Of all the stories printed in The Hatchet this year, one continues to stick out in my mind: “Georgetown rejects?” (Sept. 6, p. 1). Though the article was printed an entire semester ago, I can’t get it out of my head. For those Colonials who don’t remember, the news article told the treacherous tale of […]

Start the slideshow! Posted Saturday, Feb. 25, 6:40 p.m. BRONX, N.Y. – The cheers were loud in Rose Hill Gym Saturday, but the GW men’s basketball team could not be deafened. Despite a second-half run by the Rams, the No. 6 Colonials topped Fordham 76-65 in Division I basketball’s oldest facility. The win extends the […]

A former GW student pleaded guilty in D.C. Superior Court last week to assault with a dangerous weapon for striking and kicking another student until he was unconscious outside of a local nightclub in October, court documents show.

I believe a new presidential electoral system is in order. We need something that rewards candidates who have bold ideas, while drawing more voters into the process as well. Therefore, I recommend we emulate the French. Hear me out! The French have an excellent method by which to elect their president. It is a two-stage […]

The organization, which promotes moderate, non-violent methods of solving the conflict, has been traveling to college […]

Quite literally, that is – the name for the art movement of the 1920s is a nonsense word in German that means “nothing at all.” And because of this, many of the visitors to the National Gallery’s exhibit “Dada,” which is the first major exploration of the movement, will think nothing of […]

At this point, it’s obvious: GW is a very politically-minded school located in the heart of the nation’s capital. And yes, our nationally-decorated student paper provides more political insight than the “Washington Journal” to all our junior Carvilles and O’Reillys. But this being said, is it wrong of me as a student (who is both […]

The University’s Office of Foggy Bottom/West End Affairs launched a new version of its neighborhood Web site earlier this month to make it more neighborhood-friendly, officials said. GW created the Web site, www.neighborhood.gwu.edu, a year and a half ago to inform residents about campus development issues and to receive feedback on its plans. The new […]
