The highest court

On Friday, Sam Carrigan wrote a piece ("Accountability at the highest level") arguing that our legal system was not being applied to our leaders as it was to our citizens.

Never Forget

Dear Students of the University, It has been ten years since September 11, 2001. While most of those among us were in our early adolescence then, the events of that day shattered the bubble inside which our collective childhood had progressed peacefully.

Fresh ideas

One of the issues that has dominated Charlottesville local government in recent months has been the future of the downtown farmers' market.

Appreciation for service

The Global Student Council deeply regrets the recent replacement of Parke Muth, who formerly was the Office of Admission's director of international admission.

Facts over theory

I found Harrison Freund's column "Reversion to the Mean" pointlessly simplistic and unacceptable. He does such a good job discrediting his own illogical statements that it is a wonder why he wrote the article in the first place.

The most interesting mascot

I can't be the only person to have noticed: The man riding the horse at the beginning of Virginia football games looks just like the Dos Equis Man. Can we really be sure this is a coincidence?


Opinion

Only the quote-idian

THE LATEST clash between President Obama and Congressional Republicans is about the timing of the former's speech before a joint session of Congress, which initially was proposed to be the same night as a televised debate among GOP presidential candidates.
