The Board of Regents will vote Thursday on proposed revisions to the UW System conduct rules that could allow universities within the system to punish students for severe off-campus misbehavior.
PAVE (Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment) was saddened by the editorial titled ""Don't Forget Victims of False Rape Accusations"" by Pierce Harlan and E. Steven Berkimer that appeared in the Daily Cardinal on April 30. The remarks in this article were very harmful to our campus community.
Last week, students and UW campus leaders came together for a forum titled ""In the Wake: Plan 2008."" In this particular instance, a ""wake"" seems a fitting word to call it, considering Plan 2008 collapsed under its own high expectations.
Hello friends!
Tomorrow, Dane County residents will have the opportunity to elect their county executive. The incumbent, Kathleen Falk, will be running for an unprecedented fourth term, while challenger Nancy Mistele is attempting to dislodge the resilient Falk. Unfortunately for Dane County, both Falk and Mistele are not particularly well-suited candidates for the position of county executive. However, if voters must pick one of them, we may as well pick the stronger of the two. Given their views and intentions, the better candidate in this race is Kathleen Falk.
Controversy has been buzzing recently in the hood and on the streets of Madison as allegations that 90s reggae and rap star Ini Kamoze has information about UW men's basketball operations of which head coach Bo Ryan is unaware. In a collection of works published by the self-proclaimed lyrical gangster in 1994, Kamoze stated on a number of occasions that he knows what Bo don't know,"" though the nature and sensitivity of the knowledge in question is vague at best.
Well, I hope everybody had a nice break. With the economy and everything, I suppose lots of folks had to scale things back a bit, but I hope you at least made it to Kalahari for an afternoon. My break was OK. I mean, it was going really well, with loads of hot chicks and tons of fun in the sun and shots all around. But then one day mid-break I made the mistake of turning on the TV. Dazed from hours in the mid-March sun, I mindlessly surfed my way up into the 40s, which never ends well, as the Great Cable Channel Desert begins with Lifetime at 29. Anyway, not thinking properly, I paused for just a moment on the History Channel and got a big dose of Debbie Downer when I found out the world's going to end in 2012.
This past weekend, along with countless other nerds, lemmings and unwilling significant others, I watched ""Watchmen."" Although most of my thoughts about the movie are uninteresting and vague, one particular gripe stands out: the song selection for the sex scene. I am not alone in this complaint, either. Many reviewers, including The Daily Cardinal's own Danny Gottlieb, agree that Zach Snyder & Co. would be hard pressed to find a more cliché, awkward or disappointing choice than Leonard Cohen's original recording of ""Hallelujah.""
Before I wrote all of my Oscar columns, I felt a responsibility to my readers to see each and every film I wrote about. Although I ended up short of my goal (who wants to watch The Reader"" anyway?), I still managed to watch most of the major contenders, and was able to make an educated commentary on each of them.
Dear Career Services Liaison,
Critics of the domestic-partner benefits proposal in Gov. Jim Doyle's budget are challenging its constitutionality in light of the 2006 constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.

Members of the UW-Madison Faculty Senate met Monday and debated varying levels of amendments to the draft of the 2009-2014 UW-Madison strategic framework.
Over the past few weeks, I have been listening, in small doses, to the Christmas radio station, 94.9 FM. I'm curious as to how this awful phenomenon not only survives, but begins at an earlier date each November. While I don't have a definitive answer to that question, I have noticed that there are really only five types of songs played on the holiday station.
Lawyers for State Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman reacted Wednesday to the Judicial Commission's complaint that alleges one of his ads attacking former Justice Louis Butler was misleading.
Hollow, scripted and uninformed. These were the three words that first came to mind as I watched that horrendous spectacle known as the vice presidential debate. Questions were avoided and meaningless statements were thrown out. The culprit? Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Her responses had less foundation than a blanket on a McDonald's ball pit.
Mind going numb... eyelids dropping... saliva collecting at the corner of your mouth about to spill out and form a puddle of drool to the disgust of your neighbors. For the love of Bucky, when will it end?!
Spending some time on the Isthmus before things start to get witch-titty cold has helped to remind me why the hell humans habitate here in the first place. But lakes and drunks aside, I think my favorite part about escaping to Madison in the fall is the demographics.
Some seniors might vaguely recall being a newly braces-free freshman, walking past University Square and staring longingly at the 21+ crowd who packed Madhatters every Friday afternoon for their famed Friday After Class drink special.
As a genre, the American horror movie has been dead for some time. It's hard to remember the last seriously unnerving American horror movie (The only two worthwhile recent horror flicks being Great Britain's The Descent"" and Spain's ""The Orphanage."").
