I firmly believe the greatest gift you ever received did not
come packaged. It did not have a bow or a box. It did not have a
note attached. I firmly believe the greatest gift you ever received
came from a teacher—perhaps many—who poured love into you in the
form of education.

The Daily Cardinal may have 115 years under its belt as
UW-Madison's first independent student newspaper, but with a
redesigned paper and website, it's feeling younger than
ever.

Congratulations, incoming Badgers, and welcome to The Daily
Cardinal. From today forth, you should consider the Cardinal your
ultimate UW-Madison news source, social navigator and lecture
diversion.

Forget your New Year's resolution—it's time to gain a few pounds
and burn some cash. Yes, textbook-buying season has arrived. It
seems all the professors toiled over winter break to revise old
editions (change one sentence) just in time for publishers to give
new meaning to inflation.

The Daily Cardinal made the right decision in publishing a
graphic account of the Sept. 4 sexual assault.*

Political statements became fashionable and fashion statements
became political this April as the LGBT celebrated out and about\
month with a rainbow of ""gay? fine by me"" T-shirts. But though
the T-shirts intend to create a climate of acceptance on campus,
they send an implicit message that undermines the printed words. By
advertising the ""fine by me"" message, the T-shirts imply that
gays are somehow abnormal, or not inherently ""fine"" and rely on
heterosexuals to legitimize homosexuality.

On Monday, Feb. 21, 2005, The Daily Cardinal editorial board
issued a call to action. Because the scheduled date for the Mifflin
Street Block Party fell on the eve of finals, the board advised, It
is now up to the students who are most affected, those who live on
Mifflin Street, to take responsibility and get the city in line
with moving the party up a week to April 30.\ And so, the students
mobilized.

Springtime guarantees several things for State Street: The fruit
stand will migrate home with southern produce. The man in the
orange jumpsuit will no longer fear that his lips will freeze to
his piccolo. Sex Out Loud will promote a safe mating season. But
above all, State Street will host the return of the
evangelists.

So you think Associated Students of Madison is dysfunctional? It
is like a well-oiled machine in comparison to the clunky robot
known as Student Labor Action Coalition. Of course, well-oiled
machine\ in reference to ASM is akin to the beater you received on
your sixteenth birthday—rusty, but trusty.

At the height of Nixon's Watergate scandal in 1974, U.S. Sen.
Howard Baker, R-Tenn., voiced the taboo question: What did the
president know and when did he know it? Of the multiple parallels
between Bush's NSA scandal and Nixon's Watergate affair, brave and
honest leadership from Congress, as demonstrated by Baker, does not
make the list. The one exception is, of course, is Wisc. Senator
Russ Feingold. The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing March
31 on Feingold's call to censure the president for authorizing a
program of eavesdropping without warrants. At the hearing, former
Nixon White House Counsel John Dean testified that a call to
censure Nixon some 33 years ago would have been a godsend.\ Dean
advised senators to assert authority to curb the president's abuse
of power.

The two cases proceeded similarly in the beginning. In both
events, a 20-year-old student disappeared, last seen on a
surveillance video leaving a residence building. Each student
departed without a wallet, purse or proper attire for the weather.
Neither gave any indication of a planned destination.

he battleground for leadership in the cheese industry sets
Coasties against Sconnies in a contest of cash cows—literally. If
current trends continue, the title as No. 1 cheese producing state
will move to the greener pastures of California by 2008. With a
$20.6 billion Wisconsin dairy industry on the line, the economic
livelihood of dairyland depends on defending its title.

In 1884, the UW Board of Regents advised, ...The great state
University of Wisconsin should ever encourage that continual and
fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be
found.\ Ironically, although this quote appears on the cover of The
Daily Cardinal, most people no longer seek truth through
newspapers. Today, many truth-seekers ""sift and winnow"" via the
blogosphere.

He's a Rhodes scholar, a Harvard Law School graduate, an Oxford
man, a Badger alumnus and today he's a birthday boy (Happy 53rd,
Senator). But the question remains, will U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold be
a 2008 presidential candidate? Feingold seems poised to pursue the
Democratic endorsement, but his popularity is generally limited to
Wisconsin voters.

Two politicians believe university administrators should respond
to a 'higher calling' rather than a higher paycheck in serving the
University. State Reps. Robin Vos, R-Caledonia, and Stephen Nass,
R-Whitewater, have introduced two separate bills that suggest
capping state-funded administrative salaries.

At the Madison Greyhound station, riders frequently play
checkers as they wait in the depot. In lieu of checkers pieces,
white riders square themselves on the west side of the station,
while metaphorical black checkers follow suit, taking seats on the
east side.
