Months after closing its doors, the new owners of Club
Majestic—Matt Gerding, Scott Leslie and Bryan Ellefson—announced a
new title and outlook for the music venue. The rechristened
""Majestic Theater,"" aims to provide community events and avoid
the violence and bar fights that precipitated the venue's closing
last fall.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court agreed to hear a price-fixing
lawsuit that has been brewing in lower courts since March 2004.
Filed by two former UW-Madison students, the lawsuit asks the court
to eliminate the ban on drink specials and create a class of
persons eligible for damages.

Should College of Engineering students pay higher tuition than
other undergraduates? If Engineering Dean Paul Peercy has his way,
that would be the case.

Once again the Madison City Council has decided to look for a
solution to a problem that does not exist.

In early March, the Recording Industry Association of America
launched a new ""deterrence program"" to discourage illegal file
sharing on college campuses. In response, UW-Madison officials
deterred the program itself, refusing to hunt down and turn in the
offending IP address users in campus networks. We support the
university's decision, and hope the RIAA recognizes its folly in
pressuring UW-Madison officials to infringe on students' privacy
with pre-litigation letters.

Green is the color of Ireland, environmentalism and Islam. If
new legislation passes, it will also be the color of certain sex
criminals in Wisconsin—or at least their license plates.

Eli Judge deserves to be the next alder from District 8. Judge
will bring a rational voice to the Madison City Council and will be
responsive to needs of UW-Madison students who make up the majority
of the district.

Madison residents will have the opportunity to elect a mayor on
April 3, 2007. While incumbent Mayor Dave Cieslewicz and Ray Allen
are both admirable candidates, we feel the city and UW-Madison's
votes should go to Cieslewicz.

One of the greatest and most irritating ironies of collegiate
life is that students are simultaneously lauded as the bright hope
for the future by teachers, politicians and relatives while being
treated as the lowest common denominator by a majority of the
world's marketers and sloganeers.

Merriam-Webster's dictionary defines a judge as ""a public
official authorized to decide questions brought before a court.""
Judges do this by exercising their judgment. How do we determine
their judgment? Their record.

After the recent disclosure of potential worker exploitation in
El Salvador regarding UW contracted sports giant Adidas, university
officials must place worker's rights high on their list of
priorities. However, by harassing Chancellor John Wiley an hour
after he announced the initiation of his own investigation, the
Student Labor Action Coalition only demonstrated that protest is
not always warranted.

For most Badger basketball fans, Sunday's loss meant trouble for
their office pool brackets. But losing a few dollars in an office
pool might be the least of sports fanatics' worries, since any form
of unlicensed gambling is technically illegal.

The Democrat-controlled state Senate will soon consider a bill
to increase Wisconsin's minimum wage in September from $6.50 to
$7.25 per hour, as well as index the minimum wage to inflation.
Supporters claim the bill would directly benefit about 100,000
workers—mostly adult women.

The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, the body that controls
UW-Madison's lucrative stem cell technology patents, has decided to
play nice. Criticized for its high licensing fees even to other
universities, the nation's leading stem cell technology producer
will now offer lower fees for universities and other non-profit
research organizations.

When thousands of people from all walks of life—students,
parents, teachers and even soldiers—gather at the Pentagon this
weekend to demand change, the Iraq War will continue.

Thanks to legislation fronted by state Senate Majority Leader
Judy Robson, D-Beloit, state hospitals may be one step closer to
providing an important service—the morning-after pill.

The UW Roman Catholic Foundation exhaled a long sigh of relief
last Thursday when U.S. District Judge John Shabaz ruled that
UWRCF's funding woes could end with a simple change in board
membership.
(03/08/07 6:00am)
Last fall an audit found employers in the Madison area involved
with UW-Madison's work-study program owed the school a combined
total of $150,000 in unpaid debts due to an accounting glitch that
underbilled many of the participating organizations.

The large endeavor taken on by The Daily Cardinal to explore
campus crime and safety had many goals in mind. We wanted to
acknowledge the crime problem on campus, highlight current efforts
to keep students safe and, perhaps most importantly, suggest what
students and campus officials can do in the future to ensure
students' safety.
