Stories from the February 7, 2000 issue of the GW Hatchet.
GW’s Model United Nations Coordinator Tom Mullaney wrote a brief column for a McGill University publication before arriving at the Montreal University for a Model United Nations conference Jan. 27. In this column, he wrote about Model United Nations’ uniqueness as an intercollegiate activity. (It’s) not like a track meet or a football game. It’s […]
As the members of the GW men’s basketball team walked onto the court in the second half of Saturday’s game against Xavier, about 5,000 screaming fans were behind them. And as they came back to win after a 15-point deficit at halftime, GW Coach Tom Penders knew whom to thank. Walking toward the scorer’s table […]
The GW Faculty Senate passed a resolution Friday that allows for further development of a proposed program – the College of Professional Studies.

Sigma Chi lost its charter this week from its national office, in the latest of a series of violations against fraternities on GW’s campus. As The Hatchet reported two weeks ago, fraternities are taking a larger […]
Last week The Hatchet reported that the Community Living and Learning Center, or CLLC, plans to remove housekeeping from upperclassman residence halls next year. CLLC’s move sparked much debate and demonstrates that while you can’t get more than three of our students to turn out to vote in SA elections, you can get them up […]
