Faculty and staff at UW-Madison can apply for $500 grants to spread awareness of the Wisconsin Idea, which aims to “improve people’s lives beyond the classroom,” Vice Chancellor for University Relations Vince Sweeney said in a UW-Madison release Thursday.
Testimony on food disparity and debate on Madison’s Public Market project triggered a broader discussion regarding existing citywide inequalities at Tuesday’s Common Council meeting.
I’m sure you all have your guilty pleasures—those delightful bits of enjoyment you try to eradicate from your search histories in attempts to salvage your credibility—and I am no exception. Whether you enjoy the occasional supernatural romance or find some sort of bizarre pleasure in watching bourgeois housewives pull each others’ hair, these underrated—or maybe properly rated—TV trifles are both the joy and the bane of our existence. Here are some of my current favorite guilty pleasures. I won’t judge you if you don’t judge me.
Student organization Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment hosted two feminist bloggers Wednesday to discuss sexual assault prevention as part of its sexual assault forum.
A tough weekend went from bad to worse for the Wisconsin men’s hockey team (1-2-1 WCHA, 1-4-1 overall) Saturday night as the team was swept by Colorado College and then lost their leading scorer, junior forward Mark Zengerle, to a broken finger.
This Sunday is the tenth anniversary of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. It is a day that shaped the United State for the next decade and beyond. Our government responded with wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as controversial homeland security measures like the Patriot Act. Many citizens responded to the attacks by uniting with a strong sense of patriotism and pride .
It's Sunday as I'm writing this and like usual it will be until midnight. But come midnight, Cinderella won't be the only girl bawling her eyes out because her dreams are suddenly shattered. I too will be crying—crying over the painful loss of my sanity (yet again) because spring break is over. I have only nine hours and fifty-seven minutes until I arrive at my romantic poetry class two minutes late. I've become that perpetually-slightly-late kid, but what can you expect from a person taking their final undergraduate classes? Well, you can assume that after procrastinating on writing this column for the entirety of break I'm doing so in a laundromat. Procrastination… like finally washing the seven loads of dirty clothing I've kept stockpiled in my closet for about a month—bet the rental company loved showing that. Serves them right for sending me an email and calling and leaving a voicemail I will never listen to each time they schedule a showing.
As thousands of protestors flooded campus on their way to the Capitol, some UW-Madison student groups tried to make sense of the proposed Budget Repair Bill for students.
The way I see it, my life didn't start when my newly born alveoli recoiled from the putrid air of humanity, but rather once I entered the cardboard cutout Candyland of the Scholastic Book Fair. Prior to then I was only a strikingly lifelike child drone with an active interest in buttery noodles.
Andrew Statz, the city of Madison's first fiscal efficiency auditor, will leave his position to take over a similar job with the school district, according to Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz's blog.
Every once in awhile the Sundance Film Festival will send us Badgers a special cinematic treat. Madison is lucky enough to have a Sundance Cinema located at Hilldale Mall, which means the festival will usually give us a special screening of one of the festival's highlights. This year's film is none other than the winner of the festival's U.S. Dramatic Competition Grand Jury Prize, ""Like Crazy"". Director Drake Doremus' new film is full of fresh talent and it one of the most honest portrayals of young love in recent memory.
Ice cream? Nah. Organize my room? Yeah, right. 30-minute rant to some loving family member? They're all asleep by nine. And at midnight, who wants to try and use any of these productive and un-self-destructive behaviors for stress-release? Not I. It had been one of those shitty study days and the only feasible remedy was a delicious pint of brew—or so I thought.
Pay $10 for Freakfest? When I only want to visit my bartending friend who works at ______? Sorry you good boys and girls, I'm bordering on ""Savers only"" and ""raid parents' house for things I can use"" broke. Plus, I have principles and ""attempt to get in sans being forced to lay down cold, hard cash"" ranks in the top five. Look, I was only on State Street's horse-shit-and-puke-plastered pavement for all of two blocks in transit to a party después de drinks at the aforementioned bar, so at least give me the chance to tell you about my adventure.
Like a true Wisconsinite, I'm a fanatic for cheese. This encompasses deep-fried varieties as well. Thankfully the Old Fashioned is here to indulge my artery-clogging gluttony with the best cheese curds in town.
Lets hear a great big hip-hip-hooray for our good friend Mr. Jim ""The Mad Mechanic"" Schmidt as it's his 30th birthday! You may recognize this picture from the news since on this specific day only he transforms into a highly dangerous and well-known criminal as soon as he grabs that dusty box on the top shelf, whips the packing peanuts and moth balls on the floor and dons that demonic welding mask even Beelzebub would run away from!
When crossing State Street, it's generally a good idea to look both ways before stepping off the curb. This precaution holds true not only for buses, taxis and delivery trucks rumbling from Lake Street to the Capitol, but also for all of the bicyclists weaving between vehicles. Including the speed-hungry bike messengers and delivery riders who expertly maneuver around all obstacles.
There is a lot of talk about connection and unity in John Burnside's ""The Glister,"" but ultimately the plethora of quasi-intriguing themes are never fully developed, leaving the reader with too many superfluous passages, unoriginal plot elements, linguistic nuances and an overall sense of vagueness as the author becomes engrossed in his own manipulation of language, neglecting clarity along the way.
With the conference season only a week away, the No. 38 Wisconsin men's tennis team will have one last chance this Sunday to sharpen their skills as they host No. 70 Illinois State and Western Illinois.
It seems like every year around February or March people make the claim that it's the worst time of year. I've heard everything: burnout from school, the not-quite-winter-but-not-quite-spring weather, winter sports winding down, and even that they just hate Valentine's Day with a fiery passion. I, however, love this time of year for one simple reason: shitty movies. Yes, this time of year is perfect for studios to pump out their corny formula comedies or awful book adaptations for audiences who don't know any better. I'm a bit of a film buff myself, and a little research produced some quite surprising news. It appears that UW-Madison itself has been an inspiration for many of these subpar films that come out this time of year. I included titles and summaries from nine of the best ones below:
