When GW students swipe their GWorld cards at on-campus food venues such as J Street, the transaction occurs instantly. But at off-campus restaurants such as TGI Friday’s and Au Bon Pain, transactions are far from immediate, and in many cases it takes minutes for a sale to be completed. The advent of Colonial Cash is […]

School vouchers passed the House. How exciting. But for those of you who are about to stop reading, I’m not going to talk about the logistics and evils of the Republican-backed plan. I am hardly an expert in public policy, and I’m not going to try my hand at such a boring topic. Here’s how […]

For the past few years the Student Association has been a bacteria that students choose to watch fester. Doing nothing to excise this bacterium, students have allowed it to grow into the boil on the butt of this campus that it is today.

Washington eatery mocks GW professor, “fat suits” An eating establishment in Washington state recently began requiring customers to sign a liability waiver before eating a new dessert, “the Bulge,” mocking proponents of obesity lawsuits. The waiver is a semi-serious effort by the owners of Seattle’s 5 Spot Diner to protect their business from any sort […]

During my first three weeks at GW I have encountered many conservative upperclassmen who offered me their warnings of a liberal bias in the classroom.

Foggy Bottom emerged relatively unscathed from a storm that left thousands without power as it tore through the East Coast Thursday night, giving students an opportunity to enjoy a four-day weekend. During the days off music blasted from rooms in Thurston Hall and other residence halls while students scoured the floors, still in their pajamas […]

In “Sororities see record interest” (Sept. 18, Web Extra), The Hatchet incorrectly reported that students can choose to visit all eight sororities the first night. Students must visit all sororities. The Panhellenic Association agreed, not voted, last year to refrain from using Townhouse Row for publicity. Sororities have always spent money on recruitment, but increased […]

It’s Saturday night and seven female students sit around the kitchen table in their third floor New Hall room. Equipped with a blender, a handle of Jose Cuervo and a bag of limes, they pound tequila shots while sipping frozen margaritas. Six drinks later, they’re ready to go out. GW alumnus and research fellow Aryeh […]

No injuries were reported, but the wall behind the bar was charred. At 11 p.m., an electrical device attached to the wall of the restaurant’s first floor bar caught […]
