Often with a struggling economy, decisions must be made to reduce expenditures in the most practical manner possible, with cuts to non-vital programs coming first.
Make the Dean Pay. College Dean Meredith Woo, in a challenge to the fourth-year College class, pledged she would donate $1 to the College's Giving Campaign for each student who contributes $20.10 or more.
"Joe Smith is checking out the new bar in town!!! :)" This is just one of the many status updates that you can find on Facebook or Twitter.
The toughest part of responding to Hung Vu's column ("Lighting Up," March 16) is knowing where to begin.
Abby Coster wrote her column ("Game on," March 17) extolling the virtues of drinking games. She neglects, however, the damage done to the University's reputation by her work and those activities she publicly advocated. In a highly competitive job environment during a recession, our degrees upon graduation are compared with those from some of the best and brightest students in the world.
The Cavalier Daily published a lead editorial March 4 endorsing Alex Solomon and Will Bane for the positions of Honor Committee chair and University Judiciary Committee chair, respectively.
We are going to war - a war on terror, a war against nature, a war on sickness, poverty and all of human suffering.
It is clear that many University students break the honor code. You could probably find this out by conducting a University-wide survey or using some equation, but all you really need to do is to take a look around when you are taking your next exam in a huge lecture hall.
Though he did not get a Spring Break, state Attorney General and University alumnus Ken Cuccinelli certainly caught some heat last week for a letter he issued advising Virginia public colleges and universities to strip references to sexual orientation from their nondiscrimination polices.

I am writing to commend Coach Tony Bennett for his remarks about academic performance expectations for student athletes participating in the University's basketball program.
It's been more than a month, so maybe it's safe to talk about it now. On Feb. 9, The Cavalier Daily published "June Bug," a story Life columnist Julia Sharpe wrote about her trip to South Africa.
I found the lead editorial from March 4 ("Leading the Pack") to be a bit misleading in nature. The editorial wishes to endorse a specific candidate for the office of Chair of the Judiciary and Honor Committees, but the editors failed to speak with all representatives who have been elected (only speaking to those from some of the more contested representative races). It is also important to note that elections for the Curry School were not yet complete, and The Cavalier Daily's attempt to support a specific candidate is extremely premature from a time perspective.
Perhaps the most cherished hiatus from classes by students across the nation, Spring Break has come at last.
