Odds and Ends

By Cavalier Daily Staff | March 8, 2001

Heavy breathing Just when you thought the seriousness of midterms was draining all the fun out of your life, there shines a beacon of shameless humor in the distance. This guiding light comes from the glare of the computer screen, and more specifically - from the Groaning for Graduates Web site (www.geocities.com/hot_uva_tas). The site bears an uncanny resemblance to the Web site promoting the Seven Society's graduate fellowship for superb teaching. Like the Seven Society, the Groaning for Graduates remain anonymous. Only instead of "superb" teaching, Groaning For Graduates (in)appropriately doles out its honors based on "sexy" teaching. The nomination process requires almost as little brain power as the teaching assistant who is nominated. In fact, according to the Web site, brain power is not to be considered in the nomination.

2001: A Space Expansion

By Sarah Bouchard | March 7, 2001

In the microcosm that is the University community, it can be easy to overlook small stores along the Corner - especially one whose theme revolves around a black hole. But the revamped Orbit, a pool hall with a bar-meets-cafe atmosphere, launched into a booming new business.

Politico Invitational putts more than elitism across the green

By Margaret Chipowsky | March 6, 2001

Break out your putters and plaid pants. Prepare to hit the green. The politicos are ready to play. As winter clears out and spring approaches, it is almost time for one of the University's newest traditions: the invitation-only, charity miniature golf tournament commonly referred to as the Politico Invitational. I, for one, am ready to defend my mini-golf honor.

Promoting protection "Look for condoms around Grounds, win prizes!" Members of the student group Promoting Negativity posted messages like this one all around the University last week, hoping to rally support for Safer Sex Day on Tuesday. "Safer sex is something that is often overlooked or not even taken into consideration," said Alyssa Lederer, a first-year College student and Promoting Negativity member. The group will hand out free male and female condoms and lubricants on the Lawn, as well as at Newcomb and Observatory Hill dining halls during lunch and dinner.

The Song of Lark

By Sam Bresnahan | March 5, 2001

When Systems Engineering Prof. Jim Lark is watching the game, he's not having a Bud. That's because he's enjoying a unique brew he made himself. "I've brewed some beers that I would stack up with the best in the world," Lark said with pride. Beer brewing, however, occupies only a small part of the time Lark spends outside of academia.

Students search for sales Suddenly, it feels like spring. And there is no better place to buy warm-weather clothes or even to purchase discounted winter outfits than right here on Grounds. So it's no wonder that signs boasting bargains on $15 men's shorts and $15 women's jeans have lured dozens of students to the large tent sale outside the University Bookstore.

Breaking Out of the Mold

February 23, 2001

Hip-hop and the Charlottesville music scene - the two might not seem synonymous, but those behind today's Genesis 2:001 hip-hop battle, a competitive mix of music, dance and art, hope that their event will broaden the local music scope. Last year, Genesis 2:000 drew a crowd of over 500 onlookers to the Student Activities Building where it was held, and this year, the event's organizers expect a turnout that will fill the building to capacity. "My hope is to legitimize the artistry of hip-hop culture," said Peter Saji, a University alumnus and one of the event's co-founders.
