After a two-year period that has included the attack on the Pentagon, anthrax mailings, heightened terror alerts and sniper shootings, GW security officials said they are looking to constantly improve campus security measures. But officials are still calling on students to take preventative steps to maintain their own security and remain attune to their surroundings. […]

For incoming freshmen hoping to see a Major League Baseball team while they attend GW, the next few weeks should go a long way in determining whether that team is the Orioles in Baltimore or the Expos in Washington. If the Montreal Expos are relocated to the District, it is still unclear when they would […]

Students looking to join GW’s Greek-letter community will have the opportunity to get involved within the first month they are in D.C. Although Greek-letter organizations at several other universities recruit new members when students are second-semester freshmen or sophomores, GW’s fraternities and sororities look for pledges in mid-September.

Last fall, the Hatchet spent the first eight weeks of the NFL season in search of D.C.’s best sports bars. For all those days and nights when watching the game on the couch with the remote just isn’t enough, we proudly bring you the Brett Favres and Jerry Rices of the hundreds of area sports […]

By now you should have come to at least one important conclusion: residence halls are small. GW has packed all of you in so tightly […]

There is nothing worse than the kindergarten teacher-like demeanor of the Colonial Cabinet at Colonial Inauguration. The last thing incoming students need is an idealistic, super upbeat, completely positive assessment of what is to come in their next four years in D.C. If you haven’t figured it out by now, GW is not simply what […]

Much has been revolutionized since the inception of the Wachowski brothers’ Matrix phenomena. Never before had mainstream cinema and philosophy been paired so successfully with the accessories of sex appeal, aggression and extreme cinematography; the original “Matrix” broke this boundary, “Reloaded” however, does not. The viewer joins Neo (Keanu Reeves) and his fellow freedom fighters […]

A few years back, I realized that between first grade and now, one thing has remained constant: my undying love for toilet humor. You know, poop and pee jokes, sexual innuendoes, etc. Really high brow stuff. Good ‘ol poop and pee stories still crack me up just as much as ever. It was with this […]
