Few can argue that Woody Allen makes great romantic comedies. His films, including such classics as Hannah and Her Sisters, are a mix between a Neil Simon play and a trip to the psychotherapist. Allen’s movies are reliably funny, smart and timeless in their observations of sexually dysfunctional relationships. If only director Peter Chelsom’s Town […]

The Student Athletic Advisory Council presented $400 to the Arlington Alexandria Coalition for the Homeless at the group’s first annual banquet in the Smith Center Thursday night. The donation came from profits of SAAC’s fall date auction, which raised more than $2,000. The remaining portion will fund SAAC events and activities next year, SAAC president […]

Former head athletic trainer Jacquelyn Jenkins filed suit against GW and Athletic Director Jack Kvancz last May for sexual discrimination. According to court documents obtained by The Hatchet, Jenkins alleges Kvancz specifically prohibited her from working with the men’s basketball team solely because she is a woman.

Panhellenic Council President Nini Khozeimeh said she will give her recommendation to the University Monday morning, and GW will most […]

In order to spice up GW’s campus for next fall, I have a few recommendations to include in the campus plan. Perhaps with these changes, the plan will be acceptable to the D.C. Board of Zoning Adjustment. First, I want to do something constructive with the patio space next to the dome thing in Kogan […]

Terrible service at restaurants is a pet peeve of mine. I was once a waitress and I know what it is like on the other side of the apron. Sure the kitchen can be slow. Sure the waiter/waitress could have a large area to serve, but there is no reason it should take 25 minutes […]
