Across the country, 24 states - including Wisconsins neighbors
Illinois and Minnesota - have passed statewide smoking bans.
Wisconsin, on the other hand, has failed to pass a similar
statewide ban every year since 2003. On Thursday, the Dane County
Board voted in favor of a county-wide smoking ban, placing greater
pressure on state lawmakers to realize the pressing need for a
uniform, statewide ban on public smoking.

Prepare yourself for a taste of the theocratic in the near
future. Nearly every election cycle, prominent church figures walk
a fine line between an Internal Revenue Service mandate and the
right to free speech when they begin to get political in their
pulpits. Despite the government's opposition to religious figures
endorsing candidates, the preachers are fighting back en
masse.

Have you ever appreciated the ease with which Madison allows its
college students to register for elections at the state and federal
level? Polling locations on or near campus demand little proof of
identity, hardly any hurdles and virtually no drawbacks or caveats
to engaging in the electoral process. In Virginia, however, local
authorities have complicated this democratic procedure,
specifically for the students of the Virginia Tech campus.

The athletic department has a recurring dream concerning student
section seating at Camp Randall. It's an Orwellian dream where
students uniformly file into their assigned section, and since Big
Brother is watching, students wouldn't dare sit somewhere other
than their assigned seat. Unfortunately, this hypothetical euphoria
doesn't translate to reality. In the real world, student seating is
never going to be perfect, and it's hard to imagine such a
situation.

As a result of the Dane County 911 Center's failing to return
Brittany Zimmermann's call for help, many more questions and issues
have been brought to light. One of the most important issues facing
the Madison Police Department is the student body's loss of faith
in the 911 system.

In light of both the Virginia Tech shootings and the Brittany
Zimmermann murder, UW-Madison officials have implemented the
WiscAlert-Text system to warn students of possible emergencies on
campus. The new text alert system was also influenced heavily by
the lack of communication during the Jesse Miller incident earlier
this academic year.

As the academic year comes to an end, thousands of students will
once again descend upon the Mifflin Street Block Party. As security
concerns increase, so does enforcement of necessary laws to ensure

Last week, 14 newly elected representatives of Associated
Students of Madison's Student Council issued a press release

Since these proposed changes lacked details, The Daily Cardinal
Editorial Board spoke with a number of newly elected ASM
representatives on Monday.
