Stories from the November 15, 1999 issue of the GW Hatchet.
Another wave of girl power is starting to hit mainstream America, but instead of platforms and hot pants, these women push the envelope with activist lyrics and counter-culture beauty standards. Throughout the last quarter of this century, women musicians have been banging on their drums, strumming their guitars and singing louder and louder to make […]
Well, what a week. GW kicked off the basketball season with a light show on the scoreboard, we lost a losing coach and Sports Illustrated dragged our man Tommy P. through the mud again. But first things first. Let’s talk basketball. Has GW ever seen so much offense? The men and women’s teams scored a […]
I am deeply saddened by the actions of the Student Association Senate Wednesday morning. When I decided to run for Student Association president last year, I was determined to bring about change in an organization that was the ridicule of the student body. The students voted for me because they had faith in my leadership. […]
In the beginning, there were Julie and Eric, a docile Alabama dancer and a buff New Jersey thug aspiring to be a model. The television gods at Bunim-Murray Productions plucked them from obscurity, set them up in a spacious (but austere by later seasons’ standards) New York loft and proclaimed that their sappy country-mouse and […]
The GW women’s volleyball team split its final two home matches of the season as GW defeated Dayton and lost to Xavier at the Smith Center.

The GW women’s basketball team dominated the team from Vologda Russia 95-62 Sunday at the Smith Center, as five GW players scored in double-digits. Senior Elisa Aguilar led all scorers with 16 points and juniors Petra Dubovcova and Kristeena Alexander added 14 apiece. Despite the turnover-plagued game, head coach Joe McKeown said it’s important to […]
The news in The Hatchet is bad. Ed Meinert was only pretending to be Ed Meinert, of all people. Phil Meisner was only pretending to be SA president, of all things. Their stories ran in close proximity so that now everyone thinks President Phil Meinert got impeached for credit-card fraud. Sex in the Marvin Center […]
Delivering a bone-crushing check in a National Hockey League game. Shooting down space cruisers on a run through an asteroid belt. Killing devils in the bowels of the Earth. All of these things become possible for the average person in the wonderful world of video game systems such as a Sony Play Station and numerous […]
