On the 12th day of finals, The Cav Daily gave to me...

12 years representing (before Virgil Goode lost to Tom Perriello)

11 years a-chairing (before University professor Julian Bond announced he will step down as chair of the NAACP)

10 Republicans electing (before Virginia voted for a Democratic candidate for president for the first time since 1964)

9 Olympians competing  (current and former Cavalier took how several medals in Beijing)

8 Lawns a-lighting (this time, using energy-efficient bulbs)

7 Society a-giving (14,777.77 to a student-proposed project)

6 percent a-voting (in a fall student referendum)

5 football wins!

4 Unity initiatives (FreeRide, Lighten’ Up, Don’t Sign It!, and a request for free parking at the Central Grounds garage)

3 more years of Al Groh

2 shipboard trials (prompting the Honor Committee to amend its Semester at Sea policies)

... and a flaming manhole on the front page. (See yesterday’s Cavalier Daily)
