Frustrated students discuss tuition raise

A handful of UW-Madison students met in the Red Gym Wednesday night to discuss their concerns with continual tuition increases.

Van Hise, U. South to tumble

The Joint West Campus Area Committee announced dramatic changes for some of west campus' most familiar landmarks Wednesday.

New roommate? Spare cash from the parents? Whatever the case may be, it's time to spend a night on the town. How about Italian? And since Noodles' doors are shut, sadly, that is not an option. Instead, read on to find out about some of Madison's great Italian restaurants! 

Columnist parts with some final suggestions

I've been hanging around Madison for more than four years now and writing for The Daily Cardinal for several of them. In my last column for the Cardinal and I just wanted to make an observation and talk about a few of the issues I am passionate about.

UW crew ready to ship out into new digs

Imagine this: It's not yet dawn on Lake Mendota and you have been sitting in a boat, soaked to the bone, for more than an hour and a half. The temperature is a brisk 40 degrees-not including the wind chill factor--which is slapping across your face with the force of a paddle in the water.

Unfortunately, this means instead of doing homework or studying, I am combing apartment Web sites trying to find a place to live.

College Democrats need proper credit

I was offended by Nick Barbash's comment in Thursday's column that the College Democrats were \invisible"" during this campaign season.
