You've never seen the Lawn like this before. Sitting on the balcony of Pavilion VII, the newly renovated home of the Colonnade Club, you can understand why professors for nearly two centuries have come here to soak in the Academical Village. Last month Pavilion VII reopened its renovated doors following a three-year, $4 million architectural restoration.

It's a scene from "Animal House": Otis Day and The Nights are on stage at a local club. Big Guy: " Do you mind if we dance with your dates?" Boon: "Why, no, not at all, go right ahead." After bonding a few hours with a red Solo cup and the pledge working the keg, there are a few handfuls of University guys that just might try to rival the Big Guy's glory.
Rites of Fall By Catherine Dunn Cavalier Daily Associate Editor They took it apart piece by piece, metal limb by metal limb. Big White Tent - its taut canopy reduced to a rolled up ream of canvas - was no more.
"Where'd you park for this thing?" a woman called in an easy Southern drawl from the window of her pickup truck outside the University Surplus Depot. Every six weeks, the depot auctions off an accumulation of items from various University departments.

Catherine Mason wore cowboy boots for the first time this summer. The second-year College student had only known the wilds of Richmond before deciding to fly out to Wyoming and work on a ranch. "I never really considered myself a 'Western' person, but I loved "Hey Dude" as a child, and I thought it was a good summer for that kind of experience," Mason said. While only about 260 University undergraduates are native West Coasters, ranging from Arizona to the Dakotas, others who have been eastbound their whole lives want to know what it could be like to work in a fly-fishing store or on a barren ranch. "The people in Montana made so much fun of me at first," said third-year College student Jaime Cattano, who worked on a ranch this summer.

Siblings: You can't live with them and you can't live without them. Your rivalry with that pesty brother or sister began at toddler age when you bickered over toys and may even persist today at college, decades later. And this rivalry might even be compounded if you and your brother are the same age and also attend the same college. But some siblings here at the University have overcome this contention by competing together on some of the most intense collegiate sports teams in the country. Cross country and track team members Justin and Brian Wood never even considered going to different schools.

Never before has the American flag seemed so ubiquitous. Before Sept. 11, even the one-day revelry of firework displays and backyard barbecues typical of Fourth of July celebrations did not exhibit such patriotic flourish. But now, flags hang proudly on the outside of nearly every building, cars parade past, antennas adorned with miniature flags, and traditional patriotic choral songs like "God Bless America" blare from your roommate's computer. "I'm not usually patriotic," admits third-year College student Heather Calkin, but the tragedy of the terrorist attacks inspired her and her Lambeth roommate, third-year College student Nikki Rohrbaugh, to make a late-night expedition to CVS to procure a pack of construction paper.
