This week, catch a glimpse into the sports culture of the past. With Virginia basketball on its way to greatness and winter sports in full swing, take a look at the victories and defeats of earlier athletic programs. From ice hockey to wrestling, Virginia sports reporting captures both the excitement of the game and the unbeatable dedication of the student body.1950sJan. 31, 1952“Sportin’ Around”By Widdy TazewellIn this piece, Tazewell highlighted the Cavaliers’ boxing lineup, of which all but one were new members. He covers the newcomers’ boxing experiences, some coming from other colleges while others only had amateur experience. He ends the column with an anecdote about a basketball coach’s strategy and a recap on the division’s top basketball scorers.1960sJan. 31, 1961“Varsity, Freshmen Grapplers Bow to V.P.I; Injuries, Grades, Thin Ranks of Both Squads”Could you walk on to the Virginia wrestling team? In 1961, the Virginia wrestling program, after scraping together almost enough men to field both a varsity and freshman squad, still lacked the depth to beat Virginia Polytechnic Institute, or, colloquially, the Hokies. The “grapplers” were forced to forfeit multiple matches due to injuries along with other team members being unable to participate due to academic ineligibility. The team’s desperation jumps off the page. This article calls to the student body, in a cry for help, inviting anyone of any weight and any level of experience to step up. 1970sJan. 31, 1973“Up To Us”The Virginia basketball team is best described as “mercurial,” according to this 1973 sports article. Capable of both incredible wins and depressing defeats, the team’s success may hinge on an outside variable: its fans. The article urges students not only to show up, but to reconsider how they show up. Rather than cursing officials or heckling opposing players, fans are asked to channel their energy into “common courtesy,” citing “sportsmanship” as the winning formula. 1980sJan. 24, 1980“Cavs halt No. 3 Duke, 90-84”By William Rittenburg and Larry CohenThe 1980 Cavalier underdogs, ranked No. 17, overtook the Blue Devils, ranked No. 3 in a nail-biting game with Virginia being down four points at the half before making its second half comeback. Several incredible plays were made throughout the game, including Virginia point guard Jeff Jones who made four free throws in the final 53 seconds, and center Ralph Sampson who scored 23 points, achieved 13 rebounds and blocked three shots from the opposing team. Duke too, played an incredible game, with player Chip Engelland being described as a “one-man blitzkrieg.” 1990sJan. 23, 1996“Pucks still fly; ice hockey club skates despite difficulties”By Emily HeilPhotos by Roger VoisinetThe University’s club ice hockey team faced a number of struggles, many of which stemmed from a lack of funding due to its club sport status. One of its greatest setbacks was a lack of a home rink, which forced them to practice in Richmond and travel for almost all games, which impacted their roster at several games. Another struggle the team grappled with was the loss of teammate Brian Cooke in October 1995, for whom the team honored by the addition of patches on their team shirts. Despite these difficulties, the team still continued to the league tournament and continued to grow in numbers due to recruitment efforts. 2000sJan. 25, 2001“60 things I hate about sports” By Sam LeTaking shots at everyone from ’N Sync to George W. Bush, sports editor Sam Le critiques commercialization, defensive play and media clichés. He argues that the “sanctity” of the NFL is being eroded, while also dismissing baseball, golf, professional men’s soccer and the NHL’s regular season. While this piece is comedic and satirical, it is also reflective of early-2000s sports culture, as one of the only references to women's sports is debating which female athlete “looks better in soccer shorts.”

No. 14 Virginia men’s basketball has crossed a critical threshold. Many of the Cavaliers’ (16-2, 5-1 ACC) marquee ACC matchups come on the road, a fact that all avid followers of Virginia basketball were acutely aware of entering the season considering how difficult it can be to win in raucous road environments.

If asked to describe an undergraduate student here on Grounds, most people would give a description representative of someone between the ages of 18 and 22. And though only 0.3 percent of the University’s undergraduate population is over the age of 25, there is no age cap for attending the University. Despite this disparity, non-traditionally aged students bring unique experiences and insight to the student body, garnered from their adult lives prior to coming to the University.

In a statement sent to the University Board of Visitors Jan. 15, 201 faculty members condemned the Board for its actions over the course of the search process for the University’s 10th president, beginning with former University President Jim Ryan’s resignation in June. The letter stated that the Board failed to “protect the University from outside interference,” was improperly involved with Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), engaged in opaque negotiations with the Justice Department and rushed the presidential search. The statement also calls for the Board to be held accountable for these actions, potentially through litigative measures, and for University President Scott Beardsley’s appointment to be rescinded.

There are currently over 145,000 “English Learner” students in Virginia. This represents public school students who speak English as their second language. Concerningly, Virginia ranks sixth worst in the country in terms of its EL student high-school graduation rate. Clearly, from these statistics, a significant proportion of EL students in Virginia public schools are educationally underserved and comparatively struggle to develop English proficiency — a crucial skill that has been demonstrated to improve employment access and long-term financial stability in the United States.

After a nearly eight-year hiatus, A$AP Rocky’s LP “Don’t Be Dumb” dropped Jan. 16 at midnight. The fourth studio record by the American rapper, producer and fashion designer was highly anticipated, setting pre-save records for a hip-hop album with over 1 million saves on Spotify.

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.
