The 2023 general election for Virginia is less than a week away. For two consecutive years, the Virginia Department of Elections has made significant errors concerning voter registration. As we near another important election, the voters of Virginia cannot afford to have such a careless and unorganized Department. These kinds of mistakes are absolutely unacceptable. Voting is a fundamental right in the United States and the Department needs to take that seriously.

Virginia dominated Virginia Tech 3-0 en route to their first win in ACC play Sunday afternoon at Klöckner Stadium. The Cavaliers (6-3-5, 1-3-3 ACC) applied constant pressure to the Hokies (6-6-3, 3-4 ACC), which paid off in a big way, allowing the usually lackluster offense to put three goals on the board. The Cavaliers went up early, scoring in the ninth minute, adding two more rapid-fire goals in the second half.

Freshman striker Stephen Annor Gyamfi has burst onto the ACC men’s soccer scene this season as an explosive goal-scoring threat for Virginia. Gyamfi has tallied an impressive eight goals and four game-winning goals in the Cavaliers’ (7-3-3, 3-2-1 ACC) opening 13 games. He seems to be enjoying it, too.

Packing for college is not for the weak, especially as a first year who has to prepare for all the “what ifs” of living by myself for the first time. By the time I had narrowed down all my possessions to the items coming with me to college, I thought for sure I could not possibly have missed anything. This could not have been farther from the truth, though, as my long receipt of Amazon orders within the first few weeks can attest to. In my opinion, these items deserve a place in your travel basket next time you’re on your way back to Grounds from home.

Virginia volleyball traveled to Notre Dame and Louisville over the weekend in search of a break of a three-game losing streak. The Cavaliers (8-10, 1-7 ACC) could not find the way back to their early season winning ways, however, losing in four sets to the Fighting Irish (10-6, 4-4 ACC) Friday and in three sets to the No. 6 Cardinals (16-2, 7-1 ACC) Sunday.

There is something special brewing on the roads, trails and tall grass of Charlottesville — as their regular seasons come to a close, Virginia’s men’s and women’s cross country teams find themselves ranked 10th and seventh, respectively, in the USTFCCCA Coaches’ National Poll. The mastermind behind it all is Vin Lananna, Virginia director of track and field and cross country . Lananna is a legend of the running community, with perhaps the greatest coaching resume in collegiate athletics, elite recruiting and talent development abilities and a clear vision for the Cavaliers’ program.

It is a dark and stormy night. You are sitting on the first floor of Clem, frantically flipping through your notes in a last-ditch effort to memorize everything you need to know for the exam you’re taking in the morning, when all of a sudden the lights start flickering. At first you ignore it — the three energy drinks you chugged are probably causing you to hallucinate. Yet, just as you are about to start googling jobs that don’t require a college degree, you hear a banging sound on the window next to you. It’s your class crush and they are somehow ugly now! Oh no! The zombie apocalypse is here, and your only chance at survival rests on you sticking with one of these three people.

The University’s early decision and early action applications close Nov. 1. The admissions office then reviews these applications holistically, meaning that algorithms are not used in the decision making process which takes into account a range of factors. Ultimately, such a process should produce a richly diverse incoming class whose variety of life experiences further the institutional mission and stated values of the University. However, this year, the entire higher education community is confronting a twin set of issues — the legal ban on affirmative action and the rise of ChatGPT — which appear to complicate the entire basis of the holistic admissions process and its stated goals of producing a “varied and dynamic” class. Despite the clarity of the new challenge, we have no proof that the University is adequately equipped or prepared to handle one, let alone both of these problems simultaneously. In fact, upon closer examination, their response to the ban on affirmative action is entirely undermined by the presence of ChatGPT. The admissions office must act proactively to address this threat in a way that accounts for the unique intersectionality of this problem.

From the wineries of Nelson County to the haystacks of Pittsylvania, Virginia’s 5th congressional district represents the diversity of the central and southern parts of Virginia like no other. In Charlottesville and throughout the district, however, that diversity is threatened by congressional leaders like Bob Good who exemplify a zero-sum mentality that seeks only to serve those in his party — who are overwhelmingly white. The heavy congressional redistricting that has taken place over the past few years has left residents without adequate representation, and the committee formed to address these problems — the Virginia Redistricting Commission — has failed to address this issue. With clear examples of how redistricting has failed our community seen in our district’s latest congressional pick, future commissions must be truly independent to transcend partisan politics, provide adequate representation and protect the voices of minority voters.

Virginia football is on a bye week, so for the first time in a while, a true evaluation of the Cavaliers (1-5, 0-2 ACC) at the midway point of the season can be had. Adding a tally to the win column last Saturday is a massive turning point for Coach Tony Elliot’s struggling squad, but the 2023 season has been a strange mix of frustrating losses, considerable progress and major storylines.
