Despite how ridiculously expensive tuition at the University of Wisconsin-Madison gets, one thing I will not gripe about paying is the student segregated fee that all UW-Madison students pay equally regardless of residency, year or school. UW-Madison’s segregated fees are taxes that are tacked onto our semester tuition that add a little over $1,000 to our overall tuition and fees annually.

It looks like The Badger Herald has embraced the thoughts of the one Mr. David Hookstead again. And this one is a doozey!

In a recent Letter to the Editor published in the Badger Herald, University of Wisconsin-Madison junior David Hookstead outlined his feelings on the increased crime around campus. He proposes three steps to take to help lower crime: prioritize police attention, allow students with conceal-carry permits to carry guns on campus and for people to travel in groups specifically for women to travel in groups with a man. The latter two steps he offers are ridiculous proposals. Although I agree with him regarding the prioritization of police attention, his thinking on access to guns will likely create more problems than they solve and his assertion that travel in groups with men is what will protect us ignores the reality of circumstances around lots of crimes being alluded to.

Same-sex marriage rights remain one of the big social issues of the day. The biggest gay rights news in the United States in the last few months was the Supreme Court’s ruling that the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional, which allows the federal government to recognize same-sex marriages performed in jurisdictions where they are legal. New updates include renewed attempts to finally get legal recognition of same-sex marriage in New Jersey and Illinois.

Over the summer, it has slowly been revealed Madison’s most iconic street—State Street—is due for a massive facelift. Development firm Core Campus Communities is spearheading the redevelopment of the 500 block including a large surface parking lot and the building that houses the Campus Inn and some of State Street’s most well-known restaurants.

One of the biggest challenges humanity faces in the 21st century is
the protection of the environment. With the human population
reaching 7 billion people this year, increased consumption of raw
materials land and the onset of global warming, ignoring
environmental problems is no longer an option. People across the
globe need to change the way they live and make huge investments in
""green"" infrastructure for the future.

What would happen if every student on campus were required to take
a course in the department of Gender and Women's Studies? Would
students brush the class aside like any other breadth credit or
take the valuable information it offers seriously?

Most people would not think it, but some of the most
environmentally friendly places to live are not idyllic small
communities or suburbs spread out across the countryside intermixed
with forests and farms, but concrete jungles like New York City,
Chicago or San Francisco.

Former UW-Madison basketball player Shawna Nicols epitomized the
Badger athlete: dedicated and always striving for success. Nicols
was what is expected of a college athlete, with one difference:
Nicols is a lesbian. A lesbian student at UW-Madison isn't unusual,
but an openly gay or lesbian athlete competing at a school like
UW-Madison, especially in a popular sport like basketball, is. Few
lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) athletes are open
about their sexuality, and athletics remains an area in society
that is often closed to the LGBT community.

Recently I was in the dormitory bathroom when I heard a voice from
a nearby shower stall say, ""Oh man, that calc exam was so gay.""
Usually I'm too groggy and inattentive in the morning, but upon
hearing this I was totally awake and instantly thought, ""WAIT!
What?"" Whenever I hear ""gay"" used in this context I get upset.
Repeatedly I ask myself what is it that makes people think it's
acceptable to use ""gay"" as a synonym for ""stupid,"" demeaning an
entire community?
