Has anyone in the history of the world ever attended a fraternity house while sober? Am I the only member of this sad minority? Come to think of it, I wouldn’t be surprised if Plato and the Greeks were drunk on good old Greek wine themselves when they established fraternities, which a wise — probably drunk — man once told me were derived from philosophical musings in “The Republic.” And let’s be honest — unless he were drunk, is there any other way a smart guy like Plato would actually believe it was a good idea to put a bunch of fledgling adults in a house together to be supervised only by upstanding gentlemen like Sam Adams and his bud Weiser?

It’s probably safe to say singer-songwriter Joshua Radin never thought a medical problem would give rise to a highly-acclaimed fourth album. In fact, the Ohio native, who didn’t learn to play guitar until his late 20s, probably never foresaw an album at all. But after many twists and turns — not to mention the help of Scrubs’ Zach Braff — he’s here to stay, set to play Monday evening alongside A Fine Frenzy at Charlottesville’s Paramount Theater. Last week, Radin caught up with Arts & Entertainment to talk about his tour, his most recent album and scary concepts like the future.

It is humanly impossible to gain the freshman 15 — or should I say first-year 15 — and I can prove it with a simple story. You may have heard whispers of it behind closed doors. It is the story of the $8 banana.

The lecture hall. The universal symbol of collegiate education — a motif almost as prevalent as the red solo cup, the universal symbol of “screw you, Mom.” Yes, midway through the semester I have presumed it time to discuss that pesky, bloodsucking parasite on the backside of the unceasing party that is college: learning.

It only seems appropriate I take this time to discuss the plague. I’m sure you’re familiar with it. After all, it’s only been 650 years or so since the bubonic strain took out a third of Europe’s population. I am almost certain the epidemic afflicting first years on Grounds is equally if not more severe. To give you a sense of perspective, the plague is followed, in descending order of severity, by swine flu, mad cow disease and Ebola. We do not laugh about the plague.

Integrity at the University is more than an idealized notion. It’s also a standard of accreditation set by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The University last week defended the Board of Visitors’ botched June ouster of University President Teresa Sullivan, telling the association the school had not been compromised by this summer’s events.

There are some things they don’t tell you about dorm life. They tell you you’ll have to adjust to living with someone unlike you. They don’t tell you what to do when you get out of the shower before your 10 a.m. class and have to say hi to your hall-mate’s boyfriend and pretend it’s perfectly normal they chose to shower together in a public restroom.

I don’t usually read books. It just isn’t something I pencil into my hectic school-year schedule; if I’m reading, it’s bound to be for class. It’s not that I’m uncouth or uncultured — I can give you a list of very solid reasons. My fall television lineup requires the utmost diligence to follow. My phone buzzes too often. I’m sitting here waiting for my phone to buzz too often. Ultimately, it comes down to this — I don’t really read books.
