Anti-pleasure principle

By Andrew Merson | November 15, 1999

The green flyers placed around the Newcomb Hall Dining Room attracted students' eyes with their bright color at first, but their message would attract controversy as well: "Why are certain factions (the Catholic Church and feminists) engaged in an assault against things that make life pleasurable, such as: sex, romance, makeup, furs, jewelry, chocolate?" The flyer advertised "The Neo-Puritan Assault on Sex and Pleasure" with Dr. Gary Hull as lecturer, sponsored by the Objectivist Club Thursday night in Gilmer Hall. Objectivism is a philosophy emphasizing individual achievement, formulated by the author Ayn Rand in her 1943 book "The Fountainhead" and 1957 book "Atlas Shrugged." According to Hull, the basis of the philosophy's morality is reason. "I would say objectivism is a philosophy of reason, egoism and capitalism," said Dan Norton, third-year College student and Objectivist Club president.

Shooting blanks

By Stephanie Batten | November 10, 1999

Not many students knew about or even used the Maury Hall shooting range, where ROTC students and Pistol and Rifle Club members could practice firing guns, and now many never will get the chance. Now that the range has closed, some students in the club fear their little-known University tradition may collapse without room to practice.

And the winner is ... Thanks to the Third-Year Council and Peace Frogs travel agency, third-year students Quincy Kolb and Sarah Witt spent this weekend in New Orleans. Directly after winning the trip Thursday night, the two students were whisked away in a limousine to pack their bags. After Kolb's raffle ticket was drawn, she chose Witt to accompany her on the all-expenses paid trip. They were given accommodations in a hotel in Charlottesville to anticipate their Friday morning flight to Creole Country. Organizers of the event said that 60 other prizes were awarded in addition to the trip. But the real winner was United Support: The Community Foundation Against Domestic Violence and Abuse, which received all $2,600 raised at the event. "We decided United Support would be our best choice because they are an up-and-coming charity in Charlottesville," Third-Year Council member Tony Rettig said.

Disco dancer grooves out of Halloween spirit

By Kate White | November 4, 1999

Once upon a time I loved Halloween. It wasn't just the candy that appealed to me (though I admit I did get quite excited at the prospect of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups that were banned from my house the other 364 days of the year). It was the act of donning a costume and raising myself to the rank of princess or president or embodying my fanciful heroes like Smurfette or Cinderella, or even crossing the boundaries of species and becoming a cat or a butterfly that I adored.
