When Jonathan Larson wrote Rent in 1989, he had yet to realize the legacy he would leave the world. Rent is an thought-provoking musical written about the different faces of AIDS.
Unfortuantely, the issue of Single Sanction reform never seems to seize the student body for too long before it fades.
After reading Ginny Robinson's column ("Love is Propaganda," Feb. 15), I was left feeling quite frustrated - and just as a heads up, this is coming from a straight female. You brought up a variety of contradictory points within your piece. First of all, you wrote "To deny the complexity of love by ignoring the variation in human relationships erodes the campaigns validity," while in fact, that is exactly the opposite of what the campaign is promoting.
I was absolutely appalled by Ginny Robinson's column ("Love is Propaganda?," Feb. 15). How disheartening it is to see a piece that does nothing but speak in generalizations and offer the most absurd arguments for her alleged "argument." I am not involved in the LGBT, nor did I get a chance to even pick up the shirt (I still have mine from last year), but I was outraged to read her ill-informed and quite frankly, prejudicial piece.
While I rarely take anything printed in The Cavalier Daily to heart, Ginny Robinson's opinion on the Love is Love t-shirts is pretty disturbing and hopefully not representative of the University community.
Ginny Robinson's column yesterday lacked the same "validity of assertion" she said the Love is Love campaign missed.
Re "Honor passes tentative public summaries amendment," Feb. 11: Though I am a firm believer in confidentiality and respecting students' privacy, I truly believe this amendment will help the Honor Committee break down the separation between the student body and its elected representatives.
The House of Delegates rightfully tabled four bills last week that would have mandated Virginia universities to cap out-of-state enrollment.
Burying the lead means that somewhere deep in a news story readers stumble upon the real news - something that should have been in the first paragraph.
Many university students have no problem rejecting critical thought in exchange for a free t-shirt. At least, that appeared to be the take-home message of last week's Love is Love campaign sponsored by the University's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Resource Center.
In a move intended to make the University community more hospitable for prospective American Indian students and faculty, members of the American Indian Student Union circulated a survey to gauge demand for a Native Studies minor.
Student Council met two days ago and passed a bill that would allow the University Board of Elections to standardize the guidelines for students to submit constitutional amendment proposals.
Over Winter Break, I went back to China where I spent my first 16 years. Though many perspectives on China are circulated, after talking with Chinese citizens and government officials, I would like to offer my personal observation and reflection on one pressing issue: housing. The continuing housing slide in the United States and Europe has not decelerated the skyrocketing prices of housing in China.
On Feb. 9, The Cavalier Daily published an article entitled "June bug" by Life columnist Julia Sharpe.
I'm embarrassed that Julia Sharpe's "June bug" was published, and that the ignorant and racist attitudes in the article were condoned by the editors of The Cavalier Daily.
Debate has recently sprung up concerning Julia Sharpe's "June Bug" article in The Cavalier Daily about her study abroad experiences in South Africa.
I am appalled at Julia Sharpe's article ("June bug," Feb. 9). The writer's blatant inability to critically assess her surroundings is evident in her patronizing and stereotype-ridden description of what she saw in Cape Town, South Africa. "Hence the paradox of tourism and Cape Town.
Elizabeth Ford's "Glamorous Mistakes" (Feb. 9) is horribly mistaken about how MTV has portrayed teen pregnancy.
Ashley Chappo's Friday editorial regarding the recent election of Teresa Sullivan to be the University's eighth president lauded the choice as a promising sign in women's progress in ranks of academia.
Last week, the Inter-Fraternity Council instituted a policy to restrict coercion by fraternities while extending bids to potential members.
