Rapper and actor Ice Cube released his 11th studio album, “Man Down,” Nov. 22. Unfortunately, Cube’s prowess is subdued in this project, resulting in a decidedly glib product — not only is the flow uninspiring and his lyrics static, but his predictable cadence also means that clickbait lyrics are the only thing which works to retain the audience’s attention.
Coach George Gelnovatch smiles and claims innocence. He can never hear, he says, precisely what words junior goalkeeper Colin Gallagher shouts at the center of the players-only huddle moments before a Virginia men’s soccer game starts.
Under the lights at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Virginia will take on archrival Virginia Tech Saturday at 8 p.m. Both teams sit one win away from bowl eligibility, and everything is on the line — lose the game, and Virginia’s season is over. Could the Commonwealth Clash get any better?
Over the past few years, the American education system has been heavily exploited to promote local, political interests which have superseded and often imperiled educational goals. School boards, as a cornerstone of the American educational system, and state education departments, as a guarantor of equitable education, are designed to support educational performance and set a vision for their regions. However, they are increasingly a place not to try and bolster graduation rates or support student lunch access, but rather, to push political agendas onto students without real regard for education. Specifically, these agendas have problematically created vast disparities in educational material both between states and between counties — students are learning in environments radically different from those of their neighbors, even just a county over.
Students walking past Monroe Hall may have noticed a new feature in recent weeks — a small garden with a sign reading “Monroe Edible Patch.” Planted by Forest Patches, a student-led University initiative that creates diverse forest areas in small urban areas, the patch is part of a larger effort to reduce carbon levels on Grounds by planting more trees and plants in areas with sufficient space and lighting. This Monroe edible patch is the newest of several that the organization has planted around Grounds and is the first that features edible plants.
Virginia men’s and women’s squash were back in action over the weekend at home in the McArthur Squash Center. The No. 6 women’s team (3-1, 0-0 MASC) was defeated by No. 2 Pennsylvania but handedly defeated No. 25 Chatham in a sweep. Similarly, the No. 6 men’s team (2-2, 0-0 MASC) fell to the No. 1 Quakers and swept the No. 21 Cougars.
If the months-long press tour and myriad promotional rollouts somehow failed to make it clear, “Wicked” is here. “Wicked” is the first of a two-part cinematic series that adapts Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman’s iconic Tony-award winning origin story of the witches of Oz for the big screen — and what an adaptation it is. The set is marvelous, the costumes magnificent and the production unmistakably theatrical — and proud to be so.
Junior defender Nick Dang turned around to glance at the scoreboard. It read 4:30 — four minutes and 30 seconds left to preserve a one-goal lead in an increasingly chippy game.
After a two-week break from competition, Virginia wrestling was back in action Friday with a dual against No. 8 Michigan at Memorial Gymnasium. While the Cavaliers (2-0, 0-0 ACC) started off hot this year with wins over North Dakota State and The Citadel, they had not faced a team ranked nearly as high as the Wolverines (3-0, 0-0 Big Ten). Virginia’s momentum was put to a halt in a 29-12 defeat.
It was the first ever matchup between Virginia and Bethune-Cookman. Both teams took to the court, not knowing what the other was capable of. Very quickly, the Wildcats (2-4, 0-0 MEAC) realized they were in for a rude awakening against the Cavaliers (5-1, 0-0 ACC). A 10-point lead turned into 15, then 20, and kept growing until it got as large as 38 points.
This week, select Cavaliers from the men’s team and women’s team competed in their final and most important event of the individual season — the NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships. Play began at the Hurd Tennis Center in Waco, Texas. Nov. 17 and concluded Sunday. From the women’s team, graduate student Sara Ziodato, junior Annabelle Xu, senior Elaine Chervinsky, senior Melodie Collard and freshman Martina Genis Salas competed. Chervinsky upset the No. 1 seed to advance to the singles quarterfinals, and most incredibly, No. 3 team Chervinsky and Collard claimed Virginia women’s tennis’ first NCAA doubles championship title.
In its third-to-last game of the regular season, Virginia volleyball picked up its 21st win of the year with a sweep of Notre Dame at Memorial Gymnasium Sunday afternoon. The Cavaliers (21-8, 11-7 ACC) were catapulted to the win over the Fighting Irish (11-16, 4-14 ACC) by their seniors, fitting for the team’s senior day celebration.
Here he is, on a unicycle, at 2 a.m., 21 hours into an odyssey even his mother never believed would happen. He starts up the paved road of Observatory Hill. What hurts? Everything hurts. The leg muscles, pedaling upward for the 128th and final time. The knees, stabilizing the single wheel.
It was a bitter final game at Scott Stadium for Virginia football’s seniors, losing 33-7 to Southern Methodist. The loss ensures the Cavaliers, (5-6, 2-4 ACC) will finish with a losing conference record for the third straight season.
Despite the snow that had lingered on the Thomas Zimmer Cross Country Course earlier in the week, Virginia cross country raced on snow-free terrain in Madison, Wis. Saturday morning at the NCAA Cross Country Championships. The Cavalier men placed 14th while the women placed 21st, both one-spot improvements from last season.
Football makes money — and quite a lot of it. It is widely known that football is the most profitable college sport by an astronomically large margin. And because football is the cash cow of college sports, having a program that attracts fans and donors is essential for helping to fund programs that make less money such as tennis or swimming and diving. Football needs to succeed so that other programs have funding.
At Memorial Gymnasium Friday, Virginia volleyball faced No. 3 Louisville. The Cardinals (23-3, 15-1 ACC) were on a six-game win streak and continued their elite play by defeating the Cavaliers (20-8, 10-7 ACC). It was a hard-fought battle from Virginia though, who took Louisville to four sets after winning in the third set. This was the first time the Cavaliers won a set against a top-five team in program history.
The University celebrated the launch of its National Security Data and Policy Institute — the product of a $20 million dollar contract between the University and the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence — with a ribbon-cutting event at the Rotunda Friday. The event featured multiple presenters, including University President Jim Ryan, Virginia Senator Mark Warner and Director of National Intelligence Dr. Avril Haines.
