After a resounding 54 point victory against Kennesaw State
Saturday—in which the Wisconsin men’s basketball team shot 15-25
from behind the arc and moved up one spot to No. 14 in the AP
Poll—the Badgers looked to pick up its second regular season win
against the Colgate Raiders of the Patriot League Wednesday.

In the possible lead-up to a recall election, State Sen. Randy
Hopper, R-Fond du Lac, is being accused of living outside his
district while carrying out an affair.

While the North Dakota Fighting Sioux looked stellar on the ice in
a series sweep of the Badgers last weekend, the hardwood should
tell a completely different tale as the Badgers play host to North
Dakota Tuesday night.

This Monday, the state Supreme Court reviewed a petition from the
State Bar of Wisconsin to grant judges more power to erase online
court records wherein either the case was dismissed or the suspect
acquitted. Ultimately, the court decided it should be up to
lawmakers in the state legislature, not the court. We feel any
erasure is an unnecessary measure that would only diminish the
transparency of the courts.

If possible, this review would start with the ""A-Team"" theme
song. Even people who have never seen an episode of the classic
'80s TV show recognize its signature music cue and cultural impact.
Whether that be the iconic image of Col. Hannibal Smith gnawing on
a cigar, the group's multitude of plans coming together or the fact
that Mr. T ain't getting on no airplane, ""The A-Team"" is 100
percent certified Americana. Because of this, it seems almost
pointless to introduce Smith, Faceman, B.A. and Murdock to a new
generation, but director Joe Carnahan seeks to do just that with
his new film adaptation.

You might not know it unless you keep up with the politics of
Madison's film scene, but avant-garde cinema is presently caught in
a curious position. This semester was one of the best in recent
memory for local lovers of experimental filmmaking, but the end of
Starlight Cinema threatens to make avant-garde films less available
to UW students than ever before.

Like most basketball fans, I've been watching plenty of the NBA
playoffs the last couple weeks. We've been treated to some good
games and some interesting series, but every year, especially
around the first round, I begin to voice to same complaints over
and over again: there are too many teams, too many games, the
postseason goes too long and the way the games are called becomes
frustrating. I still enjoy the playoffs, but there is so much wrong
with the current system. The structure needs an overhaul, with
several major changes needing to be implemented.

When you are a WHCA hockey team chasing the McNaughton Cup, like
this year's Badger squad, four-point weekends are supremely
beneficial, even necessary at times. Usually, in order to sweep a
conference opponent, one team must out play the other for a vast
majority of the 120 minutes of action in a series. At the Kohl
Center this weekend, Wisconsin separated itself from Minnesota
State by controlling play during penalty minutes, of which the two
teams racked up a combined 109. Put another way: The Badgers'
special teams units throttled the Mavericks this weekend, and UW is
still in the race for a league title because of it.

Animal Collective is a group of musical experimentalists who,
since their inception in 2000, have never lost sight of the fun
inherent in bending genre conventions. This four-person
(temporarily whittled down to three-person) band approaches
avant-garde indie pop not as a formal artistic task, but as
children playing with the toys they love best—which in their case
are indie pop, freak folk, tribal rhythms and Beach Boys-styled
harmonies. This is a group so musically adept that they can
significantly alter their sonic palate without losing their
identities. Yet they are not chameleons: It's not that they change
their character with each new release, they simply turn their
concerns toward a different but equally fulfilling corner of their
idiosyncratic world of pop.

After I read the article ""Race deserves no place in university
admissions"" in Tuesday's issue of The Daily Cardinal, I struggled
with how to explain the intent of the author. I was caught wholly
off-guard by the call for an end to affirmative action.

It's no secret: UW-Madison attracts such a broad and diverse
array of collegiate students for its promising educational
opportunities, incredible international achievements, indelible
sports legacy and a perfect city to spend four or five years.
However, the same fair city that attracts thousands of college
applicants every year is attracting other, less appealing
aspects—namely growing crime and safety concerns.

Todd Haynes' latest film, I'm Not There,"" is about Bob Dylan.
Well, most of them. To be exact, it's about seven Dylans, as played
by six different actors. Ignoring structural conventions, Haynes
tells the story of Bob Dylan during his peak of cultural influence
- the 1960s and '70s - through real, false and rumored accounts.
With six different actors playing the different public personas of
Dylan, the film jumps back and forth between the various events in
his life and phases of his personal development.

Coming off a bye weekend during which several top players went
to Sweden and back, the Wisconsin Badger women's hockey team will
have to come together and face off against one of the best teams in
the nation.

Living in a culture saturated with celebrity coverage, it's
normal for us to know the diets of people who live thousands of
miles away. The downside of this lifestyle is we neglect obsessing
over the minute details of historical celebrities who left their
mark on culture long before Entertainment Tonight began to prep the
masses for rational discourse on Anna Nicole. To rectify this
inequity, I will give a run-through of the eating habits of some of
history's most memorable characters.
