UNIVERSITY students often seem to rush through their days, living in constant anticipation of the next hurdle, the next major event.
WAH, WAH, wah. College food stinks. Wah, wah, wah. My mommy's food is better. Complaints about campus food at the University are as stale and redundant as the pasta and tomato sauce that always are served in the dining halls.

I'M NOT black, I'm not poor, I'm not disabled -- but I face discrimination. It isn't because I'm female, either.
SO FAR this year, I have turned a blind eye to the "Big White Tent" both on the patio and in the pages of The Cavalier Daily. I assumed that the supposed issue was really being treated as a joke by the newspaper staff and, while something I saw as a waste of space and totally pointless, had little effect on the general community's opinion of the paper.
I'VE FINALLY figured out how to make a million dollars. Wait, scratch that - make it a billion. I've decided to patent online banking, or maybe online newspapers.

HELPING my 10-year-old cousin with her fifth-grade final project was not the breeze I had anticipated it to be.
I BELIEVE it was Shakespeare's Juliet who quipped some delightful balrderdash about names and how they don't matter.
THE UNITED States Department of Education estimates that 2.2 million elementary and secondary teachers will need to be hired in the next decade.
THANKS TO the foot-chewing antics of Board of Visitors member Terence P. Ross, the University recently descended into a deep pit of controversy regarding the status of affirmative action.
IMAGINE if you didn't need any ID to get into a football game, write a check, or get a passport.
NEITHER the Board of Visitors' proposed summer program to help out disadvantaged students nor the current policy for affirmative action is sufficient to ensure a diverse, knowledgeable student body and a fair application process. The new program would bring disadvantaged students to the University for two weeks every summer, beginning with eighth grade.
EVERYONE knows who Christopher Columbus is and why we honor him. He is celebrated for "discovering" the New World.
A FOCUSED look at The Cavalier Daily's sports section is overdue. Part of the delay is that so much of what the sports editors and writers produce is so good that I often find it difficult to make any remarks other than -- good job!
FOR THOSE who find the prospect of a corporate position at best, mind numbing, and at worst, morally depraved, there exist a number of alternatives.
