While Gov. Scott Walker keeps Wisconsin progressives busy,
Washington Republicans have pulled another fast one on the nation.
They've repealed a four-year effort called ""Green the Capitol,""
all in the name of slashing budgets and, of course, asserting power
over the Democrats.

Nobody knows Madison better than Paul Soglin. As a student at
UW-Madison he helped lead the infamous Vietnam protests. He has
served as a city council member, worked in the private sector and
as a UW faculty member. Oh yeah, and he's already been the mayor.
Twice.

Let's get a show of hands: How many of you have chanted ""Kill the
bill"" or ""Scotty doesn't know"" at least once this week? Okay,
now how many of you know that one of our campus student orgs is
suing the university for discrimination, and the case is well on
its way to the supreme court?

Ah, Mifflin. For decades the area has enticed students with its low
rent, proximity to State Street and high concentration of house
parties. On a street that sports as many Badger flags and beer pong
tables as Mifflin does, it's understandable that students have
begun to feel like they own the place.

I usually make it a point to stray from New Year's resolutions.
What's the point of spending three weeks on a treadmill when my
self-discipline will run itself dry by February anyway? But for
2011 I made the decision to end this boycott and chose to make a
""life resolution."" Starting this year, I am going to eat more
real food.

On a campus that made such an uproar in the midst of the
university's connection to Nike, a company notorious for employing
workers in sweatshops, there's no doubt that many students were
celebrating when the UW bookstore announced they will be selling a
new socially conscious clothing line. But before you rush out and
drop some hard-earned cash on that brand new T-shirt, let's take a
step backward and figure out exactly what ""socially conscious""
clothing means.

Here's some advice for all the Badgers out there getting on a plane
to head home for Thanksgiving: Get ready to abandon your civil
rights at the security line. The Transportation Security
Administration has gone just a little bit too far this time by
implementing security measures that obviously infringe on our
Fourth Amendment rights.

Ann Coulter, the famous right-wing writer and commentator, is at it
again. The woman, who prides herself on not pretending to be fair
or balanced, has certainly enraged millions of Americans over the
years with her controversial opinions. And right now, she's
currently setting her sights on a target that is slightly closer to
home: the 18 to 26-year-old demographic.

Remember the countless hours you spent in the basement as a child
playing ""Mortal Kombat,"" ""GoldenEye 007"" and in your later
years the ""Call of Duty"" series? Nearly every student in our
generation has experience with at least one of these, but a new
California law seeks to stop minors from accessing these violent
games.

Though you wouldn't know it from the media coverage of this
election, there is more at stake tomorrow than seats in government
office. Hitting closer to home, a few local referenda deserve
attention before heading to the polls tomorrow. Though only two
questions will appear on the ballot in Madison, they hit on key
issues that should resonate with many college students.

As proud as I was to show my support for victims of bullying by
wearing purple last Wednesday at Library Mall, I was quickly
reminded later that day that members of the LGBT community are not
the only victims who are regularly attacked because of their
identity. In fact, some gay rights supporters and many other
activists with liberal leaning perspectives are actually to blame
for at least a portion of the disrespect that has recently come to
the forefront of our society.

Over the past decade, UW-Madison has focused much of its time and
resources on recruiting minority students to campus. Their
sometimes misguided efforts, the UW photoshopped pamphlet being a
classic example, are undoubtedly well-intentioned, but they often
ignore a more serious issue facing our campus: a persistent and
substantial achievement gap between minority students and the rest
of the student population.

Every year, thousands of Madison students grab a couple of friends
and enter the manic search for a cheap, somewhat habitable place to
live for the next school year. Freshmen are especially vulnerable
in this process, making roommates of people they've only known for
a few months after being pressured to sign a lease early by peers
without enough knowledge about the rental process.

Last Thursday, the Dane County Board of Supervisors struck down a
motion to create a citizen's advisory panel on primate testing at
UW-Madison, and rightly so. The duties of the panel were to include
analyzing and investigating the ethics behind primate testing in
hopes of educating the public. And while it is certainly a topic of
great public interest that is worthy of deep debate, the board has
no power over the university. Discussing primate testing in a forum
that has no authority to affect change is simply a waste of
taxpayer dollars and the county legislature's time.

The military's longstanding ""Don't ask, don't tell"" policy came
one step closer to becoming a thing of the past last week when a
federal judge ruled the policy unconstitutional. First enacted
under the Clinton administration, the rule allows gay men and women
to enlist, but only if they remain closeted and don't engage in
homosexual acts during their service.

Nine years after 9/11 changed America forever, we still can't seem
to agree on whether the changes have been for the better or the
worse. Many argue we're safer today, though others claim the
Patriot Act is unconstitutional. Anti-war protesters clash with
those who claim the wars were necessary, and millions are still
frightened enough to protest against the New York City
""mosque.""

Lawyer Bill Marler shared some of his two decades of experience
prosecuting cases of food-borne illness Monday night at Memorial
Union.

Former Muslim and feminist speaker Ayaan Hirsi Ali gave a
controversial lecture at the Memorial Union Tuesday night as part
of the Distinguished Lecture Series.
