Virginia football is at an intriguing crossroads. Needing to win two of its final five games to secure bowl game eligibility, an appetizing opportunity awaits in the form of a home game Saturday against North Carolina. The Cavaliers started the season 4-1 but have since entered a slump after facing two tough opponents in Louisville and Clemson. However, that is not to say that Virginia has played poorly, as they have held a lead at one point in both losses and have scored an average of 25.5 points in those games.

While conducting its annual New Student Elections, The University Board of Elections released a link to a voting ballot Oct. 7 that omitted several eligible candidates from the options. Upon discovering this mistake, the UBE sent out a new ballot in which several races were not conducted through ranked choice voting as required by UBE policy, necessitating a runoff election to choose the winners for four NSE races.

Every year, the minute October hits, texts begin popping up on my phone with the annual question, “What are we doing for Halloween?” I usually sit back and wait until one of my friends proposes a brilliant idea, knowing that we will likely end up throwing on a pair of fairy wings for the 100th time. But this year, I’ve compiled a list of group costume ideas to save us — and any college friend group — some brainstorming time. Fit for duos, trios and even larger groups, these costumes can easily be pulled off by the time Halloweekend rolls around next Thursday, and they might even result in a killer Instagram post.

No. 4 Virginia will take on No. 2 North Carolina Friday in one of the most anticipated matchups of the year in Chapel Hill, N.C. As the end of the regular season approaches, both teams are gearing up for a high-stakes match that could have major implications for conference standings and seedings for the ACC Tournament. With a win, the Cavaliers would pass the Tar Heels in the conference standings and claim the top spot in the ACC. The stakes are obviously high and pulling off the win will not be easy, but a victory could be the crown jewel of Coach Ole Keusgen’s inaugural season as the leader of this program.

As many undergraduates face difficulties obtaining sought-after volunteer positions at U.Va. Health, students concerned about accessing medical service opportunities have taken matters into their own hands. In January, four students founded the Clean Plate Project, a student-led organization in which members cook meals for the families of patients at U.Va. Children’s Hospital. Unlike medical service programs that require certification or training, the CPP asks that students only demonstrate a willingness to help provide comfort to dozens of families at U.Va. Health.

There are reports that upperclassmen residences are having a mold problem. This is not the first time that this problem has arisen, and it will likely not be the last. Nevertheless, it is unacceptable and poses a genuine health risk to affected students. What is particularly shocking about this recurrence, though, is not the mold itself. Rather, what is shocking is that mold is just the tip of the iceberg. Despite the presence of subpar living conditions for some students on Grounds, the University has recently made a series of decisions that implicitly deprioritize the maintenance of spaces which contribute to student well-being, in favor of flashy new spaces that paper over existing cracks. In order to truly promote the overall health of its students, the University must place a priority on the maintenance of spaces that already exist.

The University claims to be a leader in the field of education. As a result, students are often subjected to the latest pedagogical advancements and educational technology. While some of these ventures do pay off, others fall short. A notable example of the latter is the flipped classroom model, where students take notes on lectures as homework prior to class, then work through problems in class with the assistance of the teacher. The goal of the flipped class model is to encourage student engagement by linking the material learned directly to the time put in. In short, flipped course models put the onus of learning on the students. While a creative change, this class structure sets students up to fail, and is a dangerous educational precedent to set.

Basketball season is finally here, which means the time to pack John Paul Jones Arena is upon us. Men’s basketball is arguably the most exciting sport to watch in-person at the University, as during every home game, JPJ erupts with ear-shattering cheers and the roaring blares of the in-stand band. There are over a dozen home games, several of which have exciting themes. Going to men’s basketball games is one of the best parts of the University experience — but seating is limited. Here’s what folks need to know about the experience and Interim Coach Ron Sanchez’s squad.

The Honor Committee met Sunday and voted to pass new sanctioning bylaws that were first introduced in their Oct. 6 meeting. The bylaws outline a pre-sanctioning process where the Counsel for the Community — the support officer representing both the reporter and the Community of Trust in an Honor trial — has the opportunity to present their own arguments in a Panel for Sanctions, rather than relying solely on the reporter's input. This change addressed concerns that the reporter’s perspective has been overemphasized and the Community of Trust’s interests have been underemphasized in the sanctioning process.

The pulse within any fraternity party on Grounds beats at the command of the DJ, and for many fraternities, this DJ is one of their very own. Every weekend, these brothers are tasked with filling the basement with much more than just background noise — rather the perfect mix that will keep students dancing well into the early hours of the morning. However, being a frat DJ is much more than just playing music — it also means being part of a community dedicated to creating lively atmospheres with immersive sets.
