The mental health and well-being of our campus community is a top priority of University Health Services (UHS). We are continuously working to improve access to the services students need.
When my friend told me that his adviser said to him “if you apply to 40 summer internships, you would be lucky to get two or three interviews,” I didn’t believe it was true.
March is every college basketball lover’s favorite month, and this year, Badger fans were eager to see how the team would do. Not many expected UW to beat No.1-seeded Villanova, but they did and also had a hard-fought battle against Florida that ended in a heartbreaking loss during the last seconds of overtime.
It seems that, once again, our nation’s politicians have manufactured a dilemma: To teach or to research? If lawmakers are to be believed, it’s a “one or the other” proposition. Two mutually exclusive practices, neither of which informs the other, and one of which holds more value than the other. Unsurprisingly, this myth is once again playing out in current conversations about whether and how to fund Wisconsin’s next budget. And as with all ideas mythological and misguided, they become dangerous when put into the hands of people with real power to create policy.
The most popular majors at UW-Madison are, according to U.S. News & World Report, economics, biology, political science and psychology. Thousands of students each year graduate with degrees in these fields. Exactly zero students graduate with certificates in them.
One of the biggest things college kids have to adjust to is the need for more effective time management skills. Without having their parents around, students have to learn to find the balance between doing school work, going to class, running errands, eating healthy, sleeping enough, socializing, exercising and participating in hobbies. Nobody is there to take care of you anymore or tell you do to your homework. Nobody cleans after you or makes you food, something most of us are used to our parents doing for us back home. It is important to strike this perfect balance between everything in your life, while adding frequent breaks to do the things you love or just take time for yourself.
Leviticus 20:13 explicitly demands that he who sleeps with another man is to be put to death. From this, am I to criticize Christianity for its violence as Kort Driessen, the author of a recent opinion piece on Islamophobia, has demanded we do of Islam? I think not.
In light of the recently published article in The Daily Cardinal regarding Islam’s flaws, I took it upon myself to research the alleged charges laid against Islam and its doctrines. The author, Kort Driessen, repeatedly stated his desire to engage in open and honest dialogue about the flaws of Islam. However, his request for honest conversation is undermined by his own bias and uninformed opinions.
Rape and the fear of rape is a part of the American college experience for women. On American college campuses, one in four undergraduate women will be sexually assaulted or raped by the time they graduate. Indicated by UW-Madison’s Association of American Universities Sexual Misconduct and Sexual Assault Climate Survey, our precious UW-Madison is no exception, with 27.6 percent of undergraduate female students reporting experiencing nonconsensual penetration or sexual touching.
College campuses continue to boast horrifying statistics on sexual assault even with programs in place to help educate incoming students about how to identify and prevent high-risk situations in which sexual assault can occur. Representing a disproportionate percent of reported sexual assaults are Greek organizations on campus; longitudinal studies show fraternity men are three times more likely to commit sexual assault than other college men.
Allocable segregated fees—the approximately $90 each UW-Madison student pays along with their tuition every year—go toward funding many clubs, resources and services across campus. However, according to the new budget proposal from Gov. Scott Walker, these fees will be made optional for students. While saving money may sound appealing, the loss of segregated fee income could be catastrophic for our campus community.
We are an extremely concerned group of students from a variety of backgrounds who are appalled at the op-ed by Kort Driessen entitled “Islam's flaws cannot go unnoticed in discussing the term 'Islamophobia',” published on March 13, 2017.
An article was published March 13 titled “Islam's flaws cannot go unnoticed in discussing the term 'Islamophobia.'” The photo attached to the story was taken during Islam Appreciation Week.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This article reflects the views of its writer, not of The Daily Cardinal as a whole. It should not have been published, as explained more fully in a note from the management desk, for which we deeply apologize. We ultimately decided to leave the article up, in order to avoid censorship and allow continued discussion and criticism of the piece.
We are sending this letter in response to the article titled “Nearly half of UW fraternities faced punishment during 2016.”
I write to address and reiterate the importance of Good Samaritan laws having a more clear and progressive approach to protecting bystanders and the endangered person involved in a dangerous situation due to alcohol or drug use.
If I had a dollar for every single time I’ve been told a STEM degree is more valuable than a degree in something non-technical, I would be a wealthy man.
The summer before high school, I read "1984" by George Orwell. As I was still grasping the English language and needed lots of assistance in understanding the content, it was a challenging yet rewarding novel. I began to uncover the meanings behind Orwell’s words in the fictionalized dystopia. There were many things in the book that captivated my attention, yet there was a particular scene when the protagonist was captured, interrogated and forced to accept a lie as a fact. While I was reading at the time, I thought it was a very dramatic, rather extreme expression of some failing human cognitions, but it seems to be a very real and familiar flow of minds that surrounds us today.
This letter is in response to the proposed reintroduction of the transgender bathroom bill by State Rep. Jesse Kremer, R-Kewaskum, as reported in a recent article on February 23, 2017.
Most people immediately think of race or ethnicity when they think of diversity, but I think there is another form of diversity that often goes unnoticed: diversity in viewpoint. I wrote a college essay once on this and am pretty sure that’s one of the reasons why I got an interview for the program I was applying for.
