I wrote some interesting facts and a motto for all 51 states. For Virginia, I said the motto was "The Old Dominion," which was very arrogant of Virginians...

In years past, students wrote an e-mail to opt out, but this year the SAO required students to write a letter to remove the term bill charge. At the beginning of this semester, HoCos received an additional boost to their budget from the newly-created Student Life Fund—a joint venture between the UC and the College Dean’s Office. Under the fund, HoCos...
