The College Republicans filled the Dorothy Marvin Betts Theatre with applause during Republican Bob Dole’s speech Monday evening. But an unsubstantiated survey after the speech found there weren’t many more Republicans present than Democrats. The Republicans were just louder. Many GW CRs support Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.). A few like Texas Gov. George W. Bush. […]

Jon Stewart is a lewd, indecent and down-right dirty man. On Sunday night, in front of a nearly sold-out Smith Center crowd, he was also damn funny. Stewart touched on everything from his sexual practices to his dog’s explosive diarrhea in a performance that lasted almost two hours. I think as you get older, you […]

I am responding to the attack on affirmative action taken by Joseph Daniel Ura (Pernicious Preferences, Feb. 3). He is correct in stating that the principles of affirmative action programs, both in industry as well as in academic settings, rest upon the idea that all men are created equal. However, he fails to recognize that […]

My husband and I would like to compliment David Holt on his article on the Xavier game Saturday. We live near Harrisburg, Pa., and have followed the team since our son was a freshman seven years ago.

Since 1977, when the death penalty was reinstated in Illinois, 12 people have been executed, while 13 others have been exonerated. The faults lie among […]

Among scores of books, articles, photographs and memorabilia is a history of a 400-year-old struggle and a foundation for future leaders in Africana Women at the Dawn of the New Millennium: The Exhibit at Gelman Library. The collection of artifacts and literature highlight the importance of contributions made by famous and lesser-known Africana women from […]

GW’s purchase of about a quarter of the Columbia Plaza apartment complex, while a compromise with Foggy Bottom residents, entails extra responsibility on the University’s part to its students. For some Foggy Bottom residents who have voiced opposition to GW’s expansion into the neighborhood, the University’s acquisition of Columbia Plaza strikes a balance between the […]

What is Pakistani culture?, ex-president Reza Cheema rhetorically asked The GW Hatchet readership last issue (Pakistani students’ after-party ends in violence, Feb. 7). Perhaps we can define the ambiguous term culture by what it is not: Pakistan is not India. Pakistan was and is not about dances, song or clothing, but religion. Alcohol is not […]
