Sunday, racks of secondhand clothing lined the Amphitheater as students and community members came together to sift through garments in search of their next closet staple. From 1-3 p.m., live music and animated conversation filled the air at “Ye Olde BIG SWAP.” Embracing a medieval-inspired theme, the event was hosted by the Contracted Independent Organization SWAP, which is an acronym for Sustainability, Wearing confidence, Accessibility and Promoting community. The event reimagined the traditional clothing exchange as a Renaissance-faire-like experience — aptly dubbed a “RenaisSWAP faire.”
In the wake of several highly-publicized mass shootings, anti-gun politicians have resumed calls for gun control legislation. Amid widespread trepidation, including at our University, emotions run high — but fear seldom translates to sound policy. That fact, however, has not stopped Virginia Democrats. As the clock ran out on the 2026 legislative session, Senate Democrats voted to advance to Gov. Abigail Spanberger a proposal to ban the sale of so-called “assault firearms” under the guise of public safety. This is shortsighted. Not only will the proposal likely fail to make a dent in gun homicides — but it is also hopelessly incoherent and will inflict a cascade of pernicious ramifications that will far outweigh any supposed benefits.
Under the lights of the JMA Wireless Dome and thousands of boisterous Syracuse fans, Virginia hoped to extend a miracle-like turnaround that has defined the most recent part of their season. Against the Orange (10-3, 2-1 ACC), the Cavaliers (7-5, 2-1 ACC) looked different from the squad that led the team to back-to-back conference upsets, and lost to Syracuse 14-9.
This year, a longing for 2016 has captured the internet’s fancy, a sentiment seemingly echoed by the mob of students that filled the lower levels of John Paul Jones Arena Saturday night to witness a concert from rapper Quavo. The concert was a part of the Spring Fest programming put on by the University Programs Council. Perhaps best known for his membership in rap trio Migos, Quavo is the latest in a sequence of superstars — including A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and Waka Flocka Flame — to take the stage for UPC’s annual spring event.

It was the third inning. On what would have been a routine force-out at home with the bases loaded, junior pitcher Julia Cuozzo fielded a bounce in the circle but lost control of a toss to redshirt freshman catcher Reagan Hickey — in the time it took to recover the errant ball, the cleats of two Hokies touched home plate.
Michael Mitchell, former vice president for organizations and third-year Commerce student, won the 2026 Student Council presidential election with 51.7 percent of the vote and will serve as the University’s next Student Council president. As he begins to transition into his role as president, Mitchell said he plans to prioritize building Student Council’s long-term financial stability through an endowment, expanding access and awareness of mental health resources and increasing the Council’s visibility and engagement with the broader student body.
In its final regular season match of the season, No. 8 Virginia clinched its first ever outright ACC regular season title with a thrilling win over No. 14 NC State Sunday afternoon. It was a marathon of a dual — with a razor-thin doubles point and several extremely close singles matches — but after three hours and 40 minutes, the Cavaliers (19-4, 12-0 ACC) extended their win streak to 13 straight, defeating the Wolfpack (19-7, 10-2 ACC) 4-2.
With the use of artificial intelligence on the rise at the University, there are currently no formalized, University-wide policies in place to regulate the usage of AI in educational settings or professional environments. To address this AI development, the Sloane Lab has done research to create a governing body of students who would be a voice to the University population when creating policies.
The University Judiciary Committee elected its next Executive Committee March 22, with Zach Davidson, former vice chair for first years and third-year College student, elected as chair. Davidson and the new leadership began their term April 1 and will serve until April 1, 2027.

On April 21, Virginians will have to make an important choice for the future of the Commonwealth — to maintain the current voting system, or to respond to unfair initiatives nationwide by redistricting to a 10-1 Democratic-Republican ratio. Last year, President Donald Trump encouraged several red-leaning states to gerrymander voting districts in order to gain extra Republican seats in Congress, such as Texas, Ohio and Missouri. This has led voters across the country to raise several concerns about electoral fairness and democratic integrity — causing blue states to consider emergency district redrawing, such as Californians who passed Proposition 50 November 4.
Folk-rock band Fantastic Cat embraces the roots of the genres with a commitment to not take anything too seriously — except for the music. The cheekily labeled “supergroup” has received acclaim from multiple venerated sources, including current Dead & Company frontman John Mayer, Rolling Stone and a Village Voice review that asked if Fantastic Cat was “the Wu-Tang Clan of folk rock.” Their third studio album, “Cat Out Of Hell," released April 10, and the band is making a stop in Charlottesville Sunday at The Southern Café and Music Hall.
