Although genetically engineered foods made their first appearance on grocery store shelves back in 1994, they still remain a topic of contention in today’s society. While some believe GE foods are the key to feeding Earth’s growing population, others see them as a threat to human and environmental health. These attitudes are shaped by a myriad of different stakeholders.

There’s no shortage of alcohol-soaked traditions at college campuses across the country, even within the UW System—whether that’s Oktoberfest at UW-La Crosse, UW-Whitewater’s Spring Splash or the biannual pub crawl in Oshkosh.
On Tuesday, freshman chemistry student Henry Fischer submitted his most recent exam to be regraded, asserting that his answers were not in fact wrong, but were “alternatively orrect.” During the exam, which took place on Monday a week prior, Fischer discovered that his high school study tactic of spending the majority of his waking hours watching Netflix, and not studying until the night before, had not prepared him to adequately answer questions regarding stoichiometry or the ideal gas law. However, he was still under the belief that his peers “totally did just as bad,” which Fischer thought to himself on his walk back to Sullivan Residence Hall. Thus he convinced himself that every other student had put the same amount of effort toward the exam as he had. It was therefore to Fischer’s surprise that upon opening his Learn@UW account the following Saturday, he discovered a grade of 31 percent and had in fact failed.Believing the score to be “total crap,” Fischer celebrated his perceived success by watching the entirety of “The Office’s” fifth season in one sitting, during which he received a phone call from his mother, Beverly, and affirmed to her that he had done “Fine.” However, when the exams were distributed in his Tuesday discussion, he could not believe that his TA had not altered their grading error and ultimately presented him with his 31 percent exam. It was even more to his dismay that when asked, “When will the retake be?”, his TA informed the class that there was no such thing. Still believing himself to have been cheated, Fischer made the conclusion that it was not his answers that were wrong, but the questions themselves.At the end of his class, Fischer spoke with his TA about his conclusion, and when shrugged off, walked around the Chemistry Building, moving up the chain of command until he “met” with a department faculty member. The faculty member, who wished to remain anonymous, exclaimed their disbelief that someone could be “So far removed from reality as to believe the exam questions were not written in a way that would cover the answers he intended to give.” Such answers include “2,” which instead of being an answer to a question regarding the molar mass of Argon, Fischer attributed to the question, “What Lecture are you in?” While a verdict has yet to be reached, the precedent surrounding the cases of the “Alt-Write” Organization (English majors who believe their essays contained Alternative English, as opposed to grammatical errors) does not bode well for Fischer.
JANESVILLE, Wis.—In a demonstration that Janesville police said dwarfed any they’d seen, residents of south-central Wisconsin and beyond marched to House Speaker Paul Ryan’s constituent office Saturday to protest his stance on President Donald Trump’s immigration ban.
Migos break the system and give us CULTURE with no apology. In a record-label dictated industry and a politically shattering country, Migos’ trio of Quavo, Offset and Takeoff are just warming up. Migos live like mainstream millennials, but haven’t fallen under the pressure of the Hollywood industry. A Gwinnett County formed trio, Migos make me much more grateful and proud to know I went to high school a 15-minute drive from them.
The Wisconsin Idea—the notion that the education taking place here at UW-Madison can and should reach beyond campus and serve the state, nation and world—aims to take on a greater global role with the launch of the new King-Morgridge Scholars program.
2017 marks the beginning of a new period filled with uncertainty and anxiety for countless Americans across the country. The past year and a half showcased the rise of a prolific businessman and reality television star to the most powerful position in the world. Not only has Donald Trump been the most controversial presidential candidate ever, but at a more basic level, it seems that he values his personal goals over those of the country he now leads.
Last year was a gargantuan one for hip-hop, with top artists pulling the genre in competing directions. From Kendrick Lamar to Lil Yachty, the genre veered from lyrical masterworks to political anthems to brash bangers, and it has rarely felt more eclectic. On Saturday at the High Noon Saloon, Chicago native Noname put on an energetic show that ushered in the new year with a blend of rap’s many different identities.
UW-Madison Police Department’s police horse, Vegas, died Tuesday after more than one year of suffering from Degenerative Suspensory Ligament Disease.
I have a dirty little secret. My secret could inspire public ridicule the likes of which I’ve not yet personally experienced. Given the third-class status of intellectual freedom in the state of Wisconsin, my secret could very possibly cost me a job that I love. But, in the spirit of my love for teaching and people, I’m going to share it anyway.
Although elected and appointed representatives for the Associated Students of Madison make commitments to advocate for students at weekly meetings, two groups within the larger organization have been dealing with low attendance this year.
Citing its crisp, hoppy flavor and innately superior coloration, American white nationalists, commonly known as the “alt-right” (and most accurately known as neo-Nazis) declared Tuesday that American pale ale is the official beverage of choice for those wishing to undermine establishment politics and reinstate a dominative American master race. Richard Spencer, a prominent white nationalist and long-time pale ale drinker, spoke to The Daily Cardinal following the announcement. “This country was founded on the principles of Caucasian liberation and crisp, light-colored beers. We’ve since witnessed a sickening digression toward a multicultural national identity and a country-wide bar scene marred by darker brews like Oatmeal Stout and Belgian Porters,” Spencer said. “It is time for this nation to change. Hail cascade hops! Hail pale ale!” Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, a popular brewery among racists and non-racists alike, was pleased to have its pale ale appreciated on a national scale, but voiced some skepticism about the association with white supremacy. “We at Sierra Nevada really don’t see color,” said Ken Grossman, owner and founder of the company. “We dream of a world where beers will not be judged based on their color or complexion, but by the content of their character.”Across the country, those who oppose white supremacy have been protesting the movement and supporting people of color by boycotting pale ales of all types.Near press time, a group of right-wing dairy farmers was spotted protesting the decision, claiming that 2 percent milk would’ve made for a more representative beverage.

Donald Trump’s historic election portends massive changes at many levels of the government. The environmental sector may be most at risk. Many changes will arise as new leaders are put in positions of power—their actions may erase decades of progress, rendering the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and various other agencies weak. It’s up to private citizens and other countries to now take matters into their own hands.
After spending a sunny afternoon at the playground with some of the boys in my hometown, someone said to me, “It would have been nice if you were born a boy instead of a girl.” I was six or seven years old at the time, and it was at this point in my life that I felt a little off about my identity.
