Stories from the January 24, 2000 issue of the GW Hatchet.
On the bus ride home from GW’s hard-earned victory at Virginia Tech two weeks ago, I found it a bit strange that head coach Joe McKeown told the driver to pull over in the middle of the highway somewhere in the local Virginia suburbs so he could get out. I’m guessing that McKeown and his […]
Perhaps one day the GW men’s basketball team will play a game with its full complement of guards. But despite the long-awaited return of junior guard Mike King, the Colonials went back to square one Wednesday night when freshman guard Chris Monroe was ejected five minutes in, and the remaining shooting guards – King and […]
The GW women’s basketball team saw its 12-game winning streak come to an end Saturday as it lost 68-55 to Xavier. The loss gave the 24th-ranked Colonials (14-3, 5-1 A-10) a split in Ohio after the Colonials dominated an out-matched Dayton team 82-66 two days prior. In both games over the weekend, GW put both […]
The words Hello, my name is Andy, and this is my soundtrack graces the cover of the Man on the Moon soundtrack (Warner Bros.) as well as a picture of Jim Carrey as Andy Kaufman. The design and idea of the cover are simple, and the music is nothing you would expect. The soundtrack houses […]

But with GW’s full cadre of guards playing a complete game for the first time since Dec. 8, 1999, all signs were positive that the […]
A common debate has existed in Hollywood during the last decade – when a film is based on a true story, how much fact does the film actually contain?

Sophomore guard Dorien Brown has talked to Coach Tom Penders about possibly transferring, Penders confirmed Sunday. Yeah, he has (talked to me about transferring), Penders said. He wants to play more, and he feels it’s tough for him with Chris (Monroe) and Mike (King). Brown has struggled all year with a fracture on his right […]
Freshman Pam McLemore leaned against the counter in J Street, clasping a plate full of vegetables and pasta salad with one hand while waving her other hand wildly in the air to emphasize her words. I’ve always been told by people that I’m somehow disrupting the food chain because I’m not too fond of eating […]

January 21, 2000 Marvin Center10 p.m. The Marvin Center underwent one of its grand transformations Friday night. Casino-style gaming tables were rolled in piece by piece, an inflatable twister board was installed, and GW students began wandering in – eyes wide – as if they had just stumbled through the looking glass and into Las […]
