I submit to the University that it is disgusting that it is taking well over a year to build a freaking sidewalk behind the Lambeth Field apartments when they can put up structural steel for a basketball arena in a matter of months. What are the priorities? This is totally disgusting, and I intend to fight for completion of said sidewalk so I can get sleep in said apartment.

Hi. I'm calling to vent about President Bush. I watched the State of the Union on Tuesday, and while I could dismiss a lot of it with a laugh, some of it really disturbed me. Particularly his proposal on an amendment banning gay marriage. What, exactly, is so threatening about the union of two members of the same sex? These aren't Biblical times; a man-woman marriage is not required to create a family unit with lots of children to work on the farm. Our economy can stand on family units made of any kind of grouping of people. And I'm sorry, but traditional values are not inherently good. At one point the subjugation of an entire race was a traditional value; that didn't last, and neither will this. Surely there are enough sane, rational people in the United States to keep an amendment like this from passing, and to vote not to re-elect Bush.

All University students are required to live on Grounds in their first year, but they have many on and off-Grounds housing options going into their second year. Students face immense pressure to decide on housing as soon as possible, and this high demand has strained the capacities of both on and off-Grounds accommodations. Lauren Seeliger and Brandon Kile, two third-year Cavalier Daily News writers, discuss the impact of the student housing frenzy on both University students and the Charlottesville community.
