Freakfest Revisited: An all too familiar play
(10/28/10 6:00am)
Note to readers: Refer back to this column after celebrating your Halloween weekend. You may indeed find these scenarios eerily familiar. Madison Freakfest does have the tendency to create such a feeling.
Increase support for LGBT community
(10/10/10 6:00am)
The incidences of bullying against and suicide among LGBT youth has been brought to the forefront of media coverage in the past few weeks, and though this prominence will hopefully lead to more awareness and community support, it is worrisome to note the decline in coverage after these events took place.
Dorm debates: a cause worth fighting for
(06/28/10 6:00am)
The ongoing debate over the ultimate college experience continues to inspire death matches across campus. Badgers throughout Madison argue and defend the seemingly rat-infested pit that is Witte or the first-class, ritzy hotel that is Smith (where are the bell men?) against the students who find comfort in the small, almost hobbit-hole homes that make up the Lakeshore neighborhood.
Fighting freshman fifteen
(06/02/10 6:00am)
I remember exactly what kind of kid I was before coming to college. Thoughts of parties, beer and women constantly floated through my head in the days leading up to move-in. Picture a young Van Wilder, but paler. Back then, I was a mere 120 lbs of lean, mean partying potential.
Alcohol banned for entire Mifflin weekend
(04/29/10 6:00am)
In a brash and controversial move regarding tomorrow's Mifflin Street Block Party, the school's favorite binge-drinking holiday, the city of Madison has banned the sale of alcohol from today through Sunday. The decision, based on the standard fears of arrests, vandalism, deaths and injuries related to mass alcohol consumption, will certainly have severe implications toward the partygoing community. Ned Cheever, 87, of City Hall, one of the people who voted for this year's drying-out of Mifflin, explained their decision.
Face-eating zombies rampant on campus
(04/15/10 6:00am)
If in the unlikely chance you're reading this, PANIC! ABANDON ALL HOPE! Drop this paper and run like that Kenyan track star! Why!? It seems our friends down at the genetics department have really screwed the pooch with their latest top-secret research. Early today, during some hush-hush human testing projects involving building smarter, faster and unquestioning humans for the U.S. Army, hundreds of their specimens overcame the feebly built researchers and escaped from the genetics building. The catch? The test itself recently went horribly wrong, and the fugitives just so happened to be face-eating zombies. To be blunt, we've got more Jason Bourne-like zombies streaming out of that building than your everyday Justin Bieber concert.
Choose your own adventure: College edition
(04/12/10 6:00am)
Someone once said that college is an adventure and only you hold the map that shows the path to success. That ""someone"" was an ex-con turned motivational speaker who completed two hours of his court-ordered community service by speaking at my eighth grade graduation. Despite his teardrop tattoo and missing fingers, I took the advice of Henry ""T-Bone"" Watkins to heart; he was genuine and emphatic and said anyone who didn't listen to his advice ""IS GONNA GET STABBED.""

College ready with no senior year?
(03/16/10 6:00am)
Friday night football games, skip days, prom, applying to colleges . These are typical highlights that make the senior year of high school most memorable. However, while some kick up the effort a notch for this final year, others bask in thoughts of graduation and essentially take the academic year off.

No need to bulldoze Gordon Commons yet
(12/07/09 6:00am)
Most students here are familiar with Gordon Commons. Regardless of your love-hate relationship with University Housing, you have to admit it's a homey place to relax during free time. Well, fun at Pop's Club and Ed's Express will soon come to an end, as UW plans to tear down the building this upcoming summer. Even if you look at the upcoming project glazed with rosy assumptions, the $34 million project is probably unnecessary.
This campus could use a few improvements
(11/03/09 6:00am)
I'm relatively sure most students would agree that as gorgeous and wonderful as our campus is, it could benefit from a pretty serious makeover.
Talking with freshmen, so you don't have to
(09/04/09 6:00am)
With my head out the window of my pimped-out Hyundai, I caught my first few breaths of that fresh Madison air last weekend. The sun was shining in that perfect way, where with the right pair of shades everything seemed to please my eager eyes, including the fresh supply of Madison women. I cringed slightly as I slowed down near Witte, and the bittersweet thoughts of my freshman housing experience came crawling into my head. From what I remember of my first week of freshman year, it was a time full of bat-shit crazy roomates, awkward, sweaty frat rushes and insatiable thirst. It was Welcome Week.

Film delivers powerful image of desolate lifestyles
(04/24/09 6:00am)
Questioning life's meaning has become cliché, a question that people ask in order to demonstrate that some questions lack easy answers. Matteo Garrone's ""Gomorrah,"" however, has an emphatic response—under some circumstances, life has no meaning.
