SOMETIMES we say the right things for the wrong reasons. And sometimes we say the wrong things for the right reasons.
LIKE MANY college students, particularly out-of-state students at a state university, I am often asked why I chose to enroll at the University.
NAPSTER finally has resorted to bribery to win its escalating battle with the recording industry.
WE WRITE on behalf of the Contraceptive Coverage Committee, an organization of University undergraduate, graduate and professional students, advocating changes in the student health insurance endorsed by the University.
LET THERE be no mistake; this is an apology, not an apologia. I will be making some explanations, but this column is primarily an acknowledgment expressing regret and asking pardon for faults and offenses.
CAN ORAL contraceptives be included as part of the prescription benefits of the QualChoice health insurance plans available for student purchase?
WITH ELECTIONS looming up on us next week, students are being overwhelmed with chalkings and fliers.
THE PAST few days have seen an alarmed University and Asian-American community react fervently to The Cavalier Daily's Feb.
THE INITIAL "reforms" proposed by the Honor System Review Commission in November stagger belief.
ASIDE from the hundreds of other ways in which people may be divided into two camps, such as cat people and non-cat people, Yankee fans and human beings, and so forth, the Western world is comprised of NASCAR fans and non-NASCAR fans.
LET'S TALK more about whether the honor system is dead. In this space last week, I made the argument that it is.

AS FAR as I remember, a typical school day begins something like this: The principal presents the morning announcements over the intercom.
The new Tech Trends column by Nick Lawler is a welcome addition as a regular Business feature. The critical role technological innovation, and the tech world generally, plays in the current business world fairly dictates that every serious newspaper cover technology developments.

SOMETIMES we get so caught up in our causes that we become petty, stupid and dogmatic about them.
ONCE AGAIN, we've reached the point in the school year when prospective candidates for different positions of student leadership begin to besiege students across Grounds, armed with petitions and pages of signatures. This spring's election season has the distinction of being one of the most highly anticipated in years, as the Honor Committee has put several constitutional changes on the ballot that are guaranteed to stir up controversy. In the College of Arts and Sciences, it's a time of fierce campaigning between candidates for the Honor Committee, the Judiciary Committee and Student Council. In smaller schools of the University, however, the atmosphere is a bit different.
