As students prepare for the dreaded exam week, they will inevitably turn to reliable substances to stay awake for extended periods of time. While most will battle the late nights of studying by consuming obscene amounts of coffee and caffeinated soda or by maintaining a consistent sugar buzz, others will turn to the more dangerous options of prescription drugs such as Ritalin and Adderall.

In the heart of downtown Madison, the opinion of students seems to matter the least, even though they dominate the population. Against the approval of much of Madison's student population, high-rise residences are increasing within the downtown area.

This week's primary elections confirmed the increasing disengagement between youth voters and local government across the city of Madison. Growing apathy among students continues to squelch the voter participation necessary to generate the most beneficial political atmosphere. However, little is being done to reverse this unfortunate trend.
What began as an initiative to save tax dollars for prisons has become a potentially major headache for UW students. Due to the success of prisons that do not purchase foods together in bulk, Gov. Doyle felt that implementing a similar plan in the UW System would allow for the same control and a decreased budget. However, the Wisconsin Union does not function on state tax dollars and receives no revenue from food and retail operations but instead receives contributions from alumni to maintain its facilities and programs. Therefore, changing vendors at the Union as Doyle has proposed would save absolutely no money for the state.
James Burgess, former publisher of the Wisconsin State Journal, has contributed $1 million to the UW-Madison School of Journalism in efforts to raise integrity and ethics among future journalists who attend this school. Increasing the amount of courses devoted to ethics within the Journalism School will bring to light the importance of responsible writing and the obligation of truth journalists owe to society.
A couple of Mormon missionaries I ran into recently prompted me to question whether we truly are free to choose our own religion. Recently, I was approached by two young men who, while admirable in their appearance, were anything but with their intentions. Devoted Mormon followers, their mission was to bombard me with a number of benefits associated with the Mormon religion in the hopes that I, too, would join in their faith.

This year, the scheduled date for Mifflin is Saturday, May 7, the day before finals week begins.

Sexual harassment, enticement and exposure have been documented for a number of years with one chilling story after another. Many times, however, the perpetrators of such behavior have flaunted a criminal background or social perception which made their actions more expected of them. The latest examples of such behavior have instead been acted out by men who have previously been described as role models and community leaders, making the acts less predictable and perhaps more horrifying.
State lawmakers are currently attempting to ban the UW from being able to offer forms of birth control to students after they have provided the service for many years. Although the issue of family planning is open to debate, it is unfortunate that this subject has again entered the spotlight. Rep. Daniel LeMahieu, R-Oostburg, who has initiated the controversial debate, most recently said he was outraged by ads placed in both student newspapers. The ads advocated students acquiring an advance on emergency contraceptives before leaving town for spring break.
We've all been there, struggling during late nights of studying just to keep our eyelids from drooping. Many of us try to manipulate our exhaustion by playing some fast-paced music in the background, splashing our faces with cold water or downing a quick soda or cup of coffee.
The news that UW-Madison researchers are testing tasers on pigs to examine their effectiveness has not been taken lightly. However, much of the disdain the news of these tests has caused can be attributed to the misconceptions surrounding ethical and procedural components of animal testing.
