Stories from the December 10, 2001 issue of the GW Hatchet.
After making Jerry Maguire, actor Tom Cruise and writer-director Cameron Crowe made plans to work together again. Once they saw the Spanish film Open Your Eyes, which Crowe says they “couldn’t stop talking about,” they knew what their next project together would be. “We were definitely looking for something that we could do together, and […]
GW presented plans to the Zoning Commission for the construction of two new residential buildings along 23rd Street. One is a row of townhouses to be built on what is now the Smith Center parking lot. The other is a 700-bed residence hall planned for the empty lot across from the Smith Center and the […]
Seven years ago Jimmie’s Chicken Shack frontman Jimi Haha appeared on the “Jerry Springer Show” as the boyfriend of a girl who worked her way through college in the dominatrix industry. “It was about a free trip to Chicago and $50 a day that I stretched to $500.
