Lights, camera, script?

By Amber Davis | January 26, 2004

Let's play a little game called improv... First,think of the name of a place where the scene will occur, like a supermarket or a gas station... Next, name an occupation or profession, like a lawyer or mountain climber... Finally, create a scene that involves multiple actors and actresses with only the above information and... Go. Think you could do it? If yes, then imagine that with this little information to go on, you are on stage, standing in front of a crowd of people, ready to act out this scene.

Eating right: When did it go so wrong?

By Lytle Wurtzel | January 26, 2004

What's for dinner? It used to be such a simple question, whether posed in a crowded supermarket aisle or by a hungry child coming home after a long game of basketball with the neighborhood kids. Now with mad cow disease, the no-carb revolution, mercury-laden fish and deadly pesticides on fruits and vegetables ­­-- the pickings are slim. But Americans still aren't. Despite the growing popularity of no-carb or low-carb diets, Americans still can't seem to keep off the pounds.

Chillin'

By Chad Anderson | January 26, 2004

As a snowstorm sweeps into Charlottesville and winter announces that it is not going anywhere, University students bundle up to brave the cold. Last night, www.weather.com predicted that the Charlottesville and Alberlmarle County area would receive four to eight inches of snow and wintry mix between yesterday and today. Some students said they are not pleased with the incoming precipitation. Third-year College student Brian Hartman said he thought he had moved away from harsh winter weather when he came to the University. "I really hate the snow," Hartman said.

Sound Bytes

By Cavalier Daily Staff | January 23, 2004

I submit to the University that it is disgusting that it is taking well over a year to build a freaking sidewalk behind the Lambeth Field apartments when they can put up structural steel for a basketball arena in a matter of months.

Inner Peace: inconceivable at age 21?

By Alexandra Valint | January 21, 2004

Wracked by the emotional turmoil of my 21-year-old angst and prematurely high levels of anxiety and stress, last semester I finally resolved it was high time to obtain some inner peace. Time to balance the yin and yang, establish a harmonious existence between my mind, body and soul, focus on my seven chakras, strengthen my inner chi and, most importantly, emulate Madonna and reach nirvana. Ah, inner peace.
