The Cavaliers (10-5, 3-3 ACC) took a momentous 3-2 victory over the Tar Heels (12-3, 5-1 ACC) in dramatic fashion, coming back from a two-point deficit at halftime to score three goals within seven minutes in the third quarter.

In a legacy-defining game for Coach Tony Elliott, the Cavaliers (2-5, 1-2 ACC) bested the No. 10 Tar Heels (6-1, 3-1 ACC) off of a game-winning interception by junior linebacker James Jackson.

Ben Sloan, Charlottesville resident and English professor who has taught at Piedmont Virginia Community College and the Fluvanna Correctional Center for Women, recently published his second book, entitled “Then On Out Into a Cloudless Sky.” The collection of poetry — depicting stories of childhood memories, longing for connection and many more — draws inspiration from the experiences of others, including his own students.

Three months ago, the 118th Congress became seemingly enthralled with the plot of Mean Girls, so much so that they started reenacting its characters inside the U.S. Capitol. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) was the attention-loving Regina George, former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy was the exiled Cady Heron and the ever-neglected school principal was the U.S. economy. However, the reality is far from a comedy — the potential for a government shutdown continues to loom over the head of every American. The impact is particularly potent for Virginia residents because the state relies on a stable federal government to maintain its gross domestic product. The University also requires a strong federal government in order to function. As such, we as students must not become normed to the stagnance and dysfunction that have characterized budget talks. We must, instead, remain cognizant of the threat of a government shutdown that could endanger our education.
First-year College students Jackson Sleadd and Harini Thiruvengadam were recently elected as President and Vice President, respectively, of the First-Year Council for the academic year.

Following its first ACC victory in the Commonwealth Clash against Virginia Tech Sunday, Virginia women’s soccer secured another victory Thursday night against Miami in Klöckner Stadium. While the Hurricanes (3-8-4, 2-5-1 ACC) were able to hold a strong defensive front against the Cavaliers (7-3-5, 2-3-3-ACC) for most of the game, Virginia struck late to grab a 1-0 victory.
Spectrum Theatre staged the first of four performances of “Fun Home” Oct. 19, bringing the moving musical to an audience of friends, family members and fellow University students in the Student Activities Building. Spectrum is an independent student-run organization which aims to provoke dialogue through theatre, and “Fun Home” is a perfect fit for this objective, focusing on themes surrounding family, memory and queer identity.
The college application process is more competitive than ever as the number of college applicants continues to increase and acceptance rates decline at universities across the nation. Numerous applicants opt to apply during the early decision round — a binding system that provides students with earlier notification of an admission decision — due to a number of reasons, ranging from personal preference to higher than average rates of admission. A drawback of students applying early decision is that they are given their acceptance and financial package simultaneously, meaning they often forgo knowing what aid they might receive from other colleges before they ultimately have to commit to a school. This puts applicants reliant on aid — who are primarily minority students — at a disadvantage.
We are days away from one of Virginia’s most crucial elections of the year. No, it’s not for president, nor for governor — in less than two weeks, Albemarle County and Charlottesville will vote on the members of the local school board. Unfortunately, voters do not tend to view these elections as important — only 5 to 10 percent of Americans even show up for school board elections, compromising the degree of voter input in these crucial elections.
Chinchilla Café is not exactly a café, but they do have chinchillas — and so much more. A Google search for “Chinchilla Café, Charlottesville” will yield tour dates of bands, Reddit pages and local news articles, but none will deliver an address you can quickly plug into your GPS by itself. That’s because — unlike other popular music venues in Charlottesville — Chinchilla Café is a DIY venue run out of the living room of four activists’ shared home.
