In 1895, Professor Wilhelm Roentgen discovered a strange new type of radiation. After some experimentation, he had his wife put her hand between a cathode ray tube and a piece of radiation-sensitive paper, and found that he could readily see the shadow of her wedding ring and of the bones in her hand. He called the mysterious radiation an X-ray, from the mathematical use of X to stand for an unknown, and so began the science of medical imaging.
While the anthrax scare hits Americans, another threat of bioterrorism may have the potential of attacking America as well.
In the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks and the subsequent start of the war effort being waged, emotions have been high on college campuses. Self-appointed \progressive peace coalitions"" have spoken out against the U.S. campaign, decrying it as an act of aggression against the weak. This all presupposes an idea: that war is inherently unprogressive. To better understand the state the world is in, we must re-examine some ideas, and, from a liberal perspective, ask the question: Is war inherently unprogressive and is peace always the right choice?
Between 60,000 and 70,000 goblins, ghosts and ghouls, fur traders in canoes, human beer kegs, walking soup cans and spandex-legged superheroes roamed the streets of downtown Madison to celebrate Halloween Saturday.
The wide-open spaces of an American highway, the spot usually reserved for announcing the distance to the nearest Burger King, are now adorned with shimmering stars and stripes and a clich?? patriotic slogan.

In 1881, America's 20th president, James Garfield, was shot and killed, famous cubist artist Pablo Picasso was born and construction of the Washburn Observatory of UW-Madison was completed.

In a bridge between the east and west Towers residence halls on State Street lies an office. It buzzes with people working hard to produce quality programming for WSUM, Madison Student Radio. Some UW-Madison students may find it surprising that their campus does, in fact, have an operating music station, because for several years it has been without a radio signal and has relied solely on Internet broadcasting from the station's Web site, http://www.wsum.wisc.edu . Over the four years that WSUM has been in existence, there has been a continuing struggle to implement radio broadcasting, although a license was given to the station by the Federal Communications Commission to allow for broadcast.
