About 40 people stood in front of Justice Park’s Stonewall Jackson statue on Sunday, May 13, to mark the first anniversary of both the white supremacist demonstration held there, and a Richard Spencer-led torchlight rally in Emancipation Park. Holding signs that read “Black Lives Matter,” “Fuck Kessler” and “Support Donald, Drop the Charges,” members of the group denounced white supremacy and its supporters. “Their attempts to intimidate Charlottesville, their attempts to use Charlottesville as a platform to defend ‘whiteness,’ have failed,” they said in a statement.

—UVA professor Jalane Schmidt in describing the festive atmosphere often found at lynchings

NEWS I t’s never the right time to say goodbye, but loyal patrons of the University of Virginia’s iconic, clamshell-roofed venue with notoriously bad sound quality don’t have much longer—the dumping of more than 40 years’ worth of stuff from University Hall has begun, with a complete demolition scheduled by 2020. To help you grieve, here’s a look back at some of the basketball stadium and concert hall’s greatest— and not-so-great—hits.

Getting smashed PAGE 17

Hall of fame

1965: It opens as the home court of the university’s men’s and women’s basketball teams.

Janis Joplin rocks U-Hall, but trash talks some stage crashers in an after-performance interview with the Cavalier Daily. “That tonight wasn’t natural,” she says.

1971:

1973: Paul Simon plays U-Hall and uses portions of the show in his live album Paul Simon in Concert: Live Rhymin’.

1974:

1975:

1982:

Sha Na Na takes the stage, and about an hour after the show, lead guitarist Vinny Taylor is found dead in his Holiday Inn hotel room, where he allegedly overdosed on heroin.

Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie tells the Cavalier Daily in a postconcert interview that the U-Hall crowd was the worst she’d seen in a “long while.”

The Grateful Dead trucks into its highly anticipated show, which sold out two weeks in advance.

Albemarle, where the lynching actually occurred, will be discussing its involvement in June, says Board of Supervisors Chair Diantha McKeel. “I’m very supportive but I can’t speak for the board.”

“In 1898 our boundaries were really blurry,” says Galvin. “Our whole region is complicit in this.”

The pilgrimage is part of a process of discovering that history, she says. “One of the things I hear constantly from both whites and blacks is, ‘I didn’t know.’” Two buses traveling to Montgomery with more than 100 people will provide an “experience grounded in truth and fact.”

City Councilor Kathy Galvin is a supporter. “It’s very important for Charlottesville to understand its own legacy of brutality and racism against African-Americans,” she says.

“I think it’s about time 120 years later that we acknowledge [James’] brutal murder.”

Galvin calls the pilgrimage a “sacred act” of recovering the soil where James was lynched and elevating the public’s understanding of what took place. By bringing the

Preston’s plea Imperial wizard says no contest to firing gun

altimore’s imperial wizard of the Confederate White Knights of the KKK did not appear in court wearing his shiny Klan robes. He didn’t wear the prison stripes from previous appearances, nor did he wear the bandanna and tactical vest he sported August 12 when he was videoed firing a Ruger SR9 toward flamethrower-brandishing Corey Long.

Richard Wilson Preston wore a dark pinstriped suit and tie in Charlottesville Circuit Court May 8 when he told a judge that he was pleading no contest to a charge of discharging a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school, a class 4 felony that carries a maximum sentence of 10 years and a fine of up to $100,000.

Even though his plea was no contest, his mutton-chopped, boater-hat-wearing attorney from Blairs, Virginia,—Elmer Woodard—objected when Commonwealth’s Attorney Joe Platania read a statement of facts of evidence the commonwealth would have presented had there been the three-day trial scheduled to begin May 9.

Judge Rick Moore had to remind Woodard, “You can’t object when you plead no contest.”

One of the witnesses would have been former Charlottesville mayor Frank Buck, whom Platania said saw Long ignite an aerosol spray can directed toward people leaving Emancipation Park after the Unite the Right rally was declared an unlawful assembly.

Buck also saw Preston pull out a silver handgun and point it toward the ground beside Long, and he heard someone shout a racial slur at Long and then a gunshot, according to the prosecutor.

Moore found the evidence as summarized “substantial,” and corroborated by bullet fragments and Preston’s own admission to

the FBI after his arrest August 26. He scheduled sentencing for May 9, but warned he still could order a pre-sentence report before sentencing Preston.

Legal expert David Heilberg says the no contest plea is unusual, but it’s the “functional equivalent of a guilty plea.” He also said that if a jury had convicted Preston, it would not have been able to give him fewer than two years.

In court May 9, Platania showed the judge videos taken earlier on August 12 in which a C-VILLE Weekly box was hurled and Preston is heard saying, “I will go out and shoot you. I’ll shoot you.” In another he says, “I’m pissed off. I’m going to shoot one of these motherfuckers,” to which Woodard objected that the video doesn’t show Preston making the latter comment.

“I saw him say it with his mouth moving,” said Moore.

Woodard, dressed in a seersucker suit and red tie, presented four witnesses who testified they felt endangered by Long. Jonathan Howe, a law clerk in Maryland who was here for the rally, said he’d gotten doused with “some kind of paint thinner” as he left the park.

“This was a very surreal moment,” he said.

“I had a flammable substance on my hand and someone running around with a flamethrower.” He said he was apprehensive that he could become a “human torch.”

Woodard had subpoenaed DeAndre Harris, the man who was brutally beaten in the Market Street Parking Garage. It was after 10:30am when Woodard asked if Harris were present. “The time to ask that might have been 9:30,” observed the judge.

And although Platania stipulated that paint thinner is volatile and ignites quickly, Woodard showed the judge a clip of Harris and Long spraying a Confederate flag and lighting it, noting “the flame and puff.”

Witness David Fowler said “one little girl got me three times” with pepper spray. He

Richard Preston will be back in court August 21 for sentencing for firing a gun August 12.

says he was unable to see and being helped out of the park when he heard the whoosh of the aerosol can. “As far as I’m concerned, [Preston] is a hero,” said Fowler. “We shouldn’t be here.”

Gregory Scott “Woodsy” Woods from Glasgow, Virginia, also encountered Long as he left the park and described swinging his flagpole at Long and knocking the aerosol out of his hand after Long “kind of charges at me with the flamethrower.”

Woods said he could feel the heat and was trapped on the steps leading to the park until Preston fired his gun.

Under cross examination, Woods denied he said Long was charging at him after Platania showed him a video, which was not visible to the rest of the courtroom. “Once he lights it, he takes a step forward,” said Woods.

Not all of the witnesses were present at the exit from Emancipation Park. Daryl Da-

vis, a black musician who’s known for befriending Klansmen to understand why they hate him in hopes of dispelling that, testified he’s known Preston for five years and they both live in the Baltimore area.

Davis said he put up 50 percent of Preston’s bond and was going to take him to see the African American Museum of History and Culture in Washington, but Preston’s house arrest prevented that visit. And when shown apparently racist comments Preston posted on Facebook after August 12—those were not read in court—Davis said he regrets those sentiments.

“I’m testifying because he’s my friend,” said Davis. “He’s in trouble and I’m trying to help.”

After three hours in the courtroom, Moore, as he’d predicted, ordered a pre-sentence report and set August 21 for Preston’s sentencing.

Wegmans encounter

By Samantha Baars news@c-ville.com

May 16 – 22, 2018 c-ville.com

@cvillenews_desk

facebook.com/cville.weekly

‘‘Y

ou gotta be kidding me, right?”

That was Gwen Williams’ initial response when a manager at the local Wegmans approached her in her car on May 2, said he’d received a complaint that an African-American woman in an orange top was panhandling in the grocery store’s parking lot, and asked if it was her.

Williams’ next response was to ask to speak to the complaining customer, and when the manager said the customer was already gone, she said, “So you just assumed it was me?”

As she sat in her truck in a coral-colored dress, with the employee peering at her through her driver’s side window, Williams showed him her brown shopping bag with the green Wegmans logo. She told him she often shops at his store on her lunch break, and said his inquisition was insulting.

When the initial shock wore off, “I said, ‘I’m just hurt,’ and I started crying,” recounts Williams. And when she got back to her job at Charlottesville Circuit Court, the tears were still in her eyes.

Williams is a deputy clerk at the courthouse, where she’s worked for 14 years.

And while she’s seen racial profiling cases come through the circuit court, she’s never been a target.

“That was the hardest part for me to accept,” she says. “You hear it and you can see it out there, but you never think it will actually happen to you, and then when it does, it’s such a sting that you don’t even know how to describe it.”

After Chief Deputy Clerk David Schmidt called Wegmans on her behalf, the general

manager requested to meet with Williams the following day, on May 3. He apologized, but Williams says she felt compelled to take the incident up the chain of command.

That’s when Bob Farr, the senior vice president and Virginia division manager of Wegmans, drove from Gainesville to meet with her on May 4.

“He said, ‘I don’t want to talk to you on the phone, I want to see you face to face,’” says Williams. “He told me what was done was absolutely wrong and should not have happened. He wanted to make it right with me.”

According to Williams, Farr said, “I can see the hurt in you,” and she says she’s continued to receive calls and emails from him checking up on her.

Jo Natale, vice president of Wegmans media relations, says, “What happened cannot be erased, but we are taking steps to help our people get it right in the future.”

She adds, “Our hope is that we will be able to restore her trust in Wegmans.”

On April 30, three black women leaving an Airbnb in Rialto, California, were detained when a neighbor called the police and reported a potential robbery next door. This came after two black men, who met at a Philadelphia Starbucks for a business meeting, were arrested on suspicion of trespassing, sparking the BoycottStarbucks hashtag.

Some locals have declared that they’ll no longer shop at Wegmans, and Williams says it’ll take time before she feels comfortable going back to the store.

“This whole ordeal has been really hard for me,” she says. “It was just hurtful. I was ashamed. I felt degraded. ...As time goes on, I’m beginning to heal from this—to pick myself up and keep going.”

City clerk a victim of racial profiling

Gwen Williams, who was racially profiled by a Wegmans employee, says it was hurtful and shameful, but she hopes to turn the negatives into positives by advocating new training for the grocery chain’s employees.

“This whole ordeal has been really hard for me. It was just hurtful.

I was ashamed. I felt degraded. ...As time goes on, I’m beginning to heal from this—to pick myself up and keep going.”

GWEN WILLIAMS

But she says it’s not about hard feelings—it’s about turning a negative into a positive.

“I’m feeling hopeful,” she adds. “We all make mistakes out there, but we can learn from them. You can educate these people, you can train them.”

She’s not only choosing to speak out for herself, but for her children and grandchildren, who she hopes will never have to have the same experience.

“Just speaking out about it makes me feel like I have a voice,” says Williams. “I’m a person that doesn’t let things stick on me or control my life, because if I did, that’s giving them all the power.”

Crozet resident not a big fan of vineyard noise Wineries are often considered the local rural area’s crown jewels, but the living isn’t always easy for those with homes near one. The hum of a giant fan at a Crozet vineyard has one neighbor at his wit’s end.

“It is truly an outrage that my wife and I are subjected to this while outside the house,” Robert Butler wrote in a recent email to the Albemarle Board of Supervisors. He attached an audio recording of the low frequency vibration that was taken from his backyard on April 21, about half a mile away from White Hall Vineyards, where the offending fan exists.

White Hall Vineyards owner Tony Champ says he’s never received a complaint about the two-blade fan that’s perched on a 40-foot tower.

He uses his automatic blower periodically during bud break, which usually happens between April 15 and May 1, to blow warm air on 20 acres of the vineyard, because if Champ loses new buds to the frost, he loses his crop for the year.

“Unfortunately, it goes off at about two or three in the morning and runs for a couple of hours,” says Champ. “I do have to admit the fan is loud.”

In Butler’s message to the supervisors, he added, “As you can hear, having that din from ‘my local vineyard’ greatly lessens the enjoyment of the sounds of nature. On our walk this morning, this sound blanketed the entirety of the Sugar Hollow region.”

The goings-on at Albemarle wineries, breweries, cideries and distilleries have been a hot topic in years past, but especially in 2016, when county administration announced an interest in further regulating events such as weddings at those venues, after rural neighbors complained about increased traffic and, perhaps most passionately, the noise.

That was also the year that Butler originally contacted the supervisors with his concerns about the racket at White Hall Vineyards.

“I’ve brought this to their attention before but, alas, nobody wants to think of a vineyard as a public nuisance,” he says. “Out here, we’re not all thrilled about these chosen businesses.”

Champ says he calls his closest neighbors when the fan is likely to automatically kick on overnight.

“We do try to be good neighbors,” he says, adding that he believes the fan has run about three times this spring.

He also does not allow amplified music at his venue.

“As wineries go, I think we’re a fairly quiet one,” he says.

According to county code, outdoor amplified music exceeding 60 decibels—approximately the same level as conversation in a restaurant or an air conditioning unit— during the day and 55 decibels at night is prohibited at farm wineries. A noise ordinance exemption exists for sounds produced by an agricultural activity.

“We don’t have any open complaints on White Hall Vineyards and we would not want to speculate on whether or not there is a violation without an onsite investigation, which we wouldn’t do without a formal complaint,” says county spokesperson Jody Saunders.

But that doesn’t cut it for the man who has written twice to county supervisors about the noise.

“The county needs to regulate this auditory abomination,” says Butler. “If [property owners] had wanted this, we could have chosen to live next to an airport.”

ou can tell it’s spring when the birds return—and start crashing into the windows at Charlottesville High while drunk on Japanese pagoda tree berries.

Avid birder Walker Catlett, 17, a junior at CHS, saw cedar waxwings flying into windows, and so far has documented at least eight dead and others stunned from soaring into the glass.

“I think they could have died because they were intoxicated by the pagoda berries,” he says. The berries ferment, and the birds “can get alcohol poisoning.”

He believes once they’re loaded on berries in the school’s courtyard, the birds bang into the reflective windows.

As he did at the new Brooks Family YMCA last fall when he found injured and dead birds outside its large windows, Catlett alerted the people in charge.

Says CHS Principal Eric Irizarry,“It’s a great example of a student applying his knowledge and interest to solve a realworld problem.”

The school notified its facilities and maintenance staff, trimmed the berries on the courtyard trees and applied poster paper to the windows as a temporary fix. And city facilities staffers have volunteered to remove nandina bushes (a flowering plant also called heavenly bamboo) around the school before next year’s berry season, says Irizarry.

The administration met with Catlett April 27 to brainstorm interim ideas to get through the migration season, which has resulted in more strikes than the school has seen before. “I believe the school is planning on putting tempera paint on the windows,” he says.

But now, a new problem: A northern cardinal fell victim to the allure of bright shiny surfaces at the Y May 1, and a northern waterthrush collided into CHS May 4.

With a turbulent start to the school year, the University of Virginia undoubtedly looks a little different than it did last spring. Although outgoing President Teresa Sullivan and the UVA administration were criticized for not doing more to protect members of the university community from last summer’s white supremacist torch-lit march, the events of August 11 and 12 have served as a catalyst for some policy changes, including requiring non-UVA-affiliated speakers to register before being allowed on Grounds. n Already in existence at UVA were several groups that serve as safe spaces for students, including the Sustained Dialogue Club and the expanding Brody Jewish Center. But Jefferson’s tenet that learning never stops has perhaps never been more clear, as the university continues to identify solutions for issues as they arise, such as constructing new student housing on Grounds to offset the number of students flooding the local market. n Some Lawn residents we spoke with, who saw their school make national headlines repeatedly in the last four years, say their time spent at UVA is impactful on many levels. The good that came out of tragic events, they say, includes meaningful conversations centered on creating change and an unbreakable bond. “[The events] taught me the value of student leadership and made me believe in the healing power of a community that comes together,” says fourth-year Maeve Curtin.

After the torch-lit white supremacist march through Grounds on August 11, thousands of members of the UVA and Charlottesville communities came together to reclaim the space with a candlelight vigil on the Lawn five days later.

Creating art from terror UVA staff and students use art as an outlet to share their messages

.D. Carson has only lived here since last May, but the hip-hop artist and UVA professor is already familiar with—and has a lot to say about—what he calls the “sickness” of Charlottesville. “It’s infecting the entire country; it just manifests itself in a few specific ways,” says Carson.

Exposing and addressing this sickness is a main goal of Carson’s latest work, Sleepwalking, Vol. 1: A Mixtape, released in September of last year, following closely behind Charlottesville’s white supremacist rallies.

As he lays out the various elements of the area’s sickness—which he defines as “white supremacism and racism”—it’s clear Carson has given this a lot of thought. Remnants of a dated era such as the Robert E. Lee statue and those who vehemently support its preservation are labeled “symptoms.”

“These are like the cough and the fever and the runny nose,” Carson explains. He has some complicated ideas about the removal of the statue itself, suggesting that doing so would be like “stopping the cough while the body is still sick.”

Carson says he’d like to find a way to “beat the sickness and not the symptoms” —but he doesn’t claim his music has the power to do that. More than anything, he says, “it’s a way of pointing at all of these different things going on and processing them. It’s not so much of a prescription or a cure.”

Carson does more than diagnose the shortcomings of the country and community. Much of his work involves introspective thinking, as evidenced by his many self-reflective questions: “How do I, as a person who’s moved here to Charlottesville for the purpose of working at Thomas Jefferson’s university, fit into this puzzle?” Carson asks.

The title of his mixtape refers to a line in Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man, in which the narrator acknowledges his own invisibility and walks softly among “the sleeping ones,” saying that “there are few things in the world as dangerous as sleepwalkers.”

It’s fair to say Carson is obsessed with this idea of sleepwalkers and invisible people.

“Am I the individual who is rendered invisible by those in the community I’ve moved into or the world I’ve been living in, somehow trying to convince myself that I’m not?” he asks. “Or am I the sleepwalker who is seeing folks as invisible?”

Carson doesn’t know the answer, but says that a big purpose of Sleepwalking is an attempt to find it—otherwise put, Carson is trying to contextualize his own role in the university and in the larger community.

Though a relative newcomer, Carson professes strong ties to the area. “If my work is about the community but not in the community or with the community or for the community, and I don’t have any contact with

Second-year Jessica Harris, who directed 2017’s Black Monologues, says many students’ response to August 11 and 12 has been to create art.

the community, then I’m looking at the symbolic,” he says.

While Carson may be an ideal artist-activist bridging the university and Charlottesville community, what about the artistic representation of the students? Second-year Jessica Harris thinks it’s just as important.

As director of 2017’s Black Monologues, Harris is well-versed on the subject of student artists and their role in addressing politics. A staple of the UVA Drama lineup,

the monologues typically celebrate or otherwise contemplate the black student experience in Charlottesville. This had been the plan for last fall’s production, but as the city underwent drastic changes, Harris explains, so did the script.

“It shifted from this individualized, celebratory focus to a more introspective one,” Harris says. “Being black, how do you deal with these issues? How do you deal with them in regards to the community?”

She adds that while ignoring August 11 and 12 “would be doing an injustice to the students,” the monologues weren’t completely consumed by discussing the white supremacist rallies. “We didn’t want a hateful terrorist event to overshadow the amazing student responses we have,” Harris says.

Both Carson and Harris have noticed artistic reactions to August 11 and 12 outside of their own personal projects. Carson cites a hip-hop event at the Ante Room in which he participated. He also criticizes the Concert for Charlottesville, calling it an “attempt to make us not talk about things anymore.”

Harris praises the multiple August in Perspective events hosted by the Carter G. Woodson Institute, along with the “less institutionalized” art of fellow students. “Students have written slam poetry, students have created art,” she says. “A lot of students have the response of just, ‘I gotta create.’”

Though both artists feel the stress of creating such politically relevant work, they also recognize the necessity of doing so.

Harris applauds fellow students for joining her in the creative process. “Students are always actively creating and channeling what they feel,” she says.

Carson says he doesn’t think the problems of Charlottesville are leaving anytime soon, but neither is he, and neither is his music addressing the problems. “Running from it won’t save me, and you have to think about whether it would save anyone,” he says.

Student group keeps the dialogue going about tough topics “After four semesters of Sustained Dialogue, I confidently say I’m gender nonconforming,” says Luke McPhillips, a second-year University of Virginia student.

Sustained Dialogue is a student-run organization that groups some 400 students into small discussions to talk about controversial issues. The organization’s main goal is to widen the perspectives of students and encourage learning outside the classroom.

“I’ve listened to how other people have experienced gender,” McPhillips says. “I’ve looked at how it influences different people’s interactions with parts of their life, and I’ve learned from that.

Dialogue forces you to really think about why you view the world the way you do.”

Meeting each week for approximately an hour, the small-group discussion topics range from race to mental health to sexual orientation to family.

“We did a dialogue about if you are morally justified in having a racial bias in who you are attracted to,” McPhillips says. “We have a preference in eye color—that’s an attribute. Skin color is also physical. [So] what’s the difference?”

The group did not come to a conclusion, something McPhillips says is not the goal of SD. Instead, the idea is to provoke conversation and attempt to understand others’ experiences. With more than 16,000 undergrads on Grounds, everyone comes from different walks of life, and the club tries to take advantage of that.

McPhillips says the process begins by “building a space.” Returning to the same space every week allows the group of strangers to become comfortable with each other, says McPhillips.

Participants open up about their backgrounds and personal lives and share ideas, innermost thoughts and confessions. Students inevitably clash, but in SD, these disagreements are seen as ways to question seemingly standard beliefs.

“Then you start to ‘norm,’ [and] that’s when people are really saying things that they would not say in normal conversations, even with friends and family,” McPhillips says. “They feel really comfortable doing that, and they feel heard and welcomed.”

Along with other primarily conservative figures, New York Times opinion columnist David Brooks criticized the need for safe spaces like SD, popular on college campuses, claiming students are becoming weaker and afraid to voice opinions in public.

McPhillips and chair of SD Jenna Wichterman argue for the necessity of safe spaces for minority populations in particular.

Yet, group moderator Alex Spratley rejects the classification all together, preferring to call SD a “brave space” because she says the discussions are meant to push participants outside of their comfort zones.

“It’s not a place where you go and people just nod and affirm you,” Spratley says. “If someone disagrees with you they may ask you, ‘Why?’ and push back a little bit. It’s never going to be a debate space, and it’s not somewhere where people just sit back and listen.”

Wichterman says all people and comments are welcome in the discussion except for those that diminish someone else’s personhood, like white supremacy.—Gracie Kreth

on-University of Virginia-affiliated speakers wishing to engage in public speaking or distribution of literature on University of Virginia property must make reservations with the university beforehand.

This new policy, announced via a May 3 email from outgoing university President Teresa Sullivan, is just one of several recommendations from the Deans Working Group, which Sullivan formed to evaluate the university’s response to the violent white supremacist rallies of August 11 and 12. Composed of 17 members, the group ranges in experience, from deans across undergraduate and graduate schools, to a student member and representatives from key university stakeholders. The organization, formed on August 18, met weekly to work on a list of suggestions for the university, which it released September 11.

“We set out to respond to the events of August 11 on three levels: safety and security; recommitting to our values of diversity, equity and belonging for every member of our community; and mobilizing the intellectual resources of our university community to address the issues raised by the events,” says Risa Goluboff, chair of the group and dean of the university’s law school, in an email. “We have made substantial progress on all three goals.”

In terms of safety and security, the group identified three areas for improvement.

The report says the university administration failed to seek out more accurate information about the white supremacists’ planned march, did not previously have sufficient policies established and did not adequately enforce existing policies relevant to the protest.

Furthermore, the university has been criticized for being woefully unprepared, even after having received information of the march in advance of August 11. The Chronicle of Higher Education and the citycommissioned report from former U.S. Attorney Tim Heaphy reveal communication within the university administration that show its underestimation of the gravity of

the march, and the University Police Department’s failure to act quickly enough. These criticisms have followed Sullivan throughout the year, most recently in the form of a rally at her farewell picnic on Grounds.

The conclusion of the group’s report outlines three key policy suggestions the university should implement: a reclassification of the Lawn as a facility, an enforcement of the open flame policies and a stricter policy for speech on Grounds, all of which the university has adopted in some manner.

In September, the Board of Visitors reclassified the Lawn as a facility, based on the first suggestion. It tightened firearm restrictions, as well as removed Confederate plaques from the Rotunda, though not specifically included in the group’s recommendations. Additionally, the university has appointed an advisory committee on the Future of the Historic Landscape to evaluate and make recommendations as to how historic symbols should be displayed on Grounds.

Another major pitfall of the response to the August events was the UPD’s lack of knowledge and a failure to enforce the section of Virginia Code that prohibits the burning of any object for intimidation.

“I wasn’t aware of this,” said Sullivan in an interview with The Cavalier Daily last August. “We are aware of it now. We’re going to make sure our police are aware of it too.”

Additionally, advised by an outside education safety consulting firm hired by the university, UVA expanded police and ambassador coverage across Grounds and amplified security at major university events, as well as implemented a clear bag policy.

The website for the Deans Working Group includes a community input forum (response.virginia.edu/share-your-ideas) for individuals to voice concerns—approximately 300 responses have been received thus far. Also listed is a detailed report of the UPD’s actions on August 11, an archive of public statements from university officials, links to news coverage of the events and a page of resources, such as a safety guide, various counseling offices and resources for faculty.

‘A drop in the bucket’ As UVA students take more local rental inventory, a call for additional on-Grounds housing is issued

By Tim Dodson

COURTESY RENDERING

W

UVA’s Brandon Avenue Upper Class Housing project includes a six-story, 208,000-square-foot residential building, which will accommodate 313 students in apartment-style housing, along with parking for 137 vehicles.

Lark on Main

The Standard

Jim Duncan, associate broker/partner with Nest Realty, says he doesn’t believe students have been the main driving force of gentrification in nearby neighborhoods, but he has noticed undergraduate students now occupying spaces further down West Main Street.

Recent years have seen the construction of the Flats and Uncommon—now known as Lark on Main—and The Standard will also soon house students living off Grounds.

“When I was a kid, the end of the world was 14th Street, but now it seems that has extended well beyond 14th Street and further up West Main as that has grown and evolved,” Duncan says.

Duncan attributes some of the rise in developments aimed at students over the past 15 years to a 2003 zoning ordinance change that allowed for higher densities near the university.

Although most UVA students live off Grounds, previous survey work has identified some unmet demand for on-Grounds housing among upperclassmen. In a 2016 presentation to the university’s Board of

Visitors, the development adversory firm Brailsford & Dunlavey identified potential unmet demand among third- and fourthyear students for more on-campus housing.

Currently, only first-year students at the university are required to live on Grounds.

Brailsford & Dunlavey also recommended constructing a 300-bedroom apartment building on Grounds and considering an additional 600 units of upperclassmen student housing. (The 300-bedroom Brandon Avenue residence is expected to open in August 2019.)

Hester said the university will likely study a site adjacent to Bice House—an existing student apartment building on Brandon Avenue—for the possible future construction of an additional 300-bedroom building, in accordance with the Brandon Avenue Master Plan. In order to address what has been identified as a 900-bed housing deficit, Hester said there will be a third on-Grounds housing project but a specific site has not been determined.

Moving forward, Cameron said a key consideration for the university should be ensuring that any enrollment growth is accompanied by an increase in on-Grounds housing for upperclassmen Duncan said constructing more onGrounds housing could be beneficial for others in the local market.

“I think that the students tend to take a lot of the housing that is in the city that is accessible to them away from people who are looking for more market rate rentals or renovations,” Duncan says. “If you can drive more students onto Grounds, I think that will open up opportunities for city residents who are not necessarily students to take advantage of.”

placement, increased traffic and parking challenges. Feldenkris and Cameron also point to factors like the growing University Health System and UVA’s acquisition of property in nearby neighborhoods as other contributors to UVA’s expanding footprint.

For example, UVA purchased just under three acres off King and Grove streets in Fifeville for $8.73 million in August 2016. In February 2017, the University of Virginia Foundation—which provides real estate and financial services for UVA—spent $4 million to buy 1000 and 1010 Wertland St., totaling about 0.55 acres in the 10th and Page neighborhood.

University Deputy Spokesperson Wes Hester said in an email that UVA does not currently have development plans for these sites.

Hester also said the university is in the process of conducting a site and constraints analysis of all property owned by the university or the UVA Foundation on West Main Street and in the nearby vicinity. However, he described the study as a routine assessment and said it “is not indicative of any near-term development.”

ith ongoing construction of an upperclassmen residence hall, the University of Virginia is in the process of increasing the availability of oncampus housing—but some students are drawing attention to UVA’s impact on the local market, and are calling for the university to bring even more of its students on Grounds.

“It’s really only a drop in the bucket of the off-Grounds student housing issue,” UVA student Brian Cameron says about the Brandon Avenue project, a 300-bed upperclassmen complex on the south end of the street —the first step in a larger redevelopment project envisioned to include a new student health center and additional academic mixeduse and residential buildings.

Cameron, along with classmates Morgan Feldenkris and Allie Arnold, examined UVA’s housing policies and property acquisition this spring as part of a course entitled All Politics Is Local. Using data from the University’s Office of Institutional Assessment and Studies, the group looked at enrollment and housing figures between 1991 and 2017 and found that while UVA’s undergraduate population has grown by about 4,700 students, there has only been an increase of about 1,300 students living on campus.

As of fall 2017, just under 9,700 students —about 60 percent of the undergraduate student population—live off Grounds. With more undergraduate students in the local housing market than ever before, and new private developments marketed to students appearing on West Main Street, the group is raising questions about potential negative impacts on nearby neighborhoods like Fifeville and 10th and Page.

“In terms of the visual experience of being a student here, even in the last two, three years we’ve been here, it’s super clear where development is happening,” Feldenkris says.

“It’s not just the Downtown Mall. It’s West Main Street. It’s 14th Street. It’s all these privatized student housing developments, and clearly those have an impact on the neighborhoods adjacent to the university.”

Feldenkris says they are concerned about gentrification and impacts like cultural dis-

The tumultuous tenure of Teresa Sullivan W

August 1, 2010: Sullivan begins her term as president—three months after UVA and Charlottesville were rocked by the murder of lacrosse player Yeardley Love by her former boyfriend and lacrosse player George Huguely.

COLE GEDDY

hen the University of Virginia announced its first female president in 2010, no one could foresee that, after only two years, Teresa Sullivan would be ousted—and then rehired— by the Board of Visitors. She was dubbed “the unluckiest president in America” by Fortune magazine in 2015, and, in 2017, shortly before the start of classes, Sullivan watched from Carr’s Hill as torch-wielding neo-Nazis marched through the Grounds of Virginia’s flagship university.

There have also been plenty of accolades as Sullivan heads toward this weekend’s commencement address before her term ends July 31—she’s been heralded for attracting faculty and raising pay. But like other public university presidents, Sullivan faced declining state funding, a push to make universities more corporate-like and tuition more affordable, as she struggled to attract minority students and deal with sexual assault. And many of the crises she faced played out on the national stage.—Lisa Provence

Teresa Sullivan speaks to the thousands who gathered at the Rotunda to welcome her back to Grounds after her unprecedented ouster— and rehiring—by the Board of Visitors in June 2012.

June 2011: The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights puts UVA under review for its handling of sexual assaults.

March 18, 2015: Shortly after midnight on St. Patrick’s Day, 20-year-old Martese Johnson hands his ID to the bouncer at Trinity Irish Pub on the Corner and is turned away. He’s accosted by three Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control agents, and appears to be thrown to the ground, although later investigations determine the agents lost their balance. Photos of the bloodied AfricanAmerican student draw national attention again to the 21st century racism still thriving at the university built by slaves.

June 10, 2012: Rector Helen Dragas announces Sullivan’s resignation barely two years into her five-year contract to a stunned community. Dragas orchestrated the ouster in frustration with Sullivan’s incrementalist approach to trends such as online courses and without the full consent of the Board of Visitors. Outrage ensues.

May 16, 2015: The Board of Visitors votes to extend Sullivan’s contract through July 2018.

September 2013: Sullivan established the President’s Commission on Slavery and the University to raise awareness and commemorate the role of enslaved laborers at UVA.

September 2015: The U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights finds UVA in violation of Title IX regulations for its failure to handle sexual assaults or harassment promptly and equitably.

September 13, 2014: Second-year Hannah Graham apparently becomes disoriented and walks to the Downtown Mall, where she’s last seen alive. Her body is found five weeks later on October 18 and her slaying is connected to that of Morgan Harrington five years earlier. Sullivan again faces issues of student safety, sexual assault and alcohol abuse. Monticello High grad Jesse Matthew pleads guilty to both murders in March 2016.

November 19, 2014: Rolling Stone publishes “A Rape on Campus: A Brutal Assault and Struggle for Justice at UVA” about the now-discredited account of alleged victim Jackie’s fraternity gang rape that drew national scrutiny—again—at how the university handles sexual assault. Sullivan heads to the Netherlands for a conference as the story breaks, leading to calls for her resignation.

She suspends Greek social activities, and the story leads to lawsuits against Rolling Stone by then associate dean Nicole Eramo, Phi Kappa Psi fraternity and three of its members.

August 11, 2017: Led by UVA alums Richard Spencer and Jason Kessler, hundreds of white supremacists and neo-Nazis carrying tiki torches march through the Academical Village shouting “Jews will not replace us” and “blood and soil,” and then surround and assault a small band of students in front of the Rotunda at the statue of founder Jefferson. The university is widely condemned for ignoring warnings that it would figure in the Unite the Right rally warm-up.

September 15, 2017: The Board of Visitors announces the hiring of UVA alum, former law school faculty and current dean of Harvard Graduate School of Education Jim Ryan to succeed Sullivan. Ryan’s announced October 1, 2018, start date has since been pushed up to August 1.

August 20, 2017: On a Facebook Live video, Sullivan snaps at a student who asks why the university did not issue a warning August

May 19-20, 2018: Sullivan is commencement speaker for the university’s Final Exercises.

April 24, 2018: UVA Today asks Sullivan about being dubbed the “unluckiest president.”

Says Sullivan, “I reject the term entirely.”

Following the now-discredited Rolling Stone article, “A Rape on Campus,” the university’s Board of Visitors meets in November 2014 (right), and votes to unanimously to support a “zero-tolerance policy” for sexual assault at UVA.

Get to work UVA’s human resources rebuilt for speed and service

By Lisa Martin

I

n July 2016, after two years spent scouring the university’s core business processes for improvement opportunities, UVA officials zeroed in on human resources as an area ripe for change. They decided that a single unified human resources organization would replace the more than 70 disjointed systems serving departments across Grounds, and that a new cloud-based technology called Workday would be put in

CLIMATE CHANGE University community members are surveyed regularly about their perceptions of the social climate at UVA, and this year is no exception. A broad campus survey is currently being conducted by the University’s Center for Survey Research to ask students, staff and faculty about their sense of well-being and belonging on Grounds, as well as about UVA’s climate for diversity, equity and inclusion.

place for employees to access the system and find help when they needed it.

Newly hired in 2016, Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer Kelley Stuck, who had worked in health care, marketing and consulting, and had managed the University of Missouri system’s HR services, was in her element.

“I like building things,” says Stuck. “I really like change projects because of the potential to have a substantial positive impact for people.”

Good thing she has lots of energy, because when she arrived, everything was happening at once. “One of the reasons I came here was because UVA is doing this right,” says Stuck.

“Instead of just installing new software without updating the underlying processes, we are doing process redesign and adding new technology and redesigning staffing all at the same time. It’s not the easy way, but it’s the most effective way.”

Now in its final stages, the $50 million transformation project, dubbed “Ufirst,” has consolidated an HR staff of roughly 240 fulltime equivalent positions down to 210,

mostly by offering early retirement and helping employees find other jobs within the university. The HR organization has been rearranged into “communities of expertise”—staff members grouped into talent, service and decision support areas—designed to partner with UVA’s more than 27,000 employees right in their academic division or unit.

“The future of HR is around workforce analytics and really understanding our people,” says Stuck. “What do they need?

How can we make the employee experience

better? How can we best recruit new talent for the future?” In refocusing and enhancing the university’s commitment to employees’ growth and success, HR and the Ufirst project received the 2018 Southern Region Excellence Award from the nation’s premier higher education HR association.

Workday, the technology piece slated to go live in January 2019, will allow employees to easily and securely access HR functions like requesting time off from work, adding benefits or exploring avenues for job advancement, all from their computer or mobile device. Stuck gave the system a whirl on her smartphone and says it was incredibly intuitive. “We want it to be as simple as a banking or shopping app,” she says. “It’s important to reach people in the way they need to receive information, and to make it a very easy process.”

After that, Stuck has no shortage of ideas.

“We want to work on learning and development, career paths, retention and promotion, so many projects,” she says. “I’m always about how can we make the next big impact.”

“Instead of just installing new software without updating the underlying processes, we are doing process redesign and adding new technology and redesigning staffing all at the same time. It’s not the easy way, but it’s the most effective way.” KELLY STUCK, UVA VICE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF HUMAN RESOURCES OFFICER

students participated in sexual assault climate surveys in 2015 and 2017, says Emily Babb, assistant vice president for Title IX compliance, and “the results indicated an increase in the perceptions that the university would support an individual who makes a report of sexual assault and that the university would take the report seriously.” New this year is a section of questions in the comprehensive survey for faculty and staff about gender-based harassment and movements focused on greater awareness of these issues.

In 2016 and 2017, UVA published reports on its “Response to Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment and Other Forms of Interpersonal Violence.” The documents show 22 formal resolutions of reported “prohibited conduct” cases in the 2015-16 school year, resulting in one student expulsion, and 40 formal resolutions during 2016-17, resulting in eight expulsions.

pinpoint a specific reason [for the increase],” says Babb, while noting that “as awareness is raised, reporting tends to increase.” With regard to 2017-18 trends thus far, Babb says, “we have observed that the #MeToo movement has given some individuals the confidence to report.”

When four years isn’t enough

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 27

WITTNEY SKIGEN

By Alexis Gravely

F

or the first three years that Lee Kussman was a student at the University of Virginia, she expected she would live somewhere exotic post-graduation—a place like San Francisco. But by the time she was ready to graduate with her systems engineering degree in 2014, she knew that Charlottesville was where she wanted to be.

“The more I thought about it, the more I realized Charlottesville really checked the boxes for me, and I had a community here that I really loved,” Kussman says.

Kussman is not alone. Thousands of students leave the university each May, but hundreds of them choose to stay. According to data from UVA’s Career Center, 202 graduates from the Class of 2016 reported they would be remaining in the city after graduation. Additionally, Charlottesville was among the top three postgraduate destinations for the classes of 2014, 2015 and 2016.

The appeal of remaining in or returning to Charlottesville after graduation is different for everyone. For Kussman, it was the community of people she found in the area and the lower cost of living than a bigger city. For Luxie Hair Services owner Destinee Wright, a 2017 graduate of UVA, it was a place to launch her career.

“I think that I’m building a solid foundation here for what I want to do,” Wright says.

“I don’t think I’ll stay in Charlottesville for my whole life, but I think that right now this is where I need to be to set myself up.”

Graham Evans, a 2009 graduate, also found that Charlottesville was a place to pursue his entrepreneurial aspirations. He stayed in town for a year-and-a-half after he graduated and worked with a local start-up.

After spending time traveling nationally and internationally, Evans returned to Charlottesville two-and-a-half years ago, and recently launched Bluegrass Creamery, an organic ice cream business.

“I was really interested in getting to know Charlottesville not as a student and was very surprised and pleased to learn that there’s this whole other world out there that I didn’t really know,” Evans says. “There was a lot to learn, a lot to get to know [and] a lot to explore in ways that were hard to do as a student.”

Both he and Kussman said the culture of the city—from the vibrant music scene to the variety of local restaurants—were parts of Charlottesville they didn’t always experience as a student but were factors they considered when deciding to live here.

Evans also said he appreciates the geography of Charlottesville—that it’s located in the mountains, sits on the Rivanna River and is only three hours from the Atlantic Ocean—which is what’s made it unique from the other places he’s lived.

Brielle DuFlon, a 2010 graduate and local artist, said the people from all walks of life who help to make Charlottesville special and welcoming is what she finds different about the area.

“I think it’s got a nice combination of a small town familiarity with a lot of the citi-

zens here, yet has amazing food and amazing music and an amazing bar and cocktail scene,” DuFlon says.

Wright also says Charlottesville is unique from the many other places she’s lived—but not in a positive way.

“Charlottesville is really racist,” Wright, who is black, says. “I’ve had multiple incidents this year. I went to 12 different public schools all across Virginia, I lived in North Carolina for a bit, too—this is a super racist area. People like to frame it as racism just now came to Charlottesville, but it’s been here.”

Evans also acknowledges that Charlottesville isn’t perfect, describing the area as “in a bubble.”

“Sometimes people blind themselves to the ways that we’re not better than the rest of the world, in terms of how we handle issues,” Evans says. “With what happened on August 12 last year and in July with the KKK rally, those have certainly forced us as a town to confront some of the underlying seediness that is in this part of the country and in central Virginia and in our town.”

Regardless of both the good and bad of Charlottesville, the biggest reason UVA graduates stay often isn’t just about the food or the four seasons or the big-city perks with a small-town feel—it’s about the people they’ve found and the life they’ve built.

“I’ve created my own community,” Wright says. “I pick and choose who I want to interact with. I really have built my own network of amazing, beautiful people. I’ve had some of the best times I’ve had in my life here through my own work.”

nity, we have made a concentrated effort, which I think succeeded, in not letting it define our year. ...If anything, I think [it] brought the Jewish community closer together, and brought a few more people into our doors. The solidarity that Jews of all levels of involvement feel and show has been really great to see this year.”

The cognitive science and public policy student says the academic rigor of UVA is what primarily drew her to the university, but she considered the size and activity of the Jewish populations of each school she looked at.

“Being a Jewish student at UVA means I have a community that I automatically feel comfortable in to fall back on when the school starts to feel too big,” says Skigen. “However, although Judaism is a huge part of my identity, it’s just that—a part.”— Samantha Baars

Destinee Wright stayed in Charlottesville after graduating from UVA in 2017 because she saw the city as a good place to open a haircare business.

Graham Evans, a 2009 UVA grad, recently launched Bluegrass Creamery, a local organic ice cream company. Artist Brielle DuFlon graduated from UVA in 2010, and stayed here because Charlottesville has a “nice combination of a small town familiarity” and an excellent food, drink and music scene.

“While August 11 and 12 definitely affected the Jewish community, we have made a concentrated effort, which I think succeeded, in not letting it define our year. ...If anything, I think [it] brought the Jewish community closer together.”

He found himself questioning how much of his religion he should display.

“It’s a bit different for me, as I wear a kippah all the time, so my Jewish identity is more apparent than some,” he says.

But he still wears a yarmulke, and says he feels safe at UVA and in Charlottesville “most of the time.”

Wittney Skigen, also a rising fourth-year, wears a pendant that identifies her faith.

“There are definitely times that I think twice about whether or not to wear my Star of David necklace, but I always decide that the right answer is yes,” she says.

“I think I am more aware of my surroundings now, but I do not feel less safe on Grounds or in the community.”

Both students say one of the most powerful moments of being a WaJew was the Unity Shabbat they hosted for the entire university community last semester. More than 150 people of all faiths attended a Friday night service and nearly 100 others joined for dinner afterward.

“Seeing the support from so many communities made me more proud to be Jewish than I can even describe,” says Skigen.

Adds Brody-Boyd, “It was a wonderful event. I don’t think I stopped smiling that entire night.”

Both students also agree that life at the university is returning back to normal.

“Jewish life here at UVA was different for a long time, and in some ways is still healing from it,” says Brody-Boyd. “However, I would say that we have never been stronger as a community.”

Life on the lawn

A visit to Grounds isn’t complete without a stroll past the fourth-year Lawn rooms in hopes of sneaking a peek inside via an open door. The good news for all of us is that these students—Lawnies—love telling stories about their time at UVA and reminiscing with alumni who come back to see their former digs. Below, three Lawnies share some of their favorite memories of the past four years, as well as advice for incoming first-years.

Maeve Curtin

What’s the best/coolest thing you attended during your time at UVA? This March I went to a panel discussion sponsored by the Virginia Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Commission. Dr. Wesley Harris, who was a student activist at UVA as an undergraduate student and the primary student responsible for bringing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to Grounds in 1963, participated in this event. He also lived in my room on the Lawn, and so in addition to hearing these very thoughtful insights from panelists about UVA, Charlottesville and race in America, I had the opportunity to meet a former Room 53 resident. I loved hearing stories from Dr. Harris about his time at UVA, as I do with all alumni, but particularly those who lived in my room because it reminds me of the incredible history and stories that exist in the space I’m lucky enough to inhabit.

Hometown: Falls Church, Virginia Major: Global development studies and government. Will be returning to UVA in August to pursue her master’s in public policy at the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy What involvements/accomplishments led to you getting a Lawn room?

Most of my involvements centered around community engagement and public service.

Student Council and serving as the student liaison to the Charlottesville City Council took up most of my time, but allowed me to learn more about UVA and Charlottesville than I ever imagined and definitely increased my love for this place and my desire to improve it. My other main involvements include serving as an R.A., moderating for Sustained Dialogue and PULSE, sexual violence and hazing prevention work and Best Buddies.

What advice would you give a first-year?

Never lose sight of the people who matter.

Coming from a nostalgic fourth-year who has been asked about favorite memories a lot recently, I have centered every story around the people who shared those memories with me. Say yes to a picnic on the Lawn even when you’re trying to write a paper, go get dinner with your first-year hall, organize a Humpback hike, show up at your friends’ concerts, games and recitals, and invest time in your friends because it’s the most valuable gift you can give.

Why did you choose to go to UVA? As a student from Virginia, I always knew I

What’s the best thing about living on the Lawn?

The fact that I can come home almost any time or day of week and find people either hanging out in my room or nearby outside.

I love that it’s not just my home, but a room so many friends feel just as comfortable in as well. I also did not realize how important my neighbors would become, but when I look back on my Lawn experience, I know it will be that special community that stands out most.

Hometown: Atlanta Major: History Did you know you wanted to live on the Lawn since you were a first-year?

I had always romanticized the Lawn but never thought I would get to experience it firsthand. This was a general attitude of reverence among friends, but imagining our own places on the Lawn felt too far away. I remember feeling completely enchanted during a club meeting in a fourth-year student’s room on the east side in my first weeks at UVA, and I couldn’t ignore that I wanted to be a part of the community in this way.

What involvements/accomplishments led to you getting a Lawn room?

I co-founded a club focused on providing college counseling services to first-generation college applicants called FairED, and I work as a research assistant in the Curry School’s Nudge4 labs that intersect education and technology. Additionally, I work as the internal chair of the Sexual Violence Prevention Coalition, wrote for the Cavalier Daily’s Life section and served as a Kappa Delta recruitment chair.

How many times a week do people stop by and ask to see your room?

Perhaps 10 to 15 on average, but the numbers are much higher on nice days. During Days on the Lawn I talked to dozens of families and future Hoos!

What’s your favorite hidden spot at UVA (it’s okay, you can tell us now that you’re leaving!)?

There’s a little pathway behind Garden X, past the serpentine walls and before the East Range. When you stand at a certain point on the path, the scene looks as if it came straight out of Colonial Virginia, and it’s so beautiful in every season.

What’s your favorite hidden spot at UVA (it’s okay, you can tell us now that you’re leaving!)?

I like studying on the top floor of the Special Collections Library. It’s a beautiful building that’s never crowded and the view of Central Grounds is really beautiful.

What’s the best place to eat on campus?

I love going to get food from any of the food trucks by the amphitheater. It’s a good way to spend time outside and you’re always bound to run into someone you haven’t seen in a while since they are so popular.

There were some difficult events that drew national attention during your time at UVA—how did that affect your college experience?

The Class of 2018 has undoubtedly had a challenging time at UVA. Confronted with tragedy after tragedy and headline after headline, I know that inevitably these events have changed the way I see UVA and Charlottesville. I know most people expect that change to be a negative one, but much like living with no air conditioning and walking outside to use the bathroom, it is just the way things have been. It’s taught me the value of student leadership and made me believe in the healing power of a community that comes together. These events made us more resilient and reminded us all to tell people how much they mean to us a little more often.

Anna Wickham

What’s the best thing about living on the Lawn?

I have been amazed at the community of friends, new and old, that’s formed on the Lawn this year. I count my neighbors as some of my closest friends with whom I’ve made unforgettable memories that have defined my UVA experience. I wouldn’t trade my fourth year here for anything because of them.

How many times a week do people stop by and ask to see your room?

I keep my door open as much as possible when I’m home and people always stop in and ask questions about living on the Lawn.

On weekend mornings I meet tons of visitors who love coming in to look around; on average I would say that about five days a week I have people pop in to look at the room.

Little kids love commenting on how tall my loft is and sometimes even ask to climb up.

Adults tend to gravitate toward my wine rack.

would apply to UVA, but never really considered coming here seriously. When I finally visited in March of my senior year I absolutely fell in love with the people here and knew this was where I wanted to spend my college years. I remember watching a UVA basketball game in a Lawn room and was incredibly impressed by the diversity of conversations all the students were having while watching the game. From Shakespeare and Russian literature to debates on the meaning of American democracy, discussion of college basketball stats and even stories of streaking the Lawn, my conversations with friends and classmates have mirrored those I heard that night.

Maeve Curtin

What’s the best/coolest thing you attended during your time at UVA? Seeing Angela Davis speak at the Paramount was truly incredible—she’s a hero of mine and hearing her perspective on the horrific events of August 11 and 12 gave me hope

Anna Wickham

for the future and reinstated the strength and wisdom of female leaders. Other honorable mentions include all Whethermen improv comedy shows and the area poetry program capstone presentations.

What advice would you give a first-year?

Invest time and energy into friendships you care about, go on as many adventures as you can, take a class in women, gender and sexuality and African-American studies, ask good questions, go to office hours, recycle when you can, save keepsakes from special moments over your four years, pursue those things in life that you really want.

How many items have you checked off the “Things to Do Before I Graduate” list?

110–hoping to get the final eight by graduation!

David Birkenthal Hometown: Lutherville, Maryland Major: Politics, honors

How do you deal with the elements: no air conditioning/having to walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night?

I’ve only had a few rough nights with the temperature, and we only had one snowfall of any significance this year. I usually joke with tourists that UVA convinces you that living on the Lawn is a big honor, and then you find yourself walking in a robe to go take a shower in 8-degree weather, and you just have to wonder if this is just all a big prank.

What’s your favorite hidden spot at UVA (it’s okay, you can tell us now that you’re leaving!)?

In Alderman Library’s new stacks on floor 2M there’s the comfiest red rolling chair that I’ve been sitting in since second year to do homework or just watch a movie. I looked up the price of this chair once, because that’s what I do when I procrastinate, and it’s “only” $100, so if anyone is looking to get me a graduation gift…

What’s the best/coolest thing you attended during your time at UVA? The Concert for Charlottesville was definitely exciting, but I was also able to snag a ticket to go hear Hillary Clinton speak last semester during the Women’s Global Leadership Forum and that was amazing to hear her talk a bit about the 2016 campaign.

What’s one thing you won’t miss about UVA? Bees. I’m getting better, but I’m still very afraid of bees and Grounds has a heck of a lot of them. I get that all the plants make UVA a beautiful college, and I get that bee populations are at risk, but geez Louise these bees!

How many items have you checked off the “Things to Do Before I Graduate” list?

Not nearly enough. Once I realized I was never going to wake up early enough to get the No. 1 ticket a Bodo’s, I started just picking and choosing the ones I wanted to do.

Why did you choose to go to UVA? Did it meet your expectations?

I was accepted here and Penn State. I love Happy Valley dearly, but Penn State is one of the country’s most expensive schools for out-of-state students, and AccessUVA made coming to UVA the only reasonable decision. I didn’t know what to expect coming in, but in these past four years I’ve watched Brittany Howard perform live, driven to the Grand Canyon, saw Katie Couric speak, rushed the field at Scott Stadium (twice), become neighbors with

David Birkenthal

“In my first year, with Hannah Graham, Rolling Stone and Martese Johnson, I felt much more like a spectator, unsure of what my place was in all this and just watching the fourth-years lead the community...In the past year, with the events of August 11 and 12, I can say that I was proud to watch those I like to think of as my peers become anything but spectators.” DAVID BIRKENTHAL

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Did you know you wanted to live on the Lawn since you were a first-year?

Until early in my second year, about when my third-year friends were thinking about applying to the Lawn, I legitimately believed you had to either, one, be a UVA legacy student or, two, be in a secret society in order to live on the Lawn. Honestly, for all I know, I might be the first-ever Lawnie who isn’t in a secret society.

There were some difficult events that drew national attention during your time at UVA—how did that affect your college experience?

In my first year, with Hannah Graham, Rolling Stone and Martese Johnson, I felt much more like a spectator, unsure of what my place was in all this and just watching the fourth-years lead the community, and I know that most of my class feels similarly about that beginning period of our time at UVA. In the past year, with the events of August 11 and 12, I can say that I was proud to watch those I like to think of as my peers become anything but spectators. On the 11th, I was here in my room, and on the 12th, I was downtown working at The Haven. That less than 24-hour period still gets

to me, to say the least, as anyone I’ve spent 31 much time around this year could tell you.

I think I can only describe it all as a unique college experience, being somehow both universally understood (CNN and the president made sure of that), while still being entirely incomprehensible to anyone but myself. When I talk about my college years, I’ll inevitably end up talking about being 30 yards or so from a highly publicized domestic terrorist attack, which is, for lack of a better word, different. But, I think I’ve found that I conceive of my sense of purpose as forever fundamentally tied to UVA and Charlottesville because of being part of the unprecedented and extraordinary events in my first few years as a member of this community. I’m not really sure where I’ll find myself after graduation and in the coming years, but the people of the Charlottesville community will always act as a guide for me, and that alone is more than I could have ever asked for from these past years.

May 16 – 22, 2018 c-ville.com

There were some difficult events that drew national attention during your time at UVA—how did that affect your college experience?

Tragic and heartbreaking events beginning in September of first year with Hannah Graham and ending with the terrorist marches of August 11 and 12 were painfully difficult to reconcile. However, with each national headline, they brought us closer together.

They also spurred important conversations and helped to improve existing UVA policies and practices.

Larry Sabato and road-tripped to Mount Rushmore with my best friend, so whatever expectations I could’ve had have definitely been exceeded.

STEPHEN BARLING

What involvements/accomplishments led to you getting a Lawn room?

In my Lawn application, I wrote about the toy library my friend Madison Lewis (shoutout!) and I got started, so I guess I’d say that’s what landed me here. Every JMRL location now has these toy sets available for children to come borrow as they would a book. The program makes sure that all young kids in the Charlottesville area, no matter their socioeconomic status, have access to the sorts of high-quality toys that promote pretend play and encourage involvement from mentoring figures, like a parent or a sibling, in a child’s playtime.

fter a Lord Nelson show at a venue in the southeast, an audience member approached lead singer and guitarist Kai Crowe-Getty. “You guys aren’t for erasing history, right?” the attendee asked. “Every now and then,” Crowe-Getty says, “we have to diffuse a situation like that and stand by what we believe.”

Listen to Lord Nelson’s debut album The County and the forthcoming Through the Night, and it’s pretty clear what Crowe-Getty believes. Take “Virginia” from The County—it’s a horn-heavy and bluesy ballad with lyrics written from the viewpoint of one of Crowe-Getty’s relatives who fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War. “He’s asking himself, ‘Why the hell am I doing this?’” says Crowe-Getty. “It’s about his shame and regret about the war he was fighting.”

Through the Night’s “Safety Meeting” and “Southern Discomfort” stem from the experience of Crowe-Getty and his four bandmates—lead guitarist Calloway Jones and brother Henry Jones on vocals, keys and trombone, drummer Johnny Stubblefield and bassist Andrew Hollifield—watching the events of August 11 and 12 remotely while the band was touring.

“We wrote ‘Southern Discomfort’ after touring around the South and seeing Confederate flags all over highways,” Crowe-Get-

“It’s easy to feel isolated or in your own little world when you’re traveling in a van with four other dudes,“ Crowe-Getty says.

“It’s also wonderful and can put things at arm’s length. The past year was about reconciling that if we wanted to do this as a career, we have to make sacrifices. We all love making music more than anything else.”

Recording the album was cathartic for Crowe-Getty because it gave the band an opportunity to support one another and the space to process life changes.

“We were playing and performing and exploring and doing some weird stuff,” CroweGetty says. Through the Night’s “When the Lights Come Down,” for example, “started as a strummy acoustic number and turns into this big, weird Men at Work mixed with psychedelic vibe.” Jones found a groovy keyboard riff, and he and Crowe-Getty mixed in 10 guitars. They wanted to create a “ghostly kind of feedback” sound for the track, which they achieved by recording guitar on a cell phone and rerecording the phone’s audio.

Crowe-Getty says the band is pumped to play a hometown release show at the Southern on May 18, and “make it a really great party.”

Horns from The Judy Chops and “force of nature” Athena Jackson will share the stage.

“There has been a huge swell of fantastic releases from the Charlottesville area in the past year,” Crowe-Getty says. “Charlottesville is a great incubator, and we love seeing our friends get after it.”

ty says. “We rewrote it and let it sit for a while until this summer.”

“Stars and bars over 29, / just south of Lynchburg before the state line, / now they’re gathering in city streets / a lost cause it doesn’t know defeat,” Crowe-Getty sings in the opening verse between a heartbeat drumline punctured by progressively rising guitar chords. Soulful vocalist sisters Davina Jackson and Davita Jackson-Voit join Crowe-Getty in his staccato delivery of the chorus. Together, the song’s elements are reminiscent of a call and response—finding unity, harmony and artistry in spite of division and abrupt endings. They come together to tell an all-too-familiar story of shock and rage.

Crowe-Getty says the new record is darker than the band anticipated. In the two years between albums, Crowe-Getty and his bandmates came to terms with “the natural migration of life,” dealing with personal loss, feeling tested and stretched too thin.

Crowe-Getty’s brother, Bram, helped found Lord Nelson in 2012, wrote and performed on Through the Night and ultimately left the band to go back to school.

t’s a Friday afternoon at Grit Coffee on Elliewood Avenue. Jenny Wales sits at an outdoor table, one of the few open seats. Finals are fast approaching and the shop is swarming with students. Wales doesn’t seem to mind, and, in fact, seems perfectly at ease—she’s home.

“This is my 20-year reunion,” she says. Wales isn’t just referring to the drama degree she received from the University of Virginia in 1998, but also to the reason she returned­—to become the new artistic director of the Heritage Theatre Festival.

Wales’ is the classic success story of a drama major. After graduating, she made a career as an actress in New York. This was followed by a stint in 2011 at Chapel Hill’s PlayMakers Repertory Company as associate producer and director of education and outreach, what Wales describes as her transition “from solo performer to artistic administration.”

“On Grounds, there’s so many opportunities to deepen what we’re doing,” Wales says. “I think Play Makers really set me up to move that forward.”

Though it’s been two decades since she attended the university, Wales has a student-like energy and wants to apply it to her role as artistic director, and she’s already full of ideas. “What I’m really interested in is producing entertaining and engaging theater that’s also allowing us to question ourselves and who we are,” Wales says. “I think we’re in a moment to do that, and we should be doing that.”

A big aspect of her plans is increasing the “national presence of Heritage,” and bringing even more prestige to what is already one of Virginia’s most renowned theater groups, and Charlottesville’s only summer theater festival. This entails hosting auditions not just in Charlottesville, but also artistic hubs like Washington, D.C., and New York City. “We saw over 300 actors in one day,” Wales says, laughing a little at the memory.

This summer marks the Heritage Theatre Festival’s 44th season, featuring a blend of comedy and drama, contemporary and classic—the powerful combinations that have made the festival a success for so many years.

The process of selecting these plays was not an easy one, Wales stresses. “I read hundreds of plays, I’ve seen hundreds of plays,” she says. “We really selected and chose with intentionality, and I think each provides something different from the other.”

Though Wales is unable to choose a favorite production out of the 2018 lineup, she can’t hide her excitement about opening with A Chorus Line.

“From a purely personal standpoint, the opportunity to collaborate with Matt Steffens is pretty incredible for both of us,” says Wales. Steffens, the director of HTF’s A Chorus Line, is a fellow UVA grad and has also enjoyed considerable success in professional theater, with involvement in multiple Broadway productions.

“For us to create work together here at the university where we met, where we really challenged one another to define who we are as artists...that’s something that doesn’t happen every day,” Wales

UVA graduate and drama major Jenny Wales’ first production season as artistic director of the Heritage Theatre Festival includes A Chorus Line, Harvey and The Mountaintop.

ON CUE Jenny Wales high-steps into her role as HTF’s artistic director with A Chorus Line on June 21, and the process to cast the musical about auditioning to be in the cast of a musical had its own IRL dramatic moments.

“At Heritage Theatre Festival’s first NYC open call, we weren’t sure how many women would show up,” says Wales. “When we arrived at 9:25 to put down the sign-up sheet for the 10am dance call, there were already 205 signed up. All of a sudden the three hours to see the women didn’t seem like enough time. By the time we got to group seven, it truly felt like a chorus line!

“Julian Sanchez, who is playing Paul, went very method and turned his ankle during the dance audition in Charlottesville.

He went to the doctor and got crutches and returned the next day to do the callback on crutches and still made us cry!”

says. “It’s something that both of us are really grateful for.”

She defines the relationship between them as being “each other’s artistic touchstones,” and notes their “very difficult conversations.”

In Wales’ role within HTF, it’s a time of change, though she prefers the word shift over change, calling change a “tricky word.” What she hopes to shift, is something that keeps reappearing in the conversation—accessibility.

“What I’m really interested in is expanding the reach of the work that we do, and hopefully re-

Though it’s been two decades since she attended the university, Jenny Wales has a student-like energy and wants to apply it to her role as artistic director, and she’s already full of ideas. viving a place for the expansion of our audience,” Wales says. She has some practical solutions in mind such as lowering the price of single tickets—but she acknowledges that “price isn’t the only barrier to entry.”

More than anything, Wales seeks inclusivity.

“How can we program our work in a way that provides a space for everyone to come and take part in what we’re producing?” she asks.

It’s clear that Wales has countless ideas for improvement—along with a genuine passion for theater. “I think there’s a lot of change with the arts on Grounds,” Wales says. “You can sense the energy and focus on the arts in a really powerful way. And it’s humbling to be a part of that.”

Strings theory Aja Gabel strikes a chord with The Ensemble

round the same time Aja Gabel began learning the alphabet, she began playing the violin. As she became more adept at writing, filling “notebooks with stories as kind of a way to play,” she became more skilled at reading and playing music. When she was 10 years old she traded the violin for the cello and continued her studies through graduate school, stopping short of pursuing music as a career.

“I just never had the professional chops,” Gabel says. “I was good but I couldn’t get to that next level.

It was always this thing I really loved and wanted to be a part of.” A 2009 graduate of UVA’s creative writing program who now lives in Los Angeles, Gabel says, “The way I became part of it was by writing a novel about it.”

That novel is The Ensemble, published this month

by Riverhead Books. It details the lives and relationships of Jana, Henry, Brit and Daniel—the central characters who make up the titular string quartet struggling to establish a career together. Gabel first had the idea for the book as a teenager when she took a chamber music seminar led by members of the St. Lawrence String Quartet. Observing them for 10 days, Gabel came away with a strong sense of the interconnection their art required.

“I’d never been around professional players of that caliber that were also like people I would want to be friends with,” she says. “It sort of humanized that world in a way it often isn’t.” And that’s exactly what she sets out to do in The Ensemble: Bring the reader into rehearsals, hotel rooms and the homes of these four interdependent people, and trace the

fascia that binds them, as well as the tender secrets they keep from each other.

Jana and Henry share an emotional intimacy and platonic friendship while Brit and Daniel dabble in physical intimacy but struggle to understand each other emotionally. The novel follows the quartet members as their career and relationships evolve and their intimacies with each other deepen.

“It became clear to me they had to have some kind of personal relationship in order to make this professional relationship work,” Gabel says. “And you have to do that for years. It’s not normally the case for any other profession.” She explains, “In a string quartet, the thing you’re doing is so intimate that you end up having these relationships that aren’t necessarily romantic but are some weird breed of closeness.”

She details beautifully in the book the hyperawareness each musician has of the others’ bodies and movements. “You come to know somebody’s physicality very well,” Gabel says, with a depth of knowledge you might not even have about your closest friends. “You have to be able to anticipate, react and respond to their physicality with your own physicality. It’s essential when you’re playing music together,” she says.

Gabel addresses the messiness of life and human relationships, of ambition and personal and professional fulfillment, often drawing on music as metaphor. In one particularly poignant line, Brit questions the phrase “inner harmony” (“How can you harmonize with yourself?”) and Daniel responds: “I don’t know about you, but I contain many pitches. It’s about moving from polyphony to harmony. People are so much music. People don’t recognize that enough.”

Life of the Party relies on recycled gags

redit is due to Ben Falcone and Melissa McCarthy for their efforts to inject meaningful emotions into broad comedies without punching down or relying on unwarranted meanness for their punchlines. But it would help if those punchlines were funny.

Back in 2013, their collaboration on Tammy used McCarthy’s star power to tell a sweet story about a woman trying to find herself after a sudden separation from her cheating husband uprooted her life. Now in 2018, we have almost the exact same story—woman trying to find herself, cheating husband, uprooted life—that aims more for comedy than Tammy did and eliminates the

If only there were more to it. The jokes play like TV edits of R-rated movies in that the teeth feel removed. Three riotous mo-

ments are connected by the most boring storytelling in recent memory. The performers do what they can with the material but there is so much dead space that even a cast of improv talent this strong (Walsh, Gillian Jacobs, Maya Rudolph) can’t make anything of it. Promising setups are left to die on the vine, and adequate jokes are smothered to death with endless vamping and repeat-the-thingthat-just-happened gags that are so popular these days.

Life of the Party is a comedy like a plate of chips and melted cheese but with no peppers or beans or nachos—maybe technically accurate by some definition, but bereft of key elements that make it worthwhile. Subject yourself to it only if you don’t like fun.

motivation for the punchlines or hugs that happen anyway. The resulting movie, Life of the Party, is one that has a couple laughout-loud moments but fills in between with directionless gags that the phenomenally talented cast can’t rescue.

We meet Deanna (McCarthy) as she and her husband are dropping off their daughter, Maddie (Molly Gordon), for her senior year in college. As they drive away, before they’re even at the end of the sorority’s driveway, Deanna’s husband, Dan (Matt Walsh) says he is in love with another woman, he wants a divorce and is selling the house. Deanna, who was previously enrolled at the same school as her daughter but dropped out her senior year when she became pregnant, decides to finish her degree in archaeology with a new lease on life.

It’s not a bad premise, and though strikingly similar to Back to School starring Rodney Dangerfield, McCarthy and Falcone do find places to explore worthwhile topics. A few times they even subvert what might have been gross-out or punching-down lines with real humanity. The awkwardness of having your mother present for your college experience—partying, dating, getting to know roommates, maintaining your social status while keeping good grades—is real, but a loving relationship is more important. Characters who exist only for a momentary gag are never humiliated, so points to Life of the Party for civility.

ALL YOU CAN EAT

Littlejohn’s

Cornering the market It’s 1:44am on a Friday. All is quiet, but in a few minutes, everything will change when popular student watering holes Trinity, Boylan Heights, Coupes’ and other Corner bars flip on the lights, signaling the end of night. But just because the drinks have stopped flowing, that doesn’t mean a Wahoo’s night is over. Every weekend during the school year, as Charlottesville sleeps, hungry students descend on the Corner’s robust array of late-night eateries. Here are five of the most popular after-last-call snack destinations for UVA students.—Ben Hitchcock and Gracie Kreth

1. Sheetz

burger, a hamburger topped with a fried egg, and the Grillswith, two grilled Krispy Kreme donuts covered with ice cream.

2. The White Spot

When potential clients have many choices and severely impaired decision-making skills, location becomes crucial. Fortunately, Marco & Luca is located just across the street from Coupe’s—as students stagger up the stairs from the bar, the first place that meets their eye is the dumpling shop.

Marco & Luca keeps its menu simple—perfect for college students fumbling to pull crumpled bills from their wallets—and recently expanded its menu from five items to a whopping seven. Tough luck, vegans, this is a pork-dumpling-only kind of place.

While the food is tasty, the best part of an evening at Marco & Luca is watching drunk people try to use chopsticks.

4. Christian’s Pizza Christian’s Pizza on the Downtown Mall is a wholesome staple of life in Charlottesville, while late-night Christian’s

5. Littlejohn’s Littlejohn’s used to corner the late-night market for its 24hour service, but the addition of Sheetz last year caused it to share its crown. No matter, not much has changed at this sandwich-slinging refuge, where it’s not uncommon to see students catching a few seconds of shut-eye while they wait for their companions to finish the last bites of their Reubens or Chipotle chicken sandwiches. There’s something calming about knowing no matter what went down that night, Littlejohn’s remains a beacon of light, a place of respite where the scent of deli meat lingers in the air.

The White Spot is one of the Corner’s oldest businesses, but the greasy spoon is not immune to late-night boozy disarray.

After a certain hour, it’s not uncommon to see a hungry student hop behind the counter and flip burgers to his heart’s content.

Many of the White Spot’s menu items toe the line between inventive and hitting the spot after a few (or several) white Russians. The go-to soak-up-the-booze menu items: the Gus

Yes, Sheetz. The gas station chain opened a location on University Avenue this past year, bringing all the glamour of a highway rest stop to the university’s venerable Corner.

Sheetz’s hot dogs, mozzarella sticks and made-to-order sandwiches are some of the cheapest eats on the Corner— previously frozen or not, the inexpensive food is popular among students, especially after six vodka cranberries.

Sheetz has computerized kiosks for orders, which are great for avoiding human contact when you’re slurring your words.

on the Corner is loud and lively, a hub of oily, pepperoniscented chaos.

Sharing a wall with popular bar Boylan Heights, Christian’s is dependably crowded, especially just after last call.

The line snakes around the interior of the store, and wobbly students laugh and argue as they size up the offerings.

The staff serves pizza every night with stone-faced disinterest—there’s no level of drunken shenanigans they haven’t seen before. Slices have been flung, and Parmesan cheese has reached places where Parmesan cheese should never go.

Head start New women’s basketball coach says she’s ready to take the lead at UVA

TINA THOMPSON

at what she did was really helpful in terms of how to explain things.”

Thompson, who was promoted to associate head coach at Texas in 2017, works hard at getting the most she possibly can out of her players, McGee-Stafford says.

“She’s really laid-back, she’s not really a yeller, but she also demands a lot of you,” McGee-Stafford says. “But you want to give that to her. You just know she wants the best and she is the best, so what she asks, you can do.”

After three seasons with the Longhorns, Thompson accepted the job at Virginia and became the program’s fifth head coach in its 44-year history.

Thompson’s desire for victory will certainly be a central focus as she takes over a Virginia roster that returns a lot of talent from a season that saw the Cavaliers win their first NCAA Tournament game since 2009.

“We’re going to work hard, and I would be remiss to say that this is not going to be a process,” Thompson said. “It is. And building something great and worth having is absolutely a process. But we’re in a good place.”

basics beyond!

Although she hasn’t been on the coaching side of the court for long, Thompson’s former player points to her drive to win.

“She’s won on every level so she knows how to win,” McGee-Stafford says. “She doesn’t know the head coaching thing, but she really knows how to win. And at the very minimum, if you know how to win, you make it happen—no matter where you’re at.”

Watercolor &

Four-time WNBA champion Tina Thompson spent three years as an assistant coach at the University of Texas before accepting the job as UVA Women’s Basketball head coach.

May 16 – 22, 2018 c-ville.com

hen Tina Thompson was named head coach of the Virginia women’s basketball team in April, amid the excitement of landing the soonto-be Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer, there were questions about whether the star was ready for the job after only a few seasons of assistant coaching at the University of Texas.

Thompson addressed those concerns during her introductory press conference with UVA Athletics Director Carla Williams, and made it clear that not only she was ready for the chance to take the lead, but that taking the lead is where she feels most comfortable.

“In everything that I do, I want to be the absolute best, and I want to lead from the front,” Thompson said. “It’s where I enjoy being, in the front and leading and teaching.”

The first thing Imani McGee-Stafford, current center for the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream and a former Texas player, said when Thompson was named assistant coach at UT in 2015 was that she didn’t see Thompson in that role—she saw her as a head coach. “[She is] absolutely a great fit,” McGeeStafford says of her former coach. “She just has a very strong personality so I was sure she would eventually have the top job.”

With a playing career made up of being on top, it’s only fitting that Thompson’s coaching career is headed in the same direction.

During her 17-year professional career, Thompson picked up four WNBA championships with the Houston Comets, landed a spot on the WNBA All-Decade Team, notched nine WNBA All-Star selections and won two Olympic gold medals. When she retired from playing in 2013, she left as the league’s all-time leading scorer (7,488 points in 496 games played) and remained the holder of that record for four years.

Though she was hesitant to move into the coaching realm, once she did, she made an

impact right away. Her first assignment was to help senior McGee-Stafford develop.

With Thompson’s assistance, McGeeStafford saw an increase in average points and rebounds per game, and she moved into the second spot on Texas’ career blocked shot list. During her senior year, McGee-Stafford was also named the Big 12 Co-Defensive Player of the Year, earned honorable mention All-American honors and became the first player in program history to record the combination of 1,000 career points, 1,000 career rebounds and 200 career blocks. McGeeStafford then went on to be the 10th overall pick in the 2016 WNBA draft (Thompson was the first-ever WNBA draft pick when she went to the Houston Comets in 1997).

“I think for me it was mostly just about confidence,” McGee-Stafford says. “Obviously Tina is a hall of famer, and she’s one of the best ever to play the game. So having a coach who just transitioned from the player perspective who was very, very good

Gemini (May 21-June 20): One of the most popular brands of candy in North America is Milk Duds. They’re irregularly shaped globs of chocolate caramel. When they were first invented in 1926, the manufacturer’s plan was to make them perfect little spheres. But with the rather primitive technology available at that time, this proved impossible. The finished products were blobs, not globes. They tasted good, though. Workers jokingly suggested that the new confection’s name include “dud,” a word meaning “failure” or “flop.” Having sold well now for more than 90 years, Milk Duds have proved that success doesn’t necessarily require perfection. Who knows? Maybe their dud-ness has been an essential part of their charm. I suspect there’s a metaphorical version of Milk Duds in your future, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): In my vision of your life in the coming weeks, you’re hunting for the intimate power that you lost a while back.

After many twists and trials, you find it almost by accident in a seemingly unimportant location, a place you have paid little attention to for a long time. When you recognize it, and realize you can reclaim it, your demeanor transforms. Your eyes brighten, your skin glows, your body language galvanizes. A vivid hope arises in your imagination: how to make that once-lost, now-rediscovered power come alive again and be of use to you in the present time.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The etymological dictionary says that the English slang word “cool” meant “calmly audacious” as far back as 1825.

The term “groovy” was first used by jazz musicians in the 1930s to signify “performing well without grandstanding.” “Hip,” which was originally “hep,” was also popularized by the jazz community. It meant, “informed, aware, up-to-date.” I’m bringing these words to your attention because I regard them as your words of power in the coming weeks.

You can be and should be as hip, cool and groovy as you have been in a long time.

LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

By Rob Brezsny

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I hope you will seek out influences that give you grinning power over your worries. I hope you’ll be daring enough to risk a breakthrough in service to your

Taurus (April 20-May 20): A chemist named Marcellus Gilmore Edson got a patent on peanut butter in 1894. A businessperson named George Bayle started selling peanut butter as a snack in 1894. In 1901, a genius named Julia David Chandler published the first recipe for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. In 1922, another pioneer came up with a new process for producing peanut butter that made it taste better and last longer. In 1928, two trailblazers invented loaves of sliced bread, setting the stage for the ascension of the peanut butter and jelly sandwich to its full glory. According to my analysis, Taurus, you’re partway through your own process of generating a very practical marvel. I suspect you’re now at a phase equivalent to Chandler’s original recipe. Onward! Keep going! most demanding dream. I hope you will make an effort to understand yourself as your best teacher might understand you. I hope you will find out how to summon more faith in yourself—a faith not rooted in lazy wishes but in a rigorous self-assessment.

Now here’s my prediction: You will fulfill at least one of my hopes, and probably more.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The Polish pianist Ignacy Jan Paderewski once performed for England’s Queen Victoria. Since she possessed that bygone era’s equivalent of a backstage pass, she was able to converse with him after the show. “You’re a genius,” she told him, having been impressed with his artistry.

“Perhaps, Your Majesty,” Paderewski said.

“But before that I was a drudge.” He meant that he had labored long and hard before reaching the mastery the queen attributed to him. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you Libras are currently in an extended “drudge” phase of your own.

That’s a good thing! Take maximum advantage of this opportunity to slowly and surely improve your skills.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The ancient Greek poet Simonides was among the first of his profession to charge a fee for his services. He made money by composing verses on demand. On one occasion, he was asked to write a stirring tribute to the victor of a mule race. He declined, declaring that his sensibilities were too fine to create art for such a vulgar activity. In response, his potential patron dramatically boosted the proposed price. Soon thereafter, Simonides produced a rousing ode that included the phrase “wind-swift steeds.” I offer the poet as a role model for you in the coming weeks, Scorpio.

Be more flexible than usual about what you’ll do to get the reward you’d like.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Here’s the operative metaphor for you these days: You’re like a painter who has had a vision of an interesting work of art you could create—but who lacks some of the paint colors you would require to actualize this art. You may also need new types of brushes you haven’t used before. So here’s how I suggest you proceed: Be aggressive in tracking down the missing ingredients or tools that will enable you to accomplish your as-yet imaginary masterpiece.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Useful revelations and provocative epiphanies are headed your way.

But they probably won’t arrive sheathed in sweetness and light, accompanied by tinkling swells of celestial music. It’s more likely they’ll come barging in with a clatter, bringing bristly marvels and rough hope. In a related matter: At least one breakthrough is in your imminent future. But this blessing is more likely to resemble a wrestle in the mud than a dance on a mountaintop. None of this should be a problem, however! I suggest you enjoy the rugged but interesting fun.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): One of the saddest aspects of our lives as humans is the disparity between love and romance. Real love is hard work. It’s unselfish, unwavering and rooted in generous empathy. Romance, on the other hand, tends to be capricious and inconstant, often dependent on the fluctuations of mood and chemistry. Is there anything you could do about this crazy-making problem, Aquarius? Like could you maybe arrange for your romantic experiences to be

more thoroughly suffused with the primal power of unconditional love? I think this is a realistic request, especially in the coming weeks. You will have exceptional potential to bring more compassion and spiritual affection into your practice of intimacy.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to dream up new rituals. The traditional observances and ceremonies bequeathed to you by your family and culture may satisfy your need for comfort and nostalgia, but not your need for renewal and reinvention. Imagine celebrating homemade rites of passage designed not for who you once were but for the new person you’ve become. You may be delighted to discover how much power they provide you to shape your life’s long-term cycles. Ready to conjure up a new ritual right now? Take a piece of paper and write down two fears that inhibit your drive to create a totally interesting kind of success for yourself. Then burn that paper and those fears in the kitchen sink while chanting “I am a swashbuckling incinerator of fears!”

Aries (March 21-April 19): According to my assessment of the astrological omens, your duty right now is to be a brave observer and fair-minded intermediary and honest storyteller. Your people need you to help them do the right thing. They require your influence in order to make good decisions. So if you encounter lazy communication, dispel it with your clear and concise speech. If you find that foggy thinking has started to infect important discussions, inject your clear and concise insights.

Q&A What would you tell your college freshman self?

Hegel? Ain’t nobody got time for that! @EKKNAPPENBERGER/TWITTER

Change majors. Don’t kill yourself for a bachelor of science. Get a degree in English if you want (even if mom and dad will groan) because you’re going to grad school anyway and you might as well follow your passion.

I would tell my freshman self: Don’t pledge a fraternity.

It’s a waste of time, resources and mental attitude.

There is no such thing as the self, and the settler-colonialism that created it is the product of racism and freemarket capitalism. It must be abolished.

For the rest of my life I will have periodic nightmares about showing up for an exam for a course I cut all semester.
