With one of the University’s favorite traditions upon us — the football game against Virginia Tech — here is a list of other unique traditions and aspects of life at the University. Virginia Tech could only dream of being a part of these University traditions.

Smyrna is one of Charlottesville’s hottest new restaurants, and for good reason. They serve artfully simple Mediterranean-Aegean dishes in a relaxed, upscale atmosphere. I dined at Smyrna with my mom and dad over Parent’s Weekend. Though Smyrna is pricey, it’s a great spot to visit if your parents are in town to help foot the bill.

In the student elections of 1979, third-year history major John S. Serpe ran for the office of Student Council president, one of the most influential student leadership positions on Grounds. Luckily for Serpe, he was the only candidate on the ballot, making his unopposed campaign a mere formality — a march to victory before his inevitable ascension into office.

Over the past few years, there have been many calls to remove Confederate and other hateful statues that fail to reflect the values we claim to hold as a nation. In Charlottesville, community activists have spent the last few years working to remove racist statues, like those of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, and these activists have been successful in their endeavors. This work is necessary and must be continued, but it is not enough on its own. The City of Charlottesville must now be intentional about what it chooses to leave in the wake of these segregationist symbols. Specifically, the City should be looking to remedy the disturbing lack of female statues in Charlottesville — today, only one statue of a woman exists in Charlottesville, an anonymous woman’s head as part of an abstract sculpture titled “Family,” located outside of an old jail, formally known as Historic Albemarle County Jail No. 5. Women deserve to be equally represented in our communities through an impactful approach that goes beyond symbolic or ambiguous statues and honors actual, real-life historical women who changed our world or bettered their communities.

It will be exactly one decade Nov. 19 since Creigh Deeds, Charlottesville’s state senator, lost his son Gus Deeds to suicide. Gus Deeds was a victim of a critically overcrowded and underfunded health system, and his suicide was a shocking and tragic event that impelled significant and novel legislative changes to the Commonwealth’s mental health policies. For example, Senate Bill 260, spearheaded by Creigh Deeds, guaranteed that Virginians admitted to hospitals under temporary detention orders have the right to receive timely psychiatric consultation, even if the hospitals are at capacity. This was an exceptionally important bill. However, today, Virginia still remains severely behind other states in regards to the quality of mental health care provided to residents — 34th in the country for access to care and, more disturbingly, 48th in the prevalence of mental illness in young people. On the surface, Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s new Right Help Right Now plan — which laudably invests in community-based health initiatives — has the potential to serve as a salient solution to this ongoing crisis. Youngkin’s failure to legislate with an eye towards equity, however, only worsens Virginia’s mental health crisis for the marginalized communities who are most in need of the assistance offered by this plan.

Virginia men’s basketball took on Florida Friday night in Charlotte, N.C. in its second game of the season. The Cavaliers (2-0, 0-0 ACC) relied on their bench — namely freshman forward Blake Buchanan — to get downhill and to the free-throw line against the Gators (1-1, 0-0 SEC). The teams shared back-and-forth buckets down the stretch until Virginia forced two turnovers to close out the game, coming away with a nail-biting 73-70 victory.

The College of Arts and Sciences held a remembrance space for members of the University community Friday in honor of the approaching one-year anniversary of the Nov. 13 shooting that left three students dead — football players and University students Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr. and D’Sean Perry — and two others injured. Instead of holding a formal program, the event offered 90 minutes of open space in Old Cabell Hall for students and faculty to reflect, commune and cope.

Sometimes, whether we have a social life or not, it can be hard to exist without feeling self-conscious about not having friends when doing things like eating or walking to class. But in times like these, it isn’t about whether you actually have friends or not — it’s about whether other people think you have friends.

First-generation and limited-income students gathered together during Hoos First Celebration Week at a variety of events taking place from Monday to Saturday to celebrate their accomplishments and create community on Grounds. Finding a sense of belonging is a struggle shared by most college students, but this can be especially difficult for FGLI students who do not have a parent or guardian who has been through the college process before.

In the regular season finale for both teams, Virginia and Virginia Tech square off in the 104th edition of the Commonwealth Cup Nov. 25 in Charlottesville. The Cavaliers (2–8, 1–5 ACC) have struggled at times throughout the season, but have shown their competence in the biggest games, most notably defeating then-No. 10 North Carolina on the road. Meanwhile, the Hokies (5–5, 4–2 ACC) have shown growth in Coach Brent Pry’s second season, but as fans of both teams know, the last game is always the most important. Below, writers from both The Collegiate Times and The Cavalier Daily share their thoughts on the Thanksgiving weekend showdown.

Virginia hit the road in a Thursday night contest at L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium against No. 11 Louisville.

The Cardinals (9-1, 6-1 ACC) were hoping to continue their success at home and secure their 11th straight home victory. Ultimately, Virginia played some of their best football, but the Cavaliers could not finish the job, losing the game 31-24.

While autumn is the quintessential season for baked goods, I returned to sunnier days to make my boyfriend an ice cream cake for his birthday this past weekend. The clear skies and mid-70s weather Sunday paired beautifully with a cotton candy, Oreo-caramel ice cream cake. Surprising my boyfriend with his favorite ice cream flavor from the beloved Moo Thru at the Dairy Market, combined with delicious Oreos and rich caramel sauce, this cake made our celebrations all the sweeter. This simple ice cream cake recipe is easy to customize and the perfect surprise treat for a celebration.
