Earlier this month marked the 45th anniversary of The Cavalier Daily’s independence. On April 6, 1979 after a protracted conflict with the University over censorship, we became a fully independent news organization completely separate from University oversight and thus, better able to fully hold the University accountable to its professed mission and its students. While an institutional imperative to promote accountability has always been a driving force of student journalism, it was not until independence was achieved that this imperative could be fully realized. Official independence, however, does not mean that we are in any way distanced from the University community. As students who live and work in this space and as journalists who have a unique responsibility to report on it, we are still implicitly connected to the University community. In this way, The Cavalier Daily is able to inhabit a unique and important space which allows us to reflect and amplify a range of local concerns and voices, especially those of students.

Though trailers and reviews might suggest that they are cut from the same cloth, going into “Monkey Man” and expecting another “John Wick” clone would be a mistake. The movie is written and directed by its star, Dev Patel, and is a bloodthirsty action-thriller set in Mumbai that draws on elements of Hindu mythology and present Indian political divides to create a fairly new type of action movie. Visually exhilarating with a confusing, yet incredible, soundtrack, the film was built for its theatrical release. However, its attempt at a meaningful take on social and economic divides felt vague and limited, resulting in a confusing blend of monkey business and lackluster profundity.

Virginia Athletics emcee Jamar Hicks has become a staple at sporting events in Charlottesville over the past few years. Hicks is easily recognized at Scott Stadium and John Paul Jones Arena by his enthusiastic announcer’s voice and bright orange pants, and thanks to him, students and fans alike can expect to be thoroughly entertained throughout their gameday experience. While every Virginia men’s basketball and football game is played alongside Hicks’ booming voice, sometimes the most difficult moments on the court or the field are when Hicks shines brightest.

Tiramisù is my favorite dessert — a weighty claim for a food writer, I know. But I stand by my words. Delicate yet rich, tiramisù is a beautifully refined dish that delights the palate with just a few ingredients.

After a controversy regarding editorial oversight of the paper caused The Cavalier Daily to disaffiliate from the University, newspaper alumni continue to stress the importance of the paper’s independent reporting 45 years after the split. The disaffiliation was sparked by the newspaper’s long-term refusal to acknowledge the authority of the University’s Media Board of Directors, which was tasked with overseeing student publications, and codified The Cavalier Daily’s financial and editorial independence.

Exploring Grounds in August as a wide-eyed, apprehensive 18-year-old, I noticed many of the same buzzwords floating around — “the Corner,” “the Lawn” and, most prominently among many of my peers, the “Freshman 15.” The term is thrown around in a jokingly self-deprecating manner, but it is shadowed by the premonition of weight gain in the midst of our new college lifestyles.

The story of men’s lacrosse offensive coordinator Kevin Cassese and Coach Lars Tiffany began two decades ago, at an off-the-beaten-track lacrosse program in New York.
