PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 28 – Since beating Georgia Dec. 28, junior Sarah-Jo Lawrence has struggled. The forward, who averages 12.7 points per game, has posted just two double-digit performances in seven since torching the Bulldogs for 12 points and three steals in December. But this weekend, it semmed like Lawrence experienced a resurgence. Nearing the end […]
GW golf coach Scott Allen isn’t just worrying about his players’ golf strokes anymore; he’s worrying about their keystrokes as well. One of his players was drinking over the summer and posted photos of it onto the social networking site Facebook. Allen, who has kept tabs on his student-athletes online, asked the golfer to get […]
SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I.- The GW’s men’s basketball team was forced to practice in a cold gym Friday, the day before its 82-78 win over Rhode Island that gave the Colonials (15-4, 6-1 Atlantic-10) sole possession of first place in the Atlantic 10.

Mariam Grossman recently published a book “Unprotected,” but authored it with the pseudonym “Anonymous, M.D.” because she feared rejection among the mental health community. Now, Grossman speaks out unashamed of her […]
When The Hatchet began investigating the story of a student who was arrested for possession with the intent to distribute marijuana last week, background material was just a click away. The fact that Student Judicial Services and other campus offices use Facebook and other online sites to monitor student behavior should not be surprising, especially […]
GW professors urged legislatures nationwide to mandate vaccinations for a cancer-causing virus in public schools. Soon after the release of Gardasil, a vaccine for the human papilloma virus, the D.C. City Council and other state and local governments began introducing legislation mandating the drug. HPV is a virus that has been shown to cause certain […]
There’s an elephant in the Marvin Center and no one wants to do anything about it. It’s like that one last pimple that you just can’t seem to get rid of. For some it might be that one person not smiling in the family portrait. Use all the clich?s you want, but at the end […]
Second semester of senior year no longer connotes the same kind of lazy, laid-back attitude it was once known for at universities around the country. Sometime between when the job market sharpened its already-competitive edge and when many graduate schools began to rival Harvard University in selectivity, the death of “senioritis” occurred. Students can no […]
