The Cavaliers (19-3, 11-1 ACC) controlled the afternoon from the start, winning the doubles point before three singles courts were brought home in straight sets, never giving the Cardinals (17-11, 5-7 ACC) a foothold in the match.
Many of us may have grown up constantly being warned to watch out for misinformation online, and being told which sources we could trust versus which ones we could not — “Wikipedia is not reliable” is burned into our brains from our lower school teachers. But the landscape of available sources has changed dramatically in our lifetimes, and there are serious challenges today with trusting information.
To celebrate the peak of springtime, we look back into the archives to explore the events and traditions that warmer weather inspired. Raging Easters celebrations ruled the spring, but volunteer events, film festivals and more blossomed on Grounds as the sunshine warmed students’ spirits. 1950sApril 10, 1959“First Polo Princess Will Be Selected At Brook Hill”By unlisted authorAt the 1959 polo match between Virginia, Yale and Cambridge of England, a Polo Princess was to be crowned. Judges were to “mingle inconspicuously" with onlookers to survey candidates, and the “most attractive young lady” would be awarded. The Polo Princess selected presented the trophy to the match winner, was awarded invites to all University polo matches, an interview on the local radio station and a yearlong subscription to The University of Virginia Magazine. 1960sApril 12, 1966“Urban Folk Duo Sings For Weekend Concert” By unlisted authorUniversity Hall, now replaced by John Paul Jones Arena, welcomed renowned urban folk duo Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel to perform hits including “Sounds of Silence.” The concert was featured as a part of the Easter weekend’s festivities and tickets were sold at Newcomb Hall and Mincer’s for $2.75. 1970sApril 10, 1978“If Easters is culture, Virginia is in culture shock”By Nathan HirschenfangPhotos by Bill Goffe, Maria Stenzel and Julie TurpinEasters 1978 consisted of “Naked Marauders" streaking the lawn, a McCormick Road block party, mud slides and more. Several partiers did not make it home, spending the night on Madison Bowl and as well as the Lawn with Thomas Jefferson and George Washington’s statues that got turned 180 degrees at some point throughout the weekend. 1980sApril 6, 1981“Is Easters still the best party in the country?” By Jerry Ferguson Among the season’s most anticipated occasions, Easters is defined by its exuberant crowds and unrestrained revelry on Madison Bowl. Student Jerry Ferguson detailed the annual party’s long history and how the influx of outsiders over the years has resulted in safety precautions enacted by the University’s administration. Amidst the changes, many students were left wondering whether the self-proclaimed title of “best party in the country” still rings true. 1990sApril 10, 1992“Students campaign against hunger”By Jen CornellPhotos by Russell Efird500 students across Grounds united to volunteer for the annual Hunger Clean-Up sponsored by Students Against Hunger and Homelessness. In addition to the clean up, students also participated in other activities to support the Charlottesville community, like providing childcare, repairing public spaces, washing buses and more. Along with helping the community, the students hoped to build a long lasting relationship with the greater Charlottesville population. 2000sApril 12, 2007“The Candy Shop”By Will Williams Photo by unlisted author The Salmagundi Film Festival is an annual celebration of student filmmaking, dedicated to spotlighting the creative labor poured into creating the productions. The festival’s theme, “The Candy Shop,” spoke to the value of diversity and the opportunity for the community to sample a wide array of works. The festival included three main events — the longs program, the shorts program and a seminar by director and University Professor Hugh Wilson Jr. — followed by an awards ceremony and gala.
Nothing about the promotional rollout for “The Drama” is out of the ordinary. A Google search of the film would identify it as a romance, and a scroll on social media would point towards a comedy-drama centered around the impending nuptials of Robert Pattinson’s Charlie and Zendaya’s Emma. Even the trailer is innocuous, a lilting score dancing over what appears to be by all accounts a charming love story — a deliberately sanitized image that withholds the disturbing twist at the core of the film’s conflict.
More than 60,000 country music enthusiasts gathered at Scott Stadium Saturday evening for one of Charlottesville’s largest concerts ever. Country superstar Luke Combs' latest album “The Way I Am” reached number two on the Billboard 200 list, attesting to the artist's popularity. The North Carolina native’s songs blend southern spirit with a distinctive heartfelt croon that helped him quickly rise to fame nearly a decade ago.
It’s such an old story the team’s captains have elected to not talk about it. The media has grown weary of asking about it. To everyone in Charlottesville, it has been baked into the bones so much that it is no longer worthy of comment.
As the clock drained in the final seconds of Virginia’s victory against Duke, senior midfielder Joey Terenzi chucked the ball into the sky, watching its arc as the Cavaliers shattered a ceiling of 22 years winless against the Blue Devils in the regular season.
Nearing the end of the spring semester, students are finally able to feel the warmer weather after months of snowball fights, puffer coats and icy roads. With the spring equinox March 20 and summer officially starting in June, March, April and May are a triad of spring and, by default, April is the “middle child” of the three.
The School of Nursing is changing its curriculum beginning this August, according to Sara Hallowell, associate dean of undergraduate nursing programs. Required clinical hours — time spent in real healthcare settings — are set to decrease from 700 to 658, a 6 percent decrease. Simulation lab hours — time spent in a controlled environment where healthcare situations are simulated — are set to increase from 84 to 105, or a 25 percent increase. The change will impact current second-year Nursing students, first-year Nursing students and future classes.

With the highly-anticipated Luke Combs concert set to take place at Scott Stadium, the energy in Charlottesville was palpable. To avoid crushing traffic and to let fans make it to the performance, the rubber match between No. 10 Virginia and No. 7 Florida State was moved to an early 11 a.m. start time.
Fourth-year College student Allison McVey completed her term as University Judiciary Committee chair Wednesday after serving in the position since April 1, 2025. During her term, 31 cases were adjudicated, and she also worked to establish the policies and projects subcommittee and engage alumni.
In the 50th women’s lacrosse meeting between No. 22 Virginia and No. 2 North Carolina Friday, Virginia (6-8, 4-4 ACC) knew the cards were stacked against them — for over half a century, the Cavaliers had been on the bottom end of a 35-14 record.
The University says recent federal court rulings striking down a major piece of the Trump administration’s effort against diversity, equity and inclusion do not change its current course. The Board of Visitors’ March 7, 2025 resolution dissolving the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Community Partnerships and directing a broader compliance review of University programs remains in place and continues to guide the University’s DEI policies.
The series finale gave Virginia one last chance to salvage a win, and with both lineups having seen the opposing pitchers multiple times over the weekend, an offensive battle felt inevitable.
Upon the election of Gov. Abigail Spanberger, The Cavalier Daily’s previous Editorial Board argued that Virginia’s leading politicians should prioritize institutional stability in making decisions about Virginia universities. Now, five months later, it appears as though there is the potential for great progress towards this goal of fair and shared stability — and Senate Bill 494 in the Virginia General Assembly is this path forward. The manifold benefits of this bill are clear — reduced political polarization, clearer confirmation processes for Boards of Visitors nominees and strengthened stakeholder access to pertinent deliberations. Yet, while this essential ream of approved law heads towards Spanberger’s desk, it is worth expounding on the greatest promise of this bill — the promise of clear, codified stakeholder governance across Virginia’s universities.
The No. 4 Virginia men’s tennis team picked up a 4-1 win over No. 17 Notre Dame on Friday afternoon at the Boar’s Head Sports Club, closing out the second to last home match of the regular season with a composed performance against one of the ACC’s toughest opponents.
Following up the incredibly successful “Super Mario Bros. Movie” from 2023, Nintendo and Illumination teamed up again to deliver what was forecasted to be one of the highest grossing movies of the year. Although flawed, the first film had enough in the way of references and fan service to satiate fans and just enough substance to receive mixed reviews from critics.
