Smile! There's no escaping your First-Year Face Book picture

By Megan Peloquin | November 13, 2002

Last year I was one of five girls in my senior class to be voted "Most likely to be Presi-dent." Not that being politically oriented is a bad thing, but if you knew me, you would realize why this "honor" carried an air of absurdity. For one, I hate "leading" because I always end up doing all the work (or maybe I have a hard time trusting other people -- but that's a whole web of psychoanalysis for another day).Besides, you should see the other girls who were selected. Yearbook at my school practically was a career, run by an oligarchy of overachievers who made it their mission to document every single aspect of our all-girls' school life, annoying the student body to no end in the process.They snapped useless pictures and wrote copy that no one ever reads in the name of "Quill and Scroll" awards.

Wining and dining with the big guys

By Lytle Wurtzel | November 11, 2002

Somewhere between my fourth and fifth coconut-fried shrimp, I realized I was in over my head. As I stood at the Biltmore on Tuesday night, listening to a presentation on an investment bank in Manhattan and eating seafood appetizers like it was my job, I started to understand how real and how scary this "job thing" is. On the surface, it doesn't look so bad.

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.

Daniel McNamara is on the lookout. Even on slow Wednesday night, he's checking for fake IDs and watching the line outside Buddhist Biker Bar. If you want to get in the door, you'll have to get past his poker-face gaze.

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.
