Just for fun, if you want to see the blatant discrepancy in academic pedigree at Whitewater compared to UW-Madison pick any academic department website at Whitewater and compare it with UW-Madison. At Madison you will see professors from Harvard, Princeton, MIT, etc. These are the top schools in the nation according to US News and other sources. At Whitewater you'd be hard pressed to find even 1 professor from a top 5 school in the U.S. in most departments.

My roommate from my college days in Madison back in '04-'06 was a UW-Madison History major with an intent on majoring in education to become a high school history teacher. He couldn't get into the uber competitve School of Education at Madison so he transfered to Whitewater where ANYONE can become a teacher. Throughout the next two years at Whitewater he told me stories of how his GPA was never threatened and the course work was easy and how the quality of professors paled in comparison to those he had at UW-Madison. He said the competition at whitewater just wasn't as fierce as what he experienced at UW-Madison. I also had another roommate who transfered back home to the University of Arizona so he could get into the Electrical Engineering program there because Madison's was so tough to break into. Anyone who has gone to UW-Madison can testify to these things, and those of you attended satellite schools around the state will probably never understand these points.

You all might be surprised to learn that in addition to a BTC degree I hold a Bachelors degree from the UW-Madison. THE UW-Madison blows UW-Wastewater's business school out of the water. Harvard and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Tie in Turning Out the Most CEOs in US. So there you have it. The Dean's list is so large because of rampant grade inflation and lack of high academic standards at Wastewater. The quality of the professors at Wastewater pales in comparison to the flagship school in this state you local yokels.

Maybe they'll put forth an effort to curb the rampant grade inflation on campus. On the back page of the Gazette a couple of weeks ago the Dean's List was the ENTIRE back page. Apparently nearly everyone gets A's at UW-Wastewater.

It is sad that this country can send young men and women at age 18, who are legally adults, off to war to potentially die and yet this same country refuses to allow them to drink alcohol until age 21. Something doesn't seem right about that. The legal age of drinking and leaving the OWI laws up to the States' discretion are all serious things wrong with this country.

Germany should serve as a model nation when it comes to alcohol. A lot of the mystique and taboo of drinking is lost in Germany because their culture is so accustomed to it. It's not uncommon to see people over there having a drink for breakfast or to see 8 year old kids sharing a drink with their parents in a restaurant. Because of the social mores of drinking being lifted in Germany there are less people over there who don't know how to handle alcohol. Young people in Germany know how to handle alcohol before they are able to drive a car. The driving age over there is 18, but there is no limit on the drinking age. Ironically enough Germany has severe laws and penalties on drink driving, and because of this drunk driving is not a major issue in Germany. There simply is no tolerance for drunk driving in Germany. Often times people in the United States and Wisconsin are discovering alcohol for the first time in their late teens or early twenties and this is already after they have learned how to drive. They're trying to negotiate their alcohol tolerance with their driving at too late of an age. Learn how to handle alcohol before you learn how to drive.
On Obama's associations keep character suspect

hey lakennedy,
What's the title of this article we're commenting on? That's right. Obama's character. Granted this is one of many issues with Obama and it's probably a bit lower on the importance scale. Aside from character, Obama's political philosophy of wealth redistribution has finally been exposed for what it is and that is a very socialist far left agenda. It serves a stagnant reminder to those who still believe in the American Dream that working hard to earn your money and being successful won't pay off for you, but it will pay off for the loads of people in debt, have financial problems due to their own accord, and overall have made poor life decisions. I think McCain has finally broken through to a lot of people with his point about Obama's meeting with plumber Joe. Obama's weak ideology is summed up rather smuggly in these lines to Joe the plumber the day Joe confronted him about this:
"It's not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance for success too. My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody. I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."
Hey Obama I got news for ya. This is America. Home of capitalism. I'll gladly pay for your one-way ticket to a communist nation. This isn't the kind of ideology that encourages those with the money to create jobs in tough economic times. We need people like Joe the plumber to succeed and use that extra money to invest in their business to grow it and create more jobs for people. Obama's ideology is one that spawns the loads of bums on State Street in liberal downtown Madison, WI that you walk by and ignore daily LAKennedy. Here's a handout for you NOBAMA '08 and keep the change you bum.

RUSerious,
I don't hear McCain raising an issue about CNN or MSNBC during the middle of a debate.

On UW-Madison sees applications drop
Posted on February 12 at 5:11 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
KO84, I have a similar 3 school educational background and I am going to disagree with you and say that the value of my UW-Madison bachelor’s degree has outweighed the classes I took at Blackhawk Technical College and UW-Eau Claire. My UW-Madison education got me my foot in the door at a nationally known company that’s been on the Fortune 500 based out of Madison. My interviewing managers there said they like to see the UW-Madison degree, as both of them had it as well. They appreciated my technical college background as well because it grounded my liberal arts education in something practical, whereas my bachelor’s degree showed I could compete in the super competitive research institution environment at the state’s flagship school. At UW-Eau Claire I took my freshman year of general education courses and that school was wonderful, but ultimately I knew I would be competing for jobs in bigger city markets and knew that a UW-Madison degree from the bigger name school would give me an edge on the competition. You might already be aware that UW-Madison has tied Harvard in recent years in the number of CEOs produced for Standard & Poor’s 500 companies. I’d say Madison students are getting their money’s worth even during tough economic times. The down number of applications at UW-Madison is a result of the national economy forcing more people to look at tech and vocational schools as those are the needed positions in this economy. Anybody who thinks the UW only offers badger athletics to its students is blind to the superior quality of professors and opportunities there.
