As someone who grew up eating Italian food homemade by my Nonna, I’m pretty hard to impress when it comes to my native cuisine. Even so, the food at Mona Lisa Pasta earns my praise. I grabbed dinner from the locally-owned Italian deli to bring home to my five roommates for under $35. The cozy take-out shop is perfect for any Italian craving, with affordable prices and flavorful dishes.

Another three-win season is not going to suffice for Cavalier football, and it’s no secret that the pressure is mounting on Coach Tony Elliott as he enters his third season at Virginia. In 2024 Elliott and his staff must prove he has a vision for the program. The transfer portal opened Dec. 4 and stretched until Jan. 2, providing a small window to go shopping for superstars. In that time, Virginia rushed to accumulate talent and bolster a roster in need of support — and ultimately, the Cavalier transfer crop yielded a slew of promising additions.

Following a strong start to the spring campaign in which Virginia has stamped itself as a premier team in the country with a second-place finish at the Puerto Rico Classic and a fourth-place mark at the Watersound Collegiate, the Cavaliers made their way down to Sawgrass Country Club in Ponte Vedra, Fla., for the John Hayt Invitational. The event had a tremendous field, featuring five teams in the most recent GCAA top-25 poll, Alabama, North Carolina, Virginia, North Florida and Duke.

Third-year College student Lisa Kopelnik was voted in as the next student member of the Board of Visitors at their March 1 meeting. Kopelnik, who currently serves as the chair of the University Judiciary Committee, will also continue as a UJC representative for the College after her tenure as chair ends April 7.

Coming off of a 6-3 win Tuesday against Penn State and a ridiculous Wednesday performance in which the team hit eight home runs against George Washington, the Virginia baseball team was riding high. But their momentum would soon face a stiff challenge at Alex Rodriguez Park, where they played Miami in Virginia’s first ACC series of the year.

After a rough season of ACC matches that saw losses over four consecutive weeks, the Virginia wrestling team finished their conference play Sunday at the ACC Championships. The Cavaliers (7-6, 1-4 ACC) sent one wrestler for each weight class to the event and competed against the best from each of the six ACC schools that have wrestling teams.

Feb. 18, The Cavalier Daily published an opinion article arguing that the Honor Committee ought to focus more on the mental health of accused students. As members of the Committee, we commend this article’s intention. However, the article is based on a faulty understanding of the Committee’s existing procedures. The Contributory Health Impairment, to which the column refers, is not litigated at an Honor hearing, so making mental health assessments opt-out as a part of the hearing procedure is fundamentally unfeasible and will needlessly add months to the already-long case processing timeline. Therefore, we strongly disagree with the solution proposed in the column and believe that mental health evaluations should not be made opt-out.

No. 3 men’s tennis downed two conference opponents on the road over the weekend — first defeating North Carolina 4-2 Friday evening then continuing the streak Sunday when it defeated No. 15 Duke 6-1. The Cavaliers (12-4, 4-0 ACC) have yet to lose a conference matchup so far in the regular season and continued that momentum with these two victories.

Virginia track and field sent four individual competitors and a pair of relay teams to compete in the NCAA Indoor Championships in Boston, Mass. over the weekend. Their efforts saw both great disappointment and incredible success, but what remained consistent was the grit with which all the Cavaliers competed.

Virginia and Towson wrestled in the rain for two tense quarters, locked together, battling back and forth. Then a different kind of storm manifested, as the No. 6 Cavaliers (5-1, 0-0 ACC) pounded in nine consecutive goals, cementing victory in an eventual 19-15 defeat of the Tigers (4-3, 0-0 CAA) Saturday at Johnny Unitas Stadium.

Recently, Charlottesville City Council has allocated funds towards transforming a few downtown properties into housing assistance for people without shelter. This allocation signals an important step towards a Housing First approach. In contrast with popular short-term assistance programs geared towards alleviating the effects of homelessness, a focus on housing — not shelter — first aims to provide lasting support so participants can focus on gaining work and eventual self-sufficiency. Ultimately, however, the property acquisition is but a single step in what must be a sustained effort on the part of the Council to respond to the homelessness epidemic with sustainable, long-term initiatives. Housing First approaches promote this sort of long-term housing solution and, in the process, engender fiscally responsible welfare programs.

By April 1, the University will release decisions for the remaining class of 2028 applicants. For Yale, Dartmouth, Brown and a growing number of other universities across the country, this admissions process marks the final cycle before returning to standardized testing requirements. One year ago, the 134th Editorial Board urged the University to maintain their no-testing policy indefinitely — citing both the test’s problematic origins and its ineffectiveness at evaluating prospective students. While we do share the concerns voiced by the previous Editorial Board, our current moment is different. We now believe that standardized testing has a place in the future of college admissions, provided it is considered within the larger context of an applicant’s abilities and circumstances.

For years on end, graduate student workers at the University have long protested serious delays in the reception of their stipends. The United Campus Workers of Virginia, a local chapter of a union which represents higher education workers, regularly advocates for wage and stipend raises. But at our University, this union has not been able to advocate for raises because the more pressing problem is the all too-frequent absence of stipends. Stipend checks received weeks late and thousands of dollars short are particularly unacceptable for a university that regularly boasts about its financial accessibility. In this way, such systemic problems at the graduate level undermine the institution’s proclaimed support for diverse financial backgrounds. The University must restoratively respond to these failures, locating tangible solutions to a system that continues to mistreat and undervalue the graduate student community.

Then, to start off the academic semester, they won eight games in a row, then dropped four of seven, only to close out the regular season with a quality 72-57 win against Georgia Tech. The win against the Yellow Jackets clinched the No. 3 seed for Virginia in the ACC Tournament.

Virginia women’s lacrosse’s quick turnaround from a Wednesday win over No. 23 Richmond did not deter the No. 13 Cavaliers (7-1, 2-1 ACC) when they traveled to South Bend, Ind. to face Notre Dame Saturday afternoon. Virginia earned a gritty 12-10 victory against the No. 4 Fighting Irish (5-1, 1-2 ACC), and it took a strong all-around showing from the Cavaliers to add to the win column.
