BACK IN his super-earnestbleeding-heart-on-his-sleeve days, the young Bono sang, "I can't change the world, but I can change the world in you" (this being years before he actually went out and tried to change the world), and, in a way, that's what I've tried to do in my year as ombudsman. It's not been my goal to transform The Cavalier Daily, but maybe to alter a bit the way readers, writers and editors approach the paper.

THE TRAVEL guide company Frommer's named Charlottesville as the nation's best place to live, and the CD reported the news rightfully as the leading news story on March 31. Quotations from city officials demonstrated the pride that such an honor instills.

PUTTING out a paper on a daily basis can be a very stressful task. Besides the basic reporting and photography, staffers also sell and design ads, write headlines and captions, draw graphics and comics and design and lay out all of these pieces on the page. During and after all of this happens, editors read and revise each of these elements. Last week, frankly, the editors at the CD fell short in several areas. The spring sun and rain and that tugging feeling that the semester is nearing its end may prove a bit distracting, but there is still time to sharpen that editing eye and make sure the easy questions are being answered.

LAST TUESDAY, The Cavalier Daily held a community concerns meeting during its own production hours at 7 p.m. in the Newcomb Ballroom. Representing the CD was the entire managing board as well as a few section editors. Representing the concerned community were, throughout the approximately 90-minute meeting, about a dozen folks from different organizations, from Intramural-Recreation Sports to the Office of African-American Affairs to Student Council, among others.

COMING back after Spring Break, the CD still was dealing with the aftermath of a Life column by A-J Aronstein published March 2.

SEX -- or more conservatively termed "relationship" -- columns have been popping up in college publications around the country at schools such as UC-Berkeley, NYU, Yale and ACC pals like Wake Forest and Maryland. Now, The Cav Daily has followed suit, with mixed results.

THE LAST pages of The Cavalier Daily's first section aren't the only places in a newspaper where readers can turn to find a heavy dose of opinion. Like all newspapers, the CD contains a fair amount of feature and columnist space in departments other than Opinion, the customary destination for angled outlooks on happenings.

INCLUDING a note from its editor, Whitney Garrison, the new Health & Sexuality page debuted last Monday with an open and honest voice that is refreshing, especially when these topics often can be difficult to broach.

THE TRANSITION from old to new staff at The Cavalier Daily is going fairly smoothly, with a few bumps along the road. Bumps are to be expected with new folks in higher roles of responsibility, and, as such, I look forward to watching the staff hone its talents.

WELCOME aboard to the 115th staff of The Cavalier Daily, most of which was elected by its peers just over a week ago.

LAST WEEK some Cavalier Daily readers exercised their writing muscles and supplied my e-mail inbox with interesting and important comments.

As the new year unfolds, I'd like to offer up some resolutions I hope the staff of The Cavalier Daily might adopt.

FOLLOWING on the heels of an impressive fall tabloid-size supplement on the football team, the Sports section last week treated readers to an equally noteworthy enhancement to daily coverage. Starring the men's basketball team, this supplement featured solid, well-written profiles on players, dramatic accompanying photographs, and, with a few exceptions, striking layouts.

LAST MONDAY's paper reported the news that 22-year-old Charlottesville resident Walker Andrew Sisk was stabbed to death at 14th and Wertland streets. Adding to that awful news was the fact that the alleged killer is part of the University community, third-year College student Andrew Alston. Treated appropriately layout-wise as the most important article of the day (and week, honestly), the piece featured a banner headline and a Daily Progress photo from the crime scene.

An integral part of writing for a newspaper is knowing how and when to ask more questions, to dig deeper.

IT IS DISHEARTENING to find that plagiarism again found its way to the pages of The Cavalier Daily. There is no need to dress up the disappointment, just to state it for what it is: a letdown.

Everyone's got opinions, but not everyone has the chance to espouse them in writing in a 10,000-copy newspaper.

ONE OF the trickiest parts of reporting is assembling a bevy of information into an article that just plain makes sense.

Packaging counts. I've said it before, I'll say it again: Packaging counts.

LAST WEEK in this space I addressed conflict-of-interest policy at The Cavalier Daily with regards to two Opinion staff members, Anthony Dick and Joe Schilling. Both Dick and Schilling became part of the Individual Rights Coalition, a new group on Grounds. With regards to groups besides student government, the Cav Daily policy manual states that:
