UR Police Department hosts carnival to benefit Va. Special Olympics

As an alumnus of Richmond College and a current trustee of this great university, I offer my own voice to a recent dialogue on campus sparked by the "Letter from the Closet" from Anonymous and by the online response from Amicus last week. It has been quite a long time since I've had the pleasure to forward a letter to the editor of The Collegian, and I celebrate this occasion to say directly to the entire university community that I am openly, proudly, happily gay.
The renovation of the Roger Millhiser Memorial Gymnasium will continue to wait until enough money is raised to complete its construction.
The national champion Richmond Spiders football team will take to the field next season with five alumni coaches following the recent appointments of Vic Shealy as defensive coordinator and Stacy Tutt as assistant coach.
On any given night, the Robins Center appears to be only half-full, a fact not lost to the visiting coaches.

The first hints of springtime after a long cold winter are always the most glorious of days. Like this past Sunday, Super Bowl Sunday nonetheless, with the sun poking out from the clouds and the temperature pushing seventy degrees.
Richmond students don't care about Richmond sports. It's a statement I hear at least weekly, if not more frequently, and I'm sick of it. The reason, however, may surprise you. I am sick of it because, for the large majority of the student body, it's true. Stop complaining about it.

The national championship wasn't the only first for the 2008 University of Richmond football team.

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the University of Richmond students, faculty, staff and alumni for the generosity you showed my 3-year-old son, Cole Hafer, who is facing a life-saving liver transplant. Last year's Trick-or-Treat Street donated $10,000 to a fund that has been established through the Children's Organ Transplant Association. However, the kindness, dedication and hard work of those involved with the event was worth more than any amount of money. We are truly touched by the love and concern showed by so many people. Cole sleeps with the autographed balls he was given by the football team and basketball team and often says, "I want to go to the Spider school when I get big!"
You know you've done something right when someone names a day after you.

2008 is nearing its end, and we're looking back on the year that was at the University of Richmond. From President Edward Ayers' momentous inauguration and the Spider football team's national championship victory, to controversy over a sexually explicit fraternity e-mail and the discovery of a black doll hanging from a rope in a university theater, 2008 at the University of Richmond offered celebratory moments, and sad, tragic and questionable ones.
