With winter break over, quasi-depressed college students everywhere can find solace in at least one thing-thinking about Spring Break. The typical Spring Break includes drunken clubbing, MTV cameras and perhaps an unwanted infection or two.
Imagine this: It's not yet dawn on Lake Mendota and you have been sitting in a boat, soaked to the bone, for more than an hour and a half. The temperature is a brisk 40 degrees-not including the wind chill factor--which is slapping across your face with the force of a paddle in the water. After two hours, you are finally finished and the only thing you want to do is sit where it's warm and shower before class.
In any given circumstance, anything that can go wrong will go wrong. This is especially true over long periods of time or distance, such as 26.2 miles or two hours 35 minutes and 59 seconds.

The men's crew team here at UW is undergoing many changes. After being one of the most dominant crew teams in the nation for nearly 130 years, ranking among schools like Yale and Harvard, Head Coach Chris Clark and his team have a new set of challenges to face in the 2004-'05 season.
Leif Bergquist's back hurts. Maybe that's because he's been sitting in class for two hours straight, the back of an unyielding, plastic desk digging into his spine. Or maybe it's because the hour-long ergometer workout he did in crew practice the evening before is catching up with him. For Leif, it's difficult to tell anymore.

The men's crew team kicked off their season this past weekend in Boston at the Head of the Charles. The Badgers finished fifth in the Championship Fours and 19th in the Championship Eights.
With this self-proclamation in the back of his head, nine-year Wisconsin crew Head Coach Chris Clark leads his crew to Boston to compete in the annual Head of the Charles Regatta this weekend. The men, who last year finished seventh nationally in the USRowing Collegiate Men's Varsity Eight Poll, row to the regatta with top-ten finishes in last October's race-coming in 10th in the Men's Varsity Eight and ninth in the Men's Collegiate Four.
Women believe many stereotypes about men. They believe we crave violence, sex, glamour and pretty women to gaze upon. And my approach to these caricatures of masculinity has always been \don't rock the boat."" But at a certain point, excess is just excess and even the horniest, most destructive guy has to admit that things have gone too far. I recently reached that point, and that point is ""Perfect 10 Model Boxing.""

Republican candidate for U.S. Senate Tim Michels remarked in a recent interview with The Daily Cardinal that his opponent's, Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., $8 million campaign war chest is a fitting example of how campaign finance reform efforts have failed.

Bascom Hall is undergoing a face-lift, starting with its pillars that have been temporarily replaced with steel girders.
Matt Friedberger is a pleasure to talk to. Always joking, occasionally self-deprecating, it's his warmth that comes through over the phone. And it's this goofy friendliness that draws people to his band's music. The Fiery Furnaces are one of the most experimental bands recording today, but their songs emphasize playfulness over art. Their last album, Blueberry Boat, was the surprise critical smash of the summer.
We, at The Daily Cardinal Arts Desk, realize that adjusting to any new experience is hard.
