My first day of teaching in 2007, Jerome showed up 15 minutes late and disrupted my entire class, ensuring that everyone knew that he had finally arrived. Other teachers had warned me about his disruptive behavior. They said, "Put him in the back and ignore him, or he'll ruin your class." But Jerome wasn't acting out just to give his teachers a hard time. Jerome, as a 10th grader, was reading at a fifth-grade level and lacked the foundational content knowledge necessary to be successful in my U.S. government class. In fact, he was the lowest scoring student in the class on my preliminary exam.

Every week students eagerly pick up The Collegian to read the "UR Busted" section, and every week someone's iPod or laptop has gone missing. Now, imagine setting down your purse or book-bag in D-hall and coming back to discover it's no longer there. Of course, you can cancel your credit card and it's a pain that you no longer have your cell phone, but can you imagine if your loaded Glock went missing too? Whoops.

A lot of things have been said about Southern politics, and very few of them are nice. Last week the Virginia General Assembly flooded into Richmond, marking the beginning of the 2012 session. The bitterness and bickering began on the first day.

While spending six months in a foreign country without the radio blasting out the latest pop hits and Bruno Mars-driven rap songs, I had to start listening to the local music to get some fresh songs to ride the tube with. Because I was in England, I already knew a fair amount of bands such as Coldplay and Mumford and Sons from their breakout hits in America. It was the tips from my flatmates that allowed me to bring back my iPod filled with new songs and artists who I had never heard of, and who are frankly better than most of the stuff that goes mainstream here. I listen to every type of music, but I am going to go ahead and throw out a few artists and songs that you may never have heard of, in hopes of getting some new fans for the bands.

"It has to be one or the other: either admit that the present social arrangement is just and then defend your own rights, or admit that you enjoy certain unjust advantages, as I do, and enjoy them with pleasure," Oblonsky says to his half-brother Levin in Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina."

Now that baseball season is over, the best part of the year for every fan whose team didn't win the World Series has begun. The offseason is officially upon us. How is this the best part of the year? Well for every team besides the St. Louis Cardinals, it means hope. Even if your team has been in dire straights in past years, there is still that glimmer of hope that shines like the sun rising over the ocean in the back of every fan's mind.

On Oct. 20, the Muslim Law Students Association hosted Azizah Al-Hibri, a Richmond law professor, and Randolph Marshall Bell, ambassador and president of the First Freedom Center, in a town hall event with the express purpose to clear misinformation about Shar'iah and its practice in the U.S.

This is indeed a disappointing piece of journalism in which Ms. Kuta (Response to: Five Shariah insights for students at UR-Nov. 5) is spreading hate and misinformation about Islam because of her apparent bias toward this religion.

How annoying is it when someone tells you that you look tired? Instead of reading that comment as an insult, use it as a reminder of the harmful effects produced by lack of sleep.

Students, faculty and staff of the university, we, the membership of N.E.L., believe that leaders and stewards of what is good deserve to be recognized. We hope that these recognitions not only highlight the good of the present, but inspire good for the future. In calling attention to particular people and organizations, it is our belief that others will find motivation to work toward a similar good.

Herman Cain is in a tough spot. Carried this far largely on rhetoric and a touted background in the private sector, the Cain campaign machine seems to be running low on fuel.

Anna Kuta's "Response to: Five Shariah insights for students at UR,"posted Nov. 5, 2011, is a misleading and inflammatory description of Islamic law. As an Ahmadi Muslim, I take strong exception to the author's baseless claims that Islam requires us to impose its belief system using violent tactics against non-Muslims. To contextualize the actual verses she quoted, it should be known that Muslims were a persecuted minority in Arabia during Prophet Muhammad's era and faced a constant threat of annihilation.

For those of you who like a good dive restaurant every now and then, Mom's Siam might be your kind of place. The waiters have tattoos, and the interior is cluttered with curio that looks like it's been picked up on long steamer-bound trips to Thailand.

Anna Kuta's Shariah Law Op Ed on The Collegian website illustrates the exuberance of her deliberate ignorance and incoherent argumentation. Few, if any, of her assertions are found in legitimate peer-reviewed journals. As I do not have space to fully address Kuta's dozen or more baseless allegations, this piece repudiates just two of her most deceptive assertions to illustrate her fundamentally flawed platform.

In light of the recent dialogue in the online edition of The Collegian, the Multi-faith Student Council would like to take the opportunity to introduce ourselves to the campus community. We are a recently formed group of students who strive to engage in respectful and meaningful conversations with the purpose of building relationships and learning from each other about our faiths.
