An offer that would change the nature of higher education has been sent to our University, an offer gift-wrapped with promises for our institution’s betterment. This Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education, received by our University and eight others from President Donald Trump’s administration, offers preferential treatment for federal funding in exchange for a nine-page list of institutional requirements. These demands range from more general concepts like encouraging civil discourse, to more absurd requirements like mandating that the University define gender in biological terms or screen all international students for anti-American sentiments.
As the weather gets colder and fall comes into full swing, there is nothing better than curling up with a hair-raising horror novel. However, while many shy away from the genre due to its perceived gruesomeness, horror is multifaceted.

Fighting the Sunday scaries and craving a peaceful end to the weekend, I recently decided to treat myself to a meal out on a quiet weekend night. Looking for a cool spot within walking distance of my apartment complex on Roosevelt Brown Boulevard, I excitedly made a dinner reservation for Maya. This restaurant offers — as their website describes it — “elevated Southern comfort food and seasonal ingredients in a comfortable intimate atmosphere,” so I went to put that claim to the test.
ACEing Autism, a national non-profit organization, recently made its debut in Charlottesville at the Boar’s Head Resort, offering weekly tennis lessons for children on the autism spectrum from ages 5 to 18.

Locally owned and operated since 2002, the market is a Charlottesville icon that combines neighborhood charm with a deliciously curated selection of food — from pre-made dips to fresh soups and salads.

For many students at the University, certain liquids don’t just fill plastic pitchers at Trin or red solo cups during a pre-game. For those who indulge, they carry traditions, mark rites of passage and signal what kind of night — or afternoon, let's be real — lies ahead. From the chaos of a Trashcan to the tart simplicity of a Bold Rock, these drinks not only frame what students sip, but how they gather. So, see below for the sentimental staples that characterize our days at the University.

Sleek bowling lanes and electronic dart boards set the backdrop, while bold cocktails beckon from the nearby bar. Yet above all, it’s the made-from-scratch menu that makes the night, with delectable plates bringing everyone to the table.
Editor’s Note: This page will contain the Mini Crosswords for the week of October 6 and will update daily with that day’s puzzle.
All University students are required to live on Grounds in their first year, but they have many on and off-Grounds housing options going into their second year. Students face immense pressure to decide on housing as soon as possible, and this high demand has strained the capacities of both on and off-Grounds accommodations. Lauren Seeliger and Brandon Kile, two third-year Cavalier Daily News writers, discuss the impact of the student housing frenzy on both University students and the Charlottesville community.
This is not what they came to see. The 2,989 people arrived at Dail Soccer Stadium to witness No. 2 NC State — undefeated, unbeaten in 10 games, rolling to its best start to a season since 1985 — defeat No. 16 Virginia.

In this week’s From the Archives, we examine articles and reviews of theatrical productions on Grounds. Theater has long been foundational to the artistic identity of the University, with the variability of productions evidencing new ideas and values for their decades’ respective student bodies. The articles and reviews selected report on productions of Greek dramas, 17th-century French period pieces and adaptations of popular American novels.1950sOct. 6, 1951“Rotunda Stagers to Present ‘Electra’The Rotunda Stagers’ were set to open their season with “Electra”, the second Greek classic to be performed by the group since their founding the prior year. The cast was composed of actors from varying corners of the University, from librarians to drama majors to instructors’ wives, and also included local high school students and Charlottesville residents. 1960sOct. 6, 1960“Players Award Leading Role To John Rodenbeck; First Play, ‘Look Homeward Angel’, To Open Oct. 24”By Ed BlackerThis article revealed that Ketti Frings' dramatization of Thomas Wolfe's novel, Look Homeward, Angel, would soon be performed by the Virginia Players. Wolfe's autobiographical stand-in, Eugene, is the focus of the play, which also examines his tumultuous North Carolina family life. The article gives information about the play's setting, themes of ambition, nostalgia and family strife, as well as a list of the main actors and production team. 1970sOct. 12, 1976“Musical fairy tale christens Virginia Players’ season”By Patti HartigantThe Virginia Players’ opening production of Once Upon a Mattress was an evening of light-hearted fun that allowed its audience to embrace their inner child. While Anne Marshall’s portrayal of Princess Winifred had some technique issues and the choreography of several numbers was lacking, this review appreciates that the production “does not attempt to be anything else but a relaxing, good time.” 1980sOct. 10, 1983“Techniques detract from ‘Miser’”By Nesita KwanCartoon by Marcia HillisThis review evaluates Joseph Shaver's direction of the Virginia Players' staging of Molière's The Miser. Kwan contended that Shaver's theatrical innovations, such as adding Louis XIV's court as an extra "audience," detract from the plot, even though the play successfully parodies the avarice and vanity of 17th-century society. Although Ronald Scott Fry gave a powerful performance as Harpagon, the production's overall impact was diminished by its experimental techniques.1990sOct. 10, 1996“‘Chicago’ blows through Culbreth Theater”By James SeolPhotos by John MillerA production of ‘Chicago’ opened at Culbreth Theater, receiving a less than stellar review from this critic. While the supporting actors, set, and costumes were excellent, the author of this piece noted that the production lacked energy and, like the Broadway production, fell short in the music department. Unlike the Broadway production, which was saved by Bob Fosse’s “electrifying choreography”, this production’s choreography was “minimal and trite.”2000sOct. 10, 2000“‘Skin’ displays impressive body of work”By Doug BrantnerPhotos courtesy of the Department of DramaThis review highlights the cast's dynamic performances and the ambitious scope of the Virginia Players' production of Thornton Wilder's The Skin of Our Teeth. Brantner emphasizes the play's clever staging, powerful performances, and its fusion of humor and philosophical contemplation on rebirth and survival.
