Hurricane Irma relief not proactive enough for elderly Floridians

It looks as though America cannot get a break from the devastating tropical storms as Hurricane Irma barrels towards Florida and the coasts of Georgia and the Carolinas. Civilians are trying to deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey as Hurricane Irma gets closer to Florida by the minute. In one of the country’s hours of need, it is difficult to not be frustrated and disappointed in the Trump administration’s lack of initiative to handle these national disasters.

Cardinal View: Campus sexual assault survivors deprived of justice

Two sexual assaults reported at UW-Madison ended in injustice this month. Nathan Friar will serve eight years of probation for a second-degree sexual assault he was convicted of, and no jail time. Nicholas Ralston was found not guilty of third-degree sexual assault, despite sending a text stating, “...I sexually assaulted [the victim] last night...” It’s common for editorials or campaigns speaking out against sexual assault to open with statistics.

Cardinal View: Censoring hip-hop in bars is racist, does not promote student safety

Some campus-area bars don’t like black people or black music. No bar owner or manager specifically said this statement outright, but there is no doubt that places like Wando’s Bar & Grill and The Double U  filtering hip-hop music from their TouchTunes players sends that exact message to the campus and greater Madison community. Jay Wando, one of only a few to respond to interview requests from Cardinal reporters, said he doesn’t want “gangster hip-hop” because it might draw in a crowd “not driven by UW-Madison students.” He further defended his policy of filtering hip-hop music by claiming it to be a safety issue. “It’s just because we want UW students to be safe in a bar environment,” he said.
