Stories from the March 6, 2000 issue of the GW Hatchet.
I would like to thank the University community for its tremendous patience during the election the past week and the marathon counting process Wednesday night and Thursday morning. Certainly, no one on the Election Committee wanted it to take so long to count all the ballots, as we all had nice comfortable beds beckoning us […]
With the GW men’s basketball down Saturday afternoon by some 30 points in a nationally televised game against Atlantic 10 powerhouse Temple University, something truly special transpired. The capacity crowd at the Smith Center implored Coach Tom Penders to play the team’s sparingly used senior walk-ons, Mark Lund and Sam Anyan, with thunderous applause. Realizing […]
As a candidate who ran in the student elections last year, I completely disagree with several assertions made in The Hatchet’s Thursday staff editorial JEC Repeat. I cannot believe that anyone would think that the election process was better last year than this. Many people I ran into on the street during the two days […]
Unlike in past years, election night proved anticlimactic as relatively few GW students, or candidates for that matter, burned the midnight oil waiting for the announcement of the election results. Traditionally, the Student Association held a party at J Street the night election results were tallied. This way, students who might not know much about […]
Freshmen in Sunday’s residence hall lottery said limited housing options and University disorganization left them disstressed and unsure of their housing future. Other students with top lottery numbers rejoiced about their new rooms in the Dakota, which were reserved mainly for rising sophomores. Lottery numbers for rising sophomores started at 2,000 and went up to […]
Tim Keating of Rainforest Relief said the single greatest offset of the use of virgin wood fiber (is) the use of wastepaper. It is simply unfortunate that a liberal arts, seemingly progressive University allows the wastefulness that it does. I am not discussing the massive misuse of paper in the computer labs, or even the […]
Gymnastics falls despite solid scoreThe GW women’s gymnastics team finished third in a four-team meet Friday despite posting one of the best scores in the program’s history. GW posted a score of 194.800, trailing the University of Florida (195.900) and Central Michigan University (195.600). The Colonials finished ahead of the University of Kentucky (194.175). GW […]
Student Association presidential candidates Jeff Marootian and David Burt will participate in a run-off election Tuesday and Wednesday because neither reached the necessary 40 percent threshold, according to SA Election Committee statistics at 5 p.m. last Thursday. In the presidential race, Marootian garnered the most support with 37.59 percent of the total vote. Burt was […]
Augusto Pinochet, the former dictator of Chile, has been deemed ill-fit to stand trial by Britain and released to return to Chile. Those who clamored for his arrest and prosecution groan in dismay, as a brutal dictator has gotten away with murder and torture. Maybe not, as the government of Chile is considering prosecuting its […]
After sweeping LeMoyne College last weekend, the GW baseball team headed to Stockton, Ca., this weekend for a three-game set at Billy Hebert Field against the University of the Pacific and dropped all three. The Colonials fell to 4-9 and 1-9 on the road. Pacific rose to 14-2. Pacific 13, GW 7 Sunday, March 5 […]
