It didn’t take long after leaving Austin, Texas, for me to start reflecting on The Daily Cardinal’s experience at South by Southwest. Twenty minutes into my returning flight, the oxygen masks of our small regional plane fell from the ceiling, and our plane hastily turned around due to a compression malfunction in the cabin. As someone with a deep-seated fear of flying, the adrenaline surge to my body granted me the innate ability to look back on the last week with the clarity one might have before plummeting to the ground in a smoldering jet.

In many ways, advocacy and activism start with the arts. Countless individuals use their creative talents combined with personal experiences to bring attention to a wide array of political and social issues. Addressing concerns such as racial inequality, body shaming and gender stereotypes with a creative approach does two very important things. The first is that it makes the message easier to receive. For those who are pushing for unequal treatment or those who just don’t care enough to pay attention to the social issues, hearing the message in a creative manner could potentially cause them to pay more attention. It may not change their minds, but it opens a dialogue. The second is causing an emotional impact. There’s something unique about expressing oneself through poetry, music or a comedy skit. The words come alive when they are recited in front of an audience. Emotions are stronger than plain facts; that is why the arts are a perfect place to push for change.

Kanye West’s long-gestating, and perhaps still unfinished The Life of Pablo is a beautiful, heartfelt mess. Yeezy is perhaps more aesthetically indulgent than ever, and the conduct is essentially disorderly throughout. Thematically, Ye believes this album to be an unbridled, honest outpouring in service to his followers, detractors and to god. To anyone with an objective bone in their body, maybe it’s best to just sit back and enjoy listening to an eminent madman produce big, novel sounds again.

When Jacqueline DeWalt was a UW-Madison graduate student in 2000, she enrolled her son in the PEOPLE (Pre-college Enrichment Opportunity Program for Learning Excellence) Program, created in 1999.After enrolling her son in the program, DeWalt soon began working for PEOPLE, eventually becoming its executive director.“People say there’s an achievement gap as though it’s the students’ fault,” DeWalt said. “I say there’s an opportunity gap, because students aren’t getting access to opportunities that might excite them.”PEOPLE has provided educational opportunities for the past 17 years, preparing low-income and minority students in Wisconsin for college. The program has expanded from 66 students at its inception to more than 1,300 students today.According to DeWalt, the program’s extensiveness separates it from other pre-college programs and its structure has contributed to its considerable success.PEOPLE runs from elementary school through high school, offering after-school tutoring, summer classes on the UW-Madison campus and internship opportunities. The program supports students across Wisconsin, including those in Madison, Milwaukee and all 11 federally recognized native tribes in the state.Students who complete the PEOPLE program and meet UW-Madison admission requirements are eligible for a full-tuition scholarship and continuous academic support throughout their undergraduate experience, including access to tutors and advisors.According to the program’s statistics, 100 percent of PEOPLE students graduate from high school, and 94 percent attend higher education institutions; nearly half enroll at UW-Madison.
