The Charlottesville-Albemarle Rescue Squad station sits on the 250-east Bypass, right next to the skate park.
Sorority girls in tight dance outfits, fraternity pledges in their most embarrassing moment and numerous University organizations all raising money for a great cause.
They're everywhere you turn - guys clad in neatly pressed khakis and button-down collared shirts and girls parading around in fully coordinated outfits straight out of the latest Neiman-Marcus catalog. They frequently can be spotted at the trendiest cafes and bars in town, or at the most talked about frat party of the week.
At the beginning of this year, I realized I didn't have enough chaos in my life, so I decided to become a big brother through Madison House.
Nestled in a romantic Ruckersville shopping center, beyond the Bamboo House, between an antique store and a veterinary clinic, you will find Jody.
Winter seems to be playing a game of peek-a-boo this year. Now you see it and now you don't as temperatures fluctuate between 30 and 70 degrees any given week. Even in the midst of crazy weather patterns, the skiing and snowboarding physical education classes, PHYE 153 and PHYE 154, remain the most popular physical education classes the University offers. Perhaps with the inspiration of this year's Winter Olympics, or perhaps with the goal of just trying something new or getting away from Charlottesville and stress, students flock to nearby Wintergreen Ski Resort on any night of the week.

Barney. 98 Degrees. Harry Potter. With so many men in my life, it's no wonder Valentine's Day can be so difficult. As I stood in the card section of Harris Teeter last week, I was outraged.
Who Needs Boys Anyway? Valentine's Day can be fun for singles, too. Second-year College student Elizabeth Linsley and her dorm hall went out for dinner at the Biltmore Grill last year to celebrate what she called "Singles Awareness Day." "One girl bought us all roses, so we each had a rose," Linsley said.
By Katie Sullivan Cavalier Daily Associate Editor Between an open-mic session, three local poets, a jazz trio and a belly dancer, the fifth annual Charlottesville Erotic Poetry Festival could be the perfect place to take a Valentine's date. The festival will take place tonight from 8 to 10 at Tokyo Rose sushi bar located off Ivy Road.
By Lytle Wurtzel Cavalier Daily Associate Editor Tonight, a mother comes to share her story.
Bartenders hear everything," Melissa Neuner said. "We're not trying to listen, but when you are talking about how you got laid four times last night, we definitely hear you." Neuner, a fifth-year Education student, is a bartender at O'Neills, and her story is entirely typical.
By Laura Good Cavalier Daily Associate Editor War, terrorism, genocide and their effects on international relations-the issues plaguing the minds of many Americans will be addressed in a lecture series beginning tonight. Over the course of the next few months, lectures, sponsored by the International Residential College, will be held periodically on Tuesdays at 7 p.m.
Faithful fans hold up signs that read, "E for three," "Keith J Can Play" and "Big Smooth." They feel like they know the players on a first-name basis. They smile when they see them walking around Grounds, towering high above the other normal-sized students.
By Lauren Akselrod Cavalier Daily Associate Editor While the commencement of the 2002 Olympic games in Salt Lake City last Friday brought the world together, the traditional torch lighting sparked controversy. Among the words of the 100 pages of the Olympics' charter, it states that the host country is responsible for making each and every participant and visitor feel respected and comfortable. And no moment holds more significance in light of this charter than the symbolic commencement of the games. In past opening ceremonies, participants in neutral clothes have performed the torch lighting.
"Heaven holds a sense of wonder And I wanted to believe That I'd get caught up When the range in me subsides" - from "Silence," by Sarah McLachlan I remember us sitting in the red futon listening to Sarah McLachlan. I listened to the same song yesterday.
Laundry love By Alexandra Valint Cavalier Daily Associate Editor Romantic intrigue is back in the most unlikely of college settings: the laundry room. Second-year College student Jarrett Conaway has set his recently completed script of the short film "SudLuv" in the world of washers, dryers and dirty clothes. With the crew and shooting location in place, Conaway is only missing the cast. Auditions start today for the comedy that centers around three male characters and one dirty escapade.
Your heart is racing and your body is saturated in sweat. Breathing hard you feel like you cannot endure another second, but you know the reward that the end will bring: Pride. So you press on.
Copacabana promises to bring Carnevale to Charlottesville. The attempt is admirable, but perhaps falls just short of its mark. It is difficult to create an atmosphere that will transcend standard shopping center surroundings, but the interior of Copacabana looks oddly more like a Chinese restaurant than a Brazilian one.
