After studying at the University of Chicago without a minute of journalism experience under his belt, Jacob Dallal left the windy city for the shores of the Red Sea.
To the casual observer, Small Hall is just another building filled with computer labs. But if one should happen to locate and descend the stairwell in the back corner, one would discover something quite different. There, in the dusty depths, a team of students are putting together a vehicle they intend to race in a competition this summer. The thought of a car race may immediately conjure up images of the checkered flag, the adoring fans, the rev of the engines, but the car actually is solar-powered.
When I first started writing this column, the editors asked me to come up with something original, new and edgy.
Being a somewhat egotistical kid, I pride myself on being adept at a great many things. I can, for instance, take a completely neat and well-organized room and, after living in it for a scant five hours, turn it into something that even post-prison Martha Stewart wouldn't touch.
Since opening its doors to students in 1819, the University has been cherished for many of its characteristics, from the architectural grandeur of the Rotunda to the University's acclaimed academic excellence to the great emphasis placed on student self-governance.
Students around Grounds have cooled off from the Bush/Kerry debates that filled the first semester, and once again the sociopolitical mood has shifted back to the criticism and defense of national policy. With every major political student organization stressing the importance of voting in the latest election and an apparently strict divide growing between the stances of the candidates, people have begun to associate the personality of parties with their respective presidential candidates rather than with party ideologies.

The departure from a gray public to a black and white, Bush or anti-Bush, public can be largely attributed to George W.
Okay, this probably is not going to be one of my better colum-ns. There is a small amount of free time; things academical in nature possess it.

Well, Spring Break has officially become an event of the past, and that means one thing: Every student must endure another time-constrained, stressful second half of the semester before summer arrives. Students graduating this year, however, have realized that the last care-free experience of college life has come and gone.
To some University students, the notion of moving to New York City after graduation may seem daunting.
Upon graduating from the University, many fourth-year students either anticipate or agonize about the career choices that lie ahead of them.
Well it's March 16, the day before St. Patrick's Day. Tomorrow we'll all be celebrating a day when everyone's a little bit Irish -- and by "Irish," I of course mean "obnoxiously drunk." This week also marks the end of Spring Break.
Each week, the Cavalier Daily asks a student 25 questions and allows him or her to eliminate five of them.
Once out of the cramped living quarters of first-year dorms, many University students feel excited, enthusiastic and independent.
This is my 21st column for the Cavalier Daily. Such a monumental achievement of journalistic grandiosity and excellence could not have been possible without the support of my adoringly devoted fan base. That is, no one would take my place if I got fired. To thank my readers for their loyalty, I will answer some of the questions that have come up in the mountainous piles of fan mail and give an inside look into the biweekly construction of "The Yankee."
