Got ballot?

By Michelle Jamrisko | October 15, 2004

By Michelle Jamrisko Cavalier Daily Associate Editor With less than 20 days before the polls open to determine the next resident of the White House, several students have voiced concerns about disorganization of the voting process.

"After 2000, anything is really possible," Haynes said.

The hookup on hookups

By Callan Blount | October 15, 2004

Last spring, the Cavalier Daily started what the general populace calls "The Sex Section." Having been the "relationship writer" for a semester prior to its creation, I have to say I was relieved. First of all, I don't want to write about sex.

Do it yourself

Break it up

By Hannah Woolf | October 7, 2004

A glance at the University calendar reveals the reason for those extra days off of class on Monday and Tuesday: Reading Holiday. Yet what started out as chance for students to study -- and breathe -- prior to midterm season has morphed into a freebie extended weekend known to students and faculty alike as fall break. "The original intent, if my memory serves me correctly, was to give students an opportunity to not have class to decompressurize -- is that a word?

Chick-fil-Awesome

By Eric Cunningham | October 6, 2004

Alright, let's see if I can make it one week without invoking Back to the Future or facebook. That first sentence doesn't count... "Do you want to go to lil jon's?" "Whaaaat?" "Do you want to go to lil jon's?" "Whaaaat?" "Do you want to go to lil jon's?" "Whaaaat?" "Do you want to go to lil jon's?" "Okayyyy" I used to force my friends to go through that any time they'd invite me to go to Littlejohn's.

'Type' A Personality

By Cliff Roberts | October 5, 2004

As pen and paper dependence fades and the student body becomes increasingly technophiliac, more students use computers to not only to do work outside of class, but to take notes inside of class as well. Some students find typing notes much faster and easier than writing. Typing "is much easier than taking notes by hand and so much more efficient in my mind," fourth-year College student Andrew McDowell said. McDowell did stress, however, that he realizes some classes are more appropriate for typing out notes than others. "It's easier for history and government classes where things don't need to be very organized, but for classes like econ where you have to draw graphs, I still write out my notes," McDowell said. Other students like third-year Commerce student Divya Sahay prefer using a computer to organize their notes at home, but find it inconvenient to take a computer to class.

Presidential roast and toast

By Michelle Jamrisko | October 1, 2004

Less than six hours before the first presidential debate between President Bush and Sen. John Kerry, students eagerly anticipated a night full of potential flip-flopping, made-up words and, inevitably, drinking games. "It's definitely an excuse to drink," fourth-year College student Matt Oberhardt said.
