Daily Cardinal Editoral Board Endorsements

Obama deserves another four years in office:

Ejections ruin game experience

Badger gamedays are one of the most treasured traditions here at UW-Madison, but it has come to this editorial board’s attention that the sudden enforcement of a seating policy may be threatening students’ ability to enjoy the games.

PETA, despite reputation, could be useful on campus

We have all heard the stories of the extremes members of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have gone to in order to turn heads and call attention to incidents they determine to be animal cruelty. So upon learning of PETA’s accusations that a UW-Madison animal research lab violated animal welfare laws while using cats to perform brain experiments, many of our initial reactions were to question the legitimacy of the claims. But while the group is controversial and sometimes disruptive, we welcome its insight onto our campus.

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK

Support proposed ASM constitution

Tonight, the Associated Students of Madison will raise their hands for or against a special election centered on the approval of a new ASM constitution—a document designed to restructure the function and make-up of UW-Madison’s student government. But before this Board jumps into the nitty gritty, let us just say, while it is highly unlikely, we are crossing our fingers that student council approves.

Retaining value by utilizing technology

About two weeks ago, The Princeton Review released a report ranking UW-Madison the fifth-highest-valued public university in the country-in other words, a steal of a deal. Sitting just behind the State University of New York-Binghamton, New College of Florida, the University of Virginia and the country's number one best deal, the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, UW-Madison's tuition, despite budget cuts, is relatively low compared to Big Ten schools across the country.

Thank you for the secrecy

Fake News Friday: Student committee forms to rename SSFC out of laziness

In a world where most students' priorities are grades and beer, one group of students is solving a problem nobody cares about with a bold solution no one on campus asked for.

ASM needs new constitution, student input

What is the ultimate purpose of the Associated Students of Madison? How does a UW-Madison student government benefit the student community? And more importantly, why should we care?

Delving into The Daily Cardinal's history

December 12, 1990

Dear Russ Feingold

We are a little bit worried about this recall, and we are not alone. All you hear across this campus and across this city is that maybe organizers will get enough signatures to initiate a recall election, but there is nobody who can take down Scott Walker. For all of his critics, Walker also has loyal fans with very deep pockets, and that is a major factor in a race where campaign finance regulations are thrown out the window. He may not be well liked, but Walker certainly is feared. Unfortunately, that fear may be powerful enough to derail this whole effort.

The high cost of training ASM

The Daily Cardinal Editorial Board recently met with ASM members to discuss their upcoming internal budget, especially the request for $100,000 to fund a series of internal training sessions-we were not impressed.

Letter: In defense of ASM

I would like to comment on the article titled ""ASM still too focused on itself"" by the Daily Cardinal Editorial Board, specifically on the very last sentence of the article which says, ""…and all we can do is watch and scoff at these low-brow actions and hope that some logic and rationale lifts ASM out of its primarily self-serving operations."" This sentence is tragically ironic for two reasons: 1) the article was published on the start of the ASM Fall Elections, and 2) it was conveniently placed on the same page as an ASM Fall Election advertisement in the print version. The article's closing sentence blatantly disregards the opportunity of action presented in the form of election.
