The Mifflin 'Don't Go' Video Debacle

Okay, if you are on campus you probably know everything about what is going on.  I'm writing this for those who are confused about parts of the issue or wants to know a student's reaction.  You can read up on the issue at the Badger Herald and the Daily Cardinal (the two student newspapers).  I also recommend, if you don't already know, finding out what Mifflin is.    

Summary:  Mifflin is a large street block party that takes place on the first Saturday in May.  It originally began as part of the many anti Vietnam war protests.  It was later used as a community fundraiser.  The common activities include bands playing on porches and balconies, food, and students drinking during the day.  It is one of the largest street block parties in the United States.  It is the second largest student event at the UW; the biggest is the State Street Halloween Party.

Hello,

I guess you can call me Nicki.  No, it isn't my real name but due to my Greek heritage (I'm also Italian) my dad has joked that I should of been named that.  I think you can understand why I'm not sharing my real identity.  Anywho, blogging is one of my hobbies and I wanted a place to share my experiences.  I'll probably not blog too much until I study abroad next year, which is the main reason to make this blog.  [I do have another blog under a different profile, but it is a niche topic.]  I'm currently an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin - Madison.  I welcome questions from potential badgers.  Although, I am not officially associated from the University.  On the other hand, some of you might prefer an independent source.  I like to take pictures around campus, so I'll try to include those.  Thank you for reading!
