Virginia extended their home winning streak to 22 games in a sound win against Notre Dame Wednesday night. The Cavaliers (16-5, 7-3 ACC) started hot from the field, as graduate forward Jake Groves matched the Fighting Irish (7-14, 2-8 ACC) in total three pointers — doing so with his five three pointers in the first half of play. Wednesday night’s outcome is a reverse of the teams’ earlier matchup this season in South Bend, Ind. Notre Dame won that first contest 76-54. Earning wins in multiple conference rematches bodes well for a young and resilient Virginia squad, as the team is heating up at the perfect time with their 65-53 victory against the Fighting Irish.

I’m 22 years old. I can vote, drink, sign contracts and drive — although the driving part is debatable. In all legal and literal aspects, I’m an adult. However, I can’t help but want to act like a child again. As I roam the puddle-ridden Grounds after winter break and admire the ice-crusted branches, I find myself mourning the times when I used to climb trees. Sometimes, I think life would be a lot brighter if I allowed myself to tackle my days the way I would as a child.

On Jan. 18th, The Cavalier Daily’s 134th and 135th Editorial Boards published an editorial addressing the national discourse surrounding the role of higher education institutions in issuing statements on global political matters. They asserted that it is not productive nor reasonable for these statements to take a side in such matters. While the editorial encouraged a type of critical neutrality that both acknowledged indisputable facts and protected all members of debate, the implication of this argument, for many, is that Israel’s war on Gaza becomes solely a matter of debate, when it should not and cannot be. An end to the violence should be the priority, and the University has a significant role to play in that effort. In reality, President Jim Ryan, and all other university presidents, have a responsibility to speak for their institution on matters of moral imperativeness, and the ongoing genocide in Gaza is undoubtedly one of these moments. It is through these statements that a narrative of institutional values is continually crafted, a narrative to which we as students have a right to bear witness and a duty to demand.
