Fresh off of his first-ever Best Director recognition for “Oppenheimer” at the Academy Awards in 2024, Christopher Nolan has found his next project. Universal Pictures recently confirmed that Nolan’s next feature film will be an adaptation of Homer’s “The Odyssey,” an epic Greek poem from eighth century B.C.E.

Virginia women’s basketball traveled to Blacksburg, where it faced all-too-familiar Virginia Tech in an important ACC matchup Thursday.

While Virginia also left last season’s final Commonwealth Clash victorious, this marks its first win in Blacksburg since 2020.

Hidden on a strip of Main Street that you’ve probably passed a dozen times, Asian Express appears subtle, almost incognito, blending in with the row of unassuming storefronts. But step inside, and you’re greeted by an inviting coziness that promises more than your average takeout stop. From plump dumplings to savory noodle bowls, Asian Express quietly surprises you, delivering both cuisine and ambiance that’ll leave you wondering why it hadn’t piqued your interest sooner. Neighboring Benny Deluca’s on Main Street past the 10th Street intersection, this place is an easy stroll for a hungry college student. Yes, it is easy to miss but it is also worth every penny — or, dare I say, every dumpling.

There was the crush of white pom-poms pregame, flopping haphazardly at first and then with growing conviction. Before long, they jounced in unity, with each beat of the music. The crowd roared, too, as a close game rattled on.

Southern Methodist junior guard Boopie Miller rose. He stopped his dribble, picked up the ball and rose, falling to his right behind the three-point line, the eyes of a standing stadium on him. And then, with the final seconds flashing away in a game his team trailed by two points, Miller shot.

We uterus-bearing, sexually-active folk are no stranger to contraceptive methods. In fact, the sky's the limit with options to protect us from … how shall I put it … the unexpected products of our sexual encounters. And in the truest sense, there is no time like the present to consider the many birth control options available to us, each with their own unique personality.

Whether in the library or on Mad Bowl, it is impossible to avoid the fashion crazes which make their way into students' wardrobes every semester. Throughout 2024, trends such as leopard print, barn jackets and Adidas Sambas flourished. These casual but chic styles could be easily dressed up or down — a fashion necessity as students move from afternoon discussion sections to nights on the Corner.

Students who enjoy dancing find themselves immersed in a myriad of dance forms at the University — from K-pop to swing dancing and everything in between. Yet, students who have not had the opportunity to explore dance before college may struggle to find a place to start. One student-run dance organization hopes to change this — The Mighty.

As the adage goes, nothing lasts forever. Decay is inevitable — at least in concept. Virginia women’s swimming and diving has continued to defy that old phrase at the Aquatic and Fitness Center. Saturday, the Cavalier women beat Virginia Tech 215 to 85 while Virginia’s men were bested 198-102 by the Hokies. Coach Todd DeSorbo’s bunch has won four straight national championships, and there is reason to believe they will continue to be a frontrunner for years to come.

The 2024-25 campaign for Virginia women’s basketball had been a tale of two phases. The first was a ghastly start in which the Cavaliers (10-7, 2-3 ACC) entered the new year with zero wins against Power Four competition. But as 2025 arrived, so did a spark of hope. Virginia earned consecutive ACC wins entering Sunday’s clash with No. 14 Duke. A chance to continue a promising ascent in the conference standings arrived as the Blue Devils (13-4, 4-1 ACC) entered John Paul Jones Arena. Unfortunately, that chance was gradually fumbled away as Duke clawed its way to a 60-55 victory, and Coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton’s squad was left with another frustrating loss. However, the Cavaliers held a lead for most of the game.

With three seconds left in the first half, Stanford graduate guard Jaylen Blakes picked off an ill-advised pass by Virginia junior guard Andrew Rohde and drove down to the three-point line. One leap from behind the line and bank off the backboard later, and the three-point shot was good at the buzzer, sending the Cardinal (11-5, 3-2 ACC) into halftime with a 10-point lead over the Cavaliers (8-8, 1-4 ACC).

Tired after continuously being on the road and playing opponents throughout the academic winter break, Virginia arrived in Clemson, S.C., Thursday evening. While some may have expected for this fatigue to plague the Cavaliers (10-6, 2-2 ACC) with their lingering issues, such as inaccurate shooting and struggling to hold their own in the paint, Virginia stepped up to the plate and delivered.

There is an elephant in the room for Virginia men’s basketball. Some have whispered it during this 2024-25 season, in which the Cavaliers are a measly 8-7 and 1-3 in the ACC. Others have certainly thought it, but may have found it easier to place the blame of a lost season and a plummeting program elsewhere.

Anyone who has been here for more than a semester has probably heard the term “great and good,” a term which stems from University President Jim Ryan’s 2030 plan. The plan seeks to position the University to be the leading public university in the country. A key part of this plan is establishing second-year residential communities on Grounds and requiring second-year students — in addition to first-year students — to live on Grounds. To accomplish this goal, the University plans to build two new residence halls on Emmet Street and Ivy Road for second-years.
