Lessons on life
(11/15/06 6:00am)
Forty-eight little eyes are looking up at you waiting for your next direction. Today's task: teach 24 first-graders their vowel sounds, addition and the concept of sharing. You rise before sunup and your car is the last to leave well after sundown. You work 12-hour days, and make around $30,000 a year.
A trip to detox
(11/01/06 6:00am)
We respond as backup to an officer from the Madison Police Department. We find the girl lying in some overgrown brush near Dayton Street. She looks terrible. Her friends left her. The guys she met at the house party just can't handle her anymore. They look afraid. Neither guy knows who she is. When asked her last name, she incessantly tries to spell the name of her dorm—spelling it S-e-l-e-e-e-r-i. Her head leans back. Gazing at the stars vapidly, her mirth turns to sorrow. Her eyes look lifeless. She smiles. Succumbing to some unseen, but tacitly understood, pain she lurches forward. Only her wavering arms keep her from kissing dirt.

Reader of the Day
(10/26/06 6:00am)
New Jersey native Arielle Sedier is a senior majoring in sociology. She represents her campus well back home—she's a raving Badger football fan and always has good Wisconsin stories from her job as a campus tour guide. Her favorite story? A grandfather who bragged about his ""panty raids"" at Liz Waters back in the day. He was disappointed to learn in today's modern and complex world of co-ed dorm living, boys would have to choose between panties, boxers and briefs.
Capital corruption starts in the dorm
(10/26/06 6:00am)
In recent years, it has become a bedrock of American politics for government officials to shoot themselves in the metaphorical foot. Embezzle a little money here, make a racist or sexist comment there—standard operating procedure for today's busy politicians. In fact, it has become such a constant that I grow suspicious when a week passes without the rancid stench of scandal wafting from Washington. The question is: Will our generation live up to this sterling record of continuity?

Roommate survey a staple of dorm life in other universities
(10/17/06 6:00am)
A moment just as important as opening the college admissions envelope with trembling fingers is opening a housing assignment containing a future roommate's name. Whether the roommate is a binge drinker, an anal-retentive pencil sharpener or a perpetual couch potato will remain unknown until at least move-in day.
Jonathan Casillas: more than just a punt-blocker
(10/12/06 6:00am)
A Division I athlete on a college campus doesn't have to do or say a whole lot to be considered down-to-earth. He has to nod indiscriminately to fans as he passes, dole out verbal salutations with liberty and award a select but sizable few a high-, low-, or medium-five if and whenever possible.
Student pride calls for blood donation
(10/10/06 6:00am)

Strange odors are common in student housing—the humidity of late summer days, old heating pipes kicking in at the start of winter and the various odor remnants left over from weekend festivities.
Hey repair man, what's the hole-d up?
(09/19/06 6:00am)
My rent is pretty high this year. After three years of cramped dorms and awkward sublets, I decided it was time to class it up a bit by signing to live in one of the local real estate magnates ""Gold Key"" properties.
Pop-Tarts, lies and 'Saved by the Bell'
(09/18/06 6:00am)
No one really tells the truth about themselves when you meet for the first time freshman year. Too desperate to make friends, traits from high school get lost, attachments to old music and TV shows are abandoned, and too many people start pretending to like Radiohead and Dave Matthews Band. The dorm is a hostile environment, and it's no place for the weak-willed Celine Dion addict.

(09/10/06 6:00am)

The five stages of moving in
(09/04/06 6:00am)
The lobby of a dorm on move-in day is the eighth circle of hell. It's hot, it's sticky, parents are screaming, there's no water to quench your thirst and your fate (meaning, whether you get that laundry cart and how fast you get on that elevator) is in the hands of someone in red who cackles devilishly at you as he takes your ID card.
