Opinion

The worst of times

The Cavalier Daily published a lead editorial March 4 endorsing Alex Solomon and Will Bane for the positions of Honor Committee chair and University Judiciary Committee chair, respectively.


Opinion

Turning a blind eye

It is clear that many University students break the honor code. You could probably find this out by conducting a University-wide survey or using some equation, but all you really need to do is to take a look around when you are taking your next exam in a huge lecture hall.


Opinion

Spring orientation

Though he did not get a Spring Break, state Attorney General and University alumnus Ken Cuccinelli certainly caught some heat last week for a letter he issued advising Virginia public colleges and universities to strip references to sexual orientation from their nondiscrimination polices.


Opinion

Lighting up

Almost everyone at the University knows this is John T. Casteen III's last year as president. What some might not know is that he plans on joining the Board of Directors of Altria as its 10th member.


Opinion

Shooting blanks

Publishing endorsements for the Honor and UJC Chair positions last week ("Leading the pack," March 4) was a huge mistake that The Cavalier Daily should admit to and apologize for, both to the candidates they wronged and to the readership.


Opinion

Right on target

This letter is in regards to the March 4 lead editorial "Leading the Pack." In this editorial, the Managing Board endorsed candidates for the offices of chair for both the University Judiciary and Honor Committees.


Opinion

Grade A athletes

I am writing to commend Coach Tony Bennett for his remarks about academic performance expectations for student athletes participating in the University's basketball program.


Opinion

Lessons learned

It's been more than a month, so maybe it's safe to talk about it now. On Feb. 9, The Cavalier Daily published "June Bug," a story Life columnist Julia Sharpe wrote about her trip to South Africa.


Opinion

Unfair Endorsing

I found the lead editorial from March 4 ("Leading the Pack") to be a bit misleading in nature. The editorial wishes to endorse a specific candidate for the office of Chair of the Judiciary and Honor Committees, but the editors failed to speak with all representatives who have been elected (only speaking to those from some of the more contested representative races). It is also important to note that elections for the Curry School were not yet complete, and The Cavalier Daily's attempt to support a specific candidate is extremely premature from a time perspective.


Opinion

Not in Kansas anymore

Perhaps the most cherished hiatus from classes by students across the nation, Spring Break has come at last.


Opinion

Deja Hoos

A return trip to Grounds brought back fantastic memories and revealed stunning changes around the University. Navigating Route 29 North provided me with all the aspects of a congested area - except the road rage.


Opinion

Leading the pack

The University-wide student election polls may have closed last week, but a few prominent positions have yet to be decided.


Opinion

Full-on immersion

Last week, I wrote about ways to learn a language. However, to fully participate in a society, linguistic command is necessary but not sufficient.


Opinion

Buried deep

On June 12 of last year, Iranians went to the polls with a message of change similar to the one that recently swept through America.


Opinion

Marginal mayhem

Though polls are closed for the University-wide student elections, questions remain about the University Board of Election's preferential voting procedures.


Opinion

Un-debt-edly wrong

Under 21? Want a credit card? It just got a whole lot tougher for you to get one. The Credit CARD (Card, Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure) Act of 2009 went into effect Feb.


Opinion

A new leaf

Last night, the University Board of Elections announced the much-anticipated results of the University-wide student elections.
