With less than two weeks until the November elections, Students for a Fair Wisconsin is preparing to unleash the final blows in its fight against the proposed gay marriage ban.
If the Badgers topple the No. 20 Indiana Hoosiers Friday night in Bloomington, Ind., it would not be an upset of David and Goliath proportions. But it might be close.
Disheartening. That is the best way one could describe the end to the Badgers' basketball season last year. Winning only five of its last 13 games, culminating in a 19-point catastrophe in the first round of the NCAA tournament, was a rough way for a team to end the season after beginning it 15-4.
As a college town, Madison has a large amount of renters. This means tenants' rights are an important issue for the city to tackle. The ordinance proposed this week to the City Council is a significant step in protecting the rights of students as renters.
UW-Madison students are often nationally recognized for their academics and innovation, and when they walk off that Kohl Center stage with their diplomas, companies will be lining up to start getting a piece of these graduates' fat pay checks.
The body of a UW-La Crosse student missing since Saturday night was pulled from the Mississippi River Monday morning.
As the saying goes, a tie is like kissing your sister. If that is the case, the UW men's soccer team has been doing a little too much kissing as of late.
Though the effect seems lessened three years into the current glut of post-punk and new wave-revivalists, when the Rapture debuted with the fantastic Echoes in 2003, their angular, spacious dance-punk seemed, if not entirely unprecedented, at least very far off the beaten path. In subsequent years, no other band has come close to duplicating Echoes' abrasive edge or its weird, manic sex appeal. Consequently, fans rabidly awaiting a follow-up have had their hopes resting squarely on the band's shoulders for a long time.
Marvin Gaye's 1971 release What's Going On's fusion of religious narratives and political overtones succeeded in solidifying Gaye as the most important R&B artist of his generation. In an ambitious undertaking, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band attempt to revive the soul of this classic album to commemorate the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The Dozen's What's Going On takes this timeless message and allows it to flourish in a modern context.
A score of 34-10 against a Division 1-AA opponent surely sounds underwhelming. Relative to expectation, a 24-point margin of victory is scant. But to be troubled by the Badgers' sub-par play is to overlook their understandable lack of urgency.

This is a documentary of Daily Cardinal writer Seth Bichler and his annual wild turkey hunting trip in Western Wisconsin.
Aloha used to be a band with their heads in the clouds, creating songs that floated above the listener, painting hazy, dreamy pictures with their ever-present vibraphone filling every corner of their songs. Some Echoes, their self-assured new album, proves that these days the band keep things a lot more lucid—their heads are still partially in the clouds, but their feet are planted firmly on the ground.
Pretty Girls Make Graves sports the newest indie trend: a primarily testosterone-driven band who hands over the lead vocals and lyrics to a girl. Its sound strays from other bands with comparable gender match-ups like Rilo Kiley and Tilly and the Wall. On its new album, Élan Vital, the band continues to possess an earnest and ferocious post-punk sound it refuses to drop for any track.

After two days off, the UW men's hockey team met to practice Wednesday for the first time since its thrilling triple-overtime win against Cornell. No one was ready to say the team had fully recovered.You can still tell that some of the guys are a little wiped,\ head coach Mike Eaves said. ""It'll take through this weekend before I think they get back the jump, and the jump will come with the anticipation and the rest.""Eaves said the day had consisted of a brief meeting and low-key practice aimed merely at getting the players back into the swing of things. He plans to build the intensity up each day this week.According to senior captain forward Adam Burish, the players were excited to come to the rink, but the practice was just focused on loosening up: handling the puck and not pushing too hard.
Liars seem to have made it a point to avoid being pigeonholed with any genre or scene. Once grouped with dancepunk outfits, Liars have become a more experimental, rhythm-driven band. Liars' early work draws from both the post-punk and no wave well, embracing heavy drums, sludge and noise.
