Soglin sees music and culture’s role in bringing city together

Story by Riley beggin and Ben Siegel In a vision for the Madison’s immediate cultural future in his 2013 budget last fall, Mayor Paul Soglin proposed the city give less funding to the Overture Center but bankroll an arts festival and a promotional music video.

Months later, his colleagues in city government still remember their confusion.

“I was surprised when I saw [the mayor’s proposed] budget,” said Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4. “Given the extremely tight city budget, it just didn’t make a lot of sense to … spend $50,000 on a YouTube video.”

Soglin proposed a $1 million reduction in funding for the Overture Center and putting $100,000 of the diverted funds toward community-based cultural initiatives, exploring a South-bySouthwest style arts festival and a promotional music video inspired by Grand Rapids, Mich., which filmed a dubbed version of “American Pie” that has been viewed more than 5 million times since May 2011.

While the mayor’s viral video ambitions may be partially explained by song

Speaker urges collective campus diversity efforts

By Sam Cusick the daily cardinal

The University of WisconsinMadison hosted its first Inclusive Excellence Winter Symposium Friday to continue the conversation about cultivating diversity on campus.

The keynote speaker at the event was Dr. Nancy Barcelo, President of Northern New Mexico College, who discussed her experiences leading and creating diversity and equity programs on the various college campuses

she has worked on, including the University of Minnesota.

Barcelo said UW-Madison was making great progress in creating diversity programs, but said the university needs to recommit to making more substantial changes by involving everyone on campus, not just administration.

“I am pleased with the progress and the history of diversity at Wisconsin and at Minnesota,”

UW Athletic Board approves $133 million dollar budget for 2013-’14

By Cheyenne Langkamp the daily cardinal

The University of Wisconsin-Madison Athletic Board approved Friday a budget of more than $133 million for the university’s athletic department next year.

The budget is a $19 million dollar increase from last year’s budget, which amounted to approximately $114 million dollars.

UW-Madison Associate Athletic Director for Business

Operations Randy Marnocha said the increase in the budget is largely due to an increase in capital funding to complete construction of the StudentAthlete Performance Center.

Marnocha added the budget does not include any increases in ticket prices, despite a drop in revenue from hockey ticket and parking purchases.

“We’ve done the best we can to not pass on any unnecessary costs to our fan base,”

A recent string of burglaries in neighborhoods between Park Street and the Capitol continued this weekend and police took four people into custody following two separate incidents, according to a police report.

The first robbery took place at about 10:52 p.m. Thursday when a resident on the 10 block of South Bassett Street reported two strangers fleeing his home after catching them while investigating a noise he heard, according to the report.

Police arrested a 16-year-old male and Antoinic Bryant, 18, for trespassing and stealing a backpack containing a laptop.

Similarly, on Saturday,

of the case, according to Williams, which is expected in late spring.

“We were one of the first institutions to be responsive in thinking about where we want to go,” Williams said.

UW-Madison was one of the approximately 117 colleges and universities to submit a brief in support of the University of Texas, according to a Friday presentation.

Marnocha said.

The budget also contains nearly $3 million in revenue made from the Big Ten Network which will be invested on campus. This amount, part of which will go toward need-based scholarships, is significantly larger than what is given back to campuses at other Big Ten universities, according to Marnocha.

The budget was approved

Flu teaches Shannon to be a kid shannon kelly kelly beans

T

here’s nothing like a little sickness to remind you how much you can miss being a kid sometimes.

This week, I was struck down by an absolutely debilitating illness. And by that I mean I caught a bad cold and am a tad overdramatic at times. Still, there was no getting around it: I felt like crap.

Now, living as we do in the veritable cesspool of copious cup sharing, erratic sleep patterns and Easy Mac-induced malnutrition that is the college atmosphere, I’m sure not one college student is a stranger to my experience this week. We’ve all had our style cramped at one point or another by this nameless combination of sore throat, headache, exhaustion and hitherto unthinkable amount of mucous production.

Not even the sexy raspy voice and excuse to skip a few lectures can

outweigh the discomfort.

But on this particular occasion, while I lay pitifully in a cocoon of fleece tied blankets and watched reruns through a haze of Nyquil, I was forced to confront a hard fact to face for a selfassured young adult like myself: I really wanted my mommy.

Instead of stressing about responsbilities and schedules and being a grownup, take a day once in a while to remember to be a kid.

There, I said it. As much as I might fancy myself an independent woman of Destiny’s Child caliber, one little virus and I’m reduced to a whining 5-year-old who just wants animal crackers and an endless amount of sympathy, and possibly the elimination of all adult responsibilities while you’re at it.

I did my best to maintain an air of dignity, but my inner ele-

The Dirty Bird

mentary schooler demanded to be satiated. Before I knew it, I found myself shirking all school-related reading in favor of rewatching “The Mummy” for what might be at least the 1000th time and loudly suggesting how much I’d like a cup of hot chocolate until my roommate got up and made me some.

What had I become? I, Shannon, the notoriously autonomous and obnoxiously adultlike college student, had devolved into a creature with the emotional maturity of a child.

I saw only one solution: I had to go into the Matrix. I had to accept the fact that inside my hard exterior, I’m just a sniffly little girl.

It was a hard thing to admit, but once I did, what resulted was the best week ever.

I was just as surprised as you are. Other than the fact that I still felt completely gross, I was living the life. I called in sick to work.

I stayed in bed for 48 hours straight with nothing but a marathon of romantic comedies and a box of Kleenex to keep me company. I ate junk food, napped con-

stantly, neglected any semblance of keeping up with schoolwork and took bubble baths. And although my sinuses were congested, I was blissful. I had found the nirvana of conquering adulthood, and it is this: Once in a while, stop trying to be such a grown-up and let yourself have a sick day—or five.

At this point in time, I can safely say that my Flintstones vitamins have done their job. I feel better, and other than the mountain of accumulated homework I have to catch up on, I’d say I’m no worse for the wear.

But the epiphany I had while I was sick has stuck with me.

Instead of stressing about responsibilities and schedules and being a grown-up, take a day once in a while to remember to be a kid.

You’ll feel better in the long run and your brain will thank you.

Oh, and wash your hands.

It’s flu season, and being sick really sucks.

Have you experienced profound epiphanies this flu season? Share your insight with Shannon at sekelly2@wisc.edu.

Rubbing it off: a guide to your partner and yourself Alex Tucker sex columnist

D

ear Alex, How often do females masturbate?

And do they mind if their boyfriends do it?

Well, in a study by the National Health and Social Life Survey, 42 percent of women reported they had masturbated in the last year, compared with 63 percent of men. Not such a large discrepancy, which should be a relief.

However, this survey must be taken with a grain of salt; the study failed to decipher between age groups. Other studies estimated that men in their teenage and young-adult years masturbate once a day.

Unfortunately, these same studies often explain why a majority of women do not regularly masturbate until they reach their 20s.

But as we know, it’s always a range!

There are ladies who flip their respective beans every day, and some who don’t do it at all. If you are comfortable doing so, ask your special girly girl how often she likes to rub it out.

How else do we learn about other people?

(From the Dirty Bird.

Duh.) Whether or not one partner minds if the other whacks it off

every so often is a completely different story. There are a couple of sides to the argument. One is a legitimate lack of understanding. Why does my boo need to do it alone when he or she could do it with me? Although that argument has hold, it is not realistic for a lot of people for several reasons.

Many people enjoy the alone time and complete lack of pressure that comes with solo sessions. It can be relaxing to only have to please yourself for once without being concerned about anybody else. It can also be refreshing to become physically reacquainted with oneself and remember how much fun we are able to have alone.

Furthermore, the convenience of being alone without making any effort whatsoever is sometimes just too good to pass up. You don’t even have to change out of sweats! Best of both worlds.

Another issue that many have about their partners getting off unaided is the question of what is turning them on. Some people are uncomfortable with the thought of their partners watching porn, and some even consider pornwatching to be cheating. The fact of the matter is that those terms have to be defined by each individual couple; nobody can tell somebody what cheating means to them. graphic by dylan moriarty

My opinion, however, is that porn can be an exciting way to relax for many and that as long as your significant other does not go find his or her favorite porn star and actually screw them, it is not cheating. Again, I cannot tell anybody how to feel, but porn is a harmless way of looking at new people without the option of touching him or her.

I’d certainly rather my significant other jack one off to porn than with his or her classmate or new friend from a bar.

Wait right there. You guys thought you were getting away without an overarching conclusion? From me?

Let’s talk about masturbating together! That’s right, mutual

masturbation, a wonderful (and possibly competitive) activity! Who can jack it more quickly? And how sexy does your bangin’ babe look when he or she is doing it solo? The answer: super sexy.

Doing it alone together isn’t only a huge turn-on, but it can help you figure out what your partner likes!

Hopefully your special someone knows what gets them off, so by watching closely you can figure out how to do it best. Pay close attention and you’ll be off to a mutual explosion in no time!

Walker expands on plans for education funding

By Jack Casey the daily cardinal

Gov. Scott Walker released more details of his Feb. 20 budget plans Sunday, announcing he would allocate $475.6 million to education reforms such as skills development and performance-based initiatives in K-12 and higher education.

Walker’s new announcement expands on one he made last week when he said he would allot at least $132 million to both K-12 and higher education development.

The governor plans to allocate some of the funding to the University of Wisconsin System and state technical schools, but the majority of the it will go to reforming K-12 public education, with $129.2 million to be added over the next two years and money set aside to incentivize high performance, according to the statement.

The funds allocated to the UW System

Occupy Madison campers and homeless at Token Creek allowed to stay through winter the daily cardinal

Occupy Madison members will be allowed to stay at Token Creek until March 17 after 13 campers accepted a permit deadline extension deal from the county Friday.

Dane County officials granted the extension under the stipulation the county will not consider any extended camping privilege requests for winter 2013.

Campers accepted the offer in a written response, but also indicated a list of concerns and requests they had about the compromise in the letter.

“We don’t consider this much of a choice, since there is no legal place to go,” the group said in the letter.

aim to create new programs and initiatives, such as the “Incentive Grant Program,” which would reward schools that focus on teaching workforce skills and work to keep college affordable for students.

Walker also said he would continue to provide the system with “increased flexibility” by maintaining a block grant funding system, which gives state education institutions money with limited restrictions on its use, as well as adds an additional $110.7 million in grant money over the next two years.

Walker’s announcements come two years after his previous budget required the UW System and public schools statewide to cope with massive cuts to funding. Members of the Teaching Assistants’ Association and Madison Teachers

Occupy’s concerns included the estimated 157 men who will remain on the streets on and after March 10 until county campgrounds open April 16, because they spent their allotted 60 stays per year at Porchlight shelters.

Campers also expressed apprehension in their response about the possibility people in the future will not receive a permit to stay on county owned campgrounds next winter.

“Hopefully, none of the current people at Token Creek will need to stay there next year,” campers said in the response. “But others may, and it is unfair to commit, in their absence and on their behalf, that

Additional details released for spring ‘Revelry’ festival

Two construction workers hurt in seperate accidents

Organizers of “Revelry,” the new end-of-the-year campus celebration, announced Friday the event will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 4.

Student leaders from the Wisconsin Union Directorate have planned the music and arts festival to give University of Wisconsin-Madison students an official event on campus with headlining artists to celebrate at the end of the semester, according to a press release from “Revelry” Spokesperson Bess Donoghue.

WUD President Sarah Mathews said in the release “Revelry” is not anti-Mifflin, despite the events falling on the same day.

The Associated Students of Madison have supported and endorsed the event but, according to the release, will likely only provide about one percent of funding for “Revelry,” with private sources providing most of the money.

Additionally, the release said tickets will tentatively go on sale April 5.

Once inside the event students age 21 or over can buy alcohol.

The Madison Fire Department responded to two separate accidents at different construction sites Friday, according to a city news release.

At 10 a.m., a construction worker at the site for a new library on 334 W. Doty St. fell about five feet onto a roof area, according to Madison Fire Department spokesperson Bernadette Galvez.

A crane operator from Stevens Construction Corporation, the company managing the site, worked with the MFD to lower the worker, who was conscious, to the ground where he was transported to St. Mary’s Hospital, according to the statement.

An hour and half later, the MFD responded to a call at the Memorial Union construction site, where a construction worker slipped from a beam, although the man’s harness prevented him from falling to the ground.

Medics took the injured man to University of Wisconsin Hospital after other workers lowered him to the ground, according to the statement.

Galvez said both workers sustained non-life threatening injuries.

An empty lot on the 800 block of East Washington Avenue will be the site of a new building constructed within the next few years to provide housing, commercial properties and a grocery store to nearby residents, according to a city release.

C.D. Smith Construction, T. Walls Enterprises and Gebhardt Development, working with Metcalfe’s market, submitted three separate potential designs in response to the city’s public request for proposals.

The designs will now undergo reviews and participate in a selection process in which the city will select a developer based

on multiple criteria including aesthetic appeal, economic impact, environmental friendliness and its ability to catalyze future developments in the area, according to the request.

The proposal from C.D. Smith states it would build “neighborhood hub” to reinforce the community with 200 housing units, multiple restaurants and businesses and a new Madison Fresh Market to the Capital East District.

T. Wall Enterprise’s proposal states it wants to improve the area, which it defines

cal to the future of our institutions [than diversity],” Barcelo said.

Barcelo also emphasized that administrators and the general public must stop looking at diversity as a problem to solve and begin seeing it as a benefit to be cultivated.

Despite all of the struggles those who pursue a more diverse campus culture have faced, Barcelo said the future is “bright” for the cause as long as everyone comes together to create a more diverse campus climate.

“I’m rather optimistic quite frankly,” she said. “That’s not to say there aren’t challenges ahead of us, but I think we have to stay the course.”

Barcelo said. “But there is a caveat: executive leadership is not enough.”

She also emphasized the need for everyone involved in improving diversity on campus, from students to staff and faculty, to work together to achieve the common goal of a more diverse campus and society.

“We are in this together,” Barcelo said.

“We can’t do this work alone and we can’t not do this work.”

Additionally, universities must begin to make cultivating diversity a priority, not just an afterthought, according to Barcelo.

soglin from page 1 choice—he has attempted to write the definitive analysis of “American Pie,” which is posted on his blog, waxingamerica. com—his ambitions were rooted in his belief that music can bring people together. “[Music] gives us a better understanding of other people,” Soglin said in an interview with The Daily Cardinal.

“It gives us a better understanding of ourselves.”

Soglin grew up blocks away from the historic Sutherland Hotel and lounge that hosted Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie, while Herbie Hancock was one of a handful of musicians ahead of him at Hyde Park High School.

“I’ve always been interested in music as far back as I can remember,” Soglin said.

“Growing up in [Hyde Park] Chicago, I was very much aware of blues. It was the culture of the neighborhood.”

Soglin didn’t skip a beat when he arrived in Madison as a freshman, immersing himself in the city’s culture at a time when musicians and record labels began to tap into college markets.

“Madison has always had a wonderful music scene, whether it was blues or jazz or rock,” he said, recalling Pete Seeger and John Coltrane’s shows at the Memorial Union. “There were so many good bands playing around Langdon Street and campus.”

Soglin studied history and law in Madison from 1962 until 1972, taking in the city’s musical scene and sounds as an

undergraduate and graduate student. Ben Sidran, an early collaborator of Steve Miller and Boz Scaggs, was one of his first friends on campus, and introduced him to jazz.

The mayor claims he can’t carry a tune. If he could, he’d play saxophone—in a band whose name remains undetermined.

“I suppose ‘Mad Men’ has already been taken,” he joked.

The tune of today

Ald. Scott Resnick, District 8, was caught off guard by the mayor’s passion for music during a town hall event in November, when the mayor talked “at great depth” about the need to support musicians and the music industry.

“Most folks in the city don’t know that side [of the mayor],” Resnick said. “I have the impression that it’s one of his top passions in life.”

In the end, the Board of Estimates restored Overture Center funding to its historic level of roughly $1.75 million and scrapped Soglin’s idea for a music video.

The city also pulled public funding for the South-bySouthwest-style festival, but Soglin’s idea has gained traction in the community. According to Verveer, the project will move ahead with financial backing from Frank Productions and the owners of the Majestic.

Though they rejected the marquee items on Soglin’s cultural agenda, the Board of Estimates approved $30,000 for two community-based projects: Dane Dances and Make Music Madison.

The first, which received

$5,000 in addition to pre-existing subsidies, is a nonprofit group that has organized eclectic summer dances on Monona Terrace for 12 years, while Make Music Madison, a new initiative spearheaded by former University of WisconsinMadison professor Michael Rothschild, received $25,000.

Inspired by Paris’ ‘Fête de la Musique,’ where musicians perform in public spaces all over the city on June 21, the longest day of the year, Make Music Madison will “allow for a variety of performers, a variety of abilities to meet a variety of audiences,” Soglin said. “That’s going to be kind of neat.”

“If you look at the community events, there are very few where you can bring people together regardless of race and economic class,” Resnick agreed.

“When you look at Make Music Madison [and Dane Dances], it’s a big win.”

Music and politics

Soglin was arrested for protesting at the first Mifflin Street Block Party, which was a rally against the Vietnam War, in 1969. In 1973, Soglin began his first term as mayor, and served until 1979. It was during this period that he began to disc jockey for charity benefits at the Cardinal Bar, something he would continue to do on and off until 1982. (“Proud Mary” was a favorite, while Patience and Prudence would clear the dance floor.)

“The Cardinal Bar was one of the few clubs in Madison that was truly open and comfortable for everyone regardless of sexual orientation,” he said. “And it

Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain said there have been almost a dozen burglaries in the area since the beginning of the year, mainly of laptops, and most occur in unlocked houses. units, a green roof and a Metcalfe’s Market.

Ald. Bridget Maniaci, District 2, and Ald. Marsha Rummel, District 6, who represent the area, said in a joint statement Friday they are impressed with the proposals and excited about the future of the project.

All three plans include a public promenade area unique to their respective designs and designated parking spaces.

The blues, jazz and soul Soglin grew up with in Chicago and Madison was the soundtrack of a tumultuous era. Amidst the civil rights movement and the counterculture of the ’60s and ’70s, music started breaching racial and cultural barriers between musicians and audiences.

The influences of black artists on white musicians and audiences became more clearly visible during this period. By the 1960s, Soglin recalls, original versions of black musicians’ R&B songs replaced Pat Boone and other white artists’ com-

Nick Cave just keeps on ‘Pushing’ CD REVIEW

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Push the Sky Away

By Cameron Graff the daily cardinal

Watching the evolution of Nick Cave is a bit like watching the evolution of man.

When Cave first grew arms and legs and shambled, quadrupedal, out from the primordial sea, he resembled some sort of prehistoric ’70s post-punk subhuman. Most people’s first exposure to him was through the apocalyptic video for The Birthday Party’s “Nick the Stripper,” which saw Nick romping through a flaming circus with “hell” scrawled in big bloody letters across his emaciated chest, howling like a madman over cawing brass fanfares.

Since then he’s grown, scaled up the proverbial evolutionary ladder one wrung at a time at a snail’s pace. After ditching The Birthday Party he quickly rebounded and formed Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds with a mostly new backing of knuckle-draggers. This first incarnation of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds released a cadre of wickedly gothy post-punk masterpieces starting with 1986’s Your Funeral...

My Trial and culminating with 1996’s Murder Ballads (People might cite Let Love In as the peak, but those people are false prophets.). They were raucous and they were mean and they were the best at what they did.

1997 saw the birth of a new Cave, withered and defeated and distinctly human, confined to a

Hamlet-black suit and sucking down cigarettes on a lonely piano bench. The Boatman’s Call was his breakup album, and it was wonderfully, pathetically understated. Afterward Cave found his renaissance with gospel-tinged alternative rock and later garagerock thrash, but the piano man in him has always simmered just below the surface, and now, 16 years later, he’s finally discreetly exploded forth again.

Push the Sky Away marks the Bad Seeds’ return to deviation from form with Nick and Company dialing the volume way back down from 11 to -10. Maybe it’s because Cave’s gallbladder has been squeezed dry of bile through side project Grinderman’s masochistic and hypersexual churn. Or maybe it’s because final founding Bad Seed Mick Harvey abdicated recently, but the Bad Seeds’ 15th album is a restrained and ghostly affair. And maybe it’s because of the maximalist Americanism of 2008’s Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! but Push the Sky Away is predominantly a shrunken Nick and Warren Ellis (no, not that Warren Ellis, the other one) coeffort, all keys, rattling percussion, sickly vocals and violin accentuations.

It feels like a more sinister take on The Boatman’s Call’s wide-eyed sincerity, in this sense—but where once there was heartbreak, now there’s something considerably darker. Something comparable to Eminem’s “3 A.M.” murder blues, the kind you get when you’re shaking and caffeine-addled and confused, waist deep in a pool of blood.

The two advance singles, “We No Who U R” and “Jubilee Street,” represent the two absolute ends of the record’s spectrum. The former is a spectral thing, paper thin and presided over by patient drum loops and a clinking piano and some of Cave’s most modest and detached lyrical

content to date. Nursery rhyme confidentials like “The tree don’t care what the little bird sings/ We go down with the dew in the morning light” dominate the first half of the song, and it’s downright pleasant. Innocent, even.

With the back half, however, menace creeps in in the form of a muted air raid siren synth hissing in the background, and the repeated chant of “We know who you are/and we know where you live/and we know there’s no need to forgive” sounds equal part reassurance and blood-curdling threat.

“Jubilee Street,” meanwhile, is the diametric opposite. It finds Cave back in his old storyteller’s boots, ever the psychosexual wreck of a man, recounting the murder of prostitute Bee over slow percussion thumps and plucked guitar lines. The grizzly content is easy to brush over on first listen, though— the song’s chorus, “All those good people out on Jubilee Street/They oughta practice what they preach,” and the mounting violin crescendos courtesy of Ellis give the song a moralistic and heroic vibe.

By the end of the song, as Cave is wailing, “I’m transforming/I’m vibrating/I’m glowing/I’m fly-

ing, look at me now,” it’s virtually impossible to remember that he’s the monster of the story, the putrid Nabokovian man who’s strutting around a “fetus on a leash.”

And that’s key to Cave’s eternal appeal. He’s our greatest living songwriter for a reason. Even here on Push the Sky Away, stripped of all his growl and all his bite, he’s still able to wrap you around his finger and twist you in ways music should never be able to. “Higgs Boson Blues” is an eight minute “On the Beach”-esque track about the weariness of universal understanding and Hannah Montana.

Slow-grind “We Real Cool,” like “We No Who U R,” utilizes Generation Y SMS wordsmithery and at one point, desperately and entirely unironically, claims “Wikipedia is heaven” (which, if you think about it, is considerably truer than one might first think).

“Mermaids” finds Nick crooning, “I believe in God/I believe in Mermaids, too,” and “Finishing Jubilee Street” is a sparse meta-tale about poetic-license-Nick Cave’s pedophilic nightmares immediately after completing “Jubilee Street.”

The album closes with the title track, possibly the most minimalis-

tic song the band has ever penned, a slow organ drone overlaying the distant thunder of occasional bass beats. Sounding more tired than he ever has, the 55-year-old Nick Cave whispers “And some people say it’s just rock’n roll/Oh, but it gets you right down to your soul.” It’s the least rock thing he’s ever written, but the message resonates and in context even its nauseating cliché feels like tongues of flame lapping against your brain.

Much like musician Scott Walker, who I raved about to closed ears and minds last year, Cave remains one of our greatest uncelebrated treasures. He’s aged better than Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young and every other heralded artist from the last half century; he’s the wiry shadow to their 10 foot tall frames.

And if it isn’t really possible to make a perfect, zeitgeist album in 2013 anymore (the internet has robbed us all of a cultural narrative, but that’s a discussion for another day) then Push the Sky Away finds Cave doing the second best thing; making one of the best albums by one of if not the absolute greatest songwriter who has ever lived.

Dealing with the myths and stigmas of the NC-17 film

By Lars Lindqvist Guest Columist

When one sees a film labeled with an NC-17 rating, several strange connotations come to mind, connotations that don’t necessarily reflect fairly on the movies themselves. For one, many come into the theater expecting to be shocked by something in this movie; after all, this isn’t just some lame torture-porn, R-rated movie, this is an NC-17 movie! Many times the source of this “shock” in the film comes in the form of an increased amount of sexuality and nudity (which is clearly more damaging to younger viewers than “Hostel”), and this has given NC-17 films an unfortunate hook for the audience. Thanks largely to the commercial success of movies like “Showgirls,” many people think that NC-17 films are a place to see naked actors and actresses on a large screen in a place that is not as shady or embarrassing as a dirty movie theater.

Well, hopefully this column might dispel some of the unfortunate views on these films. While it’s true that these movies do contain “ gratuitous” nudity, here is a list of three films that are not

only spectacular examples of film making but also fully embrace their NC-17 rating to produce fascinating films for adults.

“Midnight Cowboy” (1969): Although it was later re-released as an R-rated film, “Midnight Cowboy” broke ground when it was released and to date is still the only X-rated film (what they called it before deciding to switch to the more boring NC-17) to win best picture at the Oscars. The film tells the story of an ambitious young Texan named Joe Buck (played by Jon Voight in an Academy Award nominated performance) as he leaves his rural home and travels to New York with the aim of becoming the best male hustler around. There he meets the scuzzy conman Enrico “Ratso” Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman in another Oscar nominated performance—notice a trend?) and together the two of them slowly realize that the dream of making it big in the city isn’t so easy after all.

Poverty, sickness and desperation soon get the best of them, and it’s in these moments where the film fully embraces its X rating. As Joe becomes more and more des-

perate to try and survive, the film becomes almost hard to watch, as his sunny idealism that pervaded the earlier part of the film slowly disappears into the unsympathetic and more realistic life of a New York prostitute. While it’s definitely not a date movie (not many of those here) the film’s riveting performances and direction unflinchingly invert the American dream of making it in the big city.

Fun fact: The famous line “I’m walkin’ here!” is from this movie and it was completely ad-libbed when a taxi driver ignored the signs, drove on to the set and almost hit Dustin Hoffman.

“The Dreamers” (2003): Bernardo Bertolucci’s film is a celebration of the 1960s, Paris and, most importantly, of film.

The movie tells the story of a young American named Matthew who, while studying abroad in Paris in the summer of 1968, meets an eccentric pair of twins named Isabelle and Theo during the student riots that went on during that time. All three share a passion for film and they soon become fast friends, to the point where Matthew is invited to spend the month in their apart-

ment in the heart of Paris. Here they exchange differing views on music, politics and, of course, film, all while participating in the “free love” that was so popular during the ’60s.

However, as the riots start to get more out of hand, Matthew tries to shake the twins out of their delusional world view and force them to question their taboo sexual relationship and realize that just talking about world issues won’t solve anything. Bertolucci’s film is a love letter to the ’60s, capturing perfectly the wonder and naivete that pervaded the idealism of the time. More apparent though is the love for cinema that is resplendent throughout the movie. Oftentimes the characters act out famous film scenes, and Bertolucci intercuts these scenes with clips the movies themselves to give the audience an insight into the minds of these characters. A must see for any movie fan.

Fun Fact: This is Eva Green’s screen debut, and she is stunning in every sense of the word.

“Shame” (2011): Last but not least, my favorite film on the list, Steve McQueen’s “Shame” tells the harrowing story of a

New York City sex addict whose world is disrupted when his needy sister is forced to stay with him. I’ll be blunt, Michael Fassbender gives one of the best performances I have ever seen in this film, and the Academy not nominating him this year was one of the biggest Oscar snubs ever. The performance, like the film, is all about subtlety, as we see Fassbender’s character Brandon’s world slowly crumble all around him as he sinks deeper and deeper into desperation. Sure, it may be slow at some parts, but that’s because it establishes the monotony of Brandon’s daily life, with Fassbender acting the hell out of every scene with the most subtle of facial expressions.

At the end of the film we’re left with another tragic tale of addiction and desperation in New York City, a fitting conclusion to a list started by “Midnight Cowboy.” If you appreciate good acting this is a must see, as Fassbender bears it all in this movie (literally; queue the George Clooney joke about Fassbender’s future career in hands-free golf told at last year’s Golden Globes).

Mental health money a helpful red herring Gov. Scott Walker recently announced plans to propose a $29 million increase to mental health services in the state. Of the $29 million, $10.2 million would go toward expanding community-based care programs for individuals with severe mental illnesses and $12.5 million would fund two new treatment units at Mendota Health Institute. While Walker said the proposal is not solely intended for public safety purposes, discussions

surrounding mental health began in response to recent mass shootings nationwide.

In general, we believe this bill will benefit Wisconsin citizens. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, nearly 190,000 adults in Wisconsin live with mental illnesses. Providing them access to treatment not only offers an opportunity to improve public safety, but also address issues tied to mental illness such

as homelessness and substance abuse. Components of the proposal that would increase services for children are beneficial for intervening at a young age and teaching individuals how to successfully manage living with their illness early on.

However, we fear this legislation will become an excuse to avoid addressing gun control issues in the state. While gunmen in some highly publicized shootings, such as at Sandy Hook Elementary School, had histories of mental illness, most gun crimes are not committed by individuals on the edge of being institutionalized. The Federal Bureau of Investigation reported that between 2006 and 2010, 47,856 people were killed by firearms in the United States. Mentally ill individuals committed fewer than five percent of these crimes, the Institute of Medicine found.

So while mass shootings draw attention to the issue of gun violence, mental illness should not be used as a scapegoat for having the necessary conversations

dailycardinal.com about gun control. Individuals struggling with mental illness are much more likely to be the victims of violent crimes than the perpetrators, and simply focusing on improving mental health as a means of solving gun issues unfairly places all blame on these individuals. More steps need to be taken to prevent gun violence in the situations it typically occurs in—most involving individuals not considered to be mentally ill.

Further, if the money funneled into mental health initiatives is to be of any use, our society needs to work to reduce the stigma it currently places on mental illness. The media constantly bombards us with depictions of mentally ill individuals as violent, so we have come to understand that being mentally ill is equivalent to being dangerous. As a society, we have to accept that this is not the case.

If we expect individuals struggling with their mental health to seek treatment, we have to

make them feel as if they will not be shunned or feared once they admit they are mentally ill.

Proposals such as this, that imply that mental illness and gun violence are linked, do not help to reduce this stereotype. While this plan has the potential to provide needed aid to individuals struggling with their mental health, the resources it creates will be underutilized if people are afraid to admit they need help out of fear of being scrutinized.

So alone, this proposal has the potential to benefit some. Some people will likely seek the help they need, and it could even prevent someone battling with mental illness from doing harm to him or herself or others. We could see some results. Some. Coupled with new gun control policies and an altered way of perceiving people with mental illness, however, Wisconsin could truly have the potential to improve public safety and the mental health of its citizens.

Incentive-based funding for schools leaves some behind Mitch Taylor opinion columnist

M

ost people reading this are familiar with the American education system. Having the privilege of being woken up early every morning, brainwashed by radical liberal educators and arbitrarily judged on our intelligence is an experience shared by almost every child in this country. Education, I believe, is one of our most important political issues, as it paves the way for progress in the future. Because of this, I have much interest in Gov. Scott Walker and his education efforts. Recently, Walker announced his plans for a new set of reforms. In the

spirit of transparency, I feel it necessary to note my mother is a teacher and I participated in the anti-Walker protests here in Madison two years ago, so admittedly I am biased against Gov. Walker. Despite this, I sat down and tried to take an objective look at his proposals. Upon shallow examination, I rather liked some of it. It encourages reading and seems that it would improve teacher training. Quickly, however, I found something to object to. Walker’s reforms propose a system that rewards schools based on test scores. This isn’t a new idea. It’s already quite present in education funding. While I agree that it is important to reward achievement, I believe it is much more important to give aid to schools that need it rather than those that “earn” it.

When something isn’t work-

ing, it needs to be changed. We are faced with an education system in need of reform, so it is admirable of Walker to try to do something about it. This system of funding, however, will only perpetuate the status quo.

Schools that are currently successful will continue to be successful, but struggling schools will only continue to struggle.

This won’t bring change.

I don’t mean to say we should eliminate results-based funding.

It is good to incentivize schools to give their students the best possible education. The government, however, should really be focusing its money where it has the most effect. The schools that don’t meet education standards are the ones that need this funding the most. They lack proper facilities and quality programs because they are denied funding, and they are denied funding

because they lack proper facilities and quality programs. It is a downward spiral and it is one of the biggest detriments to public education in America.

I am very grateful to have attended great schools and to have had great teachers. Many people seem to forget, though, that this experience is not universal. Children in poor urban areas often are not provided with a fair chance at a quality education.

Needless to say, this drastically hurts their chances at obtaining a good higher education. It is because of this that we have affirmative action, which attempts to work against this problem. But affirmative action is only a superficial solution. The root of the problem is the inequality of our schools, and affirmative action will continue to be a necessity until we address that.

I understand the argument

against this view. Why would we reward schools for doing poorly?

My response to this is twofold.

First, it is absolutely ridiculous to believe that a school would sacrifice quality for more funding. It is not a reward. It’s help.

Second, and more important, the beneficiaries of this help would not be the poorly performing schools themselves, but rather the children that attend them.

By withholding funds from a school, the government is withholding funds from children in need of education. There is no reason for children to be punished for the quality of their school. Rather than focusing on the educational institutions, Walker and his reforms should focus on what really matters.

Senator Ron Johnson stuck in campaign mode to the detriment of state Ron Johnson, the fact that he might just be one of the worst senators in the history of Wisconsin politics.

Let’s just examine the way he an, I feel terrible. I got into Washington. He rode the had this whole thing Tea Party wave in 2010 and more planned out where I was alarmingly spent $8.7 million of going to formally introduce myself his own money during the camand my thoughts to everyone out paign. Not to mention the fact there. But Ron Johnson just had that outside money poured into to ruin it. The senior senator from the campaign and these ads were our home state put on quite the about three times more negative speech over the weekend. Here’s an than Russ Feingold’s ad buys. excerpt from this glorious display of Okay, so he spent enough of his oration: “Let me describe own money to supplement what we’re up against as the annual senate salary conservatives, as patriots, (which is about $200,000) as people who like freeliterally 43.5 times over. dom, as people who like That’s not really too bad this country... We are up if he decided as a senator against a strategy that is that he would work his taking place by liberals, way through and at least progressives, Democrats, try to be willing to work JOHNSON whatever they call with the other side to solve themselves nowadays, important issues. But nope, Socialists, Marxists... .” Now not Johnson has decided to spend the only is this comparison offensive last two years still in campaign to Marxists, it also has absolutely mode. It seems like he’s doing no place in politics. It’s incredibly things just for the press and pubdivisive and casts much doubt on licity rather than legislating for whether he is fit to do what it takes the people of Wisconsin. Instead to become an at least decent senator of being at the forefront of the for our state. But this speech just issues that he says he cares about, underlines the larger problem with he goes on CNN and FOX News

bringing more negative attention to things that apparently he has little to no expertise on.

But this speech just underlines the larger problem with Ron Johnson, the fact is he might just be one of the worst senators in the history of Wisconsin politics Take his jump to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which it seems he only did just in the last month to get his name in the papers over the Benghazi hearings. He left the Appropriations Committee, a committee that features what was thought to be a ‘core issue’ for Johnson in his 2010 campaign, pretty much because he had no influence on the committee. Not only that, he has repeatedly chastised the president over his foreign policy since joining the committee a little over month ago, calling it “a policy of diversion.” The sweet irony about this criticism being that one of his main criticisms against Feingold was that he criticized the president for the choice to engage in the Iraq War, saying that “when the

U.S. military is engaged, senators shouldn’t be publicly criticizing the policy.” If he was really for improving the economic life of this country, he would have stuck it out in the Appropriations Committee to gain influence there and bring actual, much-needed change to the way that Congress spends our money.

Instead he just quit and moved on to the next hot topic.

He’s operating under the guise of not having anything positive or constructive to say regarding how to fix this country, so he goes to the tried-and-true method of sweeping generalizations and vague exclamations, as displayed in his speech over the weekend. It’s almost a caveman-like “we freedom, they Marxist” sort of angle he was taking here. I mean, it got him the senate seat, so why should he stop doing it? Well I’ll tell you why he should stop doing it. He is a senior senator from Wisconsin, meaning that no matter how hurt he feels by people who have literally been in office 10 times as long as he has, he has to have the will to be able to collaborate with others whose opinions may be different from his. I mean look at Marco Rubio, the senior Republican senator from Florida.

He is as right-wing as they come, the ‘Republican Savior’ in some circles. But he still found the time to work with the most fervent liberals in the senate to create an immigration bill that might just finally solve the problem of illegal immigration in this country, and he only took office two years before Johnson.

This problem is not limited to Johnson or the Republicans though.

All over Congress, across party lines, you see politicians who would rather be in permanent campaign mode than, you know, actually getting down to solving the deeppressing issues that might just well signal the demise of this country if not dealt with imminently. We as a political community value the sound bite over the fact. Political posturing has become a permanent fixture in our politics. It’s a shame that actual legislators, the people that put aside petty irrelevant differences in an effort to get things done for the people that they work for and elected them into office, are on their way to being a thing of the past. And we only have representatives like Ron Johnson and his ilk to thank for this.

“They’re all really good with the puck.” Eaves said. “They’re all like starting quarterbacks.”

After a day hiatus and a short bus trip to the windy city, UW would bear the cold at Soldier Field in an attempt to wash the bitter taste of Friday’s defeat out of their mouths.

The last time the Badgers played outdoors was in 2010 at Camp Randall, a game that senior defenseman John Ramage was fortunate enough to have played in, bringing some small measure of outdoor experience to Chicago.

“For our team, this year playing at Soldier Field against Minnesota, a big rival, I think this definitely overtakes [that game],” Ramage said.

Over 52,000 were in attendance Sunday to watch the Border Battle in Chicago. he said.

The third period was even split into two halves, in which the teams switched sides, due to the choppy ice conditions.

After a slow start, in which sophomore goaltender Joel Rumpel made two early point-blank saves, Wisconsin thought it had taken an early lead when sophomore forward Joseph LaBate slapped a pop-up out of the air and into the goal. However, it was recalled after a referees’ review, in which a high stick was retroactively called.

“We weren’t on our toes” Ramage said of the first period. “We wanted to start off the first period with getting a lot of shots, and that’s something that we didn’t do.”

The opening period would end without any light in the lamps, but the second period was a completely different story following three Badger goals within four minutes of each other.

The first came with 6:55 left in the second period after sophomore forward Brendan Woods made a diving play to push the puck out to freshman defenseman Kevin Schulze, who buried it in the back of the net, giving Wisconsin first blood for the second time in the weekend’s Border Battle series.

“Getting that goal seemed to give us confi-

dence.” Eaves said of Schulze’s shot.

Ramage added a second goal one minute later when he bounced the puck off a Minnesota defender and past Gopher freshman goaltender Adam Wilcox.

Following a sequence in which Rumpel lost his stick and continued after taking Kerdiles’, junior forward Sean Little knocked a rebounded shot home, giving the Badgers a 3-0 lead in the final period of the weekend.

With less than 10 minutes left to play, Minnesota sophomore forward Seth Ambroz hammered a puck out from underneath Rumpel’s pad and into the net, finally putting the Gophers on the board.

With under two minutes remaining, Minnesota’s call to pull its goaltender paid off when redshirt junior forward Zach Budish ripped a shot from the point, bringing the Gophers within one, but the comeback would ultimately fall short in the same fashion as Friday’s.

Eaves compared both games, saying that Sunday’s contest was a replica of Friday’s game, where time expired before Wisconsin could complete its comeback.

Rumpel sealed the victory with a diving, legs-extended skate save as time expired.

It looks like a little change of pace was all the Badgers needed.

Wisconsin rides hot start, stifling defense to rout Buckeyes

By Vince Huth the daily cardinal

Any concerns No. 20 Wisconsin (9-4 Big Ten, 18-8 overall) would come out flat with No. 13 Ohio State (8-5, 18-7) in town, went out the door within a few minutes of play Sunday at the Kohl Center. With the two sides knotted up at 6 in the early stages, Wisconsin held the Buckeyes without a field goal (0-of-14) for nearly nine minutes while scoring 18 unanswered points to put things out of reach for OSU. The visitors wouldn’t pull any closer than 13 the rest of the way,

dropping a 71-49 contest—their third loss in the last four games.

The Badgers’ five-minute scoreless stretch to end regulation Thursday in Minneapolis led to a 58-53 overtime win for the Gophers, halting a three-game winning streak for Wisconsin. It could certainly be argued UW let one slip away in the midst of a heated Big Ten title hunt, and the Badgers could very well have come out deflated Sunday.

However, Wisconsin shot a season-best 52.7 percent (29-of-55) in its win over Ohio State, assisting on 16 of its 29 made field goals.

abigail waldo/the daily cardinal

The Badgers won their fifth game over a top-15 team this season with Sunday’s 71-49 throttling of No. 13 Ohio State. Wisconsin is 5-4 in such games this season.

Although head coach Bo Ryan thought the Badgers turned things around offensively Sunday, he said a big key was UW maintaining its intensity on the defensive end from Thursday.

“Sometimes when you have a bad game and the ball doesn’t go down, you let it affect other things,” Ryan said.

“The key with our guys is they never took a step backwards defensively or on the glass as far as how aggressive they’re gonna play.”

The teams’ shooting performances Sunday were nearly inversed of the previous meeting Jan. 29, a 58-49 victory for OSU. Wisconsin shot 36.5 percent in Columbus to the Buckeyes’ 51.5 percent mark, while Ohio State’s 37.5 percent Sunday paled in comparison to the Badgers’ 52.7 percent.

While the roles might have switched between the teams’ two matchups this season, UW’s shooting performance Sunday reminded Ohio State head coach Thad Matta of a Badgers-Buckeyes matchup two seasons ago in Columbus, a regular-season finale that OSU would win in a blowout, 93-65. The then-No. 1 Buckeyes shot 68.1 percent from the floor, including a staggering 14-of-15 from 3-point range.

“This was the flip of two years ago at our place,” Matta said. “I’m sitting over there kind of like, ‘My gosh, I’ve seen this before but on the other side of it.’”

The Badgers took 19 shots from beyond the arc on 55 total shot attempts, which was a much different approach from the teams’ previous meeting this season, when UW took 28 3-point shots on 52 field goal attempts. Wisconsin had a lot of success finding cutters in the lane and penetrating to the bucket, especially in the second half— UW’s first 3-point attempt in the second half came at the 13:26 mark.

Ryan said the Badgers were successful in cutting through Ohio State’s defense because they reacted to OSU’s over-aggressive play.

“They were overplaying; they were getting into us a little bit,” Ryan said.

“Nobody’s gonna let you get directly to the rim, but we attacked some angles and driving lines, which forced some help, which allowed us to kick to people.”

Four UW players scored in double digits, with junior guard Ben Brust and redshirt senior forward Jared Berggren leading the way with 15 points each. Brust also added 11 rebounds to record his fifth double-double of the season. Freshman forward Sam Dekker finished with 13 points on 5-of-9 shooting, and sophomore guard Traevon Jackson scored all of his 10 points in the second half.

Redshirt senior forward Ryan Evans, who missed practice Saturday with an illness, started for Wisconsin and played 24 minutes, scoring 9 points on 4-of-7 shooting.
