[The following letter was written in response to an email from Jim Miller, the director of athletics, announcing that track and field would be officially cut from Richmond's sports roster.
Ah, Ring Dance. Currently one of the most hotly debated issues on the Collegian's website and surprisingly, I seem to be the centerpiece of some of the comments. One anonymous contributor writes:
For all my past rhapsodizing about how great it is to be young and in college, the truth is, our lives aren't exempt from getting stressful. This is a fact, and it's a fact that we have to deal with regularly.
Q: I've been seeing this guy for a few months, and I want to get more serious. We got together at the end of last year and didn't talk much over the summer, but we're back on now. The problem is that he always wants me to come to his fraternity on the weekend (pretty much refuses to separate from them, in fact), and makes excuses when I want to hang out during the day, sober. He devotes his attention to me entirely when I'm in his element, but refuses to go anywhere I want, ever. Should I leave him, or do you think things can change? Help!
I did something this semester that I thought I would never do. I became dependent on caffeine.
Recently, a friend , whom I have known for years and always considered a kind and thoughtful person, posted a picture on Facebook.
Q: I read your opinion piece in the last Collegian, and I have seen you around campus. I have come to realize that not only are you incredibly attractive and tall, but you are also incredibly smart and clever. Because of these recent discoveries, I have started to form a crush on you.
Two weeks ago, I started noticing stacks of stickers sitting next to the registers in the bookstore and at Passport Cafe. You may already have one.
Fall semester is upon us, which brings two constants on campus: overwhelming humidity and a massive influx of wide-eyed, first-year students.
I must admit, when I came to University of Richmond in 2009, I was a little confused about what exactly it meant to have a coordinate college system.
Q: Between a bad breakup and the long summer, I've been out of the dating scene for a while. What are some good ideas for a guy trying to get back on the dating scene, and for a fun date on a college student budget?
I am extremely disappointed with the university's decision to stop providing academic planners to students this year.
To students, faculty and subscribers: welcome to the start of what we hope is an exciting semester.
As the campus tour begins, my fellow prospective students and I settle into seats in a large lecture hall on campus.
Rhatican wrote a new article - titled "You know you're a hipster when..." It could be funny if he had any idea what a hipster was, or if there was a single hipster on this campus. Instead, it was a pointed attack against any sort of activism - well, any sort of move toward progress really - on this campus.
As an alumna of the University of Richmond, I am disappointed with the Commencement Committee's choice of Gov. Bob McDonnell as the commencement speaker for the class of 2012.
I walked down to the Forum on Monday to see all the hoopla about abortion. I was greeted by a forum covered in pro-choice chalk slogans and visuals of aborted fetuses. After four years at Richmond, I finally felt enlivened and not locked in the bubble.
As I write this column, I'm counting down the days until Summer Break. Probably by the start of finals week, I'll be able to give you a to-the-hour update on how much time stands between me and pure freedom. After all, that's what summer has always stood for in my mind. I enjoy seeing Richmond's change of seasons, campus life, and always having my friends nearby, but for me, summer's where it's at. Remember that feeling of pure bliss that came from being a kid, of knowing that you had three whole months without homework ahead of you, filled with utter possibility to play outside, to ride bikes, to stay up late and to have adventures?

1. You are more aware of problems in Africa than anyone else. Now, I think we all ought to feel compassion for the issues plaguing the continent. But, memorizing the infancy mortality rates due to the concentration of a bacteria in a stream in the southwest corner of Cote d'Ivoire does not make you more compassionate than the next guy, because unfortunately there is no practical connection between you making some other college kid aware and an African baby surviving.
