1950s
UAs a part of its ongoing Judiciary Week, a week of programming that aims to increase student trust in the University Judiciary Committee, the Committee held its first ever public, hazing mock trial Monday. The mock trial was an attempt to increase transparency surrounding how UJC processes hazing cases. With the intent to both inform and entertain, the hypothetical student organization “Dumbledore’s Army” was found guilty of hazing and sanctioned by a UJC trial panel, putting the typically private UJC case process on full display.
As spring arrives on Grounds and students flock to the Lawn with picnic blankets, guitars and frisbees, graduate College student Santiago Pinto heads up the steps of the Rotunda carrying a less recognizable object — a Cyr wheel.
After a disjointed opening, No. 4 Virginia men's lacrosse (7-1, 0-0 ACC) emerged from halftime rejuvenated, dumping in nine third-quarter goals Tuesday at Klöckner Stadium and sailing to a 16-10 victory over Albany (2-5, 1-0 America East). The monstrous third quarter displayed all of Virginia’s trademark offensive power and cemented a pair of individual records.
The University offered admission to 1,993 regular decision applicants March 15, bringing the overall acceptance rate for the Class of 2028 to 16.38 percent. This marks a slight increase in acceptance rate from last year, when the University accepted a total of 9,190 students out of 56,439 total applicants for an acceptance rate of 16.2 percent.
Student Council members approved 17 student organizations for Contracted Independent Organization status at a general body meeting Tuesday. Organizations spanned across several spheres, from cultural and identity-based groups, such as the Traditional Chinese Dance Team, to arts and entertainment, such as the Bluegrass club. Student Council also heard a presentation from Madison House members, amended bylaws for its Endowment Advisory Council and approved changes to Student Activities Fee guidelines.
The University Judiciary Committee elected their executive committee for its next term Sunday. The new leadership will take over April 1 and serve until the same date next year.
After a disappointing series loss to open ACC play against unranked Miami last weekend, No. 14 Virginia baseball bounced back to win two out of three games against No. 7 Wake Forest at Disharoon Park this weekend. The Cavaliers (16-4, 3-3 ACC) took the series opener and walked off their third match over the Demon Deacons (13-6, 2-4 ACC), though they dropped Saturday’s contest 9-3. Despite the net positive outcome, Virginia yielded 29 runs to Wake Forest — proof of both a highly resilient offense and pitchers still seeking answers on the mound.
As the weather warms up and the cloudless sky becomes a more permanent fixture over the Rotunda, it is safe to assume that students will be spending more time outside. Whether doing work in a garden, laying out on the Lawn with friends or — perhaps most pertinent to the theme of this playlist — spending their Sundays at the farmers’ market, these songs provide the perfect soundtrack to underscore the sweetness of endless days in the warm spring sun.
Virginia marched into College Park Saturday and defeated Maryland 14-10, ending the Terrapins’ (5-2, 0-0 Big Ten) three-game winning streak against the Cavaliers (6-1, 0-0 ACC) in the decades-old rivalry and avenging last season’s crushing overtime loss. Coach Lars Tiffany’s comments postgame captured the energy and hustle that both teams brought with them Saturday.
Valentina Mendoza Gonzalez, incoming Student Council president and third-year Batten student, plans to improve the student body’s engagement with the Student Council by making its services more accessible and rebuilding relationships with underrepresented Contracted Independent Organizations during her term. In an entrance interview with The Cavalier Daily, she stated her intent to pay student leaders and said she aims to ensure that Support and Access Services — a Student Council branch providing a range of legal, financial and academic support resources — is accessible for all University students by providing more inclusive products.
The Honor Committee held its final open session meeting of the semester Sunday to discuss potential updates to the Honor module, a mandatory informational course for first-year students about the Honor System’s policies and procedures. The proposed revisions will feature more information surrounding academic integrity, incorporate informative videos and potentially require University students to complete the module again sometime after they matriculate. The revisions are planned to be finished by summer and be used to educate the incoming class of students this year.
No. 3 Virginia men’s tennis hosted two conference opponents over the weekend — Louisville Friday and Notre Dame Sunday. The Cavaliers (14-4, 6-0 ACC) continued to remain undefeated in conference play when they blocked out the Cardinals (11-6, 1-2 ACC) 7-0, and they closed out the weekend with a 6-1 victory against the Fighting Irish (9-8, 1-3 ACC).
Sitting down last week under overcast skies and impending rain, the unfortunate weather couldn’t dull third-year College student Jack Stepanian’s enthusiasm as he eagerly discussed his anticipation for headlining The Southern Cafe & Music Hall in the Downtown Mall Thursday. The performance will act as a release show of sorts, as his first EP “Made for Us” drops the same night at midnight.
Kacey Musgraves is getting back to basics. With “Deeper Well,” her sixth studio album, the Texas-born artist delivers a cohesive, quiet portrait of a woman looking at the world through fresh eyes as she makes space for what is truly important. Abounding in acoustic guitar, the 14 new tracks weave together earthy imagery and anecdotal phrases guaranteed to imbue listeners with a sense of peace, even if the lyrics sometimes fail to live up to their songs’ possibilities.
Seventeen-year-old country singer Mason Ramsey brought his “Falls Into Place Tour” to the Jefferson Theater on Saturday evening, playing for a sold-out audience. Catapulted to viral fame by a 2018 video that featured him yodeling in a Walmart, Ramsey has evolved beyond his yodeling kid roots to find his voice as an up-and-coming artist. His Saturday set showcased this evolution with a combination of crowd-pleasing covers and originals — and just the right amount of yodeling.
Students and Charlottesville locals filled Old Cabell Hall Sunday evening, eagerly waiting for the arrival of the Commodores, the United States Navy’s premier jazz ensemble. Right as the clock struck four in the afternoon, the 18-piece ensemble took the stage. In almost an instant, the band began performing an energetic arrangement of the Navy’s theme song, “Anchors Aweigh,” setting the mood for an afternoon of awe and amusement. With an exciting combination of 20th-century classics, electrifying originals and patriotic tunes, the Commodores showcased jazz in all its glory.
When I ended my multi-year long situationship in December, I did not know what to expect. Part of me thought that it wasn't really over and we would find each other again. But as the weeks passed, it started to sink in that for the first time in several years, I was truly single and alone — no school break flings or talking stages to jump into. I can't say that I am totally happy being single, or that I never feel disconnected from my happily coupled up friends, but this breakup has taught me to focus on the relationships that matter most to me now.
After a tough week for Virginia softball — the Cavaliers (17-9, 5-4 ACC) lost their series against North Carolina last weekend and faltered against Maryland on Tuesday — fans gathered at Palmer Park this weekend in hopes that the team wasn't losing its momentum as they faced Syracuse. They were not disappointed, as Virginia was able to come back from a tough loss on Friday and win the last two games of its home series against the Orange (13-11, 1-5 ACC).
