News - The Daily Cardinal

Recently I was in the dormitory bathroom when I heard a voice from a nearby shower stall say, ""Oh man, that calc exam was so gay."" Usually I'm too groggy and inattentive in the morning, but upon hearing this I was totally awake and instantly thought, ""WAIT! What?"" Whenever I hear ""gay"" used in this context I get upset. Repeatedly I ask myself what is it that makes people think it's acceptable to use ""gay"" as a synonym for ""stupid,"" demeaning an entire community?

One day after last Tuesday's election, Gov. Jim Doyle halted work on the $810 million high-speed rail project — believing the rail can't move forward when the state and Washington D.C. are not cooperating partners. With this suspension, Doyle made the right choice considering the poor state of Wisconsin's current economic status.
