Students met members of student organizations, enjoyed performances and braved a mechanical bull and rock wall at SpiderFest last Thursday on the University Forum.
Advocates of Pro-life and Pro-choice occupied the University of Richmond Forum throughout the day Monday, but there was no dialogue between the two groups.
Images of unborn and aborted fetuses were displayed prominently in the middle of the Forum on Monday. The act was set up by Spiders for Life, University of Richmond's Pro-life group. Senior Maggie Egger, president of Spiders for Life, invited community members who shared her beliefs against abortion to help set up and stand with the display. Students supporting Pro-choice beliefs protested the display of the graphic images by standing holding signs to tell students walking by to look down or away while walking past the images.

The University of Richmond men's basketball team is headed back to the NCAA Tournament, but the recently crowned Atlantic-10 champions earned a surprisingly low 12th seed and will play Vanderbilt University during the first round in Denver on Thursday.
Last season the men's basketball team adopted Nathan Mwenda, 14, and the team's time with him has developed from a responsibility to a relationship, head coach Chris Mooney said.

DURHAM, N.H. — The University of Richmond football team has thrived during the past three seasons by forcing its opponents into turnovers. But this afternoon against the University of New Hampshire, the turnover bug bit back.
I normally don't make bets.
Katie Schools warms up and cools down with the University of Richmond women's lacrosse team, has a T-shirt with her own number on it and cheers on the team from the sidelines. She even has her own locker.
As a former editorialist for this very student paper, I know a thing or two about hitting the "Send" button too quickly, about not really thinking things over sufficiently before letting them get to print, about wanting a Mulligan after it's a little too late for one. So I am willing to give my fellow alumnus David Anderton the benefit of the doubt, to believe he was not fueled by malice when he referred to the current Richmond students as "a self-absorbed and over-indulged group of apathetic human beings" in a letter to the editor earlier this week. However, the topic of Spider spirit is one that is inevitably raised almost annually, yet nothing constructive seems to come from it. So, for what it's worth, I'd like to share a few thoughts on the issue.
New stadium? Check. New high-profile transfer quarterback? Check. New greater sense of school pride surrounding the football team? If last Saturday's game against the University of Delaware is any indication, that box most assuredly will remain blank. While starting off fairly full, the student section provided only a handful of dedicated fans standing and cheering on their Spiders by game's end. A mass of people even left at halftime, when the game was still close with Richmond trailing by a mere 13-6 deficit.
While I agree with Mr. Anderton that it was disheartening to see so many students leave this past weekend's football game early, I find his personal attacks to be even more disheartening.
I thought I was going to get over this, but the more I think about it, the madder I get.
In the Colonial Athletic Association opener for both teams, the University of Delaware Blue Hens used their overwhelming air attack, led by quarterback Pat Devlin's 240 passing yards to defeat the University of Richmond Spiders, 34-13, at Robins Stadium Saturday evening.
Waking up in the middle of the night, flicking on the light and finding a centipede crawling along the dorm room wall is not something most University of Richmond students expect.
The University of Richmond defeated Elon 27-21 in overtime on Saturday in front of a sold out crowd in the inaugural game at Robins Stadium.
