With March basketball on the horizon, fans at John Paul Jones Arena were treated to a top-of-ACC rematch between No. 11 Virginia and NC State — the former having defeated the latter 76-61 in January. After a slow and messy first half, both teams took off in the second, before the Cavaliers (25-3, 13-2 ACC) pulled away from the Wolfpack (19-9, 10-5 ACC), finalizing a 58-point second half and 90-61 win.

In the final week of January, the University experienced a severe snowstorm that resulted in five inches of snowfall and ice accumulation on Grounds. In addition to causing the cancellation and delay of in-person instruction for three days, the snowstorm also resulted in at least 25 student injuries — including sprains, abrasions and bruising — according to Student Health and Wellness.

Continuing the celebration of Black History Month, this From the Archives highlights orators, exhibits and conversations from the past 70 years of the University’s history. With speeches from civil rights icons like Martin Luther King Jr. and Bobby Seale, the announcement of African-American Studies courses and passionate letters from University Guides on the history of slavery at the University, these articles share Black history on Grounds, honoring those who paved the way while acknowledging the setbacks they faced.1950sFeb. 8, 1955“Armstrong Brings All-Stars Here”By Robert EgglestonPhotos by unlisted photographerIn 1955, Louis Armstrong was set to perform in Memorial Gymnasium for a weekend concert and dances alongside Velma Middleton and his All-Stars. Ranked first among instrumental groups by the magazine Orchestra World, Louis Armstrong and his All-Stars are “one of the world’s all-time jazz greats.”1960sMarch 27, 1963“King Gives Appeal For Equal Rights”By John OmwakeOn Monday, March 25, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. spoke at Old Cabell Hall, after a press conference earlier that day in the South Meeting Room of Newcomb Hall. During the press conference, he argued that segregation in the North was “potentially explosive” and resulted from de facto housing policies, rather than laws like in the South. King pushed for quicker change, specifically asking church groups, white Southern moderates and the federal government to show strong leadership in the face of anti-integration protests. "Segregation is on its deathbed,” King said. “The only question is how much cost the U.S. will pay for its funeral.”1970sFeb. 8, 1971“Afro-American Studies Offered”By unlisted authorA new course on the Introduction to Afro-American Studies was offered the Spring semester of 1971. This class would feature guest speakers, including Roy Wilkins, the executive secretary of the NAACP at the time, and would cover topics such as Black music, Black cultural nationalism and Black religious nationalism. The creation of the course emphasized wanting to view the topics of the course through Black perspectives and experiences.1980sMarch 21, 1984“Religious African masks mystify, strengthen tribe” By Kathy JourdanPhotos by John BurtonIn 1984, a new addition to the Bayly Art Museum, now the Fralin Museum of Art, included an African art collection.

Student self-governance is not perfect — in fact, the response of student organizations last semester to an obstinate Board of Visitors highlights the structural inadequacies of trying to resist a governing body that has no incentive to listen to its constituents. From pleading votes of no confidence to, in the end, ineffective protests on the Lawn, the Board responded time and again by thumbing its nose at students. Though perhaps a new Board and University president will be more accepting of the concerns of students, these new developments should be understood more as an act of grace on the part of benevolent leaders, rather than the product of any past student action.

While the Virginia women were busy dismantling their side of the ACC, the Cavalier men endured a more humbling week at the McAuley Aquatic Center in Atlanta, Ga. — one that nonetheless offered tantalizing glimpses of what Coach Todd DeSorbo’s men could become.

Charlottesville residents and University students voiced their continued concerns with the student housing development project on West Main Street at a City Council meeting Feb. 17. Students and citizens asked the Council to be more proactive in creating affordable housing solutions for marginalized communities and preventing gentrification brought on by student housing. The Council also considered minor reforms to zoning rules and heard a report on tax policy, both of which sparked discussions among councilors on issues related to student housing.

When the average student on Grounds is asked why they wanted to go to college, the typical response may range from parental influence to furthering one’s academic potential. Underneath this array of responses, however, lies one simple fact — most students would not be here if they did not think that a degree from the University would bolster their future prospects of employment. After all, it would be ludicrous for parents to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars or students to go into debt for an “experience,” expecting no return on investment and no material skill proficiency. When it comes to this return on investment, our University fares better than most. Yet, the laundry list of varying general education classes required to graduate makes a significant portion of the skill-acquiring endeavor that is college completely meaningless.

Hykeem Jamaal Carter Jr. — better known as rapper Baby Keem — released his highly anticipated second studio album “Ca$ino” Friday, delivering his most vulnerable work to date. Across 11 tracks, Keem showcases versatility through dark production and emotionally charged writing while confronting the instability of his upbringing. Paired with its rollout that included a documentary, “Ca$ino” becomes Keem’s most introspective work yet, as the album exhibits parts of his life he previously kept private and a newly matured version of himself.

President Donald Trump’s Department of Education has proposed to redefine what is considered a “professional degree” for the purposes of maximum student loan amounts. In their proposal, eight degrees are no longer classed as professional, meaning they now qualify for a maximum of $20,500 per year in federal loans as opposed to $50,000 a year for degrees that remain classified as professional, such as law, medicine and theology. The most striking of the reclassified degrees is the graduate nursing degree. By moving to seriously limit the amount of financial aid that students in these programs can receive, the federal government will exacerbate an already troublesome situation in the healthcare labor market. Such a prospect is unacceptable, and the University must do its part in alleviating the burden.

The selection of Scott Beardsley as the University’s 10th president Dec. 19 marked the final step in the Justice Department and Board of Visitors’ unpopular plan to oust former University President Jim Ryan. Disappointed, hurt and enraged, several community members have already called for Gov. Abigail Spanberger to use her power over the Board to immediately force Beardsley out. While this is an understandable impulse — Beardsley was appointed by an illegitimate, unrepresentative search committee — pursuing aggressive action to end the new Beardsley presidency is not the solution. Ending his presidency would risk embroiling the University in even greater turmoil and misses what really needs to be done. Instead, the University community must come together behind Beardsley, collectively focusing on how we can repair what has been broken and move towards a better future.

Last month, my roommate and I were searching Grubhub for soup — a favorite of ours that rarely makes an appearance in the dining halls — when we stumbled across Revolutionary Soup. I had never heard of it before, but the idea of a warm bowl of soup on a chilly evening was infinitely enticing. So after checking out the menu, we decided to give it a try.

As one of the oldest public universities in the United States with a UNESCO World Heritage designation, the University has long had its page in the history books. What is often left out from its well-known past, however, is its connection to Black history — storied with deep roots in enslavement and segregation. The Virginia Guide Service has been working to change that.

Correction: A previous version of this article did not fully reflect the breadth of BGU’s mission and leadership structure. In addition to cultivating community and mentorship, BGU was also founded to support retention efforts of Black women at the University. The article has been updated to include this part of the organization’s mission, and clarifies BGU’s leadership model.

With students finally settled back into life on Grounds and big assignments coming down the pipeline, the last thing any student needs is the influenza virus ruining their academic experience. At least 40 of you freaks are already down with the sickness, and I bet there are at least 40 more of you out there right now coughing in the back of a lecture hall. Perhaps some of you are neglecting to use the AFC wet wipes and ruining it all for the rest of us. Thus, as a desperate final appeal to save the University from a Hoo Flu pandemic, I’m going to take the time to give you some of the most evidenced ways that you can avoid getting sick this flu season.
