I know that this is not virgin territory, but honestly, the housing situation here is preposterous.
At the end of 2001, an estimated 40 million people worldwide -- 2.7 million of them children younger than 15 years -- were living with HIV/AIDS.
With noon sun glowing on her freckled face, Claudia Ford sipped on a freshly made strawberry smoothie and glanced at three girls wearing pastel-pink tutus last Monday. "Oh, my daughter loves to wear those!" said Ford, a visiting environmental sciences scholar at the University, with an excitement normally reserved for kids in candy stores. She was talking about Vyanna, her three-year-old adopted daughter and the inspiration for her book, "Why Do I Scream at God for the Rape of Babies?", which she will be signing at Quest Bookshop today. Ford is also a lecturer at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa and works in international development. Ford met her future daughter at a hospital in Johannesburg on Dec.
Style... I'm not sure any one event or any one entity could epitomize the word "style" and what it means more appropriately than The Fashion Design Club's Fall Fashion Show, "Collective Chic." It was a cold, rainy night.

I recently started making lists of great ideas. That is to say, I carry around my artsy-fartsy black notebook and write in it instead of paying attention in class. Some examples: Leaves falling off of trees in autumn is a great idea.

"Whiteness" is an elusive concept. In an attempt to address this often times confusing and debatable social construction, a group of artists have decided to present their own perceptions and ideas of whiteness through paintings, sculpture, photography and collage. The University's Bayly Art Museum currently is home to an exhibit titled "Whiteness: A Wayward Construction." According to the Bayly Art Museum Web site, the exhibit was initially organized by California's Laguna Beach Art Museum, and the University will be the only Eastern venue for the celebrated collection. The exhibition features a variety of artists' interpretation of whiteness, and as a whole, addresses not only the racial and social construction of whiteness, but also how that construction relates to history, class, region and gender. Several observers in the museum said that the whiteness exhibit was beyond anything they could have imagined and unlike anything they had ever seen. The exhibit "is not something you would see everyday in an ordinary art museum," said Charlottesville High School student Kaleigh Gilpin, whose Advanced Placement English class was touring the museum Wednesday. One room of the exhibition housed a large and incredibly detailed piece called "Mulatto Nation," by Lezley Saar.
Since the football team's 16-0 win over Maryland last weekend, the University has been preparing itself for the team's upcoming game against Miami on Saturday -- the last home game of the season. Although a general feeling of excitement dominates Grounds, students said they are also concerned about the last home football game because of the tradition of "the fourth-year fifth," during which fourth-year students attempt to consume a fifth of alcohol or approximately 17 shots. "I personally am so excited for the game this Saturday," second-year College student Yasemin Erseven said.

Watch out, MTV and E! -- VH1 has punk'd us all. Until recently, MTV was generally perceived as music television geared toward a youthful audience, while VH1 served as our parent's source of soft-rock video reruns.
For many graduate students, completing a thesis project is an act of passion. It is an endeavor that entails daunting amounts of work, but is ultimately a rewarding academic rite of passage.
