The Depression-induced panic that inspired Social Security is understandable, but it’s high time to replace Roosevelt-era ideologies with ones more suited to our political tradition of individualism and responsibility.
From Greek life, to wardrobe, to student activities, many things have been racialized to either black or white.
What’s alarming about the McDonnell team’s motion is that its central argument holds that the former governor’s behavior is nothing out of the ordinary. McDonnell’s actions are “routine political conduct,” the attorneys assert.
Individually suing Ross makes sense, but it is not necessary to blame Barry’s death on all 86 members of his fraternity.
Tuesday, The Cavalier Daily kicks off a five-week campaign to raise money for new distribution boxes. We hope to raise $8,000 to purchase 75 distribution boxes to place around Grounds and Charlottesville.
By rejoining these two Martin Luther King Jr.’s — the integrationist of 1963 and the radical democratic socialist of 1968 — we challenge ourselves to recognize the extent that our national hero’s famous “dream” remains unfulfilled.
New Yorkers did not elect Cuomo in order to supply him with a stepping stone toward higher office. They elected him to serve their interests, and one way he can do so is by enhancing early childhood education programs.
To assume that racial tension is a growing problem at the University gives too much weight to the erratic, petty racial slanders that have been made over the years.

The adage that nice guys finish last is hardly new. But at the University, we like to think that our peers who succeed do so honestly.
Rehabilitation isn’t an excuse to give inmates flat-screen TVs or make our penitentiaries luxury hotels. It’s a critical look at the ways in which prisons change those who enter them in profound and irreversible ways, generating anti-social behavior, minimizing dignity and doing little to correct the habits that locked the prisoners up in the first place.
