A brave soul stands in front of the class, waiting for his time to shine. Once the murmuring dies down, he jumps into an energetic, well-rehearsed pitch for his volunteer group, spewing examples of adventures to be had and sights to be seen. He passes out a collection of colored sheets that reiterate his point, leaves and finally lecture can begin.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Points off of turnovers have been a key cog in
Wisconsin's formula for success this season. But in Saturday's
31-13 shellacking at the hands of Ohio State, it was their
bane.

A UW Hospital physician completed a nationwide study that will
help develop a treatment likely to change the way certain types of
vision loss are treated, UW Health officials announced Monday.

regular season game, the Badgers were looking to make a statement.

It seems so simple. Shoot a basketball from a line 15 feet away
from a hoop suspended 10 feet above the floor. To make things
easier, nobody is guarding you.

There is a new chancellor in Bascom Hall, a new mayor doing
right by the city and a new governor in the Capital. I could talk
about what hasn't changed, but I have only 500 words to talk about
my college years and I'd prefer not to waste them on complaints
about the past or fears about the future. Good things do happen on
this campus, and in this city and around this state, but they get
drowned in the din of never-ending fights for innumerable causes.
The victories were sometimes transitory, but some have had
far-reaching effects.

A bill that would potentially restrict women's access to a full
range of medical options made its way through the House and Senate,
all the way to Gov. Doyle's desk, with barely a whisper from
anyone. The \conscience clause"" vetoed by Doyle on Thursday was
last mentioned by the local media in October. It's disturbing that
a piece of legislation with such potentially far-reaching
consequences was ignored during most of its passage.

From new issues with the State Street Redesign Project to a
blossoming of smoking bans, there are things people should be
tracking.

Michelle Witmer, daughter of a New Berlin family, has died in
the fighting in Iraq, and her parents are appealing to keep their
other girls from returning to a combat zone. Their plea is likely
to be granted. One who had been serving in the same unit will stay
home, since her tour of duty was nearing an end, but the other
would, under ordinary circumstances, be returning to duty.

The lies of a confused young woman should not be allowed to lead
to a backslide toward police disbelief of victims. The Madison
Police Department handled a high profile and high stress situation
admirably well, backing Audrey Seiler until her story was proven
false by evidence. Paired with the higher profile afforded to
recent reported sexual assaults, it is a hopeful sign to those who
have come to question police support of female victims. Acting
Madison Police Chief Noble Wray appears to be leaps and bounds
ahead of just-retired Chief Richard Williams.

Between the Teaching Assistants' Association's fight to continue
health care coverage and Gov. Jim Doyle's conflicts with the Food
and Drug Administration over prescription drugs, health care and
insurance should be high in the minds of those watching local
events. Even at the national level, Presidential candidate Sen.
John Kerry, D-Mass., is talking about nationalized health care and
President Bush's prescription drug program is flailing around
rather ineffectually. Health care is big news and big money, but as
the system exists now it just isn't enough.

Spring break is over and as students filter back for the second
half of the semester, State Street is also entering another stage
of its entertainment district evolution as the Overture Center
enters Phase II of its construction. This time it's two restaurants
that are facing their final days as March draws to a close.

I'm ashamed to be a citizen of Wisconsin right now.

Not all athletes are violent. In fact, most aren't, but a select
group of athletes, especially college players, seem to be on a
mission to make it appear that playing sports turns men into
brutes. There have been a string of incidents here on campus where
the violence has turned against women, with little reaction from
the athletic department other than brief, slap-on-the-wrist
suspensions.

A car-sharing service, Community Car, will offer students who
bus, bike, walk or carpool to campus the opportunity to reserve a
car from the Helen C. White parking ramp starting March 2.

It's not that the razing of Ogg Hall will be a great
architectural loss, and the demolition of the First Wisconsin Bank
Building probably won't face much protest, but that there might be
both student and organization housing issues before they're
replaced. The East Campus Plan seems to be moving forward, though
not in the right order.

They're not getting what they wanted, but the striking Tyson
workers are conceding defeat. By a vote of 293-70, they have
accepted the concessions demanded by Tyson, reducing their own
benefits and those of future workers in order to preserve the union
itself in the face of an indifferent corporation.

Today's vote in the state Assembly will determine whether or not
concealed weapons become a potential danger to the citizens and law
enforcement of Wisconsin.
