You've probably seen the flyers on the walls in your dorm, or maybe posted in the bathroom stalls.
I have a problem. It seems really inane and kind of random, but here goes... What do you wear when you go out and it's cold?
By Demetra Karamanos Cavalier Daily Associate Editor Rushing out of their dorms, houses or apartments, students sometimes forget certain objects in the scuffle to get to class or meetings.
...there must be some Toros in the atmosphere. Well, it's clearly winter time, and that means but one thing: Eric whips out his beanie hat.
Barely a day after last month's tsunami ravaged parts of Asia and Africa, a small group of University students thousands of miles away from the disaster began a conversation that has developed into a large-scale relief effort. Students walking by Minor Hall Monday night may have seen signs directing them inside to a major tsunami relief fundraiser that featured speakers reading survivors' accounts, a bake sale, tea, souvenirs from Thailand and raffle prizes -- one of which was a $100 gift certificate to Jaberwoke. Students may also have stopped by the Buffalo Wing Factory for a bar night last night that donated proceeds to post-tsunami aid. In mere weeks, what began as an exchange of words between second-year College students Caitlin Howarth and Daniel Pike and third-year College students Andrés Gil and Dina Hardy transformed into a CIO called UVA-SHARE (Students Helping Asian Relief Efforts) -- the organization responsible for these fundraisers and potentially more events in the future. "We were all talking online, checking the news and watching the numbers of deaths rise every hour," Hardy said.

I lay on my back again. It was the third time I had fallen in almost the exact same spot on the exact same slope.
As spring semester begins, another class of University fourth years return to school in good spirits.
All it took was 96 letters. That's how many protest letters Tuttle residents had to write to their congressmen to win a free keg party Saturday night. The letters and party were part of an effort sponsored by First Year Council and the Student Council Committee on Financial Aid to combat proposed cuts in federal aid programs. If the cuts go through, they could cost the University over $2.5 million in lost aid, committee Chairman Doug Page said. Page spoke to FYC Wednesday night and encouraged representatives to get their dormitories involved in the campaign. "Offering a keg of beer to a Cavalier would motivate him to do just about anything," one Tuttle resident said. "I probably wouldn't have done it otherwise," she added. Page presented FYC with the plan at their meeting last Wednesday night.
If 19 and a half years on this earth have taught me anything (a debatable proposition, to be sure), it is that any so-called "icebreaker" game will end in personal calamity for me.
Peering out the window, we could see the glimmering Mediterranean Sea, the small, white houses and larger skyscrapers in the distance.
In The Cavalier Daily's last paper of the fall semester, I wrote about the sharp and radical changes I had seen in my life because of my experiences, my new friends and all the rest of the vibrant consuming life of the University.
First year is a time of myriad experiences, a time in which students meet countless other students, all coping and adjusting, all on the threshold of the four-year-long, life-changing experience that is college. Meeting so many people can be overwhelming and exhilarating at the same time because with each new face comes the potential to make a new best friend or a new love interest -- or maybe even both.
Amid the tickertape and cheers at President Bush's Inauguration ceremony yesterday, pepper spray, snowballs and flying shrubbery were used in heated exchanges between police and protesters.
While many students spent Winter Break skiing, cruising in the Caribbean or sitting in front of a television, some decided to make use of their time off by obtaining academic credits at the University. A new University program allows students to fulfill credits during a two-week period in January.
Professor Duane Osheim is a man with a seemingly endless knowledge of history who truly loves his job.
The closest thing this University has to rock stars is the gentlemen of a cappella. If you've been living in a hole (or just the Alderman stacks), a cappella is basically music sung without instruments.
