A common refrain I hear from Hillary Clinton supporters is that even if the country could somehow muster the will to put Bernie Sanders into the Oval Office, nothing would ever get done because Republicans would block Sanders’ ultra-liberal policy proposals at every turn. Admittedly, I understand where these people are coming from. For people who think the government can and should play a more active role in bettering people’s lives by ensuring health care as a right for all citizens, making college universally affordable and reigning in the power of the wealthiest Americans to control the political process, Sanders is exactly the person upon whom we should bestow the presidency. On the other hand, for those in Congress possessing wildly different notions of what government should do on behalf of the people, i.e., Republicans, a Sanders win on 2016’s election night would undoubtedly presage a precipitous drop in legislative productivity.

The official motto of the State of Wisconsin is “Forward.” As a word, it suggests an entity with a positive vision for the future. However, it is impossible for Wisconsin to be “Forward” if it persists with excluding forward-looking policy.

As an environmental educator, I struggle with explaining the urgency of global climate change. One way of communicating this to students, I have found, is to liken climate change to a cancer. And as the Paris climate meeting approaches we need to address this cancer.

With Thanksgiving break now over, it is crunch time at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. As students, we are bombarded with opinions and ideas of how to best study for finals, write papers and succeed in general. We are told to “Plan ahead!” “Start early!” “Get plenty of sleep!” “Eat healthy!” and “Exercise!” This advice can be very useful, but only the most talented of individuals are capable of consistently doing all of these things. Additionally, even if you precisely follow all of this advice you are still not guaranteed success, and frankly, I am sick of hearing these same things all the time. I think it is quite clear that certain people are more easily stressed out than others, and that at certain times even the calmest of people can be overwhelmed by anxiety. I think of the standard advice as very effective stress prevention, but not efficient stress reduction. At this time of year, I think it is safe to say that most people are feeling at least a small amount of anxiety, and, therefore, the standard advice won’t be of much value.

Families across the country gather at the Thanksgiving table every year, heads bowed and hands joined, taking a moment in their hectic lives to be thankful for the things they have in life. However, this tone of humility and thankfulness is quickly overridden by the sales and chaos of Black Friday.

Before we dive headfirst into this endeavor, I must give you one warning: I am not a coffee drinker, I have never been a coffee drinker and I most likely will never be a coffee drinker. I have no bone to pick with coffee drinkers, and I myself quite enjoy the smell of the coffee aisle at your local grocery store. However, the following information may leave you reconsidering drinking your daily latte.

A liberal arts education, which includes humanities and STEM areas of study, can be found at large institutions such as UW-Madison.
(12/01/15 5:15am)
As a student at UW-Madison, you’ve likely heard time and time again about the value of a liberal arts education. Faculty speak about the idea of a liberal arts education as if it is some kind of divine concept that is omnipresent in every curriculum, classroom and heart of each student. What exactly is a liberal arts education? What makes it so desirable over other forms of education?

Brandy Melville markets their clothing as “one size fits all,” when in reality this may not be true.
(12/01/15 5:10am)
Comfortable. Cozy. Soft. Trendy. Casual. Stylish. Cute. These are all words that my peers replied with when I asked them about the popular female clothing brand, Brandy Melville. This brand has gained an insane amount of popularity in the last year. The products are, in my opinion, just as described—a socially acceptable way to wear pajamas outside.

Wisconsin voter ID law has fluctuated over the past few years. Currently an ID is required to vote.
(11/30/15 12:34am)
Whether or not certain Wisconsinites have the right to vote has been unclear ever since Voter ID laws were put in place for the first time more than four years ago. From then on, the laws have been in flux, with voter ID requirements being proven unconstitutional by a Dane County Circuit Court judge, then reinstated by a federal appeals court, then blocked by the U.S. Supreme Court, and finally reestablished as state law this past spring.

State Rep. Jesse Kremer, R-Kewaskum, and Sen. Devin LeMahieu, R-Oostburg, are currently attempting to push a reactionary and inflammatory bill through the Wisconsin state Legislature that would allow students to carry concealed firearms inside of university buildings. With the rise of tragedies involving gun violence at schools, this bill poses a grave threat to our students and faculty in not only an emergency scenario, but also in the day-to-day routine of classes. Allowing students, staff and visitors to carry concealed weapons inside of university buildings is irresponsible, and a risk that we can’t afford to take for a series of unproven “safety” benefits.

In light of the terrorist attacks in Paris, conservative America chomped at the bit to try and use the tragedy to rationalize why we shouldn’t invite Syrian refugees into our nation. Without waiting for all of the details of the horrific event to come out (including the fact that the attacks were primarily executed by European nationals), conservatives had already made up their minds that opening our country to refugees is to invite the Islamic State to our doorstep.

One may call it a kind of social movement; they call themselves futurists. These self-acclaimed futurists say that they look at life with a perspective which they consider to be five to 10 years ahead of the everyday human being. They’re fascinated by the cutting edges of technology, and many of them are also fascinated with the idea of bridging technology and the human body.
