No. 10 Virginia’s five-game winning streak came to an untimely halt in this weekend’s series against No. 23 NC State. The Cavaliers (37-14, 15-12 ACC) bookended the weekend with costly losses to the Wolfpack (29-19, 15-11 ACC) in which the bullpen underperformed — a recurring issue this season. Though individual performances shone and Virginia picked up a meaningful win Saturday afternoon, the team’s postseason outlook remains in flux.

In the days after police forcibly cleared a pro-Palestine encampment near the University Chapel, a last-minute edit to a list of guidelines — from the Office of Environmental Health and Safety — related to the use of tents on Grounds has been the subject of questions and debate. According to University administrators, a document on the office’s website outlining fire safety regulations for tents contained an inaccurate clause that exempted recreational tents from permit requirements. University officials said the document was updated for accuracy, as official University policy requires all tents to receive permits prior to their use on Grounds. Administrators said the encampment violated this policy.

May 4, 2020 was like any other spring day — sunny with a breeze, just warm enough to be outdoors, with birds chirping and flowers blooming. But for me, it was extraordinary. It was the day I got into the University of Virginia. Of course, this was months after my high school peers — and those around the nation — had committed to institutions that would carry them through their next four years. I too had already committed to my only college acceptance, failing to realize how much I wanted to attend the University until after I received my deferral and my position on the waitlist.

Sweaty palms. Rigid, fighting breaths. Tapping fingers. Pretending to look at my phone which, obviously, had no notifications. Yes, I remember this all quite well — a personal nightmare. It was my first official staff meeting as one of the newly elected Arts and Entertainment Editors for The Cavalier Daily. I could not believe I was there. Neither could my body, as my profuse fidgeting and waves of nerves continued through the presentation.

In contrast to what the April 25 editorial implied, it is critical to hold individuals who engage in hazing accountable for their actions. This is an essential step in preventing future hazing activities. Moreover, the University is actually doing a good job with education and has a great hazing prevention resource in the Gordie Center.

No. 6 Virginia women’s tennis hosted the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament over the weekend, competing against Long Island University and No. 41 Princeton. Although it is currently ranked sixth nationally, Virginia is the 5-seed in the tournament.

The victories marked the continuation of a 21-match streak of home wins. The Cavaliers will now look to extend that record to 22 at home against No. 41 Vanderbilt Saturday.

Two days later, Bennett landed former Duke freshman forward TJ Power and former San Diego State sophomore forward Elijah Saunders within hours of each other, while former Vanderbilt freshman forward Carter Lang followed close behind Tuesday.

Saturday, the area outside the University chapel was invaded by police who were tasked with clearing the encampment for Gaza which was deemed to be an “unlawful assembly.” There were many heavily armed police officers. There was pepper spray which was wielded against demonstrators. There were riot police who marched in tandem, first against people within the Gaza encampment and then against a crowd of onlookers. It was a chaotic and deeply disturbing scene. But this violent chaos was not inevitable, nor was it started by student protesters. Rather, it arose as a direct result of University and police action.

At 1 a.m. after a late-night exam, I ventured to The White Spot with my date for the first time after hearing about the fan-favorite diner many times prior. As we walked into the home of the famous $7.00 Gus Burger, we were delighted to find comforting grilled classics and a bustling atmosphere. The White Spot is a timeless diner for Charlottesville residents and students looking for a greasy spoon infused with University spirit.
