The Student Association can only thrive when the executive vice president balances the work of the student senate and the vision of the executive. This requires adaptability and the ability to command respect from other student leaders in an effort to reach a common goal. This page believes that Kyle Boyer exemplifies these traits and […]

In this year’s contest for Student Association president, an unimpressive field of candidates has left this page unable to endorse a single candidate in good conscience. All of the candidates have some strengths but also considerable weaknesses that interfered with a clear-cut decision. None have significant accomplishments in the SA or other areas of student […]

Ryder Haske/assistant photo editor Maggie Gomez-Madonia (left) and Ruth Hollinger (right) act in a play adapted from the Greek myth of Philomena. Though their characters are forced to deal with rape, Madonia and Hollinger’s characters find peace by the play’s conclusion when they become transformed into a nightingale and a swallow, respectively.

The Buff jerseys may look silly but the GW men’s basketball team might want to wear them more often. For the second straight game, the Colonials wore the gold garb and for the second straight game, they won. This time, it was a 59-53 victory over Richmond in front of 3,129 at Smith Center that […]

Almost every game finds seniors Kim Beck, Sarah-Jo Lawrence and Whitney Allen and juniors Antelia Parrish and Jessica Adair on the court […]

With the Student Association’s elections closing in on us, I want to remind everyone, specifically the four presidential candidates, what a good SA looks like. I, for one have not seen one in my time at GW. It seemed to me that my freshman, sophomore and junior years looked more like scandal-ridden U.S. politics than […]

In the photo that accompanied “Election Energy” (Feb. 21, A1), The Hatchet erroneously reported that Avram Ramage, the photo’s subject, was hanging posters for Kyle Boyer. He was hanging posters for Michael Rabinowitz.
