Never Forget

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.


Opinion

Fresh ideas

One of the issues that has dominated Charlottesville local government in recent months has been the future of the downtown farmers' market.


Opinion

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.


Opinion

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.

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.

Early bird special

STUDENTS should consider putting down the credit card applications and picking up some information on Individual Retirement Accounts.

Driving the discussion

Since its inception in September 2000, the Charlottesville Free Trolley has run between Grounds and the Downtown Mall and become a crucial plank in local mass transit.

The most interesting mascot

I can't be the only person to have noticed: The man riding the horse at the beginning of Virginia football games looks just like the Dos Equis Man. Can we really be sure this is a coincidence?


Opinion

Only the quote-idian

THE LATEST clash between President Obama and Congressional Republicans is about the timing of the former's speech before a joint session of Congress, which initially was proposed to be the same night as a televised debate among GOP presidential candidates.


Opinion

Sincerely, anonymous

The Cavalier Daily ran a story, "A warning sign at Zeta Psi," in today's paper that cited six sources who only spoke on condition of anonymity.


Opinion

Making headlines

I wanted to address the headline of the August 31 news article titled "Report exposes high hunger rates." This headline not only is misleading, but also is not valid.
