Stories from the July 8, 2002 issue of the GW Hatchet.
Students have one more reason to avoid being caught drinking underage this year as parents will be notified when students receive alcohol violations, GW officials said. GW only notified parents about drug violations and hospitalizations up until this spring, when the University decided to contact parents when Student Judicial Services finds a student guilty of […]
Thousands of patriotic area residents and tourists attempted to beat the 100-degree Fourth of July heat, staking out positions for the annual fireworks on the National Mall. Members of the Sigma Nu fraternity (l.) were among many GW students who participated in Independence Day festivies including the annual parade and the Silk Road cultural festival. […]
Student Activities Center officials announced rock musician John Mayer will perform Monday, Sept. 2 to close out 2002 Welcome Week activities. Mayer is set to bring his guitar skills and jazz music to the Smith Center at 9 p.m., adding to a week of programs from Aug. 29-Sept. 3 already including comedian Lewis Black and […]
I covered my ears, wincing as electrical shrieks in painfully grating tones resonated through a church auditorium.

Yes, college students have reached the age where parental control is no longer necessary and even unheard of, but they are not absolved from being held accountable for their actions.

New options to join J-Street line up With the addition of three food options at J Street this year, GW’s food service provider Aramark will offer GW students a better variety than before, GW officials said.

As a fellow alum from the class of 2001, I would like to offer an opposing view. Ms. […]
