A Cardinal SXSW Music: DIY, chaotic, haphazard, brilliant
(03/28/16 11:00am)
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.

Letter to the editor: God bless contraception
(02/08/16 5:00pm)
An Op-Ed published in The Daily Cardinal titled “The social impact of contraception” claimed the increased use of contraception has had a “devastating impact on our families, relationships and our society.” The author, Ben Miller, cites Pope Paul VI’s Humanae Vitae, an encyclical published in 1968 that predicted an increase in infidelity, objectification of women, overreach and corruption by public authorities, and immoral attempts by humankind to control their bodies if contraception use became widespread. Due to the flawed logic of his argument and disregard for the positive effects of contraception, we felt it necessary to respond.

First-timer embraces the unknown world of nightclubs
(01/25/16 12:00pm)
It’s 6 a.m., and I find myself on the Purple Line out of Chicago among a nest of snoozing commuters. My eyes are wide, lips chapped, feet still tapping in beat with the thumping club tracks I had just listened to for seven hours straight. Following in the footsteps of David Byrne, I ask myself: How did I get here? And more importantly, when will I be back?
Tapping into the benefits of coconut oil
(01/25/16 12:00pm)
During a routine trip to the store, it’s common that we need to have separate lists in our head for food, toiletries and beauty products. It’s rare that a single item can cross over multiple lists and serve a variety of roles.
New journey for The Daily Cardinal
(01/20/16 12:00pm)
Welcome back to campus, and welcome to an exciting semester at The Daily Cardinal. Whether you’re a longtime reader or just picking up our newspaper for the first time, you are joining us at a significant point in our 123-year history.

(12/07/15 7:03am)

Sanders will fall unless voters take a stand
(12/03/15 3:21am)
A common refrain I hear from Hillary Clinton supporters is that even if the country could somehow muster the will to put Bernie Sanders into the Oval Office, nothing would ever get done because Republicans would block Sanders’ ultra-liberal policy proposals at every turn. Admittedly, I understand where these people are coming from. For people who think the government can and should play a more active role in bettering people’s lives by ensuring health care as a right for all citizens, making college universally affordable and reigning in the power of the wealthiest Americans to control the political process, Sanders is exactly the person upon whom we should bestow the presidency. On the other hand, for those in Congress possessing wildly different notions of what government should do on behalf of the people, i.e., Republicans, a Sanders win on 2016’s election night would undoubtedly presage a precipitous drop in legislative productivity.
