Virginia women’s lacrosse faced Pittsburgh in an ACC clash on a bright and sunny Saturday afternoon in Klöckner Stadium. Coming off the heels of a tightly contested game against No. 8 Notre Dame, the No. 10 Cavaliers (8-1, 3-1 ACC) were looking to continue their strong ACC campaign in their clash with the Panthers (2-7, 0-4 ACC). The hosts did just that, as the attacking power of Virginia was enough to sufficiently overwhelm Pittsburgh by the third period, with the Cavaliers taking home a 19-10 conference win.

After the murder of Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr. and D’Sean Perry last year, Governor Glenn Youngkin made a visit to Grounds, honoring the lives lost in a powerful demonstration of empathy. As students who lived through this violence, we wondered what would be done to prevent such tragedies in the future. Now, however, Youngkin seems to have forgotten the suffering of this community and the empathy he expressed for it — he recently refused to sign two bills promoting gun safety. And in doing so, he has brutally reminded us that nice words are no substitute for tangible action. This Editorial Board, simply put, is disappointed about Youngkin’s dangerous decision to block critical steps towards ending the epidemic of senseless gun violence in Virginia.

The Cavaliers took on two ACC foes — Boston College and NC State — Thursday and Friday respectively in the conference tournament. While both matchups were sent into overtime, Virginia was only able to capitalize on the extra minutes once, emerging victorious against the Golden Eagles but coming up short against the Wolfpack. Marked by embarrassing levels of free-throw shooting, one win and one loss in Washington, D.C. placed Virginia in a precarious position heading into Selection Sunday.

As the spring semester ramps up and our March days become 70 degrees, we are reminded of the looming terror that is the future. After a close examination of LinkedIn — and a mental breakdown from comparing yourself to recent Harvard graduates — it can feel like everyone is succeeding but you.

In the hallowed halls of academia lies a sacred sanctuary once cursed with a name students feared to utter. Now, after battles between beneficiaries, the spell has lifted and the educational establishment has been blessed with the name Shannon Library. These hallowed halls are whispered about in reverent tones and hailed as a bastion of knowledge, a haven for learning and, for some, a refuge from the cacophony of life on Grounds. But what happens when the grandeur promised by legends falls short? What happens when high expectations crash to displeasure and dissatisfaction? Join me, fellow traveler, on a whimsical odyssey through the Shannon Library, where anticipation turns to befuddlement, as we walk through the disappointment of the newly renovated and renamed University library.

Among a plethora of student bands, from fraternity bands to cover bands, one made entirely of female musicians sets itself apart from the rest, Fair Verona. Fairly new to the Charlottesville band scene, the only all-girl band at the University — according to Emma Gorman, drummer and fourth-year College student — consists of four members who are united by their love of indie pop/rock, performing and the University’s music scene.

Several members of student political organization University Democrats requested their dues be returned after the group signed on to the U.Va. Apartheid Divest referendum, which advocates for the University to divest from companies “engaging in or profiting from the State of Israel’s apartheid regime and acute violence against Palestinians.” According to these members, the Contracted Independent Organization violated its own constitution by making the decision to take a public stance on the referendum without a general body vote. The organization’s executive board said that while dues cannot be returned, members are free to leave the group as they please.

This year, the Lawn Selection Committee received 177 applications from rising fourth-years hoping to live on the Lawn — granting Lawn rooms to 47 individuals. While 177 applications is an increase from last year, this relatively low number of interested students fits into a larger trend — application numbers have failed to surpass 230 since before the COVID-19 pandemic. In short, there seems to be decreased interest in living in Thomas Jefferson’s Academical Village, the center of our university’s history and community. While the University intends for living on the Lawn to be a sort of reward for excellent service and a privilege obtained by impactful students, the structures surrounding this housing option have increasingly conspired to decrease the privilege of becoming a Lawnie.
