Stories from the November 9, 2000 issue of the GW Hatchet.
Two GW students competed at the 25th National Collegiate Taekwondo Association Championships last weekend held at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. Junior Maria Christian earned a silver medal for sparring in the women’s black-belt middleweight division.

The presidential election hanging in the balance of one state exposes the need to create an election system that truly represents American citizens. As the country waits for its next leader to be announced, Florida voters have found out they hold more power than the rest of the nation in determining the next president of […]
The phenomenon started in the basement of a warehouse in the East Village of New York City. It began with a couple of couriers delivering movies and ice cream to customers in less than an hour. Now serving 11 cities across the country and celebrating its D.C. location’s one-year anniversary this month, Kosmo.com is catching […]
As a resident of the Mount Vernon Campus and a GW student – yes, living at Mount Vernon still makes me a GW student – I’m becoming more and more appalled at the fact that we are consistently singled out at school-wide events. Recently, I attended the showing of The Legend of Baggar Vance and […]
