The nominee for education

By Katie Cristol | February 5, 2004

The primaries of the past two weeks have brought to national attention what thousands of Kerry supporters have known for months: John Kerry is not only the best this candidate field has to offer, but the best this country has to offer. His experienceserving America in Vietnam and in the United States Senate as well as his strength of character and pragmatic policy ideas makes Kerry the clear choice for Virginia voters next Tuesday. John Kerry is good for this country and great for University students.His well-developed and practical plan deserves attention from any voting college student -- offering scholarships for four years of college education in exchange for two of public service and a college tax credit to cover the cost of tuition each year at a public university, among other initiatives.

All-American display for Jackson

By Kazz Alexander Pinkard | February 5, 2004

CONTROL. That's what she wanted all along, and guess what? That's exactly what she got. From the second this past weekend's Super Bowl halftime show began, and the infamous Janet Jackson rose from the underbelly of the mid-field stage, she commanded America's attention in a trademark black leather ensemble -- wiping away the memory of shooting star fireworks, flag-waving patriotism, the sheer boredom that New England and Carolina left on the field in the first half and even the bellowing Beyonce -- who just last week was America's prima Donna.

A final look at Lieberman

By Ilan Kaufer | February 5, 2004

EVEN THOUGH he has withdrawn from the race, his organization here at U.Va. wanted to give the readers an opportunity to discover what he stood for, and how he differed from the other candidates. Joe Lieberman may come from Connecticut, but he is in many ways the Southern Democrat the American electorate needs and would vote for.

PETA extremists stifle debate

By Eric Wang | February 4, 2004

GEN. WESLEY Clark was making headway as an anti-war moderate until his friend Michael Moore started calling President Bush a "deserter." Last year, the country could have had a principled debate on the war, until MoveOn.org entered the fray with its fringe views.

Skirting Roe v. Wade

By Elliot Haspel | February 3, 2004

IMAGINE, if you will, that all of a sudden, tabling on the Lawn was illegal. Why? Well, it certainly has nothing to do with anyone disliking the practice; it is simply a new safety measure -- the sidewalks need to be as unobstructed as those in front of a hospital. You might protest these regulations as utterly ludicrous, saying tabling helps a lot of student groups and the sidewalks are already quite safe.
