As a fan of Virginia Athletics since birth, I was incredibly disappointed in Dan Stalcup's article "Hokie for a weekend". It was truly disheartening to read about "a Wahoo at heart" who had no problems with donning a maroon shirt, cheering for our arch-rivals, and storming Worsham Field after a Virginia Tech victory.

What would Jefferson do? In my previous article, I concluded that the presidential search was in the hands of the wealthiest alumni.

Stress. For many fourth-years, this insidious word has already crept much farther into their daily lives than they could have anticipated after three years of relatively care-free living at Mr. Jefferson's University. "Job," "graduate school," and "interviews" have become dirty words while formerly harmless letters have taken on new meaning when strung together in certain dreaded sequences ("LSAT," "MCAT," and "GRE"). It's as if, suddenly, without warning, somebody flipped a giant switch in the basement of the rotunda sometime over the summer and the fourth-year class collectively came to remember that we will have lives outside of the University next year. Stress. Yes, it is hunting season again - the season of hunting for jobs (or even careers if we're lucky) and applying to graduate, law, and medical school.

I am writing on behalf of the University of Virginia's Department of Athletics to apologize for the use of an image of a Native American in the pre-game video at last week's game against the College of William & Mary. William & Mary relinquished its use of the "Indians" nickname and its American Indian mascot in the 1980s.
I regret to say that I have had enough of Mr. Groh and the substandard product he brings to the University.
