Soglin knocks county’s plan for homeless Mayor criticizes county’s lack of communication on shelter plans

By Abby Becker The Daily Cardinal

Mayor Paul Soglin criticized Dane County officials Friday for excluding the city from conversations regarding a new winter homeless shelter on Madison’s east side.

On Sept. 19, the county introduced a plan to provide for a winter homeless shelter on Wright Street.

Soglin said his staff received the county press release late in the day on Sept. 19, which was the first notification the mayor’s office had received regarding a specific site for the shelter.

In a sharply worded letter

to Dane County Executive Joe Parisi, Soglin said the county’s lack of communication is “unacceptable,” and the city has “grave concerns” for the proposed site.

“It appears that the City of Madison is the chosen municipality for locating a day shelter, yet our professional staff were not consulted and asked to assist in vetting potential sites,” Soglin said in the letter.

In determining a location for the proposed shelter, Soglin said the county did not contact his office, city departments or the city officials for the area.

Soglin also said in his letter the city does not have the funds or the responsibility to take care of Dane County’s and Wisconsin’s homeless.

“Even if we do not have to cover operating costs for a day shelter, the city will have

Obama to visit Madison Thursday President Barack Obama will campaign in Madison Thursday, in his first visit to the city since September 2010.

The visit comes just one day after the first presidential debate between Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney.

A recent Marquette University poll shows Obama ahead by dou-

ble digits in Wisconsin, but the state is still considered among a handful of swing states. Both campaigns have frequented the state in the last month, with Obama’s latest visit coming just one week ago when he spoke in Milwaukee.

The Obama campaign has not yet provided a location or time for the event.

UW could see increase in summer term classes

Jean Zimmermann, Brittany’s mother, hands out prizes to winners of the third annual “Brittany Run” Saturday.

Community rallies for annual ‘Brittany Run’

By Leo Rudberg The Daily Cardinal

Four years ago, the Zimmermann family experienced a tragedy when they lost their daughter, Brittany, a University of WisconsinMadison student, in a horrific and still unsolved murder.

According to event treasurer Beverly Otis, approximately 280 runners participated Saturday in the annual 5K “Brittany Run,” which was hosted by the Zimmermann family.

Although the goal of the race is to increase crime awareness, the money raised from the participation fee supports a private volunteer organization called Madison Area Crime Stoppers, which uses funds to pay for tips that aid police investigations.

Soon after Brittany’s death, the group approached her parents, Jean and Kevin Zimmermann, about partnering to raise crime awareness. “[Madison Area Crime Stoppers’ work] is truly unbelievable,” Jean said. “We were absolutely blown away.”

Brittany’s father Kevin said the annual run aims to draw the community’s attention toward crime in Madison.

UW-Madison senior Dani Fischer, who placed first in the female division, said she wanted to participate in the event because Brittany was murdered during her freshman year.

Fischer also said the event

holds an even greater significance because it is her final year as a Badger.

“The energy is amazing,” Fischer said. “Everyone feels like part of the Zimmermann family.”

UW-Madison freshman and Reserve Officers’ Training Corps Air Force member Ben Felhofer finished first place in his age group.

“Crime is always an important issue,” Felhofer said. “It affected the Zimmermann family deeply.”

University of WisconsinMadison Police Department officer and Crime Stoppers liaison Erik Pearce said he hopes the continuing event will bring in information about Brittany’s murder.

“Brittany’s legacy will not be as a victim but as a crime stopper,” Pearce said.

District Attorney Ismael Ozanne, who congratulated racers at the finish line along with Brittany’s parents, said there must be individuals who know something about Brittany’s death.

“Crime doesn’t happen in a vacuum,” Ozanne said.

Kevin said people need to take notice of crime and suspicious behavior because reporting incidents may end up saving a life.

“We can’t change the past, but we can help prevent similar crimes from happening in the future,” Kevin said.

To help students control the time it takes to earn a degree, the university will discuss adding new summer courses and increasing availability of select, already existing classes this week.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison will work toward determining the best classes for which to increase summer availability based on the needs of each school and college beginning Friday, according to Jeff Russell, Dean of Continuing Studies and Vice Provost of Lifelong Learning at the university.

Russell said the university could increase the availability of classes with historically high demand and courses it has not previously offered during the summer.

“It’s really to try to increase access [and] to help students… work on their degree program,” Russell said.

Students from Wisconsin who attend out-of-state universities during the academic year could be especially interested in UW-Madison summer courses, he added.

UW-Madison junior Ben Trapp, who is majoring in neurobiology, said adding summer classes would benefit students by improving how they plan for future semesters.

“Just having one less class or four less credits [in a semester] makes a difference.”

Ben Trapp junior UW-Madison

Trapp said if UW-Madison offered a summer “boot camp version” of the organic chemistry lab, students could avoid stress during the academic year.

Trapp plans on taking summer courses to catch up on general education credits he needs for his degree. He also wants to take 12 credits next semester, using the extra time to study for the Dental Admission Test, and said taking summer courses would help balance a lighter credit load.

“Just having one less class or four less credits [in a semester] makes a difference,” he said.

“…the great state University of Wisconsin should ever encourage that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found.”

Andy Holsteen a hol lot to say

T

he concept of being a grown-up terrifies me.

I’m not too concerned about moving out of my parents’ house or having to work 40 (okay, probably more than 40) hours per week. It’s a fear of heightened expectations— knowing my actions can’t be cushioned forever.

I’ve never been responsible, at least not how the term is commonly understood. Sure, I can keep appointments, brush my teeth, drive, vote, go to jail and make my own meals, but these are linear traits that don’t have to be earned. They just become a necessary reality after a certain age.

Maybe that’s why I find the thought of growing up so scary.

I’m already seeing myself change, so the bits of sans-serious living I

can still hold onto right now might disappear without warning. My let’s-see-how-this-unfolds attitude, or uncanny ability to balance work and prolonged periods of laziness, could just be gone one day. Isn’t there something inherently wrong with letting my life be dictated formulaically?

At 16 you are expected to get a driver’s license; at 18, you are supposed to be voting and going off to college; 21 marks the year when you can finally (legally) have that first drink. Granted, a four-year-old shouldn’t be driving a car, but neither should a good portion of high school students. When a precedent has been established, however, people sort of disregard their actual capabilities or desires and force themselves into situations.

I bet there are quite a few people here at UW only going to school because they don’t know what else to do. Possibly their parents gave them no other options, or maybe they felt overwhelming pressure to do the same thing as their friends.

The Dirty Bird

Either way, nobody wins.

This system makes no sense to me. Human beings aren’t machines that need to be upgraded every so often. We are organic, and our way of life should be too.

The transition from childhood to “adult” life, in tier form, is equivalent to disregarding one’s identity. There is absolutely no reason to plan your life out with step-by-step goals unless you are incapable of dreaming altogether. The human genome doesn’t specify when to get married, move to the suburbs, start having kids and pull out all your hair from the constant stress of faking self-satisfaction.

Consider the reasoning behind your actions. Do you make decisions based on what you actually want, or just what’s expected of you? Maybe you can’t even tell the difference. I speculate that most of the things people think are important in life—falling in love, making a lot of money, getting a promotion and so on—only matter to them because they’ve been told to care.

I’m not trying to say that everyone should just drop what they’re doing and go back to giving one another cootie shots.

Childhood could not exist at all if nobody had maturity.

But maybe maturity is more than being cordial, working nine to five and saying “excuse me.” I don’t think accepting things as they are makes someone a grownup. To me, it’s about always keeping dreams alive, even when life seems impossibly menial.

Sometimes I let myself get caught up in the nonsensical state of mind that I should be more serious because, well, it’s what people my age are supposed to do.

If you can only find happiness by accumulating titles and climbing the corporate latter, fine, do it. I do have one request, however: don’t just accept this path because people tell you to.

Be your own person, make decisions at your pace, not society’s and keep your dreams alive.

sex and the student body

Playing the game: the art and craft of orgasms

Alex Tucker sex columnist

D

ear Alex, I don’t think I’ve ever had an orgasm, but I’m not exactly sure. How can I tell? Please help!

NO-Faced

This is a fantastic question, and although there are countless pages of literature about this very topic, it is still a challenge to decipher what a true orgasm feels like. Thus, and in the spirit of UW-Madison, I offer this metaphor: An orgasm is the sexual equivalent of a Badger football game here at our own Camp Randall. Yes, it is weird.

However, before you condemn this silly allegory, allow me to dissect each part of the orgasm and its very own Badgerific correspondent out on the field.

The first part of the game, the student section is pretty high energy. It is just like a person being pleasured—whether using a hand, cucumber, vibrator or another person’s various body part—feels when they just begin the process.

Halftime: While every fan is grooving to the marching band, the players are in the locker room getting pumped for the next half. The excitement is especially building in the student section, where people realize that in just a short half hour they will be hitting the jackpot.

In the third quarter the fans are less enthralled, but damn

they’re glad to be there. This is the part where one’s breath begins to quicken, the pleasure is growing, growing, becoming unbearably pleasurable and then…

“JUMP AROUND, JUMP AROUND, JUMP UP JUMP UP AND GET DOWN!” A huge burst of energy flows throughout your body, a sporadic release that also may cause some body spasms!

So, how do we achieve this tremendous “Jump Around” in your pants? For male-bodied people, jerking off with a hand (whoevers will do just fine!), a fleshlight or being strategically stimulated by a partner’s mouth or orifice should do the trick. For female-bodied people, stimulation of the clitoris using hands or a vibrator, receiving oral sex or being manually pleasured by your partner’s hands can lead to orgasm.

Additionally, a person with a G-spot can be brought to Camp-Randall-esque bliss by stimulation of that special area. The G-spot on femalebodied people can be found in the vagina by inserting two fingers, palm facing the ceiling, and making a “come hither” motion. Feeling the G-spot in a vagina is very similar to feeling a nose on a face: the difference between the nose and the cheek is like the difference between the G-spot and vaginal wall! Having trouble finding this spot? Maybe your partner isn’t quite aroused enough.

As female bodies have as much erectile tissue as male bodies, much of the anatomy is hidden unless a lady is all hot-andbothered. Don’t give up, finding that treasure trove is worth the extra time put in.

The male G-spot is in a different spot entirely and is actually called the prostate.

This little gland produces the milky part of sperm and can be very pleasurable to play with.

Finding it is similar to finding the female G; with the malebodied person laying down, stick a finger into the anus and make that same beckoning motion with los digitos. When you find the walnut sized spot, as my good friend Hans Landa says, “THAT’S A BINGO!” Although these tips may work for you, they do not work for everyone. Everyone’s body is unique, and the best way to

orgasm is obviously to know what you like. If you’re not sure what it is that gets you off, play around with it yourself so you can explain to a partner what makes you “Jump Around.”

Learn how your body encounters the many steps of a good “Jump Around,” and understand how to feel comfortable with the process. The more relaxed you are, the higher you will jump. Good luck, and get your game face on, Badgers!

How do you “Jump Around?” Want to have your questions answered? Email Alex any comments and questions at sex@dailycardinal.com.

Thompson, Baldwin debate economy, health care plans

soglin from page 1 to deal with the impact on neighborhoods and the costs associated with the impact,” Soglin said.

The Dane County Board voted Sept. 20 to approve the homeless shelter, which will be open from November

through April. Board members added to allow the county to pick a site other than Wright Street if necessary.

“City Staff are analyzing [Wright Street] based on the limited information that has been provided, and it is not a given that we will be able to support its selection,” Soglin said.

Former Gov. Tommy Thompson and U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., squared off in the first debate of the U.S. Senate general election campaign Friday night, frequently attacking each other’s records while touting their own plans for the economy, health care and other pressing issues facing the country.

In the debate hosted by the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association in Milwaukee, Thompson, the Republican nominee, defined Baldwin as part of the problem in Washington and placed her at the fringe of the political spectrum, calling her the most liberal member of Congress.

"My opponent is so far to the extreme, even her party doesn’t pass any of her legislation," Thompson said.

Baldwin criticized Thompson for representing the wealthy instead of standing up for the middle class.

"I have taken on powerful interests on behalf of ordinary citizens. My opponent has taken on powerful special interests as clients," Baldwin said, referring to Thompson’s time at a law and lobbying firm in Washington.

One of the major sparring points early in the debate was health care.

Thompson said he would fully repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with a plan that is more affordable and allows patients greater freedom to choose their own doctors.

However, Baldwin championed the health care law, specifically a provision she helped draft that allows individuals to stay on their parents insurance until age 26.

When asked for their plans to jumpstart the economy and address

the nation’s deficit, Thompson emphasized his experience creating jobs during his 14 years as governor.

Additionally, he advocated for a balanced budget amendment, reductions in federal taxes and spending.

Baldwin said she would like to see a more “balanced approach” that raises taxes on the wealthiest Americans while increasing investments in education and research.

While the candidates clashed over almost every major issue, both agreed the United States must prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and withdraw troops from Afghanistan immediately.

Thompson and Baldwin are battling to take over the seat held for 24 years by U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., who is retiring at the end of this term.

The next U.S. Senate debate will take place Oct. 18 in Wausau.

Police break up large fight on State Street Police officers deployed pepper spray early Saturday morning to disperse a group of fights that broke out on State and North Frances streets early Saturday morning.

Officers reported a crowd of approximately 200 people had gathered in the general area prior to the disturbances, according to Madison Police Department Lt.

Stephanie Bradley Wilson.

Wilson said a dozen Madison police officers responded to the scene at approximately 2 a.m.

Officers were forced to use pepper spray to break up the unruly crowd, according to police.

Wilson said officers arrested several individuals, including Theodore Taylor, who police

said struck an officer in the head and chest.

The Officer in Charge said Sunday he did not know how many people were arrested.

Police arrested Taylor on tentative counts of disorderly conduct, resisting officers, violating probation and beating up an officer.

P

umpkin season is upon us at last (although I would argue pumpkinthemed foods never go out of style), and I urge you to take advantage of the proliferation of roadside pumpkin sales to indulge in this versatile gourd all month long. Pumpkins, my friends, are not just good for carving jack o’ lanterns and roasting the seeds for some library-session munchies.

I have been known to incorporate pumpkin into my breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts and even my night caps. For anyone still straddling the fence between thinking, “Pumpkin pie is OK, I guess,” and “I want pumpkin in and around my mouth all day long,” let me persuade you to cross over to the latter side.

I stumbled upon the following recipe my sophomore year here at UW-Madison

4

2 cups dark chocolate chips 3/4 cup roughly chopped pecans DIRECTIONS: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment, leaving an overhang on all sides.

Grease with nonstick cooking spray. If you don’t have parchment paper, just grease the pan extra well to make sure you don’t have any stickypoo action.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.

3. In another large bowl, cream butter and sugars on medium-high speed until smooth; beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in pumpkin puree. The mixture may look curdled like cottage cheese, but do not fret, ’tis only temporary.

4. Reduce speed to low, and mix in dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips and pecans.

5. Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake until edges begin to pull away from sides of pan and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. This will take roughly 35 to 40 minutes, but ovens tend to vary so keep a diligent eye on those blondies and set the timer for the shortest time first, so as to ensure your blondies retain their moist, rich center.

I would recommend baking two batches, as I predict you will find the moist, semi-spicy blondies to be too tantalizing to resist and will finish the meager pan in about 1.5 days. Happy pumpkin season to all, and let the pumpkin feast begin!

This can be a huge problem in areas like business and marketing, where hands-on experience is one of the only ways to gain a reputation in the field.

However, students who take courses over the summer term are not required to take any certain amount. They can take three credits or 12, the choice is their own. And if a student chooses to take one three-credit course, they would have no problem working at the same time, especially since the program offers online courses as well.

The schedule is very flexible, and with these online options students can go on family vacations or internships abroad while completing the classes they need for their degree. There is even a summer study abroad program, where students travel to different countries over the summer and still get some credits out of the way.

Completing the coursework is probably the most attractive part of summer school for students.

It can be difficult to get every requirement done on time, and with the national average of fouryear graduates at a very low rate of 31 percent, it is clear students need this extra option to finish college in the desired timeframe.

Even a few extra credits can make the difference between four-and-a-half and five years.

One or two classes over the summer can also reduce the number of credits a student has to take during the year so he can achieve a higher GPA, increasing his ability to attend graduate school if he chooses.

There really is no negative to this program. it is not required and doesn’t infringe on students’ other opportunities.

Students still have to pay for these summer credits, but they may save money in the long run when they don’t have to pay for housing and other fees. The cost of attendance at UW-Madison is currently approaching $24,000, according to the Student Center.

Students who spend five, six or even seven years here can expect their total cost to far exceed $100,000, and this is a price tag many cannot afford.

Condensing their education by taking advantage of summer school opportunities will allow students to finish in fewer years, begin working in their preferred field sooner, and save them from a lifetime of student loan debt.

There really is no negative to this program. It is not required and doesn’t infringe on students’ other opportunities. Hopefully UW-Madison officials will find a way to offer even more classes, and maybe provide some kind of incentive—reduced cost?—for summer school participants.

Second half woes doom Big Ten opener

By Parker Gabriel the daily cardinal

LINCOLN, Neb.—The Badgers struggled in short-yardage situations throughout the non-conference season. Saturday night, against No. 22 Nebraska (1-0 Big Ten, 4-1 overall), it cost Wisconsin a chance to win its Big Ten opener.

Faced with a fourth-and-one on its own 49-yard line after having a first-down spot overturned by instant replay, senior running back Montee Ball (32 carries, 90 yards, 3 TDs) and redshirt junior quarterback Danny O’Brien muffed a handoff Ball did not expect to get. It served as the culmination of a long, steady comeback for Nebraska, which trailed 27-10 early in the third quarter, only to score the game’s final 20 points and top Wisconsin (0-1, 3-2) 30-27 in front of 85,962 at Memorial Stadium.

On the critical fourth-down play, a miscommunication between Ball and O’Brien, who entered the game in place of redshirt freshman quarterback Joel Stave for Wisconsin’s final drive, cost the Badgers.

O’Brien said the play was designed for him to make a decision at the line of scrimmage. Either he handed to Ball on the right side, or kept the ball on a naked bootleg back to the left. Ball thought the bootleg was automatic and that there was no chance he was getting the ball.

“I wasn’t expecting the ball at all, I was selling the fake,” Ball said. “I didn’t even know the ball was behind me.”

O’Brien said his read was to

A late-game botched exchange between senior running back Montee Ball and redshirt junior quarterback Danny O’Brien sealed Wisconsin’s fate in the Big Ten opener in Nebraska. hand the ball off because Nebraska, which had been overloading the right side when the Badgers motioned to the right, kept two defenders to the left, making a bootleg unlikely to succeed.

“Had I known—it happens within two seconds, but had I known [Ball] didn’t know he was going to get the ball, I would have called timeout,” O’Brien said. “I told him any time that kind of stuff happens it’s 100 percent on the quarterback.

That’s what you sign up for when you play quarterback.”

Through the first 35 minutes, it did not appear Wisconsin would

need any sort of late-game magic to leave Lincoln with a victory.

The Badgers led 20-10 at the half on the strength of 161 yards through the air and a touchdown from Stave. He completed nine of his 14 first-half attempts and found redshirt junior wide receiver Jared Abbrederis (7 receptions, 142 yards, TD) for a 29-yard score early in the second quarter.

Stave’s production through the air also included a 54-yard strike to Abbrederis and a 30-yard completion to sophomore wide receiver Chase Hammond.

Wisconsin grabs first home win of season

By Jonah Beleckis the daily cardinal

The Wisconsin men’s soccer team (0-1-0 Big Ten, 3-4-3 overall) won its first home game this season against Cleveland State (4-5-1 overall), 2-1, Saturday night.

“Our attacking players had nice dynamic movement up there,” said junior defender Blake Succa, who assisted on both Badger goals. “We moved the ball around well and had a lot of options and were able to put

a couple away.”

After recent offensive struggles, two first half goals proved vital in the Badgers holding on to win.

“Any soccer game turns on goals,” head coach John Trask said. “You can make the argument that the second goal before half was a dagger.”

Goals allow great momentum shifts, and fortunately for Wisconsin, the Vikings could not find another goal.

Cleveland State senior forward Aaron Adkins scored an 86th-minute goal. However, the Badgers’ defense held the Vikings to only three shots on goal.

“We did exactly what we needed to do,” said freshman goalkeeper Chase Rau. “We stayed compact, we stayed intelligent.”

Wisconsin will travel to Bloomington to meet No. 11 Indiana (2-0-0, 7-2-1) next Saturday night.

David Gilbert forced a fumble on Nebraska’s first second-half possession and Wisconsin turned it into a touchdown four plays later, the Badgers looked to be in control.

Then Nebraska ran wild.

Despite being held to just 68 rushing yards in the first half, the Cornhuskers finished the night with 259 yards on 46 carries (5.6 yards per carry). Junior quarterback Taylor Martinez was especially deadly in the second half and finished with 107 yards on the ground, including a 38-yard touchdown scamper midway through the third quarter.

“Obviously [Nebraska’s] quarterback can run and that’s kind of what they did (in the second half),” redshirt senior linebacker Mike Taylor said. “We dropped out in pass coverage and you can scramble and get some big plays. It was just a matter of time before they tried to use [Martinez] more and they used him well tonight.”

While the Nebraska offense ramped up in the second half, the Wisconsin attack stalled. The Badgers managed just 90 yards in the final 30 minutes, 36 of which came on the ill-fated final drive. Ball mustered 31 second-half yards and was stopped for two yards or less on nine of 15 attempts.

“We just have to make sure we prepare for a four-quarter game,” Ball said. “It seemed like we let off the gas.”

The Badgers had two sustained scoring drives—the opening 5-play, 71-yarder and a 10-play, 65-yard march in the second quarter—but also had two short scoring drives following Nebraska turnovers.

Wisconsin’s only other sustained drive came up empty when freshman kicker Jack Russell missed a 41-yard field goal attempt.

Russell also missed the extra point on Wisconsin’s third score, and the significance of those four points was not lost on Bielema.

“The kicking game has been a little bit up-and-down,” Bielema said. “At times, both of them show really, really good things and it’s made it difficult where to go and what to go with.”

U.S. soccer popularity on the rise matthew kleist too kleist for comfort

A

nyone who knows me knows that I am not particularly a fan of the English Premier League. In fact, I just do not like the EPL. The EPL is often touted as the greatest football (soccer for those who may be confused) league in the world. Historically it has been a dominating league, but to call it the greatest in today’s soccer world is a stretch. In my opinion, I believe the German Bundesliga or Italy’s Serie A would give the EPL a run for its money.

For the purpose of this column, I am going to talk about the Tottenham Hotspur-Manchester United game from last Saturday.

Now, I did not watch this game, but when I saw the result of the game—and who had ultimately scored the deciding goal—I became interested in the result.

Tottenham walked away from Old Trafford with a 3-2 victory— its first win at Manchester United since 1989—thanks to a game-winning goal scored by United States international Clint Dempsey.

The goal itself wasn’t anything spectacular, but it was the first for Dempsey in the 2012-’13 campaign and for Tottenham. More importantly, though, it was another sign soccer is growing in the U.S. The United States is probably the last country in the world to

embrace the beautiful game and, even though we’re not completely there yet, the sport’s popularity is on the rise. The recent success of the men’s and women’s national teams has many Americans catching the soccer bug.

If you do not believe the sport is catching on, open your eyes.

Major League Soccer franchise markets are crazy about soccer.

Teams like the New York Red Bulls, Seattle Sounders, L.A. Galaxy and Real Salt Lake have fan bases approaching the size of other pro sports teams.

I think it took too long for soccer to really start growing in the United States. But then again, Americans like to do things their own way (why can’t we just use the metric system? It is so much easier).

When I see a U.S. international like Dempsey succeeding in Europe, I get excited about soccer’s future in the United States. A top scorer in the EPL last season for Fulham, Dempsey added his name to the list of American products to play in Europe.

It’s those players like Dempsey, Landon Donovan and Tim Howard that are inspiring young kids across the United States to play soccer. Their popularity domestically and internationally is helping to boost the prominence of American soccer, a trend I believe will undoubtedly continue into the future.
