Odds and Ends

By Lauren Akselrod | November 11, 2002

It's about togetherness. It's about sharing. It's about making a positive difference in the lives of others. With the holiday season just around the corner, Madison House's Holiday Sharing program is the perfect way to add a little spirit to an already joyful time of year. By recruiting the help of individuals and groups from the University and Charlottesville area, the program aims to make the holidays special for less fortunate families in the Charlottesville-Albemarle area. Families range from two to eight members, and sponsors can make contributions individually or in a group, said first-year Architecture student and Holiday Sharing volunteer Adrienne Hicks. Besides working with the Salvation Army to find needy families, Holiday Sharing volunteers also are in charge of recruitment, matching sponsors with families and distributing holiday packages.

Here Comes the McIntire Business Institute

By Alexandra Valint | November 11, 2002

Impractical. It's a word that many College students get slapped with. For example, psychology, English and religious studies are majors supposedly lacking in resume worthiness and ample career opportunities. Everyone knows the good jobs are in the business world.

Odds & Ends

By Alexandra Valint | November 8, 2002

Yesterday a streaming line of anxious students snaked its way out of the Newcomb Hall Ballroom, along the third-floor corridor and sometimes out the double doors and into the cool wind of autumn. It rivaled a line emanating from a woman's bathroom during the intermission of a Final Four basketball game.

Early thanks giving

By Katie Sullivan | November 7, 2002

Have you thanked your cafeteria lady lately? Despite occasional complaints about long lines and repetitive food, first years know they couldn't survive without Observatory Hill Dining Hall and its staff. Last Saturday, a group of first years demonstrated their appreciation by declaring an O-Hill Appreciation Day, marked by a "wall of appreciation" in the dining hall. Four first-year students got the idea as part of a group project for their University seminar. "It was a loving kindness project," first-year College student Erin Dorsey said.

The Funny Pages

By Acacia Gaski | November 5, 2002

On Sunday mornings, the comics came out to play -- huge, half-page, in-living-color spreads of "Garfield," "Calvin and Hobbes" and "Peanuts." We ripped open plastic, struggled with pages so obviously not made for miniature arms, and laughed at the little slices of imagined life neatly begun and ended within allotted spaces.

Historian's Corner

By Steve Ander and The University Guide Service | November 4, 2002

Thomas Jefferson and the Marquis de Lafayette were great friends separated by an ocean (Marquis de Lafayette being the famous French general who enlisted with George Washington in 1777 to fight for American independence). However, their friendship remained through correspondence after Jefferson, serving as the Minister to France, returned from France in 1789.
