Foreign pains

Before turning the page, I require you to read this article. Such a mandate is not too pleasant, is it?


Opinion

Balancing Act

Balancing act While Delegate Dave Albo understandably shows concern for his constituents' educations and opportunities to attend the University of Virginia, he fails to consider the multifaceted admissions process and overall good of the University.


Opinion

No right to know

Having read the news article concerning the case summaries, I am concerned of how this could negatively impact students in the Honor System.


Opinion

An honest monopoly

This year will mark the 170th year since the murder of a University of Virginia professor that would ultimately give rise to the inception of an Honor System, which, in its present manifestation, relies upon students "simply behaving with the integrity that has come to be expected of a Virginia student" as the self-affirming justification for encouraging the administration of unproctored exams that facilitate the advancement of the dishonest at the expense of the honest. To place the burden of the administration of fair exams on the students taking such exams is an infringement upon their pursuit of an education unmolested by distracting parallel duties as classroom monitors and honor offense reporters. When students graduate, they will compete in a world that will not assume that they are uniquely honorable on account of having "worn the honors of Honor." A temporary suspension of such realities may be of benefit to the merchandising efforts of University Guides in promoting a place unbounded by the realities of human nature to the parents of prospective students, but it is a disservice to such students during their tenure at the university. Of the four in-class examinations I took in the second semester of my first year at the University of Virginia, I witnessed 'dishonorable' activity in half.

Get out the vote

Yesterday, the polls opened for University-wide student elections, and Managing Board is pleased to announce its final endorsements for Student Council.


Opinion

One and done

Vote or die! As much coverage as elections have received during the past few days, expect this Student Council election to have a lower voter turnout compared to the last.


Opinion

In summary

You may think you know what an honor offense is: It's a non-trivial act of lying, cheating or stealing, committed with dishonest intent.


Opinion

Promoting the polls

Every fall, hundreds of University students are engaged in political campaigns that culminate on the first Tuesday of November, Election Day.

Solomon, Michel for honor

The Cavalier Daily's Managing Board is pleased to endorse several candidates running for the Honor Committee from both the College and the Commerce School.

Where is the love?

The day after Valentine's Day, The Cavalier Daily ran a column by Ginny Robinson called "Love is Propaganda." Many people have commented on the merits of Robinson's argument.


Opinion

Taking the grade

I would love a 4.0. Who wouldn't. After all, graduating from college with a perfect grade-point average places you on the fast track for success; a track filled with large salaries, high-powered jobs, dream vacations, et cetera.


Opinion

Power grab

I'm tired of being assuaged and dissuaded into believing that things are okay and that they will get better.


Opinion

Going to town

Polls for the upcoming University-wide student elections open next week, and the position of Student Council vice president for administration is among the more prominent of the contested elections.
