It is still the first week of classes and already stress is causing headaches and sleep deprivation.

Looking for some relaxation? The Tunes at Monona Terrace Concert Series offers a chance to take a breather from high stress classes, enjoy a wide variety of music from local artists, and best of all, it is totally free.
Abortion: the one topic that appears to have no compromises. A seemingly unbridgeable gap stands between those desiring that everything be permitted and those wishing that any form of abortion be abolished. Roe v. Wade was decided 30 years ago when medicine could say very little about the state of the fetus in the months leading up to birth; this is no longer true. The scientific discoveries since 1973 necessitate a rethinking of abortion.
The always controversial Crandon Mine is once again in the headlines. Gordon Connor, head of the Northern Wisconsin Resource Group, recently purchased the mine. State Rep.

In the weeks before war broke out, the Security Council chamber of the United Nations was a scene of debate for issues of dim concern to world peace-such trivialities as small arms in West Africa dominated Council discussions. France, one of five nations seated in prominence at the Security Council, assured that any discussion of war with Iraq was left out of the Council chambers.
Warfare is a savagery that has long inflicted suffering upon the innocence of man. And still, its evil need not be boundless. Because of international action the landmine, which used to kill 20,000 people a year, no longer harms so many. We should look to landmine-regulation as an example while we continue to target other inhumane weapons like cluster bombs.
