The city of Madison’s attorney’s office could revoke Logan’s Madtown Restaurant and Bar’s liquor license after the downtown establishment, located at 322 W. Johnson St., failed an audit requested by the Madison Police Department. Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said under the Alcohol License Density Ordinance and the specific conditions of its liquor license, 50 percent of Logan’s profits must come from food and non-alcoholic beverages in order to meet the city’s definition of a restaurant. But Budget and Audit Manager Debra Simon concluded
that from May 2011 to May 2012, 67 percent of Logan’s revenue
“Logan’s was not the only establishment ... that did not look like a bona fide restaurant.” Mike Verveer alder District 4
came from alcohol while only 33 percent came from food and nonalcoholic beverages.

Baldwin outraises Thompson in most recent fundraising period By Adam Wollner The Daily Cardinal
U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., hauled in $1 million more than former Gov. Tommy Thompson for her U.S. Senate bid during the most recent campaign finance reporting period, allowing the Democratic nominee to maintain her fundraising advantage over her Republican opponent. According to campaign announcements Monday, Baldwin raised $4.6 million from the beginning of July through the end of September, while Thompson collected $3.6 million in the same three-month period,
$2.2 million of which came after the Aug. 14 primary. Baldwin’s campaign has now raised about $11.7 million for the Senate race compared to the approximate $6.1 million total Thompson has brought in since January 2011. The Baldwin campaign reported having $3.5 million on hand, virtually the same amount it had left at the end of the last reporting period. Thompson’s campaign said it had just under $2 million on hand at the end of September, an improvement from the $346,000 it had on hand the night of the primary.
Thompson has struggled to keep up with the fundraising pace of his opponents throughout the course of the Senate campaign. He lagged well behind Madison businessman Eric Hovde and former U.S. Rep. Mark Neumann during the GOP primary and though he has made up ground, still trails Baldwin, who faced an uncontested primary. Mike McCabe, the director of the watchdog group Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, said he expects Baldwin to continue to

Committee discusses offering ‘preferred name’ option The Associated Students of Madison Diversity Committee met Monday to discuss its campus-wide “Preferred Name Policy” campaign, which could enable students and faculty to modify their first name in the University of WisconsinMadison’s information systems. The campaign seeks to create a policy for students and faculty who do not identify with their birth name and wish to be recognized by an alternate, preferred name. The policy would allow students to use a preferred name on their WISCards and Learn@ UW accounts, while also giving faculty members the ability to
amend their name within the university’s information. Gabe Javier, Director of the LGBT Campus Center, said all students and faculty would stand to benefit from this policy. “This is a universal accessing issue,” Javier said. “There will be people beyond transidentified people who access this policy.” The committee members identified international, trans-identified, divorced and recently married students and staff as potential beneficiaries of such a policy. The committee also began development of a campaign strategy focusing on the need
to educate and familiarize both those who could benefit and their allies who will help the campaign move forward. The committee’s next step will be to seek the support of Dean of Students Lori Berquam, Vice Provost for Enrollment Joanne Berg and Chief Information Officer Bruce Maas through testimonials, letter writing and petitions. Although no other Wisconsin university has adopted such a policy, universities across the country, including the University of Michigan, have successfully embraced similar policies. —Paige Villiard and Caroline Zellmer

Go Big Read author visits UW to discuss ‘Radioactive’ By Shannon Kelly The Daily Cardinal
Lauren Redniss, author of the University of WisconsinMadison’s 2012 Go Big Read selection “Radioactive,” visited Union South Thursday to speak to a crowd of several hundred about her book as well as her past writing and artistic projects. “Radioactive” tells the story of the lives and scientific achievements of Marie and Pierre Curie, who discovered radioactivity and two new ele-
ments, radium and polonium. The book also explores repercussions of their work, including the consequences of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Redniss said she conducted research in the process of creating “Radioactive,” including travelling to Poland and Hiroshima, where she was inspired by the beauty created by lingering reminders of the atomic bombing. Redniss said she always
