THE CHERRY TREE
2000
As one sees it...
as one looks at this book, I hope one is able to
understand the life of The George Washington
University. I hope one sees the heart of the
University, whether it is the diverse student
body or the academics. I hope you see the hard
work, the courage and glory, energy, passion
and motivation that flowed uncontrollably
into the book. I hope you see where GWcame
from where it is and where it is going in the
future. 2000 is a special year and this book
represents the beauty of the time. It's yours to
uncover and enjoy
as you see it.

As parents competed for parking spaces students climbed
stairs with furnishings in hand. C o m m u n i t y Facilitators and

Choosing to beat the rush and getfirstdibs on room

Welcome W e e k 99 started the school year with a bang. Festivities
kicked off with a showing of the hit movie Austin Powers,
International Man ofMystery and continued through the week.
C o m e d y Night in the Lisner Auditorium featured Harland
Williams, whose deadpan humor charmed a packed house. The
Marvin Center Ballroom showcased more than two hundred seventy
student organizations, giving students a feel for the m a n y
extracurricular offerings. Over lattes, cappuccinos and chocolately
desserts at XandO, a trendy DuPont Circle cafe, friends shared their
thoughts on the coming year. More adventurous students gave swing
dancing a try at J Street or charted their o w n course through the
Potomac River aboard the Odyssey cruise ship. The aroma of grilled
hamburgersfilledthe air as student groups such as Hillel and the
College Democrats sponsored barbecues.
Festivities ended on Sunday with a pool party at the Mount
Vernon Campus. Students took full advantage of the tennis courts
and soccerfield,basking in the summer sun. "It's just too bad there
are classes tomorrow. I could get used to this," said Rachel Field at the
pool's edge, dipping her toes in the water.

Fall Fest got the year rolling with a multitude of fun-filled
events. Organized by the Program Board, the annual
festival boasted a virtual reality tent, various sporting
activities and assorted eats.
T h e virtual reality activities held m a n y students in awe,
offering photo opportunities with President Clinton and
numerous celebrities. T h e boxing ring, featuring oversized
gloves and
the daunting
"King of the Mountain"
attraction, proved popular a m o n g students. T h e most
daring members of the student body tried their hand at
the velcro wall, hurling themsleves with reckless abandon.
Student organizations attended the event, cooking
hamburgers and passing out drinks. T o cope with the
ninety degree heat, students frequented the sno-cone
booth, tasting the m a n y featured flavors. Friends w h o
hadn't seen each other since the spring semester shared
stories of the summer. Students danced with George the
Mascot and enjoyed the sounds of the local bands. "It's
one of the best events I've been to," Pete Frost said. "Nice
and loud."

In with the
tensive summer renovation, the Marvin Center became
a hub of student life.
The new and improved Marvin Center was a different
place altogether, benefiting from a number of substantial
changes. O n the ground floor, Provisions Market replaced the
MC
Store, which was twice the size and offered students more
food choices. Jamba Juice was a big hit on campus with
nutritious shakes, as were both Freshens Yogurt and Pretzel
Time.
Around the corner, a state-of-the-art W R G W
radio
studio enabled students to make the most of the local airwaves.
The addition of a full service U.S. post office gave students the
opportunity to communicate by "snail mail". O n thefirstfloor,
Taco Bell and Chick-Fil-A became great places to grab a
satisfying meal between classes.
The friendlier feel of the fourth floor pleased student
groups and patrons and also boasted more office space. A floor
above, the newly christened Hippodrome offered students ways
to relax. Four flat-panel TV's and the Dine-A-Vision diner
made the Hippodrome a great place to kick back with friends
or cheer on the Colonials as they played on the road. Apple
imac computers made sure that students could stay in touch by
checking their e-mail or surfing the Internet.
"As for the renovations, they've done a lot for G W , "
noted Matt Kernkraut. "There's more of a community feel in
the Marvin Center, and that's what it's all about."

O n Sunday, September 26 over thirty thousand people
gathered on the National Mall to take part in the 13th
Annual A I D S W A L K Washington, the largest single-day
fundraiser in D.C. history. Overfivehundred G W students
participated in the event, giving the University the
distinction of "Gold Team."
The day started early and warm as students registered for
the walk at the Marvin Center. Breakfast was provided, as
well as T-shirts that were promptly put on by students. Just
before noon the G W contingency walked to the National
Mall to meet the thousands of other walkers, carrying a
banner that read " G W : W e Walk Together." Around two in
the afternoon the 10K walk began, and the G W fight song
was sung with pride. As the walk progressed renditions of
Backstreet Boys favorites were also heard, as was the tune
Lean on Me.
"The students from American and Howard were being
loud near DuPont Circle, but once we hit campus we started
singing thefightsong and it was all you could hear," one
G W walker commented. "People heard us singing and came
out of their dorms to sing along with us!"
The event ended back at the mall, as walkers rested and
enjoved free beverages and music.

T h e n e w trolley was unveiled
this year at the "All Aboard"
ribbon-cutting ceremony on
September 24. T h e sleek, n e w
trolley brought back memories
of an earlier time w h e n trolleys
were a prominent form of
transportation.
The
G W
Trolley turned m a n y heads
with features like a scrolling
digital
marquee,
conditioning
and
aira

high
performance diesel engine.
Painted in the University's
trademark buff and blue colors
and sporting the n e w logo, the
trolley replaced the Londonstyle double-decker bus that
had served the school since
1991. T h e trolley hoped to
continue
the
shuttling
tradition by taking prospective
students, their families and
dignitaries around campus and
through the city.
"Its fantastic, and the tour
groups love it," noted Steven

Getting
Around
Getting around the city was important for students this year,
helping them take advantage of all it had to offer. Whether
cramming into a packed Metro car on the way to a Capitals
game or hailing a cab after a movie at Union Station,
transportation was a significant aspect of daily life.
As always, the Metro was a cheap and convenient way to travel
between Virginia, Maryland and the District. The Foggy Bottom
Metro stop connected students to such popular areas as Adams
Morgan, Dupont Circle, Union Station and The Smithsonian for as little as
$1.10. "The Metro is the easiest way to get to work on Capitol
Hill," noted Adrienne Garnett. Metro buses also made out-ofthe-way areas more accessible, providing service into Maryland
and Virginia.
Cabs were vital for bar-hopping, trips to Dulles Airport, or
quick moves around the nation's capital. O n campus, G W
Ride's door-to-door service proved to be a valuable resource
when students were out late studying or when the weather
turned cold. Riding a bike or roller-blading were ways to stay
fit while still making it to classes and social engagements. The
Mount Vernon shuttle was invaluable for those w h o studied
and lived there, as well as students w h o ventured to A m e s
Dining Hall for a relaxed meal.
The luckiest students had cars of their own on campus,
which made trips to Shoppers Food Warehouse and Costco
possible. Parking facilities at the Mount Vernon Campus and
the Hall on Virginia Avenue gave students a place to store their
car. "It's so nice to have a car here," remarked Rosina Romano.
"I don't have to wait for a cab or the Metro, I can just go."

From October 15th to 17th, parents came to town to visit with their

Although replete with places to party, the city also offered
m u c h alternative entertainment. After the sun set and
classes let out, students had tough choices to make about
h o w to spend their leisure time.
2000 Penn was a great place to pass the night hours,
whether grabbing a delicious bowl of soup from Au Bon
Pain or snagging a late night movie rental from Tower
Video. Cone E. Island satiated students' late night sugar
cravings with its assortment of ice cream and frozen
yogurt flavors. Students of a more creative persuasion
sounded off at Cafe" Gelman, reciting poetry and prose
while nibbling on brownies and assorted eats.
The Courthouse and Union Station movie theatres
were the preferred places to enjoy the latest releases. For
bargain hunters, Georgetown's Foundry Theater offered
movie-goers a chance to catch previously released movie
for a mere pittance.
In Dupont Circle, Kramerbooks and Afterwords and
XandO provided the late-night caffeine and snacks to keep
the conversation going. The Recess comedy troupe sent
students into fits of laughter with their midnight
improvisations in Betts Theater. Finally, the Hippodrome,
complete with bowling alley, pool tables and arcade
games, was the convenient choice for students w h o didn't
want to stray from campus.

"Going out" is a time-honored tradition among college students,
and D.C. proved to be a perfect place to shirk academic work- at
least for a night. There were plenty of clubs and bars for students
to choose from, whether seeking out a friendly neighborhood
atmosphere or a more formal setting.
Lindy's was the ideal place to relax after the rigors of the school
week. In addition to featuring twenty-three types of hamburgers
sure to please any taste, the bar provided outdoor seating and
several types of preferred beers.
Students also had the option to dance the night away to top
forty hits and older favorites at Tequila Grill, another local favorite
bar. For those w h o never outgrew the music of the '80s, the
downtown multi-level club Polly Esthers was the destination of
choice. Georgetown's Garrett's had loyal supporters too, w h o
preferred a more personal, laid-back atmosphere to the craziness
of clubs like Decades and Zei.
"It's nice to know the bartender," Jennifer Smith noted,
surrounded by her friends at Tequila Grill. "The clubs are great
when you want to party, but sometimes you just want to relax."

Living in the dorms had its usual trademarks this year: walls
covered with posters, music blasting in the wee hours of the
morning, late study sessions in the hallways, pizza boxes piled
high, deep friendships and even romance. "It was an absolutely
amazing experience, something that I will never forget,"
remarked Jessica Elliot.
For thefirsttime students were without their 'parents' to
cook, clean and pick up after them. While struggling to keep
abreast of their studies, students had to familiarize themselves
with laundry rooms, dryer sheets and roommates with diverse
attitudes.
Incoming freshmen were given the chance to live in a
single occupancy room in Mitchell Hall, become one of over a
thousand Thurston Hall residents, participate in one of the
Community Living and Learning Programs in Lafayette Hall, or
become part of the all-female Mount Vernon Campus. There
were also opportunities to learn about the history of the
Watergate scandal at the new Hall on Virginia Avenue.
Returning students left behind the likes of Thurston for
residence halls such as N e w
Hall, J B K O
and Fulbright.
Upperclassmen dorms tended to have a more laid-back, "we've
been through this already" attitude. "They're not the social
center that Thurston was," remarked Jeremy Dutra, a senior,
about upperclassman dorms. "The CF's always try to organize
stuff, but it never really works. We've all got our own lives now."

The cons included separate cable and utility
bills. The
pros
involved
more
space,
freedom, and not having to sign in friends
when they came over to visit. This year many
students opted to leave behind memories of
Thurston, Mitchell, and other dorms to begin
anew, living in an apartment off-campus.
Some popular apartment buildings students
chose were The Statesman, The Letterman House,
The Claridge House, and The Savoy, which even
had a pool for its residents. M a n y students also
chose to live in one of the four buildings of
Columbia Plaza, admiring the city from their
balconies.
For bargain-hunters, off-campus living saved
some students quite a bit of money. Rent could be
split with
roommates, significantly
reducing
housing costs.
In exchange for plush carpeting and a more complete kitchen, students
had to clean for themselves and deal with phone and cable companies,
getting a taste of the "real world." Gone was the safety net that CF's offered
and the charming lack of privacy that dorms are famous for.
" W h e n you live off campus, you come and go as you please," said A d a m
Tenzer. "There's a lot more decision making to do when you don't live in a
dorm. But the freedom is great."

the dance floor got too crowded, many turned to the outside tent with
the cool autumn air and live music.
Students showed their creativity with costumes ranging from Fred
Flinstone to the ever-popular French maid. "I've never seen so many
cross-dressers in one place," said Victor Castro through his bloodsoaked werewolf mask.
O n Sunday evening Georgetown was the most popular place in town.
The sidewalks burgeoned with people and police officers made sure
things were kept under control. A few brave youths walked from
restaurant to restaurant and store to storefillingup their pillowcases
with candy. There was a lot offingerpointing and giggling as costumed
individuals mingled with normal shoppers and restaurant patrons.
"This is the closest thing we have to Mardi Gras," an anonymous
pedestrian remarked.

The mid-campus quad came to fruition early in the

Kogan Plaza was a perfect place to take a break between
classes, meet with friends, or read over The Hatchet. The
mid-campus quad also boasted an A u Bon Pain outdoor
facility, which provided snacks for students on the go.
"I think it's great, it promotes campus life," said Cat

Barton H . Kogan (B.B.A. '69, M.A.E.

The Plaza, designed to complement the
urban look of the campus, was made
possible by Kogan's generous gift of
$500,000 in honor of his family and
future generations.
Kogan Plaza quickly became a
big part of campus life. Oktoberfest
was held in thefiftyby ninety foot

O n atypicalday, dozens of students
lined the Plaza's benches, catching a
break between classes or chatting with

Whether traipsing to class or heading out for a night on the
town, students illustrated that this urban campus was among
the most stylish in the nation.
A n assortment of wears from The Gap, Structure,
Banana Republic and other Georgetown shops helped keep
guys looking their best. Ladies frequented Express, The
Limited, and Abercrombie &
Fitch to try out the latest
fashions.
As always, blue jeans were a popular choice among
students, though a trend surfaced for darker, cuffed jeans.
Drawstring cargo pants and carpenter jeans were easy choices
for a leisurely outfit. W h e n the weather was w a r m enough,
Capri pants were a c o m m o n sight. During the winter
months, wool sweaters and North Face bubble jackets helped
students stay warm, as well as Old Navy fleece vests and pea
coats.
Footwear choices proved to be as diverse as the student
body itself, ranging from N e w Balance sneakers to Skechers
and Steve Madden styles.
J Street was a melting pot of fashion tastes, showcasing
traditional gear as well as alternative threads. "The crazier,

Part of the college experience is paying for college - just ask any
student w h o has spent the summer bussing tables at a restaurant
or answering phones for a business. But spending money during
the year was a necessity. From working as an office assistant in the
residence halls to being employed at the Smith Center, students
had a chance to pick and choose tofinda job that suited them.
Students searched for jobs that would allow them to excel
at their studies while also allowing for leisure time. M a n y
students became CSA's, working for the University Police
Department signing guests into residence halls. Working at the
Marvin Center was also a popular way to ease the financial
burden that college posed.
Jobs outside the University were popular as well. More
adventurous students worked on the club scene, bartending or
mixing music. Other students served ice cream at Ben &Jeny's or
waited tables at TGI Friday's, always a popular gathering place on
campus.
M a n y turned to Georgetown shops like Abercrombie and
Fitch or Structure for employment, often making the most of
employee discounts. There were also students lucky enough to
find a job that was more in line with their career aspirations.
M a n y students found work at political consulting companies, on
Capitol Hill and at several institutes in the business district.
"I work on campus just because it's a little easier and I
don't have to worry about taking the Metro," said Tim Townley.
"The important thing is to get money to spend on whatever. I go
through money like water."

The University community commemorated its namesake's birthday with
a host of prominent speakers, a bonfire on the quad and assorted eats.
The celebration began at Kogan Plaza with rousing speeches from
University Marshall Jill Kasle and Mike Petron, President of the Order of
the Hippo. The keynote speaker was John Douglas Hall, "a visitor from
George Washington's era", decked out in colonial garb. Hall spoke of the
enduring legacy of George Washington as purveyor of knowledge.
"This is not a static institution, but a kinetic one," he said. "Here is
someone we can emulate and cherish... to improve ourselves."
A n eight-memberfifeand drum band led patrons to the quad, where a
bonfire was lit using a candle from Washington's Mount Vernon home. In

the quad. Jacket potatoes, mush peas, hot apple cider and smores were
served. Commemorative tri-cornered hats were given out as patrons

G W
hosted its seventh annual Bhangra Blowout at Constitution
Hall this year. Twelve universities competed in the event, showcasing
folk music and dance while raising money for scholarships and
charities such as the Asian Women's Self-Help Association.
Festivities began the afternoon before the competition as G W
hosted "Bhangra on the Quad". Performers from different schools
mingled and enjoyed authentic South Asian food and mendhi.
The show got underway as Mayor Anthony Williams proclaimed
"April 1, 2000 as 'Bhangra Blowout' in Washington, D.C."
G W
students Neil Badlani and Roger Kapoor hosted the event and
performed comedy skits in between the dance routines. The Lollipop
Kids, a popular South Asian dance troupe, performed as well.
G W faced tough competition from schools such as Georgetown,
Cornell and Yale. A
few of the more adventurous schools
incorporated funky dance beats with traditional bhangra for added
effect. Johns Hopkins University's all-male team capturedfirstplace
honors and the $2,500 grand prize.
The South Asian society hopes that proceeds from Bhangra
Blowout will eventually fund a full-tuition scholarship. After this
year, the Society will have donated $75,000 to the endowment fund.
"The most impressive thing about Bhangra Blowout is the way
the South Asian Society has had the foresight to create a scholarship
with the profits," said Neil Badlani. "It won't happen overnight, but
because the event is so popular and successful, it is possible this could
grow to a full scholarship in the future."

Spring Fling came complete with warm
weather, free food, the Bloodhound
Gang, laser tag and the annual ChalkIn.
Students filled the mid-campus quad
and H Street to enjoy the 80 plus degree
heat and de-stress. The sounds of many
different bandsfilledthe air, from the
rowdy Bloodhound Gang to Soul
Country, Nine Stories U p , Bicycle
Thieves
and
Waterstreet.
The
Bloodhound Gang hit the stage at 1
p.m. and delighted Spring Fling goers
with hits such as "Bad Touch" and "The
Root is on Fire". The band's on-stage
antics—band members started a congo
line and dared a student to drink a case
of tepid Dr. Pepper—added to the
show.
Students could dunk S A presidentelect David Burt or don oversized gloves
and pummel their closest friend in the
inflatable boxing ring. T h e "moonbounce" in front of the Academic
Center gave students the opportunity to
regress into childhood immaturity. The
15th Annual Chaulk-In also allowed
students the chance to unwind as thev
colored in H Street in front of the
library.
A n d because all that activity can stir
up the appetite, burgers, chips, sodas,
sno-cones, cotton candy and other
sweets were supplied.

While the soccer team didn't have a strong winning record, many
individual games were extremely close. The Colonials often lost by
only a single goal, including their final game against Temple
University. The main challenge the men faced was learning to play
together as a team. With so many new players, it was difficult for
them tofindtheir groove. Another difficulty was how far away many
of their games were played. The Colonials missed havi

* W h a t I love is the rush you get w h e n you
hit the cold water at dawn and the feeling you
get in the middle of a practice w h e n you don't
feel like you can go any further, but you keep
going anyway and at that point in time, you
decide that you are invincible. I love racing,
competing against others and the clock, in
order to go harder and faster then you have ever
gone before. There are no words to describe the
pride you feel when touch out a rival in a close
race and vour teammates are going wild on the
side of the pool.

T h e M e n s Baseball team had an extraordinary season marked by
broken records and exceptional honors bestowed on players.
T h e Colonials closed out their season with a three game
sweep of Duquesne, breaking G W s previous record for most
wins in a single season. T h e previous record was held by
thel998 team with a total of 33 wins.
Headed by fourth year head Coach T o m Walter, G W played
exceptionally in their final games against Duquesne. T h e
starting pitchers shut d o w n Duquesne as they went a combined
19 innings giving up only two earned runs. The Colonials
offense, led by Matt Walker and Mike Bas||it, pounded
Duquesne's pitching for 27 runs and 33 hits. Strong pitching
performances were seen from starters A d a m Belicic, Chris
Worth and Greg Conden.
Another victory claimed by the Colonials was tying fo
place with Virginia Tech in the A-10 West Division. The
Colonialsfinishedthe 2000 season 37-21.
«
M a n y players gained enormous recognition. A d a m Belicic,
Matt Walker, and Eric Mitchell were all selected by Major
League Baseball organizations in the 2000 First-Year Player
draft held June 5-7. In addition, Matt Walker was named the
most valuable player. Atlantic 10 Pitcher of the Year, freshman
Greg Conden, was named to the Freshman All-American team
by the Collegiate Baseball newspaper. Conden was also named
Rookie of the Year and to the All-Conference Team. This was

name that stuck. Originally called
the Columbiad in 1890, it was also
known as The C in 1904, the Mall in
1905, andfinallyThe Cherry Tree in
1908.
This year the 'Tree' journeyed to
record the life of the university. The
editorial board strived to cover every
aspect of G W , from academics to
sports to h o w students spent their
free time. To organize this enormous
project, the e-board members were
responsible for separate facets of the
book
such
as
Greek
life,
photography or copy. The challenge
came in bringing these unique
aspects of the publication onto the
same page.
Working on a tight deadline
schedule, the entire board met
biweekly to update each other and
make sure all relevant campus events
were being covered. However,
despite the huge amount work done
every day, the true magic happened
during deadline weekends. E-board
members and graphic designers
stayed through the night designing,
editing and reediting pages to be sent
to the publisher. Creative juices
flowed

empty Coke cans, pizza boxes,
napkins, and crumpled paper they
would wearily stumble out of the
office to go h o m e and sleep, only to
return the next day and start the next
deadline.
It was rewarding work, however,
and the e-board knew their efforts
had produced an extraordinary,
meaningful and attractive book.

In the spring semester the Hawaii Club offered free

philanthropy day, where both Rushees and Sisters
made gift bags for the children of Steven's school. The
paper bags were decorated and stuffed with school
supplies for the students. Greeks are often known for
their social functions and promises of sisterhood or
brotherhood. To continue with this tradition, Philanthropy
Day, implemented by the National Panhellenic Association, introduced a
different, more community-minded aspect of sorority life to potential new

Aside from the addition of Philanthropy Day, an

Wednesday mornings at 6 a.m. Greeks groggily filed
into Miriam's Kitchen to lend a helping hand.
On
Saturdays they fanned out to clean up neighborhoods,
picking up trash and beautifying the community.
The Greeks dedicated a great deal of time and energy
into a myriad of community service and philanthropic
projects, serving both the G W community and D.C.
metropolitan area.
Special projects included Jail & Bail, sponsored by
-XT
Alpha Delta Pi, which raised money for the Ronald
McDonald House Foundation. The Watermelon Fest,
organized by Lambda Chi Alpha and the Blood Drive
sponsored by Alpha Kappa Alpha were also successful
service projects.

I flee
Because I cannot fly
N o wings no salvation
Only rubber on asphalt
Tenderness pouring from metal mouths
Temporary trances
Fingers dancing on w o o d
Sweating in pain and pleasure
Empathy and consolation in desolation
Pieces of heaven
In this beguiling inferno
Smiling at suffering
Laughing at pain
Whispering empty promises
T o countless fields of open ears
He straightens himself into
the old w o o d e n bridge-chair
grinning proudly, proudly part
of m y y o u n g e r sister's big day.
M y g r a n d m a , his partner fifty-nine years
stands tall at his side,
her eyes glancing d o w n u p o n him.
to maintain his body heat,
he crosses his frail b o n y a r m s
across his sunken chest.
He covers the metal walking cane
to protect his pride,
while holding her p o c k e t b o o k securely.
His chair's positioned strategically
in front of our garage doors,
facing the pre-prom party
like a private investigator
lost in action.
Eyes fixed on the excitement,
careful not to miss a thing.
Lines of boy after girl pose
in front of the lush shrubbery
bordering the driveway.
The boys wrap their rented tuxedos
around their dates' evening g o w n s ,
draping the p a v e m e n t
in reds, blacks, silvers, even whites.

As the Jenny M c K e a n Moore writer-in-residence, D a n Barden
enjoyed teaching and living in Washington, D.C. While living at
the Lenthall House on the Foggy Bottom campus, Barden led
fiction workshops, using his skill as a writer to better his students
work.
The author ofJohn Wayne, A Novel used a hands-on approach
in the classroom in order to solicit the best possible work from
young writers. Although Barden was a favorite among students
for his vitality and sense of humor, he always demanded great
effort when it came to the creation of a short story.
" M y teaching style is like a Tony Robbin's infomercial. I try
to get into the meat of what's going on in m y students' stories.
Enthusiasm is big," Barden said.
"I like D.C. a lot. People are doing a lot of things that are
foreign to me. People aren't as cynical here as they are in N e w
York," said Barden, w h o earned his M.F.A. from Columbia
University. " M y wife and I love it here. If I got a contract to teach
here for thirty years, I'd sign it in a heartbeat."

Roberts' classes were run as open forums where students

Dr. Robert Ganz came to G W in 1964 to please
students with his eccentricity and passion for poetry and
the humanities. O n e of the elder statesmen of the faculty of
the English department, Ganz felt he helped students gain
a historical perspective about the world of ideas, something
often lost in the highly specialized world of academia.
According to students, Ganz established himself as a
"must-have" professor. H e was inspired by the pursuit of
learning and used anecdotes, humor and good-spirited
interrogation to reach his students.
"I've reached a lot of people, somewhat successfully I
think, and stressed the importance of history. History needs
to be more of a goal," Ganz said. "The modern m a n is
essentially Hamlet. I've always felt that we're all human,
and that the human predicament doesn't change that
much."

MICHAEL
professor of economics
Somehow Dr. Michael Bradley was one of the few economics
professors not only to get his students to show up for class at
eight a.m., but to make them laugh. W h o wouldn't crack a smile
(or ever forget) that certain graphs can't be connected to each
other because a pot of boiling acid lies between them. Bradlev
said he was able to make any situation humorous because he
would rather laugh at life than cry.
Students curiosity was one of Bradlev's favorite things about
being a professor. H e enjoved those w h o were skeptical and
challenged his statements. H e didn't always know he wanted to
teach, in tact he started his post-college career as a sheet metal
worker. However, he found his niche at GW r , one that
incorporated both research and teaching, and left him time to
shop during the day before the grocery store got crowded.

2000
After four years...
you did fall in love, at least once.
you did immerse yourself in academia.
you did become part of world events.
you did watch fireworks on the National Mall.
you did cheer the Colonials on to victory.
you did graduate in front of the White House.
you did wish it would never end.
you did find out that...
Something happened here.

- When you were a child
•
•
•
your mother told you that you could grow up to be a dancer, a dreamer, an
artist, a role model. You were promised the stars and given only your heart
to move towards them. You were told that one day, you too would know what
it was to truly live, to truly love and to truly be. And then one day, you
were no longer, a child and you understood your day had come.
(This is supposed to be a spot in your yearbook where my parents
congratulate me on making it through four hard years of college and wish
me luck in my life. And while I have found all of the ads this year
inspirational, I realize that my parents would be happier if I instead
took this chance to wish the special people in my life congratulations and
good luck.)
To the friends and sisters who have made the past four years more than
just drinking at Tequila or studying at J Street, I wish you all the love
and happiness the future brings. Y7e may not know now where the road
ahead will lead, but at least we move towards it strengthened by that
which we have overcome. Thank you for four good years.

This is how we experienced the year.
Doubtless, you have much more to add.
That is the beauty of having a variety

many different stages, writing our own
stories and playing our own parts.

It was never dull. Whether we were in New York, at the Cheesecake Factory or in our tiny office, there was always something going on. Debates, creati

thanks to my roommates for their support, because a home is more than just a place to sleep; my sisters for their love, because no picture or poem can exp

other. You make life beautiful and I'm ever thankful.

I entered Club Cherry Tree not knowing a soul and left with memories of 10 people who worked together in the most stressful situations but who were
able to leave it all behind to go out as friends. Our office was not just a place for schoolwork and the occasional work for the book, but a home

My journey as a member of The Cherry Tree has come to end. The adventure was a long one, 4 years, but it did not seem so. As I look back, it feels like only yesterday
the question, "Do you like my spread?" as a timid and shy graphic designer. Wow! How time flies...
The year 2000 is definitely my most memorable year. I achieved the top position in the organization and had the opportunity to work with outstanding and unique in

for the entire book. Her will to strive for precision and perfection will not be forgotten. Thank you for being my friend, confidant and letting me drag you into
adventure.
Abby as organizations Editor worked with 270 organizations in order to create a vibrant organizations section. Her support as my best friend, roommate and

met every expectation. Thank you for making me smile and putting up with my craziness. I'll never forget our nights out for "one drink. "
Tim, the copy editor, comedian and handyman, thank you for tackling the story. Without your hard work, the story could not have been expressed with
elegance and beauty. Thank you for livening up the office and I wish you the best of luck next year.
Beth, you embarked on the board as the sports editor, which was not your specialty, but you attacked the section with your enthusiasm for the creation of the
yearbook. Through Club Cherry Tree, we have started a friendship; thank you for the stories and laughter.
Michele, the Greeks editor, had the most difficult section to assemble and did it with heart and motivation. Thank you for bringing a new perspective to the
book and involving the more fraternities and sororities than ever before.
There are many others that have supported and aided me throughout this year.
Deborah, the advisor, attacked this year willing and ready to help me and the staff anyway possible. Her encouragement and dedication to the book enabled
us to achieve greatness. Thank you for all your support and enthusiasm. Joe Wenzl and Julie Jordan, the publishers, I also thank you for your help. It couldn't
have been done without your wisdom. Mike Sawchuk and Ed Thornton, the photographers, thank you for your diligence in developing the tons of film we sent
you. It is because ofyou we have a story to tell. Hima, thank you for believing in me and never letting me give up. Danette, my role model. Your strength and

support will not be forgotten, not to mention our dance parties. Steven and Jeremy, thank you for your constant support. Steve, your words of wisdom and
comfort enabled me to finish the 2000 book. Thank you for believing in me and pushing me to do my best. Mom
and Dad, thank you for your support,
encouragement, everlasting love and giving me the opportunity to attend GWU.
Thank you for giving me what I wanted and what I needed. I could not have
completed the book without you two, and hence, words cannot describe the amount of gratitude I feel. Thank you.
Thank you to everyone who has helped me succeed this year. I hope that you enjoyed the ride as much as I did. Thank you all!
