Donald Trump’s hair and the big orange person it sits on top of were on television again. As many of us know, Trump’s hair has been conducting investigations on President Barack Obama’s past in an effort to prove he was not born in America. The wispy blond strands made news two weeks ago when the person underneath them announced he would write a check for $5 million to a charity of Obama’s choice if the president released his college records and passport paperwork.

Absent from the whole drive: senior running back Montee Ball.

Members of the Mifflin Neighborhood Association agreed Thursday that University of Wisconsin-Madison students and administration should play a bigger role in planning the 2013 Mifflin Street Block Party.
