Your mom always told you to stand up straight. Though you'll
never catch a cold from chilly weather alone and eating everything
on your plate wasn't always the best advice, in this case, your mom
(or grandma, first grade teacher or chiropractor) knew what she was
talking about.

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has been one of the
most celebrated outlets of alternative culture for the past six
years. The festival, which takes place annually in Indio, Calif.,
showcases today's cutting-edge bands alongside those who have paved
the way in the past, making it something of a scene-defining event.

So you think Associated Students of Madison is dysfunctional? It
is like a well-oiled machine in comparison to the clunky robot
known as Student Labor Action Coalition. Of course, well-oiled
machine\ in reference to ASM is akin to the beater you received on
your sixteenth birthday—rusty, but trusty.

Don Corleone, please you must help us. We've got the license for
‘The Godfather,' but since we're EA and it is well known we can't
make games, we're certain we'll mess it up. After I saw what we did
to Harry Potter, I knew for game-making justice, we must go to Don
Corleone.\

Anxiety over the Avian flu virus, known as H5N1, has spread
throughout the world and many experts are sounding the alarm that a
pandemic is imminent. Still, the nature of the impending health
crisis is uncertain, and questions regarding the force of the
pandemic and H5N1's role in it remain unanswered. A diverse group
of government and academic experts addressed these and other issues
at last Friday's Global Biological Threat Symposium, hosted by
UW-Madison's Center for World Affairs and the Global
Economy.

As U.S. citizens, revolution is in our blood. Our nation was
born in the cradle of revolt against British oppression, an origin
that has led our government to support all manners of revolutions
around the world in the pursuit of a better democracy. We even love
the idea of revolution within our democratic system, with some of
the most popular political figures in history promising internal
revolutions through New Freedoms, New Deals and New
Frontiers.

Madison students fled the campus area as a small band of rebels
attempting to overthrow the Associated Students of Madison neared
Memorial Union on Thursday. By early morning, sporadic gunfire and
shelling on the outskirts of campus could be heard. Reports of
rebel movements had them heading down Langdon Street, toward the
hallowed seat of campus government, with little resistance from
government forces.

Former Packer tight end Mark Chmura is in the news again, and
though senior prom is right around the corner, he isn't making
headlines for creating splashes in a hot tub full of 17-year old
girls this time. After a five-year hiatus from the pages of the
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Chmura has picked a new target, his
best buddy while still with the Packers, Brett Favre.

It is not a good idea to put hot sauce in your ear. Feel free to
let out a collective well duh,\ but do know this—I had to learn
this the hard way.

In Tuesday's upcoming Dane County Board Election, no clear-cut
candidate emerges as the best representative from District 5, which
is composed almost entirely of students. Yet to abstain from
endorsing a candidate would only further the breeding apathy and
proliferate the abysmal student voter turnout rate. Therefore,
based on our obligation to motivate students, we endorse Ashok
Kumar over David Lapidus.

This Thursday through Sunday, filmmakers from Spooner to Sao
Paulo convene in Madison for the Wisconsin Film Festival, which
features 177 films from 27 countries. Not sure what to go see? As

Bordwell. For more information, visit www.wifilmfest.org. Film
Fests and Madison: as Bogey once said, This looks like the
continuation of a beautiful friendship.\ Or something.

Anyone who has heard a recent Wilco song knows who Glenn Kotche
is, even if they don't realize it. Kotche is the talented drummer
who drives Wilco's current Alt-rock/country/indie-sound. He is
often found pushing the boundaries and moving into the uncharted
waters of experimental percussion, and his recent release does not
disappoint on this point. Mobile, Kotche's new solo album, provides
the listener with a journey through the landscape of the sound of
experimental percussion.

Burt Munro is old, stubborn and he pees on his lemon tree to
make it grow. He is clever and thrifty, rebuilding a world-class
Indian motorcycle that comes all the way from the 1920s. Nobody
seems to think that Burt will succeed, though they all shake his
hand, pat him on the back and encourage him anyway. What the other
characters of this film don't know is that Burt will not be
stopped, and that is the beauty of The World's Fastest
Indian.\

Yesterday's Daily Cardinal editorial, Wording Detracts from
Referendum,\ falls short of solid analysis on numerous counts. The
referendum on our April 4th ballot calling for immediate withdrawal
is not representative of an ""ultra-left"" political agenda, nor do
the organizers behind this initiative hold any delusions about its
influence on foreign policy.

Universities around the country have begun to open up
scholarship and financial aid opportunities, originally intended
for ethnic minorities and women, to students of any race and
gender. UW-Madison, however, has not yet followed suit.Since two
2003 Supreme Court cases dealing with race as a criterion for
admission at the University of Michigan, many schools have changed
their affirmative action policies to avoid legal challenges.
Universities, including the State University of New York system and
Southern Illinois University, are not only opening financial
opportunities at the collegiate level, but also in the areas of
high school enrichment programs and graduate student fellowships.
Susan Fischer, director of financial aid at UW-Madison, said she
does not anticipate any changes. We haven't been challenged at this
point in time,\ she said. ""I don't know why we would change unless
we absolutely have to.""Fischer does not believe any scholarships
will be changed because most scholarships given out by UW-Madison
are donation-funded or controlled by

The Libertine\ is the most bizarre cinematic experience of the
year—both repulsive and intriguing—leaving the viewer anticipating
whether the next scene will hold a gothic crude orgy or a
thought-provoking speech.

City dwellers have known for decades that those living in
crowded, urban areas need to deal with several distinct annoyances:
heavy traffic on the streets, loud noises outside the window and
cockroaches infesting the indoors.

A proposed referendum by the Student Labor Action Coalition
would require Memorial Union and several other UW-Madison
organizations to either pay employees a higher wage or lose
funding.

Drawing outside attention to the campus Coastie phenomenon, the
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel printed Megan Twohey's article, 'The
Great 'Coastie ' Divide' in Nov. 2005. Twohey never mentioned that
it was once more common on our campus to refer to the Ugg crowd
from New York, New Jersey, California and Illinois as JAPs (Jewish
American Princesses). Maybe Twohey felt the issue was irrelevant or
never considered it. That's an odd omission. If Coastie is in fact
another way of saying JAP, the 'Coastie Divide' hints at more than
a difference in style.
