James Baughman, who spent more than 30 years as a journalism professor and instructor at UW-Madison, died Saturday morning from lung cancer at the age of 64.
With 2016 being a major election year, it's nearly impossible to go a day without hearing or consuming political news of some sort. As college students, this time is especially important, because for many of us it marks the first time being able to vote in a presidential election.
In 2014, The Daily Cardinal first set forth on a series of three topic-focused issues, which we dubbed the “Action Project.” These issues explored diversity at UW-Madison, dissected the value of a college degree and delved into areas of sustainability both campus and citywide. Two years later, we’re tackling this project again.
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, 79, was found dead Saturday while on vacation at a Texas ranch, according to a statement by Chief Justice John Roberts.
Welcome back to campus, and welcome to an exciting semester at The Daily Cardinal. Whether you’re a longtime reader or just picking up our newspaper for the first time, you are joining us at a significant point in our 123-year history.
The end of the fall semester is upon us, and between exams and final papers these next couple weeks are chaotic for everyone. Even if you’re an avid reader of The Daily Cardinal, academic stress and increasingly cold weather may have caused you to forget about our newspaper’s big transition.

Handing the keys off
Bone Thugs-n-Harmony once famously rapped in 1995, “See you at the crossroads (crossroads).” It referred to the conjunction between life and death, the place where Bone Thugs paid tribute to their recently deceased mentor, Eazy-E.
When the final buzzer sounded and the Badgers fell just one win short of immortality, basketball fans around the country were distraught. Even as the favorite going into the game, impartial fans were cheering almost exclusively for Wisconsin. But why?
I didn’t think I would come to accept the Badgers’ title game loss to Duke as quickly as I did. It’s only been a week now, but Wisconsin’s defeat to one of the most hated teams in college basketball seems like a distant memory.
I’ve always thought of The Masters as the unofficial start to golf season. The “tradition unlike any other” is full of slightly overweight, middle-aged white guys competing in the sport’s most prestigious tournament, with an ugly green jacket awarded to the victor. Doesn’t that get you pumped?
With a trip to the Final Four on the line, Wisconsin and Arizona traded blows as a junior forward’s offensive outburst powered the Badgers to the next round.
The Badgers entered the 2014-’15 season with the highest expectations in program history. A team fresh off a Final Four appearance that lost only one major contributor will create that hype.
Nine games after the NBA trade deadline, it would be easy to criticize the Bucks’ deal that sent leading scorer Brandon Knight to Phoenix in a three-team swap.
Despite finishing a mediocre eighth place as a team, Wisconsin wrestling claimed an individual conference champion at this weekend’s Big Ten Championships in Columbus, Ohio.
