Coke or Pepsi? Blonde or Brunette? In the following informal survey around Grounds, some preconceived opinions were confirmed, while other favorites were proven entirely wrong.
Buongiorno! Only last week Daniel called his mom telling her how much he missed her Italian cooking.
Autumn is here, and things are quiet around Grounds. Now, in the last few weeks of the semester, the work is flowing and the stress is building.
Ihave many archenemies in life: Anne Heche, Carrot Top, Celine Dion, Rocky Five and Green Ketchup, to name a few.But none of these beings hold any true power.
Like many homes with school-aged children, the Torres household is filled with puzzles, crayons, stuffed animals and shelves of books. Tonight, as with most Monday evenings this semester, three volunteers of the Migrant Aid Program are welcomed inside.
The nation's newspapers are calling Margaret Cho exuberant, provocative and brilliant. From performing in small clubs as a teenager in the 1980s, Cho has developed into a nationally renowned comedian.
The hands get you first. You don't actually cross the eastern Thai border into Cambodia; you are yanked inside.
I put my game face on: Dignified, uncompro-mising, chin slightly raised and eyes squinted as if my mere gaze is incendiary and will soon ignite the potted plant and ant farm residing on the windowsill.
Be warned: Pungent fumes may drift from the general direction of the Lawn today, compliments of the contents of two dumpsters spilled in front of Old Cabell.
How nauseatingly nostalgic. Autumn makes me sappier than a sappy New England maple oozing sap, and as cold air seems to have finally found its way back into the Blue Ridge Mountains, I find myself pining for days gone by.
HIEU 354 Modern German History 1914-Present HIEU 401 Undergraduate Research Seminar Q: Why did you choose to study German history? A: All history is contemporary history, but some is more contemporary than others.
While the American media frequently covers the conditions and issues of the Middle East, few University students can grasp the far-reaching consequences of the reports. Almost no one will ever fully understand the frustration felt by suicide bombers, experience the humiliation of passing through checkpoints on a daily basis or live in fear of enemy soldiers, but one student has. Second-year Engineering student Raya Yusuf is the only student attending the University from Palestine. Born in Jerusalem, Raya grew up in Ramallah in the West Bank with her parents and three younger siblings. She attended a private Christian school for girls run by nuns although she and most of her classmates were Muslim. "Over there, there is no difference between Christian and Muslim," she explained.
The bagel necklaces, the pocketed stuffed animals, the Caesarean leaf crowns. Frantic victims running from attackers armed with socks. This scene has become familiar on Grounds in the past few weeks, as most of the first-year dorms have set up their own Assassins tournaments, arranging for all interested residents to partake in a game that might be described as a cross between hide-and-go-seek and tag.
ACROSS 1. Police sting 5. Arrow complements 9. Sunkist and Sprite 14. Hater's prefix 15.
Walking down Rugby Road today, students are likely to see a new face. Not a new fraternity guy or a face lift on one of the fraternity houses, but instead, a smaller change, and a pinker change, a rounder change ... Delta Tau Delta's newest acquisition, Charlie, the female miniature pig. Even if you are not a frequent visitor to Rugby, Charlie is by no means a sedentary swine.
In the hiatus from home football games, organizations have taken it upon themselves to schedule their own events during the upcoming weekends.The Virginia Dance Company has jumped on the bandwagon along with others, making certain not to miss their opportunity.
In the words of the great Bob Marley, "One Love! One Heart! Let's get together and feel all right." This song, and others like it, greeted us last night as we sat down for a meal in the fairly new Garden of Sheba, an Afro-Carribean restaurant located just past the Downtown Mall on East Market Street, across from the parking garage. We walked up to the restaurant very disappointed that we could not sit in the courtyard dining area due to the torrential downpour.
Thanks to the guy who straightened out the mess in the tray deposit of Newcomb Hall today. If everyone were as responsible as you, the belt wouldn't have gotten overloaded in the first place, and the University would be a much cleaner place to live. -- Appreciating Civic Duty Look, if you're going to get to class 10 minutes early, for the love of God, do not sit right on the aisle so everyone else has to climb over you.
Once upon a time names like Johnny Chan, Phil Hellmuth Jr. and Chris Moneymaker were just that -- names.
It only took me two weeks at the University my first year to find a guy I wanted to date. As one of my best friends said to me last year, I am always up to something (and I am). So, I did the typical girl things that would help me get this guy to like me.
