Influenza. When you normally think about this illness, you
picture an annoying sore throat accompanied by a mild fever and
head congestion. The current variant of this infection, swine flu,
has been receiving considerable attention, now considered nearly a
pandemic. The responses to swine flu range from humor to concern
with some Mifflin-goers donning masks in the midst of resonating
caution as the illness continues to spread across the world.

For many University of Wisconsin students is a bit of a
reprieve—at least, for our livers. After just finishing up another
Mifflin Street Block Party, many students will of course be
celebrating the Mexican army's 1862 defeat of French forces in the
Battle of Puebla tomorrow (or Cinco de Mayo, in case your history
is a bit rusty). Either way, an integral part of both celebrations
is most typically alcohol, which of course includes beer.

Without question, serving as District 8 alder in the large and
impressive shadow of outgoing Ald. Eli Judge is not the most
enviable position. Both Bryon Eagon and Mark Woulf, the two
candidates for Judge's position, have made no secret about their
respect for Judge and commitment to continuing his impressive work
in students' issues such as downtown lighting and tenant rights.
Although both candidates bring an impressive slate of ideas related
to student and city concerns, only Bryon Eagon has the pragmatic
and realistic approach to accomplish the focal points of his
campaign. After meeting with both candidates, The Daily Cardinal
Editorial Board reaffirms its earlier endorsement for Bryon Eagon
in District 8.

I stayed in Madison for spring break, and besides having a very
wonderful and relaxing break, I was first exposed to Chocolate
Shoppe ice cream. You know, the place on State and Gilman with the
crazy cow in its emblem.

With the recent activity in the political sphere, it appears
many politicians are dying to get capital punishment banned at the
federal level in the United States. In light of New Mexico Gov.
Bill Richardson's decision to repeal capital punishment in New
Mexico, Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., is re-introducing legislation
to eliminate the death penalty in the United States, a policy
already in place in Wisconsin. In fact, Wisconsin has only executed
one inmate in its 160-year history. New Mexico became the 15th
state to outlaw capital punishment and the third state in the last
two years to do so after New Jersey and New York.

As its monocle-with-top-hat mascot suggests, the New Yorker is a
snooty magazine. Its weirdly avant-garde comics suggest
sophisticated"" humor beyond the comprehension of us normal plebes,
and its densely written theater reviews add a touch of bourgeois to
any magazine rack.

The storm clouds are churning slowly above 1 S. Park St., site
of the Madison Surgery Center. Why? Someone said the a"" word. No,
not that ""a"" word - the other one: abortion. Last week, a group
of physicians from UW Hospital and its partner Meriter Hospital
proposed to open a second-trimester abortion clinic in the Madison
Surgery Center. Their proposal garnered immediate public outcry
from community members, students and politicians, both for and
against the proposed clinic.
