This past November, the Virginia Department of Education gave out $12 million dollars in school security equipment grants, aiming to bolster security measures in almost 500 schools across Virginia. The $12 million included a catalogue of surveillance and communication technology items — items that would seem more at home in a prison than a place of learning. Much of the reasoning behind these decisions has been muddled by growing concerns over school safety. Last year alone, there were 331 incidents involving a gun on school grounds across the country. In Virginia, this past fall, there has also been a massive increase in the number of bombing and shooting threats. Unfortunately, these investments mimic similar ones from the past that failed to live up to their aspirations. While admirable in their sizable efforts to protect students, the efforts of the VDOE are misplaced.

No. 23 Virginia softball returned to Palmer Park Friday for an ACC series versus California. Amazingly, a record-breaking crowd attended the Saturday game to show the Cavaliers (24-8, 6-3 ACC) their support — two victories and a loss to the Golden Bears (23-7, 6-3 ACC) gave Virginia its second ACC series win of the season.
One Saturday, just weeks ago, the then-No. 11 Virginia women’s lacrosse team emerged from a Berkeley, Calif., locker room for the second half of a West Coast matinee. The scoreboard showed 9-6 in favor of the Cavaliers, not the rout one might expect a top-15 powerhouse to impose upon an unranked opponent.
Starting Monday, the University Judiciary Committee will hold its second annual Judiciary Week March 24 through March 28. The week will feature events such as a tab at Bodo’s Bagels, a Run with Jim and a town hall with UJC executive members.
Sunday saw No. 23 Virginia continue a severe slide with a 13-6 loss to Duke. The Blue Devils (16-9, 5-4 ACC) secured the sweep with the win, cruising into Charlottesville and dispatching the Cavaliers (12-10, 3-6 ACC) with relative ease — Friday’s opener was the closest game of the series and was won by a four-run margin. For the first time ever, Virginia was swept by Duke in Charlottesville.
No. 2 Virginia women’s tennis delivered an assertive 4-0 victory over Stanford Sunday afternoon at the Virginia Tennis Facility at Boar’s Head Resort, securing another strong ACC win.

The No. 2 Virginia women’s tennis team suffered its second consecutive defeat Friday, falling 4-1 to California, the nation’s No. 26-ranked team, at the Virginia Tennis Facility at Boar’s Head Resort. The Cavaliers (12-4, 4-2 ACC) struggled to find their footing against the determined Golden Bears (8-4, 5-0 ACC), who remain undefeated in conference competition.
This weekend, the NCAA Championships went down in Philadelphia, with collegiate wrestlers from programs across the country coming together to compete for individual and team national titles.
Second-year College student Ari Randers-Pehrson first began speedcubing — competitively racing to solve combination puzzles, like the Rubik’s Cube — eight years ago. Now, he impressively ranks 18th in the world for the fastest WCA average solve of a 4x4 Cube. While he has accumulated quite the trophy collection throughout his speedcubing career, it is the community he found in World Cube Association competitions that has kept him in the hobby.
Virginia hired Ryan Odom as its next men’s basketball coach, Athletic Director Carla Williams announced in a press release Saturday morning. The bulletin came roughly 16 hours after CBS Sports reported Friday evening that Odom had signed a deal.
Virginia women’s lacrosse made the most of their in-state trip to Harrisonburg, Va. Wednesday when they faced James Madison. The Cavaliers (6-3, 2-2 ACC) started off hot and fought late to keep their lead against the Dukes (5-3, 1-0 AAC), coming out with the 14-11 victory.
Finally, after a series win on the road versus California, No. 23 Virginia officially had momentum. And that momentum was immediately squandered Wednesday against Richmond. The defeat was a frustrating midweek loss that could have served as an opportunity to tune up ahead of a weekend series versus Duke.
John Thomas Casteen III was born December 11th, 1943, in Portsmouth, Va., to John Thomas Casteen Jr. and Naomi Irene (Anderson) Casteen. He grew up in the Cradock and Deep Creek areas of Chesapeake and Portsmouth with his brothers Tim and Dennis and close family friend Bob Linton, graduating from Cradock High School in 1961. From his mother, he inherited a profound love of the musicality of language, including and especially the texture and cadences of the King James Bible. From his father, he learned a life-long love of the water, particularly the Chesapeake Bay and the Great Dismal Swamp. From his teachers in Cradock, especially Cora Mae Fitzgerald, who urged him to attend the University, he gained a sense of the inestimable value of public education — a transformative process of individual growth and democratic progress.
