One of the most challenging non-academic feats for first-year students is learning to fashion dining hall food into delectable meals. If you’re struggling on this front, these dorm snacks make the perfect solution. Here is a compilation of sweet and salty inventions that my friends and I enjoy — all from the comfort of our dorms.

Most transactions on the Corner are simply monetary exchanges between buyer and seller. But to Hiren Patel, business partner at the 14th Street 7 Day Junior convenience store, check-out means more than over-the-counter small talk. Known fondly as “Harry,” Patel greets passersby on the Corner with lively conversation and a familiar smile, nurturing a sense of community with students that extends far beyond his store.

University students can vote on a number of elected positions within student self-governance organizations, beginning Monday morning. The University Board of Elections organized and will hold the University-wide election, which also includes a referendum sponsored by seven student organizations. The referendum demands that the University audit its investment portfolio to identify any connections to companies engaging in or profiting from what the sponsors call “the State of Israel’s apartheid regime and acute violence against Palestinians.”

After three years of construction, Alderman Library opened this January and has quickly become a prominent marker of the University landscape. Arguably more important than its architectural allure, however, is the name behind the building which commemorates Edwin Alderman, the first and longest-serving president of the University. The Board of Visitors will soon consider whether to rename this newly reopened place of learning. Some argue that Alderman’s support of eugenics and his undoubtedly racist beliefs mean that he is an unsuitable namesake for a campus building. But such criticisms ignore the important economic and educational contributions Alderman imparted on the University. Moreover, in order for us to truly reckon with and preserve our history, both good and bad, the Board should refrain from erasing Alderman’s name and instead work to critically communicate the complex person Alderman was.

The completion of Alderman Library’s renovation project has revived library life at the University. Its proximity to the Corner and Central Grounds, the opening of Saxby’s cafe and five floors of beautiful study spaces have combined to create an attractive hub for the University community. Now that Alderman has come to the forefront of student life, students must reconsider Edwin Alderman’s legacy. Alderman was a staunch eugenicist — a proponent of an immoral pseudoscience that argued for the genetic superiority of white Europeans over non-white people. The very goal, and reality, of eugenics was to enact concrete legislation that enshrined these racist conclusions. The library, as his living legacy, forces students to pay homage to this evil ideology every time we say the name. In memorializing Alderman’s name, we are upholding the values to which we no longer institutionally ascribe. Alderman library opened in 1938, a time when his name perhaps did reflect ideals of the time. But we have moved past those values. Our namesakes should reflect the values of our time. Therefore, the library must be renamed, not only to properly honor the University’s history, but also to reflect our changing values.

For the past few years, the Honor Committee and its candidates have had a snazzy idea around which to center their initiatives and through which to mobilize the University community — multi-sanction. This was emphatically not the case this year. Rather, less than a year after the multi-sanction referendum, most Committee candidates seem to have become complacent, neglecting to adopt the necessary historicized approach to understanding the damage the Committee has perpetrated against our community. In the eyes of the Editorial Board, this complacency is unacceptable and at odds with the mandate the Committee has been given. So today, The Cavalier Daily Editorial Board endorses only one candidate running for College of Arts and Sciences Honor representative — third-year student Laura Howard. We hope that she will continue working to transform the Committee into an institution that is truly humanistic, restorative and intentional in its approach to upholding the community of trust.

When Coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton was announced as the sixth head coach in Virginia women’s basketball history, it was known that the program had a long road ahead in its rebuild — losing seasons had been the standard for the past decade.

This year, The Cavalier Daily Editorial Board endorses five candidates, each of whom are running for College of Arts and Sciences representative for the University Judiciary Committee — third-year Harper Jones, third-year Lisa Kopelnik, second-year Allison McVey, third-year Campbell Coleman and third-year Anna Prillaman. Each candidate demonstrated a commitment to UJC’s foundational values of respect, safety and freedom. Beyond this, all five emphasized a need to increase organizational transparency and a commitment to an ideal of restorative justice that genuinely engages the student body as a whole. We are confident that these candidates will advance innovative solutions to the problems UJC faces.

As thousands packed in front of the Rotunda for the treasured Lighting of the Lawn ceremony, a festive tune began to permeate students’ chatter. It was Kelly Clarkson’s “Underneath the Tree,” but instead of brass or voice driving the song, it was a string quartet — a four-person ensemble consisting of two violinists, a violist and a cellist. Playfully bouncing their bows and sliding along their strings, the Radio Music Society was right at home, employing instruments found in the classical genre to reinterpret a contemporary pop song.

Virginia men’s basketball cannot shoot free throws. This season, the Cavaliers are making 64.3 percent of their shots at the free throw line — that statistic ranks 342nd out of 351 Division I basketball teams and last in the ACC by over four percent. Pair this with Virginia’s notably slow pace of play and Coach Tony Bennett’s team makes only 9 free throws per game, a number lower than all but two teams nationwide — Hofstra and Army West Point.
