and a panel of administrators and students will address a number of issues
related to the state
budget Friday, Feb. 11, at 1 p.m. in the Pavilion XI "Back Room" in Newcomb

Students and U.Va.," has
been organized by students.
     In addition to Casteen, panelists will include:  Colette Capone, vice

of admissions.
     Student panelists will be Anne Bailey, Student Council president; Damion

students to comprehend fully where the money comes from and where it goes,"
she said.
