Townhouse Row has the potential to expand and improve Greek-letter life on campus, but its vague planning and lack of fraternity and sorority commitment could inhibit current ideas for a Greek Village. To create this Greek Village, both the administration and the Greek community should work together to finalize details and set firm plans for […]

We appreciate the Hatchet’s recognition of our decision to stay on the air in Monday’s article “Fees threaten WRGW (Sept. 9, p. 1).” Our decision is not without careful research and attention to the constant monitoring of the situation. WRGW has been working wholeheartedly with administration to determine the best way to handle the circumstances. […]

The events of 9/11 focused the attention of the country like no other event in history. Seeing their greatest buildings imploding was, for many, the most traumatic and horrifying footage Americans had ever seen. Now, a year later, we, the living, have assumed the task of remembering those who have fallen. As anniversaries go, “9/11 […]

The Colonials (6-4) beat host Boise State University Friday and fell to Eastern Washington University and No. 8 University of Utah Saturday.

Summer, in the sexual escapade that is life (full of hasty fumblings, unfulfilled expectations and lonely mornings) is the climax, that blissful release that the whole year builds up to.

Senior midfielder Kimberly Sanders scored her first career goal in her first game against her twin sister Rachel, a defender for Ohio University. Despite Sanders’ goal and an […]

In response to Pietro M. deVolpi’s letter (“Defending Patriotism,” Sept. 12, p. 5), I would like to bring attention to the fact that over seventy countries’ people fell victim to the tragedy of September 11. If we truly mourn the lives lost, we have no business discriminating between the ethnicity and nationality of the victims. What right do we have to rally around those deaths as solely American, just because they occurred on American soil? Or do you mean to say that your heart only goes out to the “American” victims?

So we don’t have a football team. It is a sad reality every Saturday, and if you’re like me, sometimes you weep openly until you fall asleep amid tissues and a carton of ice cream while watching your third SportsCenter of the night. But as my colleague Brian Costa informed us in an article a […]

The GW women’s cross country team took home a fifth-place overall finish at the Navy Invitational Saturday morning. The men finished eighth overall in the second meet of the season for both teams. Host Navy swept the meet for the second straight year. The Midshipmen women finished first among 12 teams while the men topped […]

For seven weeks Matt Krouner lived in a hut with no running water or electricity. The sophomore slept covered by a mosquito net. He ate food with its head still attached. When it came to washing himself, he had to boil the water for 15 minutes to kill all the germs. “I’ve been to other […]
