No. 3 Virginia field hockey welcomed William & Mary at home Sunday in a non-conference clash after three consecutive ACC games. Fresh off a tough 1-0 victory over No. 9 Duke in Durham, N.C., the undefeated No. 3 Cavaliers (9-0, 3-0 ACC) earned a 4-1 win over the unranked Tribe (0-10, 0-1 CAA) to continue their perfect season.
In a sea of orange and blue, the Virginia swim and dive team dove into the first meet of the season Saturday, which featured an exhibition intrasquad competition with the Naval Academy. The Aquatic & Fitness Center was filled to the brim with Cavalier fans hoping to get a glimpse of the many stars of Virginia swimming. The two schools battled it out in the first competition of the 2024-25 season, with Virginia swimmers dominating all races but one.
It is the end of September, and with that comes the end of another Major League Baseball season. This year, nine former members of the Virginia baseball program took the field for eight different big league clubs at nine different positions. Utility player Chris Taylor and relief pitcher Daniel Lynch IV, who each spent three years in Charlottesville in the 2010s, will look to continue their respective seasons as the Los Angeles Dodgers and Kansas City Royals make playoff pushes.
For the opening match of its ACC season, Virginia played Wake Forest in an intense game Friday. The Demon Deacons (8-4, 0-1 ACC) took the lead early, winning the first two sets, but the Cavaliers (11-1, 1-0 ACC) remained unphased and rebuffed the would-be sweep with three straight wins of their own, securing the match with a final score of 13-25, 24-26, 25-23, 25-16, 15-7.
The night arrived soggy and slick, and it remained that way as misting rain ushered in a terse second half, a wet field glistening beneath the lights. Then No. 2 Stanford, stymied the whole slip-sliding night, finally skidded past Virginia.
Virginia women’s soccer fell for the third time in a row Friday night in a road game against North Carolina. The No. 19 Cavaliers (8-3-0, 1-3-0 ACC) were coming off a two-game skid during which they were held scoreless, and though Virginia found the net twice against the No. 4 Tar Heels (11-1-0, 4-1-0 ACC), the visitors fell short in a 3-2 defeat.
No. 3 Virginia field hockey traveled down to Durham, N.C. Friday to face No. 9 Duke for their first in-conference road game of the season. The undefeated Cavaliers (8-0, 3-0 ACC) won a defensive showdown to closely eke past the Blue Devils (4-4, 0-1 ACC) in a 1-0 victory.
After making the trek up north this week, Virginia cross country competed in the Nuttycombe Invitational in Madison, Wis., Friday afternoon. The Cavaliers, who had not raced at Nuttycombe since 2019, finished 11th place in both the men’s and women’s meets, which featured many of the country’s strongest teams. No. 2 Brigham Young grabbed the win on the men’s side, while No. 5 Washington took home the women’s title.
For several months, a vacancy haunted the former home of Fry’s Spring Station after it shut down in 2023. High operation costs proved insurmountable for the warm do-it-all restaurant. However, a new tenant quickly claimed the prime location near Grounds — Pi-Napo. The pizza restaurant opened Aug. 22, and I decided to give it a try this week with a housemate. While on the pricier side for pizza, it was the best I’ve had in Charlottesville. The restaurant is the perfect place to spend an evening with friends or family, as it’s sure to bring you a taste of home.
Virginia swimming and diving asserted its dominance as one of the premier NCAA programs after last year’s successful season and strong representation at this summer’s Olympic Games in Paris. Under the guidance of Coach Todd DeSorbo, the Cavaliers will look to build upon these recent successes as they open their season Saturday in the Aquatic Fitness Center against Navy.
1950s October 2, 1958 “Runk Warns Fraternities On Conduct At University And Women’s Colleges” By Peter Toms Before Runk was known as the best dining hall on Grounds, he was the Advisor to Students, and he had to instruct fraternities to behave more responsibly when visiting nearby women’s colleges and when hosting students of those universities. He states that the way fraternities are acting was “helping to cast discredit on the University by their sloppy appearance.” He also makes it clear that hazing is not acceptable on grounds, and that any hazing will warrant immediate closure of that fraternity for good.
Student Council unanimously passed an annual budget of $233,981.75 for this academic year — a reduction of nearly 50 percent from last year’s budget — at their General Body meeting Tuesday. Student Council also discussed updates and issues related to transportation on and around Grounds, including increases to the number of buses on the Silver Line, insufficient Safe Ride stops, concerns around the use of scooters on Grounds and the possibility of expanding the road near Hereford College and Runk Dining Hall.

The University is planning to expand yet again — the Board of Visitors Buildings and Grounds Committee has already chosen a site in the Emmet-Ivy area for new student housing. If all goes according to plan, this construction aims to accommodate all second-years in on-Grounds housing by the year 2030. To be clear, this is an exceptionally admirable goal — requiring second-years to live on-Grounds can foster a sense of community, alleviate the affordable housing crisis for Charlottesville residents and mitigate the stress of finding off-Grounds housing for students. But while the second-year housing expansion may be well intentioned, the manner in which it is being undertaken belies its fundamental goals. In fact, it is part of a barrage of large-scale construction projects which push the boundaries between the University and the neighboring Charlottesville community, projects which are so constant that they beg the question — will this expansion ever end?
Experts estimate that at least half of the world is bilingual. Yet, only 20 percent of Americans speak a second language. This extreme disparity is often attributed to insufficient investment in language education across all levels of the American education system. For example, while 92 percent of European students at lower levels study a world language, only 20 percent of K-12 students in America study a world language. Moreover, most European countries have national mandates which require students to take at least one year of a world language, and over 20 European nations have mandates which require two languages. The United States has no such national mandate, and only 10 states even require language education for high school students. In short, the United States’ language education program is woefully inadequate and translates to embarrassingly poor language skills.
The Echols Scholar Program is purported to be the one of the highest intellectual honors at the University. Before coming to Grounds, scholars are selected as beacons of engaged, interdisciplinary leadership. All first-year applicants are automatically considered for the program through their CommonApp applications, and rising second-years can apply in. These scholars are afforded two main benefits by virtue of their title — they receive priority course enrollment times and forgo the University’s general education requirements.
Donovan Golich — former associate director of accountability in the Policy, Accountability and Critical Events unit of Student Affairs — arrived at the University November of last year with the responsibility of handling hazing investigations, as well as other cases pertaining to student safety. After less than a year at the University, Golich has left his position amidst criticism over his handling of misconduct cases reported to PACE.
Striking tones of black and white images illuminate the walls of the Fralin Museum of Art as the exhibition titled “Holly Wright: Vanity” sits in its new temporary home in Charlottesville.
