Faking for Franzia

By Demetra Karamanos | August 25, 2005

Your bar-hopping buddy may be a criminal. According to the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Web site, students who "possess, use or distribute fake IDs are charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor." Additionally, students who give or loan their ID to an underage student will face more serious charges than students who use a fake ID with their own picture on it to buy alcohol. University students apparently have no qualms about using fake IDs to get alcohol, as many bar owners and bouncers have seen an increase in fake ID use since last year.

The Hereford Redemption

By Dan Strong | August 25, 2005

Another year, another move-in day. As I watch all these first years unpack their cars and ready themselves for life as college students, I can't help but fondly recall the day I moved in.

Greet me

By Amber Davis | August 25, 2005

Greeter: 1: A U.Va. student composed entirely of good will and solid muscle mass; 2: An endless fountain of trivial knowledge about Thomas Jefferson and the University; 3: A source of relief for the Class of 2009 and their families. As I read this definition on the back of my bright-yellow greeter shirt at 8:30 a.m.

A brain spill

By Lindsay McCook | August 25, 2005

I was doing some required reading the other day (required reading meaning the newest Vanity Fair in which Jen finally talks about Brad), and there was an advertisement in the magazine about a writing contest.

Would you take back a cheater?

By Jessica Vanatta | August 24, 2005

Unless you've been living under a rock (or studying too much organic chemistry for summer courses), you have likely heard about the infidelity of super-hot actor Jude Law to his gorgeous fiancée, Sienna Miller.

A Kelly Clarkson miracle

By Cavalier Daily Staff | August 4, 2005

I think the greatest moment in American history went a little something like this: Two college-age guys are driving in the car when Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" comes on the radio.

Divided States of America

By Dan Strong | August 4, 2005

Orem City, Utah. They call it "Family City, U.S.A." It's nestled away in the northernmost corner of the Beehive State, in a mountain crevice lovingly called, "Happy Valley." Happy, that is, until Michael Moore decided to pay a visit. In October 2004, just before the election, Utah Valley State College announced it would play host to the nation's most controversial and cholesterol-filled filmmaker.

Thousands served

By Amber Davis | August 4, 2005

Approximately 17,000 guests and 120 conferences later, employees at the University's Conference Services are almost ready to close shop for what they have dubbed to be "one of the most successful summers yet." Catering to the needs of clients ranging from children to senior citizens, Conference Services serves as the backbone of all organizations and events that take place at the University over the summer, from graduation housing, to sports camps, to business conferences. Conference Services Director Sheri States knows the extent to which this organization feels the brunt of the onset of summer activity at the University. "Although we organize a few conferences during the year, the majority of our work takes place in the summer," said States, who has been working for Conference Services for nine years.

First-year impressions

By Teresa Wood | July 21, 2005

Wouldn't it be great to get paid to do what you love? Well, 28 orange-and-blue blooded Wahoos are doing just that: working as summer orientation leaders to show off their beloved University to the incoming first-year class. The multiple two-day summer orientation sessions serve as the first real college experience for the class of 2009, an occasion that can help define students' opinions about the University.
