CARDINAL OFFICE OPEN HOUSE

10 a.m. - 3 p.m.  Relive your Cardinal days and meet today's staff in their natural habitat -- the Cardinal's Vilas Hall offices. The equipment may have changed somewhat, but the atmosphere is still the Cardinal you remember: young journalists fearlessly sifting and winnowing to find the truth.

GALA CELEBRATION

7:30 - 11 p.m. at The Orpheum Theater

Wish the Cardinal a happy birthday with drinks and dancing at one of Madison's most unique venues, the Orpheum! There will be a silent auction of art and photography to benefit the Cardinal's scholarship funds. Meet old friends and raise a toast to the Cardinal's next 120 years.

There are other events planned on campus to coincide with the anniversary. More details on those will follow.

Please consider organizing an informal gathering for your colleagues on Saturday afternoon at the bar or venue of your choice.

All events will be held in Madison Wisconsin
