At The Daily Cardinal, we have been supportive of the Madison Initiative for Undergraduates (MIU) and its original intent: retaining UW's quality of education while helping foster economic diversity in the student population through increased scholarships and competitive tuition.
Former Republican U.S. Rep. Mark Neumann became the first of the three major gubernatorial candidates to air a television advertisement Monday.
A new internet phenomenon, fittingly titled Chat Roulette, dropped last November 2009. Created by the 17-year old Russian Andrey Ternovsky, this social website delivers exactly what its name promises: a risk- filled twist on current social networking sites. Ternovsky admits that the idea first dawned on him through his extensive use of Skype —Chat Roulette allows you to connect with strangers via webcam, text and audio.
Every once in awhile, I am so excited or distraught (or both) by something I see or hear that I must break the traditions I have made for myself as a Page Two columnist.
I just started dating a new guy. Do you have any suggestions on how to ask if someone has been tested for STIs and what types of questions should I be asking? What should I know about my STI testing besides positive or negative?
Editor's Note: Jon is out this week with frostbite on his lower extremities after trying to go streaking at Camp Randall's Outdoor Hockey Classic. Replacing him this week will be his deadbeat twin brother, Joe.
What does it mean to see a film? To me, these types of questions are much more interesting and fruitful than the more widely posed ""Does all cinema count as art?"" As I see it, the point of talking and thinking about art is not to make art an an elite club to which the contents of the Louvre, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, ""Madame Bovary"" and ""Citizen Kane"" belong but ""Hot Tub Time Machine,"" R. Kelly, Lady Gaga and Jackson Pollock do not.
Today is the time to mine the Internet for higher education resources. Just recently, California passed a law requiring that all college textbooks be available in electronic form by 2020. Some institutions have taken steps no less progressive. MIT, for example, has successfully run its OpenCourseWare (OCW) project for eight years, injecting a rare dose of philanthropy into higher education. By offering its course content online for free, MIT initiated the noble cause of open course projects. Many top universities, including Yale and Carnegie Mellon, have since joined the party. However, ideas to take the project further are somewhat more controversial.
It's always a pleasure to watch a Hollywood film that doesn't try to beat the viewer upside the head with 3-D explosions or overwhelm with more cuts than the viewer's mind knows what to do with. However, it's always a displeasure to watch a Hollywood film that flaunts an inflated sense of its own cuteness. The second of these two unwritten laws is what made director Jason Reitman's last film, ""Juno,"" so unapologetically dreadful: That movie was 95% prefab swagger and 5% self-congratulation. My intensely negative response to ""Juno"" is partly responsible for my comparatively positive response to Reitman's latest, the highly acclaimed ""Up in the Air.""
An age-old proverb states that good behavior deserves a reward. Moms want the chores done, teachers want completed homework and coaches want to win games. And whether it is a treat from the cookie jar, a gold star or a starting position, the human body is conditioned to exchange hard work for a savory delight.
This Tuesday the state Senate overwhelmingly passed a bill that would ban all drivers from texting behind the wheel. Drivers caught texting could face fines ranging from $20 to $400, the same rates assessed by a pre-existing state law against inattentive driving. The bill passed 27-5 but must be approved by the Assembly before becoming law.
Undoubtedly you voted in the ASM elections sometime in the last three days, right? No?! I nearly forgot myself. Had I not coincidentally used MyUW, I would not have noticed the small ""Vote now"" box encouraging students to vote for their own student government. At least they ran glorious full-page ads in The Daily Cardinal featuring ""Uncle ASM."" Good thing I was approached by text, not human beings lobbying students to exercise their civic duty.
Contrary to popular belief, the end of human kind will not come suddenly, taking the shape of a mushroom cloud in the red sky. The destruction of society is already underway, and you can see it at the library, in lecture halls, on Bascom hill, walking Charter Street and in State Street cafés.
Ever think you're the only one laughing at your jokes in chem lab? Ever think that maybe that question you asked was, in fact, not burning through anyone else's skull during your anthro lecture? Congratulations—you may be ""that guy"" in your classes.
Lollapalooza 2009
Welcome to Facebook 2015
By the time you're reading this, the Internet may very well be completely obliterated by the Conficker virus.
For all you nubile young people who laid out on the beach instead of vegging on the couch in colder climates, you missed out. The past two weeks' television fare was wildly political, no matter what channel you tuned into.
Something scary happened while I was waiting in line outside Madison's. My friend Erik just started bouncing at Madison's, so a couple friends and I decided to check it out.
There are few things that give me greater joy than the feeling of being recognized and admired. This explains my desire to be famous, to get interviewed on late-night TV while completely stoned off my ass, perhaps sticking my gum on the desk or dancing on top of it, and have to my every move photographed with my ever-present large caffeinated beverage.
