As summer approaches, students will be moving out of the dorms to either head home or sublet over the next few months. During this time, the dorms are filled with a wide range of inhabitants, many of whom are unknown to the student body.
It is time to rethink our image of UW-Madison. The leftist haven of the 1960s and '70s is no more. Instead, the school is a roughly accurate representation of the state-minus minorities and poor people, of course. When you take minorities and poor people out of the mix, the reasons for UW to be a center-right community only increase.
For those of us who are graduating in two weeks, the days seem filled with ambiguity. There are those who look forward to commencement with anticipation, secure in a future they've earned and cannot wait to gain access to. For others who are just now coming to the realization that a political science degree doesn't guarantee them the seven-figure salary coming out of college they were hoping for, time can not move slowly enough. Some still get teary eyed each time they hear \Varsity"" at any given sporting event, and others just want to curl up in a ball and pull their hair out when the band strikes up ""If You Want To Be a Badger.""
What began as an initiative to save tax dollars for prisons has become a potentially major headache for UW students. Due to the success of prisons that do not purchase foods together in bulk, Gov. Doyle felt that implementing a similar plan in the UW System would allow for the same control and a decreased budget. However, the Wisconsin Union does not function on state tax dollars and receives no revenue from food and retail operations but instead receives contributions from alumni to maintain its facilities and programs. Therefore, changing vendors at the Union as Doyle has proposed would save absolutely no money for the state.
Many students seeking to avoid contact with UW-Madison police officers may only worry about hiding open intoxicants and loud music.
Finals are upon us; impending doom is less than a week away. During such times of crisis, it can be just as easy to reach for a bag of chips or cookies as it is to lug out that twenty-pound physics book. Crunching on junk food, however, will not only add weight to the waistline, it will agitate your nervousness and increase your stress even more.
East of the Capitol lies a new pizzeria named Roman Candle, at 1054 Williamson St. Though only open for four weeks, it is stuffed full of great food, good company and a friendly, laid-back caf??-style environment with good home-cooking.
The music
UW-Madison students met at Bradley Learning Community Thursday to explore the elements of college life that lead to culture shock when entering the campus as new or international students.
The Strings of Hope Foundation is kicking off its fund-raiser this month taking donations to string tennis, squash and racquetball rackets for pediatric burn care.
Anyone who thinks humans don't hibernate should really visit Madison in April. Every year around this time, Madison thaws from its winter malaise and the city's waking college population seems to double while its smiles seem to triple, as young men's fancies turn from skirt-chasing to mini-skirt-chasing. But along with this youthful springtime glee emerges a far more shadowy annual occurrence:
Many consider UW-Madison to be a \liberal"" school, possibly leading some to consider the campus to be non-religious as well. Nevertheless, what makes UW-Madison different from smaller, religious-oriented schools like Edgewood College is that UW-Madison does not have an official religion, but rather offers the opportunity to explore many.
Ald. Robbie Webber, District 5, Ald. Austin King, District 8, and Isadore Knox Jr., District 13, were victorious in Tuesday's election in the three contested campus districts.
The future of Madison's cityscape became more concrete Monday night when two major construction projects received approval from the city's Plan Commission. The demolition of the house at 353 W. Mifflin St. and Ogg Hall were both approved on consent. No additional commentary from the projects' respective parties was required by the commission.
Although it announced some minor changes, the Joint Southeast Campus Area Committee revealed Monday that plans are on track for the Dayton and Park Street residence halls as well as the Campus Master Plan.
No St. Patrick's Day would be complete without some good, old-fashioned dancing. When alcohol and good company combine, someone will be doing a jig and waving a glass before morning. Whether caught up in the wonderful energy of a classic Irish drinking song or another track that simply sings the praises of everyone's favorite intoxicant, something about the holiday particularly demands good music. The Daily Cardinal offers up some suggested listening for your drunken St. Patrick's Day debauchery.
\As a freshman I came and lived in the dorms as most people do, and also like most freshmen do, made the mistake of setting up housing [for sophomore year] the first day you could sign a lease. I ended up living with a bunch of other random kids from the dorms in this cramped house,"" UW-Madison senior Megan Lipke said.
Dan the freshman likes doing it on the bathroom floor. Sleeping, not banging. He longs for the high school days when he would wake up in the early morning and cuddle on the cold tile before school. Unfortunately, Dan hasn't found the same comforting toiletside reflection time in the southeast dorms. Maybe you should move to The Towers, Dan. Or... maybe not.
