I am a 5-foot-1-and-a-half, Italian girl, who is incredibly proud of her heritage and is a family-oriented fanatic.
Yesterday, The Cavalier Daily did not hit the stands until late afternoon. As our name implies, we aim to publish a newspaper each weekday but because of inclement weather, that promise was not delivered.

Filling the shoes of John T. Casteen III was not an easy task. As such, the Board of Visitors should be applauded for the recent selection of Teresa A.
As the 120th Managing Board brings its term to a close, we continue an annual tradition of recognizing individuals and groups who have made headlines this past year. The "Politics of the Masses" award goes to Student Council for implementing Speak Up UVA as a tool for soliciting student concerns.
