The complex legacy of John McCain
(09/05/18 1:00pm)
Politicians make a career out of high-stakes decisions. Sometimes those decisions turn out well, and other times they have devastating consequences. After a public servant dies, there is usually a period of time when their record is discussed by the public, and we all try to determine how we should feel about their legacy: Did they use their position to create positive change, or did they cause more harm than good?
Higher education: an opportunity not to be wasted
(08/13/18 5:23pm)
Privilege is a strong word. A lot of people like the benefits that come with it… but don’t like to be told they have privilege. For some of you, you’ll be hearing about privilege for the first time this fall. It’s something a lot of people scoff at – after all, you can’t see it, so how can you be sure it exists?

Words of wisdom from a senior to first-years
(06/11/18 2:00pm)
The general hysteria at the end of high school is profoundly unique. College decisions, prom season, and graduation all come in rapid succession, only to be followed by a summer filled with excitement and slight anxiety. As people take trips to Europe and work summer jobs, everyone’s mind is focused on what is to come in the fall. Some people are elated at their school decisions, while others are underwhelmed. High school relationships are either stretched through a long distance arrangement or are reluctantly ended in August. There are plenty of different ways people come into their freshman year, but one thing is universally true: no one has any legitimate understanding of what is to come.
McAdams v. Marquette not about free speech
(04/26/18 2:00pm)
Though the event that prompted McAdams v. Marquette occurred in 2014, the Wisconsin Supreme Court case it led to last week has the making of a typical story in 2018: ideological charge, selective interpretation of the facts, and peculiar characters.

Cardinal View: Short course program vital for Wisconsin farmers
(04/12/18 1:00pm)
Farms are a central and integral piece of Wisconsin culture. Families have owned and operated their farms for generations, passing down stories, tradition and trade. In today’s day of technology, however, the art of operating a successful and profitable farm has changed.

Cardinal View: The time is now to address water quality in Wisconsin
(04/12/18 3:00pm)
Those lucky enough to stay in Madison in recent summers may have noticed a peculiar sight in Lake Mendota, our campus’s most famous natural attraction. The recreational hotbed has become susceptible to large amounts of green algae during summer months. While the sprawling algae blooms are not the result of human activity directly on the lake, the phenomenon has prevented people from enjoying Lake Mendota’s full potential. More seriously than a decrease in summer activity, though, the algae represent a health risk to both human lake-goers as well as the animals and organisms who call Mendota home.
Cardinal View: UW-Madison gradually improving quantity of locally sourced food
(04/12/18 1:00pm)
In a calendar year, UW Housing purchases nearly 40,000 lbs. of four-ounce hamburger patties. It brings in 17,300 lbs. of plain chicken breasts — just one type of chicken it sells — and more than 63,000 lbs. of lettuce.
Hype surrounding Supreme Court election reveals problems with modern-day politics
(04/05/18 1:00pm)
According to a survey conducted by C-SPAN in 2017, only 43 percent of U.S. voters can name one of the nine justices that sit on the United States Supreme Court. In the same way the Supreme Court can seem mysterious, state judicial races can seem removed and irrelevant to everyday life. And yet, Tuesday’s State Supreme Court election saw high-profile endorsements from the former Vice President of the United States and state senators in addition to interest groups.
Cardinal view: Accessibility on campus is a vital issue
(04/05/18 4:00pm)
UW-Madison is a diverse campus filled with students and staff with different types of backgrounds, cultures and abilities. The university is comprised of numerous unique minds and bodies, but sometimes certain types of bodies and abilities get more attention and privilege. Students with disabilities face unique challenges on a campus that don’t always feel accessible to them.
Donating to campaigns is vital to free elections
(03/22/18 4:00pm)
A few weeks ago, I got a letter from Tammy Baldwin’s 2018 reelection campaign. The mass-printed flyer outlined Baldwin’s progress in the Senate so far and her future goals; most of which I agreed with. To me, she seems like a fair candidate and it’s likely that she will get my vote.
Business school does not adequately value input from students

Racine diversion application will allow Foxconn to pollute water resources
(03/21/18 4:00pm)
The DNR received a straddling community diversion application from the city of Racine on January 26, 2018, and has begun reviewing the application. The city of Racine requests to divert up to an annual average of 7 million gallons of water a day in the straddling community, the village of Mount Pleasant. The diversion area includes part of the area identified by Racine County as the future site of the Foxconn facility. The application identifies that all wastewater, less an allowance for consumptive use of 2.7 million gallons a day, will be returned to the Lake Michigan basin via the Racine wastewater treatment plant.
