Longest rivalry in NCAA D-IA continues
(10/12/06 6:00am)
This weekend's game will be special for a variety of reasons. It's Wisconsin's homecoming and Bucky Badger promises to be in the highest of spirits with all the festivities before and after game time. Also, Wisconsin cracked the AP Top 25 Poll for the first time this season, and the upcoming weeks will be crucial for keeping the team's postseason hopes alive. However, none of these circumstances quite compare to the magnitude of what's at stake this Saturday: that heavy piece of artillery, Paul Bunyan's Axe.

My prof makes more than yours
(09/26/06 6:00am)
The typical university student is surrounded by financial jargon and buzzwords as they maneuver through his or her college years. By the end of four years, students know that professors are paid obscenely high salaries, parking costs are impossible and segregated fees are why we all have to eat Ramen. All these topics sound familiar enough, but upon further investigation, the average student's knowledge about the actual facts surrounding these issues is minimal at best.

Neo-Nazis shut down Capitol Square with weekend rally
(08/30/06 6:00am)
Standing on the steps of the Capitol, behind several barricades and dozens of police in full body armor, 64 members of the neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement declared victory Saturday. To the approximately 800 protesters in attendance, the results of the Minneapolis-based group's rally were not so clear-cut. Protestors greeted the neo-Nazis with cheers such as, ""Racist, sexist, anti-gay, neo-Nazis, go away"" and signs reading, ""Follow your leader, Kill yourself."" The announced purpose of the rally was to denounce illegal immigration and the U.S. ""open borders policy,"" but the underlying theme was little different from that of every neo-Nazi gathering. Most of the rallying National Socialists wore brown long-sleeved shirts and red swastika armbands reminiscent of Adolf Hitler. For protestors of the rally, who tried to shout down the National Socialists from nearly a block away, Saturday offered a chance to rally the troops. ""We are coming to show with our numbers and with our voices that their kind of hate is not welcomed in Madison,"" said Jesse Zarley of the No Nazis in Madison Coalition. ""We are standing up for the communities they are targeting, and the main message is to drown out their message of hate."" Neo-Nazis were scant among the general crowd, but one supporter of the rally argued with protestors, screaming, ""This is my home too."" Although some protesters opposed the neo-Nazis receiving a permit to rally, most believed it was their First Amendment right and were instead protesting the views of the Socialist Movement. ""Denying them a permit makes them free speech martyrs,"" Zarley said. ""Since they have the free speech to say what they are saying, we have the free speech to say that we don't agree."" The rally wavered between serious and comical and, at one point, a group of men dressed in pink rabbit costumes began protesting. ""We figured that when else can pink bunnies walk around the Capitol and not be the most ridiculous group there,"" said Mike Quieto, who was in full costume. According to the Capitol Police, which staffed more than 300 uniformed officers, the rally had the potential to turn violent, but ended in only five arrests. ""From a police-perspective this event was a tremendous success,"" Capitol Police Chief David Heinle said. ""The event started and ended on time, and we have no reports of personal injury or property damage.""
Financial success for only five bucks a cup

As a student attending the No. 1 party school in the country, you have probably been to your fair share of house parties and are now a seasoned veteran. Never again will you consider drinking Beast Light out of a red plastic cup in a stranger's basement to be a fun weekend activity. But if you've never thrown a house party yourself, you may not have thought about one of the biggest components of this college ritual—money.

Cardinal View: parking permits vital to safety
(04/26/06 6:00am)
We were not surprised when UW-Madison Transportation Services announced moped drivers would soon be paying to park on campus. In the last year, we have seen the implementation of a wide scale moped management program including limited parking spaces and the issuance of citations for those not following the new rules. All of these steps are fair and necessary for transportation safety and efficiency.
