As Halloween weekend is shaping up to be an even bigger event than usual with the actual holiday on Friday and the city's annual Freakfest party on Saturday night, officials are speaking out on how to minimize trouble and inconveniences during the celebration.
Going to the doctor's office is bad for my health. I went to my 8:45 a.m. appointment Wednesday morning, only to find that the office was closed until 9. As I sat on the cold cement waiting for the doors to open, I could feel my cold worsen, my blood pressure rise and a severe case of spontaneous dental hydroplosion develop.
The beginning moments of dorm life are as overwhelming of an experience as one could ever imagine: a new environment, new people and often a new or familiar person to spend lots of intimate time in the same room with for two semesters. Now try picturing that person being of the opposite sex - or, even more traumatizing - your significant other. Around 30 universities, including Stanford, Penn, Brown and Clark, have embraced the idea of co-ed rooms, dubbed gender-neutral"" housing.
Recently, the Walgreens located in University Square featured a display with plastic cups and ping-pong balls located suspiciously close together. Although the products were packaged separately, a parent voiced concern to UW Dean of Students Lori Berquam, arguing the display condoned binge drinking, as plastic cups and ping pong balls are the main components of beer pong, a popular drinking game. Berquam called the establishment, and the manager quickly removed the display and has since taken full responsibility for the incident.
After three UW-Madison students were caught in a Sellery Hall elevator Sunday night, university officials said dorm elevator breakdowns are a frequent problem on campus.
Several students were stuck in a Sellery Hall elevator for over 30 minutes Sunday night, according to dorm employees.
I usually am a big supporter of the SAFE (Safe Arrival For Everyone) Nighttime Services. However, this past Saturday night I had a pretty unpleasant experience with SAFEride. After a house party my roommates and I hosted, everybody was heading home. There were three freshman women remaining who called for a SAFEride to the same Southeast dorm from the Vilas neighborhood. When the cab got here, the third woman was turned away as per SAFEride's policy of no more than two riders to a cab. The woman reminded the driver of the dangerous situation recently developing in the Vilas area, specifically the multiple armed robberies within a few blocks of our house, and asked him to forgive the rule. He bluntly responded with I don't care,"" so she returned to our house to seek our help. As my roommate approached the cab to speak with the driver, the taxi pulled away, leaving her on our doorstep.
After reading Thursday's article A New Shade of Green,"" I was unable to grasp the overall message that Patricia Mo was attempting to express. Is Patricia Mo stating that students do not know how nor have the energy to be more environmentally conscious? Destroying our environment is one of today's most pressing issues. There has been a tremendous increase in environmental consciousness on every level, ranging from the fashion industry all the way to Capitol Hill. In my opinion, Patricia's article discourages student readers from taking a responsibility to protect this environment by not realizing herself the significant impact small actions can have on minimizing our individual eco-footprint.
Nutritionists recommend sticking to the perimeter of the grocery store in order to buy the most healthy foods. However, with the cost of groceries rising (five bucks for strawberries) and the average college student's budget getting smaller and smaller, the time has come for creative and thrifty trips to the supermarket.
UW-Madison's Office of the Registrar issued a new Wiscard to incoming freshmen and business school students this semester.
Let's take a minute, step back and take a good look at the amazing university we belong to. Not only do we have phenomenal professors leading cutting-edge research, top-notch academic facilities in all areas of campus and across-the-board excellent arts programs, we also have an amazingly vibrant campus extending beyond the reaches of the academic world.
I was alone, watching a movie at the start of freshman year, when the phone rang. The ordinary impulse would've been to pause Reservoir Dogs"" and answer it, but this was the room phone, which I had not come to think of as my own in the few days living with it.
When I was in high school, I remember mentally tallying the days until I would be free from the death grip of my parents and move into my dorm. I salivated at the thought of living two and a half hours away - away from all of the annoyances that come with living at home with your family - the fights about having to eat the dry chicken mom slaved all day cooking, who will pick up the dog shit, whose turn it was to drive grandma to get her hair done and listen to her whine about the appliances that don't work in her condo (all of which really do).
One time, in Canada, when I was working as a sliced-bread slicer at the Wonder Loafery, I fell into one of those Everything"" conversations with an aged, eight-fingered Eskimo named Harvey.

Freshmen year rocks and sucks all at the same time. That's what makes it freshmen year.

I'm here to help you through the lessons of freshmen cuisine.

I'm usually not one for farewell columns. I often find them tacky and self-serving, but alas, after three years at this paper, I find myself longing to write one.
