A WISE man in a wise book once wrote, "Man has dominated man to his own injury." Though written over 3,000 years ago, humans have proved that we have not moved beyond this sad state. Hatred is still prevalent, commonly manifesting itself in the form of racism. Anyone who claims he does not possess any prejudices is not being fair to himself.

THE MARCH 20 lead editorial, "A declaration of policy," clarified The Cavalier Daily's "policy prohibiting its staffers to write for other news gathering publications on Grounds." The paper came under attack the week before Spring Break in The Declaration's letters to the editor section ("Writer wrong," March 7) when "Trudy Verdad" asked, "As a Cav Daily writer, can I write for the Dec too?" The Managing Board of The Cavalier Daily made the right move in addressing this issue in its proper lead editorial format. Although the editorial was well written and obviously well informed, several key points were left out. In light of the editorial's omissions, the Managing Board needs to take these arguments into consideration and alter its policy.

PICTURE THIS: An endless line of traffic headed down route 29; anxious pedestrians trying to cross the street; no available parking spaces at University Hall. Welcome to another Spring semester in Charlottesville.

ON THIS final day of voting in the spring elections, virtually every concrete surface around Grounds has been turned into an advertisement for one of over 100 candidates. Although chalking is one way of getting the candidate's name out to students, this means of campaigning should be eliminated from future elections. Instead of chalking, candidates should be encouraged to put their time and resources to better use by conducting a more substantive campaign.

WHEN FLIPPING through the Course Offering Directory, there is one letter many students seek to avoid: F. Although it is popular to arrange one's schedule to eliminate Friday classes, many students also shy away from classes with the "Begin Dependent Courses" tag.

THE ONLY thing worse than eating sub-par food is being told when to eat. Unfortunately, the University's dining halls combine these two unpleasant aspects of dining all in one. During the week, all three dining halls close at different times, creating confusion for students wondering if they will miss dinner. Dining Services is beginning to reexamine the dining halls' hours of operation, seeking student input in this effort. Continuing in this endeavor, students should offer their support, and suggest that dinner times be extended and standardized across dining facilities.

LOOKING at the pictures, I literally became sick to my stomach. I know racism and discrimination are alive and well in this country, but it is often easier to focus on the many positive aspects of race relations and glaze over the negatives. One quick glance at some photographs from Oct. 25 and 27 Halloween fraternity parties at Auburn University depicting white students in blackface and at least one dressed as a member of the Ku Klux Klan is enough to prove racism is not a myth.

ON FRIDAY afternoon a war took place at Scott Stadium - a war between four basic colors. In the battle for chromatic superiority, yellow reigned victorious, while red clinched second place, blue took home the bronze and green walked away dead last.

While sorority and fraternity members have been busy recruiting pledges this past week, an anonymous source has been working against them. A wide-scale poster campaign around Grounds, including the Bryan Hall columns, first-year housing areas and a spray-painted message on Beta Bridge, decried the negative aspects of Greek life at the University, where nearly one-third of undergraduates are fraternity or sorority members.

WASHINGTON-In striking contrast to the drab, any-other-day-of-the-year feel in the nation's capital during the day, election fever hit the bar scene hard once the sun went down.

WASHINGTON-Rushing up and down the Metro escalators, people from all walks of life scurried off to their respective corners of the metropolitan area. Briefcases or lunchboxes in tow, it was just another day in the nation's capital - except it was Election Day. The identity of the next occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. hung in the balance as the people of D.C. continued their daily routines.

"I've got a Wild Turkey. Wild Turkey. Who ordered the Wild Turkey?" he yells from behind the cash register. Wearing a black polo shirt and neat khakis, surrounded by six bottles of condiments and endless plastic utensils, he blends in with the other employees. He takes money from one customer as he rings up the next, creating a system that moves like clockwork to satisfy the hungry lunch crowd. After 24 years as Littlejohn's owner and manager, it's no wonder John Crafaik has the sandwich business down to an art.

Ding! A passenger pulls on the overhead line, signaling the bus driver to stop. The driver pulls up to the curb, lets off several students, picks up a couple more, and it's business as usual.

Enter through the Scott Stadium doorway labeled Bryant Hall in bronze letters and expect to find a conventional football stadium. A ticket booth off to the side, a sports museum on the left and a Hall of Fame straight ahead - all standard components of new sports centers. Tucked neatly away amid the glitz and glamour of the renovated football stadium are the University Career Services offices, possibly Scott Stadium's best-kept secret.

At a University boasting 10 undergraduate and graduate schools, it is not unusual to hear that students on Grounds can be whatever they want to be.

Rotunda, check. Newcomb Hall, check. First-year dorms, check. You've been all over Grounds, and you seem to know your way around all the major tourist attractions. But at the heart of the college experience is a wealth of information passed on from year to year that will arrive a little earlier this year. So before you put your foam mattress pad in the trunk and throw your drying rack on top, get out a pen and paper and take down some vital wisdom from your elders.

O-Hell, Ocrappatory Hill, O-Thrill - anything but O-Hill. Dining Services hopes to do away with this dining hall's less-than-flattering nicknames once and for all. A projected $8 million year-long renovation of Observatory Hill Dining Hall is scheduled to begin in August, featuring a virtual makeover of the entire building from the inside out.

"We should appreciate the University more. It's very easy when we become buried and obsessed in our long term goals and daily schedules to lose sight of the exceptional quality of life that U.Va. offers," third-year College student Tommy Sweets wrote. Sweets' response was one of 66 comments that comprised the Last Word project last year.

Jene Sandridge works while most people sleep. Monday through Friday, from midnight to 7 a.m., Sandridge drives one of the Escort Service vans and transports students from point A to point B. But it's not coffee that has kept this driver running for the past six years. It's the interaction with his passengers.
