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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
On Thursday March 15th, Business School Interim Dean Gerhart invited student leaders, including the Undergraduate Business Council President, the ASM Business School Council Representative, and myself to a follow up meeting regarding a student advisory committee.
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.
We’d like to thank the students who attended the forum Monday night to hear the results of UW-Madison’s first-ever campus-wide climate survey. It’s important we use the survey results to continue to improve campus climate.
Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos’ recent appearance on 60 Minutes made it hard to distinguish between reality and a Saturday Night Live skit. DeVos seems to be lost throughout the entirety of the interview, continuously stumbling over her words as she desperately attempts to portray herself as knowledgeable about the nation’s school systems, failing miserably and hoping to mask her ignorance with a smile. DeVos’ presence during the 60 minutes is frighteningly similar to how Kate McKinnon of SNL portrayed her, but that imitation was a parody meant solely for entertainment. This, disastrously, is the real Betsy DeVos, the real Secretary of Education, and she is just as embarrassing as her SNL counterpart.
An average box of 12 condoms from Walgreens costs between $10 and $11, coming out to a little less than $1 per condom. A 4-ounce bottle of lube costs about five dollars, which means each ounce costs about $1.25. The cost of an unplanned pregnancy, abortion or STI is less calculable, but I think it’s fair to call the financial and emotional toll of these events significant.
Dear prospective student,
Recent news that a former YouTube employee sued Google for allegedly refusing to hire white and Asian men in an attempt to increase the company’s overall diversity struck my mind. It makes me wonder, as an Asian, what political and social status do we actually have in U.S. society?
I have been taught to not be ashamed of my emotions. However, I have also been taught to use my emotions wisely and that certain emotions are not always appropriate.
Earlier this week, sporting goods giant Dick’s Sporting Goods announced in a letter from their CEO Edward Stack that they will halt the sale of all firearms similar to those used in the Parkland, Florida school shooting. According to the letter, they will no longer sell assault-style rifles or high capacity magazines in any of their online or retail locations.
While student protest is an integral and rich part of UW-Madison’s history, some believe protesting has become a routine example of fanatical liberalism on campus. It seems like there is a different protest every day and too many issues to keep track of. The results of the 2016 election cycle have spurred marches for various causes all across the nation, as the Trump presidency continues to provide a limitless stream of controversial policies and scandals.
Since details of the FBI investigation into the NCAA last week exposed some “shocking” revelations about the corruption within college sports, we have seen analysts, economists and professional players offering their opinions on how to fix what is clearly a broken system.
The Native American concept of “7th Generation thinking” emphasizes the need to think about how contemporary actions will impact those down the road. This provides a framework for many native communities, helping to prevent selfish decisions. Sustainable mentalities such as this uphold the Native American ideal that humans are not owners of land, but rather temporary residents with an obligation to preserve and respect it.
Madison, like much of Wisconsin, was the land of Native Americans before European settlers colonized it. In the early 1800s, what is now Madison was known as “the land of the four lakes” and belonged to the Ho-Chunk nation. Fast forward nearly 200 years later and Madison has practically erased any history of the Ho-Chunk that called it home for much longer than we have.
