One University of Wisconsin-Madison student scheduled classes with absolutely no trouble or stress Monday morning.
After meeting with Student Services Finance Committee Chair Sarah Neibart last Wednesday, UW-Madison Chancellor David Ward revised his decision on where some student segregated fees could be spent next fiscal year.
Speakers at a UW-Madison journalism ethics conference Friday advocated for increased transparency in reporting to avoid the dangers of partisan news.
In commemoration of World AIDS Day, Bob Bowers, founder of the HIVictorious program, spoke to promote education and raise awareness of HIV/AIDS throughout the state of Wisconsin Wednesday.
Aldo Leopold's ""A Sand County Almanac"" seems to pride itself in being unapologetically divisive. Leopold wrote, ""A thing is right when it tends to preserve integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise."" This is as bold a statement now as it was back then, even after decades of environmentalism and green consciousness.
Perhaps the whole musical experience can be summed up in one scene from the film ""High Fidelity."" Championship Vinyl owner Rob Gordon is violently reorganizing his personal music collection. Walls and walls of old vinyl records are scattered haphazardly across the floors, leaving nowhere to walk between the stacks of records and Rob's bitter nostalgia. Rob is organizing the records autobiographically, picking up his memories and slotting them back in place.
Oskar Blues Brewery's American pale ale had us guessing all sorts of wrong. Dale's Pale Ale, as it's known, hales from Lyon, Colorado. It comes in a can, draped in red, white and blue with hint of Buffalo Bill Cody on the label. We always knew we weren't supposed to judge a book by its cover, lest we be humiliated, but we couldn't help ourselves; Dale's Pale Ale looked like a great American train wreck. All those preconceived notions changed upon first pour.

Regardless of the outcome of tomorrow's Dane County Board of Supervisors' election, District 5 representation will be greatly improved. However, we must raise a voice in opposition to the Editorial Board's endorsement of Democratic candidate Analiese Eicher. Eicher, who we are sure would make the Dane County seat more visible on campus and greatly improve student outreach, is regrettably ill-prepared for the job of District 5 representative.
Editor's Note: The original story was posted Wednesday night, this version has since been changed.
There's an old Groucho Marx joke about expectations. ""I've had a perfectly wonderful evening,"" Marx said, raising his brow. ""But this wasn't it."" At first glance, we had every hope in the world for New Glarus' Moon Man No Coast Pale Ale. The name is just weird enough to create curiosity. It even pulls at our heartstrings by making a beer that we as Midwesterners can identify with, sandwiched between New Glarus' stronger seasonal offerings. Unfortunately for New Glarus, Moon Man never finds its own complex identity.
There are myriad forms of laughter. Laughter can indicate unbridled joy, like the laughter friends share, the kind that is paired with misplaced idioms or flatulence or whatever. Diametrically, laughter can also be the first sign of a mind spiraling downward; a laughter that indicates outward signs of delirium tremens and an inability to cope with our particular reality. Liars fall into the latter category with a laughter full of hysterical realism.
O'So Brewing Company's Night Train is incredibly candid. The minimalist label outlines the tastes to come, guiding your palate with mainstay descriptors like ""complex"" and ""bold"" as well as more esoteric ones like ""chewy"" and ""judicious."" What kind of experience do you get from Night Train? A pleasant surprise, you get more than what's advertised.
In 1998, President Bill Clinton tried to sidestep responsibility for his affair by parrying with words. In defense of his character in front of the grand jury, Clinton smugly used the infamous line ""it depends on what your definition of ‘is,' is."" Clinton was always known for his slick demeanor, and during the Monica Lewinsky trials he did not disappoint.
Gov. Jim Doyle is really taking advantage of his lame duck status. In a move rank with politics, Doyle vetoed a bill, allowing him to retain appointment privilege of Department of Natural Resources secretaries. Subsequently, the Republican bloc handily defeated the veto effort.
The late Studs Terkel, an American author, had the amazing ability to extract histories from people. He acted as a conduit for rich history to flow through, unabated by conventional media filters. Through Terkel we saw a different America, one overflowing with humility, honesty, misery and unbridled joy. It was an America that we all could identify with. The newest exhibit at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, ""Apple Pie: Symbols of Americana,"" engages this same America largely via the Midwest.
When I first moved to Madison four years ago, all the upperclassmen I knew would consistently tell me that State Street just wasn't what it used to be when they were freshmen. The UW alums I've met all say the same thing. State Street just isn't the same.
Late last week, scientists at CERN announced they would be turning the Large Hadron Collider back on. The world's largest physics experiment broke down shortly after its first test runs in 2008 and has only been tested once since then. Unfortunately, the LHC will operate at half power for the next two years before being turned off yet again for another year's worth of repairs.
As the cliché goes, the whole is often more than the sum of its parts. We as humans are not our biochemistry, a maze of neurons or our limbs. In art, the gestalt is the ultimate goal, the pinnacle of artistic vision. Pit Er Pat's latest release sits at the opposite end of the spectrum. At times truly endearing and mature, and at others hypnotically tiresome, The Flexible Entertainer fails to appropriately coagulate into any sort of discernable whole.
The past year has not been easy on President Obama. I've often wondered why he wanted the job in the first place, and how he can carry himself with such poise despite being mired in so many promises that he cannot hope to fulfill during his presidency. During the Copenhagen climate talks, President Obama made another lofty promise, one meant to inspire other countries to rise up to the challenge of our changing global environment. With or without the approval of the Senate, Obama made a verbal agreement that the U.S. would drop carbon emissions 17 percent below what they were in 2005 by the end of this decade, something that will be difficult to do without imposing a radical gradient that is steep enough to change the American lifestyle. The climate talks came and went, and Obama was essentially left with the burden of leading us into a more environmentally friendly decade.
