Stories from the October 8, 2001 issue of the GW Hatchet.
Placing blame on the relationship between Israel and the United States for last month’s terror attacks on New York and Washington in “Shift Policy?” (Oct. 4, p. 4) is irresponsible, lacks historical backing and clouds the realities of the current global environment. GW deserves better. Let us say hypothetically the United States were to declare […]
Both GW men’s and women’s cross country teams placed second behind East Carolina University in Saturday’s Overton-Pirate Invitational meet in Greenville, N.C. Junior David Talbird led the men’s race finishing fifth out of 39 runners. Freshman Mary Beth McCullough placed sixth out of 29 runners to lead the women’s team. Talbird ran a 26:13, 23 […]
An empty stage, a spotlight, hundreds of scrutinizing eyes on the faces of rowdy college students and no script. While such a scenario may strike fear in the hearts of most GW students, to the members of GW’s only improv/sketch comedy group, Recess, it is all in a day’s work. “When you get on stage […]
Alexander Klochkoff, a sophomore at the University of Maryland College Park, was found outside his Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house facedown with no pulse in a beanbag chair Sept. 5.

After 18 years living the life of thrash-metal decadence, Megadeth has come out on the other end, heavily scarred but somehow still alive and breathing. Does […]
It’s the feeling you get when you’re talking about the principal behind her back and realize she’s standing right behind you. It happens when you’re meticulously detailing your dad’s car and realize the wax has dried in the sun and will never come off. Or when you step into a class to find a mid-term […]
The GW men’s basketball team is starting a new annual tradition to go along with its new faces. The team will run four laps around the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall Oct. 10 at noon.

A character-driven thriller that combines the right proportions of taut angst and comic relief thanks to the direction of John Dahl, Joy Ride is a nicely acted serving of classic film noir. Writers Clay Tarver and J.J. Abrams fashion a clever variant on the vintage 1971 Steven Spielberg TV movie Duel, although steering clear of […]
About 300 GW students put on their walking shoes Saturday morning and braved drizzly conditions to participate in the 15th annual AIDS Walk Washington on the National Mall. The students comprised the largest team in the five-kilometer event, which drew 10,000 people. Together, the students alone raised more than $5,000 for the Whitman-Walker clinic. Senior […]
