Juggling Third-year College student Michael Manning was introduced to juggling at a young age by his dad's high school friend, who gave him a book called, "Juggling for the Complete Klutz" for Christmas.
The facebook is an online social network -- which, in college code, means quite a useful alternative to homework. Even though many students may view the facebook as an innocent Web site, the University Police, in conjunction with Vice President for Student Affairs Patricia Lampkin, sent an e-mail about two weeks ago to students expressing concern over the facebook and other similar sites. The e-mail warns that "including information of a personal nature makes these programs enticing for predators ... Before posting information on the Internet, please be aware that the information becomes available to those outside the University community." First-year College student Sonia Taneja provides her picture, residence hall and cell phone number on her facebook profile. Taneja said although she understands there is a line that must be drawn on how much personal information people put on their profile, she does not believe the information she provides jeopardizes her safety. "Mine is just contact information, not I-can-stalk-you information," she said. Third-year College student Rachel Duffié said she views the facebook as one of the safer online profile sites. "I thought twice about posting personal information, but the fact that only U.Va.

In the global war on terrorism, one of the largest issues -- and one particularly emphasized by the media -- is the issue of detainees and their treatment by other nations. As terrorist threats continue to plague issues of international security, the question of whether law enforcement agencies or military units should take charge in regulating these increasing security concerns remains undecided. Thursday, the University Law School held a forum to discuss these topics and other issues pertinent to the field of international relations today.
Your 21st birthday only happens once. Well, that's not entirely true -- if you're tricky and understand the International Date Line, it can happen twice.
The time of year has come again where I reflect on all that Northeastern Ohio has done for me. This process involves the use of, shall we say, "rose-colored glasses," but I'll don them for a while to express gratitude to my Midwestern roots. After two and a half years of being here, though, is it time for me to start counting my Virginian blessings as well?
The reality of the post-college world strikes many an unsuspecting fourth year. But as their peers apply for employment, fourth-year gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students who are entering the workforce must also cope with impending issues of acceptance in life outside the University -- a transition many find difficult. "I think that the issues that anyone would face in that situation [of transition] are more prevalent for LGBT students," said Joy Pugh, program coordinator of the University's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Center.
With the Virginia gubernatorial election results in, the presidents of two of the largest political groups at the University -- the University Democrats and College Republicans -- are beginning to think about what this means for the future of the Commonwealth. University Democrats President Dave Wasserman sees Tim Kaine's victory in a positive light and said the courtesy the candidates displayed during the victory and concession speeches was a relief. "In a rough and tumble campaign, it was nice to see that each candidate was gracious," Wasserman said.
While Tim Kaine was victorious in the Virginia gubernatorial election Tuesday, his campaign can be considered a failure in that it neglected to include the all-too-obvious but compelling slogan, "Kaine is Able." As for his opponent, Jerry Kilgore, I only wish he had run as the Republican candidate in the 2000 presidential election instead of this year's gubernatorial race.
The Nov. 7 Life feature, "Life's little secrets," claimed that Robert Kennedy was a member of the Seven Society.
"Man, of course I can't get up like I used to. Wish I could. Ever since I was shot..." It was my third week in the United States, and I was playing basketball on the Dell in the very late afternoon, trying to impress a bunch of fellow young men by performing a two-handed dunk with a ball I had bought for $16.76 from Wal-Mart. The light coming onto the court was soft, absolutely perfect for running about and trying to catch passes hurled through the air at great speeds.
Lots of little children declare they will some day explore the reaches of outer space. But how many of those dreamers make their wishes come true? Gregory Olsen -- a 1971 Ph.D graduate of the School of Engineering, who visited the University on Tuesday to talk about his experiences in space -- made that dream a reality. Olsen is the third space tourist, or, as he likes to refer to himself, "space flight participant." He paid an estimated $20 million to go into space. "You can't put a price tag on it," he said when asked if the experience was worth the cost.
