Stories from the November 16, 2000 issue of the GW Hatchet.
Man robs GW student (p. 1, Nov. 13) incorrectly reported that the University Police Department will not file an incident report for a Nov. 9 robbery of a student at 22nd and L streets. UPD will not post a Crime Alert because the incident happened off campus.

We still don’t know who will be the next president of the United States. The White House hinges on the state of Florida. It’s our fault.
