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.

Returning to Memorial Gymnasium after sweeping Duke, Virginia took on No. 25 North Carolina Sunday in its second home game of the weekend. The Cavaliers (15-4, 5-3 ACC) aimed to defend their seven-match home win streak and make a statement against a quality ACC team, but they fell short on both counts. Virginia took the match to the final set, but the Tar Heels (15-2, 7-1 ACC) won 3-2.

Coming off a tough loss at No. 10 Clemson, it is easy to understand why Virginia football fans may be feeling discouraged about their team’s odds of making a bowl game. Trailing 38-10 after three quarters, it simply looked like the Cavaliers were outmatched in every way. The offense sputtered, and besides an early interception, the defense was hopeless to stop the Tigers. Overall, it was not a pretty sight. However, this does not mark the beginning of the end for Virginia, as some are suggesting.

When Tony Bennett retired last week, a wave of shock shot through the world of college basketball. There was confusion over the timing of the decision. There were conspiracies about what could possibly be the reason for it. There was a slew of former players, fellow coaches and unbelieving fans lining up to sing Bennett’s praises. But most importantly, there was one consensus question being asked — where do we go from here?

One of the few positives of the 2008 financial crisis has been the increased state legislative focus on personal financial literacy and education courses. In fact, 35 states now mandate a personal finance course. This includes Virginia, which since 2011 has mandated that high school students take a one-credit course on the subject to graduate high school. While such high school personal finance courses help students gain rudimentary knowledge of the economy, the University also has a responsibility to help expand such knowledge. Therefore, the University must implement a mandatory first-year personal finance and literacy course to provide students with the necessary skills for college and thereafter.

These past few years, I have found nothing more annoying than someone who introduced themself as a fourth-year student and tacked on the seemingly obligatory “I don’t want to talk about it” at the end — as if being in the final year of college was the equivalent of qualifying for AARP or getting fitted for dentures. So imagine my surprise throughout this fall as I have continuously introduced myself by saying, “I’m Grace. I’m from the Boston area. I’m a fourth-year. I can't believe it. I don’t want to talk about it.”

“Is the UN Worth Our Continued Support”
By William M. Jeffries
Seven years after its creation, writer William M. Jeffries analyzes the United Nations and its benefits and shortcomings. He states that while there are two sides to the argument, failures of the U.N. are more likely to be headlines, therefore skewing public opinion. He believes that judging the U.N. for its failures and disregarding its successes is not allowing for the time it takes for world peace to be built, and the U.N. is a vital stepping stone to world peace.

My friends, who endearingly call me “Gramma Grace,” love to joke that I am the grandma of the friend group. With my love for 1960s pop hits and 1970s movie stars, my respect for traditional values and my — sometimes overbearing — maternal instincts, I can’t say they’re too far off. But any grandma-like qualities I may possess are not thanks to myself. Throughout my childhood, I have been lucky enough to live with both of my grandmothers for prolonged periods of time, making them two of my closest friends and biggest role models.

The glitz and glam of Hollywood and the honor and prestige of the University may not seem to have a lot in common besides their shared work hard, play hard energy. However, this year, both of these institutions are celebrating 50 year anniversaries of sorts. In 1974, the University welcomed the first fully co-educational class in its history. Meanwhile on the west coast, Hollywood was in its glory days of what film fans often call “the golden age” of cinema.
