Just as the surface of the Kohl Center transforms and adapts to the sports it hosts, student fans of basketball and hockey games have adopted similar, yet diverse traditions for different sports.
There is a new addition to the Madison bar hoppers' list this year'only this one may cure that next day hangover.
With the first snow falling a few weeks ago, winter is officially upon us here in Madison. While most students are undoubtedly cursing the cold as they lunge to class, curled up in their many layers, there are some who celebrate the advent of winter sports, if not the arrival of winter.
Originally, Paramount Pictures wanted Ashton Kutcher to star in writer/director Cameron Crowe's latest, \Elizabethtown."" Crowe conceded and cast him, only to fire him, citing his lack of acting ability (or, as Kutcher's people put it, ""scheduling conflicts"") as the reason for dismissal. However, when Kutcher got the boot, he actually benefited by avoiding being in ""Elizabethtown,"" which represents a rare misstep in Crowe's filmography.
Individuals suffering from AIDS, multiple sclerosis, cancer, and other painful diseases may soon be able to alleviate their pain with marijuana, pending the approval of a state bill proposed by Rep. Gregg Underheim, R-Oshkosh. The bill, introduced Monday, would allow physicians to prescribe marijuana at their own discretion.
In between studying for midterms and apple picking, I have been keeping an eye out for the latest trends of the new school year. As you will come to find out, I am not impressed by most of them. Your assumptions are correct. I am the last person who should be reporting on trends, but too bad. When the fashion-mavens and style-watchers get their own columns, they can have at it. Until then, I will be playing dual roles.
Today the very mention of Madison's smoking ban is enough to make most students' eyes glaze over, roll back into their heads and eventually close as they drift into a deep peaceful sleep where they dream of a world without broken record political debates.
Madison residents will not be smoking again in the bars anytime soon, as far as the Dane County Board of Health is concerned. The board voted Wednesday against three proposals from the City Council that would overrule the City of Madison's current tobacco-free ordinance.
Last semester, I had a favorite person in Madison. Working out at the SERF, I used to see the same guy many afternoons. He was pretty hard to miss.
Professor and partisan provocateur Ward Churchill's highly-anticipated visit to Wisconsin has come and gone. Regardless of the state Assembly's official condemnation, Churchill had his say-and so did many others. Tuesday's convergence of ideologues, activists, members of the media and political opportunists in Whitewater, Wis. seemed to be just another predictable blip on the partisan radar. Yet there is something to learn from this occasion about the nature of American political discourse and Wisconsin's role in forming the agenda. This week's inspiring display of free speech and mutual respect should shine as a beacon of hope in a society that seems to be growing ever more polarized.
Last week the pop/punk trio Blink-182 announced they are going on hiatus of an indefinite length: \While there is no set plan for the band to begin working together again, no one knows what tomorrow may bring,"" the band's management said in a statement on Blink's website. Rumors of a permanent breakup swirled the Internet, and when I read the rumors, I almost passed out.
You may have read the news brief in last Friday's Cardinal detailing two bizarre incidents in California involving dead squid: Hundreds of the tentacled critters washed up on an Orange County beach last Thursday, while just up the coast on the very same day, a semi hauling frozen squid overturned, blocking the road and bringing down power lines. Though the two were reportedly \unrelated,"" my suspicion was piqued.
Imagine trying to concentrate while scores of college girls repeatedly beg for \Sex at Six"" at the top of their lungs. Should a person give in to the demands, or hold out to make the performance all the more satisfying? The Profits, an independent band comprised of four talented Madison locals, often face this predicament at their concerts.
This Friday will mark the 20th anniversary of the worst industrial accident in history. Shortly after midnight Dec. 3, 1984, 40 tons of toxic methyl isocyanate gas escaped from the Union Carbide plant in the middle of the city of Bhopal, India. The cyanide gas washed over thousands of families, burning their lungs, eyes and skin.
Eritrean-Canadian Badger runner junior Simon Bairu is a waif. There is no other way to describe his physique. Watching him run is almost funny. He does not have the most graceful stride; his arms often cross his chest and he is slightly duck-footed. Put simply, he does not necessarily look like an elite runner. He's not all sharp angles and tendons. Rather, as fellow teammate junior Bobby Lockhart often says, Bairu looks \soft."" But these impressions beg the question: Just how in the hell did Bairu win the NCAA national title at muddy Terre Haute, Ind., last week?
An Environmental Protection Agency proposal to study young children's exposure to pesticides has sparked a flurry of internal agency protests, with several career officials questioning whether the survey will harm vulnerable infants and toddlers.
Everyone knows Murphy's Law: Anything that can go wrong, will. I'm reminded of this law every time I choose a line at a store and notice the lines on either side of me always seem to move faster than the one I'm in. The question finally struck me: Was there really a Murphy, and what compelled him to lend his name to such a pessimistic axiom?
The Public Health Commission passed a proposed ordinance banning smoking in nearly all Madison public places, including bars and taverns, with an amendment changing the implementation date.
