Stories from the November 2, 2000 issue of the GW Hatchet.
The GW men’s soccer will make its first postseason appearance in eight years Friday night against top-ranked Dayton in the first round of the Atlantic 10 Championships at Rhode Island. If the No. 4-seeded Colonials win, they would advance to the championship round to play either No. 2 Massachusetts or No. 3 Rhode Island. The […]
Students and faculty enjoyed mild autumn weather Saturday as they toured the Potomac River on a cruise sponsored by GW’s Student Academic and Support Services. GW sponsors the Odyssey Cruise to build connections between students and faculty members in a social atmosphere, said Bridget Cooper, assistant to the vice president for SASS. Last year we […]
The GW crew team’s fall season is a time of hard work and preparation for the sprint racing in the spring. Last weekend the men’s and women’s teams entered their top boats in the Princeton Chase on Lake Carnegie in Princeton, N.J. The men’s team faced tough competition in the Men’s Heavyweight Eight Event in […]
Members of the Muslim Student Association shared the ancient art of glass painting with other students last week. Anisah Bagasra, a member of the MSA, said she began painting four years ago. Glass painting is a very religiously oriented activity, Bagasra said. The topics of the painting are nearly always related to the Muslim religion. […]
The GW golf team ended its fall season with a disappointing last-place finish Tuesday at the Seascape Invitational Tournament in Kitty Hawk, N.C.

If so, and if […]
The GW volleyball team came one point away from exorcising its Temple Owl demons on Halloween night at McGonigle Hall in Philadelphia. But, somehow and someway, Temple extended its dominance over the heartbroken Colonials winning Tuesday’s five-game thriller 15-11, 10-15, 11-15, 15-13, 16-14.

Since this is the final Forum before the election, I want to take this time to encourage everyone who has not voted to send in their absentee ballot or vote at their respective polling stations in D.C., Virginia or Maryland. This election is going to be the closest in 40 years and you can make […]
The world sunk closer to war on Oct. 12, as Middle-East violence escalated and terrorism took center stage. But out of D.C. the message was clear: positivity, peace and unity for all. These words were not preached by President Bill Clinton or a Pentagon official, but reverberated through the crowd amassed to see reggae legends […]
