No. 14 Virginia men’s basketball has crossed a critical threshold. Many of the Cavaliers’ (16-2, 5-1 ACC) marquee ACC matchups come on the road, a fact that all avid followers of Virginia basketball were acutely aware of entering the season considering how difficult it can be to win in raucous road environments.

If asked to describe an undergraduate student here on Grounds, most people would give a description representative of someone between the ages of 18 and 22. And though only 0.3 percent of the University’s undergraduate population is over the age of 25, there is no age cap for attending the University. Despite this disparity, non-traditionally aged students bring unique experiences and insight to the student body, garnered from their adult lives prior to coming to the University.

In a statement sent to the University Board of Visitors Jan. 15, 201 faculty members condemned the Board for its actions over the course of the search process for the University’s 10th president, beginning with former University President Jim Ryan’s resignation in June. The letter stated that the Board failed to “protect the University from outside interference,” was improperly involved with Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), engaged in opaque negotiations with the Justice Department and rushed the presidential search. The statement also calls for the Board to be held accountable for these actions, potentially through litigative measures, and for University President Scott Beardsley’s appointment to be rescinded.

There are currently over 145,000 “English Learner” students in Virginia. This represents public school students who speak English as their second language. Concerningly, Virginia ranks sixth worst in the country in terms of its EL student high-school graduation rate. Clearly, from these statistics, a significant proportion of EL students in Virginia public schools are educationally underserved and comparatively struggle to develop English proficiency — a crucial skill that has been demonstrated to improve employment access and long-term financial stability in the United States.
After a nearly eight-year hiatus, A$AP Rocky’s LP “Don’t Be Dumb” dropped Jan. 16 at midnight. The fourth studio record by the American rapper, producer and fashion designer was highly anticipated, setting pre-save records for a hip-hop album with over 1 million saves on Spotify. Unexpected brand deals, talks of Brent Fayiaz and Gorillaz features and an album cover designed by cinema legend Tim Burton set expectations high for the rapper’s return.
This week’s From the Archives looks at strange, provocative or misleading headlines published in The Cavalier Daily over the years. From rock ’n’ roll pranks in the 1950s to passionate op-eds in the 1960s, freakish music reviews in the 70s to tax cuts for bigotry in the 80s and nostalgia for the Cold War in the 90s to defense of affirmative action in the 2000s, the articles show how much work a headline can do.1950sJan. 10, 1957“Post Office Sweats It Out As ‘Cool Cat’ Letters Continue”By no authorTwo University students, Drew McDonald and Jim Brooks, were plagued by hundreds of letters following the publication of two letters in “Dig Magazine”, a “Rock ’n’ Roll” volume. The published letters were thought to be written by McDonald’s roommate, who denied writing them, but each letter begged for “cool chicks” to write to the University students. Brooks received 367 letters and McDonald received 426, both from almost every state, although McDonald also received a “thoughtful” photograph of a Californian girl in a semi-nude condition.1960sJan. 10, 1964“How To Lose Greatness”By no authorWhile it was originally published in the Richmond News Leader, the editorial board of The Cavalier Daily fully endorses this passionate response to Senator William F. Stone’s disparaging remarks about out-of-state students. The title, however, implies instructions on how to fumble glory, possibly the world’s least popular self-help manual.1970sJan. 20, 1977“A portrait of the artist as a young freak”By Scott MilburnPhotos by unknown Milburn begins with a summary of Frank Zappa’s musical career, covering critiques ranging from "preeminent rock genius” to “disgusting pervert.” He examines Zappa’s most recent album, “Zoot Allures”, with both of these views in mind, complimenting Zappa’s lyricism and wide-ranging skill, while acknowledging the odd style choices that earned him the “freak” label.1980sJan. 21, 1982“Reagan plan subsidizes racism”By Michael LesherPhotos by Sean MahanLesher attacks former President Ronald Reagan’s social and economic policies, lambasting his cutbacks on government programs supporting the poor while granting tax-exempt status to segregated universities. While Reagan’s defenders argue that these policies will reduce federal regulations, Lesher believes that they fulfill Americans’ fears about the administration while incentivising racism.1990sJan. 22, 1996“How I learned to stop worrying and love Cold War”By Rawley VaughanPhotos by Kendra DunnVaughan argues that the terror and nuclear panic of the Cold War was preferable to the uncertainty following its end, as the structure of the largely-combatless conflict meant citizens could at least trust where the threats were coming from. While former Soviet leaders Nikita Kruschev and Leonid Breshnev were terrifying, Vaughan preferred a consolidated, obvious threat to the shadowy nuclear actors of the “post-Cold War” world.2000sJan. 19, 2006“Re-segregating our nation’s universities”By Rajesh JainPhotos by Joe ShaverWhile the title suggests a dramatic regression, the article actually focuses on an anti-affirmative action bill in Michigan, which Jain cautions Virginia to avoid. He argues that affirmative action allows more diverse voices in universities and that without it, the University would suffer a loss of intellectual stimulation, and promising voices would be denied. Jain sees a loss of affirmative action as a loss of minorities and a return to the segregated universities of days past.
A hush lies over Scott Stadium as Virginia enters its first full month without a history-making football team bringing energy to the University since July. But spring in Charlottesville does not mean Virginia Athletics is slowing down. In fact, it picks up, as many winter sports are already in full swing, and spring sports — some of Virginia’s most successful — approach the season’s beginning.
