As a general rule in life, I’ve learned that people who are open and honest about what they think are generally more trustworthy than ones who are closed and reserved. It is a simple concept but, for one reason or another, one people tend to ignore when reporters call them. When a person’s name is […]

Aside from the GW men’s club lacrosse team’s schedule being posted on The Hatchet’s Web site, GW club sports teams are rarely mentioned.

The GW women’s water polo team notched one win in a tournament that gave its postseason berth to tournament winner Michigan. After losing to first-seeded Michigan 9-2 Friday afternoon, the Colonials ratcheted up their […]

While most think of the fraternity brothers of Animal House or jocks crushing beer cans over their heads, recent research shows females are increasingly hitting the bottle and tapping the keg. A study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health, published in the American […]

Two GW sophomores will begin a 4,000-mile bike ride from New Haven, Conn. to San Francisco May 30. Evan Johnson and Steve Carlson will join 28 other students from Yale and Villanova universities, the universities of Arizona and Colorado and Virginia Tech this summer for nine weeks to build homes for Habitat for Humanity and […]

President George W. Bush’s newest front in the “war on terrorism” is the classroom, and it will seriously harm academic freedom in this country if his preposterous ideas take effect.
