I read “Phone outages annoy students” (Dec. 11, p. 3) and have found one serious misquote regarding what I said to The Hatchet. In the tenth paragraph I am quoted as having said that the problem persisted for one and one-half weeks and that all systems had returned to normal status Dec. 8. In fact […]

Thousands of protesters descended upon Washington, DC to protest the April 16th and 17th, 2000, meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. The headquarters of these institutions lie next to the George Washington University campus, and so GWU took center stage in the protests, being shut down for 3 days for security reasons […]

Amid the start of a new year, the GW women’s basketball team did something it has not done this season – beat a nationally ranked team. The Colonials’ win over Atlantic 10 rival Xavier (No. 22) Jan. 6 at the Smith Center launched GW to a 4-0 A-10 start, with conference wins over Duquesne, St. […]

Jan. 11, 2001 1:30 p.m. 900 24th St. Unit E College is full of life’s little lessons – your first time living on your own, renting an apartment or perhaps even subletting a friend’s place. Another lesson is the difference between the two. I returned to D.C. from sub-freezing Pennsylvania in the unseasonable 60-degree sunshine […]

In 1869, almost 50 years after the founding of GW, then known as Columbian College, Belva Ann Bennett Lockwood became the first woman to officially express a desire to study at GW. University officials turned down her application to the law school, saying that there was no public want for female lawyers, and therefore no […]
