In regards to Paul Prados’ letter (Please free our student groups, Feb. 14), I vehemently disagree with his assertions that GW administrators should not have oversight of off-campus events sponsored by GW student groups.

I believe that The Hatchet’s political cartoon (Feb. 22, p. 4) misrepresented the 4.5 percent tuition increase for next year. The tuition increase is actually a reasonable and moderate increase.

Non-graduating senior David Burt, who is running for SA president, has included a message board where […]

Sophomore Alyssa Mastroianni described the impromtu speech given by Brother Steven, a self-proclaimed born-again Christian, Wednesday afternoon in front of the Marvin Center. He was telling us we were all going to hell, where Elvis and Tupac are waiting. He’s ridiculous, but it’s entertaining.
