After losses to Harvard and Bucknell Universities Saturday, the GW men’s water polo team placed ninth at the Eastern College Athletic Conference Championships this weekend. GW clinched 5th seed at next week’s Southern Championships by finishing fifth in the Collegiate Water Polo Association Championships. They will have to finish in the top four at Southerns […]
Sometimes when I go for a run, I go to the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery. The grounds, where so many of our bravest patriots peacefully rest, have a distinct, quiet power with an ability to move the most stoic visitors. Prior to Sept. 11, I would explore the cemetery with a sense of […]
Students and University employees have experienced one of the unfortunate side effects from a District in high alert with slowed mail delivery. Of course, everyone understands that with deadly biological agents traveling around the city and surrounding areas through the postal system, delays will occur. But the U.S. Postal Service should be honest with the […]
Helping others is not simply what human services majors do on the weekend. It’s going to be their job.

You know because Hatchet reporters dug through police reporters and investigated the incident. Now you know Smith has been expelled for his actions. Whether you take it as a lesson that serious actions have […]
Despite common American impressions, terrorists are “psychologically normal” and do not violate their interpretation of Islamic law by participating in suicide bombings, terrorist expert and GW professor Jerrold Post told students Wednesday night in Funger Hall. “(Terrorist) groups expel disturbed people because they are a security risk,” Post told a crowd of about 70 people.

Government strips Web sites of information The government has been busy removing what it considers sensitive information from agency Web sites, a move that has fueled a growing national debate over the public’s right to know. The decision to re-examine the information on the sites came soon after Sept. 11. Days later, the Bureau of […]
The $360 raised during last year’s “A Night to Give Back” community service program gave organizers a reason to try it again.
