Stories from the December 4, 2000 issue of the GW Hatchet.
Protesters from around the country rallied at the Supreme Court steps to support their presidential candidate while the legal teams of Texas Gov. George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore squared off inside the court Friday. Police in riot gear separated demonstrators to prevent physical confrontation outside the Supreme Court, where justices heard arguments […]
The GW women’s basketball team played well enough offensively against the University of Iowa Sunday to keep its disappointing 26 turnovers and 23 personal fouls from hampering a 78-64 win. This time of year, don’t expect Picasso, Colonials head coach Joe McKeown said after the game. You’re just gonna get imitation art. The Colonials (3-3) […]
Adrian Freeman – who went by the aliases Shawn Benedict and Antonio Freeman – has been a fixture on GW’s campus as far back as 1993, according to students and workers in the University-owned 2000 Pennsylvania Ave. retail complex. This alleged rapist easily hid among and even became friends with GW students, faculty and staff. […]
Female GW administrators said several factors contribute to the low number of female administrators and faculty at GW. Grae Baxter, executive dean of Mount Vernon Campus, said fewer women are employed in higher education because of personal factors. There are women who legitimately make different career choices, said Baxter, who took a few years off […]
Originally Published 12/04/00 GW Delicatessen is a landmark on GW’s campus.

A permanent location will be found after legal challenges end and the Electoral College declares a president elect in the coming weeks. Officials booked the band Odyssey, a local cover band, set ticket prices at $45 […]
GW, one of the leading landowners in the District, is in good financial standing now, but that has not always been the case. More than once in its 179-year history GW found itself in significant financial trouble, saved once by Congress. Struggling to become solvent and determine its educational mission, the Columbian College – GW’s […]
1. Minnesota Vikings – They’re the real deal now. Robert Smith is a candidate for MVP honors and Cris Carter just keeps on catching touchdowns. Next week’s match-up with St. Louis might not be as close as once anticipated. The East is going through the Metrodome. 2. Miami Dolphins – What a year for the […]
Rallies at the Supreme Court and cold weather put a damper on GW’s participation in Friday’s World AIDS Day 2000 event. Featured speakers, including D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, failed to show and student attendance was noticeably low at two events promoted throughout campus. We put ads in The GW Hatchet and we put fliers […]
