Watch your back, Ondrey

You probably think I'm pretty upset that my column didn't happen to fall on Valentine's Day -- that it ran on the Mondays before and after.

Isn't he lovely?

When Elizabeth Korbak and her classmates noticed Travis Tucker consistently missing lecture, they knew it was a good sign.

A 'note'worthy cause

Crowds of people vying to enter McLeod Hall, girls screaming "Have my babies!" and a packed auditorium can only mean one thing: It's time for another a capella concert.

Walk this way

This place is really remarkable, you know. I woke up far too early last Saturday, and as I trudged across the Lawn while the sun was rising and the cool wind was picking up, all I could think about (other than the immediate necessity of a shower and much more sleep) was how great it is here. I mean, the light at 5 a.m.

Dress to impress

With the number of University events coming up on the calendar as well as the various date functions and formals for sororities and fraternities, students often need a place to look for formal dresses and suits.

The naked truth about iTunes

I've had iTunes for awhile now, and although I'm pretty savvy about its nuances, I hadn't really thought about the magnitude of this program until just the other night. I'm hanging out in my room, listening to "Mmmbop," when I click on the "Shared Music" button to see what other libraries I can browse through. Technical note: iTunes has a feature that allows users on the iTunes network to share their music libraries with other people in their area.

Bookin' it

A re you finding it difficult to concentrate while you study? Are you getting worried because midterm exams seem to last all semester?

The fate of hate

By Amber Davis Cavalier Daily Associate Editor Although many individuals support diversity and organizations around Grounds do their best to facilitate racial harmony, serious racial incidents continue to arise.

The needful twitch

I'm not exactly sure how it started, but I absolutely cannot live without caffeine. As exciting as discussion sections are, I start to pull the head bob if I don't have a fix of some kind.

20 Questions

Every week, the Cavalier Daily asks a student 25 questions and allows him or her to eliminate five of them. This week's interviewee is Nrupa Jani, a fourth-year Spanish and Psychology double major who just returned from a semester in Valencia, Spain. Q: When was the last time you went to the zoo? A: I guess it was in India, where I have a lot of family.

Casting a spell

Describe yourself in haiku. No, you don't have to do it right now, but those who showed up to audition for the First Year Players' presentation of "Godspell" did. "Is a haiku 5-7-5 or 7-5-7?" someone mused. "This haiku thing's going to kill me," another student muttered. Upon heading down into the basement of Newcomb Hall last Saturday, students were greeted with a few forms to fill out before the actual audition process began.

Dealing with Mr. (or Mrs.) Right

When Rebecca Elaine Brooks watches "Sex and the City," she does not identify with Carrie and the girls in their pursuit for "Mr. Right." Instead, Brooks finds herself occasionally missing the throes and excitement of being a single woman surrounded by her girlfriends. Brooks, a fourth-year Nursing student, was married this past summer to her British boyfriend of two years.

I love you

I can't help but write about Valentine's Day today. I thought about pretending it didn't exist and writing about many other important matters like why anyone would drink DayQuil instead of taking the pills or how I could justify buying a $400 dollar pair of shoes.

Diplomat hypes high hopes for native Bosnia-Herzegovina

Those assembled in Jefferson Hall last Friday night were afforded a glimpse at the national issues of an area of southeastern Europe not often discussed. On short notice, Igor Davidovic, Bosnia-Herzegovinian Ambassador to the United States, visited the University to deliver a speech entitled, "Bosnia: Ten years after the Dayton agreement," which related to the recovery of his country from the 1992-1995 war. "We were fortunate to be able to land the ambassador within two weeks [before his visit]," College graduate student and Jefferson Literary and Debating Society Vice President Benjamin Mitchell said.
