Pardon me while I wallow in my own emotional and motivational filth. I am really not that mature. You would want to think that over the last three years of college I would have matured into this presentable young man that parents would want their daughters to bring home. But no, the difference I notice […]

I saw The Hatchet’s story in Thursday’s issue based in part on two telephone interviews with a reporter (“Internet confuses GW applicant process,” April 12, p. 1). While I cannot quibble with the overall message – that we have not done as well as we should – a couple of things got lost in the […]

“Accusations of awful things,” as Atilla Cosby wrote in an August 31 Hatchet op-ed characterizing an alleged sexual assault incident in May, have resurfaced in connection with the GW basketball player. In January the U.S. Attorney’s Office filed new charges stemming from the incident, going for misdemeanor charges rather than a felony. Athletic department and […]

GW will study how spirituality and religion affect health with the George Washington Institute on Spirituality and Health, planned to open in June. The institute will sponsor conferences, retreats, awards and continuing education programs, GWISH Program Manager Renee Bergen said. The John Templeton Foundation, a group that invests money in groups that conduct research on […]

I am writing to express my outrage at the elitist snobbery expressed two weeks straight on The Hatchet’s opinion page. Senior Ashly Richards wrote on April 5 (“Police harass students in bar busts”) that the “8,000” perverts in the Aston area are “allowed to expose themselves” while underage drinkers are “harassed.” On April 12, Justin […]

Former GW student and Law School senior financial aid assistant Darvelle McShay died April 7 at Howard University Hospital of pulmonary hypertension. McShay was 25 years old and had worked for the University since 1994. Doctors had treated McShay for a heart murmur since he was born. Relatives said he did not like to talk […]

I wanted to respond to Monday’s article regarding the name change of Riverside Hall (“University renames Riverside Towers,” April 9, p. 1). Many people that were quoted were voicing their concerns that they heard nothing about the name change until it already happened. Many members of the class of 2001 can remember the days when […]

GW basketball player Attila Cosby will return to court June 25 to face nine counts of misdemeanor sexual abuse, theft and weapons possession, a D.C. Superior Court judge decided March 29, according to court documents. Cosby faces a maximum of nearly four-and-half years in prison if convicted. GW Athletic Director Jack Kvancz said Saturday he […]

Since its inception, GW has striven to expand and improve its image. With recent construction projects, landscaping and renovations, the beautification effort is obvious. I look forward to opportunities new buildings, facilities and improved technology will provide. What concerns me is students’ loss of public space within buildings. The addition to the Marvin Center, for […]

GW Pride’s second-annual Drag Show brought food, prizes and fake breasts to the Hippodrome Friday night, as a crowd of about 300 students and area residents watched drag queens and kings from Puss N’ Boots Productions perform on stage. “It was good fun and very entertaining,” said sophomore Katerina Tassiopoulos. Senior Andrea Cerbin, who performed […]
