The sun is out, the birds are singing, pollen is everywhere--whether we like it or not, summer's right around the corner. This week puts us right in the middle of one of the most ridiculous times on campus: fall course registration. There should legitimately be some sort of psych study conducted about registration, if only to entertain the researchers.
My name is Terence Malone, I am a 2006 graduate of the University of Richmond, and I wanted to share some thoughts about the passing of Mike Ice.
With more than 76 million views, Kony 2012 has taken the Internet by storm on Twitter, YouTube and Facebook. This 30-minute viral video, produced by advocacy organization Invisible Children (IC), aims to make Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony famous "not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice." Kony's infamous Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) originated in Northern Uganda and is known for its egregious human rights abuses, widespread child abductions and extensive use of child soldiers. But Kony 2012 offers an important lesson that has little to do with the realities of the LRA. Instead, Kony 2012 offers a sobering lesson on the dangers of misinformation.
Michael Ice, nicknamed "Ice" by his friends, was a friendly, happy, outgoing young man with an inviting smile that never left his face.
Odds are you've seen or heard Donald "Childish Gambino" Glover's work in something without even knowing who is he is. From working on "30 Rock" as a writer with Tina Fey, to acting on "Community" as Troy, to having his beats played in Adidas commercials, Glover's music has even made its way into the speakers of the Weinstein Center for Recreation and Wellness.
Every day, throughout the state, and all over the country, people undergo all kinds of medical procedures. To have these procedures done, a preliminary procedure is performed to eliminate potential risks and surprises.
We are halfway through the semester,and it has dawned on me that the frustration I have had during the past several weeks has not been school-related, but rather related to job opportunities on campus. It seems that, although there is an up-to-date list of job openings on the financial aid website, it is challenging to receive a reply from any of the prospective positions.
This past weekend, I traveled to Buffalo, New York, to watch the women's swim team compete in the A-10 Championships. "Buffalo in February?" a friend asked. "Are you crazy?"
According to a new bill that was passed in the Virginia State Senate and that is undergoing debate in the House, a Virginia woman who wants to have an abortion would be required to have a transvaginal ultrasound test before the procedure can be performed.

After reading the article "Studying Abroad: The Transition to Richmond," I couldn't help but notice that the sentiments in the article were quite different from mine studying at Maastricht University in the Netherlands.
Bob "Coach" Thalman, of Atlanta, died on Jan. 31, 2012. He was 89 years old. He is survived by Mary Thalman, his wife of 62 years, his brother William Thalman, sister Mary Jane Schuetz, his four children, Linda Norwood, Robert Thalman, Carolyn Laraway and Tommy Thalman, and 10 grandchildren.
I get it. Some Westhampton students view Ring Dance as a flawed tradition, and they are fully entitled to their views as members of our class. However, I strongly believe that Ms. Bevels' Jan. 26 article, "Ring Dance ticket sales decrease," took a very one-sided approach to the topic. The article mentioned several women expressing their various opinions about Ring Dance. Presumably this sample should have accurately reflected the opinions of junior women as a whole, yet I found myself overwhelmed with the amount of anti-Ring Dance sentiment included in the article. I would argue that this opinion is not indicative of the majority of the class of 2013. More than 65 percent of us still will be in attendance, yet every year The Collegian features virtually the same article with a few individuals vocally dissenting, and as a junior now myself, I'm tired of reading it. Where is the representation for the large population of students who are actually excited for Ring Dance?

I enjoyed reading the abroad experiences that many of my fellow classmates had abroad, and I agree with most of them. I studied abroad in Madrid in fall 2011, and it was a great experience academically and socially.
Multiple types of media affect our perceptions and realities about all aspects of our lives. Such has been the case recently at the University of Richmond involving a social event sponsored by Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. As it often happens, the use of social media provides information without full context or accuracy. Below are some facts regarding the social event:
