Virginia women’s basketball had surrendered more than 100 points in a game just thrice this century — once to Duke in 2001, once to North Carolina in 2009 and once to Notre Dame in 2019. Thursday at John Paul Jones Arena versus No. 22 Florida State, it happened for just the fourth time in 25 years.
Named after the short-cut pasta that originated in Italy and is commonly used in Mediterranean recipes, Orzo Kitchen and Wine Bar is nestled at the end of Main Street Market in Downtown Charlottesville. About a 20-minute walk or a five-minute drive from central Grounds and open from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. daily, Orzo provides a modern dining experience infused with traditional flavors of Italy, Spain, Greece and the south of France. While the service was slightly slower than expected for a rather classy restaurant, the food itself was exquisite and worth the wait.
Perched above The Doyle Hotel, Rooftop Charlottesville boasts unparalleled views and advertises upscale bar bites and an impressive cocktail menu. My friend and I went to try out the special menu items curated for Charlottesville Restaurant Week, opting for a three-course meal priced reasonably at $35 over their other options of $45 and $55. However, even with the beautiful views and an attractive price, we left feeling a little disappointed in our meals.
The Super Bowl’s iconic halftime show — once an intermission of college marching bands — now carries the weight of America’s entertainment expectations. It forces artists to distill their vast discographies into a grand spectacle of just 15 minutes. Super Bowl LIX’s showdown Sunday in New Orleans between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs will be bridged by famed Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar, who has the task of synthesizing two decades of his hip-hop excellence into his second — but first headlining — Super Bowl halftime appearance.
The U.Va. Health and Virginia Commonwealth University hospitals suspended gender-affirming care for people under 19 years old Jan. 31. This move was made following President Donald Trump’s executive order Jan. 28, which asserted that the federal government will not fund gender-affirming care. Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares consequently directed hospitals to preemptively slash care and cancel appointments, and U.Va. Health followed this direction even as the order has been constitutionally challenged in the courts. These court cases, brought by states, doctors and affected families, argue that the order violates congressional anti-discrimination laws in addition to constitutional commitments to equal protection and state sovereignty. Despite this obvious legal ambiguity of and patient harm caused by the order, U.Va. Health capitulated, choosing to enforce a legally questionable policy and compromising its commitment to anti-discriminatory medical practices.
Lining the entrance of Klöckner Stadium is a row of concrete columns, regally adorned with engraved metal which denotes each national championship won by the teams that call the stadium home. Together, Virginia’s men’s soccer, men’s lacrosse and women’s lacrosse teams have claimed 17 national titles.
Coffee shops are undoubtedly a cornerstone of University life, humming with the buzz of students looking for a caffeine fix. When students walk in to place their orders, it is not uncommon to see friends or classmates behind the café counter. These baristas certainly have their challenges, from long shifts to hectic rush periods, but they also experience a unique workplace community and gain valuable professional skills on the job.
Growing up in Los Angeles, third-year College student Simone Marijic had always been involved in music through choir classes and piano lessons. Last year, she was back in her hometown taking music lessons again. But this time, from some of the world’s premier vocal coaches in preparation for her debut on “The Voice.”
The University is home to a myriad of creative writing and arts Contracted Independent Organizations that provide communities of inspiration, feedback and learning. But where do students go to present their works to larger audiences? One of the most prominent options is the Virginia Literary Review.
Over winter break, universities all over the country urged their international students to return as soon as possible, preempting the possibility of travel bans or visa freezes under the Trump presidency. Similarly, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals applicants have returned to Grounds with a renewed concern about their legal status in the country. President Donald Trump has taken drastic measures since assuming office, including threatening to deport students who criticize Israel and flaunting the prospect of sending immigration enforcement officers to schools. Thus, the fear — and the need to plan around the possibility of deportation — is real for noncitizen students at the University. As difficult as the uncertainty may be, the University administration and student government must reassess their policies to protect any students on Grounds.
The Office of the University Registrar changed the deadline for students to withdraw from individual courses to March 19 after facing criticism that the original date was scheduled over Spring Break. The new course withdrawal date, changed Jan. 30, is scheduled for after break. This will provide students with more time to make the decision to withdraw from courses, and is in closer alignment with the withdrawal dates of other Virginia universities.
The Honor Committee will hold its second annual Honor Week from Feb. 9 to Feb. 14, featuring a series of events aimed at engaging the University community in discussions about ethics, integrity and the evolving role of the Honor System. The week-long initiative will include panels, discussions and debates. The Committee will address topics such as new increased transparency measures and the recent change to a multi-sanction system, meant to ensure fairer and more effective proceedings.
The long-awaited Grammy Awards presented by the Recording Academy took place Sunday. In the wake of the devastating wildfires that swept across Los Angeles this past month, the show was used as an opportunity to raise funds for those impacted by the tragedy and was a beautiful display of the talent that the American music industry has to offer. With show-stopping performances, well-deserved wins and an overall positive energy gracing the room, the night left online users saying “we are so back” after a few years of less than stellar Grammys.
The University Transit Service has made recent efforts to improve bus safety and enhance accessibility for UTS OnDemand, a free van service that shuttles University community members between locations after bus hours end. Goals for this initiative include increasing the accuracy of wait times and increasing the number of buses running throughout the day. Currently, students still report some concerns with the transit system.
From the St. Patrick's Day Ginger Run on Mad Bowl to the dorm-wide scream before quiet hours go into effect for finals season, Grounds has seen its fair share of unique, student-led events. In true University fashion, students will have another opportunity to partake in a similar type of unconventional school spirit, and to share a laugh, when South Lawn becomes the site of another offbeat affair — a Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan look-alike contest.

Tucked inside a small storefront on the Downtown Mall is Café Frank, a Franco-Italian restaurant founded by local chef José de Brito. My date and I had the pleasure of dining there during Charlottesville Restaurant Week, taking advantage of their $45 three-course meal deal. The restaurant serves dishes that have been meticulously conceived and prepared, leaving patrons to enjoy delicious food that is purposeful in its simplicity. Café Frank is well worth a visit, but the steep price of their menu makes the restaurant best suited for special occasions.
