The question can be phrased in different ways: Some universities ask about whether prospective applicants have been convicted of a misdemeanor. Others ask about academic violations or if you have a pending sexual offense charge.
Passed out on a stranger’s bathroom floor. Stumbling down the street, held up by friends. Leaning over a plastic Walgreens bag in an Uber. Images most college students have witnessed—or personally experienced—during a night out.
UW-Madison has a reputation of being a renowned university academically, both nationally and globally, and attracts students of many different identities, personalities, and backgrounds. We have also obtained a reputation as being a school with a huge party atmosphere and earlier this year the Princeton Review named us the top party school in the nation. While this may be true, in my two years on campus I have met plenty of people who, for a plethora of reasons, choose not to drink.
I remember my first time in Wisconsin, when I was surprised to discover something different about the grocery store. When I found an aisle solely dedicated to liquor, I was genuinely surprised, as I had never seen such a thing back home. It was that moment when I realized Wisconsin is very different from where I come from. Unfortunately, it seems to possess a very universal problem across college campuses throughout this nation—substance abuse.
After graduation, where will you be?
We—the members of the Associated Students of Madison Grant Allocations Committee— have spent the last year funding over 300 Registered Student Organizations to host events, travel to conferences and sustain a yearly budget.
Much to the chagrin of many Americans and people across the globe, President Donald Trump has steadfastly maintained his campaign promises during his first days in office. He signed seven executive orders during his first week as president, many of them systematically checking off promises he made along the campaign trail.
New leadership often brings a new set of policies that seek to improve the conditions of the nation. One of the most recent controversies that arose from the policies under the Trump administration in our country is regarding the travel ban against Muslims with origins in certain nations, who supposedly present a threat to our national security. This policy reflects the increasingly outrageous hostility toward immigrants and foreigners present in the national atmosphere that makes me worry whether such policies may benefit us overall.
Among a myriad of other injustices, the overall health of our nation faces stomach-sinking danger, and the threats to U.S. sexual, reproductive and women’s health are substantial. But we, as students at UW-Madison, are in a privileged position to access services and education to protect our minds and bodies and it will become increasingly important to protect and support them as threats to public health rise.
President Donald Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch to fill the vacant seat in the Supreme Court. Trump’s pick, if confirmed, will have a long-lasting impact on the trajectory of the country; the Supreme Court holds an enormous amount of power and almost all big changes made in our country will pass through them. They have had the final say in multiple landmark decisions in our country, including Brown v. Board of Education (invalidated racial segregation in schools), Roe v. Wade (legalized abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy), Bush v. Gore (handed George W. Bush the presidency) and King v. Burwell (upheld major provisions of the Affordable Care Act). This list goes on and will continue to grow with the changing times.
What, among the media industry, attracts attention most in our society? Action? Love? Conflict? Resolution? In my experience, people are drawn to anything that moves their emotions. While this is incredibly multifaceted, the conceptual theme is more or less the same. Stories gain public attention when they are labeled as moving, exciting, powerful, important, etc.
Remember first learning about the Holocaust? Whether you had a parent explain it to you, or a guest speaker at school, it was surreal. It’s rare that something can penetrate the hearts and minds of young kids, to strip away from them their immature nature and make them really think seriously. Wasn’t this how we all reacted to hearing about the Holocaust? Dead seriousness. I don’t remember anybody goofing around or making jokes in school, or myself wanting to go outside and play rather than hear about it. It transcends youth, immaturity and innocence. On a visceral level, as a young kid you realize the magnitude of it. As a result my first question, and I’m sure I wasn’t alone, was why did people let this happen?
Imagine a world where characteristics that make us “different” are invisible. Race, gender, sexual orientation and religion are all inconceivable. Instead, what one sees in another is pure equality.
Many people can push their mind or body to the limit, but very few people can push their mind and body past their breaking point and continue moving forward.
Life is a culmination of indescribable virtue and value regardless of gender, appearance, race or age. Because of its importance, our society often demands the essentiality of reproduction. However, as countries develop and the standard of living climbs, people are beginning to choose to have less children. According to The Economist, people are not reproducing enough to create a stable successive generation or to have a smooth population transition. The frustration toward the changing view of human reproduction often takes an ironic turn, and oppresses the people who are not at fault.
Discouraging. Disturbing. Disrespectful. Disgusting. These are a few words used by the Committee on Student Organizations and the international fraternity Sigma Chi to describe the recent actions of UW-Madison’s chapter of the fraternity.
It’s no secret: There is a strong divide between urban and rural Wisconsin, between Madison and Milwaukee and the rest of Wisconsin. And recently, the divide has only been growing.
This coming week, Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the president of the United States. His road to the White House has been a long and rocky one, but to the shock of many Americans and people around the world, Jan. 20 he will be sworn into the Oval Office.
Let me take a moment of your valuable time to talk about memes.
UW-Madison’s spring course guide has been available for more than two months, but some legislators recently raised concerns about next semester’s offerings, particularly about an African languages and literature class called “The Problem of Whiteness.”
