Ghastly wigs and grisly bodysuits. Magical capes and spooky masks. While Halloween traditionally entails concealing your identity in a scary witch or ghost costume, many people have altered the practice.
Big, ugly, red construction walls. These eight-foot-tall eyesores stretch throughout Grounds from the Aquatic and Fitness Center to Lambeth Field.

"To bring together members of the University community who would not have otherwise interacted in their usual social spheres, in a common goal of service to the global community and cultural awareness and understanding." So reads the mission statement of Alternative Spring Break, a fairly new and independent CIO on Grounds. The organization's expansive ideology is reflected in its ambitious plans for Spring Break every year.
A level of Dante's hell should be reserved for the GREs. And by that I mean for the nefarious, sadistic individual who had the brilliant idea of torturing poor (literally, the test costs $115) stressed fourth-years with a slow and painful death by bombardment of multiple choice questions. To all you lucky, blessed students who are ignorant of the Graduate Record Examination (which is very few I'm sure, since everyone these days is going to graduate school.
I hardly ever use an away message. Therefore, I often return to my computer after hours of absence to find thousands of instant messages from friends frantic to determine my location. Instant Message 1: IloveyouAJ07: Hey A-J! Instant Message 2: IloveyouAJ07: What's the matter?

Once again it is almost time to choose classes for next semester. The new Course Offering Directory was posted online late last week, and although many students said they were unaware that it is available, others already have begun thinking about their new schedules. Second-year College student Jeff Bean said he hasn't looked at the new COD yet, but he wasn't concerned. "I usually base my classes on what has the most interesting name," Bean said. He said he also chooses based on suggestions from his older sister, Echols reviews and how quickly classes fill up. As a transfer to the College from the Engineering school, Bean said he is enjoying his newfound freedom to choose classes he is interested in although he has been unable to choose a major. "I haven't taken two of any single subject yet except Econ," he said. Students who had already viewed the COD expressed different reactions to their potential schedules for next semester. Fourth-year College student Greg Nizewitz said there are fewer courses he wants to take this semester than in the past. "It just seems like there's a lot less diversity in the classes," Nizewitz said. As a history and politics double major, he said he will be able to find enough classes to take, but he does not expect to enjoy them as much as usual.
Eating lunch with a group of friends yesterday, I witnessed a phenomenon seen quite often: A girl in front of me was mooning me. Ok, she wasn't playing a practical joke -- she wasn't mooning me on purpose.

Townies. They're everywhere -- at the football games, at the grocery store, at the mall. And in your classes. Dozens of students who grew up in Charlottesville attend the University each year, bringing their own unique perspective on the pursuit of independence, the role of family and what it means to be a "townie." Going to college for most University students involves an actual, physical move away from familiar surroundings into a totally new environment, but for these students, dorms may be as close as a 10-minute drive from home. First-year College student Sarah Borish moved to Charlottesville before attending high school.
If you coaxed Tyra Banks into a little, flower embroidered basket attached to a bicycle and wrapped her in a blanket, she'd look exactly like ET.
From putting on ties and sundresses before a football game to taking it all off to streak the Lawn, the University has its fair share of traditions.
To the really hot girl in SYS 321: On the day of the midterm could you please not look so damn hot?
Gathering nightly in the Student Activities Building with a shared passion for dance, acceptance and culture, the members of Mahogany Dance Troupe practice diligently for tonight's performance.
We've finally done it. After traveling the world of cuisine -- India, South Africa, Cuba -- we have finally sat down and enjoyed some good ol' American food. Do not be fooled.
As you lie on your comfy couch, the fire blazes, the television special escalates to its climax and your stomach rumbles for food from local restaurants that don't provide delivery. Instead of being forced to pull yourself away from your picture-perfect environment, a new business, Take-Out Tonight, may provide an alternative to the daunting task (for many college students) of eating dinner.
Mexico City, Mex. 8/03 I've just been robbed. Three hours have passed since my wallet was pinched and my hand is still shaking, making it difficult to scribble these words down.
It has gotten to that point in the day when morning and night all start merging into one general sense of fatigue.
