I’m in this long distance relationship. I like the guy and all but I’m starting to question whether it is worth keeping up the relationship if eventually I know it will end. I think of all the money invested in it and it’s nice knowing I have someone and that I’m getting play, but seriously, […]

The GW baseball team is anxious to finally play ball this weekend. In its first series of the season, the Colonials take on host University of North Carolina-Wilmington in a doubleheader Saturday and finish up the three-game season opener with an afternoon match Sunday. The Colonial will have their work cut out for them against […]

As an avid, but frustrated GW basketball fan and alumna, I am writing to commend Bernard Barrow for his behavior at last Sunday’s men’s basketball game against Duquesne. While four of his teammates scuffled with members of the other team, he simply sat at half court and watched. Perhaps if Barrow’s teammates followed his example, […]

I enjoyed reading The Hatchet’s story about the Order of the Hippo, a group I am proud to remain a member of though I am no longer employed by the University. However, lest the University marshal bring her mace down upon my head, I best clarify that the Order of the Hippo has its own, […]

Hatchet readers never fail to surprise. In a recent letter to the editor (“Off-color advice,” Feb. 5), GW graduate student Rania Awwad took the newspaper to task for printing “vulgar sex advice” in its new advice column. The advice in question (“Burying the Hatchet,” Jan. 25) concerned women’s orgasms and specifically, how to achieve them. […]

A lack of interest in the new GW World Community study abroad program, which requires students to live at the Mount Vernon Campus, has forced the University to extend the application deadline a month past the original Feb. 12 date, MVC Executive Dean Grae Baxter said. GW officials created the program last month after they […]
