SXSW Film illustrates the importance and value of the arts
(03/28/16 11:00pm)
When I tell people that I want to be a writer, many people ask the question “Don’t you want to make money?” To this, I would usually respond with a small smile and a shrug, because I know why they’ve asked it. As a field of study, the arts—whether it be writing, acting, singing or performing—can get lost in the shuffle amid the degrees deemed more “successful” like business, engineering or law. That is not to say that these fields are not immensely important in our society, but their placement in the limelight means that the arts may be left in the shadows. If there was one thing I would take away from the South By Southwest film festival, it is that the importance of the arts should never be understated, because it ignites my passion in a way only certain things can.

(03/03/16 10:11pm)
For the past few years, sorority Lambda Theta Alpha has organized and hosted Triple S, in which different Greek organizations come together to step, salute and stroll in proud competition. This year, 11 organizations competed and more than twice as many were present in the Memorial Union Theater. Some of these organizations have active chapters here on the UW-Madison campus, including Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., Omega Delta Phi Fraternity, Inc., alpha Kappa Delta Phi International Sorority, Inc., Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority, Inc. and the aforementioned hosts Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. Other organizations came to represent from the UW-Whitewater campus, such as Zeta Sigma Chi Multicultural Sorority, Inc. and Lambda Alpha Upsilon Latin Fraternity Inc.
Badgers host Northwestern on senior day
(02/20/16 1:07am)
Wisconsin (3-12 Big Ten, 7-18 overall) is gearing up for what ought to be an emotional afternoon on the Kohl Center floor. Saturday marks the last game this group will play together at home, and the senior day festivities and traditions will continuously remind the veteran corps of the last opportunity that they have to wear the Cardinal and White in front of their home fans. Still, despite the distractions and emotions that will be present throughout the game, the Badgers’ ultimate goal remains untarnished: beat Northwestern.
Letter to the editor: God bless contraception
(02/08/16 5:00pm)
An Op-Ed published in The Daily Cardinal titled “The social impact of contraception” claimed the increased use of contraception has had a “devastating impact on our families, relationships and our society.” The author, Ben Miller, cites Pope Paul VI’s Humanae Vitae, an encyclical published in 1968 that predicted an increase in infidelity, objectification of women, overreach and corruption by public authorities, and immoral attempts by humankind to control their bodies if contraception use became widespread. Due to the flawed logic of his argument and disregard for the positive effects of contraception, we felt it necessary to respond.
The most important side of politics: the personal
(02/04/16 12:00pm)
Following the Iowa caucus Feb. 1, tensions within both parties have already begun to peak. While we wait for the voting to resume once again in New Hampshire on Tuesday, debates between everyday Americans as to which candidate is the proper one for their respective parties have already turned heated.
Kid Cudi show lacks excitement despite smashing acoustic guitar
(02/02/16 12:00pm)
In many ways, going to a concert has a certain amount of predictability. The opener goes on at 8, headliner at 10. The set will have a simple backdrop. There probably won’t be any guest appearances and the performance itself won’t last longer than about 90 minutes. For Cleveland-based rapper Kid Cudi, however, “predictability” simply isn’t in his vocabulary—at least not in his live performances.
Badgers begin early preparation for unfamiliar USC
(12/15/15 11:08am)
Often lost in the craziness of all the bowl games and national title talks is just how interesting the matchups can be. Historical powerhouses that rarely see each other get a chance to face off, and the Holiday Bowl between Wisconsin (6-2 Big Ten, 9-3 overall) and USC (5-4 Pac-12, 8-5 overall) is a prime showcase.
Wisconsin set for another NCAA Tournament run
(12/03/15 5:37am)

CFP picture gets fuzzier by the week
(10/30/15 1:32am)
If it seems like there’s a logjam at the top of the AP rankings this year, it’s because there is. A remarkable 12 teams have made it through the first eight weeks of play without a blemish on their record. That’s the most undefeated ranked teams in college football since the AP Poll expanded to 25 teams in 1989.
Record Routine: Pentatonix soar on self-titled release
(10/27/15 4:53pm)
Touring with Kelly Clarkson would probably be the peak of many artist’s year. For the a cappella quintet Pentatonix, this was merely another step closer to the top. As if a platinum-selling Christmas album isn’t enough, Pentatonix’s new, self-titled albumhas reached no. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 charts in just 10 days after its October 16 release. As many a cappella albums go, Pentatonix includes fantastic covers of popular chart-toppers including Jason Derulo’s “If I Ever Fall In Love” and OMI’s “Cheerleader.”
A cosign from Kanye West can be fortunate, but maybe for just a season
(10/20/15 4:23am)
While his personality is constant in the public eye, Kanye West has put on many different hats and transformed his image within the music industry throughout his career. Starting off his legacy by producing hundreds of beats for some of the best hip-hop musicians of his time, he soon moved to rapping over his own beats and collaborating with the fresh talent coming up alongside him. Currently, he’s on a vicious path for world domination, with lines out the door just to pick up his latest shoe designs.
Mac Miller and openers energizes sold-out Orpheum Theater
(10/20/15 4:15am)
The Orpheum Theater was full of excitement as Mac Miller and his three opening acts took the stage by storm Saturday. As expected, the sold-out crowd packed the Orpheum. Before the doors opened, early guests lined the sidewalk for more than two blocks, and when the doors finally opened, people packed the first floor and balcony so tightly that no one could take a step or raise their hands without bumping the next spectator. The stage was set up with two DJ tables and a large centered alarm clock with Mac Miller’s new album name, GO:OD AM. On the sides were posters of his album cover photo, depicting Mac Miller’s obnoxiously yawning face. Rappers The Come-Up Boys, Domo Genesis and GoldLink, each partnered with their own DJ, revved the audience with a plethora of bass-bumping singles. And Mac Miller most certainly made the concert a highlight of the University of Wisconsin-Madison homecoming weekend.
Between the Sheets: Female orgasms and how to keep ‘em cumming
(10/20/15 3:30am)
In the classic 1989 film “When Harry Met Sally” the world watched Meg Ryan perform a theatrical fake orgasm in the middle of a diner. Five years later on Friends, Chandler exclaimed “multiple orgasms!” to end an argument about who has it better—men or women. Chandler was right to be excited about the fact that not only can women orgasm, but they can do it over and over! While we know this about female bodies, oftentimes orgasms get overlooked.
Falling in love with autumn weather
(10/14/15 4:55am)
Break out your Gap coupons and treat yourself to a new jean jacket because fall is officially here. It’s the beautiful mid-point between the thick, humid Wisconsin summers and dry, blistering-cold Wisconsin winters. It’s the season that most college students look forward to; the three months of the year when you aren’t dreading walking to class.
Record Routine: Wavves breathe life into pop-punk genre
(10/01/15 5:24am)
Wavves’ Nathan Williams is not ready to grow up. On the contrary, he seems to want nothing more than to Benjamin Button back to ninth grade where he can bask in all of his confused, bored, self-doubting teenage glory. Fortunately for us, this contradicting adult-teen-angst makes for fantastic songwriting, showcased in every pop-punk, noise rock infused minute of Wavves’ fifth installment, V.
