Once out of the cramped living quarters of first-year dorms, many University students feel excited, enthusiastic and independent.
This is my 21st column for the Cavalier Daily. Such a monumental achievement of journalistic grandiosity and excellence could not have been possible without the support of my adoringly devoted fan base. That is, no one would take my place if I got fired. To thank my readers for their loyalty, I will answer some of the questions that have come up in the mountainous piles of fan mail and give an inside look into the biweekly construction of "The Yankee." In preparation, Cavalier Daily editors pored over the stacks of perfume-laced letters, rifled through boxes of rose petals and sorted through the e-mail correspondence that floods our servers every day. Sally Saunders from Sioux City writes, "Dear A-J, your columns are not funny at all.
She calls you when she's out at bars and doesn't see you around. You are always welcome at her apartment when you have nothing to do.

Dance Marathon co-Chair Ann-Henley Saunders said that planning for this year's event, which garnered more than a quarter million dollars, began when "we walked out of Mem Gym last year." Saunders said Dance Marathon "reinforces the meaning of collaboration and teamwork," speaking not only of the 17 members on the executive board, but of the many students and student groups that participated in the event.

Doesn't Charlottesville in February sound like the perfect place for summer vacation? For José Luis Incio, a fourth-year Law student at Pontificia Universidad Católica del Peru, it's just that -- except this vacation is of more significance than most, because Incio is at the University to discuss his experiences with terrorism in Peru. The University is presenting a series of events about the 20 years of violence and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, or Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación.
