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.
The following is a letter written by a friend of mine.
Rhatican's argument is grounded on the assumption that all humans have a right to life.
Brendan Rhatican recently wrote an interesting opinion piece on the rights of an unborn child to life. Unfortunately, his piece is so ridden with ambiguity, assumptions and hypotheticals that it would be nearly impossible to fully respond to each point in a lifetime with an absolute truth.
This letter is addressed primarily to my friends in the graduating class of 2012, many of whom I have known since they were freshmen; however, I suspect the current juniors, sophomores and freshmen might be able to take something away from it as well.
1. If the embryo is living and human, then it should not be aborted.
'Twas the day after Pig Roast, and all through our school, not a Spider was stirring, as a general rule.
I would like to now inform you that your basic rights as U.S. citizens are being stripped away from you as I write this letter.
