Let me begin by reiterating what I said last week: If you are a U.S. citizen, if you have lived in the state of Wisconsin for at least 10 days, and if you are not a convicted felon still on probation, you are eligible to vote in Wisconsin. Period.
Leif Bergquist's back hurts. Maybe that's because he's been sitting in class for two hours straight, the back of an unyielding, plastic desk digging into his spine. Or maybe it's because the hour-long ergometer workout he did in crew practice the evening before is catching up with him. For Leif, it's difficult to tell anymore.
Nothing attracts UW-Madison students like free pizza, politics or both.
Have you ever closed your eyes for a really long time and tried to imagine what it is like to be blind? You probably thought of a world without colors, where you recognize people only by their voice, not knowing what anyone looks like. Navigating around your room with your eyes shut, you would trip over a lot of stuff and be scared of not being in complete control. If you haven't met Beth, an 18-year-old freshman, that might be how you imagine it.

A couple of years ago, \Swimfan"" topped the North American box office in its opening week. But more than amounting to merely a surprise financial success, the teen thriller set a new high mark for ridiculous and badly conceived premises. The movie was designed to be a typical morality tale, in which a star high school swimmer cheats on his girlfriend and then watches his life unravel as his secret breast-stroke partner turns possessive and homicidal.
University of Wisconsin freshman women's tennis player Chelsea Nusslock found an unwanted surprise in her laundry Wednesday morning. After removing her tennis uniform from the washing machine in her dorm and all was said and dried, Nusslock had brown marks all over her uniform. A sign had just been placed next to the machine. It read, \Water is brown. Please remove clothes.""
Being an Illinois football fan has been a tough gig over the past two years. The 2001 outright Big Ten Championship seems like a fly on the wall of my freshman dorm room these days.
Members of the New Voters Project have stepped up their efforts this week in the race to register an unprecedented number of voters.
Five years from now, a UW-Madison freshman who has never known the splendor of Ogg Hall could stand at the site of the demolished dorm and see Lake Mendota. His gaze will fall down a pedestrian corridor, a tree-lined and brick-paved promenade, perhaps filled with students milling around public art or rushing from two new residence halls on the southern end of campus.
Matthew, your article really missed the point of disallowing empty alcohol containers in dorm rooms (\Another ineffective prohibition"" Opinion, Sept. 24). Housing Residence Life Staff will tell you that the purpose of the policy is to help house fellows enforce the current alcohol policies. Not ""in part,"" as your article claims. The basis for the policy is the countless previous years' conflicts between house fellows and residents about whether that bottle of UV is really filled with blue-colored water so it looks cool in the black light. And the house fellows will tell you that their jobs are easier because of the policy. While you are correct that the policy probably will not change underage drinking, your statement that ""it has no effect on what it is attempting to achieve"" is incorrect. You just didn't know what the intended effect was.
As many students have read, been told and repeatedly reminded, the use of empty alcohol containers as room decoration by underage residents of UW-Madison Housing is no longer permitted. Although the campus staff may have had the best intentions in mind while devising this new policy, the only noticeable changes will be superficial at best. In most regards, the new policy is a questionable premise for punishment that is extremely difficult to enforce, and does nothing to change the drinking habits of underage residents.
Ah, moving out of the dorms: It's a joyful experience, a rite of passage marked by freedom from floor meetings, a non-existent alcohol policy and roommates you can stand to be in the same room with-but it's also a reality check. Suddenly, you can't just hop across the street or downstairs for sustenance, and the days of eating three square meals in the cafeteria courtesy of your WisCard are gone forever.
As students enter the dorms for the first time and start living on their own, some seem to feel that university housing rules don't apply to them. The residence hall handbook is often one of the first items to be thrown away or shoved into a desk drawer at which point the fun begins. Apparently this 70-page rulebook just isn't valuable for anything except the coupons at the end.
If you cringe at the thought of yet another grease-laden, fatty take-out meal, perhaps what you need is an MSG-laden, fatty take-out meal instead. The UW-Madison campus area abounds with Asian dining options, ranging from those serving classic cramp-inducing pork lo mein to more refined sit-down spots with hibachi-style cooking.
We, at The Daily Cardinal Arts Desk, realize that adjusting to any new experience is hard. As a public service to our readership we asked rockstars ranging from Fountains of Wayne to The Decemberests to Ben Kweller to offer their advice. Each was asked the question \How can college freshmen be cool?""
With election day less than two months away, the UW-Madison branch of the New Voters Project announced they have already registered 3,218 young voters, and said they hope to register a total of 10,000 by November 2.
There are many unique aspects to being a freshman in college: dealing with your roommate's smelly laundry, getting laughed at by a stranger when you ask \Where is State Street?"" and, of course, going to your first lecture with 500 of your closest friends.
UW-Madison police are searching for two \persons of interest"" in the August 29 vandalism of Witte Hall, according to a press release.
Empty bottles of Jack Daniels and Bacardi Razz will no longer decorate UW-Madison dorm rooms.
