Killing wolves now legal Farmers can shoot problem wolves

By Jack Casey The Daily Cardinal

Wisconsin landowners can now legally shoot and kill gray wolves after they were removed from the Wisconsin endangered species list and are no longer protected under the Federal Endangered Species Act last week.

Farmers whose livestock is threatened by wolves can now apply to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for permits that would allow them to kill wolves. The permits are designed for landowners who have had previous issues with wolves or people living in areas prone to wolf attacks.

The removal of the wolves

from the endangered species list came after consistent growth in the state’s wolf population. The state has seen a consistent 10-to20 percent annual increase in the wolf population.

Each year wolves attack 15-25 farm animals, affecting less than one percent of livestock farms. But many farmers affected by wolf attacks plan to tackle the issue head on.

While Mary Falk, owner of Love Tree Farmstead, a farm located in the Trade Lake area in northwestern Wisconsin, uses dogs to fend off wolves, she said farmers in her area are taking advantage of the changes and shooting wolves to defend their herds.

The new DNR wolf regulations have led to speculation about the creation of a public wolf-hunting season. Despite opposition from

John Doe investigation could stain Walker’s reputation

By Rachel Hahn The Daily Cardinal

A 20-month long “John Doe” investigation by the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office has resulted in several charges filed against former and current aides of Gov. Scott Walker during his time as Milwaukee County Executive.

The investigation uncovered four former Walker staffers that were involved in charges ranging from alleged embezzlement, illegal fundraising and avoidance of campaign laws.

Walker spoke publically about the charges for the first time Friday at Tool Service Corp. in Wauwatosa, according to a

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article. He said he has “every confidence that when this is completed, people will see that our integrity remains intact.”

Timothy Russell, former Walker deputy chief of staff, and Kevin Kavanaugh, former county veterans official, were charged on Jan. 5 with embezzling more than $60,000 from Operation Freedom, an annual charity picnic that honors veterans and their families at the Milwaukee County Zoo. Russell allegedly used the stolen money to fund vacations with his domestic partner, Brian Pierick. Pierick was charged with child enticement following the district attourney’s investigation

of Russell.

In addition to those charges, District Attorney John Chisholm announced two more criminal complaints on Jan. 26.

Darlene Wink was charged with two misdemeanor counts of using county resources to raise funds for Walker’s 2010 gubernatorial campaign while working as the constituent services coordinator for then -County Executive Walker.

Wink was asked to resign in May 2010 after facing allegations she was participating in planning fundraising events for the 2010 Walker campaign and

The Charter Street Heating Plant will undergo cleaning to remove any loose material from piping Monday through Friday.

‘Steam blow’ on Dayton expected to create noise People near the Charter Street Heating Plant, which located on the intersection with Dayton Street, will hear bouts of loud “steam blowing” beginning 7 a.m.

Monday that will continue until 7 p.m. Friday.

The plant will undergo a cleaning process to remove loose material in the plant’s steam turbine generator by blowing highpressure steam through the piping, creating the noise.

While the noise is expected to remain within city requirements,

some residents in the area are worried it could be disruptive.

UW-Madison sophomore Lynn Duong said the noise will be disruptive to students’ sleeping patterns in the morning, but it will not affect students later in the day.

Other students who live in the area, including junior Matt Christie, felt otherwise and said students are used to the “loud party atmosphere” on campus so the noise will be nothing new.

If your professor cannot spell, that’s a deal breaker, Badgers.

Jacqueline O’Reilly o’really?!

H

ere we are friends, a week into the semester. With syllabi distributed and actual assignments looming, we have now remembered that no class is as exciting as shopping for it in the Student Center was.

As such, we find ourselves reevaluating our enrollment decisions. Sure, my seminar on conflict resolution sounds interesting, but interesting enough to be worth writing a 20-page paper? Yes, the ethics of civic engagement are sure to spark fiery debates in discussion, but will I even do the weekly 200 pages of reading necessary to contribute? And most importantly, is this professor going to be any good?

Welp, as a second semester senior struggling to find academic motivation, I may not be qualified to help you determine what level of work you are or are not willing to do for a class. That said, I can suggest a variety of measures useful in determining whether a professor is worth his or her weight in tuition dollars.

Taking a cue from my main gal Liz Lemon, I present a series of deal breakers. If your professor does any of the following, that’s a deal breaker, Badgers!

For professors to truly be effective, they have to command a significant level of respect, and there is perhaps no simpler way for a professor to lose the respect of his students than by making basic spelling errors.

As someone who comes from a language-based major, a professor who puts the “i” before the “e” when it was not, in fact, after “c” is a blasphemer in my book.

I even had a professor who once spelled Obama with an apostrophe: O’Bama. While my Irish pride appreciated the sentiment, the grammar nerd within me shriveled up and died.

Taking a cue from my main gal Liz Lemon, I present a series of deal breakers.

If your professor does not use PowerPoint, that’s a deal breaker, Badgers.

There are two reasons a professor would not use PowerPoint: He is either technologically dense or believes his words alone are so magnificent

they eliminate the need for a comprehensible teaching method. So basically, he is an idiot or he is an arrogant fool. Those are two highly unfortunate sides of the coin. Move on to a professor who is more aware of basic software and/or is not an ass.

If your professor does not allow laptops in class, that’s a deal breaker, Badgers.

This professor refuses to get with the times. In fairness to him, he is correct: You will spend the 75-minute lecture looking at Facebook photos that girl from your high school just posted of her baby. Or maybe you are like me, a stressed senior who is constantly job hunting online. And if you really do not care what the person behind you thinks of you, perhaps you will just browse PerezHilton.com the whole time.

Regardless of which of the above categories you fall under, you know how to best educate yourself, i.e. if your best notes are taken on your laptop, you should get to take them there. You are an adult, for crying out loud! Be sure to tell this professor to get a clue on your way out the door.

If your professor did not move your final to the last day of class even though it was scheduled for the last day of exams week, that’s a deal breaker, Badgers.

This professor is a sadist, and best be avoided at all costs.

Delving into

While it is a hard reality to remember in this blistery Wisconsin winter, it will get warm again. And when it gets warm again, there will be things to do, namely beer drinking on the terrace. That this professor wants to keep you cooped up in College Library until the last possible moment is satanic at best. Recognize that you prioritize those tri-colored chairs over any textbook, and drop that class like it’s hot.

If your class was assigned to Science 180 and your professor did not try to find a new room, that’s a deal breaker, Badgers.

This professor has it in for your tailbone. Perhaps he is trying to pad his wonky creationist belief system by disregarding a bone that so clearly points to evolution, his rational foe.

Maybe he has never sat in those chairs and realized the havoc they wreak for your rump. I had a dull professor who kept us in Science 180 knowing the chairs were dreadfully uncomfortable and thus impossible to fall asleep in.

Whatever the reasoning, Science 180 is a vacuum for booty support and thoughtful learning alike. Avoid it as ardently as you would the lousy professor who landed you there.

Unsure of whether your professor makes the cut? Email your questions to Jacqueline at jgoreilly@wisc.edu.

’s History

February 4, 1985 Student’s porn views cause job loss A student employee at Union South was forced to resign from her position recently for refusing to stock copies of Playboy, Playgirl and Penthouse magazines. The magazines are sold in both Memorial Union and Union South at the main desks.

Mary Process said Union management asked for her resignation because she would not sell the magazines while she was working.

The Memorial Union Labor Organization and Union management are currently in disagreement over management’s policy allowing the sale of Playboy, Playgirl and Penthouse magazines.

“I think it’s a real injustice to force women to sell them.

Why should I have to sell this to someone who someday might rape me or some other woman?”

Process said.

At a meeting last week, the Memorial Union Labor

Organization (MULO) asked that these magazines by removed from Memorial Union and Union South because of research linking pornography to the abuse of women and children.

However, Union management has refused to stop selling the magazines on the grounds of First Amendment rights.

Frank Powell, supervisor of information at Union South, said, “We sell a variety of magazines. We sell them in order to provide service and to make a profit. We are not in a position to censor anything.”

“Cosmopolitan or Muscle Man magazine may be more offensive to some people than the magazines in question,” Powell added.

In a compromise with MULO, the management said that if the magazine sales drop out of the top ten, Unions will stop selling them. Presently, they have been removed from display and placed behind the counter.

Despite these measures, the magazines still offend many people, according to Process.

“People ask me, ‘Why do you

sell pornography here?’ I know that people out there don’t want the magazines,” Process said.

City, county to address overdose deaths at summit

By Abby Becker The Daily Cardinal

Shoaib Altaf/the daily cardinal

Chancellor David Ward said at an Athletic Board meeting Friday while the “Rose Bowl incident” has prompted alcohol policy review, the issue is not unique to the Athletic Department.

UW-Madison needs to review alcohol policies, Ward says

By Anna Duffin The Daily Cardinal

Following the alleged sexual assault of a student by an athletic official after a night of drinking at the Rose Bowl, UW-Madison Chancellor David Ward said Friday departments campus-wide need to review their off-campus alcohol policies.

Ward told the UW-Madison Athletic Board while the “2012 Rose Bowl Incident” brought light to the issue of off-campus drinking, it is not unique to the athletic department.

“In this culture and our society today, [drinking] is a generic issue, not particular to athletics,” Ward said. “I don’t think there’s a quick fix.”

Ward said he plans to begin discussions about the university’s alcohol policies with the Faculty Senate’s executive committee, the academic staff and student leaders.

In discussing how to implement university alcohol policy changes, board member Adam Gamoran said using gift money

to fund underage drinking, as in the Rose Bowl incident, should not happen.

“Clearly there’s no ambiguity at the present time about the advisability of using gift funds associated with the university to provide alcohol to underage people,” Gamoran said.

“I don’t think there’s a quick fix.”

David Ward Chancellor UW-Madison

One of the student representatives on the board, Nicholas Schmuhl, said it is important students are involved in the review process.

“Not only was this particular issue an issue of student welfare, but I think that students have a perspective that they can provide that would be really valuable,” Schmuhl said.

“I’m just hoping students are well-represented.”

When assessing the process of reporting the incident, Chair Dale Bjorling said he was pleased the student involved in the alleged assault remained anonymous throughout the review process. Ward added that people have generally been “complimentary” about how the individuals involved reported the assault.

But board member Jeff Anders said the reporting process might not have went as smoothly if different individuals had been involved in the incident, and accessing the chancellor to inform him of the incident was not as easy as it should have been.

“I think that if not for the due diligence of the people involved, this could have not worked its way out the way it should have,” Anders said. “I think we see a winding, winding kind of path.

I don’t think on our campus there is a good mechanism to go directly to the chancellor’s office in particular if significant concerns like this arise.”

Officials examine successes, future of city council City officials met Saturday to discuss the direction the city is headed and methods to improve both communication and daily business within the city council.

According to Ald. Scott Resnick, District 8, the structured format of council meetings does not allow for debate to flow freely.

Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said the discussion will help council members be more productive and efficient in the future.

Council members discussed

council leadership and the responsibilities of council members, but the “heart of the matter” was discussing how city leaders are appointed to committees, according to Resnick.

Council members debated whether the mayor or council members should have the power to appoint members to city committees.

“It’s sort of inevitable that the committee appointment process is always going to be political,”

Resnick said.

While at the end of the day city council did not have a full resolution, Resnick viewed the discussion as a success.

“As a first term alder, hearing and thinking through the whole process of what does it mean to be an alder was a great exercise,” Resnick said. “At the very least I think it was great that we were...able to hash out some of those ideas.”

Kelly Rindfleisch, former Walker chief of staff, was also charged Jan. 26 with four felony counts of misconduct in public office.

The investigation into campaign work done by Rindfleisch and Wink revealed a secret wireless Internet network within the county executive’s office, exposing thousands of fundraising emails and instant messag-

ing chats to Walker campaign staff during regular work hours.

Some are questioning Walker’s management skills and judgment following these charges.

“Scott Walker has run his administrations in great secrecy,” Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Mike Tate said. “Now, he owes the people of Wisconsin an explanation for his role in these alleged bad acts.”

using work time to post proWalker comments on JSOnline.

Following Wink’s resignation, Walker sent an email to a top aide, which read, “We cannot afford another story like this one.

No one can give them any reason to do another story. That means no laptops, no websites, no time away during the work day, etc.”

In response to a problem officials have called a heroin “epidemic,” the city of Madison and Dane County will launch a partnership Monday aimed at addressing the growing number of heroin and prescription drug overdoses.

The Prevention Summit on Unintentional Drug Poisoning is the joint city-county meeting, which focuses on specific public health safety issues such as reducing access to drugs, improving poisoning intervention and substance abuse prevention, according to a statement.

Mark Woulf, city Alcohol Policy Coordinator, said that Dane County has seen an increase in overdoses because painkiller addicts come to Madison to purchase prescription drugs and heroin illegally.

People who are addicted to painkillers often seek a replacement to the expensive prescription drugs and turn to buying heroin as a cheaper substitute, according to Mayor

Paul Soglin.

The city’s heroin problem is “an epidemic,” because of “the loss of life of productive people… the costs related to the expense of the drug” and major traffic problems, Soglin said in December.

There have been 131 heroin overdoses in Dane County in 2011, which is six times higher than in 2008, according to the Madison Police Department.

The increasing number of deaths caused by heroin and opiates, prescription drugs like OxyContin, Vicodin and morphine, is a “major concern for [the city] and something that we decided to partner with the county on,” Woulf said.

Soglin and Dane County Executive Joe Parisi will partner with Safe Communities, a local organization designed to promote programs aimed at increasing safety.

“We felt they were in the best position to help us out in bringing many different partners in the community to look at the issue from multiple, different perspectives,” Woulf said.

Thin ice on Lake Mendota causes ATV accident; County advises caution A Madison man’s ice shanty and ATV fell through the ice on Lake Mendota near Warner Park late Saturday afternoon.

While Thomas Grebe, 57, did not fall through the ice or suffer injuries, his ice shanty and ATV fell in Lake Mendota.

Dane County Sheriff’s Office Marine and Trail Enforcement Deputies and the City of Madison Fire Department assisted in bringing Grebe to shore.

Arrangements are being made

to recover Grebe’s ice shanty and ATV, according to a statement.

According to Dane County Sheriff's Office, the public should be aware of dangerous ice conditions on lakes and waterways.

Due to unseasonably warm weather, there are areas of softer ice and open water on lakes.

The Dane County Sheriff’s Office advises extra caution be used near structures like bridges, which can warm up ice and make these areas more dangerous.

According to his research, most Wisconsin residents endorse a wolf hunt. Treves warned that while the state needs to have some authority over the wolf population, “the successful conservation of wolves depends on people tolerating them, accepting them, and that tolerance has been

declining,” Treves said.

In addition to allowing landowners to kill wolves, federal agents can be dispatched to farms with wolf problems to trap and eliminate “problem wolves.” According to Treves, the federal agents will account for the largest amount of wolf casualties in the upcoming year.

However, Falk also suggested killing wolves could worsen the problem.

“When you go out shooting, you kill the stupid [wolves] and then you bring the real nasty ones in,” said Falk.

By Adam Paris The Daily Cardinal

2011 will forever go down as one of the best years in gaming history. Fantastic titles such as “Arkham City,” “Skyrim” and “Portal 2” all brought amazing experiences into gamers’ lives, but that’s no reason to scoff at the promising lineup coming in 2012. Here are my ten most anticipated titles of the year: 10. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Release: TBA) This spinoff from the Metal Gear Solid series unveiled major changes in its new trailer released in December. Now developed by Platinum Games, (“Bayonetta,” “Vanquish”) Revengeance looks to feature Platinum’s signature over-thetop action while detailing the events of Raiden several years after “Guns of the Patriots.”

9. The Witness (Release: Late 2012) The first title from Jonathan Blow since his mind-bending puzzle-platformer “Braid,” “The Witness” takes place on a deserted island. Progressing through a series of line-based puzzles, players will begin to unravel the mysteries of the perplexing location.

8. Halo 4 (Release: Holiday Season 2012)

Bungie’s departure from the franchise has allowed 343 Studios to step up and take the reins. Little is known about the title except that it continues the story of Master Chief and Cortana. 343 Studios has a large legacy to live up to, but I’m hopeful they can breathe new life into a franchise that has become somewhat stale in recent years.

7. Tomb Raider (Release: Q3 2012) This reboot of the franchise takes the same mechanics Tomb Raider fans are used to and infuses them into a much grittier take on Lara Croft. Based on the little gameplay footage I’ve seen, this could be the title that successfully thrusts Lara Croft back into relevancy on the current generation of consoles.

6. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (Release: February 7) Directed by Ken Rolston, (director of both Elder Scrolls III and IV) it is no surprise “Reckoning” looks to create a huge open world. However, the implementation of fast, fluid combat in the vein of “God of War” differentiates it from other open-world games. I already see “Reckoning” absorbing many, many hours of my life in the weeks to come.

The Last Guardian (Release: TBA) Although the title has gone through some internal turmoil, Team Ico’s longawaited PS3 debut appears just as touching and beautiful as their previous works “Shadow of the Colossus” and “Ico.” 4.

‘You don’t like me, you really don’t like me,’ Oscars 2012 David Cottrell Co-ttrell it on the mountain

B

y mid afternoon on the day of Oscar nomination announcements last week, my Facebook wall was already being covered with bitter and exasperated commentary on the Academy’s nominee choices for the 2012 Academy Awards. One commenter summed up his displeasure with the concise statement, “This was a terrible year in film.”

I wouldn’t go quite that far in declaring my disappointment with 2011’s cinematic output. But I certainly see how a glance at the roster of ‘best’ nominations compiled by The American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences this year could leave you with a dour taste. Though unfortunate, thankfully the 2012 Oscar nominations do not tell the entire story of film in 2012.

There were quite a few worthy cinematic endeavors and performance gems overlooked by the Academy this year that can console themselves with the love of film critics and movie lovers alike.

“Young Adult” While some critics applauded Charlize Theron’s lead performance and others Diablo Cody’s snarky script, the real treasure buried in Jason Reitman’s “Young Adult” is comedian Patton Oswalt’s turn as a crippled alcoholic trapped in a state

of arrested development as the bitter nerd he was in high school. He perpetually steals the show, even in the face of a terrific performance by Theron.

A Best Supporting Actor nomination for Oswalt would have been much deserved, certainly over Jonah Hill for “Moneyball”.

And it would have nicely complemented the Academy’s Best Supporting Actress nomination of Melissa McCarthy for her similar scene-stealing comedic role in “Bridesmaids.”

I’d take “50/50” over the dwelling and dull “The Descendants” any day.

“Take Shelter” Michael Shannon’s performance in “Take Shelter” as a family man construction worker in rural Ohio plagued

film was also made for a measly Hollywood budget of $5 million, leaving little hope for expensive ad campaigns. And unfortunately perhaps the final nail in the flick’s coffin was that it never quite got the opportunity to win over the public at large, as it received a very limited theatrical release.

“Drive” No other film was so utterly snubbed by the Academy this year than Nicolas W i n d i n g Refn’s “Drive.”

While Danish “50/50” Director Refn Admittedly can celebrate “50/50” was a bit his “Best of a dark horse Film” nomifor a Best Picture nation from nomination.

In fact, leading up to the nominations, most critics presumed the Supporting Actor race was between Brooks and Christopher Plummer, only to see Brooks fail to land even a nomination. Brooks tweeted his feelings about the loss, tweeting at the Academy: “You don’t like me, you really don’t like me,” an ironic play on Sally Field’s iconic Oscar acceptance speech.

But perhaps the most egregious snub for the team behind “Drive” was the lack of a Best Cinematography nomination for Newton Thomas Sigel. The cinematography Sigel crafted for “Drive” was hauntingly beautiful in a way that immortalizes itself in your head, as if each shot was a self-contained work of art.

In an instance of either ultimate irony or fitting happenstance, “Drive” was nominated for only a single Oscar: Sound Editing. David Fincher’s “Fight Club,” a film which was similarly overlooked by the Oscars in 2000 only to become one of the defining cult films of the decade, also received a sole nomination in its year—Sound Editing. Perhaps the universe will balance things out in 10 years from now for the exceedingly deserving Nicolas Winding Refn and his beautiful, haunting vision embodied in “Drive.”

Did the Academy do a great injustice to another movie David missed? Completely disagree with what he is saying here? Let him know at dcottrell@wisc.edu.

These changes need to come from top officials. Chancellor

David Ward put together an investigation, and this will hopefully bring about justice for the student victim. But if officials like Ward and Alvarez do not actually create and enforce new policies, it will be doing the UW-Madison community a disservice. Officials have given every indication that their intent is to reform, but we must wait until these changes go into effect to judge any further.

However, the university’s competent crisis management should not be the take-home message from this incident. No one should simply write off what happened as an issue specific to athletic departments—though it is hard to not notice the high-profile sexual assault scandals that have happened at other athletic departments at Penn State, Syracuse and The Citadel. We all need to understand that sexual assault is a problem that exists everywhere,

Monday, January 30, 2012 not just in athletic departments.

Our university has a reputation as a party school. Drinking does not only happen over Rose Bowl weekend and neither do assaults. As Ward explained, overzealous, poorly monitored partying is “not an athletics issue, it’s a social issue.” The UW-Madison community should not sit around and congratulate officials for handling the athletic department well­, especially when issues still exist on campus.

Sexual assault is not an uncommon crime on university campuses. One in four women are sexually assaulted in their lives.

Of those, 95 percent of the victims knew their attacker. According to the Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault, 15 percent of victims in 2011 were male. This is a crime that can affect anyone.

Furthermore, 90 percent of victims will not report their

assault. That is why it is important to note how courageous the student employee was to tell a different authority figure of Chadima’s alleged unwanted advances. If we want to congratulate anyone for handling the situation well, it should be that student.

Chadima’s alleged assault is one of the largest scandals in recent UW-Madison history. But university officials, students and the rest of the community should look at the incident not as a passing incident, but as an opportunity to address similar problems on campus.

Our campus has various groups that could help student sexual assault victims. Groups that aim to eradicate a culture that perpetuates sexual assault are Promoting Awareness Victim Empowerment (PAVE) and End Violence on Campus (EVOC). Victims of sexual assault can receive help from the Rape Crisis Center.

Letter: Students with disabilities face many struggles at UW Illiana Rotker-Lynn Letter to the editor

To a person without a disability, the life of a person with one is nearly impossible to truly comprehend.

That is not to say that our lives are impossibly difficult or painful.

No, many people with disabilities are able to lead rich, fulfilling lives.

For us, in some conditions and cases our disabilities can be an afterthought. As a nineteen-year-old woman with Asperger’s Syndrome, a mild form of autism, I can attest to this fact. Not every person with a disability suffers unimaginably.

It is simply that the way they lead their lives is unimaginably different. We may have to invent new ways of doing things on a day-today basis. Things that come naturally to most people may be difficult

or even impossible for us. What might be an afterthought, if that, for a student without a disability can be a serious issue for us.

One of the simplest examples is warning alarms. Designed to be loud enough to wake a person from a sound sleep and to get the attention of someone blasting music into their headphones, these alarms contain a potentially serious flaw in this same system. For a person with autism or another sensory processing disorder that causes them to hear more acutely than an average person, these alarms can be painfully loud. Not only does that cause us stress, but in a true emergency, this could be dangerous, as a person might be too overwhelmed by the noise level to actually respond adequately to the situation.

We are often excluded from social situations because the volume of music is too loud for a person with a sensory disorder and the environment is not suitable for persons with physical disabilities.

When we complain, we are often pushed aside, all but told straight out that this is our problem, and others have no intention of accommodating it.

And then we get to college. And college opens a whole new can of worms. Because college classes assume a specific, shared way of learning possessed by all students.

And that is simply not the case.

“In Spanish class, I find that I am unable to use my visual and auditory learning skills at the same time,” says Ben Stone, a student at UW-Marshfield who also has

autism. “I must either listen to my teacher and respond in kind or write what she is writing and respond in writing. I cannot process in opposing learning styles at the same time.” A class, therefore, that would expect a student to take notes on the words a teacher says, which most people would not even note as unusual, would be impossible for a student like Ben. And notes aren’t the only issue.

For people who have difficulty maintaining focus, just staying connected to a lecture that does not completely engage them can be incredibly difficult. “A standard lecture, sage on the stage, can be hard to follow,” says Leon Lynn, a college graduate with a diagnosis of ADHD Type 2. “It takes a lot of practice to keep concentration on the lecture and not just start writing short stories in my head.”

As if this weren’t bad enough, some teachers implement policies that make an already challenging task even more difficult.

A prime example is no-laptop policies. Teachers implement these policies for any number of well-intentioned reasons, but these policies serve to hurt people like me, for whom note-taking by hand, at the speed required, is physically impossible. Of course, these policies include an attempt to accommodate. “If you have a disability that requires you to use a computer for note-taking,” one syllabus reads, “please see the professor for an exception to this rule.”

What, then, is the problem?

The problem is that to be that one student with a laptop in a no-laptop class is essentially to out yourself to the entire class as a person with a disability. For a person with a non-evident disability, a category that encompasses most learning disorders, the decision of whom to tell that one has a disability and when is highly personal. Such policies take the power of making this important decision out of our hands, forcing us to reveal what we might otherwise have kept private.

Though I do not personally experience this, I also know from the stories of others that people with physical disabilities encounter equally, if not more, significant obstacles. Although all buildings are required by law to be handicapaccessible, that does not necessarily mean easily accessible. They may

have more trouble finding adequate parking or getting from their vehicle to classroom buildings. There may be only one accessible door, and that may not be easy to get to, especially in bad weather. There may be only one elevator, and it may be hard to find. And if that one elevator breaks down, it is not a minor inconvenience as it might be for the able-bodied among us. It is a significant obstruction. It could cause them to miss a class or even an exam.

And now, the University of Wisconsin-Madison seems determined to make day-to-day life even harder for these people. An October 4th article in The Daily Cardinal reported a plan by UW-Madison Transportation Services to remove 55 disabled parking spaces on campus, claiming they are rarely used.

What the decision makers fail to take into account is that if they are ever used, then they are not superfluous. To a person without a disability, these sorts of things can be done in numbers and figures, neat calculations. For those who rely on these spaces, every space removed represents a hardship. They don’t have the luxury of detachment.

This project also suffers from a symptom that too often plagues attempts by people without disabilities to help those with­—some of the presumably helpful accommodations have major practical flaws. The same Daily Cardinal article mentions that part of the plan is to move handicapped parking spaces into garages, intending to make them more usable in this way. However, as the article points out, a fair number of disabled vans do not clear the low ceilings inside parking garages, making them useless to some of the people who need them most. To add insult to injury, the plan also includes proposals to change some of the remaining handicapped parking spaces to require a University parking permit, which costs $495 per year. A person’s ability to access the accommodations they need should not be dependent on whether or not they can afford to pay.

Too long have students with disabilities lived on the margins. Now is the time to push for inclusion, not to create policies that marginalize them even more.

Men’s Hockey

Wisconsin fails to claim crucial points over weekend

By Matt Masterson The daily cardinal

Overcoming early season struggles, the Wisconsin Badgers Men’s Hockey team (7-11-2 WCHA, 12-12-2 overall) had appeared to turn the proverbial corner during the winter break, but after being swept at the hands of North Dakota (11-9-0, 15-10-2) this weekend, it is clear they are still a work in progress.

“We didn’t make plays at those tough moments, those ‘moments of truth,’ and they did.”

Mike Eaves head coach Wisconsin men’s hockey

Going back to late November, the Badgers had put together an impressive streak, compiling an 8-2-1 record while playing some of their most inspired hockey of the season.

This run not only brought the team above .500, but also put them in a good position for earning home-ice advantage this postseason, but back-to-back losses in North Dakota have put Wisconsin in another rut. “[North Dakota] got timely goals and we’re in their barn,

it’s a tough place to win,” head coach Mike Eaves said after Saturday’s 4-2 loss. “We didn’t make plays at those tough moments, those ‘moments of truth,’ and they did.”

Friday night’s game opened with a flurry of goals, as Wisconsin erased a 2-0 deficit to tie the game in the first period. Sophomore forward Michael Mersch got the Badgers on the board with a deflection past UND senior goaltender Bradley Eidsness before fellow sophomore forward Keegan Meuer knotted the score.

Minutes later, Mersch appeared to give the Badgers the lead with another deflected goal, but referees determined that the puck went off his skate,and waived it off.

The teams traded goals in the second period and with little action early in the third, it appeared the teams would be heading to overtime. However, with just under two minutes to play in regulation, UND’s freshmen forward Stephane Pattyn notched his first goal of the season to give the Fighting Sioux the lead for good. Sophomore forward Brock Nelson closed the scoring with an empty net goal to seal the 5-3 victory.

“There were some victories tonight, no question,” Eaves after said Friday’s loss. “The

win didn’t come because we didn’t do enough things in the third period to make it happen.”

Wisconsin continued its theme of fighting from behind on Saturday night, as they came back from 1-0 and 2-1 deficits, but they still couldn’t earn the win.

Junior defensemen John Ramage tied the game at two in the second period with his second tally of the year, but goals from UND’s freshman forward Michael Parks and Nelson gave North Dakota the 4-2 win.

As a team that is fighting for home-ice advantage in the postseason, Wisconsin didn’t do themselves any favors this weekend, but the team hasn’t taken their eyes off the goal.

“Does it make the path steeper?” Eaves said on his team’s pursuit of home-ice advantage.

“I’m not going to lie, it does, but it doesn’t change anything in our resolve to keep climbing that path.”

“Obviously we need points to be able to get that home ice, but I feel personally that I learned a lot this weekend,” freshman goaltender Joel Rumpel said after Saturday’s game.

The Badgers will continue their postseason pursuit this weekend as they return to the Kohl Center to take on the St. Cloud State Huskies.

Despite erasing one- and two-goal deficits both nights, the Badgers could not find a way to win and claim some much-needed points.

Women’s Basketball

Badgers look to continue modest winning streak

By Adam Tupitza the daily cardinal

Senior forward Anya Covington and the rest of the Wisconsin women’s basketball team look to keep their winning streak alive when they welcome Michigan to the Kohl Center on Monday. The Badgers (3-5 Big Ten, 7-13 overall) are fresh off of a 78-72 road victory over Minnesota on Thursday and have won two straight games.

Meanwhile, Michigan (5-3, 16-5) hopes to bounce back from their first home loss of the season, falling to Penn State 77-56 on Thursday.

Covington, who is the Badgers’ second leading scorer this season with 10.2 points per game, has been filling up the stat sheet in the short winning streak. In the victory over the Golden Gophers, the senior forward had 19 points, eight rebounds and five assists. And in last Sunday’s win over Northwestern, Covington had 23 points, 12 rebounds and four assists.

A trio of players has shouldered the scoring load for Wisconsin in recent games. Along with Covington, junior guard Taylor Wurtz and sophomore guard Morgan Paige both finished with double-digit points in both games of the winning streak. The three players had 58 of Wisconsin’s 75 points against Northwestern and 55 of Wisconsin’s 78 against Minnesota.

On the season, the Badgers are only averaging 58.8 points per game, so the two recent offensive outbursts are an encouraging development.

The Badgers also played strong defense in both games of the win-

ning streak. Wisconsin held Minnesota to 40 percent shooting and Northwestern to 31.1 percent shooting. Also, Wisconsin came out on top in the rebounding battle in both games.

Michigan comes into Monday’s game with the second best scoring defense in the Big Ten, holding opponents to an average of 56.7 points per game. The Wolverines are led by senior guard Courtney Boylan and junior center Rachel Sheffer. Both players were instrumental in Michigan’s 68-66 win at the Kohl Center over the Badgers last season. Sheffer had 22 points in the victory, and Boylan scored six of Michigan’s final eight points in the game.

Bobbie Kelsey’s team has taken its lumps in her first year as Wisconsin head coach, but three victories in the last five games indicate that her squad is turning the corner. As the season progresses, the players are gaining a fuller grasp of Kelsey’s system and are getting more comfortable with running it on the court.

With their 3-5 conference record, the Badgers currently find themselves in ninth place in the conference. A win over Michigan would boost Wisconsin into a three-way tie for seventh place with rivals Iowa and Minnesota. Michigan is 5-3 in conference play, and a Wisconsin victory would be its first against a Big Ten team with a conference record over .500.

Tip-off for Monday’s game at the Kohl Center is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

12,402 fans packed the Kohl Center in the third annual “Fill the Bowl” event to raise money for Second Harvest. The Badgers defeated Bemidji State 1-0.

Over 12,000 Badger fans ‘Fill the Bowl’

By Matthew Kleist the daily cardinal

12,402 fans erupted as senior forward Hilary Knight scored the game-winning goal in Saturday night’s “Fill the Bowl” game at the Kohl Center. Supporters started to trickle into their seats over an hour early to watch the Wisconsin women’s hockey team (18-2-2-1 WCHA, 24-2-2 overall) face the Beavers of Bemidji State (8-12-2, 14-12-2).

This year’s “Fill the Bowl” event raised money for Second Harvest for a sum equal to the attendance. In addition to raising over $12,000, Badger fans set a new NCAA women’s hockey attendance record, breaking the previous record of 10,668 set during last year’s event.

“It says a lot about the city and the people of Madison,” head coach Mark Johnson said. “The other part of it is that we raised $12,000 for Second Harvest.”

After winning in 3-2 in overtime the night before, the Badgers had a lot of work to do if they wanted to complete the series and

season sweep. Entering the night, Bemidji State was 7-1-1 in games after losing the night before. The Beavers only loss, however, came against the Badgers.

The Wisconsin skaters were able to match the intensity of the fans and came out strong, landing 18 shots on goal through the first period. But what started as excitement quickly turned into frustration on the part of the Badgers. No matter what Wisconsin’s attackers did, Bemidji State senior goaltender Zuzana Tomicikova seemed to be an impenetrable wall, stopping everything that came her way.

“She’s a great goalie,” Knight said. “It does get frustrating when you’re getting almost every opportunity there, but one of them is bound to go in.”

This frustration hit its highest point when it appeared that the Badgers broke through and grabbed the lead.

Sophomore forward Madison Packer collected the puck at the blue line after it deflected off a Bemidji State defensemen.

Entering the zone herself, she took the puck to the net. Faking the shot, Packer got Tomicikova to commit early, leaving the net virtually empty for the easy score.

Despite what seemed to be a clean goal, the play went under review much to the dismay of Johnson and fans alike.

The call was eventually reversed with the explanation being that Tomicikova’s mask came off before the puck went into the net.

Johnson was clearly upset with the call and made it known both to the referees and in postgame interviews.

“They had shown it on the jumbotron and you could see why they were looking at it,” Johnson said. “We got a rule book and a set of criteria on what you can review and what is reviewable.

That’s not one of them. That was my concern.”

“They can’t just pick and choose what to review,” he added.

“I beat the goalie, she went done, [she] lost her jock-strap before her helmet,” Packer said about her disallowed goal. “The

puck went in, the ref blew the whistle and I celebrated. I’m not really sure what the issue was.”

The disallowed goal seemed to take the life out of Wisconsin. The Badgers began to misfire on passes and got sloppy with their stick handling. Bemidji State attempted to take advantage of Wisconsin’s uncharacteristic play, much like it had done the night before.

Relying heavily on sophomore goaltender Alex Rigsby from that point on in the second period, the Badgers looked to make changes and regain their first-period intensity during the second intermission.

“We rely a little too much on her,” Knight said. “Sometimes we get into the habit of moving aside and letting her step up big when we really need to support her a little bit more.”

Wisconsin found the answer to the Tomicikova riddle just over 12 minutes into the third period.

Sophomore forward Brittany Ammerman held the puck behind the Bemidji State net. Seeing Knight coming across the front,

she threw it behind her, connecting with Knight for the games first and only goal.

Not only did the goal give the Badgers the lead, it broke a 7 game scoreless streak for Knight that dated back to the last time Wisconsin faced the Beavers.

“It’s an awesome feeling,” Knight said. “We never get this many people. Whenever you can play in front of this many people, and on top of that you got the ‘ooo and awe’ of the crowd, it’s a good feeling.”

Knight is not unfamiliar with scoring in the “Fill the Bowl” game.

After scoring 47 seconds into last year’s affair, Knight attempted the “Oveckin” celebration consisting of crashing into the boards but ended up on the ice. Unlike last year, Knight did not celebrate her gamewinning goal, perhaps due to flashbacks of the past failed attempt.

“All I could think of is ‘oh my gosh, what am I going to do.’”

Knight said. “And don’t go near the boards. Carolyne Prevost will make fun of me again. I haven’t lived that down.”
