Midway through the first quarter against Akron, redshirt senior tight end Eric Steffes lined up on a third and sixth as one of the two players at the end of the Wisconsin line of scrimmage. When the ball was snapped, Steffes ran a successful whip route, pretending to go across the middle of the field, before halting, spinning and sprinting toward the sideline. Redshirt senior quarterback Bart Houston pumped once and stepped up in the pocket before finding the open Steffes for a first down.

Capitalism doesn’t seem to be valued as strongly as it once was. We hear that businesses should exist to benefit society. Instead of embracing capitalism, we should apparently support a toned-down “conscious capitalism.” Students are encouraged to start careers as social entrepreneurs, where their work not only provides them a way of life, but also directly helps others. While I fully support any business or individual with altruistic goals and motives, I also recognize the value of capitalism, making a profit and working strictly to maximize your income.

There was nothing particularly remarkable or enthralling about Wisconsin’s 54-10 win over Akron in Saturday’s home opener at Camp Randall Stadium. But considering how other ranked teams fared during Week 2, a low-stress win over an inferior opponent isn’t something that should be taken for granted.

As an ardent and vocal environmentalist, I have always been drawn to the ideas and candidates espoused by the Green Party. In 2014, I cast some of my very first votes for Green Party candidates, in the hopes of seeing environmental stewardship come to the forefront of local politics.

First, you go to a WUD show. There are many ways to enter and explore the Madison music scene, but no first step comes close to being as encompassing and helpful as this one. WUD Music’s events are free and wonderful, and it’s impossible to imagine UW having such a tight-knit music community without them. You’ll find local indie pop stars hanging at the Vince Staples show, house party DJs swaying to Alex G and every mishmash of listener and performer in between. The instant you get to campus, pick a WUD show and go to it. The faces you’ll see there will become markers for your music journey in Madison for years to come.

In recent months, the debate over which bathroom facilities transgender people in the United States should use in public spaces has become one that has divided Americans. States such as North Carolina have already made up their minds on the matter, and have passed legislation preventing transgender students from using restrooms and locker rooms that do not match their biological sex. Even here in Wisconsin, bills similar to that in North Carolina have been proposed, and the discussion over them is widely thought to be opened again when session begins again this fall.

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.

Both of the headlining acts of Revelry made the most out of a rough situation. The afternoon rain had given Madison a cold, damp grey hangover from the early-morning Mifflin festivities, and the Orpheum was the least habit- able place for those seeking refuge. Not only was the sound quality questionable close to the stage, which was the only section of the theater where anyone stood, but security made a point of asserting themselves into crowd’s festivities that would have otherwise gone ignored for a bigger show. But that deterred neither the performers nor the crowd.

With spring’s arrival, construction has returned in force to campus, evidence of UW-Madison’s robust attempts to keep pace with peer institutions. However, mired in austerity, state support for campus investment has been supplanted by the goodwill of wealthy donors, allowing some departments to carry on business as usual while others languish in obsolete facilities.

Spring break takes people to a variety of destinations. My 2016 destination was set as of October the previous year. I had managed to apply and enroll into a field study and seminar about business in the Cuban economy. Although the focus was business, my mind kept returning to the role of telecommunications and journalism in this closed-off country.

Eneale Pickett seems comfortable as a hip-hop artist on his new mixtape “L.I.F.E.”, but he’s quick to denounce any intention of sounding, posturing or circulating as a rapper. The freshman First Wave scholar from Chicago’s south side has been a lover of hip-hop and poetry alike since early on, but it wasn’t until he was thrown into the mix of slam poetry in his middle and high school years that he felt sure of his artistic stature and purpose in the spoken word vein. The latest chapter in Pickett’s journey proves that he’s no live-performance purist either.
