When many people think of February, Valentine's Day may
immediately come to mind. Despite the significance of this holiday
in that it allows participants to declare their love for the
important people in their lives, February also represents an entire
month of celebrating the achievements of African Americans
throughout American history. February is Black History
Month.

In yet another cinematic pass at Shakespeare's \Taming of the
Shrew,"" ""Deliver Us From Eva"" does very little to differentiate
itself from the average romantic comedy. Whether that's good or bad
is debatable, but given the potential of any film starring LL Cool
J, the finished product could have been far worse.

With the end of the semester offering a good month to sit back
and waste, it might just be tempting to dust off a book and see
what the old volume has to offer. In the spirit of end-of-the-year
lists and dragging yellowed books off the shelf, Cardinal Arts
presents some suggested winter reading. If mid-January rolls around
and you have nothing but fruitcake to entertain you, remember this
list.

Any movie that has Eddie Murphy, Owen Wilson, Famke Janssen and
Malcolm McDowell should have an idiot-proof path to success. Murphy
and Wilson have each proven themselves to be A-list comedic talents
in similar buddy movies to \I Spy."" Malcolm McDowell, cast as the
villain, has shown his ability to invoke fear and power time and
time again. Then you have Famke Janssen. Another hope for this film
lies in its supposed origins. ""I Spy,"" the television series,
starred Robert Culp and Bill Cosby back in the 1960s. The duo was
not only funny, but also broke new ground by having both black and
white stars.

Anyone who reads The Capital Times, The State Journal, The
Journal Sentinel or that fantastic website, WisPolitics.com, will
read constantly of one scandal or another: the caucuses this, Brian
Burke that; Chuck Chvala this, Scott Jensen that; Gary George, Dan
McMurray; the list goes on and on. Wisconsin, whose political
observers have long admired the state's tradition of clean
government dating back to the reforms of \Fighting Bob"" La
Follette, can only despair at Wisconsin's continued decline into
the ethical dumps. It is important, however, to add a different
perspective: you call this stuff scandal?

One week after the Democratic gubernatorial primary, the dust
has settled in the U.S. Rep, Tom Barrett, D-Milwaukee, campaign
office, and most of the \Make Herstory: Vote Falk"" chalkings have

forgets the Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk and Barrett
campaigns, political science professors and campaign staff members
reflected on the election.

American democracy, like any form of democracy, cannot guarantee
proper representation of the people unless the people make a
decided effort to involve themselves in the election process. Many
point with sadness to the low turnout that occurs in American
general elections and can only look at Europe, whose own turnout is
consistently falling to meet ours, as some sort of city on a hill.
Many non-voters will point to dissatisfaction with the nominees
given to them from our two political parties. How sad, then, that a
vast majority of even those who do bother to vote on Election Day
almost never turn out for the determination of the party candidates
themselves, something not enjoyed by Europeans, our
primaries.
