“Plans To Obtain Phones In Houses At Impasse”
By Lew Firey
The newly built dorms on Grounds had only two phones for use, despite the fact that 280 students resided in the dorms. Obviously, getting time to use the phone became extremely hard for students and frustrating for faculty. Unfortunately, the University faced several obstacles in bringing more phones to the dorms, and plans for more phone lines weren’t set until spring!

The Hill had just been reopened for all ticketed fans, and they came pouring in Saturday to watch Virginia take on North Carolina.

The Cavaliers (4-4, 2-3 ACC) handed the Tar Heels (4-4, 1-4 ACC) their first conference win of the season in embarrassing fashion. The only question at hand is whether the offense or the defense was the worst part of the afternoon.

In a clash of national championship contenders, Virginia field hockey journeyed down to Chapel Hill, N.C. Friday for a showdown against North Carolina. Most of the competition played out in the second half of the game, during which the No. 4 Cavaliers (12-3, 5-2 ACC) could not find their footing as the No. 2 Tar Heels (13-0, 6-0 ACC) continued their undefeated season with a 4-0 stomping of the visitors.

Virginia football is at an intriguing crossroads. Needing to win two of its final five games to secure bowl game eligibility, an appetizing opportunity awaits in the form of a home game Saturday against North Carolina. The Cavaliers started the season 4-1 but have since entered a slump after facing two tough opponents in Louisville and Clemson. However, that is not to say that Virginia has played poorly, as they have held a lead at one point in both losses and have scored an average of 25.5 points in those games.

Every year, the minute October hits, texts begin popping up on my phone with the annual question, “What are we doing for Halloween?” I usually sit back and wait until one of my friends proposes a brilliant idea, knowing that we will likely end up throwing on a pair of fairy wings for the 100th time. But this year, I’ve compiled a list of group costume ideas to save us — and any college friend group — some brainstorming time. Fit for duos, trios and even larger groups, these costumes can easily be pulled off by the time Halloweekend rolls around next Thursday, and they might even result in a killer Instagram post.

The Honor Committee met Sunday and voted to pass new sanctioning bylaws that were first introduced in their Oct. 6 meeting. The bylaws outline a pre-sanctioning process where the Counsel for the Community — the support officer representing both the reporter and the Community of Trust in an Honor trial — has the opportunity to present their own arguments in a Panel for Sanctions, rather than relying solely on the reporter's input. This change addressed concerns that the reporter’s perspective has been overemphasized and the Community of Trust’s interests have been underemphasized in the sanctioning process.

When Tony Bennett retired last week, a wave of shock shot through the world of college basketball. There was confusion over the timing of the decision. There were conspiracies about what could possibly be the reason for it. There was a slew of former players, fellow coaches and unbelieving fans lining up to sing Bennett’s praises.
