Posted 7:01 p.m. Oct. 15 by Patrick W. Higgins U-WIRE (DC BUREAU) (U-WIRE) WASHINGTON–President George W. Bush and other members of his administration pledged to increase the number of minority homeowners by 5.5 million people within the next decade at a day-long conference in Washington, D.C. Tuesday. “America is a great place,” Bush said, “and […]
English professor James Brown has three things to say to his students about plagiarism. “First, they’ll get caught. Second, they’ll have to face themselves in the mirror every morning . third, if they are capable of doing killer research, why not get credit for it by placing quotation marks around the material and citing the […]
Awaiting an expanded home in Stuart and Lisner halls, the GW Law School improved upon its student and teaching quality this year after receiving a $1.5 million budget increase from the University. Considered among “top (University) priorities” by Vice President for Academic Affairs Donald Lehman, the school spent the bulk of the funds on four […]

Many administrators dismiss complaints from students as whining and complaining – but the two writers offered valid options for correcting the problem. I […]
There are ten victims and eight are dead. The D.C.-area sniper has struck fear in the community through unbelievable accuracy and deception. The community is so shocked by this abnormal assault on the District that presumably one man has been able to affect an alarming amount of day-to-day activities of ordinary citizens. Homecoming football games […]
Allocation procedure fair by Emily Horne I was incredibly disappointed by The Hatchet editorial “Money talks” (Oct. 10, p.4), which called the College Democrats and College Republicans “over-funded” and that, in providing them with generous allocations, the Student Association is “blind to the campus atmosphere.” In fact, in providing these groups with the funds needed […]
