MY FRIENDS never heard me breathe a word about The Cavalier Daily before my first article was published, but it is pretty much all they have heard from me since. My first semester the paper seemed so exclusive and intimidating -- I thought about writing, but I wasn't sure I had whatever it took.

Mark, a fourth-year Engineering student, had a common post-party craving earlier this semester: a sandwich from Littejohn's.

When most students think of University Hall they think of Cavalier basketball, but yesterday the stadium drew a crowd for a far different reason: It was one of several local polling locations. Camping out in front of the building usually involves an orange and blue display of school spirit, but on Election Day red, white and blue replaced the University's colors, and "I Voted" stickers were all the rage.

University students can find Stephanie Goodell teaching leadership skills in various capacities around Grounds, but over the summer, she was on the other side of the Atlantic, teaching leadership to a very different type of student.
