Tragedy struck three friends visiting UW-Madison Junior Lance
Davies Saturday night, after the three boys from the University of
Minnesota mistakenly assumed The Red Shed is a bar where one can
have a decent time. Davies and his friends Mark Peters, Kale
Donahue and Jack Foster were playing beer pong and pre-gaming at
Davie's apartment at approximately 10:45 p.m. when Davies received
a call from his girlfriend Sammy Jones.

On Sept. 22, Rutgers student Tyler Clementi committed suicide three
days after Dharun Ravi, his roommate, secretly streamed video of
Clementi during an intimate encounter with his male partner.
Unfortunately, this story of cyber bullying is nothing new; it is
yet another saddening example of the tragic consequences of
intolerance and disrespect.

With its loud playing, fun spirit and unmatchable style, the UW
Marching Band is a staple of the UW-Madison's campus. You would be
hard pressed to find anyone, even a freshman, who hasn't heard the
band play. Yet an entirely separate world of marching music exists
outside of the university setting, one that very few people have
heard of: Drum corps. As much a physical sport as an arts activity,
marching music's ""major league"" is an intense, highly demanding
activity that explores a new frontier of the arts. I experienced
this hidden marching world when I saw the Drum Corps International
Championships in Indianapolis this past August.

Okay, so maybe it's just me, but for my entire college career I
have struggled with paying attention in lecture. Perhaps it is the
packed room, the over-crowdedness of people and the claustrophobia
that does it. Or possibly it's the professor with the monotone
voice and the dim lighting. Whatever it is, I sure as hell find it
difficult to stay focused. I'm even prescribed Adderall and that
shit doesn't help me!

In two days, students will be filing into East Campus Mall and
taking the elevator up to the Bursar's office to hand over a nice
big check to the university. Truthfully, it is a fair trade. The
tuition we pay to the university helps fund our education, student
organizations and everything from free movies at Memorial Union to
SAFECab after a long night. But with tuition increasing every year,
and plans for future increases, it is becoming tougher to give away
that check.

Sarah Polley has a nice chat with her Frankendaughter: While it
exudes a well constructed creepy aura, ""Splice's"" targets for
criticism prevent it from gaining any steam.

Five years ago she might have had a Monday morning to herself.
Maybe she could pick up some groceries, balance her checkbook or
set up a lunch trading gossip with a classmate. But nowadays, Ellen
Campesinos! can't even make a trip to the post office without her
phone ringing.

I like everything about Facebook. I like the ever-changing
layout and the inevitable groups decrying every miniscule change. I
like the creepiness it can cause, including one particular instance
in College Library when a girl walked up to a rather seedy-looking
guy and demanded to know why he was looking at her profile. I even
like the awfulness of Facebook Chat, and how there is no single
browser that can support its endless bugs. But the thing I like the
most about Facebook is liking. When Facebook introduced that little
""like"" button, I wish I could have liked it. Who knew that by the
time that little button was done growing, I would be able to like a
page devoted to the like button, essentially fulfilling my
wishes?

Finally, I have found a way to incorporate one of my most
passionate, enduring opinions into a legitimate opinion

If there's one thing I can't stand in this world, it's the
completely misleading ""deals"" and ""Savings!"" from all sorts of
companies and organizations hoping to dupe us all into literally
buying into their scams. It seems like every amazing offer these
days has some sort of catch, twist or horrific money-ejaculating
pitfall attached that sours the deal in the end. Luckily, my
hilarious, prize-winning column* this week will not disappoint. I'm
bound and determined to point out all the tips and tricks to help
college students catch when companies aren't being completely
honest and up front with you.**

The last three times Wisconsin was in this position, 60 minutes
was not sufficient to decide a winner.Saturday night, it was just
enough. The Wisconsin Badgers, for the first time since 2006, are
headed back to the Frozen Four courtesy of a 5-3 win over
conference rival St. Cloud in the Western Regional Final. There
were 7,182 on hand at the Xcel Energy Center to witness the Huskies
(15-9-4 WCHA, 24-14-5 overall) twice pull themselves within a goal
in the third period before the Badgers (17-8-3, 27-10-4) finally
held on to secure their spot in Detroit. ""It feels incredible,""
senior forward and captain Blake Geoffrion said. ""I know a lot of
seniors have worked since our freshman year coming in, coming in
after a championship team and seeing how those guys work and how
hard they work, so for us the opportunity to possibly go to the
national championship game, it's an incredible feeling right now.
Job's not done yet though.""

This is a tough question for me to ask, but I am very
concerned my boyfriend is cheating on me. He is always busy lately,
and when we do hang out, he always seems distracted or angry...I
don't have any real evidence that he's cheating, but I just am
concerned...what should I do?

Eloquence in print isn't too hard. It's a medium that, through
the magic and archaic technology of Gutenberg, allows me to spend
hours debating between using ""brutish"" or ""bestial"" before
anyone ever reads my words. After being quoted in our university's
other newspaper, I was reminded that I'm not quite as eloquent
live. I must admit I sounded like Sarah Palin.

On my one-woman march to educate every single living person
about the greatest things books contain, I was enlightened by a
friend who told me she ""didn't have the time, y'know, to sit and
read stuff.""

I'm a 19 year-old straight guy who really likes getting a
good spanking. The problem is, I can't find any women who would
actually like to spank me... Do you have any suggestions about
where or how to meet women who could be into spanking young men on
campus?

Writer's block: It's like your brain is taking a poo that's just
a tad too big for your cranium, minus the blinding, searing
physical pain. We've all felt mentally constipated in theory, and
usually during the absolute worst times: the night before that
25-page research paper about periodical cicadas is due and you've
done nothing but watch ""Hoarders"" for the past two weeks, at the
altar during that vow part you were supposed to have memorized but
forgot last night when Destiny at the bachelor party poured a 15th
shot into your mouth using only her cleavage and when you're next
up at the National-Level Articulate Thoughts Materializing Into
Something Not Only Useful, But Necessary Competition. And we all
know that no amount of Phillips' can loosen up the stool of your
mind, but do you ever wonder where those abandoned ideas go?

I've joined an online dating website. Yeah, yeah, laugh all you
want. Let me preface this by saying that I joined with my friends
as a joke and strictly for the sake of sensational journalism; we
all wanted to find guys and go on a date together, and I wanted to
write about it in this column.
