The Old Meets the New

You've never seen the Lawn like this before. Sitting on the balcony of Pavilion VII, the newly renovated home of the Colonnade Club, you can understand why professors for nearly two centuries have come here to soak in the Academical Village. Last month Pavilion VII reopened its renovated doors following a three-year, $4 million architectural restoration.

Are they gettin' their freak on, or are they just freaks?

It's a scene from "Animal House": Otis Day and The Nights are on stage at a local club. Big Guy: " Do you mind if we dance with your dates?" Boon: "Why, no, not at all, go right ahead."

University students saddle up and ride west, seeking the laid-back atmosphere of dude ranches and fishing holes

Catherine Mason wore cowboy boots for the first time this summer. The second-year College student had only known the wilds of Richmond before deciding to fly out to Wyoming and work on a ranch. "I never really considered myself a 'Western' person, but I loved "Hey Dude" as a child, and I thought it was a good summer for that kind of experience," Mason said. While only about 260 University undergraduates are native West Coasters, ranging from Arizona to the Dakotas, others who have been eastbound their whole lives want to know what it could be like to work in a fly-fishing store or on a barren ranch. "The people in Montana made so much fun of me at first," said third-year College student Jaime Cattano, who worked on a ranch this summer.
