...marinated white anchovy sandwiches ($8). Owner Tom Colicchio (Craft and Gramercy Tavern) also has an outpost on a Tribeca street corner and even caters to Hampton Jitney passengers. But don't be fooled by these eateries' casual façades and low prices. Fine ingredients and culinary methods can transfer from ritzy kitchens to patches of grass...
...Swisher first presented the UVA Student Council with the petition to persuade them to pass a resolution and present it to the Dean and President of the University. Despite tremendous support from both students and faculty, the petition was ultimately unsuccessful in persuading the UVA administration to alter its transfer policy. “The Student Council passed the resolution, but the Dean and President still stuck with their original decision,” Swisher said.

These students are not the property of their original universities, to be shipped away on the next flight back to New Orleans; rather, they are important members of our community. Allowing them to apply to transfer will benefit everyone. After all, the original agreement to take these students was not made to help Tulane and Loyola, it was made to help the students themselves. We shouldn’t turn our backs on them now that New Orleans...
