Thursday evening, No. 22 Virginia women’s lacrosse (8-8, 6-4 ACC) brought a taste of Charlottesville to Blacksburg, Va., for the final game of the regular season against Virginia Tech (9-8, 3-7 ACC). With their triumph, the Cavaliers not only clinched the Commonwealth Clash, but stoked a fiery momentum going into the championship season.
The Associated Press called the race at 8:49 p.m. with 82 percent of votes counted in the Commonwealth — “yes” is ahead by a margin of 2.8 percent as of 9:31 p.m. The win means a 10-1 Democrat-favored map has been approved by voters and will be immediately enacted. The new congressional lines will be in effect until after the 2030 census — the next round of redistricting.
Hundreds of students joined former University President Jim Ryan Wednesday at the Rotunda to embark on a Run with Jim, from the Jefferson Statue in front of the Rotunda to Scott Stadium and back. The run was organized by the Fourth-Year Trustees — the Class of 2026 Council — and was the second Run with Jim since his resignation last June.
Swarms of killer robot drones. Artificial intelligence-assisted malware programs that hack through critical systems. Perfectly-engineered diseases designed by malicious algorithms. Today, society is constantly mulling over the question of how the threat of machine intelligence will manifest. Indeed, the AI revolution is coming to Charlottesville, but in far more subtle ways than many would imagine. Amid many incremental changes bringing AI into the area, two of the city’s most prominent parking garages have integrated AI with their payment systems to track how long cars have been parked, before seamlessly charging drivers. However, there is a dark side to this technological marvel. Major difficulties surrounding billing malfunctions and data security have emerged. But beyond just these technical issues, the new automated parking system should seriously concern Charlottesville residents about exploitative company data brokering, and immediately be reconsidered.
Wednesday evening, Room 101B in Student Health and Wellness was transformed into a cinema-meets-bingo night. Light refreshments, including Oreos, SkinnyPop and lemonade, filled the tables as students trickled in, taking their places at tables with bingo cards placed in front of them. As participants settled in, an episode of “Love Island” began to play.

University faculty provide students with a wealth of knowledge and foster new ideas. One professor bridged the gap between the history of the University and plans for its future by delivering an address titled “The Legacy of Thomas Jefferson,” advocating to restore the use of the amphitheater for the arts. Outside of teaching, professors write books, conduct research and win awards. They have garnered national and international attention of varying kinds, from being accused of communism to being recognized by a prestigious British organization to being asked to serve the president of the United States.
Following a second-place team finish at the Calusa Cup, the Cavaliers held a homecoming tournament this week — the Lewis Chitengwa Memorial at Birdwood Golf Club.

From writing for mainstream staples like “Saturday Night Live” to acting on cult favorites like “The Eric Andre Show,” Hannibal Buress has flexed his laid-back comedy chops since his career began over 20 years ago. After taking a brief detour from comedy to pursue music as the rapper Eshu Tune in 2022, Buress resumed a packed schedule of stand-up dates, performing in clubs all over the country. His current tour brought him back to Jefferson Theater Tuesday for the first time since 2024, and he delivered a hilarious performance that proved his staying power is well deserved.

The stretch between when spring finally comes and the arrival of final exams seems to be its own strange season. Anxious students reread textbooks and pack libraries, and for many, there are but a few slivers of time that are not claimed by some responsibility or engagement. It is easy to feel as though rest taken now sets up additional stress in the future, but these four songs push against that logic. They back the belief that moments of recollection are necessary and productive, allowing the concept of a mental break to exist not in opposition to work but as part of it.
Saturday afternoon, Barrio Fiesta returned to the Martin Luther King Jr. Performing Arts Center, blending humor, vulnerability and tradition into something much deeper than a typical showcase. The 33rd annual Barrio Fiesta — hosted by the Organization of Young Filipino Americans — centered this year’s theme on legacy. Established in 1988, OYFA — a Contracted Independent Organization — connects students at the University with Filipino culture through dedicated events and community-building, with the Barrio showcase being a staple artistic event of theirs each spring.

The Iranian war looms large in the minds of students at the University. Some have friends and family who live in fear of American, Iranian or Israeli bombs. Some wake up shocked to see gas prices higher than they were the day prior. Some are proud of the deposition of the dictator Ali Khamenei as a signal of greater American security and Iranian liberty. Some see this war as an act of blackmail to a state that has its own controversial human rights issues. Many students hold opinions on the issue, common sentiments that have produced meaningful protests in the past. Discussing throughlines with past protests can give insight into how the student body can, and should, protest actions it deems unsatisfactory in a period of economic and political turmoil. However, intentional misrememberings of history threaten the perceived legitimacy and motivation of future protests.
