Virginia women’s soccer plays a style of soccer that favors long spells of possession, quick passes and control in tight spaces. However, in Sunday’s 1-1 draw against Georgetown, the Cavaliers (4-0-1, 0-0-0 ACC) were uncharacteristically sloppy with the ball at their feet, allowing the Hoyas (2-0-2, 0-0-0 Big East) to hold them to a tie. Coach Steve Swanson acknowledged afterward that Virginia’s usual standard was lacking.

The extracurriculars around Grounds have always provided a way for students to connect and explore their interests. In the 1950s, orientation highlighted the wide range of organizations available to the incoming first-year students from drama and music to student government. The 1960s article offers insight into the sports activities available around Grounds, specifically the Virginia Rugby Club. While the 1970s discussed the changing culture of fraternities, the 1980s shows the creativity of U.Va. students with the Bob club. The 1990s article focused on student publication with an advertisement for The Cavalier Daily, and in the 2000s the marching band made its return.1950sSep. 13, 1957“University Extracurricular Activities Are Described At Orientation Meeting”This article, which recounts an orientation panel put on for the benefit of the newly-arrived class of 1961, outlines many of the clubs and organizations available for students attending the University in the late 1950s.

However, as new independent groups began to emerge, fraternities were beginning to recognize the need to adapt in order to keep their status on Grounds. In 1969, Black students were pledged for the first time, and by 1970, the rush period was shortened and rushees were able to be more selective with the fraternities they wanted.1980sSept. 1, 1983“Society aspires to ‘Bobness’” By Kim HerbelPhotos by Bill SkenderisIn an elite social organization called the University Bobs, members, who like being called Bob, gather.

TEN GOOD REASONS”As The Cavalier Daily recruitment was underway in 1992, this article gave prospective members a taste of the different ways to get involved.

GatsosPhotos by Peter DunnThis article reports on the reestablishment of the University marching band, which had last existed at the University in the 1940s.

Virginia has won plenty of home openers. In fact, since 2017, the Cavaliers (1-0, 0-0 ACC) have only lost once in their first contest at Scott Stadium. The victory Saturday night is quite the start to the season, but a mark in the "W" column doesn’t tell the full story of how special Virginia’s performance was.

When former University President Jim Ryan abruptly announced his resignation this summer, it kicked off a wave of community protests. Yet, the real lesson is not that this turmoil was about one individual — it was the predictable result of a governance system that persistently sidelines students. By historically and consistently disenfranchising student voices, the University stripped itself of a stabilizing mechanism in its moment of uncertainty. The Student Council’s subsequent resolution of no confidence in the Board of Visitors — which called for transparency and student involvement in the presidential transition — underscored a larger problem. So long as students’ power is limited to an advisory role in the administration, governance at the University will remain fragile. This must be rectified.
