Three days removed from a sobering blowout at Cameron Indoor Stadium, No. 13 Virginia needed to reverse course against Wake Forest Tuesday night at John Paul Jones Arena.
While many students left Grounds for sunny shores, foreign cities or the comfort of their hometowns over spring break, the Virginia baseball team has no such luxury. Instead, they went south to Charlotte, N.C., hoping for vacation pleasure to come in the win column. Rather, they received a Tuesday night clubbing at the hands of the 49ers and junior lefty Chayse Oxborrow.
The University’s Spring 2026 student elections drew the largest voter turnout for the Student Council presidential race in recent years, with 6,924 students casting ballots in that election. According to the official results reported Feb. 26, 25.62 percent of the eligible student body cast a vote, and the race resulted in the election of third-year Commerce student Michael Mitchell as Student Council president.

Only a few dedicated fans shuffled into Radford’s stadium for a rainy Tuesday afternoon game. The game was not initially on the schedule for No. 20 Virginia, and was an opportunity to work out some kinks as they prepare to enter ACC play. The Cavaliers (20-1, 0-0 ACC) defeated the Highlanders (5-11, 0-0 BSC) 2-0 in what was a lackluster offensive display featuring defensive domination.

On Jan. 21, officials with the Virginia Department of Health reported the third confirmed case of measles in Virginia already in 2026 — with only five reported in all of 2025. Locally, since students returned from winter break, the Blue Ridge Health District, which included Albemarle County, has confirmed at least 30 cases of pertussis, or whooping cough. Together, these incidents constitute a worrying trend. Diseases previously thought to be eliminated by vaccination are now surging in Virginia. This shift could partially be attributed to the national trend of parents opting out of school-mandated vaccines using religious exemptions, which was initially created to ensure those with minority religious beliefs that oppose vaccines could still send their children to school. The abuse of these exemptions, though, undermines herd immunity and in turn, creates serious health risks for everyone. It is imperative that state officials remove the religious exemption to prevent the revival of these illnesses and protect the health of Virginia’s children.
Printing is an essential part of academic life for University students, from problem sets to class readings and presentation materials for clubs. Currently, University students must pay to print through the PaperCut system that is paired with printers across Grounds. The price of a print job varies — black and white pages cost 8 cents each, and color pages cost 60 cents each. Since printing is necessary for academic life, especially amidst a push to tech-free classrooms that require students to use only physical materials, printing should be treated as a basic academic service offered free of personal charge to all University students.
Correction: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that the search for University President Scott Beardsley lasted seven months. The search lasted for approximately five months. The article has been updated to reflect this change.
As elections for Student Council positions unwind, student leaders have consistently considered specific ways to improve students’ lives. While student financial security over the last year has been imperiled by major, apathetic decisions at the federal level, like cuts to student loan offerings, there exists also a smorgasbord of “smaller” issues at our University. These issues are represented in everyday costs, such as parking fees and laundry charges that, when taken together, are burdensome indeed. Given that these costs are imposed directly by the University, they are far easier to influence than federal decisions. While the University is commendable in its dedication to supporting students through financial aid, support must not end there — the University’s commitment to affordable access should be expanded, in concert with Student Council, to ensure that no student suffers overly burdensome day-to-day costs for important necessities.
Pop’s most reliable showman, Bruno Mars, released his long-awaited fourth solo studio album “The Romantic” Friday — his first individual release in a decade. While Mars has proven he can release anything — from the retro-soul of Silk Sonic to high-profile collaborations with Blackpink’s Rosé or Lady Gaga in recent years — and still be met with commercial success, this album perhaps relies too heavily on that goodwill.
The genre-bending English cartoon band Gorillaz released their anticipated ninth studio album titled “The Mountain” Feb. 27. Created by “Blur” frontman Damon Albarn and illustrator Jamie Hewlett in 1998, the band gained notoriety in the early 2000s for testing the boundaries of alternative music, with this project carrying that trend forward in a remarkably new fashion.Gorillaz is composed of four virtual cartoon members — 2-D, Noodle, Russel Hobbs and Murdoc Niccals — designed by Hewlett and musically represented by Albarn. Throughout the album, audiences follow the foursome to India, and an accompanying animated short film, “The Mountain, The Moon Cave and The Sad God,” depicts their journey up this titular mountain. With 15 songs all featuring artist collaborations and exploring themes of mortality, afterlife and rebirth, “The Mountain” sums to a transcendent journey that clocks in at a little over one hour long.
Losing to the No. 1 team in the country, on its home court, inside one of the most hostile environments in college basketball, is not necessarily cause for panic. Duke is currently touted as the best team in America for a reason. The Blue Devils have just clinched the ACC regular-season title and boast what might be one of the most complete rosters in college basketball — plenty of good teams have walked into Cameron Indoor Arena, and this season every single one has walked out with a loss.
The University Board of Visitors will convene Thursday for the first time since the Board appointed Rector Carlos M. Brown and Vice Rector Victoria Harker in a special meeting Feb. 21. Unlike typical meetings of the Board, only the Health System Board, Buildings and Grounds Committee and full Board will meet for a reduced meeting schedule due to Board member availability.
The University’s chapter of Sigma Nu Fraternity is under interim suspension as of Feb. 25 according to Marsh Pattie, associate vice president for student affairs. Pattie confirmed Friday that the chapter is pending an investigation due to hazing allegations.
The third game of this weekend’s series against VCU saw the Cavaliers journey to Richmond for an afternoon contest at The Diamond. After a convincing short outing two weeks ago against VMI, freshman John Paone earned the first weekend start of his Virginia career in the last game before a southern trip takes the Cavaliers (10-1, 0-0 ACC) into North Carolina this week.
In light of the recent Student Council elections, we take a look into the archives to examine stories of governance, student accounts of policy and amendment ratifications. The organizations encompassed under the University’s central student governing body include Student Council, the Honor Committee, and the University Judiciary Committee. By taking a look at the efforts put forth by students within these organizations, we can understand how student self-governance has evolved, what bylaws have stayed consistent and how student-led improvements were conducted over the years.
Mitski released her eighth studio album — the latest in a strong stretch of collections of deeply personal anthems — titled “Nothing’s About to Happen to Me” Feb. 27. It has eleven tracks that run for a total of 34 minutes in which Mitski’s haunting voice and masterful arrangements shine through to create a powerful album of heartache and wanting. Mitski's ability to capture raw emotion, appeal to the cynic and play with metaphors has always been her strength. She showcases this talent on her two biggest hit songs from her previous albums, “My Love Mine All Mine” and “Washing Machine Heart,” and her newest album maintained that reputation.
During the season of Lent, St. Paul’s Memorial Church is giving students and the greater Charlottesville community the space to engage in reflection and conversation about some of life’s biggest questions. Every weekday at 8 a.m., St. Paul’s — located at 1701 University Ave. — offers a traditional morning prayer service in the chapel followed by a Bible study. Friday mornings, that Bible study is uniquely focused on some of the Bible’s unnamed female figures.
