European toilets stink!

By Julie Hofler | July 5, 2001

I learned a lot during my first trip to Europe last month. Like how to raid vending machines to quickly use spare foreign currency before leaving for another country, and how to walk for miles with all of my belongings precariously strapped to my body. But as my plane returned to Dulles International Airport, I found myself with immense new knowledge on a topic that I had never previously bothered to explore - the bathroom.

The Man Behind the Mic

By Julia Salasky | June 21, 2001

For most people, winning the Virginia Press Association's Virginian of the Year Award would be a crowning achievement and the culmination of a phenomenal career. Not so for University professor and political pundit Larry Sabato, the most recent recipient of the VPA's annual recognition. Speaking with the modest tone that has garnered him so many personal accolades, Sabato scoffed at the idea that this most recent achievement has changed his life. "Awards are very nice but what matters in life is accomplishment, so the last thing anyone should ever do is sit on their laurels," Sabato said.

Roughing it in the wilds of C'ville

By Sam Bresnahan | June 21, 2001

When I was a Boy Scout, I didn't think sleeping on the hard ground was good for anything besides "putting hair on your chest." At least that's what our fearless adult leaders told us so we would stop complaining. But my experience as a Boy Scout did come in handy earlier this month, when I slept on the hard floor of a friend's apartment for 10 straight days.

Car stereos blast sounds of summer

By Sam Bresnahan | June 14, 2001

It's officially summer. And in the words of DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, it's time for us to "adjust the bass and let the Alpine blast." Summer is when testosterone-driven males come out of hibernation, blasting their car audio systems loudly enough to set off alarms, kill anyone with a pacemaker and communicate with deaf whales. There is some kind of primeval male instinct at work here, a sort of my-club-is-bigger-than-your-club mentality that dates back to the caveman days.

My Fair ... Pygmalion The Chinese Student Association is taking center stage with a production of "Pygmalion," the basis of the 1964 hit film "My Fair Lady." The CSA will present the play tonight at the Student Activities Building at 8 p.m., free of charge. Though a traditionally western play - it's set in England - the CSA chose it for exactly that reason. "We were looking at Asian-American plays in particular, but we wanted to do something different this year," said CSA cultural co-chairwoman Lily Yang.
