I read with interest the March 8 article on vandalism at the Dakota – and the possibility of all residents footing the bill unless the real perpetrators are turned in (“GW may charge for damage,” p. 2). I have strong feelings on this subject having taught at a private college where a few rich alcoholic […]

GWPride spent last week combating homophobia and teaching students about gay and lesbian issues by hosting a transgender speaker, activism sessions, a preview of a local play and movie screenings during their annual Out and About Week.

The article, “Xavier shoots down GW in title match” is the best I have ever read in The Hatchet’s sports section (March 8, p. 12).

Larry King made a surprise appearance at the Media and Public Affairs building during a ceremony Thursday to commemorate Westwood One Radio’s donation of more than 1,000 reel-to-reel tapes to GW. The collection includes 50 years of radio news coverage, including reporting during World War II, original Larry King programs and the “World Today” news […]

GW senior Erika Emeruwa is an all-around excellent marketing student with amazing promise in advertising. Her talent did not slip by the American Advertising Federation, which recognized her as one of the “Most Promising Minority Students of 2001” last week. Considering Emeruwa’s impressive credentials, it is no surprise that the AAF chose her as one […]

Fewer freshmen walked away from GW’s housing selection homeless this year than previous years after the University changed the system allowing them choose first. Sixty-four freshmen were put on the guaranteed waiting list for housing after Sunday’s eight-hour housing lottery for rising sophomores – 180 fewer than last year, when rising juniors and seniors chose […]
