Snow, sledding and ... sushi! On Monday, amidst the excitement of the University's closure, those who stopped by Pavilion XI also received a pleasant surprise: The Pav now provides University students with a brand-new unique food choice with the opening of the AFC Corp.
If this University is so good, why is it that 90 percent of the people here have no idea how to walk?
Looking for a lewdly-shaped cake pan, some boob straws or that long sought-after dildo? Take a drive down Route 29 and turn into Ultimate Bliss, Charlottesville's only adult store, next to the KFC. The entrance is crammed with kinky lingerie and other less scandalous items, such as lubricants and condoms, creating what manager Paul Weber calls "a buffer zone," should any unsuspecting families wander in. The well-lit rooms are monitored by Weber himself or by video surveillance.
For two distinct groups on Grounds, this is a weekend of culmination. It is a time for them to showcase months of preparation through light-hearted competition with neighboring schools.
"Are you going to be able to handle a $250,000, 35-feet-long, eight-feet-wide, 13-ton-vehicle? Can you deal with people who are going to yell at you?" Affirmative answers to questions such as these are merely the beginning of what is an intense preparation to become a University Transit Service driver such as second-year College student David Rogge. Students rarely question the training and safety precautions of UTS drivers as they ride buses to class each day.
Last Saturday was just like any other Saturday afternoon in Charlottesville. The white stuff peppered down on University Avenue and owners of the bestial Land Cruiser preened as their heads grew ten sizes while their 4-wheel drive careened through the snow with cocky declarations of "How do you like this SUV now!" And I (to be perfectly candid) was lying on the couch, my mouth watering at "The Naked Chef" -- Food TV's spastic Brit who is constantly firing things up for his oh-so-close knit circle of "rugby" pals. You see, I was a tad bit hungry with this whole "blizzard" thing going on, but times were tough.
The six of us arrived in St. Petersburg, Russia prepared for six weeks in a new city, immersed in a completely different culture.
A toned-down "Sex and the City" meets the University tonight at the premiere of this year's new programming for HooTV. The many people who came together to produce one of the newest HooTV shows attempt to bring viewers into the lives of four fictional University students through a new soap series, "Wahoo Sisterhood." The account of the experiences of Riley, Winter, Savannah and Sydney, the main characters of "Sisterhood," is a first for HooTV.
I'm not just talking about the snow, which I am sure you all can expect is just about killing me right now.
The biggest news in small-town Virginia could be the installation of its first stoplight or the grand opening of a new Target.
Now is the winter of our discontent. With another foot of snow on the ground and more on the way, it's not surprising that many of us feel our good moods have been frozen solid since the holidays. While Charlottesville's winter wonderland holds a certain fascination for me as a native Floridian, I can see how the novelty might have worn off long ago for everyone else. Despite the fact that I haven't been warm in two months, I'm more concerned with the other effects that winter brings on its back. I'm talking about Seasonal Affective Disorder, which psychologists aptly refer to as S.A.D.
ENAM 314: African-American Literature Survey II Q: If you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be? A: Well I guess if I don't take my husband I'd be in trouble. Q: What is your ideal Valentine's Day date? A: Well it's not really romantic.
With a fresh frosting of snow carpeting the University, Grounds is a veritable winter wonderland.
Tucked away in a back corridor of the Curry School in Ruffner Hall, the Student Virginia Education Association bulletin might easily be overlooked.
A glamorous Valentine's Day evening full of dancing, drinks, cocktails and crudites is within your reach this Feb.
Today is Valentine's Day, and if you're just realizing that now, you're probably already in hot water with your significant other and need to make it up to him or her.
It's that time of year again. Couples prepare to celebrate relationships. Singles complain. Everything mysteriously turns pink and red -- from drugstores to television ads to the halls of elementary schools across the country.
Okay. I'm not an alcoholic or anything, I just wanted to buy my friend a nice bottle of something for Valentine's Day.
Sorority lip balms and kleenexes decorate the countertop. Fraternity shot glasses and visors line the walls.Spools of ribbons and plush teddy bears fill the shelves.
Q: "How do you like your eggs?" A: "Germany." Q: "Where do you live?" A: "I like it." After this kind of crazy, nonsense jibber jabber associated with unavoidable silly icebreakers, seven first-year students accompanied by three upper-class facilitators began to slowly work their way deeper into conversation while sitting in a luxury suite at Scott Stadium on a chilly Tuesday evening. Q: "Why did you choose to come to U.Va.?" A: "I love it here and wanted to follow in my brother's footsteps." Q: "What is your favorite thing about first semester?" A: "Snowball fights on the Lawn!" These students comprised one small group section of first year seminar, a unique program offered second semester to randomly-chosen first year students.
