After a close loss to North Carolina saw momentum on the upswing, the Virginia wrestling team hoped to capitalize and secure a win in its final regular season match of the year Friday against Pittsburgh. However, that hopefulness was stunted early on in a 35-7 defeat as the Cavaliers (7-6, 1-4 ACC) were forced to forfeit the opening 125-lbs weight class to the No. 23 Panthers (10-9, 2-3 ACC) due to health injuries that prohibited sophomores Kyle Montaperto and Sammie Hayes from competing. The theme of injuries has been prevalent for Virginia all season, and it held them back from reaching their full potential in this match.

After a long day of midterms, I needed some comfort food, and luckily Brazos was able to hit the spot. Their Austin style tacos have taken Charlottesville by storm, developing a cult following that I needed to experience for myself. The relaxed atmosphere makes it the perfect place to grab a bite to eat, and it is not far from Grounds in the Barracks Road Shopping Center, making Brazos my new go-to for Tex-Mex on a budget.

If you ever see me around Grounds, you probably don’t see me for long. I’m often zooming on my blue electric beach cruiser bike, riding from one place to another. You may have even had the displeasure of hearing me sing off-tune to the music in my headphones as I ride on by. I've been biking around Grounds for about two years now, and I've learned a lot about bike maintenance, bike accessibility and how steep that hill in front of Clark Library really is. But after all this time, the most important lesson I’ve learned from biking is how to be more mindful.

University students can vote on a number of elected positions within student self-governance organizations, beginning Monday morning. The University Board of Elections organized and will hold the University-wide election, which also includes a referendum sponsored by seven student organizations. The referendum demands that the University audit its investment portfolio to identify any connections to companies engaging in or profiting from what the sponsors call “the State of Israel’s apartheid regime and acute violence against Palestinians.”

After three years of construction, Alderman Library opened this January and has quickly become a prominent marker of the University landscape. Arguably more important than its architectural allure, however, is the name behind the building which commemorates Edwin Alderman, the first and longest-serving president of the University. The Board of Visitors will soon consider whether to rename this newly reopened place of learning. Some argue that Alderman’s support of eugenics and his undoubtedly racist beliefs mean that he is an unsuitable namesake for a campus building. But such criticisms ignore the important economic and educational contributions Alderman imparted on the University. Moreover, in order for us to truly reckon with and preserve our history, both good and bad, the Board should refrain from erasing Alderman’s name and instead work to critically communicate the complex person Alderman was.

The completion of Alderman Library’s renovation project has revived library life at the University. Its proximity to the Corner and Central Grounds, the opening of Saxby’s cafe and five floors of beautiful study spaces have combined to create an attractive hub for the University community. Now that Alderman has come to the forefront of student life, students must reconsider Edwin Alderman’s legacy. Alderman was a staunch eugenicist — a proponent of an immoral pseudoscience that argued for the genetic superiority of white Europeans over non-white people. The very goal, and reality, of eugenics was to enact concrete legislation that enshrined these racist conclusions. The library, as his living legacy, forces students to pay homage to this evil ideology every time we say the name. In memorializing Alderman’s name, we are upholding the values to which we no longer institutionally ascribe. Alderman library opened in 1938, a time when his name perhaps did reflect ideals of the time. But we have moved past those values. Our namesakes should reflect the values of our time. Therefore, the library must be renamed, not only to properly honor the University’s history, but also to reflect our changing values.
