On Man beaten in home invasion

First of all Mark is no more innocent than these other 3 men. Yeah this time he was the victim, but in the past he was the one calling the shots and has no problems making threats to others.

I am pleased that these 3 men did get caught. We don't need "lil punks" out in our streets of Janesville, it just disappoints me that Mark or "Frosty", as many people know him as, will return home and continue to deal drugs, take peoples money, and make threats to others as if nothing happened.

As far as his roommates go, I would have sat there doing nothing as well (being quiet and hoping I didn't get beat) cause they all know that he would never lift a finger to help them out. That is how their world works. Actually I take that back because I would never get involved with people like this. I just know of this situation from others who are wrapped up in this crap.

On UW-Madison sees applications drop

I personally think that students are realizing that UW-Madison is not all that it is made up to be. Students are being wise by trying to save money attending one of Wisconsin other great UW campuses that cost far less. As a college student I have attended UW-Rock County, UW-Whitewater, and now UW-Madison. I honestly think that UW-Rock County gave me the best educational experience, and I would have to say that it was the toughest too. Since the school has smaller class sizes and students get more one on one attention, the professors expect a lot more out of a person compared to the other two campuses I have attended. I also recieved that great education for a lot less. If I could have stayed there to complete my degree I would have. The fact of the matter is, students are realizing the other options they have in the UW system. Unless UW-Madison starts offering it's undergraduate students something that these other campuses can not, other than the badgers, there is really no reason to pay more when you can recieve the same or better education experience somewhere else for A LOT less.
