If men are from Mars and women are from Venus, this week the two planets collide for Alpha Chi Omega and Phi Psi's "Battle of the Sexes." The weeklong "battle" consists of multiple events which will determine which of the two sexes are the strongest, smartest and most philanthropic.
It is only mid-October and not only does graduation loom on the distant horizon, but it also brings with it the inevitable job hunt.
They sit waiting, longing to be given a home on a cozy front porch or inside a dorm room. Each individual future is unique; some will have their round bodies shaped to their owner's liking while others will remain au naturale.
A little bit of Soho right here in Charlottesville. BANG!! In an effort to outdo every other eatery in town, BANG!! succeeds with a flair for the exotic and a taste for anything Asian. Situated in the vicinity of the Downtown Mall, Bang!! rests to the east of Main Street, near Southstreet Brewery.
Last week, I decided that I wanted to leave a sound byte. I was psyched, because it would be in the paper a day after my best friend's birthday, and although this isn't perfect, I looked at it as stretching out the fun.
All great men have great dreams. All hygienically-challenged, "Old School" quoting, college boys do not.
Engaging in unprotected sex and using unclean needles are not the only reasons to get tested for HIV.
Hiking in the Italian Alps overlooking Lake Como. Playing guitar with Spanish musicians in a local bar.
Listening to talented a cappella groups may provide a better incentive to climb to the second floor of the bookstore than searching for a used history textbook.
Two scoops of frozen strawberries, one cup liquid yogurt and a handful of ice. Blend for 20 seconds and serve. To economics majors, this recipe is genius for financial success -- more than 3,000 smoothies are sold on Grounds each week -- but to most students at the University, eager to use those bountiful plus dollars or charge to that daddy-funded Cavalier Advantage account, these are the makings of a tasty afternoon treat. "When you see the smoothie coming up the straw, it brightens your day," first-year Engineering student Josh Stephens said. A vast majority of these hastily-blended, habit-forming cups originate behind the counter of the umlaut-riddled Freshens Smoothie stand in the Pav.
This week I wanted to start by paying tribute to Bill Simmons, a.k.a. The Sports Guy on ESPN.com Page Two.
When I first began writing for the The Cavalier Daily as "the relationship girl," I started to look around at the relationships on Grounds as inspiration for topics, since I myself am single.
"Cuba Si, Yankee No!" the old man throttled, then took a swig from his flask of firewater. From the backseat of a hired Renault pickup on an empty backstreet of old Havana, we three Americans stared out into the pale blue din of morning and realized we were invisible
I started the Great American Novel once. Really. It was the summer after my first year, that tumultuous series of epiphanies, when the world somehow conspires to confront you with everything you thought was wrong -- and then shows you everything that is right.
The Newcomb Hall Theater will be filled with a wide array of concerned citizens tonight. From 7 p.m.
The German phrase is gemeinsamer Raum. In English it means "communal space." It looks like any other suite in Gooch-Dillard, but it's half of a house.
A matter of grave importance faces our community. It is the alarming decline of streaking as the pastime of American college students.
As the weather turns cold and students dig out their jackets and scarves, another aspect of the season rears its ugly head -- winter colds and flu. "[Last] month was the highest number of patients we've seen in eight years during September," saidJoe Chance, the general director of medicine at the Elson Student Health Center. Chance said many of these student visits were due to respiratory infections such as the common cold. Currently suffering from the common cold himself, Chance offered some information to help keep students healthy. He explained that the common cold spreads more quickly during the winter for a variety of reasons, the primary one being that students spend more time indoors, increasing close contact with each other. He also said there is a theory that the cold and flu viruses operate more efficiently in the cold. Chance suggests that students wash their hands frequently as their number one defense against germs, as cold and flu viruses are generally spread through touching rather than sneezing or coughing. Aside from washing hands, students may receive flu shots Thursday, Nov.
A college student might not be too surprised to overhear talk of masturbation -- as part of a crude joke in a crowded bar or a conversation in the men's locker room.
