“Guns don’t kill people! People kill people!” That is true. Nikolas Cruz did kill people. He killed 17 innocent people in Parkland, Florida on February 14. But he killed those people using a gun. A semiautomatic gun to be exact: An AR-15 that I believe holds no place in civilian society.
On Friday, Robert Mueller, the special counsel in charge of investigating Russian influence on the 2016 election, filed an indictment against 13 Russians for conspiring to defraud the U.S. political system and attempting to provoke political and social tensions in America.
As an out-of-state student, I understand the trials and tribulations of an ever-increasing tuition while in-state students reap the benefit of a locked in price of attending UW-Madison. This is more than just annoying for personal financial reasons, however. It is often harder for out-of-state students to be admitted to UW-Madison, and as a result, those that do get admitted bring higher test scores, extracurricular activities and more money to the campus. The UW system has recently unveiled a new proposal that would reduce tuition for outof-state students if they plan to live in work in Wisconsin for two years after graduation.
When I arrived at UW-Madison last semester, I held the naïve opinion that class stratification was not a large problem on campus. While my experiences so far have drastically changed my mind, I think that Chancellor Rebecca Blank’s new financial assistance program for low-income students, called “Bucky’s Tuition Promise,” was a step in the right direction.
At the end of the 2017 fall semester, reports came out that UW had ideas of implementing a new “meal plan” idea that would come into effect the fall semester of 2018. The University would require new incoming freshmen to deposit a minimum of $1,400 on their WisCard account.
Hip hop has always been a genre that evolves with the times. Since it was born in the early 80s in the Bronx, hip hop has changed with the culture and has had a growing influence on our society.
Taco Bell has plans to open a new cantina-style restaurant on State Street, bringing students both Nachos Bell Grande as well as liquor. However, this plan was put to a stop by Madison Mayor Paul Soglin, who vetoed the issuing of a liquor license for the restaurant under the concern that it would not be good for the future and atmosphere of the State Street area.
Recently, there have been numerous reports of women speaking out about their experiences with sexual misconduct in Hollywood. Due to these accusations, famous men and their reputations have been rightfully destroyed. The Time’s Up campaign has resulted in change in Hollywood, but as a society, we have a long way to go before time is really up. Even the President of the United States has been accused of sexual misconduct.
Our generation cannot get enough of social media. It is an addiction that grips our society and defines our times. Today more than 1 billion people have a Facebook account and our world is more connected than ever. But Facebook can be a dangerous drug.
Although the State of the Union did not mention it, the state of the special counsel’s investigation into possible Russian collusion with the Trump campaign is in peril.
Fetus . Diversity. Transgender. Vulnerable. Entitlement. Science-based. Evidence-based.
To be greener, we must want to do more than sign a pledge.
As a resident and a house fellow, the residence halls were foundational in my social and academic college experience. Through neighbors down the hall, I found several of my best friends, learned about cultures from around the world and developed curiosities for academic disciplines I hardly knew existed. With nearly all first-year students living on campus, Housing helps form intimate communities to contrast the enormity of the University and brings together students from all academic, regional and ideological backgrounds to an unstructured social setting — a phenomenon not found elsewhere at the school to such significance. With how critical a role Housing plays in campus life, I am concerned about how the mandatory Dining deposit will impact low-income students' access to our state’s public flagship university.
Prior to the 1970s, the term “pipeline” was used in industry to describe the process in which a product is pushed through the development phase and out into the market. However, this metaphor would gain new meaning with the gradual diminishing of women from technology-based fields. Now women, not objects, are the ones being pumped into a “pipeline” that ideally leads to careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
Board of Regents take easy way out, enact misguided free speech policy
Recently the University released a policy proposal to mandate a $1,400 non-refundable dining hall deposit for incoming freshman living in the dorms. The deposit would only be available for use at campus dining halls and unions and students would make four $350 quarterly deposits. If the funds are not spent before the school year is out, they go to the University and students receive only an email reminder to use the money before it disappears.
Earlier in November there was a monumental leak in the Keystone Pipeline, resulting in over 200,000 gallons of oil spilling into the land of South Dakota, close to the Lake Traverse Indian Reservation. This marks the pipeline’s third significant leak in the United States since 2010. Originally, the pipeline’s owner, TransCanada Corp, projected spills once every seven to 11 years in the US and once every 41 years in South Dakota.
Last Tuesday, FCC Commissioner and Trump-appointee Ajit Pai released plans to rollback net neutrality. If enacted, the days of the internet as a free and open forum will come to an end.
According to data collected by UW-Madison from 2006-’11, the average graduation rate of students was 56.8 percent in four years and 81.9 percent in five years. However, these numbers look drastically different for first-generation students, as only 46.2 percent graduate in four years and 74.7 percent graduate in five years.
