Currently sitting in a three-way tie for fourth place in the ACC, Virginia has fallen slightly behind the success of last year as the Cavaliers shared the regular season conference title with Miami. A 13-5 record is nothing to scoff at, but a 1-4 road record with four costly blowout losses is certainly cause for concern entering the gauntlet of ACC play.

In fast-paced college lifestyles — where trends dictate conversation, friendships and confidence — it is easy to fall under the tempting influence of fast fashion. Characterized by the rapid mass production of on-trend clothing, fast fashion is inexpensive but wasteful. Economists are now promoting a “circular” method of shopping in which people rent and recycle clothing. However, University students have shown mixed feelings about the new method, suggesting that finding a permanent alternative to fast fashion will not be easy.

About one million miles away from Earth, the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope orbits the sun, capturing stunning details of space that have gone previously undetected. Any opportunity to use this infrared telescope, a world class instrument, is an astronomer’s dream. That dream came true for third-year College student Samuel Crowe, who is assumed to be the first undergraduate in the world to have their research proposal to use the Webb telescope accepted. Crowe is a committed scholar whose curiosity is not only his greatest asset, but also his strongest motivator.

Hired in 2022 to resurrect a below average program, Coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton has established a culture of arduous discipline from her first day in Charlottesville. Virginia had long been a conference bottomfeeder, drifting into mediocrity after the legendary tenure of former coach Debbie Ryan and her multiple Final Four appearances. However, the culture is rapidly changing for the better. While some may be unsatisfied with the current state of the program, patience is a necessity when trying to overcome years of futility. Agugua-Hamilton, a Herndon, Va. native, is creating tangible progress that will require multiple seasons to manifest in full.

The latest Israel-Palestine conflict has renewed debates about free speech in our society. One question has become especially prevalent — what, if any, role do university presidents have in responding to international, national and local tragedies? While this question has no easy answers, what has become clear to us — the 134th and 135th Editorial Boards of The Cavalier Daily — is that we cannot and should not expect university presidents, or other institutional representatives, to articulate developed stances on every single political and social issue of the day. To do so would be antithetical to the mission of any university which is to protect academic freedom, debate and dissent. As such, we as students must reframe our expectations for university leaders — instead of demanding explicit statements, we should expect critical neutrality that encourages open discourse and contextualizes debates. This is not silence in the face of injustice. Rather, we call for a neutrality that is characterized by its insistence on facts and deployed in a way that empowers individuals within the institution to engage in discourse.
