Race issues expert: 'Racism is dead'

So there I was, relaxing at the Rathskeller after completing a midterm. A Spotted Cow in one hand and a copy of the Onion in the other. Now, the Rathskeller is probably not one of the best places to hold a private conversation due to the structure of the place, which allows conversations to be easily overheard. As it so happened, I overheard two ladies converse about the racial incident that occurred over at Witte. A black housefellow was told to go home because he was a

He has lived the life most hockey players can only dream of. After earning numerous records and helping his team to the national championship as a freshman, he went on to play with the U.S. Olympic hockey team, followed by an 11-year tenure in the pros and a coaching position with a prominent college hockey team. And the dream continues.

In a rock 'n' roll Frame of mind

Named after singer and founder Glen Hansard's trade of fixing bicycle frames, Irish rockers The Frames are an unknown gem, mostly because past labels Island and ZTT dropped the band without ever releasing their albums in the States. Thanks to their signing with Overcoat Recordings and work with Steve Albini, the Frames last record, For the Birds, created a buzz. Their opening slot for the New Pornographers last February was the band's first Madison show and quite an introduction. This time around they are in support of their live album, Breadcrumb Trail. The Daily Cardinal caught up with Hansard in the tour van while leaving the Badlands.  

A new man in Nat's life?

Last week, I wrote a review of Ryan Adams' latest CD, Demolition, in which I deemed it to be, although somewhat uneven, worth checking out.

Wis. poor example of scandal

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?

UW's unheralded athletes

As one of the most tradition laden and, cryptic sports on campus, rowing is often ignored by the majority of the school. For the athletes, however, rowing transcends sport and becomes a lifestyle.
