This week we’re talking about dormcest. It’s way less creepy than incest, but there is also less famous literature about it (“As I Lay Dying,” anyone?). When bunches of young adults looking to “find themselves” are crammed in the same living space for nine months, dormcest becomes inevitable. Context clues probably make this obvious, but “dormcest” is a made up term (not by me, by someone who is not me) that refers to the hooking up of individuals who inhabit the same university dormitory (in the biggest dorms, the term “floorcest” is more fitting). As budding young freshmen taking on campus for the first time, more than one of us most likely dreamed of meeting a special someone in our dorm or on our floor. It’s hard not to fantasize about the convenience and charm that would come with casually running into a cutie pie whilst wrapped in a towel (*gasp* so embarrassing and unintentional, *wink, wink, giggle, giggle*), or exchanging glances while studying in the den. But, what started as flirting and fun can sometimes transform into constant avoidance and hurt feelings. There is no reason not to get jiggy with fellow dorm dwellers, but there are a few tricks of the trade to help avoid turning dorms into walk-in skeleton closets.

In Wisconsin’s 77-61 loss to Marquette Sunday, the Badgers (3-4) showed that the only consistent aspect of this 2015 team is they are wildly inconsistent.

The Badgers (3-3) expanded on a positive 1-1 showing in a pair of extremely close games on their road trip to San Diego last weekend, pulling out a gritty 64-51 win over Wake Forest (5-2) Wednesday in the Big Ten/ACC challenge.

The last time the Wisconsin Badgers (2-3) played the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (5-1) was 1992. The Badgers lost by 26 in Madison. Boyz II Men’s “End of the Road” was the top song of the year and “The Silence of the Lambs”won the Oscar for Best Picture. But this time around, the Badgers hope their road trip to Winston-Salem marks the end of their losing road, and the beginning of their winning one.

As an environmental educator, I struggle with explaining the urgency of global climate change. One way of communicating this to students, I have found, is to liken climate change to a cancer. And as the Paris climate meeting approaches we need to address this cancer.

The end of anything is perhaps as inevitable as the beginning of another—everything, at some point or another, comes to an end. Be it natural or forced, ends are one of the most inevitable things we can always count on. They’re either a savior from monotony, a respite from misery or a source of grief for something long gone and that we once held dear. Endings are as much a real part of our world and who we are as perhaps the world itself. And so, as we enter the last month, preparing ourselves for the end of 2015, we’re all left asking ourselves questions that obviously concern no one but us: What does this end mean for us?

Aaron Rodgers’ performance on the podium postgame this past Sunday was much better than his performance on the field. For those who don’t know what I am talking about, I am specifically mentioning Rodgers’ comment denouncing an anti-Islamic slur yelled during a moment of silence to honor the victims of the attacks in France before Green Bay took the field. In a time where the lives of athletes are often dissected and ridiculed due to many negative off-field incidents, it is important to recognize and acknowledge the positive actions of many athletes in the face of tragedies and bigotry.

Elephant Revival: It sounds like one of the many commonly obscure band names you hear every day, but their performance was far from common. While the “revival” half of the band’s name most likely refers to the folk-revival they embody, it took on a new meaning at the Majestic Friday night as their jovial romp revived a room of souls, once thought to be long-dead under the pressures of jobs and midterms.

Paris. That word does not resonate the same way that it did before Nov. 14, 2015. A terrorist attack believed to be orchestrated by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) killed more than 120 people at six different locations outside of the capital by suicide bombs, as well as shootings.

Despite starting its season opener with an energized ceremonial tribute to last years men’s basketball squad, the No. 17 Wisconsin Badgers (0-1) received the misfortunes associated with Friday the 13th and fell 69-67 to the Western Illinois Leathernecks (1-0).

Days ago, the World Health Organization released findings in which processed meats were categorized as Group 1 carcinogens to humans, the same ranking that is given to asbestos and cigarettes. Additionally, the WHO released findings that people who regularly eat red meat are 18 percent more likely to contract colorectal cancer.

Debt. Unemployment. Banking. Refugees. The list of words that preface “crisis” in Europe could go on for days. While some radical political groups that blame their respective countries’ problems on the institutions of Europe stealing their sovereignty have gained more of an audience, it is highly unlikely that integration in Europe is too strong. Rather, the European Union (EU) and its fellow institutions are too weak. Perversely, Germany is preventing their strengthening. By that measure alone, the EU is close to failure. The EU has its origins in the aftermath of World War II. It was created as supranational authority governing a common market—to serve as check on Germany. After two world wars blamed on Germany, the institution would control the regional market for goods that were essential to the war effort, thus preventing the unilateral rise of Germany and its military.

Chances are this Hallow’s Eve resulted in “hooking up” for bunches of Badgers. Whether that hooking up involved snogging a Scooby Doo, boning a skeleton or making a kitty say “meow” is up to interpretation.
