The Corner is a hub of student social life at the University, and a primary point of intersection between students and the City of Charlottesville. It has always been known for its quaint collection of small businesses that endow the city of Charlottesville with a unique quality that separates it from other college towns. Unfortunately, over the past few years — and especially during the pandemic — independent small businesses are being replaced by large franchises. The growing presence of franchises and chain restaurants is destroying the sense of authenticity on the Corner — an authenticity that has long been cultivated by local businesses as gathering places for students of different backgrounds and interests. The introduction of generic chains only makes the Corner’s unique identity disappear. The University has a responsibility to repurpose its property on the Corner, such as the multipurpose space 1515, to help uplift the charm of small businesses so that future students can truly experience the town we have all come to love.

Virginia men’s soccer returned to action Sunday in Klöckner Stadium for a matchup against Indiana in the third round of the NCAA Tournament. The No. 11 Cavaliers (11-4-4, 5-2-1 ACC) conceded an early goal in a 1-0 defeat to the Hoosiers (15-4-4, 4-2-2 Big Ten), who extended their winning run to eight games and ended Virginia’s 2023 campaign in the process.

The collection encompasses a wide variety of identities under the umbrella of Indigenous Australian art, from Aboriginal to Torres Strait Islander to Tiwi Islander. The exhibit “Performing Country” displays a wide variety of mediums including body paintings, woodcut prints and canvas paintings that explore the performance of country and culture.

The University is anything but an economically diverse institution. According to the New York Times College Access Index, the University ranks 248th for economic diversity out of the 286 most selective colleges in the country, as measured by Pell Grant recipients. Since the last time the New York Times released this index in 2017, the University has fallen even further behind regarding economic diversity — from the 50th percentile to the 25th percentile. Even more appalling, the University is dead last among state flagships, despite having the largest endowment per student. These are statistics with which the University, as an institution, and we, as students, should be very uncomfortable.

Virginia could not stop the run, pass or finesse of the Virginia Tech offense in a 55-17 loss Saturday afternoon at Scott Stadium. The Cavaliers (3-9, 2-6 ACC) fell far behind the Hokies (6-6, 5-3 ACC) early in the first half, allowing their in-state rivals to secure bowl game eligibility. Junior running back Bhayshul Tuten gave Virginia problems all game, running for 117 yards and returning a kickoff 94 yards to the house.

When he’s not making game-winning saves or serving as team captain, Holden Brown, University soccer goalkeeper and fourth-year College student, is pursuing a pastime different from many of his teammates — art. Between poetry, sculpture, painting, drawing and photography, Brown’s skills span a variety of mediums and are never confined to a certain style or concept.

No. 24 Virginia held off a late charge from West Virginia to win the third place game of the Fort Myers Tip-Off, 56-54. The Cavaliers (5-1, 0-0 ACC) needed a clutch free throw from senior guard Reece Beekman with two seconds left in the game to put away the Mountaineers (2-3, 0-0 Big 12). Beekman stuffed the box score along the way, registering 12 points, five assists, four rebounds and four steals, but also coughed up four turnovers and shot just 1-4 from deep.

There’s nothing quite like waking up to the sweet, sweet sound of construction noises at 7 a.m. Unfortunately, for many students, this has been their reality for as long as they have attended the University — our school just seems to keep expanding. From the construction of Contemplative Commons on Grounds to the Ivy Corridor Projects off Grounds, University President Jim Ryan has jump-started his plan to make the University the top public school in the nation by the end of the decade by creating spaces to further grow our residential learning environment. The administration only seems to support development efforts within our community, however, when these efforts originate from the University itself.

Charlottesville City School Board’s ongoing efforts to update its public school naming policy by disallowing schools to be named after individual people has sparked debate among some community members. As the Board considers its policy, Charlottesville grapples with balancing the legacies of revered educators and addressing historical controversies while also considering public opinion.

Follow the money — or so goes the saying popularized by the Watergate-inspired film “All the President’s Men.” The reelection of State Senator Creigh Deeds is certainly not the tale of political corruption like Nixon — this politician realized the previous error in his ways and mended it to mirror the interests of his voters. For much of his 22-year career in the Virginia State Senate, Deeds aligned himself with several corporate donors, taking advantage of a broken system — Virginia is one of only five states without corporate contributions limits to candidates’ campaigns.

The University has developed several integral traditions over the years that every fourth-year student is obligated to participate in. In fact, these traditions are secret graduation requirements, so if you do not complete them, you won’t even be allowed to graduate. Believe me, if you walk across that stage without completing all the traditions, there will be consequences — to be revealed at the end of this lovely article. If you aren’t a fourth-year, you can stop reading now. But if you are a fourth-year, firstly I apologize, and secondly please keep reading for your own health and safety.

According to the International Studies Office, study abroad is essential in “preparing students for the challenges of the global world.” Given its importance, study abroad should be easily accessible to all students. In reality, however, study abroad is less than accessible when students wish to transfer study abroad credits to count toward their major or minor at the University — something which must happen for all non-University study abroad programs. The ISO has delegated the responsibility of providing study abroad information and approving study abroad transfer credits for majors to individual departments. In and of itself, this is not a bad idea. In fact, this conscientiously accommodates the differing curriculums and academic pedagogies of each department. In practice, this decentralized decision-making process results in an ad hoc system that can be unnecessarily prohibitive to students who wish to have a formative study abroad experience and complete their major.

The Cavaliers (4-1, 0-0 ACC) had no answer for the seven-footer, getting routed on the boards 48-21 overall and 20-3 on the offensive glass.
