By Cliff Roberts Cavalier Daily Associate Editor For those students who have ever been stuck in Clemons at four in the morning cramming for that next final exam, the thought of having even just one more day to study probably sounds more than appealing.

In the wake of two attacks on male students in separate incidents late Friday night, many University students are questioning their own safety on and around Grounds. "It does surprise me that two guys would be mugged because normally I feel safe on Grounds," third-year College student Ali Dastvar said. Third-year Commerce student Reed Smollar said he feels that being male makes him less likely to be a victim of a mugging. "As a guy, I figure I can at least put up a little fight, and that will hopefully get people's attention," Smollar said.
As pen and paper dependence fades and the student body becomes increasingly technophiliac, more students use computers to not only to do work outside of class, but to take notes inside of class as well. Some students find typing notes much faster and easier than writing. Typing "is much easier than taking notes by hand and so much more efficient in my mind," fourth-year College student Andrew McDowell said. McDowell did stress, however, that he realizes some classes are more appropriate for typing out notes than others. "It's easier for history and government classes where things don't need to be very organized, but for classes like econ where you have to draw graphs, I still write out my notes," McDowell said. Other students like third-year Commerce student Divya Sahay prefer using a computer to organize their notes at home, but find it inconvenient to take a computer to class.

University athletes like senior basketball guard Todd Billet, swimmer Ed Moses and quarterback Matt Schaub, whose achievements and reputations make them a hot commodity on the dating market, may seem out of reach for most University students. With Kappa Delta Sorority's Athlete Date Auction, however, these three and many other athletes will be up for bid tonight at O'Neil's from 8 to 10 p.m. Not only will money buy bidders a date with select athletes, it also will benefit Prevent Child Abuse America, a charity dedicated to eliminating child abuse in American households. "Preventing child abuse is really important to me, and the more we help prevent the problem now, the less likely children will grow up to be abusive as adults," said first-year College student Kristen Coffield, a member of Kappa Delta. "It's most important that we raise money for such a great cause, but it should be really fun too," she said. Of the money raised, 80 percent will benefit child abuse prevention centers in Charlottesville, while the rest of the money will be given to the national charity, said third-year College student Mary Hamner, one of the sorority's program organizers. "It started off as a small event a few years ago, but it has really picked up steam," Hamner said.
