Waiting for Bodo

By Julie Hofler and Gregg Helvey | September 15, 2000

"Where's Bodot, I thought you said he was coming." "He is." "When?" "Soon." "Oh." "Coming." It has been a familiar word on the Corner District, where Charlottesville's third Bodo's Bagel shop officially has been "coming" for over five years. Six classes have arrived on Grounds, two classes have walked down the Lawn, the Corner got a Starbucks and Scott Stadium got HooVision.

'Energizer' runners just keep going and going and going

By Lytle Wurtzel | September 14, 2000

As a lazy child, you watched your father sternly shake his finger at you and bellow, "Son, you are just standing here as the world passes you by!" Now that you have matured, removed yourself from the path of that shaking finger and made it to college, this admonition still may apply.

By Josie Roberts | September 13, 2000

Something new has landed in the Lambeth residence area. And it's not just the latest wave of students. WTJU, a University-owned radio station broadcast on 91.1 FM, has moved its headquarters from Peabody Hall to Lambeth Commons, and in the process, it has acquired a swankier studio. "The old studio was wall-to-wall with albums.

Over the river and through the woods

By Catherine Dunn | September 13, 2000

Like many University students and area residents, the fourth-year College student is captivated by some of Albemarle County's most well-known landmarks.

Jolting U.Va. students into organization Have no fear, jolted first-years: The Daily Jolt is here. Every aspect of the University experience, social and academic, is intense. And your first year, even trying to find everything you need -- from location of classes to a specific Greek-lettered building down Rugby -- can be painstakingly difficult. The University "Daily Jolt" is a new Web site designed to help University students with everything from eating out to scheduling classes on time, said second-year Engineering student John Mell, one of the two designers of the Web site. Related Links The Daily Jolt @ UVA &nbsp The site comes complete with a discussion forum on University issues, a marketplace similar to the auctioning behemoth eBay, a listing of movies and TV shows relevant to college students, and an abundance of important University links, including ISIS and the Course Offering Directory. To produce the Web site, Mell and a friend, second-year Engineering student Jason Kearns, had to put in a lot of time over the summer. "Instead of working on my summer job, I did this," Mell said. "The Daily Jolt" is a network of collegiate Web sites designed to provide students with a compilation of convenient, useful links.

Good phone service = long distance 'Sprint'

By Kelly King | September 8, 2000

Residential phone service. It seems so simple. Run a line here, flip a switch there and voila!. But at the beginning of the school year, when Charlottesville teems with thousands of students, hooking up efficient phone service isn't so simple -- especially when there's only one residential phone company in town. Sprint, the dominant provider in Charlottesville, faces a glut of service requests at the beginning of the year, and as the requests pile up, so do the complaints. Students living off Grounds moan about delayed or forgotten service appointments as well as being put on hold for too long. Like Jody Flipper.
