GIRLS in the football locker room - a dream for most hot-blooded boys. For some female athletes, though, it is also their dream. Unfortunately, due to the recent sex-discrimination settlement to former Duke University football kicker Heather Sue Mercer, fewer women are likely to realize such dreams anytime soon.

NUMBERS fascinate our culture. Their quantitative nature implies truth. However, as Mark Twain noted, "there are lies, damned lies and statistics." Using numbers when reporting information can be both useful and harmful. Particularly when it comes to politics and public image, statistics have enormous potential to sway the minds of the uninformed.

UNIVERSITY life truly dulls our senses. Natty Light, the routine of classes, and dining hall cuisine acutely diminish our awareness of the surroundings. Even the Lawn, in all of its usual splendor, leaves much to be desired these days.

I T'S A RELIC of our adoles- cence, something we all can relate to: the feared "birds and the bees" talk that our parents attempted to force upon us. It proves to be awkward and embarrassing, and no one is quite sure how to justify what is said. As with the father in "American Pie," it seems almost easier to lay it all out, uncomfortable and graphic as it may be for father and son alike. But the fact of the matter is that the conversation is important.

AS KID Rock laments, there is a price you pay to be a big shot. When you're so visible, it's natural to come under greater scrutiny and perhaps even criticism. In light of the recent proposal to modify the first-year housing application, the University owes its scholars the consideration every big shot deserves.

PRIORITY seating. In theory, it's a great idea. These days, though, it seems to be for Saturday afternoons only. The recent expansion of Scott Stadium is good news for anyone who ever missed out on tickets for a Virginia football game. The unfortunate reality is that for students, such amenities cannot compensate for losses elsewhere. Because we continue to face diminishing resources in daily academic life, serious considerations must be made about future projects. The recent College of Arts and Sciences announcement of specific fundraising goals indicates that the administration is finally getting its priorities straight.

YOUNG, intelligent and attractive. Not three words likely to describe most of the characters at the Republican and Democratic national conventions held this summer. In fact, they are more likely thrown around a place like the University.

IT LOOMS large in our lives here at the University. To some, it is the only proof of civilization in Charlottesville besides first-year dorms and Rugby Road. Ah, the glory of it all -- congested and crammed full of strip malls, State Route 29 (or Emmet Street as some try to call it) seems to be the vital, life-giving artery of this majestic college town.

IT WAS my first real "college" moment. I still remember the feeling of anticipation and excitement from that hot, muggy night two summers ago. I was finally about to be on my way. I wasn't on the Lawn or in Hancock that first night -- I wasn't even in Charlottesville yet. Flanked by two of the ultimate authorities on college, my older sisters, I was in the storage container aisle at Target.

MONEY well spent. Not always something written about in the newspaper. If looking for an example around Grounds, how about serving up a laptop with your next latte? Available at Alderman (as part of the new Cyber-Café), Clemons and the Science and Engineering Libraries, new wireless networked laptop computers are available for check-out.

JIMMY Hoffa for a TA? Talk about an education. This isn't a likely story, but the National Labor Relations Board recently ruled to allow graduate students who work as teaching assistants to join the UAW International Union.

EIGHTEEN hour bras and "No Nonsense" Pantyhose. Who knew that a quick glance at the lingerie department could sum up the identity of female leaders so well? The balancing act that women in powerful positions face is a difficult one to understand and appreciate.

A CRASH course on the University could be taught with just a few words. Not a fancy seminar on the history of Mr. Jefferson's University, but rather the real deal -- a few catch phrases to sum things up around here. The Lawn. Alcohol. Honor. Sabato. ISIS. Tradition. Self-governance. To better participate in the world that we live in, a clear understanding of one of our most unique institutions -- student self-governance -- is necessary.

HOUSING anguish. It's that time of year again. The Housing Division sent notifications for Phase III applicants in late February. These letters informed many anxious first-year students of their housing assignment for the upcoming school year -- or lack thereof. Though the University can be faulted to a certain extent for the dearth of available or appealing upper-class housing, no short-term solutions to the problem exist. However, there are serious safety concerns associated with the off-Grounds housing situation and students should educate themselves about these issues and work to solve them.
