As I read the editorial in The Hatchet Nov. 17 regarding the public hearing for reaccreditation process, I was pleased that the editors encouraged people to come out and “have their voices heard” about the performance of the University Police Department (“Concerns about UPD? Be involved in the process,” p. 4). While the reaccreditation process […]
At first glance, professor Merve Kavakci doesn’t appear to have much in common with the Pilgrims. She is a Turkish Muslim, not an English Puritan.

Correction appended “Whose house? GDub!” This chant electrified students on Saturday night, not at a basketball game filled with buff and blue, but instead in a crowd of orange, purple and green sequins at Raas Chaos, an Indian dance competition.

The shared vision, distributed over the summer, included a wide range of goals such as the elimination of mandatory J […]
AUBURN, Ala. – The story began encouragingly, its characters bore different identities, but the ending remained the same. The Colonials paid a visit to a team from one of college basketball’s power conferences and left with a tally in the loss column for their troubles. Saturday’s 83-71 lose-from-ahead defeat at Auburn was not last December’s […]
GW dropout Joel Levinson has dressed up as a penguin to pose with the birds of Antarctica and belted out lyrics declaring his love for glue. He knows what it takes to grab someone’s attention. That skill, combined with a total lack of inhibition, helped him launch a homemade commercial writing career. The 28-year-old makes […]
The dream of winning the Atlantic 10 tournament this year is over for the GW volleyball team.
