Rank hypocrisy

College students and administrators throughout the nation will engage in one of higher education's most well-known traditions when they delve into U.S.


Opinion

Making connections

UNTIL the day I became one, I always found graduate students to be a rather odd breed. Constantly harried, with a pronounced tendency toward world-weariness and addiction to near lethal levels of caffeine, my graduate school friends tended to be as much fodder for undergraduate jokes as they were mentors to whom I would turn for advice.

Taking action

Editors at The Cavalier Daily discovered last week a pending article that featured words and phrases copied verbatim from at least two other sources without attribution.

Dear Students of the University, It has been ten years since September 11, 2001. While most of those among us were in our early adolescence then, the events of that day shattered the bubble inside which our collective childhood had progressed peacefully.

Appreciation for service

The Global Student Council deeply regrets the recent replacement of Parke Muth, who formerly was the Office of Admission's director of international admission. For those who may not have known him, he was not only in charge of choosing which international students to admit to the University, but also acted as the academic adviser to many students throughout their years on Grounds.

Running on empty

President Obama is expected to propose a roughly $300 billion job creation package in a televised speech before a joint session of Congress tonight, and the initiatives he announces will be designed to boost consumer demand in an attempt to bring down the nation's persistently high unemployment rate.


Opinion

Facts over theory

I found Harrison Freund's column "Reversion to the Mean" pointlessly simplistic and unacceptable. He does such a good job discrediting his own illogical statements that it is a wonder why he wrote the article in the first place. Rather than present value investing in its true light, he lumps all its iterations into reversion theory, name-dropping great investors who no doubt do a lot more research than checking P/E ratios against historical values.


Opinion

Lost in translation

Two years ago, the University's East Asia Center celebrated the news that it was chosen as a recipient of federal funding that is appropriated according to Title VI of the Higher Education Act.
