              THE 110TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DAILY CARDINAL

 Mr. KOHL. Madam President, I am proud to rise today to honor 
the Daily Cardinal, one of the student newspapers at the University of 
Wisconsin-Madison, on this the occasion of its 110th anniversary. For 
110 years, Cardinal reporters, photographers, and editors have educated 
and entertained their peers. As one of the nation's oldest student-run 
papers, it is truly a treasure of the State and its university.
  Since the newspaper's establishment in 1892 by a University of 
Wisconsin-Madison student, thousands of young journalists have covered 
some of the most important issues and events facing the university, the 
community, and the country. Cardinal contributors have simultaneously 
developed strong journalistic skills and informed their community by 
covering such important events as the United States' declaration of war 
in 1941 to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and most 
recently, the events and aftermath of September 11. Furthermore, the 
staffs of the Cardinal have served their journalistic role as public 
watchdog throughout its history, and have undoubtably made their 
university, community, and State better for it.
  As an alumni of the University of Wisconsin, it is my great honor to 
congratulate the Daily Cardinal for 110 years of dedicated and quality 
student journalism, and I wish them all the best as they extend this 
tradition.
