Congratulations are in order for Student Association President-elect Phil Robinson. After losing the first election, Robinson comes into office with a commanding 59 percent of the vote in last Wednesday and Thursday’s presidential run-off. Robinson must do several things to ensure that the partisan rancor and self-important posturing of SA politics does not disable his […]

WomenOs water polo goalkeeper Lisa Greenfield said winning two of three games this weekend kicks off the conference season just right. Now the Colonials can face the conference with the confidence that comes with a winning record and the knowledge that it kept pace with Princeton, the No. 15 team in the country. The Colonials […]

Call it The GW Hatchet “Working for Us.” Call it putting the “you” back in GWU. Call it compassionate journalism. Whatever you call it, we’re rolling out more changes based on reader feedback.

I am responding to The Hatchet Feb. 4 (“WRGW gets on board with new basketball policy”) because several aspects of the story disturb me. The story contains several inaccuracies. The statement attributed to WRGW broadcaster Vinay Murthy that I did not begin to enforce the “players only” travel policy until after GW’s Jan. 9 loss […]

The Interfraternity Council will choose one fraternity to bring onto campus Tuesday. Alpha Phi Delta, Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Alpha Mu made presentations to the IFC during the past two weeks. “Bringing on other fraternities is a positive sense of competition, in that new opportunities really force older chapters to stay on their toes […]

The election is finally over, at least we hope so. You know with Student Association candidates these things can drag on for weeks, but it appears that Phil Robinson has grabbed the $11,000 prize. You can’t help but feel bad for Josh Singer. He had the absolute elation of winning only to have one vote […]

The Graduate School of Education and Human Development canceled all of next year’s American sign language classes last week because the school can no longer receive tuition revenue from undergraduate students enrolled in its classes. “I have no choice,” said Jay Shotel, chair of the teacher preparation and special education department in the GSEHD, which […]
