Stories from the October 22, 2001 issue of the GW Hatchet.
Americans’ daily routines were casualties of the Sept. 11 tragedies. Activities that were once done with little thought – from air travel to spending a night in the city – now require a keen awareness of our surroundings. With the latest anthrax scares, Americans and GW students now must also exercise caution even when we […]
Computers and empty desks have replaced the barstools and lively crowd once found inside the building on the corner of 21st and G Streets. A weather station monitor now faces out of the large window, once the front entrance to a shop where students stopped to buy ice cream cones between classes. The name Quigley’s […]
“I don’t pay $30,000 to get treated like this” is certainly a phrase, or variation of one, that most of us on campus have heard. You can hear this if you hang around a J Street line or outside the financial aid office, but other GW departments and offices are not immune. This sentiment seems […]
A closed-door policy for practices instituted by new men’s basketball coach Karl Hobbs has caused confusion in an already complicated first week of scheduling in the Smith Center. According to an athletic official who wished to remain anonymous, Hobbs asked several members of the women’s team, who were jogging around the upper-level track in the […]
I do not understand the hippopotamus cartoon (Oct. 15, p. 4). I think it is anti-Semitic, but I do not understand the point it makes. What bothers me is the justification Hatchet Editor in Chief Russ Rizzo printed for publishing the cartoon. I totally support First Amendment protections of speech and the press. I also […]
Both head basketball coaches said they are pleased with the progress of the freshmen basketball players after their first week of collegiate practices. Men’s head coach Karl Hobbs said he was particularly happy with the development of freshman guard T.J. Thompson, a 5-foot-10 point guard from Germantown, Md. “I like what T.J.’s doing,” he said. […]
by Matt Berger I promised myself that I would not be like other former editors of The Hatchet who left the townhouse and criticized the actions of their successors. I am a strong believer in the fact that what makes The Hatchet great is the turnover of staff, at least every four years and the […]
The GW men’s soccer team’s two conference wins last weekend helped in its pursuit of the final Atlantic 10 playoff spot. Before the weekend, GW was tied for seventh place in the A-10, which only invites only the top four teams to post-season play. With a 4-2 win over La Salle Friday and a 6-0 […]
by Joe Ardito I found the staff editorial “Sluggish SA” (Oct. 18, p. 4) to be quite comical yet painfully frustrating at the same time. It was comical due to its complete lack of validity and frustrating for the same reason. The Hatchet asserted that, “With work, the SA can accomplish more than what students […]
The GW men’s water polo team ended a seven-game losing streak and earned a strategic seeding for an upcoming tournament with three wins this weekend at Princeton University. The Colonials defeated second-seeded Slippery Rock College for a fifth-place finish. The Colonials are preparing for the Nov. 2-3 Southern Championships, where the top four teams qualify […]
