I wanted to say how pleased I was by the recent PBS airing of The Parking Lot Movie. I worked in and around the Corner as an undergraduate almost forty years ago.
I am writing to respond to Travis Ortiz's Oct. 19 column ("Scientific freedom"). Although I commend Ortiz for his opposition to the civil investigative demand by Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli against former University Prof.
Mike Lang's article, "U.Va. employees out-earn other officials" (Oct. 19) illuminated some very important information when it comes to how the University values its employees.
Although Student Council's response to the recent bullying-related suicides is well-intentioned, its actions are misguided. Medical School representative Erik Criman is a bit oblivious in his belief that "this isn't a gay issue" or a straight issue.
While running for office, President Barack Obama promised that if elected, he would get us off Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries' (OPEC's) oil within 10 years. Two years have gone by, and we still do not have a plan.
Irresponsible, filthy, obsolete, negligent, short-sighted - probably not words we would want to use to describe ourselves.
When I decided to leave my home state of Kentucky to attend the University, I thought I had wisely invested my out-of-state tuition money and, more importantly, my future in a community of students and faculty who uphold a unique honor code and a communion of trust between each individual.
I admire The Cavalier Daily's Ombudsman, Tim Thornton, for unabashedly stumping for The Cavalier Daily ("Getting the message across," Oct.
Thomas Jefferson once said, "Experience has shown that, even under the best forms of government, those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny." Only the Honor Committee could claim to hold Mr. Jefferson in such high regard and yet fail so completely to heed this warning. The Committee began discussions Oct.
Kudos to Matt Cameron for calling for a true "Meat-Free Monday" in the dining halls of U.Va. ("A meatless proposal," Oct.
It seems that The Cavalier Daily is focusing more of its stories on the Honor Committee and rightfully so.
Carrie Filipetti's column "The Israel story" (Oct. 5), would have been far more effective if it acknowledged the truth behind repeated worldwide condemnations of Israel's behavior.
In the Oct. 4 edition of The Cavalier Daily, I came across the "Featured online reader comment" and could not help but feel the need to express my own opinion concerning James Wong's comment.
The U.Va. School of Nursing is delighted to report that we were ranked among the top ten nursing Ph.D.
In the midst of a rash of violent attacks against students - some of which occurred right across the street from University property - why does the University stick to its policy that denies students, faculty and staff the right to protect themselves using the only sensible tool for fending off a rapist or mugger?
Austin Raynor's Sept. 28 column, "Behind the veil," about the French ban on Islamic veils was well-intentioned but misguided. It seems obvious that any "peaceful religious expression" would allow the participant to end the "expression" without harm to themselves.
Last week, UVa Beyond Coal held one of the most successful general interest meetings on Grounds - turning out 50 students.
Our neighborhood streets need the help of the University family - students, faculty and staff - to maintain a safe environment for all who travel them.
John Wooden, Basketball Hall of Famer as a player and coach, once said, "Sports do not build character - they reveal it." I believe this is a wise assessment; however, I can say that for the first time, I was not proud of the character revealed by several of my peers this past weekend at the men's soccer game against Wake Forest. I was a little more than surprised as I perused a letter to the editor entitled "Soccer HOO-ligans" (Sept.
Ginny Robinson, in "Majority rules" (Sept. 20), successfully turned a rather common-sense Supreme Court case into a horror story complete with the extermination of Christianity and the arrival of the newest contracted independent organization on Grounds: "Hoo's in the Mob." The case in question, Hastings v.
