The Presley dynasty has captivated the public’s mind for the last two years, and this month’s premiere of “Priscilla” indicates that this prominence is not going to fade any time soon. Initiated by the release of Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis” in 2022, this revitalized infatuation with Elvis has retrospectively amplified interest in the relationship between him and his ex-wife Priscilla. However, where Luhrmann’s film is a flashy biopic that casts her off as a minor character, “Priscilla” is a beautifully subdued and empathetic depiction of her coming of age and falling in love with a larger-than-life musical icon.

Sunday afternoon brought revenge to the minds of Virginia men’s soccer, who hosted the ACC Quarterfinals against Syracuse — the team that eliminated the No. 9 Cavaliers (10-4-5, 5-1-2 ACC) in the ACC Semifinals in 2022 — at Klöckner Stadium in Charlottesville.

The Charlottesville City Council is at the center of a tug-of-war, pulled by demands to increase housing availability for students on one side and a desire to curb gentrification on the other. In this struggle, they have produced an innovative solution to the housing problem — allowing pockets of high-density growth closer to Grounds targeted for students, like the new student-centered housing complex on Jefferson Park Avenue. However, their new draft of a zoning ordinance threatens to negate the positive effects of this progressive solution by allowing high-density buildings — which house multiple families in a unit — to permeate single family neighborhoods. Charlottesville has an affordable housing problem, and the proposed zoning allocations and rent controls are not the solution. Rather, doubling down on efforts to concentrate student housing near the University will prove beneficial to everyone in the Charlottesville housing market.

One of the main challenges of this time of year is keeping voters informed and getting them to the polls. This is especially the case in Virginia, where 140 seats in the General Assembly are up for election Nov. 7. Early voting in Charlottesville began in late September, but it came with a slow start, as few people showed up to vote early. Despite this, the University’s Center for Politics’ work to boost voter registration on Grounds through a variety of sign-up events highlights the importance of the younger voter demographic — both here and beyond the greater Charlottesville area. The Center for Politics’ work is vital because it fosters engagement with this demographic to help them be educated civic participants — and this is a healthy example of how the University can help our democracy function properly.
