Athletes, who have rigorous schedules, are complaining that parking regulations are stripping valuable time out of their days because construction projects have led parking services to change the rules.

The task of accommodating the massive freshman class forced the University of Richmond Housing Department to alter its plans for this semester and, potentially, for the future. Although it's still unclear how many students will require on-campus housing during the spring semester, the Housing Department has already been forced to alter its plans for this semester, despite not having to house the record number of students currently studying abroad. There are 314 undergraduate students abroad this fall semester, said Michele Cox, director of study abroad programs. Although it cannot be predicted how many students will study abroad during the spring 2010 semester, 248 students studied abroad last fall ? compared with only 58 students during the spring ? and 18 students remained abroad all year, Cox said.
The University of Richmond set records this year for the number of alumni donors who attended Richmond as undergraduates, the amount of money donated by all donors and attendance at alumni events. In a year painted by penny-pinching after the start of a deep recession last fall, the total dollars given by all donors to the Annual Fund, nearly $6.75 million, beat the record set last year of $6.5 million.
No, no more Popsicles were stolen. Although that would be hilarious and a little eerie (serial Popsicle thief, not cool), I wanted to expand on last week's column with a little more talk about free speech. I have had many conversations with people, or heard about conversations between people who did not understand the motivation behind why some opinion articles were printed in The Collegian.

A University of Richmond nurse told residence life staff Friday that two students had tested positive for the H1N1 strain of influenza A, according to two students at the mandatory meeting.

More than 1,000 Spiders swarmed onto campus early this school year, and more than 100 of them were first- and second-year students eager to get an early start on their college careers through the university's Roadmap to Success program. The program, which started last fall, seeks to teach students how to get more out of their college experiences, both academically and socially.
This week's question stemmed from last week's Police Report in which The Collegian included a report made to the university police department that said popsicles valued at $5 were taken from an apartment during the summer. Yes, it seems ridiculous to some, and I can understand why someone would wonder why we bothered putting such a small thing in the Police Report. Basically, we print what comes to us unless it is false or damaging.
