YOU WILL not get your first choice or your second choice class to take Tuesday/Thursday at ten. To be honest, you probably won't get your third or fourth either.
The Lawn Selection Committee notified47 students chosen for a Lawn room last Friday.
What would you sacrifice for a cause you believe in? You may think you're passionate about it, but how far are you willing to go to prove it? Would you join an organization? Protest? Encircle your body with chains and attempt to lock yourself to a banister in the Rotunda?
I've got one question that I doubt you've pondered: HOOS ignorant? Just when we were ready to complacently forget the racial history of this University and laugh at the thought of racially motivated incidents, one happens. Have you heard about it? No? The fact that acts of malice and ignorance go heavily unnoticed in our community is almost as large a problem as the acts themselves.
While walking along the worn-brick paths of the Lawn, you may find yourself glancing down at a cute, fuzzy little critter gazing up at you quizzically, or a scruffy, devilish varmint, startling you with its penetrating gaze. Which perspective you take depends upon your sentiment toward one of the most noticeable and polemic creatures on Grounds -- the squirrel. These creatures have existed alongside students of the University for years, inciting enjoyment, apathy and aversion.

AFTER the past few "Good Guys," one might actually believe that Gus Blagden, the University student for whom the award was named after in the 1960s, was a strong and faithful Christian black man.

After four years, we would be remiss in not recognizing the fact that this honor, and these students, who champion struggles for equal rights, equal education and use the Bible as their weapon of choice is significant.
Third-year College student Amey Adkins said she never expected to be one of the students selected to live on the Lawn, much less in one of the seven endowed rooms.
Whether viewed as a symbol of the value placed on University traditions or the source of long-standing controversy, endowed Lawn rooms remain an integral part of the Lawn selection process.
We're on the verge. The verge of Charlottesville blooming into gorgeous spring radiance. That means warmth, skirts, sandals, skipping class, picnics on the Lawn and general hippie frolicking.

On March 20, the day after the United States began bombing Iraq, an estimated 200 University students left their classes at 2 p.m. and walked to the Lawn. The intent, according to Anti-War Coalition Co-Founder Jessica Forman, who helped organize the event, was to prevent students from being complacent about the conflict.
Two years and many memories ago, a group of girls made a promise. The third hall of Metcalf was the place and future housing plans were on the agenda.
If living on the Lawn is the ultimate honor at Mr. Jefferson's University, then living on the Range should be its logical counterpart, some graduate students say. But, it's not.
The University has a history of political activism, and in the coming weeks students could see this activism in action.
Responding to a view held by many University students that certain organizations are favored in the Lawn selection process, a committee of student leaders and University officials modified the way Lawn residents are chosen.
