UW sophomore works to fight colon cancer

By Leah Leonidas THE DAILY CARDINAL

Inspiring others to pursue their goals, whatever they may be, is the overarching goal of Keven Stonewall, a 19-year-old UW-Madison sophomore who has made incredible breakthroughs in colon cancer research. “I think a big thing I like to

show, and what I’ve been trying to show, is if you have a passion for something just go all in with it,” Stonewall said. “You never know where it’ll take you.” Following his own passions and using a type of treatment known as cancer immunotherapy, Stonewall created a vaccine to enhance T cells in the immune

system that naturally fight cancer. He began researching cancer and developing his vaccine during a summer internship at the Rush University Medical Center after his junior year of high school. Stonewall said his love for science sparked in fifth grade when

Freakfest crowd reported as chilled and chilled out The vast majority of the 35,000 people attending Freakfest on State Street Saturday were “wellbehaved” and there were no significant injuries or property damage, Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain said in a report. UW-Madison senior Michelle Turner agreed and said the crowd was more cold than rowdy. “There were a lot of people, but not so many people were dancing,” Turner said. “My sophomore year, the DJ played more dancing music, but this year, the

Mowgli’s did more sing-along, which is still fun, but not for hardcore dancing.” Turner attended Freakfest both her freshman and sophomore years, which she described as different experiences. “Freshman year was really fun, but probably because I was a freshman and there was nothing else to do,” Turner said. “This year it was cold, and I would rather just go to a bar.” She also said the police pres-

Beginning in Fall 2015, Ogg Residence Hall will only allow upperclassmen residents, as well as provide an additional career resource service, according to University Housing officials. Career Kickstart is an optional career-focused residential life program intended to help direct students with respect to majors and careers. The residence hall intends to have a full-time staff member that would coordinate activities with L&S Career Services in attempt to provide extra access to workshops, seminars and dinners for networking, along with extra interview practice. “By making Ogg an upperclassmen second year experience, it gives

returning students a place that they can be living amongst all upperclassmen, that they can have that second year experience in one of our newer, more popular locations,” University Housing Spokesperson Brendon Dybdahl said. The career resource program is entirely optional and boasts special discussion sections of LS210, a course open to all university students focused on career planning. The plans for the program and changes to Ogg Hall have been in the works since last spring, but didn’t come to fruition until the summer as details began to form, Dybdahl
