Five insights for the romantically confused

By Callan Blount | February 28, 2006

There are many difficult aspects to Virginia life: Parking, for one, is miserably minimal, the traffic makes you want to reconsider higher education and lines outside of bars on weekend nights make me want to scream because I am actually allowed to be inside and yet, I'm the one waiting. Another tricky part of being a Wahoo is that moment when you have gone on a few dates or hung out with a person you are romantically interested in and have no idea whether or not you have a boy/girlfriend.

By Clare Ondrey | February 27, 2006

Here at my research facility, also known as "Club Clemons" to lay people, I've been doing some background research on the effects of Spring Break on the student psyche. Boy, are the effects awesome. In one week, many of you, my faithful readers, will be lounging, drinking, clubbing and building houses. Wait, what? Ah yes, those of you with a conscience will be doing wonderful things for the good of humanity.

Perplexed Election

By Defne Gunay | February 24, 2006

With the polls opening today for Student Council, Honor and University Judiciary Committee elections as well as a variety of referenda, the University finds itself caught up in election fever -- or not. Second-year College student Abi Hymes said although she is aware of the elections, she is not sure how she intends to vote. "I know that elections are happening because of Facebook invitations to join groups and the Cav Daily," Hymes said.

Couch me if you can

By Victoria Brayton | February 23, 2006

On its debut excursion last week, the Couchcar received enthusiastic cheers mixed with confused stares from the University community. With "Couch me if you can" spray-painted on its back, and a #1 racing number displayed on its side, the combination of a love seat-style couch and a big kid's tricycle makes the Couchcar an unusual sight. "It was just a random idea that occurred to me one night," fourth-year College student Dave Lee said. Lee said the tricycle was found in the dumpster and the love seat was household furniture. After stripping the plastic seat off the tricycle, Lee constructed a frame out of scrap wood to attach the love seat.

Why I love buttons

By Winnie Chao | February 23, 2006

After spending the past week or so "studying" (read: watching the Olympics), I've "decided" (read: been forced to because of poor grades) to become a televised amateur ice skating competition commentator. The Olympics has shown me that, in order to be a successful commentator for NBC, I just need a hilariously funny name.

Chalking, talking and facebook stalking

By Vinu Ilakkuvan | February 21, 2006

It may not be November, but it certainly feels like election time on Grounds. With elections for Honor, University Judiciary Committee, Student Council and other offices right around the corner, many students running for office have been attempting to catch the student body's attention by campaigning -- and it seems that methods of advertising oneself are almost as numerous as the amount of people running for positions. Chalking, fliers, e-mails, talking to students in person, Facebook groups and more -- the list is endless.

Tulane transplants' two-toned tales

By Teresa Wood | February 20, 2006

Charlottesville is, geographically, far from New Orleans, and the University provides a far different atmosphere from Tulane University. So when the University opened its arms to those who were forced to evacuate during Hurricane Katrina, many Tulane students found themselves in a very unfamiliar environment. Despite the fact that Tulane has reopened its doors and most students have returned to the same dorms they were forced to leave only a few hours after moving in, there are some who didn't go back to New Orleans. Those, such as second-year College student Grace Allstrom, decided they liked being at the University so much that they transferred here permanently. "I had considered transferring from Tulane anyway -- there were a lot of things I didn't like about it," Allstrom said.
