Enjoying a Paul Bunyan Burger at Memorial Union: $4. Providing students with a living wage: $823,000. Watching Student Labor Action Coalition squirm as it fails to find funding to foot the Living Wage bill: Priceless.
Similar to the unclear future of the wage increase for student workers, implementation of the heavily campaigned Student Union Initiative, a Wisconsin Union renovation project funded by student segregated fees, is now questionable as well.
A mugger armed with a glass bottle attacked a man on the 400 block of North Murray Street Sunday night, less than a block from Library Mall.
Eventually the winning streak had to end, and the same team that Wisconsin began their winning streak against ended it. Wisconsin tied Minnesota 3-3 Sunday after the Badgers beat the Gophers 3-1 Saturday. Now the 19-game winning streak becomes a 20-game unbeaten streak.
Allison wasn't a fan of 2005, so she vowed that 2006 would be nothing short of spectacular. In fact, this year has been so fabulous, Allison forgot that she will be graduating in December. She doesn't seem to care that she double-majored in political science and history, any job will suffice, just as long as she can read US Weekly. Oh, and it should probably have health insurance, too.
After losing 2-1 to No. 16 Missouri Friday night, the Wisconsin women's soccer team looked at its match against Kentucky Sunday as a must-win. Judging by its dominant performance against the Wildcats, the team certainly took that fact to heart.
Airtight defense and confidence-building measures abounded in the performance of the Wisconsin football team Saturday afternoon. The Badgers (3-0) scored a 14-0 victory at Camp Randall Stadium, one week before their much-anticipated opener in Big Ten play.
The lobby of a dorm on move-in day is the eighth circle of hell. It's hot, it's sticky, parents are screaming, there's no water to quench your thirst and your fate (meaning, whether you get that laundry cart and how fast you get on that elevator) is in the hands of someone in red who cackles devilishly at you as he takes your ID card.
Coming off a confidence-building 11-0 rout of Illinois-Chicago, the UW softball team (4-8 Big Ten, 20-19 overall) has a big weekend ahead of them against conference rivals Penn State and Ohio State. If the Badgers are going to make a charge towards the Big Ten Tournament, the time is now to start winning some big games.
This weekend, April 28-30:What: Brothers Past concert
Dressed in rainbow-colored T-shirts, adults, children and students from UW-Madison as well as several Wisconsin high schools marched from Library Mall to the Capitol Wednesday for a rally to recognize the 10th annual Day of Silence.
Upon entering Laundry 101, the crisp, refreshing smell of clean clothes fills the air. Customers lounge on tall bar stools reading, watching the television screens over head, and sipping on their favorite drink, enjoying a light snack. The time it takes to wash a large load of whites seems to fly by.
An early display from the Wisconsin football team was in full swing Saturday afternoon at Camp Randall Stadium, where the spring workouts concluded with an annual game featuring largely the first team against second team on both sides of the ball.

Move over crossword puzzles. More and more students are starting to discover a quirky number game called Sudoku to keep themselves busy during class.
Kjersti has probably the coolest name ever. Too bad not even her Scandinavian professors can come to a consensus on its pronunciation. Similar to Kiersti\ (but not quite) Ms. Kyle's name was picked by her ""crazy"" Grandma Signe. If you haven't already realized that Kjersti is a Scandinavian studies major, well, she is. Her goal is to study abroad in Norway next year, and it ""has nothing to do with gnomes."" Kjersti is actually a huge fan of Scandinavian folk music. Well, let us know if the next Väsen album is any good, because you know how the kids love to rock out to the nyckelharpa.\
On most days, Alan gets up at the crack of dawn to teach young minds and learn what it means to be a teacher to the 13 to 18 set. A bit different than the 'grab a latte on the way to History 275' habits that he's gotten used to. Before he graduates, Alan is learning to make the most of his time at UW-Madison. The DC caught him readying himself for the crazy weekend that is known as the SWEIO convention. Apparently, that includes many, many glass boots on the way to the convention hall. Bottoms up to all that 'education'!
No one is shocked to see Thad Matta's No. 12 Ohio State Buckeyes (7-3 Big Ten, 18-3 overall) near the top of the Big Ten standings. The surprise is that Matta has his team just a half game out of the conference lead this season.
I listen to music while I walk and my trip to class is approximately three songs long. Thanks to a schedule filled with holes, I end up walking either to or from Vilas approximately four times per day. Some quick math will tell you that I have the opportunity to listen to 12 songs during my daily treks across campus.
I will always remember that scorching Wednesday last August when I visited my friend in The Big Apple. It was my first time in New York and while the birds chirped, cab horns honked and a withered old man in blue and white L.L. Bean bibs introduced me to his 70-pound, 3-foot-tall Persian greyhound Rupert, Grasser (a friend of mine) and I walked down Broadway to check out Times Square.
