The UW-Madison Police Department bid farewell to their chief of 25 years, Sue Riseling, at the end of this past spring semester. Stepping into her shoes for the time being is Brian Bridges, an officer in his fourth decade with the force. Bridges is no stranger to campus law enforcement, having worked at UW-Eau Claire before coming to UW-Madison. Bridges has no intention of remaining chief?the future permanent chief will be chosen by the university from a pool of applicants from all over the nation, most likely in November or December of this year?and will return to assistant chief status once one is selected. For the time being, he will lead UWPD during the busy fall season of Badger game days and Halloween. He sat down with The Daily Cardinal to discuss his plans for handling these events and other common occurrences, and what he expects from this semester.
It was early evening in Green Bay, Wis. and it had turned into a cool late summer night, but inside a packed Lambeau Field things were beginning to heat up.
By some miraculous act of God, Christian Boutwell, sports editor of LSU’s Daily Reveille, was able to get a phone to work in the Bayou and have a conversation with me about the Tigers' upcoming bout against UW. Jokes aside, I was able to pick Christian’s brain about LSU and got some fantastic insight about the Tigers and their clash with the Badgers. From Leonard Fournette to the Lambeau Leap, from Dave Aranda to the SEC-B10 rivalry, Christian hit it all.
College football is officially back, which means the race for a Big Ten title is technically anyone’s to win (yes, even you, Purdue). There is no shortage of intriguing storylines heading into the year. Can Jim Harbaugh lead Michigan to its first conference title since 2004? Will Ohio State be able to stay in the national title picture despite only returning three starters? Can Michigan State win back-to-back Big Ten titles for the first time in 50 years? Will Iowa prove that 2015 was no fluke? Which team will capture the conference crown and earn the right to be steamrolled by Alabama in the College Football Playoff? All those questions and more will begin to be answered when Big Ten football gets back into full swing this weekend.
There’s no sense in sugarcoating it: Wisconsin’s new football uniforms are an absolute dud.
CLEVELAND—Scattered through the streets of Cleveland, students in favor of Donald Trump have continued to make their presence known during the Republican National Convention.
For many convention-goers, the upcoming Republican and Democratic National Conventions will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. For UW-Madison political science professor Byron Shafer, the trip will be quite familiar.
If you’re sitting in J, you deserve a standing ovation for managing to hide how drunk you are from security. You probably went to your cousin’s place on Regent, did four too many beer bongs and wandered into the stadium around halftime. This is the drunkest of sections and definitely the worst. If your plan is to watch the football game, don’t sit in J. You’ve been warned.
For many of you incoming freshmen, going to Camp Randall on September 10 will be your first taste of Badger football, at least in person. However, even for seniors like me, this season feels new, because for the first time, there will be a starting quarterback other than Joel Stave.
Although I was raised to be a Badger by my parents — who met at UW in the 80s — I did not attend a football game at Camp Randall until my junior year of high school.
Stories of social injustice filled student newspapers’ pages throughout the previous academic term. Incoming students will not only be made aware of these issues, but they will also be provided with tools to discuss them and similar topics in order to diminish occurrences of discrimination. The university will attempt to instill a sense of acceptance in new students before they even step on campus.
Garret Payne was having a bad day.
I’ll be up-front: A former editor of mine recently nicknamed me “one-trick pony” for my repeated coverage of the indie rock band Hippo Campus. He had a point: Thursday marked the group’s third concert in Madison since September, when they performed as an opener for Benjamin Booker. Less than two months later Hippo Campus returned, headlining with songs off their latest EP South. By Thursday’s show at the Majestic Theatre, this one-trick pony was worried the Minnesota-based band wouldn’t be able to engage the audience without the nauseating feeling of deja-vu. However, Hippo Campus managed to electrify the crowd, with help from two opening acts.
Nearly 16 years after UW-Madison came under fire for photoshopping a black student on the 2001-’02 Undergraduate Application’s cover photo that created a facade of diversity, #TheRealUW movement has once again crashed the illusion of a diverse and inclusive campus for all.
The earth is warming. Ninety-seven percent of scientists have agreed on the consensus that climate change is real and caused by man.
Welcome to the second installment of “Black Girl Magic”. This week’s Magician of the Week is political science freshman, Muslim Student Association Sister’s Coordinator and ITA Digital Media Assistant Fatoumata Ceesay. Her magic is her personal exploration of intersecting African and black identities.

Blayre Turnbull was used to playing in front of raucous, sellout crowds in LaBahn Arena. But after her illustrious four-year Badger career concluded last spring, Turnbull traded in her red and white Wisconsin jersey for a red and white Calgary Inferno jersey.
