On a warm Halloween evening, Virginia women’s soccer capped off its regular season campaign with a 1-0 win over in-state rival No. 12 Virginia Tech. The Cavaliers (12-5-0, 5-5-0 ACC) controlled the game from start to finish, holding the Hokies (11-4-3, 6-2-2 ACC).
To The University Community,
Over a succinct and thrilling twelve-day rollout for his new album, Tyler Okonma — better known as “Tyler, the Creator” — excited fans with a cross-country promotional eighteen-wheeler. The campaign included uncanny visuals of a masked Tyler, both in the album cover and music videos to two lead-up singles. In the waking hours of Monday, October 28, the rollout culminated in the release of “CHROMAKOPIA”, his eighth studio album. The project provides a snapshot of his internal confusion between a challenged upbringing and adult stardom, packaged into a discombobulating, 53 minute-long musical experience.
Election-denier, Jan. 6 attendee, Trump loyalist — these are all phrases to describe the current Republican Congressional candidate, John McGuire, in the district which encapsulates the University. Disturbingly, these phrases and the standards they connote have become something of a trend for Republican candidates in the University’s district, similarly defining our current Congressional Representative Bob Good. The qualities Good and McGuire hold — absolute loyalty to one political figure and a lack of support for the sanctity of elections — fail to meet even the lowest benchmark for what we ought to demand in our Republican political representatives. Such inadequate representation must not continue unabated.
As the nation processes the recent election results, music emerges as a powerful medium for reflection on our shared values and collective aspirations. During this period of transition and uncertainty, music can set a thoughtful tone and help Americans connect with the deeper significance of the democratic process and its aftermath.
Student Council passed a resolution calling on the University to offer formal academic accommodations for students observing Ramadan, as well as explored the possibility of adding an amendment to have similar accommodations for other fasting holidays like Yom Kippur and Good Friday. Additionally, Student Council heard updates on an extension of the ban on the University Guide Service’s historical tours, and Michelle Bair, director of Hoos First — a program dedicated to supporting first-generation and limited-income students at the University — shared updates on current and upcoming initiatives.
In a game with few implications, Virginia men’s soccer finished off an unwavering Mary Washington squad that ranks No. 1 in NCAA Division III. Closing out the season on a high note at Klöckner Stadium, the Cavaliers (8-5-3, 3-3-2 ACC) matched their second-highest scoring total of the season in a 4-2 victory over the Eagles (15-1-1), who suffered their first loss of the season.

You went .500 and finished middle of the pack? Great, here’s one more chance to save your season against your conference’s best teams.
The University’s School of Engineering and Applied Science hosted their third annual Engineering Expo Friday afternoon in the Darden Courtyard of Thornton Hall as a part of the University’s Family Weekend. The Expo allowed Engineering undergraduate students to highlight their research projects as a part of Family Weekend, and was organized to highlight undergraduate research and demonstrate different ways in which the School of Engineering supports its students in conducting their research.
Class of 2025 recruit Chance Mallory officially decommitted from the men's basketball program Tuesday — a decision which comes just days after former coach Tony Bennett retired. While Mallory is keeping his options open, it is still possible that he returns to the Cavaliers although that prospect may be unlikely.
The Honor Committee met Sunday to outline plans for its upcoming International Student Days, set for Nov. 19 and Nov. 20. First launched in November, the annual event aims to bring together international students to discuss their perspectives on academic integrity and the Honor system. The Committee also introduced plans for a new graduate subcommittee, which is designed to improve communication with graduate students and establish mentorship opportunities for undergraduate support officers.
Virginia volleyball has exploded onto the college volleyball scene this season and is currently on pace for its strongest record since 2003. Now in the midst of ACC play, the Cavaliers have already claimed impressive wins against No. 16 Florida State, Miami and Syracuse. This week at home, however, Virginia will face arguably its two toughest opponents yet — No. 1 Pittsburgh and No. 12 Southern Methodist.
1950s November 4, 1950 “Plans To Obtain Phones In Houses At Impasse” By Lew Firey The newly built dorms on Grounds had only two phones for use, despite the fact that 280 students resided in the dorms. Obviously, getting time to use the phone became extremely hard for students and frustrating for faculty. Unfortunately, the University faced several obstacles in bringing more phones to the dorms, and plans for more phone lines weren’t set until spring!
The University is working to establish itself as a national leader in data science during a time when the field itself is expanding rapidly. Most notably, the new School of Data Science was founded in 2019, with its dedicated building opening earlier this year. This University’s focus on data extends beyond the new school — it has also recently invested substantially in developing its Northern Virginia campus, which offers programs noticeably concentrated in data science or related fields like AI and Information Technology, a deliberate choice, as Northern Virginia is often considered the global hub of data centers. These University projects provide a good example of forward-looking efforts to keep up with global trends. However, in doing so, the University turns a blind eye to the drawbacks of data science — data science as it stands today is simply not sustainable in the long run.
Interim Coach Ron Sanchez announced Tuesday that senior guard Jalen Warley will leave the program and enter the transfer portal. After Tony Bennett retired, any student-athlete in the men’s basketball program received the option to transfer during a 30-day window, which closes Nov. 16.
If you attended the recent Bari Weiss discussion on free speech, it may seem that the question of free speech is ubiquitous at our University. Indeed, not only the question of free speech but also its celebration is broached broadly across Grounds — several updates posted by the University suggest that the idea that free speech on Grounds is prospering is old news. However, digging into survey details reveals claims that free speech is wholly alive and thriving at our University to be more like false news. Though the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression placed the University first in a recent national free speech ranking, much of the data suggests a far more unfree environment than a number one placing indicates. It is an environment where many students are uncomfortable sharing their own opinions, and where others are too comfortable silencing those with whom they disagree.
The third ballot’s the charm, as they say in the University Board of Elections. Every October, first-year students participate in the New Student Elections — run by the UBE — by voting once on their representatives for Student Council and Class Council. But this year was different. This year, students had to vote three separate times as a result of serious administrative errors by UBE — the first ballot failed to list all candidates and the second did not offer ranked-choice voting which is guaranteed in the UBE constitution. To remedy the errors in the second ballot, UBE hosted an impromptu runoff election, which concluded earlier this month — and there is no doubt this chaotic run-off elections placed undue stress upon both candidates and voters. In this exceptionally visible failure at all levels, the UBE cast doubt upon its own capabilities as an organization which is supposed to protect student self-governance.
There is an old saying that perfectly sums up the 2024 Virginia football team as of late — “when it rains, it pours.” Well, the Cavaliers are practically underwater at this point. Just about everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong in two blowout losses to Clemson and North Carolina. Offensive coordinator Des Kitchings and his offense have faced their fair share of criticism for those defeats, but the top culprit is not on that end. It is team defense. Unimpactful pass rush, porous pass coverage and a lack of talent have doomed this unit that ranks 92nd in points per game allowed. Over its past three contests, Virginia’s defense has gotten even worse and allowed nearly 38 points per game, good for 114th in the country.
