(12/05/12 6:25am)
Where was the last place you bought a book? If you’re blanking on the “when,” you might be better off skipping the question entirely.

'The Cradle Will Rock,' will rock you
(12/05/12 6:15am)
“The Cradle Will Rock,” a fantastically produced show put on by University Theater, managed to carry a comedic tone while still addressing the serious theme of the fall of Wall Street during the Great Depression. The story takes place during the late 1930s in Steeltown, USA. It jumps between the present and past lives of those in the justly named “Liberty Committee,” the Committee’s leader, Mr. Mister, and those who are affected by Mister’s great wealth and power—beginning with Moll, the “hooker with the heart of gold,” who’s just trying to make a decent living in hard times.
A few flicks left to top off films of 2012
(12/04/12 4:57am)
Even with a few weeks to go in 2012, it is pretty safe to say that people will look back at this year and realize that it was one hell of a time for movies.
It’s the end of Jaime’s world as she knows it
(12/04/12 3:32am)
This is the end. Or the end is near… something like that. With the rumored Mayan apocalypse scheduled to take place a mere five days after my Dec. 16 graduation date, those statements may have a functional purpose whether Doomsday hits the rest of the world or not.
Wisconsin vs. Nebraska: Keys to the game
(12/01/12 11:33pm)
INDIANAPOLIS—When No. 14 Nebraska (10-2 overall, 7-1 Big Ten) and Wisconsin (7-5, 4-4) square off here tonight, an appearance in the Rose Bowl will be on the line. The Badgers have made the trip to Pasadena, Calif. and lost each of the last two years, while the Cornhuskers—previously of the Big 12 Conference—have made just two appearances in school history, losing to Stanford in 1941 and Miami in 2002.
Column: BCS system flawed in its limiting of conference representation
(11/28/12 3:41pm)
The Badgers have understandably received, and will continue to receive, jabs from college-football experts for “backing into” their current position: Despite a 4-4 Big Ten record, Wisconsin is just one win away from a third consecutive conference championship and Rose Bowl berth. The Badgers are in this situation, of course, because the Big Ten champion receives an automatic trip to Pasadena. Quite frankly, I don’t have an issue with the Bowl Championship Series’ rule that all six BCS “power conference” champions ensure themselves a spot in one of five BCS games. While a playoff setup would be preferable, I can respect a system that rewards teams in the postseason for winning their conference during the regular season.
Women's Hockey: Badger women sign five new skaters
(11/22/12 3:29pm)
The rich got richer on national signing day as the Wisconsin women's hockey team signed five new skaters to national letters of intent. The class is comprised of Melissa Channell (Oakville, Ontario), Sydney McKibbon (Oakville, Ontario), Sarah Nurse (Hamilton, Ontario), Annie Pankowski (Laguna Hills, Calif.), and Jenny Ryan (Victor, N.Y.)
Student group receives state, national attention
(11/19/12 8:13am)
The University of Wisconsin-Madison made state and national news last week after a student government committee granted an atheist organization the largest funding amount of a group of its type on any college campus in the country.
College athletes should not be paid unless it is for education
(11/08/12 4:24am)
It’s not a new story, but it seems as though there is no escaping the constant struggle for money. And the question of whether college athletes should be paid is about one story away from being as burned out as Ryan Leaf. Seeing as how there has been an article in The Daily Cardinal this year addressing the issue already, I feel it’s my responsibility to test just how close we are to beating the question to a pulp.
Wilde reflections on the soul of society: a literary classic in review
(11/05/12 2:37am)
Everybody has that one type of friend—the one who’s a little self-serving, a little cruel, a little too smart for his own good. In the case of Dorian Gray in Oscar Wilde’s classic, “The Picture of Dorian Gray,” this friend happens to be Lord Henry Wotton, a smooth-talking and devilishly intelligent member of London high society.
How the cinematic West was adapted
(11/01/12 4:10am)
There’s nothing more American than the Western. Well, other than apple pie. And baseball. And eagles. And democracy. And the Statue of Liberty. And more eagles.
Over 33,000 fill State Street for Freakfest
(10/29/12 7:19am)
Although more than 33,000 people attended this year’s Freakfest, violent incidents and arrests within the event remained relatively low and isolated.
The student-state tuition dilemma
(10/23/12 7:53am)
University of Wisconsin-Madison sophomore Amber Cypcar works four days each week at Gordon Commons and nearly 40 hours a week at Buffalo Wild Wings in her hometown during semester breaks. But instead of spending her money on State Street shopping sprees or eating at expensive restaurants, she saves money to pay for her entire college education.
Candidate Romney still an enigma
(10/23/12 2:53am)
Aweek ago today, a reinvigorated President Barack Obama came into the second presidential debate swinging. Polls reveal that a slight majority of Americans who watched the debate last week thought the president won. Last night, the president and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney had their final debate, sparring over foreign policy.
Football: Wisconsin holds on to Paul Bunyan's Axe for ninth straight year
(10/20/12 11:37pm)
The Wisconsin Badgers (3-1 Big Ten, 6-2 overall) run game catapulted the team to victory yet again, but this time the team has Paul Bunyan’s Axe to show for it for the ninth straight season.
Senior class aims for sweep

Let’s talk about Nick Cave for a moment.
Embracing in-yo-face campaigning
(10/16/12 4:04am)
OK, so I know that being a cable-less person in college may render me incapable to complain about the onslaught of political ads being thrown my way, but believe me, those people are cree-ay-tive with their marketing even without the use of TV, as many of you—OK probably all of you—know all too well.
Don't vote for a third party
(10/16/12 3:29am)
If Anderson Cooper’s eyes were a city, they would be Madison. This city is about as full of liberals as it is drunk people. I think it’s important however that we maintain perspective by exposing ourselves to conservative viewpoints. To do this, I make sure to always read the work of my fellow Daily Cardinal opinion writer Steven Nemcek. Last week he wrote on why he believes Gary Johnson is the best choice for president. After reading this piece and doing some more research, I was rather impressed with Gov. Johnson. As a liberal, I do not agree with him on everything, but he does seem admirably devoted to social progress and quite capable of dealing with our economic situation. The man appears to be a very reasonable choice to lead our country. That is why I am asking everyone to not vote for Gary Johnson.
Clock ticking for costume picking
(10/14/12 10:45pm)
It’s officially midterms, the second busiest part of the semester. The extra hours of studying have been wearing me down so much, I’ve neglected one of my most sacred October traditions: I still haven’t figured out what I’m going to be for Halloween this year.
