Stories from the October 23, 2000 issue of the GW Hatchet.
Students living in Aston Hall say they are annoyed by charges to their phone bills for local and long distance phone calls. Our phone, for whatever reason, charges us for calls to the places like the Columbian School (office) and the (GW) Bookstore, said Brian Chase, a junior who lives in the Aston. (We were […]
OK, OK, everybody got their little wish of having a Subway Series. So now that I can stop watching baseball, I can focus on the second most important thing going in our country now: the presidential election. I have been around politics my whole life, and politics have mediocre credibility in my mind. But the […]
