GOP decisions doom health care debate

By Sparky Clarkson | July 22, 1999

OUR NATION'S capital recently has been deep in a debate on the issue of health care. Only a few days ago, the Senate voted on a package of health-care reforms, a so-called "Patient's Bill of Rights." Rather than agree to any form of compromise, Senate Republicans decided to push their own version of the bill.

Lessons lie beyond the classroom

By Katie Dodd | July 19, 1999

LAST YEAR, I was given one of the best opportunities of my life. And I almost didn't take it. It was just after midterms, and I was up to my ears in Sociology and Shakespeare when I got a phone call from one of my editors.

Seeking substance

By Tom Bednar | July 19, 1999

Open letter from the 12 Society

By Sparky Clarkson | July 19, 1999

THIS IS for all the sweaty half-shaven men who like to sit around gas stations and gawk at young girls: Get a life, because we are. In Arizona, women hold the top five elected offices in the state.

It's cool to be smart

By David T. Gies | July 19, 1999

SEVERAL years ago, the Faculty Senate--chaired at the time by Prof. Jahan Ramazani--started an initiative that was termed, in its broadest sense, "Intellectual Community." By that we meant to focus on what is at the core of the University experience, what in our judgment makes U.Va.

Coping with unfamiliar family life

By Erin Perucci | July 19, 1999

I HAVE heard people say that the only constant in this world is change. But when it comes to the constants of childhood--the way things were when you were a kid--change is as welcome a houseguest as your Aunt Edna, who can't stop pinching your cheeks as if you were five years old. Most students go to college with the knowledge of looming adulthood, but take the strong stance that they will not be shaken from the foundations that make up who they are.

Open letter from the Twelve Society

By Sparky Clarkson | July 15, 1999

PEOPLE of the University: It pleases us to announce the formation of a new secret society at the University, the 12 Society.
