An expert shares a swine flu survival guide

There is an invisible menace on the doorstep of the UW-Madison campus, one that will undoubtedly harm you quicker than a bath with a couple of high-voltage toasters. I am speaking of course about H1N1, or as my medically challenged brethren and I call it, the swine flu. Incredibly, I happened to attend a lecture last week and was formally warned by my professor of the peril that lies ahead for students here in Madison. I've always been a sickly bastard (my grade school nurse and I frequently enjoyed lunch together), so naturally my timid immune system and I were upset by this news. After scrubbing down my hands on account of a day of doorknob onslaught, I decided it would be prudent to seek the infinite wisdom of the Internet for ways to avoid becoming just another statistic.

Talking with freshmen, so you don't have to

With my head out the window of my pimped-out Hyundai, I caught my first few breaths of that fresh Madison air last weekend. The sun was shining in that perfect way, where with the right pair of shades everything seemed to please my eager eyes, including the fresh supply of Madison women. I cringed slightly as I slowed down near Witte, and the bittersweet thoughts of my freshman housing experience came crawling into my head. From what I remember of my first week of freshman year, it was a time full of bat-shit crazy roomates, awkward, sweaty frat rushes and insatiable thirst. It was Welcome Week.

David, class of '09 didn't start the fire

Some poet probably once said ""to every season, a song,"" and right now you can almost hear Vitamin C's ""Graduation"" fading into the soundtrack of our lives. It's hard to savor schooling when you're in the thick of finals preparation, all aflutter ""finishing"" term papers and tracking down lecture notes from lame-os, but for those who will have filled out their last blue book by the 15th, there's a feeling that we should somehow stop and bask in the moment. A lot of stuff has gone down around here in four years, and so to recount it all I wrote a song of my own, to the tune of Billy Joel's ""We Didn't Start the Fire"": 

Claire YouTube channels Clara for traditionally delicious Great Depression Cooking

I'm no stranger to YouTube - nowadays, no one is. Last Wednesday, while streaming videos of the Backstreet Boys, I came across a plethora of wonderful videos pertinent to the other love of my life: food!

Well, it is when the video is narrated by Clara, the wonderful 93-year-old great-grandmother behind the video series, ""Great Depression Cooking."" She peppers her recipes with stories of good ol' times. Clara posted her old family recipes, along with her own expertise of the world, just in time for another serious economic recession.  

Breathing life into MTV’s ‘College Life’

Last week, MTV dropped its much-anticipated bombshell with the premiere of ""College Life,"" filmed right here at UW-Madison. Without going into too much detail, we saw an edited and chronologically inaccurate compilation of partying, relationship trouble and problems assimilating to the local culture, all through the stories of four freshmen. The general student consensus afterward was a resounding two thumbs down.

Grade A Sex
