Stories from the February 20, 2001 issue of the GW Hatchet.
GW has had a number of claims to fame recently: inaugural activities, a celebrity basketball game, hospitalizing Vice President Dick Cheney, and then a few weeks later the White House gunman, and the usual campus activities.

The GW women’s water polo team (2-2) beat Bucknell University and host Villanova University in two close games Saturday, but were beaten badly by defending Eastern Conference champion Princeton University.
