We uterus-bearing, sexually-active folk are no stranger to contraceptive methods. In fact, the sky's the limit with options to protect us from … how shall I put it … the unexpected products of our sexual encounters. And in the truest sense, there is no time like the present to consider the many birth control options available to us, each with their own unique personality.
Whether in the library or on Mad Bowl, it is impossible to avoid the fashion crazes which make their way into students' wardrobes every semester. Throughout 2024, trends such as leopard print, barn jackets and Adidas Sambas flourished. These casual but chic styles could be easily dressed up or down — a fashion necessity as students move from afternoon discussion sections to nights on the Corner.
Students who enjoy dancing find themselves immersed in a myriad of dance forms at the University — from K-pop to swing dancing and everything in between. Yet, students who have not had the opportunity to explore dance before college may struggle to find a place to start. One student-run dance organization hopes to change this — The Mighty.
In an effort to improve healthcare accessibility, U.Va. Health has instituted a mobile care unit that will provide care to underserved communities in central Virginia. The mobile care unit van will visit the Fifeville and Southwood neighborhoods of Charlottesville twice per month, on the second and fourth Tuesdays and Wednesdays, respectively. This unit will offer a plethora of services, tending to both acute and non-emergent healthcare needs.
Virginia women’s squash was back in action Monday for the first time in over a month when they traveled to California to take on Stanford. In a bout between conference foes who are both MASC championship contenders, the Cavaliers (4-3, 0-1 MASC) were defeated by the Cardinal (4-0, 1-0 MASC) by a 6-3 margin.
Students will return to classes Monday amidst two back-to-back snowstorms which blanketed Grounds over the past week. Beginning the new semester, students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities, including Greek Life recruitment in early January and University events later in the month.
As the adage goes, nothing lasts forever. Decay is inevitable — at least in concept. Virginia women’s swimming and diving has continued to defy that old phrase at the Aquatic and Fitness Center. Saturday, the Cavalier women beat Virginia Tech 215 to 85 while Virginia’s men were bested 198-102 by the Hokies. Coach Todd DeSorbo’s bunch has won four straight national championships, and there is reason to believe they will continue to be a frontrunner for years to come.
The 2024-25 campaign for Virginia women’s basketball had been a tale of two phases. The first was a ghastly start in which the Cavaliers (10-7, 2-3 ACC) entered the new year with zero wins against Power Four competition. But as 2025 arrived, so did a spark of hope. Virginia earned consecutive ACC wins entering Sunday’s clash with No. 14 Duke. A chance to continue a promising ascent in the conference standings arrived as the Blue Devils (13-4, 4-1 ACC) entered John Paul Jones Arena. Unfortunately, that chance was gradually fumbled away as Duke clawed its way to a 60-55 victory, and Coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton’s squad was left with another frustrating loss. However, the Cavaliers held a lead for most of the game.
With three seconds left in the first half, Stanford graduate guard Jaylen Blakes picked off an ill-advised pass by Virginia junior guard Andrew Rohde and drove down to the three-point line. One leap from behind the line and bank off the backboard later, and the three-point shot was good at the buzzer, sending the Cardinal (11-5, 3-2 ACC) into halftime with a 10-point lead over the Cavaliers (8-8, 1-4 ACC).
Tired after continuously being on the road and playing opponents throughout the academic winter break, Virginia arrived in Clemson, S.C., Thursday evening. While some may have expected for this fatigue to plague the Cavaliers (10-6, 2-2 ACC) with their lingering issues, such as inaccurate shooting and struggling to hold their own in the paint, Virginia stepped up to the plate and delivered.
There is an elephant in the room for Virginia men’s basketball. Some have whispered it during this 2024-25 season, in which the Cavaliers are a measly 8-7 and 1-3 in the ACC. Others have certainly thought it, but may have found it easier to place the blame of a lost season and a plummeting program elsewhere.
Anyone who has been here for more than a semester has probably heard the term “great and good,” a term which stems from University President Jim Ryan’s 2030 plan. The plan seeks to position the University to be the leading public university in the country. A key part of this plan is establishing second-year residential communities on Grounds and requiring second-year students — in addition to first-year students — to live on Grounds. To accomplish this goal, the University plans to build two new residence halls on Emmet Street and Ivy Road for second-years.
Virginia’s clash at Haas Pavilion with California Wednesday night was supposed to be an opportunity. It was the first game of a road trip, the Cavaliers’ (8-7, 1-3 ACC) first trip to the opposite side of the country, as far as possible from their early season woes on the East Coast.
Initiated in 2013, the University’s 2030 plan lays out the goal to become the best public university in the country. The 2030 website proudly announces a variety of accomplishments and initiatives including the University’s top ranking in free speech, a purported investment in faculty and an allegedly sustainable expansion into the Charlottesville community. Rather than reflecting the reality, the University’s description of the 2030 plan obfuscates stakeholders’ experiences and neglects what is actually a concerted commercialization of education. The 135th and 136th Editorial Boards of The Cavalier Daily believe that the University administration’s relentless push to commercialize this space risks sacrificing the institution’s educational mission in favor of a profit-driven conception of higher education.
Mike Hollins, currently serving as a graduate assistant with the football program after playing as a running back for the Cavaliers from 2019-2023, is to be honored as the winner of the 2025 NCAA Inspiration Award. According to a press release Tuesday, Hollins will be honored at the NCAA Honors Celebration Jan. 14 in Nashville, Tenn. The ceremony will be streamed on the NCAA YouTube channel, starting at 6 p.m.
Virginia football added another three players in the portal the past week, bringing its running total to 15. The latest bunch of additions is a trio of veterans to help dominate the line of scrimmage. The Cavaliers signed two offensive linemen — graduate Tyshawn Wyatt from James Madison University and graduate Kevin Wigenton II from Illinois — as well as a senior defensive end, Fisher Camac from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
With the Biden administration exiting the White House, the existing student debt relief program will likely be under fire. This program exists in the Department of Education which has overseen the successful cancellation of about $4.5 billion in student loans during the past four years. Not only has this program upheld one of Biden’s campaign promises, it has also advanced the accessibility of education. In contrast, president-elect Donald Trump’s proposed initiatives will harm education through privatization and budget cuts. And although the University has been rated the best public school for financial aid by the Princeton Review, about 25 percent of students here have taken out student loans as a part of their financial aid packages. Therefore, Trump’s new plans sound an alarm for the future of financial accessibility in higher education and at our University.
“I’m fine, how are you?”
They hunkered down, all of them, over the summer. They planned. Not for recruiting visits, or practices or games, though they surely talked plenty about those things, too. Rather, all the ACC men’s basketball programs and sports science departments swiveled their attention elsewhere.
Virginia redshirt freshman guard Christian Bliss, who has missed the season’s first 14 games with a foot injury, is able to practice but is choosing to not play, Interim Coach Ron Sanchez said Monday.
