Stories from the January 29, 2004 issue of the GW Hatchet.
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? If you’re mentally stuck in high school, then “The Perfect Score” is a serviceable, if trite, […]
Undeterred by Sunday night’s snow, Tantric rolled into D.C. to open for the band 3 Doors Down on its winter tour, which consists of nine dates along the East Coast and in the South. The guys are promoting their new album As We Go which is scheduled to hit stores on Feb. 24. After their […]
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. Economic growth, soaring investor and consumer confidence and home ownership rates, and more than 500,000 […]
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. All of the film’s laughs manage to fit in its 30-second trailer, and the story isn’t expanded much further than the premise provided by its previews. The film tells the story […]
Pandering to students When The Hatchet routinely runs accounts of the serious consequences of excessive and often underage drinking in its Crime Log, it is ludicrous that the Hatchet editorial board irresponsibly declared underage drinking “a seemingly insignificant issue” (“Intriguing Lawsuit,” Jan. 22, p. 4). The countless tales of emergency room visits and criminal behavior […]
3 Doors Down blasted the doors off the DAR Constitution Hall Sunday night with a southern rock furor. Their vibrant performance with the more youthful bands Tantric and Shinedown made for an eclectic mix of alternative rock. The band began its set with an elaborate light show, but the crowd didn’t brighten up until two […]
Honors fraternity looks for recruits The Phi Sigma Pi coed national honors fraternity will hold an informational “meet night” Tuesday. The event will be held in the Marvin Center Continental Ballroom from 8 to 10 p.m. The fraternity holds social programs and fundraising activities throughout the year. All members must have at least a 3.0 […]
Last year the administration proposed a mandatory summer session for rising juniors that could have generated up to $11 million in perpetual revenue for GW, according to University projections. Although the plan may have had the ability to solve a number of revenue-related issues for the University, it was met with nearly unanimous opposition from […]
