In “GW Anthro Students Monkey Around” (Sept. 10, p.B3), The Hatchet mispelled the title of a research fund. Lewis N. Cotlow Field Research Fund is the correct spelling. In “Taking Strides for the Troops” (Sept. 10, p.B1), The Hatchet erroneously stated the titles of GW College Republican members Peter Glessing and Chris Brooks. Glessing is […]
It didn’t take long for senior Gina Sebok to decide she was ready to get married. In fact, it only took her three dates. Now finishing up her last year at GW, Sebok does it as a married woman, following the customs of an observant Orthodox Jewish wife. Sebok met her husband, Raphael Kohn, at […]
Friends and roommates, juniors Andrew Breza and Ken Stauff share an interest in Second Amendment rights and range shooting. After a failed attempt two years ago to start the GW Gunslingers, the pair began organizing the Colonial Militia, a group concerned with gun rights advocacy and shooting for pleasure. “We chose (the name) Colonial Militia […]
While balancing a heavy course load, juggling an internship and staying in touch with friends, GW students are often missing a good haircut. But taking time to tame your hair doesn’t have to be a waste of time. At old-fashioned barbershops such as the Watergate Barbershop and Puglisi’s, both located close to campus, students have […]

Though this issue does not cross most GW students’ minds, for the 468 undergrads that live in Mitchell Hall or in a Strong Hall single, these bacterial infections are a reality. “Fungus grows in warm, moist areas,” said Susan Haney, associate […]
This week the U.S. Senate will have the opportunity to grant D.C. something it desperately needs: a vote in Congress. As evidenced by the license plates D.C., it is time for residents of this capital city to have a true form of representation on a national level. This right to representation has been a fundamental […]
