I'm calling concerning this guy who lives downstairs from my friends and I. I don't want to say his real name, so we can just call him 'can dook-dook.' I think the word needs to be spread that this guy doesn't cover his mouth when he coughs, and these germs just go everywhere.

With love from Cupid

University of Virginia students are well known for their zeal in community service. Whether they serve through Madison House, peer mentoring or simply individually, many students share a common desire to help others in their community. In the particular realm of peer mentoring, three organizations distinguish themselves: The Transfer Student Peer Advisors, the Peer Advisor Program of the Office of African American Affairs and the Asian Pacific American Peer Advisor Family Network. While working extensively to better the community individually, these three groups have not yet had an opportunity to collaborate their efforts -- until today. The Clothes from Cupid Clothing Drive, located in front of the Bookstore from noon to seven this evening, is the first joint project from these three prominent service groups. Assistant Director of Orientation Laurie Casteen, who is the director of TPSA and the main faculty advisor for this event, said she is very excited about the drive.
