The past few editions of The Cavalier Daily have been distressing to me, with all the stories surrounding the current crisis in higher education. Between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's efforts to teach their courses online, the free online content of The Faculty Project, President Sullivan pressing against Gov. Bob McDonnell's limit on using in-state tuition to fund financial aid, and University of California, Riverside's most recent efforts to charge students 5 percent of their future incomes instead of tuition, I am unsure where we should begin if we really want to explore ways to improve this system for future college students.

This just in: Thomas Jefferson was not born on American soil. As his last name clearly indicates, he is an Englishman through and through. Not only is the surname "Jefferson" of Old English origin, but there are currently more than 500 people in England with the same last name!

I am writing to voice my continued concern over the University's decision to embark on yet another construction project in a time of financial stress ("Cabell renovation obtains funding," April 7).

LAST SEMESTER I took a statistics course for the first time - by the way, STAT 2120 is a great class, everyone should take it. While I did learn a lot about how to find various mathematical parameters of the volume of liquid in six random bottles in a bottling factory, the lengths of eight random sticks in a pack of bubble gum, and the estimated amount of time statistics students across the globe spend studying - it's way off, by the way - the most important thing I learned is that all the statistics in the world don't mean a thing without someone to interpret them.

Where is the University I was promised? I am third-year in the (so I have been told) second-largest department at the University: politics. Three of my 3000-level classes this semester have more than 300 people in them. My professor will never know my name or even recognize my face. My opportunity to discuss ideas with my peers consists of an awkward weekly discussion section in which it is like pulling teeth when the teaching assistant, a graduate student, asks us questions about the readings that only three of us actually completed. I might be more forgiving of this "factory-like" college experience (as one of my professors put it) if the school were serious about budget cuts. But I just do not see it.
