This letter is in response to Dan Stalcup's "Best of the Decade: Athletes," Feb. 24). While I appreciate the difficultly in compiling a list that spans 23 sports and 10 years and have enjoyed reading Stalcup's articles over the past few weeks, I do believe that there was one oversight in terms of athletes included.
I am extremely disappointed in our community's response to Julia Sharpe's recent article ("June bug," Feb.
Any student who has ventured into Clemons Library during final exams genuinely can appreciate what it means to be "packed in like sardines." Partially in response to Clemons' persistent overcrowding during these high-traffic periods, Student Council's Student Life Committee collaborated with the University last semester to extend Clark Library's hours of operation from 2 a.m.
MTV'S new reality show "16 and Pregnant" just launched its second season, which promises to be even more dramatic than the first one.
I am the professor to whom Andy Beam was referring in Monday's column "Honor reviews exam discussion policies". The foundation upon which any university stands is the integrity of its academic process.

Megan Stiles' column "Packing Heat" is symptomatic of one of the fundamental problems plaguing American society today
Having read the news article concerning the case summaries, I am concerned of how this could negatively impact students in the Honor System.
This year will mark the 170th year since the murder of a University of Virginia professor that would ultimately give rise to the inception of an Honor System, which, in its present manifestation, relies upon students "simply behaving with the integrity that has come to be expected of a Virginia student" as the self-affirming justification for encouraging the administration of unproctored exams that facilitate the advancement of the dishonest at the expense of the honest. To place the burden of the administration of fair exams on the students taking such exams is an infringement upon their pursuit of an education unmolested by distracting parallel duties as classroom monitors and honor offense reporters. When students graduate, they will compete in a world that will not assume that they are uniquely honorable on account of having "worn the honors of Honor." A temporary suspension of such realities may be of benefit to the merchandising efforts of University Guides in promoting a place unbounded by the realities of human nature to the parents of prospective students, but it is a disservice to such students during their tenure at the university. Of the four in-class examinations I took in the second semester of my first year at the University of Virginia, I witnessed 'dishonorable' activity in half.
As executive editor, I spent a lot of time becoming familiar with the workings of Student Council and the Honor Committee.
Yesterday, the polls opened for University-wide student elections, and Managing Board is pleased to announce its final endorsements for Student Council.

For any fourth- or third-years at the University, the days of Club Clemons seem to be a distant memory.
You may think you know what an honor offense is: It's a non-trivial act of lying, cheating or stealing, committed with dishonest intent.
