If you thought that this weekend the Grounds was only affected by the upsetting football loss to Maryland followed by a soccer win, 50 mph winds and huge piles of leaves that surpass Mt.
I have tried to avoid the front page of The Cavalier Daily lately.I see the newspapers neatly stacked at the entrance to Monroe Hall as I come in every morning for my classes. I pass by the stack and walk quickly up the stairs, not letting my eyes catch the front of the paper. In class, when lectures start to drag or my attention wanders, I will reach for other sections of the Cav Daily that were left behind by students in the previous class. I will scan the Sports section for news of a big Wahoo win, or I will check Arts & Entertainment for reviews of a new album. Of course, I also devour the Life page, with its thought-provoking commentaries on student life -- not to mention its clever columnists. But I hesitate before reaching for the front page, and I honestly avoid it when I can. I don't want to see the headlines. As you are all aware, our University community was stunned and saddened by the recent violence that occurred right in our midst.
I want to respond to "Bitchy on Brandon" from last Friday. It's to give them a big "Shut the f*** up" for what they said.

Autumn is here, and things are quiet around Grounds. Now, in the last few weeks of the semester, the work is flowing and the stress is building.
Ihave many archenemies in life: Anne Heche, Carrot Top, Celine Dion, Rocky Five and Green Ketchup, to name a few.But none of these beings hold any true power.
Like many homes with school-aged children, the Torres household is filled with puzzles, crayons, stuffed animals and shelves of books. Tonight, as with most Monday evenings this semester, three volunteers of the Migrant Aid Program are welcomed inside.
The nation's newspapers are calling Margaret Cho exuberant, provocative and brilliant. From performing in small clubs as a teenager in the 1980s, Cho has developed into a nationally renowned comedian.
The hands get you first. You don't actually cross the eastern Thai border into Cambodia; you are yanked inside.
I put my game face on: Dignified, uncompro-mising, chin slightly raised and eyes squinted as if my mere gaze is incendiary and will soon ignite the potted plant and ant farm residing on the windowsill.
Be warned: Pungent fumes may drift from the general direction of the Lawn today, compliments of the contents of two dumpsters spilled in front of Old Cabell.
How nauseatingly nostalgic. Autumn makes me sappier than a sappy New England maple oozing sap, and as cold air seems to have finally found its way back into the Blue Ridge Mountains, I find myself pining for days gone by.
HIEU 354 Modern German History 1914-Present HIEU 401 Undergraduate Research Seminar Q: Why did you choose to study German history? A: All history is contemporary history, but some is more contemporary than others.
While the American media frequently covers the conditions and issues of the Middle East, few University students can grasp the far-reaching consequences of the reports. Almost no one will ever fully understand the frustration felt by suicide bombers, experience the humiliation of passing through checkpoints on a daily basis or live in fear of enemy soldiers, but one student has. Second-year Engineering student Raya Yusuf is the only student attending the University from Palestine. Born in Jerusalem, Raya grew up in Ramallah in the West Bank with her parents and three younger siblings. She attended a private Christian school for girls run by nuns although she and most of her classmates were Muslim. "Over there, there is no difference between Christian and Muslim," she explained.
The bagel necklaces, the pocketed stuffed animals, the Caesarean leaf crowns. Frantic victims running from attackers armed with socks. This scene has become familiar on Grounds in the past few weeks, as most of the first-year dorms have set up their own Assassins tournaments, arranging for all interested residents to partake in a game that might be described as a cross between hide-and-go-seek and tag.
ACROSS 1. Police sting 5. Arrow complements 9. Sunkist and Sprite 14. Hater's prefix 15.
Walking down Rugby Road today, students are likely to see a new face. Not a new fraternity guy or a face lift on one of the fraternity houses, but instead, a smaller change, and a pinker change, a rounder change ... Delta Tau Delta's newest acquisition, Charlie, the female miniature pig. Even if you are not a frequent visitor to Rugby, Charlie is by no means a sedentary swine.
In the hiatus from home football games, organizations have taken it upon themselves to schedule their own events during the upcoming weekends.The Virginia Dance Company has jumped on the bandwagon along with others, making certain not to miss their opportunity.
In the words of the great Bob Marley, "One Love! One Heart! Let's get together and feel all right." This song, and others like it, greeted us last night as we sat down for a meal in the fairly new Garden of Sheba, an Afro-Carribean restaurant located just past the Downtown Mall on East Market Street, across from the parking garage. We walked up to the restaurant very disappointed that we could not sit in the courtyard dining area due to the torrential downpour.
