Nonfiscal items a budgetary burden
(04/16/09 6:00am)
In light of the disaster of the last state budget, which took 115 days over its allotted time to become law, state Sen. Mark Miller, D-Monona, and state Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Madison, have removed roughly half of the nonfiscal items from this year's budget proposal to make it more palatable from a bipartisan perspective. As the chairs of the Joint Committee on Finance, Miller and Pocan removed some nonfiscal items to be introduced in separate bills, leaving some non-fiscal items on the budget for the state Legislature to deliberate on.
Eagon, Maniaci for city council
(04/06/09 6:00am)
Without question, serving as District 8 alder in the large and impressive shadow of outgoing Ald. Eli Judge is not the most enviable position. Both Bryon Eagon and Mark Woulf, the two candidates for Judge's position, have made no secret about their respect for Judge and commitment to continuing his impressive work in students' issues such as downtown lighting and tenant rights. Although both candidates bring an impressive slate of ideas related to student and city concerns, only Bryon Eagon has the pragmatic and realistic approach to accomplish the focal points of his campaign. After meeting with both candidates, The Daily Cardinal Editorial Board reaffirms its earlier endorsement for Bryon Eagon in District 8.
Solidarity in student media
(03/06/09 6:00am)
On Wednesday morning, the entire editorial staff of the Daily Emerald—the independent student newspaper of the University of Oregon—went on strike in protest of the attempts of its board of directors to install a publisher with control over the paper's editorial content.
Letter to the Editor: Russell reaction not hasty
(02/17/09 6:00am)
Worker oppression and exploitation is not something we can ignore. It is our duty to use the power we have as consumers to monitor human-rights violations and hold companies accountable, especially those supplying UW-Madison with apparel. When Chancellor Martin terminated the university's contract with Russell Athletics, she struck a blow for workers' rights and demonstrated how our codes of conduct are more than just pieces of paper.
Juicy Campus beaten to a pulp
(02/10/09 6:00am)
On Feb. 5, Juicy Campus, the notorious college gossip website, shut down forever. Juicy Campus closed not because of alleged links with student suicides or belittling rape victims, but because of decreasing ad revenues in the face of the country's economic meltdown.

Judge-ment: eli will be missed
(12/05/08 6:00am)
On Monday, Ald. Eli Judge, District 8, announced he would not pursue a second term as alderman for his district on the Madison Common Council. Judge, a UW-Madison senior, plans to move on to law school rather than running for a second term representing District 8, an area of downtown Madison containing 98 percent of the student body.
Internal reform necessary for ASM
(05/01/08 6:00am)
Last week, 14 newly elected representatives of Associated Students of Madison's Student Council issued a press release proposing several reforms that, while short and unarticulated, appeared to represent a step in the right direction for an organization that has become disconnected with the student body. Since these proposed changes lacked details, The Daily Cardinal Editorial Board spoke with a number of newly elected ASM representatives on Monday.
Zimmermann will not be forgotten
(04/07/08 6:00am)
The death of Brittany Sue Zimmermann, a UW-Madison junior, marked the first student homicide in the downtown area since 1996. As a part of the UW-Madison community, she will be greatly missed by students and residents alike. The Madison community's response to the event has been nothing short of remarkable.
Contribute more to ISP initiative
(04/04/08 6:00am)
Among the Student Service Finance Committee elections and bylaw changes, the Campus Antiwar Network was able to add the Iraqi Student Project to the ASM spring polls.
Lukewarm for Wyndham
(04/01/08 6:00am)
Wyndham Manning is the best candidate to succeed Ashok Kumar as the Dane County District 5 Supervisor. He is neither a great candidate nor the lesser of two evils, but rather the better of two mediocres.

Strict sentences just
(04/19/07 6:00am)
Last semester, Marcus Bonner and two accomplices committed a brutal sexual assault on the 500 block of University Avenue, directly behind Ian's Pizza. Two men assaulted a 23-year-old woman while a third took pictures of the incident with his cell phone.
Letter to the Editor
(03/27/07 6:00am)
In a March 21 editorial, The Daily Cardinal Editorial Board referred to a ""recent disclosure of potential worker exploitation"" by Adidas, whom UW contracts for sportswear. This assumption, upon which the editorial was based, is false—the exploitation of workers in this case is not ""potential,"" and its disclosure is not ""recent.""

City responsible for patrolling langdon
(11/09/06 6:00am)
Langdon Street is dangerous on a weekend night. Hundreds of students stumble along the dimly lit sidewalks going to and from the parties held every weekend at fraternity houses along the street.
Call home for votes

They say hindsight is 20/20, but there may be no looking back on the Nov. 7 election for baby boomers whose political vision ages along with eyesight.
Deny funding for living wage
(10/30/06 6:00am)
Enjoying a Paul Bunyan Burger at Memorial Union: $4. Providing students with a living wage: $823,000. Watching Student Labor Action Coalition squirm as it fails to find funding to foot the Living Wage bill: Priceless.
Halloween: The aftermath
(10/29/06 6:00am)
At 2:00 a.m., pre-daylight savings time Sunday morning, the 500 Block of State Street looked like a bad case of dAcjA vu. A frenzied crowd of partiers alternatively chanted ""Fuck the police"" and ""We want tear gas"" while throwing chunks of pumpkin and debris from the street.
