HUMAN life is sacrosanct, although it may depend on which human you're talking about. No person would claim to place a higher premium on life than a pro-life advocate.
LAST APRIL, when the time came for President Casteen to give his State of the University address, the main public issue on Grounds was the inability of the University's low-wage staff to adequately support themselves and their families on the wages they make here. Nearly 80 percent of the University's undergraduates had voted for a living wage calculated to ensure that those basic needs could be met.
JOHN PAUL Jones Arena's gameday procedures have been criticized for being absolutely awful. From students being required to have their tickets on them at all times to long, chaotic lines outside of the arena, many students think that they could do a better job managing the 15,000 occupants that attend each men's basketball game.
SUFFERING from allegations of a nuclear program and involvement in the Iraqi insurgency, Iran has transformed itself into the prime nuisance of the United States and the international community.
THE CALENDAR says it's close. Flowers are on sale. Heart shaped boxes decorate every store. But what is it about Valentine's Day that makes us go on a shopping spree?
SINCE THE fall of the Soviet Union, the United States has experienced a sort of hegemony over the world as its lone superpower and dominant economic force.
IT IS hard to imagine the reemergence of the Ku Klux Klan. But to the chagrin of most Americans, the Anti-Defamation League has released reports highlighting a major spike in Klan activity across the nation.
READERS of The Cavalier Daily might pay attention to by-lines, or they might simply read the story.
CURIOUS to see whether all this hype had any merit, I perused the Book of Revelation over the weekend.
DEMOCRATIC people value choice. We value it both because we distrust authorities' potential to abuse power, and because we believe that, generally, individuals can make good choices for themselves.
THE IDEA of progress is perhaps the least valuable weapon in the liberal arsenal. Often criticizing conservatives for trying to live in the past or refusing to accept today's world, liberals use the word "progress" in a way that betrays a deep naiveté about the world and their beliefs.
OUR NEIGHBOR and distant relative, The College of William and Mary, has been through a trying controversy.
LEROY Comrie, a New York City councilman, recently asked his fellow Council members to abolish "the n-word." To make his point, Comrie formalized his plea by submitting a resolution to the Council requesting a "symbolic moratorium on the use of the n-word in New York City." Abolish just the n-word?
THE MYTHS, stereotypes, and concerns surrounding on-grounds housing are trivial but serious enough to consider for discussion.
ASIANS and Asian-Pacific Americans comprise about 17 percent of the University population, represent 50 CIOs on grounds, and have the highest graduation rate among all minority groups.
EVERY year students and policymakers alike bemoan rising college costs. Experts at Wells Fargo expect a six percent annual increase on average.
A FEW MONTHS ago, a respected professor approached me and asked me to tell him the main editorial advocacy of our Managing Board.
A WISE Cav Daily man once pondered, "It's true; you never can mix business with pleasure. But I was thinking the other day -- what if your business is the business of pleasure?" I would like to suggest the CD is such a fusion. I'm not going to lie -- sometimes it's hard to imagine that The Cavalier Daily office is the place where these two worlds of business and pleasure collide. There's a Xerox machine that singes and devours human flesh.
THE CAVALIER Daily has been the defining experience of my time in college. I sat through a year of excruciatingly long Board of Visitors meetings, covered the arrest of the Living Wage protestors and culled through the minutiae of Honor Committee proceedings.
