The Internet improves accessibility of cinema
The Internet age has created a period of unprecedented openness in the arts. Works that were previously impossible for the masses to check out are now readily available, at least as reproductions. This proliferation of artworks is by no means a uniquely contemporary phenomenon—just ask Walter Benjamin, whose ""The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction,"" first published in 1935, remains the definitive text on the confrontation between the arts and popular technology. Indeed, most of Benjamin's arguments from that essay are today regarded as axiomatic, most notably his thesis that as technology gets more sophisticated, the arts get sluttier.

Spring (upon and) Break (the Irish’s back)
To the untrained eye, the annual calendaring of Spring Break would seem as arbitrary a system as Scanner Dan has to his heckling targets, no doubt an illusion the powers that be would like to maintain. In truth, that bearded bum is far more impartial than the Board of Regents who set our schedule. Through a painstaking investigation, this journalist finds that in the eight Spring Breaks falling between the years of 2004 and 2011, no less that five coincide with St. Patrick's Day, a ""coincidence"" which in effect outsources the celebration of this critical holiday to spring break locales across the continent instead of allowing them to take place anywhere near the ""progressive"" confines of our beloved campus. Although few students would consider this near-perennial placement of the holiday suspect, the nine days of nothingness surrounding this sacred celebration of Irish culture betrays a systematic effort on the part of this University to suppress and suffocate the cultural identity and general will to live among its Irish members.
Las Vegas is Spring Break King for foodies
Many Spring-Breakers flock to the coasts each March in hopes of soaking up sun, consuming a large number of tropical beverages and hitting on scantily clad college students.

Early voting and same day registration ideal for student voters
Election Day 2008 is fast approaching. With less than a week left, voters across the country are ready to make the all-important trip to the polls. As students here at UW-Madison get ready for Election Day, we should be thankful we live in a state with early voting and same day registration.
Three-pronged running attack creates nightmares for defenses
It's not especially rare for a college football team to possess a dynamic pair of running backs. Darren McFadden and Felix Jones formed a nightmarish ground attack recently for Arkansas while, last week's shameful performance aside, Clemson's senior James Davis and junior C.J. Spiller may be the NCAA's most-feared current tandem. On a note more relevant to Wisconsin football, memories of Laurence Maroney and Marion Barber in Minnesota are still making Big Ten defensive coordinators scream in their sleep.
