Oftentimes at the University, students are defined by their activities, leading everyone to choose involvements wisely. Only with this scrutinizing eye did I join the ranks of the school's best new organization: The Assemblage of Cain.
Although recent warm temperatures may have lulled students into a false sense of security that winter's end is near, Environmental Sciences Prof. Robert E. Davis said this year's winter has in fact been one of the most severe in recent past and there still is more arctic air ahead.
The defending national champion Virginia men's lacrosse team opened its regular season Saturday against Drexel in Haverford, Pa. The Cavaliers used a balanced offensive attack and solid defense to defeat the Dragons, 15-4.
The Virginia women chanted "Hoo's House? Our House!" throughout the ACC swimming championships at the AFC Saturday night and made that mantra a reality after capturing the title with 675 points to defend their conference championship from last year. For the second year in row, the rival Carolina came in second place with 623.50 points, while Florida State rounded out the top three with 611 points.
The annual pilgrimage to Punxsutawney, Pa. brings either delight or despair depending on the appear-ance of Phil's infamous shadow. Unfortunately, the groundhog's shadow was present yesterday, sadly predicting six more weeks of winter.
Saturday in State College, Pa., several members of the Virginia track and field team improved on their best personal performances, taking medals at the National Open.
The Cavalier Daily staff elected a new ensemble of writing, photography and production staff members to serve on its 115th managing, senior and junior boards Saturday in Jefferson Hall.
I attended both preseason men's basketball games and the Mount St. Mary's and High Point games. No, I don't think I should be awarded a medal for this, but I know it is a rather unique claim. How can I be so sure of this? Well, in those four games the student section of U-Hall seemingly maxed out at 10.
Today will be the first of a series of articles looking at the choice to go to medical school. What I hope to offer is a few simple observations as I look back on the process that I went through to become a doctor and maybe even offer a little advice. In upcoming articles, I will discuss the results of my informal survey to my friends in their first year of residency.
The Virginia wrestling team placed eighth out of 11 teams in the 2003 Mat Town USA Tournament over Thanksgiving weekend. Four Cavalier wrestlers finished in the top eight spots of their respective weight classes at tournament in Lock Haven, Pa.
FOR THOUSANDS of years, marriage between a woman and a man has been a bedrock of civilization with cultural, legal, religious and historical underpinnings that provide the foundation for society's most basic social unit: the family. Recently, though, the institution has come under attack, most notably last week when four judicial activists on the Massachusetts State Supreme Court struck down that state's ban on gay marriages as unconstitutional. The decision was both poor and erroneous and left many unanswered questions about gay rights and the role of the judiciary in shaping public policy.
The Cavaliers were led by Scott Moore, a transfer from Penn State who picked up the title for the 141-pound division, and four other Virginia wrestlers who placed in the top six for their respective weight classes.
Virginia field hockey captain Katie Jo Gerfen has been named to the STX-NFHCA All-South Region First Team. She previously had been named to the Second Team in 2001.
The Virginia field hockey team won two out of three games this past week to drive their record back above .500.
The most accessible drink at fraternity parties, without a doubt, is beer. However, there is currently a push to mandate the presence water coolers alongside the beer line at these parties. This initiative, led by ADAPT (Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Team), would provide fraternities with a water cooler. In order for this to be made mandatory, it would have to be approved by the IFC Presidents' Council. Inter-Fraternity Council President Ryan Ewalt has indicated his support for this initiative, and he presented the idea to both the Presidents' Council and the Executive Board of the IFC.
The Virginia field hockey team (4-1) defeated Virginia Commonwealth, 2-1, Friday night in Richmond thanks to high shots and a strong defensive effort.
I think it was Thomas Wolfe who said, "You can't go home again ... because every time you do, you find out someone from high school is pregnant."
BLAME it on Yankee ignorance. Look at it as a slight resurgence of that "Northern aggression," whose war by the same name still echoes sometimes here through the valleys in this vibrant land south of Maryland (you Northern Virginians, try as you might, are not technically excluded). Yes, the Yankees are still at it, determined to arrogantly perpetuate the stereotypes of those ignorant, racist, backward Southerners. While pernicious anti-Southern bias is nothing new, CBS has taken up the lead to bring humiliation of the South to a new low. "The Real Beverly Hillbillies" concept, currently under development by CBS, is simple: transplant a poor, rural, "hillbilly" family from its home in the backwoods to a Hollywood mansion. Slap on a reality-TV production crew and once the cameras roll, let the humiliation begin. CBS scouts have been sent exclusively to Southern states for their "hick hunt," and one can only imagine that if this despicable excuse for entertainment is allowed to air, we'll all be treated to yet more of the same old tired Southern stereotypes. But this isn't merely CBS's faux pas -- the offensive and ignorant prejudgments of the South permeate our whole culture. The South is constantly misrepresented, and it's time people understood that the prevalent anti-Dixie bias is irrational and ultimately undeserved.
Virginia Tech's Board of Visitors launched the school into an uproar last week when it voted to eliminate race, gender and other factors from consideration in admissions and hiring. The board also struck out all references to sexual orientation from its non-discrimination policies.
