Something does happen at GW, but students who were stuck in Gelman studying for midterms may have missed three of the most distinguished visitors the campus has seen in a while. In one 24-hour period in one room, and on one stage in the Jack Morton Auditorium in the School of Media and Public Affairs, […]

It frustrated me to read the complaints about mail services in the past few editions of The Hatchet (“Mail woes continue,” Oct. 14, p. 4). I have a mailbox outside the University, not so that I can avoid the problems of not getting mail sent to me through the University, but so that I do […]

The GW golf team doubled its pleasure at the Don Mershon Classic Monday, winning its first tournament since 1999, while freshman Brian Carroll won the first individual title of his career. Carroll’s win came just one week after teammate Andrew Gallo, also a freshman, won the Temple Invitational. The winning total of 606 for the […]

If I was a drinker I would have bought a lot of alcohol in an attempt to get drunk and forget the sorry events of Midnight Madness. I am sure the rest of the GW population will agree with me, after all by the time we got to the count down there were only two […]

The International Monetary Fund employee is part of a growing number of District area professionals who proudly call themselves “slugs.” When […]

Back in spring training, who would have thought the San Francisco Giants and Anaheim Angels would be fighting it out at the end of October in the World Series? Nobody. At the beginning of the playoffs, who would have thought for the first time ever the two wildcard winners would make the World Series? Nobody. […]

University officials placed restrictions on Internet file sharing from residence hall computers last week after significant network slowdowns this year. The limitations on how much the network in each residence hall can handle come after increased student use of the newest version of the popular file-sharing program KaZaA. The increase caused network traffic to nearly […]

I found the headline “TGIF’s alleges fraud” (Oct. 14, p.1) to be very misleading. Unless there is something about the situation that was not printed, TGI Friday’s is not alleging fraud. Fraud, according to Random House Webster’s College Dictionary, is “deceit or trickery perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage.” Selling […]
