Stories from the January 15, 2004 issue of the GW Hatchet.
After a rather uneventful break in “Sin City” (a.k.a. Las Vegas), I was excited for a triumphant return to D.C. nightlife. As tiresome as it may be at times, the odds are usually in your favor to have a good time. Sometimes a trip to a new bar is better than getting a royal flush. […]
Despite winning its fifth- straight A-10 Title in 2003, the GW gymnastics team failed to make the NCAA Southeast Regional, something it had done in 2002. The team remained competitive with regional powerhouses University of Florida, Maryland and University of North Carolina, but the Colonials suffered through injuries and too many mediocre performances, particularly on […]
Ben Affleck: This has nothing to do with the whole J. Lo thing. I could care less. Have you seen anything he’s made in the last three years? Do you see where I’m going with this? I don’t think he reads scripts anymore. If I had to guess, I’d say he covers them in gravy […]
“Big Fish” by Jesse Stanchak Features Editor “Big Fish” may be the strangest, most dazzlingly whimsical, downright gorgeous film of the year. Director Tim Burton returns to form with a quirky, delightfully impossible fable about Ed Bloom (Albert Finney), a dying old man who has spun his life into an elaborate tall tale. The film […]

Unjust policy Secularism is generally defined as the view that religious considerations should be excluded from civil affairs and/or public education. Nowhere in that definition is the outright repression of religious freedoms found. However, French President Jacques Chirac decided to define secularism exactly so by banning religious insignias at school – an act that many […]
The Howard Dean of four years ago may have been just the man Democrats needed to take on President George W. Bush. NBC recently aired footage of Dean from Canadian television while he served as governor of Vermont. This footage showed Dean as a straight-talking, pragmatic New Democrat, willing to depart from the Democratic establishment […]
SA to evaluate Solomon Amendment The Student Association and the GW Law School will host a forum on the Law School’s decision to join the Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights, a coalition of schools suing the Pentagon for alleged discrimination. The Solomon Act prevents universities that do not allow the military to recruit on […]
A new year brings a fresh start for everyone, but the only way to make the future brighter is to learn from the past. Here are just a few of the things GW taught me in 2003. On our campus, deans have been devalued like the Mexican peso. Sometimes after walking out of Phillips Hall […]
