Stories from the January 29, 2004 issue of the GW Hatchet.
Alex Greenwald and Jacques Brautbar of Phantom Planet had a verbal exchange Saturday that will probably resonate through the ages. “How many college kids can you fit into at Olsson’s?” “This many!” Exactly one day after the band appeared on “Late Night with David Letterman,” Phantom Planet took the stage at Olsson’s, a small book […]
At least 50 students’ computers were infected with the MyDoom virus this week, after thousands of messages swarmed GW’s e-mail system and slowed delivery. Messages infected with the worm, which have subject lines including “hi,” “hello” and “mail delivery system,” have traveled around the world in the past few days. Several universities’ and corporations’ systems […]
Where: 237 2nd St. N.W. (one block west from Capitol Hill) Prices: $12 all you can drink (Saturday) Girls: Catholic and fresh Rating: 3 1/2 out of 5 On a Saturday night deep into winter, when you’ve visited all the local spots, listened to “Living On A Prayer” at Madhatter’s 15 too many times, done […]
Sophomore Isaac Njako and junior Alex Green watched television in Kogan Plaza Wednesday. Members of the Theta Delta Chi fraternity braved the cold to raise money for cancer patients. The fraternity will sit in Kogan again Thursday. Redskins cheerleaders will join the men from noon to 2 p.m.
If you’re reading this, then you may be a little too old for “The Perfect Score.” Well, that depends – do movies filled with stereotypes, awkward love scenes and impassioned speeches about “finding yourself” still do it for you?

Last season, the San Francisco Ballet flocked to the Kennedy Center, leaving their indelible footprints on the opera house stage with a performance laden with uniform consistency. If SFB represents the best teamwork to be found on the dance scene, the American Ballet Theatre of New York is the varsity players of the form. What […]
It’s a good thing for Alec Baldwin fans that the actor transferred from GW when he did. Otherwise, he may have been a wannabe politician surrounded by horrible actors. Baldwin, who attended GW in the late 1970s, majored in political science and even ran for Student Association president in 1979. He held a position on […]
Apparently GW Hatchet contributor Paul Kendrick missed his talking points from the Democratic National Committee, for he is one of the few remaining liberals who still has enough political nerve to take issue with the state of the American economy.

One would hope that there was more to “The Big Bounce” (Warner Bros.) than its trailer let on, but that’s just not the case.
