There is a good movie in We Were Soldiers. Somewhere in the two hour 20 minute Mel Gibson war flick, there is a shred of redeeming value. With that much screen time, there just has to be. The film attempts to recount the experiences of war wives, widows, young gunners on the front lines and […]

Generally regarded as a more low-key race, this year’s Program Board Executive Chair election pits friends against each other as three candidates vie for votes among the same peer group. Juniors Josh Bhatti, Ben Posner and Bryan Gless said they met while working for the PB last year. Bhatti scheduled concerts for the PB this […]

Students went most of the day without knowing which rooms were being taken, and at least a handful of students were booked to rooms that […]

I was very pleased to read Nizar Wattad’s incisive and thought-provoking Feb. 25 Hatchet forum piece (“Israel’s perilous path to war”). Wattad has done the GW community a great service in bringing to light the Palestinian side of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a side he correctly asserts is too often neglected or glossed over in this […]

I think that the Community Living and Learning Center and the University are being dishonest with students about housing prices for next year. The new housing prices were not posted on the CLLC Web site until Friday afternoon, two days before the rising junior/senior lottery. Most students do not even know that all room prices […]

The Colonial women will not enter this weekend’s Atlantic 10 tournament undefeated, as it seemed they would until last week. But they remain the team entering Philadelphia’s Liacouras Center the No. 1 seed for the sixth time in coach Joe McKeown’s 13 years. “It would have been nice to be 16-0, but being number one […]

When she’s not raising a $100 at the GW athlete date auctions like she did earlier this month, Lindsey Davidson is raising the level of play on the women’s basketball team. The spunky junior, who struggled earlier this season, is hitting her stride in time for the Atlantic 10 Tournament, which starts Saturday for the […]
