As many of you know, earlier this year Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a bill banning the “propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations” throughout Russia. These laws have made it illegal to hold gay pride parades and events, to defend gay rights through the media and to inform minors about the gay and lesbian community. Not only have these laws been imposed on citizens of Russia, but also on foreigners and the media, with fines of up to $31,000 being implemented. Due to the vagueness of this law, citizens and foreigners alike in Russia can be arrested simply for stating that they are gay.

In a recent Letter to the Editor published in the Badger Herald, University of Wisconsin-Madison junior David Hookstead outlined his feelings on the increased crime around campus. He proposes three steps to take to help lower crime: prioritize police attention, allow students with conceal-carry permits to carry guns on campus and for people to travel in groups specifically for women to travel in groups with a man. The latter two steps he offers are ridiculous proposals. Although I agree with him regarding the prioritization of police attention, his thinking on access to guns will likely create more problems than they solve and his assertion that travel in groups with men is what will protect us ignores the reality of circumstances around lots of crimes being alluded to.
City officials said there will be no major procedural changes to Freakfest policing this year, and Frank Productions thanked students for their unprecedented role in organizing this year’s annual State Street Halloween bash at a press conference Wednesday.

Political views kept private are no views at all, just mere thoughts. Until one takes action and speaks out, then you’re truly not doing yourself justice. I recently decided to take matters into my own hands, as it seems the Republican Party is going down in flames. The only true way progress can be made on strengthening a party that is so divided is by speaking the truth to those of the party who ruin it for the rest of us. What happened to the Republicans who ended the Vietnam War and started welfare programs across the country? They have vanished or switched parties. Now we are left with this moderate, pragmatic type of Conservative who really embodies no views of his or her own and will adapt to public opinion for votes. Or you have your run-of-the-mill extreme Conservative who takes cover under a Libertarian umbrella whenever accosted. Almost like how Jon Stewart can hide behind his comedic veil when ripping politicians to shreds.

A University of Wisconsin-Madison student government intern outlined her plans Monday to create a bill aiming to lower the Wisconsin drinking age.
For the past two years and eight months, there have been people protesting against Gov. Scott Walker at the Capitol building more or less every day. That is remarkable for many reasons, but last month, when what appears to be a non-belligerent attendee at a typical protest was violently thrown to the ground and arrested by no less than five Capitol Police officers, it was proof that, remarkably, tensions still run incredibly high and what the administration is doing to quell the standoff is not working.
