OPINION

An overarching look at Madison this semester

By Editorial Board | Apr. 26, 2018

Madison students, community members march to ask: ‘Am I next?” On March 24, thousands of Madison-area students and community members surrounded the Capitol to make a statement: “Not one more.” The crowd, which was a part of the international March For Our Lives, had gathered to demand that lawmakers address the epidemic of gun violence — which plagues communities nationwide on a daily basis. “When I am in class and the door is left open, I sit in fear,” one student activist told the crowd. Yet lawmakers have done nothing to address the issue.

Cardinal View: UW-Madison gradually improving quantity of locally sourced food

By Editorial Board | Apr. 12, 2018

In a calendar year, UW Housing purchases nearly 40,000 lbs. of four-ounces 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. Producing food in high volume is a constant challenge that Paul Sprunger, UW-Madison’s executive chef, and his team have to deal with. And finding local vendors who can keep up with the university’s supply and demand is another issue in and of itself. But, in recent years, UW-Madison is making incremental improvements to how much of its food comes from local sources — though it’s important to note that local food does not necessarily equate to better tasting food.

Masculine expectations prevent open emotions

By Samantha Wilcox | Mar. 8, 2018

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. As a woman, I have definitely benefited from that cultural identity when it comes to feeling free to express my emotions.
