Every summer has that one song — the one playing at every cookout, spinning at every club and dominating every radio station. To become the “song of the summer,” a track must be more than just a chart-topper — it must be a cultural touchstone, a smash-hit that everybody knows, whether they like it or not.
At the first team meeting of the semester, Coach Sara O’Leary invited the women’s tennis team to think about cups. Not cups as in trophies — though assuredly those are always a goal — but cups in the drink-carrying sense of the word.

I spent my summer gallivanting around Europe, and one of the things I found myself missing most when I got back to the United States was a sandwich dripping in fresh mozzarella and arugula on fresh baked schiacciata.
“727 yards,” the loudspeakers boomed proudly at Scott Stadium as the fourth quarter began to wind down. The actual number ended up at 700 yards exactly after a negative play, but nevertheless, the record was secure with minutes still left to play against William & Mary — this was the most yards gained by Virginia in any game in program history.
Fall tennis, for many players, is pretty simply about getting time on court. After summers that some spend playing tournaments to maximize their playing time and others spend at desk jobs or napping poolside, the flexibility that comes with the fall allows players to shake off rust, hone their craft and do their best to qualify for the NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships in November.
No. 5 Virginia women’s soccer was once again back in business Sunday night, playing host to VCU at Klöckner Stadium. Following a statement win Thursday against No. 2 Duke, the Cavaliers (7-0-1, 1-0-0 ACC) kept up their run of good form in an in-state matchup against the Rams (2-4-2, 0-0-0 A10), prevailing 3-0.
With its prominent law school and proximity to Washington, D.C., the University has long been the site of discussions around law and politics. In fact, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson will visit Grounds on Thursday to discuss her memoir published last year and talk with Law Professor Kimberly J. Robinson. In this week’s From the Archives, ahead of Justice Jackson’s visit, we take a look back at noteworthy law-related events and discourse on Grounds, as well as legal action involving the University’s administrators and students. 1950sSep. 22, 1954“Law School Puts Books On Exhibit”In celebration of the 200th anniversary of the birth of John Marshall, former chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, the University’s Law School put its valuable collection of books belonging to George Wythe, former attorney general of Virginia, on display in a joint exhibit with William & Mary. Among these books was Wythe’s copy of Chancery Decisions, which he gave to Thomas Jefferson as a gift. The book was considered the most valuable volume in the Law Library’s collection, which numbered more than a hundred thousand books.1960sSept. 30, 1964 and Oct. 2, 1964“Byrd Opponent To Speak” and “Congressional Hopeful Attacks Byrd Machine”By None, John LevinEdward E. Haddock, an independent candidate for Congress from the Third District of Virginia, gave a speech at the University on Sept. 30, 1964. He spoke against Harry F. Byrd’s political machine, although he said he was a Democrat “from the Courthouse to the White House.” His issues with Byrd’s administration stemmed largely from their overwhelming control in Virginia, which he lambasts as “selfish interests” designed to discourage Virginians from voting at all, much less from running as independent candidates.1970sSept. 28, 1971“Protection Of Voting Rights Taken To Court By ACLU” By Parkes BrittainThe American Civil Liberties Union sued the office of the registrar, alleging that students at multiple Virginia colleges had been wrongfully denied the ability to register and vote. According to one second-year student, some University students had been barred from voting on the grounds that they are not considered permanent residents of Charlottesville while studying at the University. 1980sSept. 20, 1983 and Sept. 21, 1983“Black Law students’ concerns go unaddressed” and “Law Weekly does respond to all Law students’ concerns”By Marvin W. Smith and Michele Clause, Rob Duston and Rebecca LeeTwo letters were submitted to the editor of The Cavalier Daily one day apart, the first criticizing the Virginia Law Weekly for failing to publish letters related to the release of confidential minority grade information and the second a response from the editors of the Virginia Law Weekly. Marvin W. Smith, the author of the first letter, claims that the Virginia Law Weekly had received submissions from Black Law students about this issue and that their refusal to publish them spoke to a larger culture of “blatant insensitivity” at the Law School. The editors of the Virginia Law Weekly responded with a list of their policies regarding publishing letters to the editor, including their cutoff dates for each issue, a refusal to publish work that has already appeared in another publication, and occasionally delaying a letter to save space. 1990sSept. 21, 1992“Davenport alters suit to face only Casteen” By Greg Volkar Photos by Chris PiersonTed Davenport, former executive director of the Virginia Student Aid Foundation, filed a multimillion dollar lawsuit against University President John Casteen. In the lawsuit, Davenport, who had been fired from his executive director role in VSAF for making improper loans to student athletes, alleged that Casteen fired him in an effort to avoid receiving sanctions from the NCAA and to further his own career. 2000sSept. 15th, 2005“First Amendment wall planned for Downtown”By Catherine ConklePhotos by Pete O’SheaA monument to free speech was erected at the Downtown Mall, created and maintained by the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression, which was founded by former University President Robert O’Neil. The monument is made of two chalkboards and a podium, which can be used by citizens to express their opinions. It is not monitored by any government entity, only the Jefferson Center and any citizen who happens to walk by it.
The University Judiciary Committee is currently processing 16 cases, all of which pertain to individuals, and it closed its application Tuesday for its fall recruitment cycle. The Committee will be electing four new representatives — three from the College of Arts and Sciences and one from the School of Engineering — in accordance with the new referendum to reapportion the number of representatives to proportionally match the school populations.
No. 3 Virginia field hockey finally received a reprieve from their gauntlet of a schedule Sunday, playing its first unranked opponent after three straight ranked matchups to start the year. James Madison (4-3, 0-0, MAC) came to Charlottesville to face the undefeated Cavaliers (4-0, 0-0, ACC) and try to upset the powerhouse on their own field. Though the stats showed a dominant 4-1 victory for Virginia, with the Dukes being outshot by a whopping 20-5, the game was much closer. Until a late scoring avalanche from the Cavaliers in the fourth quarter, the margin was razor thin between the two squads.
