Despite the departure of Joe McCarthy from the Virginia baseball program after being drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays in June, there will still be a player from Scranton, Pa. donning number 31 in the Davenport dugout this season. Freshman Jake McCarthy has enjoyed his first semester at the University, saying that “it is a lot… busier and obviously more competitive than high school... [but] I think I have been acclimating pretty well. ...I am really enjoying it so far.”
Virginia may be set to gain one new congressional seat following the 2020 census according to some estimates, but population projections from the University’s Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service say otherwise.
The No. 20 Virginia wrestling team took a step away from team competition as it traveled to Lock Haven, Pa. for the Mat Town Open Sunday. The open was the first individual competition that the Cavaliers (3-2, 0-0 ACC) participated in since the Clarion Open earlier this month.
Recently, Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, called upon the United Nations Security Council to “protect” the Palestinian people and the Temple Mount from the State of Israel. His request comes after weeks of violence in Israel and the Palestinian territories, mainly stemming from the claim by Palestinians that Israel seeks to change the status quo on the Temple Mount.
Saturday’s game against Georgia Tech was fittingly bizarre for a Halloween game. As if in costume, Virginia did their best impression of the Yellow Jackets (3-6, 1-5 ACC) winning the game behind a prolific rushing attack, possession totals that can only be described as selfish, and a late defensive stand.
The No. 5 Virginia field hockey team fell 5-4 in overtime to No. 14 Boston College Sunday. The contest was the final regular season contest for the Cavaliers. The loss also dropped Virginia to fourth place in the ultra-competitive ACC.
PULSE at U.Va., an organization focused on fostering open dialogue, held a retreat over fall break at Camp Albemarle.
Virginia football kicks off its 126th season against No. 13 UCLA Saturday. Converging on the Rose Bowl are two quarterbacks cut from different cloths, yet both carry the burden of expectations heading into the 2015 college football season.

The two-day Virginia Challenge concluded Saturday night with Cavalier track and field athletes competing in fan favorite events in an electric atmosphere at Lannigan Field.
Tennessee rockers Diarrhea Planet will be making their third Charlottesville appearance this year Friday at the Southern Cafe & Music Hall. Known for its heavy four-guitar sound, catchy riffs and explosive live shows, the Nashville-based band garnered critical praise with its latest EP, “Aliens in the Outfield.” Arts & Entertainment chatted with one of the band’s often-unsung heroes, bassist Mike Boyle, about his work and the upcoming concert.
I recently heard it’s considered unprofessional to end a sentence with an exclamation point. I find this outrageous!
For over a decade stretching from 1999-2013, the words “Virginia men’s swimming and diving” and “ACC Champions” were essentially synonymous. The Cavaliers won 14 of the 15 conference championships during that span under former coach Mark Bernardino.
Title Fight’s “Hyperview” is a dizzying, dark reflection on a menagerie of obscurity. Dominated by confessional slam poetry lyrics and a blundering, woozy tone, this album shows a significant shift from the band’s earlier material.

Today begins a brand new segment of the fashion advice I typically dish out, with the first ever Celebrity Spotlight — a new feature in which I select a celebrity and effectively (I hope) expose all of that person’s fashion faux pas and success.
Republicans around the country are in the midst of a great celebration. Victors in most of the contested Senate races around the country, the GOP commands a healthy majority in the U.S. Senate (their exact lead will not be known until the Louisiana runoff on December 6th). The GOP also picked up several surprise governorships, including traditional Democratic strongholds Illinois and Maryland.
Hasan Khan’s recent article “Accepting Adderall” raised some interesting points about the use of “study drugs” in academics. Cognitive enhancements of some kind may indeed be the next step on our way to a new era of productivity — whether this future is a utopia or an “A Brave New World”-esque nightmare remains ambiguous. But I take serious issue with one of Khan’s assumptions. Khan attempts to debunk the “steroids in sports” argument against Adderall usage, but in doing so he neglects the realities of academia. In his argument, sports, “based solely on individual achievement and glory,” are negatively affected by performance-enhancing drugs, which offer an unfair advantage. But in academia, a “student’s use of neuroenhancers doesn't automatically hurt other students’ productivity.”
