YOU WILL not get your first choice or your second choice class to take Tuesday/Thursday at ten. To be honest, you probably won't get your third or fourth either.
The Lawn Selection Committee notified47 students chosen for a Lawn room last Friday.
What would you sacrifice for a cause you believe in? You may think you're passionate about it, but how far are you willing to go to prove it? Would you join an organization? Protest? Encircle your body with chains and attempt to lock yourself to a banister in the Rotunda?
I've got one question that I doubt you've pondered: HOOS ignorant? Just when we were ready to complacently forget the racial history of this University and laugh at the thought of racially motivated incidents, one happens. Have you heard about it? No? The fact that acts of malice and ignorance go heavily unnoticed in our community is almost as large a problem as the acts themselves.
While walking along the worn-brick paths of the Lawn, you may find yourself glancing down at a cute, fuzzy little critter gazing up at you quizzically, or a scruffy, devilish varmint, startling you with its penetrating gaze. Which perspective you take depends upon your sentiment toward one of the most noticeable and polemic creatures on Grounds -- the squirrel. These creatures have existed alongside students of the University for years, inciting enjoyment, apathy and aversion. Differing opinions toward squirrels seem to be a product of each student's squirrelly interactions.
Summer's in the air, finals loom on the horizon and it's that time of year for those of us wrapping up our time at the paper -- so without further ado, we present this semester's Pink Flamingos:
AFTER the past few "Good Guys," one might actually believe that Gus Blagden, the University student for whom the award was named after in the 1960s, was a strong and faithful Christian black man. The fact that in the past three years alone and next year as well- the Lawn room designated for a student who upholds high moral character has gone to a phenomenal series of selfless African-American students is an interesting contemporary phenomenon. After four years, we would be remiss in not recognizing the fact that this honor, and these students, who champion struggles for equal rights, equal education and use the Bible as their weapon of choice is significant.
Third-year College student Amey Adkins said she never expected to be one of the students selected to live on the Lawn, much less in one of the seven endowed rooms.
Whether viewed as a symbol of the value placed on University traditions or the source of long-standing controversy, endowed Lawn rooms remain an integral part of the Lawn selection process.
We're on the verge. The verge of Charlottesville blooming into gorgeous spring radiance. That means warmth, skirts, sandals, skipping class, picnics on the Lawn and general hippie frolicking.

On March 20, the day after the United States began bombing Iraq, an estimated 200 University students left their classes at 2 p.m. and walked to the Lawn. The intent, according to Anti-War Coalition Co-Founder Jessica Forman, who helped organize the event, was to prevent students from being complacent about the conflict.
Two years and many memories ago, a group of girls made a promise. The third hall of Metcalf was the place and future housing plans were on the agenda.
If living on the Lawn is the ultimate honor at Mr. Jefferson's University, then living on the Range should be its logical counterpart, some graduate students say. But, it's not.
The University has a history of political activism, and in the coming weeks students could see this activism in action.
Responding to a view held by many University students that certain organizations are favored in the Lawn selection process, a committee of student leaders and University officials modified the way Lawn residents are chosen.
Just as Capt. Meriwether Lewis and Lt. William Clark embarked 200 years ago on the Corps of Discovery to learn about the great American West, the University now is undertaking an intellectual journey to research and teach the history and development of the West that these two historic figures first brought to the American consciousness.
ONCE AGAIN, it's that wonderful time of year. Everyone is enjoying their summer and anticipating the return to friends and good times here at the University. Just twelve short months ago, such was life for myself - the excitement of waving goodbye to my parents and beginning my very own college career was almost unbearable. That is, until I realized the predicament that so many people clearly were stuck in. Welcome to the University. Welcome to your new home. Welcome to new friends. Oh, and by the way, welcome to culture shock.
AT a school where student self-governance is encouraged, where academic dialogue thrives and where history continues to be re-written, it comes as no surprise that the voting status of the student member of the Board of Visitors regularly is debated among students and faculty alike. Though I do not claim great legislative knowledge or particular University administrative expertise, I do have 10 months of experience working closely with the Board and with a wide variety of student groups. I feel that this experience gives merit to my opinion on this issue. In the last year, each conversation, each committee meeting and each full Board session has convinced me that granting the student member voting status is neither appropriate nor necessary.
THE UNIVERSITY is a school steeped in tradition - some well-known, some not-so-well-known. Streaking the lawn. Dressing up for football games. Gus Burger eat-offs. No tradition, however, has carried more importance throughout the years than that of the honor system. The honor system has managed successfully to evolve and adapt to the changing tastes and needs of the University community. The current issue of whether to adopt or reject the informed retraction proposal is an outgrowth of this evolution. As our predecessors embraced change as the honor system's merits were questioned, we too, should now embrace change. If the informed retraction proposal comes to a vote on the 24th, passing it will strengthen and renew our honor system, and will do justice to those that attended this University before us.
