Stories from the October 18, 2001 issue of the GW Hatchet.
The Last Castle (Dreamworks) is not your typical war flick. In a genre largely pervaded by formulaic plots, the film presents an interesting twist. Both sides are fighting for the red, white and blue, or so they would have you believe. Robert Redford plays the role of Eugene R. Irwin, revered United States Army general […]
Greek Week begins at Six Flags Greek Week kicks off Oct. 21 with an all-day trip to Six Flags America. The week includes a variety of events, including entertainment and community service projects. Greek Week is historically a week of activities that involve all recognized Greek-letter organizations. Other student groups are encouraged to participate as […]
A retrospective exhibit is like a conversation with the life of an artist.Walking through the galleries of the museum, you are able to see where they came from stylistically and how they develop and mature. This is the sensation one gets walking through the National Gallery of Art’s new sculpture exhibit by Henry Moore. Moore […]
Student Association President Roger Kapoor said the SA this year has a hand in virtually all aspects of student life, from academics to contraceptives, rather than setting its sights on one main issue. Delivering his “State of the SA” speech to the Senate Tuesday in Thurston Hall, Kapoor said the SA has reacted to student […]

The SA says it has plans to do more than dole out money, including […]

It was a day of recovery for Americans in Arlington, Va., at the Clarendon Day festival, and my friends and I decided to take advantage of the free trip on the Metro to check it out. This yearly festival greeted us with […]
