Description: This is a nice, original July 7, 1971 issue of the Daily Cardinal. The Daily Cardinal is a student newspaper that serves the University of Wisconsin–Madison community. One of the oldest student newspapers in the country, it began publishing on Monday, April 4, 1892. The newspaper is financially and editorially independent of the university. During the 1960s, the Cardinal developed a national reputation for its vehement far-left politics. They were the first American newspaper to send reporters to Cuba, and after two of the Cardinal’s editors and two other campus radicals carried out the largest and most destructive car bomb attack until that point in United States history, the Sterling Hall bombing, the Cardinal ran editorials endorsing the bombing. They ran several editorials strongly protesting the Vietnam War and supporting causes of Civil Rights. In 1969, a group of conservative UW students, frustrated by the Cardinal’s unrelenting liberalism, founded The Badger Herald as a right-wing alternative. Until recently, UW-Madison was one of few American universities with competing daily news publications, though starting in 2014 that competition largely shifted online with the Cardinal cutting Friday editions and the Herald publishing print issues once a week. The 1970s saw the Cardinal maintain its strong issue advocacy, but opinion began to shift to more campus, rather than national, angles. In the last half of the decade, the paper continually attacked the university for its holdings in corporations that participated in apartheid in South Africa. Measures 11.5" x 18" and contains 16 pages. There is some mild surface discoloration and some wear at edges. Fragile Please study photos and Email with any question. A great addition to any collection!
