Father's career makes Kiera a little teste
(10/05/07 6:00am)
Growing up, I always dreaded the first day of school. It wasn't because of the disappointment when yet another pigtailed brat rose above me in the popularity chain, nor was it the disillusionment discovering the creepy boy with glasses and the inexplicable yellow stain on his pants also outranked me. Rather, it was during introductions, when I was forced to announce my parents' occupations to the class.

Smooth as 'silk'
(09/19/07 6:00am)
Period movies based in the 1800s are often forced to make up in extravagant costumes what they lack in thrilling adventure and plot. Few send their characters across continents or dare to push conventional damsel-in-distress archetypes like director Franà §ois Girard's latest visual masterpiece, Silk,"" does. With collaborations from the artistic staff of ""Pride and Prejudice,"" ""Silk"" breathes new life into a tired genre.
Impeachment not in City Council's job description
(09/18/07 6:00am)
Consider the purpose of city government: to deal with specific local issues in order to improve a city at its basic levels.

Letter to the editor: Collective bargaining misunderstood
(09/14/07 6:00am)
With the state budget nearly two months overdue, there is still substantial confusion over its various proposals. As evidenced by a recent Daily Cardinal news article (Proposal allowing UW faculty to unionize draws fierce criticism,"" Sept 11, 2007), perhaps no proposal is as misunderstood as the proposal that would extend collective bargaining rights to UW faculty and academic staff.
Rising players ready to step into new roles
(09/13/07 6:00am)
In Badger football, it seems inevitable that every season will convey a completely different dynamic. The first two weeks of Wisconsin's season have proven no exception to the rule in a year of incredibly high expectations. Last season, many of the team's younger players took on huge roles at impact positions, most notably running back P.J. Hill and tight end Travis Beckum. This season the depth chart feels more solidified, but this youthful roster still has plenty of room for impact players who are likely to be called upon to make the right play at the right time. Here are a couple of predictions for impact categories and players to watch throughout the season.
9/11 Commission needs objective perspective
(09/11/07 6:00am)
Consider what happens when detectives investigate a suspected murder: All possibilities are taken into account no matter how unlikely one theory may be compared to another, or who it might implicate. For example, when a teenage girl is found murdered in her home, a detective does not exclude her parents as possible suspects simply because they are her parents. This same logic should follow with any investigation.
Online registration for classes causes anger
(09/07/07 6:00am)
After indulging myself in HBO's Hard Knocks,"" I have come to two realizations: The NFL depth chart is the most scrutinized aspect of the sports world, and it is a near impossibility that the time spent altering a team's depth chart eclipses the amount of time I have spent modifying my class schedule.
Oy Vey: Chabon putzes around with 'Policemen's Union'
(09/07/07 6:00am)
Ten years ago, in Harper's, Michael Chabon told the fantastic true story of how he was inspired to write the book that would eventually become The Yiddish Policemen's Union."" It's a story that sounds, well, straight out of a Michael Chabon novel. And unfortunately, it's far more interesting than anything his actual new work of fiction has to offer.

Letter to the Editor
(04/24/07 6:00am)
With all the press Delta Lambda Phi has gotten lately, I was happy to see another feature on our growing colony here at UW-Madison. I'd like to take this opportunity to respond to a few of Marcie Benson's assertions in Monday's column.
