We have reached the end. The 80th annual Heisman Trophy will be awarded to one of three finalists Dec. 13—Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota, Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon or Alabama wide receiver Amari Cooper.
Put on your party hats because oral arguments are in full swing at the Supreme Court. I love this time of year. It’s an all out jurisprudential bash filled with judicial supremacy, strict scrutiny and a delicious side of the sweet and sassy Ruth Bader Ginsburg. This term should be an interesting one, with the court taking on a host of different issues, despite their avoidance of the same-sex marriage question. One case that particularly caught my eye, however, is that of Elonis v. United States.
The Distinguished Lecture Series is an entirely student-run organization committed to bringing influential speakers with powerful ideas to campus to give free lectures to students. On Monday, Nov. 17, the committee brought The New York Times bestselling author Bill Bryson to Shannon Hall in Memorial Union.
Nebraska week is finally here.
Here we are. Over a week past the election. I think it’s about time I relax, take a deep breath and start complaining about something other than politics. For me, the next logical step is sports. When I first sat down to write this article, though, I struggled to find something that I could realistically malign for 500-900 words. I mean, things have been pretty good lately. The Packers are 6 and 3 and they just finished putting the smackdown of the century on the Bears, which I’m sure made Jay Cutler feel nothing because it’s clear by his play and demeanor that neither the city of Chicago nor the sport of football mean anything to him. On top of that, while the Badgers suffered a couple disappointing losses to start the season, it’s hard to complain when they’ve won four straight in decisive fashion and have a player with a realistic chance of winning the Heisman
Last week, the Allman Brothers Band ended their career as a band on a high note, playing three sets at their second home, the Beacon Theatre on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, a venue they’ve played more than 230 times over the course of their 45-year career.
As artists like the Replacements and U2 spent the 1980s paving the roads leading to the many futures of rock music, a band of rebels from New York’s alternative scene tore up the same roads, carving their sonic landscapes deep into the American music consciousness. After carving his teeth in experimental guitar orchestras and hardcore bands, it's with these rebels that Thurston Moore first made his name. In Sonic Youth, Moore helped tear apart rock music convention, crafting soundscapes of distorted noise rock and fury driven punk.
In the new millennium, we can watch a police officer kill a citizen as easily as we can start a Netflix trial. These past few years of headlines, from Florida to Ferguson and beyond, have served as an archival of wrongdoing: a grandparent being beaten into the soil, black children being shot down in their neighborhoods, peaceful protestors swallowing tear gas in the night. America has swallowed its tax dollars into a whirlpool of distrust, time and again, leaving citizens clamoring for relief from the ailment of a system they can no longer trust.
Here I was: Terry Oliver, a man with a case. To find the Tenny Bros. “Tenny” like “Tennyson.” But as it stood, I had no leads, no starts, no clues—only four telegrams from a Finnish company with no return address and a few futile Google searches under my belt. I knew I would have to make a call on an old friend, or a new enemy depending on how you looked at it.
Wednesday night, MacArthur fellows Chris Thile & Edgar Meyer graced the Wisconsin Union Theater in support of their new album Bass & Mandolin. It was a stunning technical performance, though often very dissonant and challenging to the listener. The audience was not at all put off by the complicated rhythms and shifting harmonic structures, instead meeting the performers with laughter, approval, and multiple standing ovations.
Jet-lagged on a Wednesday morning, professional actor and comedian Chris D’Elia was kind enough to take some time to speak with me about his upcoming performance at the Madison Comedy Festival and his current industry projects.
Have you touched the vomit, blood, sweat, saliva, urine or feces of someone who might have the Ebola virus disease? No? Then you do not have Ebola virus disease.
Cue explosions.
King Tuff (real name: Kyle Thomas) doesn’t hide behind any autobiographical ambiguities on Black Moon Spell. In fact, he’s pretty forward about who he is and what he wants to do. In “Madness,” he declares his raison d’être in traditional Alice Cooper fashion: “King Tuff is my name/I got madness in my brain/Pleased to meet ya/I’m gonna eat ya/because I’m batshit insane!” Nor does he hide where he comes from; echoing Springsteenian mantras, Tuff declares in “Black Holes in Stereo”: “I learned more working at the record store than I ever did in high school.”
The University of Wisconsin-Madison Police Department sent emails to parents of students Thursday warning them of a recent phone scam asking for money, according to a university news release.
Our writers all have their favorite Badger moments since we enrolled. Throughout the years, it’s been pretty good to be a Badger fan. Now, the question is what lies in store for you.
The rosters for the 2014 Major League Baseball All-Star Game in Minnesota were released Sunday night, so now it's time to wade through the rosters and separate the wheat from the chaff and the Jeter from the young baseball players.
Asthma affects one in every 12 people in the United States and this trend is increasing every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Conventionally, patients are diagnosed through indirect measures such as lung functionality. Direct methods have traditionally required a venipuncture blood draw and thus have been impractical because they can’t be used with everyone. However, with the kit-on-a-lid-assay (KOALA) microfluidic technology developed by a team of the University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers, only one drop of blood is required to detect asthma.
My one piece of advice for University of Wisconsin-Madison students: go abroad. And don’t just go abroad for three weeks in the summer and pretend you’re doing charity work in Costa Rica. Don’t just go abroad for a semester and take an introductory language course where you’ll forget everything, because you’re drunk the entire time. Go. Abroad. Find a place you think seems interesting and go there for an entire academic year. Go abroad and really commit to being abroad.
Sources close to the matter have disclosed that the University of Wisconsin-Madison office of admissions is just fucking with Bradley Tompkins, Mukwonago High School Class of 2014.
