As I approach the day when I'll stand in my blue gown, getting my B.A. in B.S., with a rolled-up piece of paper in my hand, I continuously replay the last four years of my life. I laugh, I smile, I cringe. It's kind of like trying to watch an episode of ""South Park"" in your living room with your parents and your grandma.
The state Assembly failed on a 47-47 vote early Friday morning to take up a resolution aiming to remove a state representative who was charged three times in one year for driving while intoxicated.
The Wisconsin Film Festival will be held through Sunday. Below, Daily Cardinal staffers preview a few highly anticipated films.
Someone once said that college is an adventure and only you hold the map that shows the path to success. That ""someone"" was an ex-con turned motivational speaker who completed two hours of his court-ordered community service by speaking at my eighth grade graduation. Despite his teardrop tattoo and missing fingers, I took the advice of Henry ""T-Bone"" Watkins to heart; he was genuine and emphatic and said anyone who didn't listen to his advice ""IS GONNA GET STABBED.""

The past few weeks, accusations of anti-Semitism have been lobbed back and forth across campus. Whether it is the Alpha Epsilon Pi scandal or the Bradley Smith Holocaust-denier ad, recent events have shown that the UW Jewish community is far from immune to the ugliness of discrimination and hatred, even in supposedly progressive Madison. In the wake of these controversies, it makes some past comments of District 5 county board candidate Michael Johnson even more disconcerting.
This is the year the Badgers go to the Elite Eight, and I'll tell you why.
Spring Break. The big ol' SB. Could also stand for Sun Burns, Sexy Bods, or Skimpy Bikinis. And sometimes, to our dismay, (dun dun dunnn)—Sagging Bums.
It seems like every year around February or March people make the claim that it's the worst time of year. I've heard everything: burnout from school, the not-quite-winter-but-not-quite-spring weather, winter sports winding down, and even that they just hate Valentine's Day with a fiery passion. I, however, love this time of year for one simple reason: shitty movies. Yes, this time of year is perfect for studios to pump out their corny formula comedies or awful book adaptations for audiences who don't know any better. I'm a bit of a film buff myself, and a little research produced some quite surprising news. It appears that UW-Madison itself has been an inspiration for many of these subpar films that come out this time of year. I included titles and summaries from nine of the best ones below:
Something must have clicked in the minds of Frightened Rabbit over the last two years, because their latest album, The Winter of Mixed Drinks, is one wrecking ball of a challenge compared to their previous two LPs. Only traces of their immature but always entertaining witticisms of old (""You're the shit, and I'm knee deep in it,"" ""You must be a masochist to love a modern leper on his last leg,"" etc.) remain, which always kept listeners singing along in amusement as their traditional songwriting prevented anyone from getting lost. Gone are the days of the Scottish group sitting in a bar drinking bourbon too expensive for their own good and stretching ironically affecting lyrics every which way as they stand on the sturdy legs of their natural melodic sensibilities. They are now drowning themselves in a bottle of cheap whiskey while wallowing in an undercurrent of self-pity, trying to fight the urge to extinguish hope. But nobody should be surprised that they pull it off.
There are a group of individuals on campus who are a part of a long standing tradition at this university. They often wake the rooster up in the morning and burn the midnight oil at night. They are college students like us while at the same time wearing the uniform proudly. Some do it to pay for college, others because they are carrying on a family tradition, but they all have one thing in common: an unmatched sense of purpose, duty and direction that many of us only dream of one day achieving.

Spanish train company Talgo will operate from the former Tower Automotive to build the new high-speed rail lines and is expected to create 125 new jobs in Milwaukee, the company announced Tuesday.
During his playing days, now three decades past, Wisconsin head coach Mike Eaves responded to concussions the way most athletes of the time did: he played through them, figuring a simple headache was no reason to miss action. Today, however, Eaves can draw on personal experience and modern medical knowledge from the team's doctors as he monitors the status of senior forward Blake Geoffrion.
Last week, the female-oriented cable network Oxygen decided that once a week was just not enough of ""The Bad Girls Club,"" so much to my delight, they ran a marathon. Episode after episode of sexually frustrated, trashy, drunk women. Quality entertainment. But then... I realized: ""The Bad Girl's Club"" is pretty much my life on TV. It's like someone has sneakily been watching me over the last 21 years and thought, ""Wow. This kind of shit needs to be on TV!"" And thus, the show was born.
I'm a senior who needs to figure out a place to live next year. What are some of the various advantages to the different living options around the campus area?
Last week the Dane County Board of Supervisors took up its old habit of sticking its nose where it doesn't belong. When voting to endorse the impeachment of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney in 2007, the Dane County Board showed they couldn't care less about wasting time on issues in which they have absolutely no role. Now they have decided to pry into UW-Madison primate research. Twenty supervisors, including the board's District 5 student representative Wyndham Manning, are questioning the ability of the university's All Campus Animal Care and Use Committee to objectively supervise the university's research efforts.
After nearly two decades on the music scene, Finnish quintet HIM still knows how to churn out some catchy tunes. Oddly, the ""heartagram"" symbol that vocalist Ville Valo trademarked has become more well-known than the band's music. Not surprisingly, one may attribute the heartagram's notoriety to the commercial success professional skater and ""Jackass"" Bam Margera has enjoyed, since Valo gifted trademark rights to his longtime friend.
Music has acquired a unique place in our society's hypermedia atmosphere. Audiences are segmented in more ways than you can fold a single sheet of paper, and mainstream markets borrow or buy trendy sensibilities only after a year or two of sustained appeal. There's no better time to interpret this (i.e. trends) than in the most-valued arena for media exposure our country experiences: the Super Bowl.
Before embarking on this article, I wish to make a statement about what I will be referring to as ""our culture."" I am choosing to engage with the culture that is widely propagated via our mass media, but surely is not the only culture in America. Yet, as the dominant culture, almost everyone in the U.S. is subject to its reaches, and it would be a mistake to dismiss this way of life as just one amongst many. As a white, middle-class male, I am inherently a part of this dominant culture, and I will engage with it here.
