Women’s soccer eliminated
The GW women’s soccer game against Saint Joseph’s Sunday was its last home game of the season and, as a result, Senior Day. The departing players did not disappoint, as two of them scored in the Colonials 3-1 win, but the win was not enough to prevent the team’s elimination from the Atlantic 10 tournament. […]
Frank Broomell: Meeting neighbors, one party at a time
The dorm room party is a great part of life at GW and most colleges nationwide. Everyone knows that they happen, and they can be a lot of fun. While they are usually on the smaller side, they allow friends to get together before going out or have some fun when there are no big […]
Knapp: Tuition is misleading
Communicating GW’s cost is one of the greatest challenges facing the institution, University President Steven Knapp said last week in an interview with The Hatchet.

Sean Redding: Time to confront GW’s price tag

Interfaith unity promoted after Horowitz speech
A few dozen students joined religious leaders Thursday night in the Marvin Center Amphitheatre to reflect on peace and racism in light of the tension caused by Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week. The interfaith prayer service, “Pray for Peace,” followed David Horowitz’s speech on Thursday night. It was the second gathering in a series of Peace Not […]
Letters to the Editor
Letting things slide doesn’t solve anything I just read “Regaining control over reactions,” in the opinions section of The Hatchet (Oct. 25, p. 4). I believe that everyone has a right to their opinion, but some things you cannot get over. I refuse to sit here and have racism in my community and not do […]
Clothes off, curtains up
They live among us. No, not witches or zombies, but the cast of GW’s production of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” Each October, Forbidden Planet Productions presents the show with a cult-like following, providing the most risqué and edgy display in student theater. It seems that this show, about a couple that wanders into the […]
