Stories from the August 25, 2002 issue of the GW Hatchet.
Featuring views of national monuments, the State Department and the Capitol, GW’s newest residence hall opened to students Aug. 17 after a two-year legal struggle that made some residents nervous about whether they would be able to move in this August. While the 1957 E St. residence hall will open on time for fall semester, […]
“Love is a many splendored thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love.” So says Ewan McGregor’s character, Christian, in Moulin Rouge: If only it were that simple. The Last Kiss, the latest film from Italian writer-director, Gabriele Muccino, explores the complexity of love and the strain of relationships. The […]
I read the article regarding the two leaders dismissed from CI, as well as the column written by Kate Stepan (July 8). Although I appreciate the Hatchet’s goal to communicate news to students, I feel the article exploited two members of our community.

What happened to Wesley Snipes? We know he’s no A-list actor, more a stand-in for roles turned down by Denzel Washington, but in his new movie Undisputed, Snipes (Blade and Blade II) sinks to new lows delivering a painfully contrived performance.

June 1, New Haven, Conn. – Aug. 3, San Francisco, Calif. Wake up at 5:30 a.m., eat, dress in spandex and ride. Armed with a map of the day’s route, water, food and spare tires, juniors Steve Carlson and Evan Johnson biked 70 miles a day – before stopping for lunch. This describes an average […]
While buying books for classes once entailed hours in line at the GW bookstore to buy textbooks at University prices, an increasing amount of students said they are opting to buy their books online after comparison shopping at about a dozen Web sites. With classes a week away, many students on campus and at home […]
