Protesters don't reflect sentiment of all students on campus

Last Friday, leaflets encouraging students to walk out of class at 11:11 a.m. littered the campus. For the past week, UW students had been subject to cancelled classes, teaching assistants missing from office hours and megaphone-bearing organizers disrupting classes to encourage students to participate in the protests. One such organizer was walking through the halls of Van Vleck when a shout came from the library that spoke for the rest of us: ""Shut up! I'm trying to study!""

Transparency key for partnership

When it comes to details about the New Badger Partnership, Chancellor Biddy Martin has been talking in generalities for nearly a year. Martin has continually called for drastic measures to help cushion the possibility of large cuts to university funding — measures she vaguely described as ""flexibility"" and ""increased tools.""

Limit religious seg fees

Let's get a show of hands: How many of you have chanted ""Kill the bill"" or ""Scotty doesn't know"" at least once this week? Okay, now how many of you know that one of our campus student orgs is suing the university for discrimination, and the case is well on its way to the supreme court?

SSFC rules wrong again

So let me get this straight, the Student Services Finance Committee cut funding for WISPIRG because they were helping the community too much? Is it just me, or does that sound selfish and illogical? This decision is absurd and completely contradicts what the university stands for.
