students and campus officials can do in the future to ensure
students' safety.

Associated Students of Madison recently announced the return of

Gov. Jim Doyle's plan to levy a tax on big oil without passing
on the cost to consumers seems to smell of political pandering, but
we feel it is justifiable to explore a tax on oil companies that
funds roads and schools.

Put down that beer and trade it for an ice cold soda—the new
alcohol policy brought forth by the Office of the Dean of Students
and the Student Organization Office looks to severely limit alcohol
consumption among student groups. At least that is what the
controversy makes it seem like so far.

It seems like common sense that a lawmaker entrusted with the
power to regulate the private sector should not be allowed to take
up a lucrative position lobbying for those very same industries
immediately after leaving office. Yet this very scenario has played
out over and over at all levels of government.

and university aid.

including the UW system, should be made a priority as part of
Wisconsin's 2007-2009 budget.

With increasing nationwide crackdowns on political corruption,
it seems hard to believe many interest groups still try to get
their way, but that is exactly the plan of Wisconsin Right to Life.
On June 30, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear the case of WRTL and
their fight to run a political advertisement against U.S. Sen. Russ
Feingold, D-Wis., shortly before the 2004 election. Unfortunately

as a useful measure in combating criminal activity, especially when

Associated Students of Madison has a strange idea of
""representative student government."" Apparently, ASM intends to
serve UW-Madison's student body by subverting UW System Policy and
weaseling banned money into a budget that strictly prohibits it.
ASM's decision to send its ""dirty"" budget to Chancellor John
Wiley illustrates the association's immaturity and Wiley's lack of
foresight regarding available office space.
