University cuisine not that horrible
(04/22/04 6:00am)
When one thinks about cafeteria food, images of mystery meat, lunch ladies, and food fights usually come to mind. But here at the UW, those are more or less a thing of the past. Dormitory dining may still be a far cry from gourmet, but you might be surprised what one swipe of your WisCard can buy.

Vive la France! A tribute to cuisine
(03/25/04 6:00am)
After spending a week in France, almost any aspect of Madison is bound to seem pale and uninteresting by comparison. A dull Lake Mendota cannot possibly compete with the romantic Mediterranean coast; sensible, flat Midwestern shoes replace Parisian women's sky-high stiletto heels; even the Capitol dome seems a shoddy piece of architecture compared to the glittering spectacle of the Eiffel Tower. Worst of all, the return to dorm food after seven days of French cuisine is downright depressing. This week, your Cardinal food editor describes some savory morsels from her week in Montpellier, in hopes of inspiring a Toppers-weary student body to seek out its own culinary excitement right here in Madtown.

UW dorm safety not improved after attacks
(03/10/04 6:00am)
Fear: A feeling of anxiety caused by the presence or imminence of danger, and, most recently, an emotion displayed by students of UW Madison's southeast residence halls. In light of the assault of a young woman Jan. 26 in Ogg Hall, as well as the alleged attack made on a female by her boyfriend, a UW football player, many would expect a display of concern from UW officials. However, any security measures taken following the recent events have been subtle, if evident at all.

(03/02/04 6:00am)
