While walking through campus last Thursday, my friends and I ran into a group rallying through the rain.

Pretty soon it became obvious that we had thrust ourselves into the Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance at […]

The GW women’s cross country team had one of its best races of the season Saturday at the seven-team Maryland Invitational, finishing third behind first-place American and the hosting Terrapins. Junior Darrell Andruski led the men’s team to a fourth-place finish. American’s women runners swept the top three spots as the Eagles racked up 35 […]
Maryam Syed Sarrafee, in a letter to The Hatchet Oct. 14 (“Selective protection?” p.4), takes issue with a statement that denounces intimidation on college campuses and has been signed by many college and university presidents.

The Colonials finished the weekend with a 2-2 record, placing them halfway down the field of 12. “We saw a lot of positives, […]
The West End is in a perfect location, located on I Street in the middle of campus. You would think that with its prominent location across from Rice Hall, the administration would pay the building a little attention. No such luck! Many residents, including myself, are annoyed with the disordered state of the building. The […]
