The members of SSDP, a student organization concerned with promoting the regulation, taxation and control of illegal drugs, attended events at College Convention 2000.

A new initiative approved by the Federal Communications Commission Thursday may allow WRGW, GW’s radio station, to switch over to an FM station.

No matter what one may think of the opinions expressed in either The Hatchet’s Jan. 18 editorial, Stars and Barred (p. 4) or in Brian Schoeneman’s response (Jan. 20, p.4, Flag Misunderstood), this topic has raised an interesting question in my mind: With the myriad and complex problems facing black Americans, why are the National […]

A lot of people out there will tell you that Bill Gates is the anti-Christ, that he’s a maniacal genius bent on world domination and the enslavement of masses though his Web browser. Even the federal government has gone so far as to release Janet Reno to crack his evil empire’s monopoly. But I think […]
