Yeah, when they started the website they put up a lot of their old covers. I'm 99% sure that was from the fall of '94 because I remember my roommate's mom getting offended upon seeing it up in our floor lounge.

i am always a little amazed by how many fucking UWisc campuses there are --- like it's weird how it even affects how ppl talk about it, if you told someone that you went to the university of wisconsin you'd just get a blank look.
i want to say that california has a bigger system (they must, they have to), but i think for real that sconny is in the running

Wisconsin has fewer than Univeristy of California, but California also has the separate California State University system.

The University of Wisconsin system merged with the Wisconsin State University system in 1971 to create today's University of Wisconsin System. The 1971 merger law approved by the State Senate combined the two higher education systems in Wisconsin under a single Board of Regents, creating a system with 13 universities, 14 (now 13) freshman-sophomore centers (now colleges), and a statewide extension with offices in all 72 counties.

Just unstoppable these days:
Romney Apologizes To Nation's 150 Million 'Starving, Filthy Beggars'
SALT LAKE CITY—Seeking to limit the fallout from a videotaped speech in which he asserts 47 percent of Americans “pay no taxes” and do not take “personal responsibility and care for their lives,” Mitt Romney hastily called a press conference today to apologize personally to the “150 million starving, filthy beggars (he) might have offended.”
Saying that he deeply regretted his choice of words at a private $50,000-a-plate fundraising function in May—during which he argued “(his) job is not to worry” about the lower-earning half of the nation’s populace—Romney personally appealed to the country’s “dirt-caked garbage pickers and toothless street urchins” for forgiveness.
“First and foremost, I would like to offer a heartfelt apology to all the whores, junkies, bums, and grime-covered derelicts out there who make up nearly half our nation,” a visibly contrite and solemn Romney said outside a campaign stop at a local high school. “Let me assure you that I in no way meant to offend any of the putrid-smelling, barefoot masses out there. My campaign is not about dividing this nation, but about bringing all sides together—the rich, elegant members of the upper class, as well as the 47 percent who are covered in flies and eat directly from back-alley dumpsters.”
