By Dave Heller | Apr. 21, 2009

Last week, MTV dropped its much-anticipated bombshell with the premiere of ""College Life,"" filmed right here at UW-Madison. Without going into too much detail, we saw an edited and chronologically inaccurate compilation of partying, relationship trouble and problems assimilating to the local culture, all through the stories of four freshmen.

Complex topics left in ‘state’ of disarray

By Molly Reppen and Emma Roller | Apr. 20, 2009

""State of Play"" is a terrible movie with an amazingly astute marketing strategy. By shamelessly pandering to media luddites with nostalgia-inducing montages of a reporter's life, it softened the hearts of some of the most jaded film critics (it made A.O. Scott cry, for God's sake). Although the movie itself fails to intelligently show the lack of objectivity in reporting today, perhaps the critical response it has received does exactly that.

Obama’s rail plan will help Midwest economy

By Ryan Dashek | Apr. 20, 2009

Nearly one in ten people are out of a job, according to the Department of Workforce Development, which stated that the unemployment rate in Wisconsin hit 9.4 percent in March, from 8.8 percent in February. This is higher than the national unemployment rate, which reached 9 percent in March. These are obviously very dire economic times for both Wisconsin and the entire nation, but recently President Obama revealed his strategy to introduce high-speed rail to the nation. His plan included a list of 10 top projects. On his list was a Midwest line that would link Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison and the Twin Cities to other major Midwestern cities. Many politicians believe supporting such an idea will not only relieve congested highways and airways but also help by supplying a much-needed boost to the slumping economy.
