From the Desk of the Editors The Badger Herald is excited to announce its transition to a weekly print edition to supplement its growing digital presence

by Tara Golshan Editor-in-Chief

It’s a badly kept office secret that editorin-chief applicants all get the same question in their interview: Where do you see The Badger Herald in five years?

In other words, how will the editorial department ensure The Badger Herald is still relevant in five years?

As a cheat sheet to all Herald EIChopefuls, valid answers include, but are not limited to, The Badger Herald will have a stronger campus brand, continue to experiment and teach the next generation of journalists.

Last spring, in my interview, I answered: The Badger Herald will be fully digitally integrated with a revamped weekly print edition.

This year we, as a staff, have taken the time to critically look at our editorial, business, advertising and marketing models to shape the next generation of The Badger Herald.

As my final announcement as editorin-chief, I am excited to say in fall 2015, The Badger Herald will transition its print product to a weekly magazine tabloid on stands every Tuesday.

The Herald will continue to develop its video team, social media team, breaking news and digital-native content.

Over the past year, we have made a concerted effort to supplement our daily 2 • badgerherald.com • May 7, 2015

online coverage with two feature-first print editions a week, providing an analytical angle to local and statewide affairs.

Transitioning to a weekly print edition seemed as a natural next step.

With this transition, we will also expand our marketing and creative departments, develop partnerships with local student-run groups, included a merger with Humans of UW-Madison and make sure The Badger Herald is synonymous with UW’s lifestyle.

In the past months, I have watched our team tirelessly cover breaking city news, Gov. Scott Walker ’s obsession with “being bold,” nail-biting Badgers sports and Madison’s artsiest groups. We have contributed to campus, city and state discussions on our opinion page, and our video team demystified a campus legend.

My college experience, like many before me, has been defined by this organization.

The Herald is where I learned how to cover Board of Regents meetings, dress appropriately for news conferences in the Capitol, live tweet, show up to final exams covered in champagne and fall in love with Los Gemelos’ tacos.

The people in our office are the hardest working people I know. They put every ounce of their being into the Herald. For that, I am very grateful.

As I pass on my very old and dirty desk to the immensely talented Aliya Iftikhar, start reflecting on my four years and take out my last bag of Herald trash, I cannot help but think that we are absolutely doing something important.

I applied to be a copy editor at The Badger Herald as a senior in high school. Next week I will graduate from the University of Wisconsin with a degree in The Badger Herald. I could not be any prouder.

The Badger Herald began as an experiment.

We are edgy, against the current, constantly evolving, unrelenting — and the experiment is always ongoing.

Two years ago, The Badger Herald started the move to a digital-first model, cutting down to two print editions a week. Two years later, that model has seen success. We have developed a digital team that works on breaking news around the clock, a features section dedicated to long-form and investigative reporting and a social media presence that’s constantly growing.

We are independent student journalists, directly in tune with our readers and how they consume media, and we write and produce articles on issues we care about and would want to read ourselves.

The move to a weekly edition is only natural given our goals and our readership. It will foster creativity among the staff by continuing to move away from the stagnant structure of daily print newspapers.

Readers can expect more features across all sections. We’ll continue to push for longer, more in-depth stories and explainers, giving a wider view of student life. The weekly edition will tell students everything they need to know by recapping highlights of the past week and previewing what’s ahead.

We’ll also be expanding our video department, opening up a position for a banter

editor to offer lighter news commentary and continuing to expand our social media presence.

As I step into the shoes of editor-in-chief, I’m excited to continue to push the organization forward. I feel privileged to have a staff that feels so passionately about the work they do.

They are people who immediately reroute to breaking news situations, develop supernatural abilities to function without sleep and fine-tune their beer chugging skills from Bozo Buckets.

Two months ago, as the city reeled from a fatal officer-involved shooting that killed a black teenager, I watched our staff drop everything to come together and work tirelessly through their weekend. We were one of the first media organizations at the scene, and our coverage was picked up both nationally and internationally — a testament to the importance of student journalism.

This is a staff that inspires and pushes me to work harder every day.

I also have to give a shoutout to outgoing Editor-in-Chief Tara Golshan and managing editors Katie Caron and Polo Rocha. They are mentors and friends. They provided endless laughs with their trolls, and I can honestly say they taught me everything I know about journalism.

I am delighted that Polo will be coming back as our social media coordinator next year, but Tara and Katie’s presence will be missed.

Flanking my side as managing editors will be Rachael Lallensack and Briana Reilly, both of whom bring constant sass and wit that keeps everyone in the office on their toes.

Our readers are constantly on the go and always consuming media. My biggest goal as editor-in-chief is to deliver our product in the form you prefer — whether that’s print, online, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat or video.

As the Herald’s experiment continues, we hope you’ll join us.

Aliya Iftikhar is a junior majoring in international studies with certificates in global health and Middle Eastern studies.

UW to offer select language certificates, but not for Spanish Associated Students of Madison pushed all year for new program options in Italian, Russian, Central and Eastern European studies after surveys showed student interest

by Riley Vetterkind Campus Editor

After a nearly year long Associated Students of Madison campaign, University of Wisconsin plans to offer certificates in Russian, Italian and Central and East European studies in coming semesters.

The Italian department will offer a certificate beginning this fall after the University Affairs Committee approved it in April. The certificate in Central and East European studies is still awaiting approval, but will tentatively be offered in Spring 2016, while an implementation date for the Russian certificate remains unclear.

Angelito Tenorio, incoming University Affairs Committee chair, said the committee took up the issue of language certificates in fall 2014, an idea the newly elected ASM Chair Madison Laning proposed in her campaign two years ago.

In considering the idea of certificates, ASM leaders looked to French and German department leaders who previously implemented certificates to boost enrollment.

Tenorio said the results of a student body survey ASM sent out in September showed they were something students wanted.

“The demand is here,” Tenorio said. “[The university] should be providing the supply.”

According to the results of this survey, 95 percent of students enrolled or planning to enroll in a language at UW expressed interest in language certificates.

John Paetsch, outgoing University Affairs Committee chair, said ASM initially reached out to Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Hebrew, Eastern Asian languages and African languages. He said 4 • badgerherald.com • May 7, 2015

the languages they targeted were those that did not offer any type of certificate in either language or culture.

While Italian and Russian department heads were at first skeptical of certificates, ASM leaders and faculty in the French and German departments reassured them the benefits of certificates could easily outweigh drawbacks, Tenorio said.

Stefania Buccini, associate chair of the Italian department, said despite the results of a department survey in which 508 of 510 students expressed interest in a certificate, she was concerned a certificate would draw away from enrollment in the major.

But after speaking with colleagues in French and German, Buccini said it became evident a certificate, which is only three courses short of receiving a major, could actually increase Italian majors.

“We listened to the students and hope the certificate will definitely stimulate more interest in Italian culture and literature,” Buccini said.

Karen Evans-Romaine, chair of the Slavic languages department, said even though some faculty had briefly considered the idea of certificates, it was ASM representatives who spurred the initiative.

But for the 68 percent of Spanish students surveyed who expressed interest in a certificate, the likelihood of implementation remains clouded.

Cathy Stafford, chair of the undergraduate studies committee in the Spanish department, said despite clear interest in a certificate offering, students would not acquire sufficient fluency in the language for the professional world.

“It’s not that we’re unwilling to work with ASM in any way,” Stafford said.

“It’s just that from a pedagogical and real life standpoint, a certificate program just doesn’t make a whole lot of sense for Spanish.”

Additionally, she said especially due to budget cuts, the Spanish department could not afford to hire additional faculty to teach the influx of new students the certificate program would bring.

Even so, Tenorio said ASM will renew efforts in the fall to persuade the Spanish department to provide a certificate.

“We really want to focus on Spanish,” Tenorio said. “This is something students want.”

While UW will offer numerous certificate programs in the upcoming year, University of Wisconsin’s most popular language department will remain only as a major for the time being.

After a long winter, volunteers from the Hoofer Sailing Club prepare one of their oldest keelboats, Decoy, for the upcoming summer sailing season. Before the boat was put into storage at the end of the fall semester, it suffered damage to its keel and deck due to years without proper maintenance. Last Saturday morning, spectators gathered to watch a crane lower the boat into Lake Mendota and step the mast, which stands at over 42 feet tall. Club members will be able to use Decoy to practice performance racing and develop their group dynamics.

UW student leads clean-up initiative from her hammock In her semester spent lounging near Lake Mendota, University of Wisconsin freshman Hannah DePorter identified trash problem in Lakeshore Path Nature Preserve

by Gerald Porter Reporter

For 30 minutes a day, five days a week, all semester long, University of Wisconsin freshman Hannah DePorter would set up her hammock and spend time at Lakeshore Path Nature Preserve.

The preserve brings her a sense of serenity beyond its aesthetic purposes. To her, it is a place of meditation.

“I am so intrigued by nature because of the constant sense of discovery and wonder it instills in me,” she said. “There is never a time when I go outside and I don’t see something new. The landscapes and ecosystems are constantly changing and it is great to explore the unknown.”

But from her perch in the preserve, she discovered the area has a serious waste disposal problem.

Her journey was prompted through Nelson Institute Ph.D. candidate Trish O’Kane’s class “What Does the Fox Say: Sustainability from a Non-Human Perspective.” The class required students to choose a “territory” on campus to observe.

In her area of the preserve, DePorter observed trash build-up had become a problem. She saw this pollution was harmful to animals living within the habitat.

The Lakeshore Preserve is one of the few places on campus dedicated to remaining wild without urbanization, DePorter said.

“It’s important for people to see the amount of trash in the preserve to create more awareness that it’s not acceptable to throw something on the ground and expect it to 6 • badgerherald.com • May 7, 2015

vanish,” DePorter said.

Already an environmental advocate prior to her class project, DePorter ’s time at the Lakeshore Preserve Area went from being part of an academic quest for a sustainability class to a personally rewarding ecological adventure.

DePorter said her interest in sustainability and wildlife played a role in enrolling in O’Kane’s class, but as a resident of Aldo Leopold Hall, being outdoors was already a part of her daily routine.

“I spend the vast majority of my free time outside,” DePorter said. “Whether that be lying in my hammock, going on a walk, reading a book or doing homework, I love spending as much time as I can outside.”

DePorter said since age 10, ecological exploration has always been one of her passions. She said some of her fondest childhood memories were paddleboat rides with friends in a pond near her home.

Her experiences growing up lead her to become a wildlife ecology major, which fits perfectly with her passions and interests, though she is not certain where the future

will take her.

To help initiate environmental preservation throughout campus, DePorter presented her project and offered suggestions to Campus Master Plan officials on April 30.

DePorter said she and her classmates recommended planning officials place trash cans along the Lakeshore Path, plant more trees in the Southeast area, use porous asphalt to prevent water runoff into area lakes and even implement a beekeeping initiative.

The Campus Master Plan provides a broad outline of university building projects for the next 10 to 20 years. Officials will complete the update to the plan by fall 2016.

DePorter said she plans to attend public meetings in the future to follow up with campus planners.

“I think UW has a great commitment to sustainability and environmental preservation,” she said. “It’s important to make sure we treat the environment better than it is currently being treated because with the amount of trash, runoff and urban development, we are slowly destroying the natural land.”

UW freshman Hannah DePorter used a class project coupled with her love of nature to make big changes to campus cleanliness in the Lakeshore area.

Donor record bodes well for Walker Governor’s donation history puts him ahead of pack for 2016 bid

by Brenda McIntire Reporter

Gov. Scott Walker has not officially declared a 2016 presidential bid, but he stands near the top of potential candidates in terms of how much money he might bring in.

According to a recently released New York Times Upshot analysis of Federal Election Commission records, Walker has received more funding from the nation’s top 250 Republican donors during his gubernatorial races in Wisconsin than any potential GOP presidential candidate.

Walker received funding from 48 percent of the top 250 donors, while Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz received money from 30 percent and 20 percent of those donors, respectively.

As Jeb Bush hasn’t ran a campaign since 2002, he ranks lower in the analysis.

Although Walker has not announced his candidacy for the 2016 presidential election, David Canon, a University of Wisconsin political science professor, said he has established a good base for a potential campaign.

“It’s certainly a strong statement about the level of support among activist Republicans to have a strong Republican donor base,” Canon said. “Having an early start like this, where he has had success in raising money,

is definitely a positive sign for the Walker campaign.”

Two former Walker aides set up a super PAC last month to increase funding for supporting the potential campaign.

Unlike individual donations — which are limited to $2,700 and are highly regulated — in a super PAC, individuals, corporations and labor unions can give unlimited amounts of money with minimal regulation, UW political science professor Kenneth Mayer said.

The only restriction on super PACs is they cannot accept foreign money from non-citizens, and they’re not permitted to coordinate with the campaign.

Otherwise, he said, there “are virtually no limits.”

Although it’s difficult to determine the relative importance of having a super PAC, support from just a handful of big donors could potentially keep a candidate in the race longer than they might be otherwise, Mayer said.

“They can raise effectively unlimited amounts and if there’s a wealthy individual who wants to bank roll Ben Carson or Carly Fiorina’s PAC, they can do it and keep them in the campaign by themselves,” Mayer said. “These could be game changers for a candidate.”

Republicans say UW System likely to see full $300 million in cuts Legislative Fiscal Bureau finds no new revenue for state to make up for cuts; GOP says restoring funding for K-12 would take priority over higher education

by Nina Kravinsky State Editor

The University of Wisconsin System will likely face all of Gov. Scott Walker ’s proposed $300 million cuts.

The Legislative Fiscal Bureau announced Wednesday there are no new revenue projections over the next two years, meaning previous plans to reduce budget cuts to the system have now been put aside.

The Joint Finance Committee is currently reviewing the budget. The committee will make amendments and pass the draft on to the Assembly and Senate for approval.

Assembly Speaker Rep. Robin Vos, R-Rochester, told reporters Wednesday that previous plans to try to mitigate the UW System cuts might change under the new, unchanged revenue projection.

“Throughout the entire process, as the Assembly Republicans have said we would like to reduce the cut, much of it was predicated on the fact that we believed that there would be additional revenue,” he said.

“But we now know that additional revenue is not going to be there.”

Vos said reducing cuts to K-12 education remains the Assembly’s top priority, and if lawmakers are able to find additional savings they would begin to focus on other aspects of the budget, such as the UW System.

Last month, UW System President Ray Cross boldly stated he would resign from his position if the full cuts stayed in place and if shared governance is removed from the budget, both of which now appear likely.

Senate Majority Leader Sen. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, echoed this sentiment two weeks ago when he told WKOW 27

News the UW System would likely not be a priority if there were no new revenue projections.

Fitzgerald’s comments came a day after Walker warned the May revenue projections might not be as significant as previously hoped and a week after the UW Board of Regents voted to raise out-of-state tuition and tuition for some graduate programs.

“I think with the out-of-state and the graduate student tuition increases that the Regents implemented, there probably seems to be even less of a commitment to backfill that,” Fitzgerald said.

Fitzgerald also said K-12 education would take priority over the UW System budget.

Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca, D-Kenosha, said in a statement Walker ’s budget would hurt community schools and the LFB projections are an indication of poor planning on the part of Republicans.

“These weak revenue projections are another indication of the harm that three rounds of Republican budgeting, as well as their anemic economic development efforts, has done to our state,” Barca said.

LFB’s reappraisal comes shortly after lawmakers dropped plans to change the UW System to a public authority model, which would give it more autonomy and separate it from the state Legislature.

The public authority model was intended to offset some of the budget cuts, but UW System officials and lawmakers have voiced concerns about the process being rushed. Rep. John Nygren, R-Marinette, told reporters the shift would not take place this budget season.

“I think that it’s an idea that has some merit, but I think needs a little bit more time to study it and see what the true impacts would be,” Nygren said.

Campus accessibility falls short for some disabled UW students While some people find daily commute to class difficult, pointing to lack of handicap parking, university officials ensure efforts will continue even with budget cuts

by Maddie MaKoul Reporter

For Karen Brown, a disabled 63-year-old returning student who suffers from lupus, commuting to campus is unbearable.

Despite university efforts to adhere to accessibility requirements, Brown said University of Wisconsin falls short in meeting the needs of the disabled.

Brown said she must suffer through all types of weather to get to campus via public transportation because she cannot afford the high price of accessible parking spaces on campus.

“I have a perfectly functional car sitting steps outside my apartment,” Brown said. “I could avoid exposure to weather that so terribly aggravates the pain I’m in. However, nearly every state-sponsored disabled parking spot on campus has been removed and replaced by a ‘UW disabled’ parking 8 • badgerherald.com • May 7, 2015

spot.”

For Brown, these disabled parking spots, at $650, are nearly a month’s income, a price that makes the use of a personal car unfeasible, she said.

Brown gave a presentation to the Campus Master Plan officials outlining accessibility issues in late April.

The Campus Master Plan provides a broad outline of university building projects for the next 10 to 20 years. Officials will complete the update to the plan by fall 2016.

Cathy Trueba, director of the McBurney Disability Center at UW, said the best way to work around such barriers is to plan a schedule that considers the time it will take to get from point A to point B given the transportation available.

According to the UW Transportation Services website, the 2014-15 rates for parking permits range from $653 to $1,199 based on the parking space. Yet for those with disabilities, the parking

office works to give the cheapest space in the lot closest to their place of work, Trueba said.

Despite budget cuts, Trueba said the university will continue to make accessibility a priority as they continue to improve and renovate the campus.

A new solution UW tested this year is the Accessible Circulator Shuttle, which caters to those with disabilities by having a set route that will deviate upon request, Trueba said.

This shuttle aids in some of the issues traveling up Bascom Hill poses, Trueba said. It can take those who would have trouble walking up the hill directly to whichever building they need to go, unlike a typical bus route, which only stops at the top, Trueba said.

But this improvement isn’t enough for everyone, as traveling from off-campus locations provides another set of problems, Trueba said. When dealing with transportation to and from the university, both city and campus methods must be taken into

consideration and mapped out, Trueba said.

Top Tantivivant, UW accessibility coordinator, said despite complaints such as Brown’s, making sure campus is accessible to those with disabilities is a topic under consistent consideration and modification.

Tantivivant said there are certain accessibility requirements that must be met in any given building, such as automatic door openers, ramps, handrails and high-low drinking fountains. These modifications are designed to benefit people with and without disabilities, he said.

In the upcoming Master Plan, Tantivivant said they will continue to do assessments on the current state of accessibility and try to set priorities of what to add to improve and keep campus in compliance with federal and state guidelines.

“We always try to go above and beyond minimum requirements and try to use the concept of universal design to make sure things are accessible for everybody,” Tantivivant said.

years ago, it really took off,” Senatori said. “It was worlds colliding, me flying and trying to establish myself as a photographer.”

Senatori’s photographs have gained him over 800,000 Instagram followers.

He describes his collection of sweeping mountain landscapes, modern city centers, rows of houses and spaghetti-like freeways as almost scientific in nature.

While he would not call his work minimalist, he said some of those influences do make their way into his photographs, especially those taken directly overhead.

“I’m influenced by old aerial photographs from the early 1900s when you see huge cityscapes from a blimp or balloon, like shots of San Francisco and Chicago from the air,” he said. “That’s what I want 50 years from now, for people to look at my photos and see they are not overly processed. What you see is what you get.”

While hesitant to choose one over the other, Senatori said he slightly prefers photographs of cityscapes over natural areas because they allow the viewer to dive into the photo more so than in a photo of nature.

He said taking photos of cityscapes directly overhead further augments the viewers’ experiences, allowing them to spend more time examining what they’re seeing.

“Aerial invites the viewer to let their brain process a different perspective, whereas the ground-based photos don’t quite have that feeling,” he said.

While he said not flying commercially anymore is a bit strange to him, it does not really surprise him he’s not where he started out.

“I’m in a really good place now,” he said. “I’m still a pilot and am still teaching and am a full time photographer.

In a way, I feel like I’m getting both.”

Madison home to nation’s most expensive airport to fly out of Despite national trends, local airport officials report flight numbers are expanding

by Andrew Haffner Reporter

Of the 100 busiest airports in the United States, Madison’s airport is the most expensive to fly out of.

A study conducted by the Department of Transportation found an average ticket price of $504.75 out of Dane County Regional Airport, toward the end of 2014.

In comparison, Los Angeles International Airport averages $435, while Sanford, Florida averages just $99 per ticket.

While many students use the airport when flying to and from Madison, University of Wisconsin junior David Zeitlin, a Nashville, Tennessee native, said he is not surprised to learn just how steep the cost of a ticket is relative to other airports. He flies to Chicago instead.

“Ticket prices were always pretty expensive, which has been the main inhibitive factor for me,” he said. “I usually take a bus to Midway and fly out of there because of the price, so I’d only use the Madison airport if it was my only option to get somewhere with limited time.”

The comparatively high fares out of Madison’s regional airport are largely due to a mix of factors, including the presence of much larger airports nearby in Milwaukee and Chicago. The Madison airport is relatively small, and the high level of demand for tickets increases the airfares, Brent McHenry, airport director of marketing, said.

The top spot on the cost list “isn’t a great place to be at,” McHenry said.

“We’re not happy about it, but at the same time we understand the dynamics of the situation,” McHenry said.

It is not uncommon to see out-of-state students at the airport, with the greatest numbers seen during holiday and spring

break travel, McHenry said.

For these students, higher fares aren’t a cause to forgo the convenience of an airport located about six miles from the middle of campus.

UW junior Cory Epprecht, a Cleveland, Ohio native, said he wasn’t bothered by the news and would continue flying through Madison, citing the comparative ease he felt in actually moving through security and onto his flight.

“My experience there has always been positive, and it might be a smaller airport, but it’s more convenient because it’s essentially right where I live,” Cory said. “It makes sense to drive to Milwaukee and fly from there, but the proximity of Madison and the fact that it’s just less taxing to get to and fly from makes it worth it for me.”

Even with the reportedly high fares, the number of passengers flying through the airport has risen steadily over the last few years, McHenry said.

“While other airports have reduced the number of flights and carriers they can offer, we’ve actually been able to expand,” he said. “That’s a pretty exciting thing.”

The Department of Transportation pricing statistic could use a more nuanced approach, McHenry said.

One-way fare is the industry standard for determining average rates, but the Department of Transportation study calculated average fares with a mix of one and two-way flights, McHenry said.

While the news about high fares might be discouraging, McHenry was optimistic about the parallel growth of the airport and the city.

“I think as Madison continues to grow as a destination, we’ll see our airlines start offering more,” he said. “More flights, more non-stop destinations, larger aircrafts — and that can change our pricing dynamic.”

Local coffee cooperative brews mix of activism, fair trade For Madison business owners Matthew Earley, Mike Moon, ‘politics has always been an inherent component’ of coffee as they support 24 roasters in various countries

by Riley Vetterkind Campus Editor

For Just Coffee Cooperative, the name does not quite say it all.

The names of the coffee varieties this Madison-based cooperative produces — from revolution and solidarity roast to Ugandan pride — reveal inklings of its activist mission.

Matthew Earley, who founded the cooperative along with Mike Moon after beginning graduate school at University of Wisconsin, traces his coffee roots back to his time as an undergraduate at University of Kentucky. It began when he was building schools for children whose parents fought in the Zapatista movement in Chiapas, Mexico.

Working in the highland regions of northern Mexico, Earley soon found himself working alongside coffee farmers who he knew could be making more than the paltry $0.25 per pound of coffee they were making at the time.

In a true activist fashion, Earley used his passion of bettering the lives of small scale Mexican coffee growers into a reason to apply to graduate school at UW, where he said he planned to write his thesis on ways these growers could increase earnings.

But his graduate school beginnings soon led to a mission-driven business venture after he and some grad school friends began building a relationship with a Mexican coffee grower cooperative.

The relationship consisted of Earley and Moon soliciting buyers in Madison and Milwaukee who would pay the fair trade price the Mexican cooperative asked for.

As it turns out, Earley and Moon’s failure in this task led them straight through a percolator of securing loans and partnerships into the cup of what would become Just Coffee Cooperative in 2012.

The mission of the cooperative at the time was to sell the Mexican cooperative’s beans.

Since then, Just Coffee’s vital stats are a world away from what they were in 2002, though their activist mission has remained 12 • badgerherald.com • May 7, 2015

the same. Earley said the cooperative is poised to earn over $3 million this year, has expanded its territory to cover 35 states and has increased hiring to include nearly 30 employees.

“None of us are business people,” Earley said. “We all come from a political activist background and wanted this to be an experiment, and it still is, of showing how you can serve more people the right way, but also be successful.”

And believing wholeheartedly in the cooperative model, Just Coffee has joined with 24 other roasters to source coffee from small-scale growers across various countries in Mexico, Central and South America and Africa.

But what becomes clear with Just Coffee, which Earley said originally built up its foundation after attending farmers markets and political protests, is its dedication to the political realm.

“We have always been a lot louder about our politics and beliefs than other businesses, instead of trying to always remain neutral and say business and politics are separate,” Earley said. “We all know that’s not true.”

Given Just Coffee’s unique mash-up of business and politics, Earley said it became vital that the cooperative hold high a banner of transparency, going so far as to post profit and loss statements along with contracts right on their website.

“If we recognize the world and governments are influenced heavily by business, we want to provide a model for a transparent business,” Earley said.

Throughout the years, Earley said the cooperative has been involved in campaigns supporting the LGBTQ community and Zapatista movement. The cooperative also helps farmer groups and other groups politically aligned with Just Coffee’s members.

Earley is even a board member of the non-profit On the Ground, which supports sustainable community development in agricultural regions worldwide through promoting water projects, gender equality, school building. The nonprofit also helps with recovery from roya, a fungus blighting coffee crops especially in Latin American countries.

The roya epidemic has unfortunately led to many of the coffee growers Just Coffee relies on to become unable to meet demand.

Earley said one particular operation in El Salvador could barely meet 20 percent of its usual production. So Just Coffee took it on as yet another subject of activism.

Because Earley said climate change has contributed to the spread of roya, as well as more volatile weather conditions in

Earley thought of his coffee business idea as an undergraduate at the University of Kentucky, when he built schools for children whose parents fought in the Zapatista movement in Chiapas, Mexico.

But while politics has always been an inherent component of Just Coffee’s mission, Earley said with a new generation of coffee connoisseurs coming of age, the cooperative has had to make some adjustments. Because these new coffee drinkers seem to be focused on taste just as much as on activism, Earley said the cooperative has worked hard to perfect coffee flavor.

“Coffee has always been the vehicle for what we want to do, but now it might be that artisanal flair is first and politics second,” Earley said.

Best Coast’s latest will make you want to get high Coastie duo’s ‘California Nights’ offers similar Beach Boys-esque sound with strong Golden State themes

by Andie Burjek ArtsEtc. Staff Writer

Like the rest of Bobb Bruno and Bethany Cosentino’s musical oeuvre, California Nights is a tribute to the west coast. The quintessential coasties write catchy, mellow, pleasant poetry about California, which they dub as the “best coast” and “the only place” in their work. There’s nothing subtle about it, and that’s OK. California Nights is the newest addition to this collection of love songs.

There’s nothing particularly unique about Best Coast’s new album. The songs would fit seamlessly on the duo’s other albums, Crazy For You (2010) and The Only Place (2012). Consistency is a strong area for Best Coast. Cosentino and Bruno don’t necessarily take risks to experiment with something new in their music, but they don’t need changing. All three albums feature either upbeat or heartbreaking tracks, all with their signature charming, mellow musical style.

“Heaven Sent” is one of the stronger numbers on California Nights. It has that joyful vibe that especially resembles the tracks on Crazy For You, like “Each and Every Day” and “The End.” “Heaven Sent” has a Beach Boys, beach-party feel that makes you want to take a jog by the ocean and talk to attractive lifeguards.

“You are the one that I adore, that I adore,” Cosentino sings repeatedly. It’s this type of romantic, naïve, summer-love optimism that isn’t too prevalent in the rest of the album.

Despite the surfer style, the duo never strays from songs about the less-thansweeter things in life. Previous albums included “Our Deal” and “Do You Love Me Like You Used To,” both tragic. The most recent album includes “In My Eyes” and “Sleep Won’t Ever Come,” among others.

On California Nights, “In My Eyes” tackles making a mistake and paying for it.

“I face the fact that you’re not ever coming back,” Cosentino sings. “What hurts the most is that you’re gone, and it hasn’t

even been that long.”

They’re simple lyrics, but they still feel powerful with their simplicity and Cosentino’s emotional delivery. They’re not trying too hard to say something deep about melancholy; they just tell it like it is.

That’s one of Best Coast’s strong suits; the duo is frank in their lyrics about everything from emotions to obsession with California.

The title track, “California Nights,” is slower, more disorganized and trippy.

Whereas “Heaven Sent” evokes beach parties and sun, “California Nights” speaks of a different side of California — quiet nights getting high at an empty beach at sunset. It’s more calm and less literal than the rest of the album.

What’s valuable to note about California Nights is, other than “Heaven Sent,” no song seems stronger or weaker than another. Just like Best Coast’s style, subject matter and sound is consistent across its albums; its songs are consistent on California Nights. As a duo that idolizes the state, it makes

sense that they would stay with their roots and maintain that west coast style, rather than try something new or experimental.

What’s On Tap: UW’s first student-crafted beer Wisconsin Brewing Company paired with three food science department students to create balanced lager Inaugural Red which debuted at Memorial Union this week process was like an education in a 16-ounce glass. The students had to combine science and

by Garth Beyer ArtsEtc. Columnist

If you’ve been to the Terrace since May 1, you may have noticed a Wisconsin Brewing Company’s new brew on tap. It’s quite distinct: cardinal red, shaped like the state of Wisconsin.

What you can’t gather from the tap handle is that the brew — dubbed Inaugural Red — was the product of three food science students who were part of Campus Craft, a collaboration between University of Wisconsin’s Department of Food Science and the Wisconsin Brewing Company.

Last May, Kirby Nelson, brewmaster at Wisconsin Brewing Company, suggested asking students to brew beer for a competition.

Those in the Food Science Department and WBC discussed the idea and as Nelson put it, “The rest is tasty history.”

David Ryder of MillerCoors said the entire

creativity to create an artistic beer — something homebrewers spend years trying to master.

But the student interaction didn’t stop there; School of Business members helped market the beer and opening event.

Producing beer is more than just discipline, according to Nelson, and the team caught the spirit of it all perfectly. They worked together to bring a brew to market on an industrial scale.

While everyone in the class worked to brew the beer, only three students can call it their own.

Andrew Lefeber, Sean Hinds and Paige Wolff came up for the Inaugural Red recipe during a class-wide competition earlier this year.

“It was a day dream turned reality,” Lefeber said. “When they told us we were the winner, I was taken aback.”

During the celebration, Nelson said he wished the first beer he formulated had tasted as good as the Inaugural Red.

And Memorial Union is not the only place you can try a sip of their experimental brew — multiple locations around Wisconsin and Northern Illinois now offer Inaugural Red. For this week’s column, I relaxed by Lake Mendota while trying Madison’s campuscrafted beer, Inaugural Red.

Who let the dogs back out?

The Bahamas’ premier Junkanoo band Baha Men return after a decade of silence with LP incorporating reggae, African, pop, R&B flavors

by Selena Handler ArtsEtc. Editor

Their manager had promised them major arenas, festival main stages and venues to match the band’s exorbitant fame. But just five years after releasing an internationally chart-topping single, the musical geniuses behind “Who Let the Dogs Out” were playing backyard birthday parties and collecting deposits on big shows they never played.

The story of the Baha Men’s descent into irrelevance is a Macbeth-like tale full of drama and mixed with some comedic relief. Over the last decade, the band’s biggest success came to be their fatal flaw.

The track that led them to instant fame also transformed the band into more of a cultural icon than a living, breathing performance band.

Blatant mismanagement and exploitation of the band’s fame marked the end of Baha Men’s performing days.

“The band would be told that an event would be a certain caliber and then you show

Let the Dogs Out’ isn’t just a hard “act‘Who for Baha Men to follow. It’s a hard act for anybody to follow.”

Dyson Knight Baha Men up and it’s somebody’s birthday party,” Dyson Knight, a lead vocalist Baha Men, said.

“And it’s not even someone’s birthday party like the Prince of Someplace, it would be the manager ’s neighbor ’s kid and it would be like only 50 people there.”

Fifteen years later, the nine-member Bahamian band is looking to embed themselves in the international music scene again. They want to escape what their classic track has made them become — merely musical interludes at soccer stadiums and as a sentimental and often ironic element to movie soundtracks — to a more humble, musically focused place. It’s not a comeback, 16 • badgerherald.com • May 7, 2015

it’s not a reunion, it’s a reintroduction, Knight said.

Although the band produced three more studio albums after the release of the Who Let the Dogs Out album and really never stopped producing music, the band slipped away from international consciousness.

That one fated single took over the band’s image, but now the band hopes to leverage that fame to prove they can create current, relevant Bahamian native music today, Knight said. “‘Who Let the Dogs Out’ isn’t just a hard act for Baha Men to follow. It’s a hard act for anybody to follow,” Knight said. “It’s bigger than a lot of big songs. Its too late now to do anything about it. You just ride the waves, and hopefully it is just a device to get people to listen to more of our music.”

With an album officially slated for June 2015 — on the 15-year anniversary of the Who Let The Dogs Out release — and a three-record deal with Sony Latin America, Baha Men will re-enter the market after years of relative obscurity with music they believe will appeal to a large, international audience while staying true to their regional flavor, Knight said.

The band signed to Sony Latin America three years ago, when the CEO saw Baha Men perform at the Sony Latin American Conference. The higher ups at Sony asked locals who was the best in the area and they pointed to Baha Men, who woke from dormancy to perform at the conference.

Three songs in, Sony asked a friend of the band if they were interested in signing and, while simultaneously playing the show, Baha Men agreed.

They already had a full repertoire of music they had produced and never released. The first release was supposed to be an EP, but it was postponed three times because the band

wanted to add more music, and now Ride with Me will be a full length studio album.

This album will carry the same polished take on the Bahamas’ native Junkanoo sound, but will also incorporate elements of Latin and African flavors. Their Grammy award-winning producer Troyton Rami brings a ska/reggae influence, while Rik Carey brings straight R&B vocals and Leroy Butler puts a pop spin on the R&B vocals, Knight said.

Another distinguishing factor of this album is their focus on feel. They are more concerned with the vibes of the album than its component parts. Over poignant lyricism and precise production, Ride With Me should be a feel good piece.

“There is no fighting or bickering or complaining on the album.” Knight said. “It’s just positive. And I think a lot of people are going to get that from this album. It is going to uplift a lot of people.”

The single “Night and Day,” which was featured on the FIFA World Cup album, reflects this carefree sentiment. Steady guitar

The nine-member band has changed a lot since their world famous album ‘Who Let the Dogs Out’ was released in 2000, but their music remains loyal to traditionally Bahamian sounds.

rhythms and light percussion take a backseat to many harmonizing, feathery vocals. It’s the type of music that induces hip swaying and dancing.

Knight said Baha Men’s main goal is to remain a performance band. They are real musicians, unafraid to play acoustically and without frills, he said.

The band will release their album May 8 to local audiences during the Bahamas Junkanoo Carnival. When it is released internationally in June, “Who Let the Dogs Out” die hard fans and new listeners alike will find out if Baha Men is truly ready to reenter the world’s stage.

EDITORIAL BOARD HEADLINERS The Badger Herald Editorial Board aims to be a voice of the student community, weighing in on issues of importance to students regarding campus, local and state affairs.

As we approach the end of another semester, the Board has chosen to recognize six significant moments.

Here are the semester ’s most award-worthy occurrences.

The Get Off My Bench Award: Madison Mayor Paul Soglin

Erik Brown The Badger Herald

For years Madison Mayor Paul Soglin has skirted the city’s homelessness issues. He continues to take little-to-no responsibility for the persistent lack of a day shelter — pinning almost sole blame on Dane County. When he does take action, more often than not his policies seem to be efforts to hide the homeless from the public, rather than efforts to offer actual aid.

In 2013, Soglin moved to prohibit the homeless from being in the City County Building. He also wanted to hire a private

security guard for the entrance of the building.

These measures were met with backlash from the homeless and advocates, as well as Dane County Executive Joe Parisi.

This year was an election year — the perfect time to get real about helping the homeless.

Thus, Soglin proposed a plan to build permanent housing to help people get off the streets. While his proposal was met with warranted accusations of convenient timing, it was a welcome change of pace from his previous approach, as it could actually do some good for Madison’s homeless.

But as Soglin coasted to another term as mayor in April, winning around 70 percent of the vote along the way, we’re back to the good old days. His most recent effort includes imposing a time limit for public bench use to deal with the issue of “drifters.” This measure basically says, “If you’re gonna be homeless, be homeless somewhere people won’t see you.”

For his triumphant return to policies that invoke the image of an irate old man shooing children from his lawn, we award Soglin the Get Off My Bench Award.

The Nail in the Coffin Award: UW’s chapter of Chi Phi fraternity We all know that fraternities haze their members, but every so often a truly fucked up hazing ritual comes to light. This semester the spotlight was on UW’s chapter of Chi Phi, which was terminated in March for several disturbing rituals that violated student conduct policies.

The UW administration learned of hazing practices including food deprivation, forced

alcohol consumption, cramming pledges into an attic and hooded isolation.

One ritual, called the “Eye of Chi Phi,” involved convincing pledges to stick their finger in a member’s anus while blindfolded.

While jars of Nutella were substituted for anuses, pledges were led to believe they were carrying through with the sexual act.

Another ceremony involved putting

pledges inside of coffins, which led to an incident where a drunk fraternity member stomped on a coffin and sent the student inside it to the hospital with a concussion.

We’re excited to extend the Nail in the Coffin Award to UW’s chapter of Chi Phi for sealing its organization’s fate on campus in the most WTF way. Nice job, guys.

The Take the Money and Run Award: Devon Maier

Erik Brown The Badger Herald 20 • badgerherald.com • May 7, 2015

Emulating the true spirit of national politicians, soon-to-be-former Student Services Finance Committee Chair Devon Maier recently did away with a practice that awarded SSFC leadership an additional stipend — after collecting his share over the past two semesters.

Aside from receiving stipends out of tuition, the SSFC chair, vice chair and secretary were also collecting about $1,000 in additional income, kindly supplementing their already-free tuition.

After a year of accepting the stipend, Maier admitted at the final meeting of the semester that although he was aware SSFC leadership should not be making an income exceeding 100 percent of tuition, he “wasn’t going to break precedent.”

But he had no qualms about breaking that precedent for future leaders.

For holding on to antiquated practices as long as it’s personally beneficial, we award Maier the Take the Money and Run Award.

The JaMarcus Russell Award for Drafting Errors: Gov. Scott Walker Tuesday, Feb. 3, Walker released his budget proposal for the University of Wisconsin System, which included a tuition freeze extension, $300 million in budget cuts over two years and a typo.

Or rather, as Walker put it over tweet, “a drafting error,” which drastically changed the Wisconsin Idea — the UW System’s century-old guiding mission.

Walker ’s “accidental” amendment debuted an abridged version of the Wisconsin Idea. It redacted holistic sentiments such as “improving the human condition” and the “search for truth.”

The statement was reconstructed to read;

“The mission of the system is to develop human resources to meet state workforce needs.”

The revisions were more tailored for a technical college than a top-ranked research institution. UW affordably provides a liberal arts education in a research-heavy environment. That takes money and resources, but Walker doesn’t seem to get that. Ironically, this error — of judgment — has rendered the governor seemingly uneducated on the topic of public higher education as a whole.

His proposed cuts, according to UW Chancellor Rebecca Blank’s speech in

front of the UW System Board of Regents, would leave the university with a $91 million hole in funding.

A probable presidential candidate, the governor understands how to push forward a conservative agenda and diminish the state’s responsibility to public education. Changing the UW System’s mission was his way of testing the waters to see how far he could go.

Former Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell was a drafting error; Walker ’s amendment butchering the Wisconsin Idea was a calculated political play.

The Sesquipedalian Award: Nigel Hayes

Jason Chan The Badger Herald

No one could ask for a better basketball team than this year ’s Badgers. More family than team, their run to win a Big 10 title, and later to the national championship game, united first the Grateful Red and later the nation.

While these National Championship efforts fell short, the national media still recognized the incredible feat the Badgers had accomplished. Posts such as “23 Reasons The Wisconsin Badgers Still Won The NCAA Tournament” stormed newsfeeds, highlighting just how beloved this team is.

And while all players are deserving of

recognition, one player stands out among the rest. As an irreplaceable part of that team, Nigel Hayes epitomizes the team’s spirit that enamoured fans across the nation.

Hayes made headlines during the tournament for his press conferences, which he started with multitudinous big words to make the stenographer ’s life interesting.

What’s more, Hayes’ mic caught him asseverating about how “beautiful” the stenographer was.

For being the most likeable member of the most likeable team, we give Nigel Hayes the Sesquipedalian Award.

The Right-to-Whaaat? Award: Wisconsin state Legislature Republicans Right-to-work legislation was not exactly a surprise. Given Gov. Scott Walker ’s history with unions, it was only a matter of time before he moved to further weaken labor ’s power.

What did come as a surprise, however, was how quiet the whole ordeal was.

Compared to the protests against Act 10, this was an extremely subdued affair.

This is due in part to protest fatigue — after throwing all their resources against Act 10, and then against Walker during his

recall elections, the weight of inevitability may have been too much for labor organizers.

But more importantly, a perfect storm of events took place to distract people from right-to-work legislation. Much of the UW community was already focused on the proposed higher education budget cuts.

Soon after the bill’s passage, the shooting of Tony Robinson mobilized Madison.

Essentially, there was no shortage of things to protest this spring, and right-to-work

got pushed to the bottom of the list.

All of this, combined with the bill’s ludicrously quick trip through the Legislature, allowed right-to-work to pass with shockingly little fanfare. We wouldn’t be surprised if a majority of students hadn’t even heard of it before it passed.

For adding Wisconsin to the country’s growing list of right-to-work states without sparking massive protests, we give state Republicans the Right-toWhaaat? award.

UW journalism school finally takes steps to modernize its curriculum While department’s academic research is one of world’s best, practical training on digital, data reporting has struggled to keep pace with changes in technology

by Polo Rocha Managing Editor

I started reporting this column as a pissed off journalism student. It’s not that I’m ungrateful for the wonderful classes and professors I’ve had at University of Wisconsin’s journalism school. It’s that my experience there lacked something: indepth training in data and digital journalism.

Like most journalism students, I’ve picked up those skills elsewhere, at internships and at The Badger Herald, where I was managing editor this semester. But expecting students to get that experience elsewhere helped create a department that, until this year, wasn’t fully committed to making significant curriculum changes.

Keeping a modern curriculum is an issue journalism schools across the country grapple with (seriously, there are lengthy reports and coverage of this). I should also note the more traditionally academic side of UW’s journalism school, which researches the industry, is among the best in the world. But the practical side of UW’s J-school, which teaches students how to actually be a journalist, has failed to keep up with changing technology.

After interviewing students, recent graduates, professors and local journalists for this column, I’m no longer as pissed off. Because here’s the good news: The J-school recognizes the issue and is finally doing something about it.

For those unfamiliar with UW’s J-school, this is how it works. Each semester, 120 students begin their training by taking the introductory six-credit J202 lecture, where instructors have the unenviable task of teaching students with varying levels of experience and interests.

J-school students then pick one of two tracks — reporting or strategic communications — and take an intermediate 300-level class in the track they choose (some students choose both tracks). This spring, two-thirds of J-schoolers enrolled in the strategic communications intermediate class, up from 58 percent in fall of 2010.

Finally come the advanced 400-level skills classes. Some of these focus more on writing and reporting while others cover new media, but many students only end up taking one or two of the skills classes (only one is required). So the students who get to enroll in the new data visualization class benefit greatly from it, but the rest of the J-school 22 • badgerherald.com • May 7, 2015

doesn’t. The solution is revamping the introductory and intermediate courses, which is exactly what the J-school is finally trying to do.

Under a proposal awaiting university approval, J202 would be split into two classes. One class will somewhat resemble the current J202, introducing students to the practice of journalism; the other will cover finding information, analyzing data and telling stories with data. This change is expected to happen in fall of 2016.

Hemant Shah, the J-school’s new director, said the current J202 class doesn’t always meet its goal of helping less experienced students get up to par with others in the class, which gradually caused the 300-level intermediate classes to cover more basic material.

The plan, then, is to strengthen the introductory classes and in turn make the intermediate classes “truly intermediate,” Shah said.

But this can only happen if all instructors of J335, the intermediate reporting class, commit themselves to improving the class. Some earlier lectures spent covering the basics of what a story is, how to write a lede and how to ask questions should almost be a given by that point, or at least condensed.

Instructors must also try to align what they teach, as they often choose to prioritize some elements of journalism over others. This model has its strengths and is partly rooted on academic freedom, but it can also leave students unprepared in topics their individual instructors don’t cover.

To help with that, professor Lew Friedland has proposed a set of online modules that instructors could use in any J-school class. It’s an idea he stressed is still very much in the works (and needs funding for its development), but it could provide more training to students in areas the J-school currently falls short on.

If, in fact, the J-school develops those modules — which it should — instructors actually need to use them. Instructors shouldn’t shy away from these modules because they’re uncomfortable with teaching the topics. They also shouldn’t simply assume students know how to use technology effectively, because I guarantee most students don’t. It’s a delicate balance to strike, as the J-school shouldn’t be the place to learn the bells and whistles of software programs. But every intermediate reporting student should leave J335 with a clear understanding of how journalism works in a digital

Erik Browne The Badger Herald

world and how digital tools enhance reporting.

Right now, only some do.

There’s little doubt that the J-school faces budget challenges, including losing the funds to hire working journalists to teach for a semester. It’s also losing 20 percent of its faculty next year, with Jo Ellen Fair going to another UW department and Molly Steenson, Shawnika Hull and Pulitzer Prize winner Deborah Blum heading to other opportunities. But I applaud Shah and the J-school for finally finding a way to work within those constraints rather than assuming it can’t revamp its education because of budget issues.

Students are also a bit at fault here. We all know those J-school students who interview their friends or turn in half-assed work to their professors, in part because they know some instructors are more willing to accept work that a real newsroom wouldn’t. But more prevalent are the students who don’t take full advantage of the opportunities the J-school and campus have to offer. For example, it’s rare to see many students (or for that matter, faculty) at journalism conferences on campus where you actually get to learn from people in the field.

And as Nick Penzenstadler, a J-school and The Badger Herald alum who’s now at USA Today, said, students also don’t reach out or follow up with the numerous J-school alumni and visitors willing to give advice.

Still, the J-school should make a bigger push to emphasize the importance of networking and attending conferences, as well as taking advantage of opportunities outside the J-school, such as free software training from the university or useful

classes in other departments.

More importantly, the J-school should encourage students to publish their work, and it should further its partnerships with publications to ensure students get clips. The amount of stories that go unpublished in journalism classes is astounding, and students can’t use these unpublished clips when applying for internships.

I’ll make a plug for student media opportunities on campus, particularly the two student newspapers. I clearly favor joining The Badger Herald, as that’s where I learned to crank out four or five stories a day, helped develop a voice for the newspaper on social media and, most importantly, got to pass on the things I learned as a reporter and editor to younger student journalists.

It’s also where I learned to think about how journalism works as a business, how to understand who our audience is and how to reach them. It’s the question on every media outlet’s mind, and it’s one that a talented group of student journalists and I are figuring out as a fully independent student newspaper. Our move today to a weekly newspaper, as well as the growth in our digital content the past few years, reflects that thinking.

J-school students, I know your schedules might already be packed, but you need to make sure you get the most out of UW and its J-school. There’s a lot of debate right now over whether a journalism education is worth it. I still think it is, but only if you try.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Journalism school will focus on adaptability, work to integrate new media Polo Rocha has written a great column about the J-school. I may have a few quibbles here and there, but it is a fair, well-researched and thought provoking piece of reporting. He could have written a seat-of-the-pants list of

reasons the J-school pissed him off. Instead, Rocha dug deep — he talked to students and faculty, consulted employers and sought out alumni now working in the field. Then he wrote a nuanced analysis of the situation supported with solid evidence.

None of that is at all surprising, of course, given Rocha is a product of the J-school. In fact, we in the J-school would like to take just a tiny bit of the credit for Rocha’s work. He was trained in a department that emphasizes a curriculum integrating the professional practice of journalism and strategic communication, and packages it all in a liberal arts envelope.

We could just teach students the intricacies of Photoshop or Tableau, but that is not the J-school way.

Our founder, Willard Bleyer, taught us the future of democracy is dependent upon the character of its newspapers. We’re not that print-centric today, but we know that instruction in law, ethics, media effects, history

and so on is vital for any well-rounded, professional communicator. I think Rocha’s column is a great reflection of what he learned in the J-school (and at The Badger Herald, I’m sure), and we are proud of that.

But also, the column challenged us, and we recognize the J-school has work to do on several fronts. It’s true some students are not fully served when it comes to emerging media. But I think the issue is less about specific technologies and more about being nimble enough to adapt to the new media environment and advance the ways journalism education is delivered at UW. The constantly evolving media landscape has not always been adequately reflected in some of our courses. But recently, the J-school has begun to offer courses on social media and news, data

visualization, long-form and short-form digital video, digital media practices and others that Rocha probably would have loved to take.

Meeting the challenges of the new media environment led us in 2000 to launch what many considered a groundbreaking curriculum.

That curriculum had a central vision: adaptability. We knew that any technology we trained students to use would be outdated by the time they graduated. So we focused more on instilling the mindset and work ethic to sense emerging opportunities and learn to use them.

That’s what J202 is all about.

For me, the beauty of Rocha’s column is that it so well reflects the skills introduced in J202 and developed in advanced courses. Yes, it’s true, we need to rethink J202 and other courses now for a variety of reasons, but we’ll never lose the emphasis on fundamentals like careful gathering and distilling of evidence and compelling storytelling, which is evident in Rocha’s column.

The current curriculum revision will continue to focus on those basic building-block skills, but will also require students to take an introductory course that revolves around important new skills that professional communicators must

have. In the new curriculum, students will learn about data analysis and visualization, design and use of databases and sophisticated multi-platform communication. Intermediate and advanced courses will build on these skills and help students produce, we hope, highly developed content.

Finally, I couldn’t agree with Rocha more when he encouraged students to get the most out of UW and the J-school. Faculty and staff are working diligently to help prepare J-schoolers for the communication jobs of tomorrow and it’s always great to hear from students about their experience.

Wisconsin’s minimum wage requires hike to provide for basic needs

by Adam Johnson Columnist

Rep. Melissa Sargent, D-Madison, introduced a bill last week to increase Wisconsin’s minimum wage from the current $7.25 to $15. And while it’s easy to say that a $15 minimum wage is too much for Wisconsin, it is harder to find an actual solution.

I doubt anyone really thinks Sargent’s bill will pass in the state Legislature. Hell, it might not even have passed on Madison’s Common Council had it been introduced there. But I strongly disagree with Tuesday’s column that the legislation is ridiculous.

Even though the bill won’t pass, the point is not to pass the bill; it’s to bring more public attention to a problem that is only growing worse with each passing year.

I don’t know if $15 is too much, but I do know the current level is too low. In order to determine what is appropriate, we must first decide what a minimum wage actually is. The core problem is minimum wage has stagnated while the U.S. economy has grown substantially. Even though full-time workers at minimum wage in 2015 have

not realized the benefits of a growing economy over the last 40 years, I argue these workers should be able to afford the housing, food and transportation required to live a decent life.

Through earning $7.25 per hour at a minimum wage job, a full-time worker with no time off during the year will earn about $15,000. Taking a Congressional Budget Office-estimated 34.8 percent marginal tax rate into account, this worker’s takehome income is $9,780. The marginal tax rate is the portion of an additional dollar of income paid in taxes or offset by reduction in benefits. So, for every dollar a low-income individual earns, they only take home 65.2 cents.

Madison’s market rate one bedroom apartment is $766 per month, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Fair Market Rent Documentation System. So, factoring in housing, a full time worker at the minimum wage would spend $9,192 on housing a year, leaving $588 left over to pay for utilities, food, transportation and whatever other costs come up during the year.

Of course, there are programs — woefully underfunded thanks to both parties, but currently

being eviscerated by Republicans — to help alleviate some of these costs, but they boast long wait lists or are time-sensitive. The current minimum wage is simply too low for an individual to survive on.

The primary argument against minimum wage increases is always the increase will crunch small businesses and stifle hiring. That might even be true about a $15 minimum wage, but there has to be some improvement for Wisconsin working families, even at the cost of a few lost business dollars. Illinois, Minnesota and Michigan all have higher minimum wages than Wisconsin and the “free market competition” of a lower minimum wage is not exactly driving business across the border. We still have been ranked very low in terms of job growth.

Despite the unlikelihood of a $15 minimum wage, I think Republicans should support a moderate increase of the minimum wage that is subsequently tied to inflation. If workers simply earned more money, they would not be eligible for many government programs and would be less dependent on government programs to simply get

by.

If Paul Ryan’s argument that governmentsupported school lunch means a child has an empty soul is logical — although he’s never given a reason for us to believe that with any of his policies — then providing the parents with additional income instead of another government program could help alleviate these problems.

A minimum wage should be just that, the lowest wage a worker can earn and still survive on in our communities. Currently, these workers struggle to make ends meet, often failing through no fault of their own. While additional job training opportunities are great, and new jobs are certainly needed, these are not options for everyone. Raising the minimum wage would help alleviate that.

Tying it to inflation would help guarantee it stays relevant.

Until our economy works for everyone, it works for no one.

Ride of a lifetime, but time to move on

by Eric Kohlbeck Sports Content Editor

Life comes at you fast.

When I think about my time at The Badger Herald, that phrase sums it up to a tee.

I started my sophomore year, covering any sports story the editors at the time were willing to give out. I then got my first beat covering the women’s soccer team in the fall of my junior year. Eventually, I worked my way up and became a sports editor — the position I held this year.

At first, being an editor seemed pretty intimidating. Piled on top of that, I was now covering the football and men’s basketball teams here at Wisconsin. At times, the expectations and pressures that came with that were almost too much.

Life really was coming at me fast. To be honest, I didn’t feel like I was qualified for the job.

But as I spent more time at the Herald and became more comfortable with the people I was working with and the job I was doing, so too came the feeling of being qualified to cover two of the top teams in all of collegiate athletics.

I’ve been able to do things this past year I’ll have with me for the rest of my life, and quite frankly, these will be some of the top moments of my life. Covering the football and men’s basketball teams, I’ve gone to Northwestern (where I got stuck in an elevator and had to call the fire department), Iowa City (bless your heart Iowa), Indianapolis for the Final Four and Big Ten football championship game (which probably won’t be a top memory, let’s be honest) and Los Angeles for the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight.

But while those road trips in itself were worth the time, it was the people that I traveled with that made them truly memorable. And that’s how my time was at the Herald. I’m not going into the journalism field when I graduate, and while I’m proud of the work I’ve done here — for many, countless hours — what I’ll take with me the most is the people that I got to spend all those hours with, whether it be in the office or on a plane at 37,000 feet.

There were many times during all of those trips and while I was on the beat these past two semesters where I’ve sat back and realized life does come at you fast. I’ll never forget walking

around the USC campus late one night during the Sweet 16 and thinking, “What am I doing here?” A year ago, I was sitting at home in Madison. Now, I’m out in Los Angeles covering the best team in college basketball.

I had a lot of those “what am I doing here” moments this past year, whether it was interviewing the top running back in college football, top player in college basketball or sitting and working alongside sports journalists at the Final Four who I’ve been reading my entire life.

And for all of those “what am I doing here” moments, each and every time I felt just as blessed that the Herald put me in that position. I truly can’t thank the Herald enough for those opportunities.

My time at UW, thankfully, isn’t over just yet. I’ll be returning to school for one more semester before graduating in December. But, as I have been my entire life, it’s time for me to be a Badger fan once again.

I’ll cherish the experiences I had in the press boxes at Camp Randall and the Kohl Center forever, but, as cliché as it may sound, putting on my favorite Badger shirt instead of dress clothes, drinking some beers with my friends on a perfect fall afternoon and jumping around in the student section sounds like a pretty damn good time too.

And relaxing on a fall afternoon at Camp Randall will be a lot easier to do knowing the sports section will be in good hands — probably the best hands it could be in.

So, thanks again to everybody I’ve worked with the past three years for making this the most fun year of my college career while making me improve as a writer, coworker and person. Thanks to my parents and family for getting me to this point and being my most devout readers. Thanks to my other two sports editors for basically being the brothers I’ve never had and for sharing so many memories with me the past year. And finally, thanks to Wisconsin athletics for kicking ass all season and making this a year I’ll never forget.

Maybe now that my time at the Herald is done, life won’t come at me quite as fast. But if it does, what I’ve gone through the past three years with the Herald will no doubt give me the tools to attack it head on.

TOP 10 MOMENTS OF THE SEMESTER

From a trip to the national championship game, to the Frozen Four, to another NFL draft pick, relive a semester filled with memorable moments for Wisconsin athletics

1

Wisconsin topples Kentucky Going up against the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament — and perhaps one of the best teams in college basketball history — Wisconsin had an uphill climb in its Final Four matchup against Kentucky.

But Wisconsin ended Kentucky’s season at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis with a 71-64 win that sent it to the national championship game for just the second time in school history.

The Badgers shook off a more than sixminute scoring drought in the second half

to come back and defeat the Wildcats, with Frank Kaminsky leading the way with a team-high 20 points and 11 rebounds.

Wisconsin locked down on defense in the waning minutes of the second half, forcing Kentucky into three straight shot clock violations. After the third violation, Wisconsin’s Sam Dekker came down and hit a clutch 3-pointer from the top of the key that gave UW the lead back at 63-60.

The Badgers did not trail for the rest of the game and had done what no other team had done all season: take down Kentucky.

Badgers bring home B1G title It took three straight comefrom-behind wins to do it, but Wisconsin made an emphatic statement that its regular season Big Ten title was no fluke.

The Badgers took down Michigan in the quarterfinals; then, a massive second-half performance led to a blowout of Purdue in the semifinal. On Selection Sunday, Wisconsin staged a gritty second-half

comeback against Michigan State, forcing overtime, when the Badgers went on a 11-0 run to claim Wisconsin’s third conference championship title and the first since 2008. After winning the Big Ten tournament, Wisconsin earned its first No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament in program history.

Jason Chan The Badger Herald

Back to the Final Four After making it to the Final Four for only the third time in school history in 2014, Wisconsin did it again and advanced to Indianapolis and the Final Four for the second straight season.

The Badgers got through the NCAA West Regional finals at the Staples Center in Los Angeles with a win over North Carolina in the Sweet 16 and a comeback victory over Arizona, for the second straight season, in the Elite Eight.

Sam Dekker played like a man possessed

in the second half to send Wisconsin back to the Final Four. Dekker hit all six of his shots in the second half, including five 3-pointers.

His final 3-pointer was perhaps the shot of the tournament as Dekker hit a high, arching, 3-pointer as the shot clock expired over Arizona’s Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, which delivered a dagger to the Wildcats and sealed the deal in Wisconsin’s 85-78 victory.

Dekker finished with 27 points while Frank Kaminsky scored a game-high 29 points. rebounds.

Women’s hockey to Frozen Four All year, the Wisconsin women’s hockey team held a top-five ranking in national polls.

The Badgers proved they deserved that distinction by winning the WCHA conference tournament and earning the No. 4 seed in the NCAA tournament. They then defeated No. 5 Boston 5-1 on their

home ice at LaBahn Arena in the NCAA quarterfinals. Freshman Annie Pankowski found the back of the net twice in the Badgers’ win and helped send Wisconsin to the Frozen Four for the eighth time in school history.

UW lost to Minnesota 3-1 in the national semifinal to end its season.

Goodbye, Gordon

When the San Diego Chargers traded up to No. 15 pick in the first round of

the NFL Draft last Thursday, it became a real possibility that former Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon would realize his professional dream.

Moments later, his phone rang, and Gordon was San Diego bound.

The selection came as vindication

Trophy voting in 2014, in a season he rushed for 2,587 yards (all-time Big Ten record) and 29 touchdowns and won the Doak Walker award as the nation’s top running back.

Gordon averaged 7.8 yards per carry over his career.

Badgers capture WCHA crown

Entering the WCHA tournament as the No. 2 seed, the Badgers women’s hockey team drew St. Cloud State in the first round, who they dispatched in two games by a combined score of 9-2.

In the WCHA semifinal, Wisconsin defeated North Dakota 4-1, and on the other side of the bracket, Bemidji State upset Minnesota, paving the way for

for an astounding collegiate career.

He finished second in the Heisman

the Badgers to capture their first WCHA tournament title since 2011.

Behind a two-goal performance from Sarah Nurse, Wisconsin defeated the Beavers for the title and helped them earn the No. 4 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament and eventually a Frozen Four appearance.

Sliver of hope for men’s hockey

There wasn’t much for the Wisconsin men’s hockey team to be proud of in a season that featured just four wins. But with the season all but lost in late February, the Badgers showed some signs of life with two victories in a row.

UW took down fellow Big Ten cellar dweller Ohio State on Valentine’s Day with a 3-2 triumph and followed that up with a

2-1 triumph over Michigan State at the Kohl Center the following Friday. It marked the only time all season that Wisconsin won consecutive games.

After the pair of wins, Wisconsin failed to record a win the rest of the season, going 0-7-1 in the final eight games of the season, which included a 5-1 loss to Michigan in the first round of the Big Ten tournament.

Lihrman dominates the field After a breakout season in 2014 in both indoor and outdoor competition, the throwing star from the men’s track and field team continued to impress during his senior season.

In the indoor season, Lihrman won the NCAA individual weight throw title for the second consecutive year. That was one of several accomplishments, as he also won

the weight throw at the Big Ten championship while setting a new collegiate and NCAA Division I record with his throw of 25.58 meters.

The 2014 Big Ten Field Athlete of the Year also holds the school and Big Ten record outdoors in the hammer throw and will try to win his first NCAA outdoor title in the event this season after finishing third a year ago.

Chryst era gets underway The departure of Gary Andersen as head football coach came as a shock, but that allowed a Wisconsin product to return to his alma mater.

After spending three seasons as the head coach at Pittsburgh, Paul Chryst became head coach of Wisconsin Dec. 17, 2014. Chryst played for UW in the late 1980s and then returned to

8

Wisconsin in 2002 for a brief one-year stint as tight ends coach, and then came back for a seven-year stay from 20062011.

The Paul Chryst era at Wisconsin officially got underway this spring with Wisconsin’s spring practices. Chryst partook in his first Wisconsin spring game as a head coach Apr. 25.

Pink Game draws big crowd In its annual “Pink Game” to support the fight against breast cancer, 11,428 fans packed the Kohl Center as the women’s basketball team took on Iowa Feb. 8.

Although the Badgers lost 87-75, Tessa Cichy scored a then-career high 20 points.

The crowd was the largest for a women’s basketball game since

6

10

2010.

The game was a highlight in an otherwise dissappointing season, in which the Badgers finished 9-20 overall (5-13 Big Ten) and suffered a first-round exit in the Big Ten Tournament.

FEMALE ATHLETE OF THE SEMESTER ANNIE PANKOWSKI Women’s Hockey

Pankowski had to wait a year to play her freshman campaign, but that wait was well worth it.

In what was supposed to be her freshman season in 2013-14, Pankowski tried out for the United States Olympic Team and ended up being the last cut as she failed to make the Olympic roster. With tryouts extending into the fall and the early part of Wisconsin’s season a year ago, Pankowski sat out UW’s season.

But she came back strong from

28 • badgerherald.com • May 7, 2015

disappointment and left no doubt about her ability as she was voted the National Rookie of the Year on the heels of one of the best freshman seasons in UW history.

Pankowski put up 43 points to lead all Wisconsin scorers and had 21 goals, the sixth highest total for a UW first-year skater. Along the way, Pankowski also netted two hat tricks, becoming only the fourth Badgers freshman to notch multiple hat tricks in a season.

Her first hat trick of the year came Nov. 13 against Minnesota State when she notched three scores in an 8-2 Badgers win. But the second time she broke through was even more important; Pankowski scored three times to lead Wisconsin to a 4-0 win over Clarkson Jan. 25 in a matchup of top 10 teams.

Late in the season Pankowski came on especially strong for the Badgers with 12 goals in her last 15 games and 18 total points over that span. Her late season output helped make her the first freshman to lead Wisconsin in scoring since Sara Bauer led UW in points in 2003-04.

Her impressive scoring ability in just her first season makes Pankowski the Female Athlete of the Semester and a player to watch in the years to come.

MALE ATHLETE OF THE SEMESTER FRANK KAMINSKY Men’s Basketball There’s no doubt that Frank Kaminsky was the top athlete at Wisconsin this semester.

In fact, Kaminsky wasn’t just the best at Wisconsin, but was the unanimous top basketball player across the country.

In his senior season at Wisconsin, Kaminsky became one of the best players to ever take the floor as a Badger, leading his team in points per game (18.8), rebounds (8.2), assists (2.64), field goal percentage 54.7), 3-point percentage (41.6), blocks (57) and was second on the team in steals (33) while playing a team-high 33.6 minutes per game.

Kaminsky was the only player in Division I to average at least 17 points, eight rebounds, two assists and 1.5 blocks per game.

As Wisconsin advanced to its second straight Final Four, and to its first national championship game in 74 years, Kaminsky swept the college basketball Player of the Year awards. He won the John R. Wood Award, the Oscar Robertson Trophy and the Naismith Trophy among numerous other Player of the Year honors from publications such as Sports Illustrated and The Associated Press.

While Wisconsin rolled through the Big Ten this season en route to a regular season and tournament championship, Kaminsky was named the Big Ten’s Player of the Year and

was selected to the all-Big Ten first-team.

The Lisle, Illinois, product played his best during the NCAA tournament when he scored at least 20 points in four of Wisconsin’s six tournament games, including the final three games against Arizona (29), Kentucky (20) and Duke (21).

It was a season to remember for Kaminsky and perhaps the best in Wisconsin history for all the above reasons and that’s why he’s our Male Athlete of the Semester.

Drunk senior finally finds Witte After nearly four years of tireless and drunken searching, soon-to-be University of Wisconsin graduate Adam Yafi at last received the answer to the troublesome question, “Where’s Witte?” Yafi credits his experience at last Saturday’s Mifflin for his reversal in fortune.

“My senior Mifflin Block Party was like a personal version of The Road To El Dorado,” Yafi said at his press conference Thursday morning.

“All it took was a visit from my personal yogi Streetman Jack, a bouncy house, and a case of Corona to find my nirvana after all this time.”

Streetman Jack, who shepherded Yafi on his “Boozy Hajj,” told reporters the act was all in a days work for the local drifter and Cheba Hut employee.

“Streetman Jack help out student of all ages to find Witte who end up stumbling around University Avenue drunk on UV Peach obtained by their older siblings,” Streetman said as he searched through dumpsters behind LaCiel.

“Finding Witte is a true cleanse of the soul and a nightmare for the liver.”

Yafi, a four-year resident of Sellery Resident Hall and a frequent visitor to The Nitty Gritty, told 30 • badgerherald.com • May 7, 2015

reporters when he finally reached Witte around 6 p.m. Saturday evening, he was greeted by “hoards of hot young babes and cool bros who knew how to party right.”

John Mack, a Witte resident whose room was bombarded by Yafi that evening, said that he was startled by Yafi’s sudden appearance.

“He started crying in my dorm room, which was a very uncomfortable experience,” Mack said, recollecting Yafi barging into the room of all freshman and declaring that he could “finally check it off his bucket list.”

Following a few drinks of his lukewarm Pabst Blue Ribbon, Yafi was asked to leave Mack’s room.

After attempting to “mack on some of the cute biddies,” Yafi returned to his room in Sellery. He allegedly ordered Juston Stix, but passed out on the floor watching Psych before the delivery arrived.

“I can finally graduate a happy man,” Yafi said.

“Now, who wants to take a jello shot?”

A future Epic employee, Yafi will spend his remaining time at school finishing up finals, as well as his travel memoir on his experiences, Where’s Witte? - My Story, which will be published by Badger USA Books later this year.

UW budget cuts create ‘Tenball’ Tennis, soccer teams forced to merge in light of recent cuts to UW athletics Since the news of slashed budgets for Wisconsin state universities, University of Wisconsin has officially announced it will undergo a merger between two varsity sports, resulting in the creation of a completely new game.

Twice as boring as both tennis and soccer, Tenball will combine the excitement of running back and forth down an extremely large soccer field and the endless commercial breaks that make tennis so easy to watch.

While many say the combination of these two sports makes little sense, the rules of Tenball are so easy, dumb little kids could figure them out, according to UW Athletic Director Barry Alvarez.

Fifteen players make up a starting lineup for Tenball. At the sound of the horn, ten balls, five soccer and the other five tennis, drop from a net hanging from the field. Players must then grab either a tennis racket or a shield and corral the ten balls into various holes and baskets scattered across the pitch. Those with the shields can only use their feet, while the ones with rackets cannot use their feet at all.

The game was allegedly inspired by a druginduced state experienced by many on the Board of Regents, including Chancellor Rebecca Blank.

“The name and rules of this gnarly game came to me during a pretty heavy vision quest I had on four-twenty,” Chancellor Becky Blank said.

“It was me, Barry, and Bo, and we were tripping balls on what we thought was peyote, and just started playing this game we called Tenball out at the McClimon Complex. You had to be there.”

In order to decide which of the former two head coaches will lead the UW Tenball team, Alvarez allegedly brought head soccer coach John Trask and head tennis coach Greg Van Emburgh into his study, broke a pool cue in half, dropped one part in the middle of the floor and told both men, “whoever leaves my study with the other’s beating heart in his hand has the job.”

Fans of the new sport eagerly await the schedule for Tenball’s first season, for which there is currently not a date set for the first broadcast, according to Alvarez.

“I have no idea. We literally made the sport up a week ago. What kind of question is that?”
