Sophomore Bradley Dlatt, a Hatchet columnist, argues that if GW can effectively meet the challenges of last week’s snow storm, then it can certainly meet other challenges.

In dealing with the unprecedented snowfall, however, the administration has broken this trend and performed outstandingly. The University did an excellent job of publicizing where students could look to find out if classes were canceled, and they made sure to make the decision at a reasonable hour, saving students from going to bed and wondering whether they must wake up for class. The University also provided listings of where students could go for entertainment and food, which was impressive, considering much of Foggy Bottom and the greater D.C. area had closed down for the week. Decisions were made in a quick, efficient manner, with the University doing its best to ensure that most on-campus facilities were able to operate during the storm.
