Ben Ueltschey, president of the IFC and third-year College student, said the incident led to the hospitalization of a student.

Both casual and chronic social media users have been stumped with the same question for months — how did George Santos go from someone who illegally spent his political donors’ money on OnlyFans and Botox to an apparent icon earning six figures from fans buying personalized messages on Cameo? Looking into the current rise of the informal interview tells us more about how something like this could possibly happen.

Universal Music Group, the world’s largest record label, and TikTok, one of the fastest-growing social media platforms in internet history, could have reigned the virtual realm together — but alas, the two have failed to renew their music licensing deal, resulting in UMG pulling its artist music from the app altogether Feb. 1. Now, TikTok videos that previously featured the music of UMG artists — like Taylor Swift, Drake, Olivia Rodrigo and more — have had these sounds removed, and new videos cannot be made with those artists’ songs.

The 2010s were inundated with big-budget blockbusters, with studios like Marvel churning out content on a yearly basis. Though many of these projects were well-executed, the formulaic approach and studio oversight led to these films often feeling safe or undaring. However, with his singular, unfettered vision in his newest film “Dune: Part Two,” director Denis Villeneuve has defied this benchmark of lackluster blockbusters.

Since the golden age of Virginia men’s basketball began in 2013-2014, the Cavaliers (20-8, 11-6 ACC) have missed the NCAA Tournament just once — a lost season in 2022. As the calendar flipped from 2023 to 2024, it looked like Virginia might miss March Madness for the second time in three seasons.

No. 6 Virginia women’s tennis traveled to Louisville Sunday to play at Bass-Rudd Tennis Center in a quick turnaround from their Friday match at Notre Dame. However, the turnaround did not appear to phase the Cavaliers (10-2, 2-0 ACC), as they easily defeated the unranked Cardinals (4-5, 0-2 ACC) 6-1.

Virginia men’s lacrosse faced Ohio State Sunday afternoon in a game that ended up being a tale of two halves.

The Cavaliers, though, maintained a buffer that never shrank to less than five goals and emerged with a 14-8 win.

Barring injury or catastrophe, junior goalie Matt Nunes will eventually climb to the top of the Virginia men’s lacrosse standings for career goalie wins. After Sunday’s 14-8 defeat of No. 20 Ohio State, Nunes is tied for seventh on the list, and with the better part of two seasons remaining to win 24 more games, he likely will get there. The issue is that sports tend to invite plenty of that injury and catastrophe, so it’s better to focus instead on what is happening more immediately.

The fifth game for Virginia women’s lacrosse ended in dominant fashion against Cornell, as the No. 15 Cavaliers (4-1, 0-1 ACC) defeated the Big Red (2-1, 0-0 Ivy League) 20-11 Sunday afternoon.

This year, The Cavalier Daily Editorial Board endorses third-year College student Brookelyn Mitchell for Student Council Vice President of Administration, third-year College and Commerce student Ryan Bowers for Student Council Vice President of Organizations and third-year College student Valentina Mendoza Gonzalez for Student Council President. Running together under The Voice Movement, their ticket is framed around the values of community, transparency and justice. While we have questions about the role Mendoza Gonzalez will play in a potential Voice Movement administration, the Editorial Board was exceptionally impressed by both Mitchell and Bowers and is confident in their ability to actualize tangible initiatives and bargain effectively with University administration to advance student interests. The Editorial Board believes that, collectively, this ticket will be able to uphold the mission of Student Council and appropriately represent the views of the student body.

Starting Feb. 26, University students will be voting on Referendum 1 which calls upon the University to submit to an audit of its investments and to subsequently divest from “companies engaging in or profiting from the State of Israel’s apartheid regime and acute violence against Palestinians.” The narrative surrounding this referendum has been exceptionally polarizing -– with U.Va. Apartheid Divest using the slogan “Divest from Death.” This seems to imply that we either vote yes, or we must support the deaths of almost 30,000 Palestinians. We can, and should, be outraged by what is happening in Gaza, and we can, and should, be calling for Israel to be held accountable for their war crimes. But the referendum’s simplifications do not do justice to the incredibly complicated nature of this conflict or allow for the possibility of a mutual solution — divestment is a tool for abolition, not a constructive solution.

The University has a rich tradition of student activism, dating back to thousands of University students fervently opposing the Vietnam War in the 1970s. It was a direct result of this activism that University President Edgar Shannon signed onto an anti-war letter to Virginia senators which condemned the United States’ invasion. In 1990, after around a decade of campaigning, student activists successfully pushed for the University to divest from companies doing business in apartheid South Africa. More recently, in 2006, the University approved a resolution prohibiting any future direct investments in companies conducting business in Sudan due to the genocide in Darfur. We honor the legacy of past students by demanding transparency and subsequent divestment from any companies found profiting from human rights violations and death.
