We are confident that these candidates will advance innovative solutions to the problems UJC faces.

As thousands packed in front of the Rotunda for the treasured Lighting of the Lawn ceremony, a festive tune began to permeate students’ chatter. It was Kelly Clarkson’s “Underneath the Tree,” but instead of brass or voice driving the song, it was a string quartet — a four-person ensemble consisting of two violinists, a violist and a cellist. Playfully bouncing their bows and sliding along their strings, the Radio Music Society was right at home, employing instruments found in the classical genre to reinterpret a contemporary pop song.

Virginia men’s basketball cannot shoot free throws. This season, the Cavaliers are making 64.3 percent of their shots at the free throw line — that statistic ranks 342nd out of 351 Division I basketball teams and last in the ACC by over four percent. Pair this with Virginia’s notably slow pace of play and Coach Tony Bennett’s team makes only 9 free throws per game, a number lower than all but two teams nationwide — Hofstra and Army West Point.

The Charlottesville City Council unanimously passed a new zoning ordinance at a meeting last December that will allow for greater diversity in types of housing as well as require the inclusion of affordable housing in some future developments.

Virginia men’s lacrosse made the in-state trip to Robins Stadium to take on Richmond in its second game of the season Saturday.

The day was highlighted by graduate student attacker Payton Cormier breaking Virginia’s career goals record, previously held by Doug Knight, who tallied 165 goals in 60 games.

No. 14 Virginia baseball kicked off its season this weekend at Disharoon Park, hosting Hofstra for a three-game set. Expectations are high for the Cavaliers (3-0, 0-0 ACC) this year following a trip to Omaha, Neb. last season, despite the departure of a few key pieces by way of graduation and the MLB Draft. Virginia swept the series with a dominant offensive showing, scoring 42 total runs — half of which came in Saturday’s 21-3 crushing of the Pride (0-3, 0-0 CAA). However, the Cavaliers’ pitching staff stumbled out of the gate, keeping Friday and Sunday’s contest close to the final outs.

Wake Forest nearly stole a win from Virginia in Charlottesville Saturday, but the game-tying shot from junior guard Cameron Hildreth was missed at the buzzer to seal a 49-47 Virginia victory. The Cavaliers (20-6, 11-4 ACC) led for the majority of the second half, but a ghastly 1-11 performance from the free-throw line nearly prevented the win against the Demon Deacons (16-9, 8-6 ACC).

Though some may look at the long list of 46 presidents and see a dry, formulaic history of policy, controversy and occasional scandal, there are many interesting facts about these nuanced figures that probably weren't shared in your history class.

After a week-long break, Virginia women’s basketball returned home to take on Syracuse Sunday in an ACC clash. The Cavaliers (12-13, 4-10 ACC) were hoping for their third straight win after impressive road victories against Boston College and Wake Forest, but the No. 19 Orange (22-4, 12-3 ACC) — who entered the matchup just one game behind Virginia Tech for first-place in the ACC — were too much for the hosts as they claimed an 85-79 victory.
