When six members of the UW-Madison student government denounced Mayor Dave Cieslewicz this week for violating students’ First Amendment right to freedom of assembly, were they:
A. Angry that the mayor had denied a permit for an anti-war march down State Street?
B. Upset that police broke up a demonstration against tuition increases?
C. Mad that they cannot use the Monona Terrace Convention Center to rally against world hunger?
The answer is “none of the above.” The reason the student leaders got their dander up was — They don’t want to pay $5 a head to get into the annual Halloween bash on State Street.
