]

Student Association President Phil Meisner’s recent actions are wholly reprehensible and constitute grounds for his removal from office. At the risk of even slightly legitimizing Meisner’s newest ploy – his attempt to dissolve the SA and create a new student government – the president’s actions must be thoroughly condemned. At first, the offenses with which […]
In the final minutes of practice, a freshman point guard comes up lame. He’s clutching his right knee, tensing his face and contorting his body. He’s obviously in pain. He wobbles to the sideline, and you might think he was done. But suddenly something happens. He straightens up and refuses to stay out. SirValiant Brown […]
1. Maryland. Last season: 28-6 (13-3 ACC, 2nd), lost to St. John’s in Sweet 16. With Steve Francis gone, Coach Gary Williams plugs in superstar Terence Morris and freshman guard Steve Blake. Maryland comes in at 23rd in the coaches’ poll. 2. Georgetown. Last season: 15-16 (6-12 Big East, 10th), NIT first round The Hoyas […]
The old guard is long gone – those names that kept GW on the basketball map in the mid-1990s. People like Mike Jarvis, Alexander Koul and now finally Shawnta Rogers and Yegor Mescheriakov. In their place have arrived the players that will lead the buff and blue into the next century, men like Bernard Barrow, […]
