Odds and Ends

By Katie Sullivan | September 12, 2002

For every bare space on a wall, there is a poster. In fact, the University Bookstore's poster sale has a selection of over 1,000. Under the little white tent in Newcomb Plaza, encased in those heavy black plastic sleeves, are posters whose topics range from art to movies, from music to scenery. First-year College student Daphne Allen already had two posters picked out well before she was ready to go to the cash register.

Homeward

By Catherine Dunn | September 11, 2002

The bomb exploded Thursday in Kabul, Marina Omar's home city. She found out in her 8 a.m. English class at Piedmont Virginia Community College, leaving her a day full of hours to worry about her family in Afghanistan, particularly a beloved uncle and two rosy-cheeked cousins. Omar didn't have time to eat that day, let alone try to call home.

It pays to tailgate

By Laura Good | September 10, 2002

On sunny skied football game days, swarms of enthusiastic fans flock to Scott Stadium. They come to root for their home team, support their alma mater, and perhaps most importantly, pre-game. Most season-ticket holders arrive in Charlottesville a few hours prior to the game, filling the parking lots for some quality tailgating, which has become as much a part of the University's football tradition as striped ties and sundresses. Of course, quality tailgating most commonly includes a considerable amount of alcohol. So what allows both fans and students alike to bring alcoholic beverages onto school property on game days? "The Virginia Student Aid Foundation leases the parking spaces in the lots near the stadium from the University on game days," VSAF Executive Director Dirk Katstra said.

Odds & Ends

By Lauren Akselrod | September 9, 2002

It's new and improved. It's bigger and better. There's only one catch -- it won't be done for another 16 months. The construction currently taking place at the Aquatic & Fitness Center has caused more than a few stretched necks. According to Intramural-Recreational Sports, the final project will include a three-court gymnasium, an indoor jogging track, multipurpose rooms to accommodate aerobics, yoga, dance and martial arts, additional free weight space and an expansion of the existing space for cardiovascular exercise and cycling classes. One problem associated with the construction, however, is parking.

Summer Heat

By Elizabeth Bishop | September 6, 2002

Summer -- no school, no work, no worries. A time for romance, harmless love interests and fleeting fits of passion -- a perfect time for a fling. It could be with your neighborhood pool lifeguard, a Brad Pitt look-alike whose impossible tan and washboard abs lured you to the baby-filled pool each day. Or with the intern at the prestigious New York law firm, whose sultry eyes and meaningful smile kept you from concentrating on the future of your promising career. Or it could be with the camp counselor, whose expert survival techniques wowed you and distracted you from the job at hand: watching only your campers. These scenarios ring all too familiar to Kari Browning, who was a counselor at an all-girls camp this past summer.

It's coming from the tables on the Lawn. It's leaking from the windows of 1516 Jefferson Park Avenue. If you are willing to pay -- or to spend some time with your computer -- it could even be playing in your car or dorm room. It's a cappella, and it's everywhere at the University. Last night's Rotunda Sing was one of the University's biggest a cappella events, but it's only the beginning. Second-year College student Julianna Frisch said she thinks part of the attraction of a cappella is its long history at the University. "It's part of the tradition of U.Va.," Frisch said.

Open Season

By Daniel Stern | September 4, 2002

The press likes to call it the "toughest tournament in tennis," and for good reason. The crowd, so utterly New York City with its unanimous uproars and rather obnoxious boos; the screaming airline jets taking off like clockwork from the juxtaposed LaGuardia airport; the greasy wafts from the kosher hotdog concession stands floating their way into the courts which are the players' battlegrounds for the fortnight; and the oppressive summer heat.
