READERS of The Cavalier Daily might pay attention to by-lines, or they might simply read the story.
CURIOUS to see whether all this hype had any merit, I perused the Book of Revelation over the weekend.
DEMOCRATIC people value choice. We value it both because we distrust authorities' potential to abuse power, and because we believe that, generally, individuals can make good choices for themselves.
THE IDEA of progress is perhaps the least valuable weapon in the liberal arsenal. Often criticizing conservatives for trying to live in the past or refusing to accept today's world, liberals use the word "progress" in a way that betrays a deep naiveté about the world and their beliefs.
OUR NEIGHBOR and distant relative, The College of William and Mary, has been through a trying controversy.
LEROY Comrie, a New York City councilman, recently asked his fellow Council members to abolish "the n-word." To make his point, Comrie formalized his plea by submitting a resolution to the Council requesting a "symbolic moratorium on the use of the n-word in New York City." Abolish just the n-word?

There's a Xerox machine that singes and devours human flesh.
THE CAVALIER Daily has been the defining experience of my time in college. I sat through a year of excruciatingly long Board of Visitors meetings, covered the arrest of the Living Wage protestors and culled through the minutiae of Honor Committee proceedings.
TWO AND a half weeks ago, I, like most University students, returned to Charlottesville after enjoying a month of winter rest and relaxation.
With all the attention that has been paid lately to our next presidential election, it can be difficult to remember that it is still almost two year away.
MISS AMERICA represents the highest ideals. She is a real combination of beauty, grace, and intelligence, artistic and refined.
DUKE BASKETBALL, a lightning rod for all those who follow college sports, polarizes students into two groups: those who love Duke and those who loathe it.
GO FIGURE. The Honor Committee passes one of the most important reforms of its investigation processes in -- well, a long time -- and we do it after the Cavalier Daily has gone on vacation.
