The catalyst to Virginia’s success Wednesday night, as per usual, was sophomore guard Kymora Johnson. Coming off of a 20-point outing in a Nov. 17 win against La Salle, Johnson kept the hot hand with 22 more points against Alabama State. She scored the game’s first five points to set the tone for a commanding 85-50 win for the Cavaliers (4-1, 0-0 ACC) over the Hornets (2-2, 0-0 SWAC) at John Paul Jones Arena.

The Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy is competitive — already a selective school, its academics are rigorous. On top of it all, it uses a grading policy which “suggests” that all courses be curved to a 3.5 GPA, something which ensures a distribution that limits the number of “A” grades given in any class. The “Batten Curve,” as it is known colloquially, has drawn skepticism from Batten students who question whether it truly serves their best interest — with some advocating for its change or even removal.

In recent years, University community members have spearheaded several initiatives to amplify Native American voices.

Corn pudding, a Midwestern comfort dish, has been a fixture of my family’s Thanksgiving table for years. I like to describe corn pudding as cornbread, but better — it’s made with a velvety sour cream batter filled with corn kernels that pop with sweetness. As corny as it sounds, the resulting dish brings dinner guests together over a shared sweet-and-savory experience.

This is the penultimate regular season game of 2024 and the home finale, with seniors set to be honored during a pregame ceremony.

It started with one goal. An isolated burst of fortune midway through a season bereft of any.

Nothing says “early season basketball” like two undefeated teams facing off at a neutral site somewhere very far away. Last November, Virginia took on Wisconsin and West Virginia in Fort Myers, Fla. This year, the Cavaliers (3-0, 0-0 ACC) are going even further from John Paul Jones Arena to take on No. 11 Tennessee in Nassau, Bahamas to open the Continental Tire Baha Mar Championship Thursday at 9:30 p.m. on CBS. The Volunteers (4-0, 0-0 SEC) will present a great challenge to a Virginia squad that has performed well but has yet to face elite competition.

As the next semester approaches, many students are engrossed in preparing for spring club recruitment. This speaks to a growing trend of selectivity in Contracted Independent Organizations on Grounds. Across the nation and on Grounds, students are increasingly faced with single digit acceptance rates for student-run clubs at a time when employers seem to care more and more about extracurriculars. Just a generation ago, club competitiveness was not an issue, and clubs were seen as a way for students to participate in and redefine campus culture. We need to reconsider how we think about extracurriculars — this hyper-competitive and exclusive culture which implicitly frames clubs as resume-padders must be stopped.

The Honor Committee convened Sunday to discuss how panelists should approach questioning during panels for sanctions, specifically whether questions directed at reporters should be limited to "relevant" topics and how to define relevance. The Committee recently decided to allow reporters to be questioned during a Panel for Sanctions, so while there was not a formal change to existing policy, the discussion aimed to finetune this questioning process

Coach Tony Elliott gave sophomore quarterback Anthony Colandrea the keys to the program back in August. He knew it was always going to be a bumpier ride with Colandrea behind the wheel than with graduate quarterback Tony Muskett. But Elliott, and Virginia’s coaching staff more broadly, banked on the potential of the younger signal-caller. Three months later, it is time for Elliott to pump the brakes on a season careening toward disaster.

Virginia squash kicked off its season in a two-game slate Saturday and Sunday at home in the McArthur Squash Center. The No. 6 women’s team (2-0, 0-0 MASC) handily defeated both No. 9 Columbia and No. 7 Yale by a large margin while the No. 6 men’s team (1-1, 0-0 MASC) took down the No. 8 Lions but faltered versus the No. 2 Bulldogs.

Mairead Crotty, news writer during The Cavalier Daily’s 2014-15 term and Class of 2017 alumna, remembers reading the “horrifying” article in Clark library. The news made its way across Grounds, spreading between glowing screens as students passed the link to Facebook friends.

Through compelling exhibits and engaging events, The Fralin Museum of Art has made great strides to evoke an appreciation for creativity, and community among University students, local residents and Charlottesville’s youth. But beyond its displays of noteworthy artwork, the Fralin commits itself to empowering children through the arts. This is evident in its Early Visions program — a 10 week-long after-school program that brings together children from the Boys and Girls Club of Central Virginia with University student-artistic mentors.

The Stews are living the dream. Their mere existence embodies the pinnacle of the proverbial “college band.” After forming at Auburn University, members Preston Hall, Blake Dobbs, Wyatt Griffith and Bennett Baugus transcended the label traditionally associated with house bands by leaving school to travel the country, playing their own music to sold-out audiences. This journey brought them to another venue in a college town — Thursday night, The Stews brought their blend of indie rock and metal with pop grooves to The Jefferson Theater, performing for a largely college-age crowd.

Virginia women’s basketball took down La Salle at home Sunday, dominating 76-47 in what was a strong performance all around from the Cavaliers (3-1, 0-0 ACC). Virginia’s defense gave the Explorers (1-3, 0-0 Atlantic 10) trouble offensively, particularly inside the paint — while the Cavaliers saw strong offensive contributions from a handful of players.
