Over the last month, a group of drooling, passionate and eerily
determined "safety first!" hound-dogs have barked up UW-Madison's
tree for more formalized survival plans when an inevitable disaster
annihilates campus.

The same guy who requested Planned Parenthoods across Wisconsin be
drained of state and federal Maternal and Child Health funds is now
on a mission to green light civil lawsuits against underage
drinkers. Yup, state Rep. Andrew Jacque, R-Bellevue, helped author
a bill that permits licensed liquor establishments to sue underage
drinkers $1,000, all in the name of-according to a quote by Jacque
in The Badger Herald-curbing a "problem that pervades our culture
in epidemic proportions and deserves a vigorous response."

According to Wisconsin state law, a candidate subject to a recall
election is allowed the unique privilege to solicit an unlimited
amount of money for their campaign until an official recall
election date is set. Created to balance the scale by allowing a
candidate to circumvent normal campaign finance laws in a somewhat
abnormal election, the law gives representatives some form of
monetary defense in what many may classify as an unanticipated
election.

Last week, incredible efforts were made to restrain the use of
particular identification cards across Wisconsin. Thursday, the
Government Accountability Board overturned what was to be a new
rule allowing the use of stickers on university IDs that would make
them eligible in elections. The weekend following,
Wandos Bar and Johnny O's Sports Lounge experimented
with a new rule restricting acceptable forms of identification to
drivers' licenses and passports in an effort to curb the use of
fake IDs from underage students.

The Associated Students of Madison is having a rough month. Since
new leadership took over in the summer, ASM gave birth
to a somewhat heretical student government and in turn received
harsh but justified criticisms from members of the 17th session.
Former ASM Chair Brandon Williams even tweeted, ""It
might just be me, but the @asmstudentgovt is starting
to look and feel a lot like the WISPIRG office. Take
it or leave it."" While bold, the tweet is probably
true.

This year, the city and UW-Madison officials are going buck wild in
their attempts to curb alcohol consumption among university
students on and off campus. First, Mayor Paul Soglin
introduced a Nuisance Party Ordinance that has the potential to put
students on a ""chronic nuisance list."" Then, he
voiced his plans to halt the 2012 Mifflin Street Block Party, and
now Dean of Students Lori Berquam looks to wean UW
students off of Old Thompson's teat through the initiation of
alcohol awareness seminars.

From the moment former U.S. Sen. Russ
Feingold, D-Wis., said in an e-mail
message to supporters of Progressive United, ""While I may seek
elective office again someday, I have decided not to run for public
office during 2012,"" thousands of hearts across Wisconsin
shattered into millions upon billions upon trillions of pieces.

Starting your college years at the heart of Wisconsin undoubtedly
has its perks. You are now an official badger privileged enough to
""Jump Around"" at Camp Randall Stadium and get obscenely drunk
four or five nights of the week while continuing to impress Grandpa
Joe and Grandma Jane for attending Wisconsin's flagship
university.

Chancellor Biddy Martin just can't catch a break when it comes to
the New Badger Partnership. After she attracted support from major
student leaders across campus, Martin was left with the daunting
task of capturing the heart of one of Wisconsin's most intransigent
politicians to date—Gov. Scott Walker. Fortunately for Martin, the
idea of the partnership was established even before Walker came to
office. And to Martin's delight, Walker released a 2011- '13
biennial budget containing all the statutory language needed to
grant UW-Madison more autonomy under—much to the UW System's
surprise and dismay—a public authority model.

It comes as no surprise that Madison school districts are
suffering. Public schools throughout the city struggle with a
severe lack of state funding that only adds to the lack of
authority figures—fueling the ideology of students who just don't
give a shit. And when you combine this lack of resources and
educational programs with a student attitude that cares little
about achievement, you get the perfect recipe for a continual
decrease in graduation rates.

Kids can be cruel. Not only will they proudly point out your flaws
with ease, but their three-second attention span makes them forget
what they said before you have the chance to make a desperate
comeback. And while you may have a little extra arm fat than the
average individual, talking sense into children requires continual
effort and determination.

There isn't a better student organization capable of annoying
students through constant reminders of social quandaries and group
objectives than WISPIRG. The Wisconsin Student Public Interest
Research Group's passion for lobbying government through grassroots
campaigning makes its primarily ""green"" mission well-known across
the UW-Madison campus. And while I could do without the little red
flyer and signature clipboard being thrown in my face every time I
stroll through Library Mall, I can't deny that the stream of
information provided to students through WISPIRG makes it a
valuable resource on campus.

Oops, he did it again! State Rep. Jeff Wood, I-Chippewa Falls,
wound up in a situation he knew all too well: Stumbling feet, a set
of car keys, an unsympathetic police officer and a blood alcohol
content well over .08 percent. No, he wasn't tripping through the
stands, jingling his keys while the stadium police were in hot
pursuit at the Ohio State game; instead he was being issued a
fourth OWI in a squad car ride to the Marathon County police
station.

Just when we thought Wisconsin took a progressive step in a cleaner
and healthier direction, Puff the Magic Dragon and his friend Camel
Joe publically announced their plans to repeal the newly enacted
Wisconsin smoking ban. Republican candidates for Governor, Scott
Walker and Rep. Mark Neumann, have made it quite clear in their
campaigns they consider the smoking ban an unnecessary barrier
within the economy. While there are questions about whether Walker
consistently contested the ban or if opponent Neumann inspired his
open opposition, the important issue shouldn't revolve petty ""he
said, he said"" debates but rather the sole fact that these
candidates aim to lift the ban at all.
