On Feb. 27, UW-Madison community members received a familiar “Timely Warning” email that highlighted the ongoing threat of burglary on campus. UW-Madison is obligated to send these emails under the Clery Act, which requires campuses to report specific crimes, such as homicide, sexual offenses and robbery. While these emails often describe the alleged perpetrator, rarely do they include identifying photographs like the one circulated on Monday.

The most common argument I hear when discussing immigration is that if immigrants—specifically Mexican immigrants—want to come to the U.S. so badly, why don’t they do it legally?

For over 100 years, UW-Madison has prided itself on the principle of “The Wisconsin Idea”—the idea that education should influence people’s lives beyond the classroom. One way that our university upholds this idea is through our student organizations. From professional student orgs that help supplement classes by introducing students to their career field, to global volunteer organizations that not only allow students the opportunity to participate in service but also to gain cultural perspective through their travels, student organizations are an integral part of the learning process here at UW-Madison. Allowing students the option of opting out of allocable segregated fees would destroy this system of education.

So far, President Donald Trump has had a controversial presidency in just his first month in office. He faced national outcry after his divisive travel ban was initiated and has faced backlash from major news organizations with his constant attacks on the media’s "fake news."

I’m sure a lot of people have seen the movie "Lilo & Stitch." I first saw this movie when I was in elementary school. At that time, I did not think too much about the themes or greater message behind the movie. However, when I think about the movie in retrospect, one of the deeper meanings behind it involves the importance of family.

When someone tells you they are in a long-distance relationship with someone who lives 1,000 miles away, it usually warrants one of the following responses: “Why in your right mind would you do that?” or “That’s adorable, you must really love each other!”

As soon as prospective students are admitted to UW-Madison, they begin the housing application process. Along with this process, students are highly encouraged to apply for a student job on campus. These jobs are presented as being conveniently located, with flexible hours and a great way to make friends and connections. While all of this may be true, there is one major detriment to working for the university: the pay.

Live from New York, it’s Saturday night! This is a catchphrase that has enthralled viewers across the country who tune into the most popular weekly live comedy show for decades and decades. Saturday Night Live has been cracking jokes since 1975 and for all of its 42 seasons this has comedically criticized and commented on the current political scene.

The question can be phrased in different ways: Some universities ask about whether prospective applicants have been convicted of a misdemeanor. Others ask about academic violations or if you have a pending sexual offense charge.

Passed out on a stranger’s bathroom floor. Stumbling down the street, held up by friends. Leaning over a plastic Walgreens bag in an Uber. Images most college students have witnessed—or personally experienced—during a night out.

UW-Madison has a reputation of being a renowned university academically, both nationally and globally, and attracts students of many different identities, personalities, and backgrounds. We have also obtained a reputation as being a school with a huge party atmosphere and earlier this year the Princeton Review named us the top party school in the nation. While this may be true, in my two years on campus I have met plenty of people who, for a plethora of reasons, choose not to drink.

I remember my first time in Wisconsin, when I was surprised to discover something different about the grocery store. When I found an aisle solely dedicated to liquor, I was genuinely surprised, as I had never seen such a thing back home. It was that moment when I realized Wisconsin is very different from where I come from. Unfortunately, it seems to possess a very universal problem across college campuses throughout this nation—substance abuse.

Much to the chagrin of many Americans and people across the globe, President Donald Trump has steadfastly maintained his campaign promises during his first days in office. He signed seven executive orders during his first week as president, many of them systematically checking off promises he made along the campaign trail.

New leadership often brings a new set of policies that seek to improve the conditions of the nation. One of the most recent controversies that arose from the policies under the Trump administration in our country is regarding the travel ban against Muslims with origins in certain nations, who supposedly present a threat to our national security. This policy reflects the increasingly outrageous hostility toward immigrants and foreigners present in the national atmosphere that makes me worry whether such policies may benefit us overall.

Among a myriad of other injustices, the overall health of our nation faces stomach-sinking danger, and the threats to U.S. sexual, reproductive and women’s health are substantial. But we, as students at UW-Madison, are in a privileged position to access services and education to protect our minds and bodies and it will become increasingly important to protect and support them as threats to public health rise.

President Donald Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch to fill the vacant seat in the Supreme Court. Trump’s pick, if confirmed, will have a long-lasting impact on the trajectory of the country; the Supreme Court holds an enormous amount of power and almost all big changes made in our country will pass through them. They have had the final say in multiple landmark decisions in our country, including Brown v. Board of Education (invalidated racial segregation in schools), Roe v. Wade (legalized abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy), Bush v. Gore (handed George W. Bush the presidency) and King v. Burwell (upheld major provisions of the Affordable Care Act). This list goes on and will continue to grow with the changing times.
