This week’s From the Archives looks at strange, provocative or misleading headlines published in The Cavalier Daily over the years. From rock ’n’ roll pranks in the 1950s to passionate op-eds in the 1960s, freakish music reviews in the 70s to tax cuts for bigotry in the 80s and nostalgia for the Cold War in the 90s to defense of affirmative action in the 2000s, the articles show how much work a headline can do.1950sJan. 10, 1957“Post Office Sweats It Out As ‘Cool Cat’ Letters Continue”By no authorTwo University students, Drew McDonald and Jim Brooks, were plagued by hundreds of letters following the publication of two letters in “Dig Magazine”, a “Rock ’n’ Roll” volume. The published letters were thought to be written by McDonald’s roommate, who denied writing them, but each letter begged for “cool chicks” to write to the University students. Brooks received 367 letters and McDonald received 426, both from almost every state, although McDonald also received a “thoughtful” photograph of a Californian girl in a semi-nude condition.1960sJan. 10, 1964“How To Lose Greatness”By no authorWhile it was originally published in the Richmond News Leader, the editorial board of The Cavalier Daily fully endorses this passionate response to Senator William F. Stone’s disparaging remarks about out-of-state students. The title, however, implies instructions on how to fumble glory, possibly the world’s least popular self-help manual.1970sJan. 20, 1977“A portrait of the artist as a young freak”By Scott MilburnPhotos by unknown Milburn begins with a summary of Frank Zappa’s musical career, covering critiques ranging from "preeminent rock genius” to “disgusting pervert.” He examines Zappa’s most recent album, “Zoot Allures”, with both of these views in mind, complimenting Zappa’s lyricism and wide-ranging skill, while acknowledging the odd style choices that earned him the “freak” label.1980sJan. 21, 1982“Reagan plan subsidizes racism”By Michael LesherPhotos by Sean MahanLesher attacks former President Ronald Reagan’s social and economic policies, lambasting his cutbacks on government programs supporting the poor while granting tax-exempt status to segregated universities. While Reagan’s defenders argue that these policies will reduce federal regulations, Lesher believes that they fulfill Americans’ fears about the administration while incentivising racism.1990sJan. 22, 1996“How I learned to stop worrying and love Cold War”By Rawley VaughanPhotos by Kendra DunnVaughan argues that the terror and nuclear panic of the Cold War was preferable to the uncertainty following its end, as the structure of the largely-combatless conflict meant citizens could at least trust where the threats were coming from. While former Soviet leaders Nikita Kruschev and Leonid Breshnev were terrifying, Vaughan preferred a consolidated, obvious threat to the shadowy nuclear actors of the “post-Cold War” world.2000sJan. 19, 2006“Re-segregating our nation’s universities”By Rajesh JainPhotos by Joe ShaverWhile the title suggests a dramatic regression, the article actually focuses on an anti-affirmative action bill in Michigan, which Jain cautions Virginia to avoid. He argues that affirmative action allows more diverse voices in universities and that without it, the University would suffer a loss of intellectual stimulation, and promising voices would be denied. Jain sees a loss of affirmative action as a loss of minorities and a return to the segregated universities of days past.

A hush lies over Scott Stadium as Virginia enters its first full month without a history-making football team bringing energy to the University since July. But spring in Charlottesville does not mean Virginia Athletics is slowing down. In fact, it picks up, as many winter sports are already in full swing, and spring sports — some of Virginia’s most successful — approach the season’s beginning.

I was eating lunch with a group of new friends in Newcomb dining hall at the beginning of last semester when they asked me the question that never fails to fill me with anxiety — “Do you want to go out with us this weekend?” The bite of pizza I took just before hardened in my mouth as stress stripped me of any appetite. After a few moments of awkward silence and hesitant chewing, I admitted that I had never gone out before. Their eyes widened and heads tilted, clearly wondering how I — a college student — had never been to a party.

In a Monday afternoon dual at the Chewning Tennis Center, No. 14 Virginia fell 6-1 to No. 3 North Carolina, marking their first loss of the spring dual season.

Facing one of the nation’s best lineups — which fielded five ranked singles players and two ranked doubles pairings — the Cavaliers battled through an exciting doubles phase and several long singles matches.
