Gordon had rushes of 42, 62, 44, 43 and 68 yards, which consistently gave the Badgers good field position and took pressure off redshirt junior quarterback Joel Stave. Stave completed seven passes for 46 yards and a touch-

down on just 11 passing attempts, but he was not about to complain about the lack of opportunities to air the ball out.

“We’re talking on the headset between every series about those play action passes that we’d like,” Stave said. “We start with a run and Melvin takes it to the 10-yard line and, well, you can’t run any of those plays anymore.

FACULTY PROFILE

UW-Madison dining director continues lifelong passion for food service

By Jessica Dorsky THE DAILY CARDINAL

COURTESY OF JOIE SCHOONOVER

UW-Madison dining director Joie Schoonover has had a passion for food services since she was in fourth grade.

UW-Madison’s Director of Dining and Culinary Services Joie Schoonover began her robust and varied food service career when she was in fourth grade, sorting silverware for her elementary school cafeteria.

Schoonover’s work in food service continued through high school and college, where she worked as a dining hall student supervisor. After graduating from Purdue University with a degree in restaurant and hotel management, she held a variety of jobs in dining operations before coming to UW-Madison.

Working in UW-Madison’s housing branch of dining

involves a lot of interaction with other people, an aspect Schoonover said is both the best and most challenging part of the job.

“I get to work with some amazing people, who have great ideas and are very student-focused,” Schoonover said.

She said her co-workers have come up with many creative ideas for residents, including offering students the opportunity to dip their own caramel apples on Halloween.

Additionally, dining halls recently offered an activity called “Flamingo Run Run,” where a student won the opportunity to dash around the Flamingo Run convenience store for 30 seconds,

taking as much as possible from the shelves.

Much of the food served in the dining halls is manufactured on the UW-Madison campus, including 165,230 tons of soups and sauces that were sold during the 2013-14 academic year.

Schoonover said UW-Madison is the only school she has worked at where food is sold a la carte. She added that having students pay per item holds many benefits over traditional meal plans, which bring in a finite amount of money per semester and limit what dining halls can serve.

Drunk Husker tries, fails to make jump over vehicle before football game Trying to tackle Melvin Gordon could have felt like being hit by a car to Nebraska players, but one Nebraska fan felt that all too literally.

Police detained 22-year-old Bryce Consbruck at the inter-

section of North Broom Street and West Gorham Street after Consbruck caused a traffic disturbance early Saturday morning, according to a Madison Police Department incident report.

According to MPD,

Consbruck was intoxicated during his interview and used profanity in his statement to police. After transporting him

to a local hospital, police cited Consbruck for sudden pedestrian movement before his release.

In his statement to officers, Consbruck promised to “never try and jump over a moving car again,” according to the MPD report.

sex and the student body

Keep cool while still keeping your partner happy

edit@dailycardinal.com Editor-in-Chief Jack Casey

tuesday: partly sunny

Alex tucker sex columnist Dear Alex, I just finished watching The Office and I’m inspired by the grand romantic gestures Jim always does for Pam. How can I be like a TV character without being too cheesy?

Thanks!

F

irst and first mostly, romantics are about the little things.

Grand romantic gestures can be cute, but we’ll get to those later. However, subtly letting our partners know how important they are can be more sustainable and meaningful for a long-term relationship.

Cell phones. There is nothing less attractive than a partner who checks or plays on their phone while on a date or hanging out. It’s rude and communicates the idea that people beside the one we’re with are more important than that person.

Along the same lines, answering texts and other social media messages in a timely manner can mean the world to people. It can be stressful to put ourselves out there through a communication as fragile as texting, so letting our partners know we’ve seen their text and have a response goes a long way.

Actively showing interest in what our partners have to say is necessary for a lasting relationship. Making a big deal out of big news is fantastic, but celebrating little things, like our partner’s new job interview or their phenomenal grade on a tough exam, means a whole lot more.

What’s always important to remember is don’t cause extra stress. We should always be open to making an effort to ask about and try to fulfill our partner’s needs in a relation-

ship. Some people need to be reassured about their looks or personality. Some people want their partners to “Like” what they post on Facebook.

A lot of people like bedroom activities to go a certain way (i.e. kissing even after blowjobs or sleeping over/cuddling after sex).

Additionally, if we’re hoping to see somebody, we should tell them concretely.

None of this wishy-washy “Maybe we’ll meet up,” or, “Going out tonight?” Asking someone directly to hang out allows people to relax instead of stressing about intentions.

Cell phones. There is nothing less attractive than a partner who checks or plays on their phone while on a date or hanging out.

It’s rude and communicates the idea that people beside the one we’re with are more important than that person.

Going through a night out is much more enjoyable when we know we’re going to meet up instead of simply “trying to hang later.” Use phrases like, “I want to meet up with you later,” or “Can I take you on a date?” Yum!

And after the date?

Follow up. Every time.

After dates, we should shoot our special someone a text telling them how much fun we just had or how nice they looked.

Making something that lasts

By creating something tangible, even if it seems insignificant or silly, we’re allowing our partners to hold onto something we thoughtfully crafted especially for them.

Whether it’s a holiday card, a post-it note or a handmade cartoon about their life and adventures, they’re sure to

On this day in history...

1869—Englishman James Moore wins the world’s first bicycle race, narrowly beating his mates to the pub.

1940—The Green Bay Packers become the first NFL team to travel by plane. The New York Jets are established in honor of their historic voyage.

1947—The U.S. Screen Actors Guild implements an anti-Communist loyalty oath: “I hereby promise not to be a commie, swear on my mommy.”

1977—In the Miss World Contest, Miss UK wears a $9,500 platinum bikini, welded to her exact specifications.

love having something to hold onto when we’re not around.

My roommate described her dream date and I wrote it verbatim: “So when the guy picks her up, he should have flowers, not just one, like a bouquet. Rings doorbell, opens, gasp, hands flowers, kiss on the cheek, opens [car] door for her. And then he takes her to a romantic symphony orchestra and the whole time he has his hand on her knee but not thighs. You’re dressed up. And then you go to a fancy bar and have appetizers for dinner. And then, you have cocktails and dipped strawberries, but I don’t eat strawberries.”

My name is Alex Tucker and I do not endorse this message.

The big stuff: Flowers, candles, art!

Some people think of gifts, some people think of “just because” events. Whatever we choose, we should incorporate something personal.

For my friend in love with dairy products, a partner who thinks to buy her cheese for tasting would steal her heart.

Baking our partner’s favorite treat or carrying something for them, grabbing their favorite wine or buying tickets to an event they want to go to are all ways to express our affection.

And the way to make it “grand” without being too cheesy is by making it a SURPRISE. Another way to really knock somebody’s socks off ?

Send them a letter. It can be anything: a little note, a poem, even a letter detailing why we care about them so so much.

After all, people love getting stuff in the mail that isn’t from Chase or Charter.

Similarly, coming to our partner’s place to drop off

something special, going to visit them at work or surprising them in class can be super thrilling and very sweet.

The Gender Gap

That’s right, I said it. The “G” word. Gap. Just kidding, I’m talking about gender. We have a really fun construction in our society that allows people with penises to be romantic and sweet, while people with vaginas who do the same stuff are considered clingy and feminine.

Screw that. Sometimes when we have a lot of excited energy we just have to exert it by showing our partners that we care. If it’s tasteful and not too excessive, we should do our best to appreciate their effort without reading too much into it.

Caring versus creeping

In movies and TV shows, we see persistency as “romantic” and an even necessary part of courtship. However, asking the same person out over and over again without positive results is creepy as fuck. Don’t be creepy as fuck.

Thank our partner

If our partner does a good job of texting back in a timely manner or always tells us how great we look, we should take time to appreciate their extra effort! Thanking people with our words is always great, but thanking them with a little gift or extra oral can mean a little more.

Want to make sure you’re doing things that make your partner feel good about themselves? Have a gift idea for a special someone you want to make sure won’t put you into the dreaded creeping territory? Ask Alex about it at sex@ dailycardinal.com.

Transportation Department requests new fees, higher taxes in state’s next budget

By Andrew Hahn THE DAILY CARDINAL

COURTESY OF JEFF MILLER

UW-Madison alumni John and Tashia Morgridge donated $100 million for the advancement of endowed faculty positions. The money will be used to match contributions from other donors.

Morgridge family gifts $100 million to support UW faculty UW-Madison alumni John and Tashia Morgridge recently donated $100 million to the university in an effort to support endowed faculty positions, according to a university release.

The donation, which was announced during Saturday’s football game against Nebraska, marks the largest single contribution by a single donor in university history and will go toward funding professorships, chairs and distinguished chairs.

The Morgridges, who are Wauwatosa natives and 1955 UW graduates, set up a oneto-one system that will match

the donation of any outside donor who contributes to these endowed positions.

“This is a very Wisconsin gift and a gift very like the Morgridges – it’s not about them,” UW-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank said in the release. “The names of every one of these endowed chairs will be those of the matching donors, not of the Morgridges.”

The Morgridges’ contribution will be largely significant both to the university and the state, Blank said in the release.

“This extraordinary gift, and the gifts it will inspire, will

shape the UW’s future in ways we cannot even foresee right now,” she said.

Blank pointed out the gift’s potential to have a “ripple” effect by positively affecting graduate research as well as the thousands of students who will learn and work under highlyqualified researchers and academics, according to the release.

Presently, UW-Madison is home to 102 fully endowed professorships and 34 chairs, numbers which could double as a result of the Morgridges’ gift, according to the release.

dining from page 1

Schoonover said the grassfed and locally ground hamburger sold at dining halls is illustrative of the standard UW-Madison facilities can provide. She also pointed to the fact that UW-Madison is one of

the few schools in the country serving high-quality, smoked Hormel bacon.

“We can sell really high quality food because people are willing to pay for good quality,” Schoonover said.

“It changes things a lot in a really positive way,” she said.

“Since we sell items by the each we don’t have those kinds of parameters.”

Wisconsin motorists will see vehicle fees and fuel taxes increase next year if the state grants the Department of Transportation’s budget request, which was announced Friday.

Mark Gottlieb, secretary of the DOT, said in a prefatory letter his request was “ambitious and far reaching,” but said architects of the budget request used input from citizens around the state to craft their proposal.

The request included a 16 percent increase on the gasoline tax and a 32 percent increase on the diesel tax, a measure the department said is necessary to offset the growing efficiency of electric and hybrid cars.

“As fuel efficiency of motor vehicles increases, the Department will collect less motor vehicle fuel tax revenue for the same amount of vehicle miles traveled,” department officials said in the proposal.

The DOT is also asking the state to create a new $50 fee for registration of hybrid or hybrid-electric vehicles.

These vehicles, the proposal authors wrote, inflict just as much damage to the upkeep of Wisconsin’s transportation

network but pay less than their fair share because they use less fuel than other vehicles.

Increases on fees for highway use and motorcycle registration were included in the request. In sum, the plan calls for six new fees and increases to existing fees and taxes.

The Department asked to allocate funds to programs to improve motorists’ experiences at the Department of Motor Vehicles, reducing the number of situations in which one would need to visit the DMV and expanding online services.

Penalties for failing to wear a seatbelt would also increase under the proposal. The DOT cited a government report that found seatbelt compliance in Wisconsin to be at a rate of 85 percent, the 38th highest in the nation. The DOT would raise the fine for failing to secure a child under eight years old from $10 to $25, a measure the DOT says would save 15 lives annually.

The Legislature must pass Wisconsin’s budget for the 2015-’16 biennium in its next term, beginning in January.

Legislators on the Joint Finance Committee, tasked with drafting a budget for the Legislature to vote on, have yet to comment on the request.

Police search for single suspect in Madison Modern Market robbery Police are searching for an armed man accused of robbing State Street’s Madison Modern Market Thursday night, according to a Madison Police Department incident report.

The suspect entered the store on the 300 block of State Street at 6:37 p.m. just before the store’s 7 p.m. closing with a gun and demanded

cash from the register, Public Information Officer Joel DeSpain wrote in the report.

After collecting the money, the suspect fled the scene.

The report described the suspect as a 6-foot-2-inch African American man in his thirties.

Madison Modern Market employees declined to comment on the incident at this time.

UW Police Department reports increase in stadium ejections, underage drinking citations Saturday The UW-Madison Police Department saw a significant increase in the total number of ejections from Camp Randall Stadium at this week’s home game against Nebraska compared to the last home game against Maryland, according to a UWPD report.

This week there were a total of 70 ejections compared to 42 dur-

ing the game against Maryland.

In addition, the matchup against Nebraska resulted in a wider range of ejection reasons not seen at the last game, including possession of drug paraphernalia, throwing hard objects and depositing human waste.

There was also a slight increase in underage drinking

citations, with UWPD issuing 25 citations this weekend compared to 21 at the Maryland game.

UWPD also cited an individual for possession of marijuana.

The highest preliminary breath sample was reported at .278 BAC. The game saw nine paramedic calls, with one conveyance and six people taken to detox.

State Sen. Paul Farrow to leave Wisconsin Senate, run for vacant Waukesha County executive position Wisconsin state Sen. Paul Farrow, R-Pewaukee, announced Thursday he will run in the upcoming election for Waukesha County executive April 7.

The executive position is being vacated after Dan Vrakas, who is in his third term as county executive, announced his retirement Thursday. Vrakas

has been county executive since 2005 and an elected official for over 25 years.

Farrow wished his “great friend” Vrakas well as he continues the next chapter in his life.

“He has been a true advocate for the county and his leadership and commitment will be greatly missed,” Farrow said in

the statement. “I look forward to continuing that tradition if I have the honor to serve as County Executive.”

Farrow currently represents the 33rd Senate District, which includes a large portion of Waukesha County. So far no other candidate has announced for the seat.

Mini Indie Festival brings films to UW AUSTIN WELLENS alls wellens well

O

kay so straight up, the thing I want to talk about is the Mini Indie Film Festival which is happening this weekend, because golly gee is it cool. While I am super biased given that I helped put it together, I also think that the idea of a completely free, student organized and run independent film festival is incredibly cool. So take it as you will. Anyway, here’s the lineup.

Opening on Thursday night is “The One I Love,” starring Mark Duplass and Elisabeth Moss as a couple who set out to get counseling for their marriage and wind up in a bizarre, soft sci-fi situation that I’d rather not spoil for y’all.

But it’s an under-seen and insightful mix of science fiction and real, human drama from the Duplass Brothers’ production company, and you should see it (I’m going to be saying that a lot, sorry).

Starting at 5:30 P.M. Friday we’re showing a program of short films by UW-Madison students, the centerpiece of which is last semester’s Film Workshop capstone production, “Seventeen Blue.” A UW professor called it “one of the best student films I’ve ever seen.” Again, you should see it, and the other great shorts made by your fellow Badgers.

The film I’m most excited about, “Only Lovers Left Alive,” is indie auteur Jim Jarmusch’s newest film,

focusing on Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton as modern day vampires, which is just the coolest idea ever. It’s as flip and deadpan and hilarious as Jarmusch ever is, but it’s also wise and heartfelt and sort of uplifting at points. Plus if you’re attracted to men, Tom Hiddleston is super good looking. and if you’re attracted to women, Tilda Swinton is gorgeous. And if you’re attracted to ideas about love and life and all that stuff, this film has them. Basically if you’re attracted to people, or to good things, you should see it.

“Only Lovers Left Alive” is playing as part of a vampire double feature with our Friday late night screening of “What We Do in the Shadows,” which is hard to talk about because it hasn’t actually been released anywhere yet. But we have it, and what we do know is it’s a mockumentary about old school vampires who get a new, fratty roommate that they have to adjust to, starring, written and directed by the creators of Flight of the Conchords. And we’re showing it for free before it actually plays in theaters.

Saturday we’re showing “Ernest & Celestine,” a French animated film about a bear who becomes friends with a mouse. It’s the most goddamn adorable thing ever, and it was nominated for an Academy Award last year. But seriously it’s so cute and just the trailer made me tear up with how wonderful it looked.

Then we’re showing “Dinsosaur 13,” which is a documentary/scientific soap opera about the discovery of Sue, the

‘Broad City’ stars fail to translate comedy to stage

By Melissa Howison THE DAILY CARDINAL

Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson, two Upright Citizens Brigade alumna and downright unapologetically funny women are owning comedy right now and for good reason. They’re absurd, casually uncut, relatable, confident and auspiciously intriguing.

It is not an overstatement to say I was hooked within 20 minutes, nay, 20 seconds of the pilot episode of Broad City, the Comedy Central feat Glazer and Jacobson co-created, co-star in, and co-produce with Amy Poehler. Yeah.

Their appeal lies in how they balance coping with rejection and assholes while telling the world to fuck off for fun, maintaining hope but refusing to waste time doing so.

The best thing about Broad City is how they react to each other, their banter and their obviously exaggerated idiosyncrasies in concert with one another.

Only when these two are fiercely discussing sex, missing condoms and birthday shellfish does “Hey, it’s 2014, anal’s on the menu,” become a fitting response.

The brilliance of comedy lies in its endurance, and not one episode in Broad City’s entire first season ended without providing at least three memorable lines.

I’m sad I can’t say the same about their live show Thursday Nov. 13 at the Majestic Theater, which lacked luster—luster I’m

well aware both of these talented comedians posses in droves.

They seemed to rely too much on their naturally humorous presence rather than actually delivering the quips on which they’ve built their brand.

For instance, one segment in the middle included ribbon wielding and roller skating that came across more like a gimmicky segue than an actual bit.

In an effort to bring the audience into their fantasy land of pseudo-drama and never-ending gross sex lists rather than offering a peek into it (an admittedly sweet gesture), Glazer and Jacobson lost the exclusivity of their comedic relationship and with it some of the power of their magnetism.

There’s a comment Lincoln (aka Hannibal Buress) makes in episode one of Broad City to an uninterested elderly woman in a park. “They just need to find their audience,” he says about Glazer and Jacobson’s bucket-drum performing.

From the sounds of the crowd Thursday, they have, only I wasn’t as impressed.

It does not mean I won’t still count down the hours until season two premiers.

I just wish the Abbi and Ilana who make legitimately funny observations about the world and who don’t even know how to worry about their palatability had shown up in Madison.

largest Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton ever found, and the intense legal battle that followed between the scientists who found her, Native American tribes and the U.S. Government. We’re co-presenting it with the UW Paleontology Club and the UW Geology Museum, and hot tip on the street is that they’re bringing actual T-Rex fossils to the screening. So yeah, the five year old in me is super excited, because dinosaurs are rad. You should see it, and come see some old-ass bones.

We also have “A Most Wanted Man,” the last film that Philip Seymour Hoffman completed, which follows a Chechen Muslim immigrant to Germany and the web of espionage in which he finds himself entangled. It looks absolutely incredible.

“Locke,” a film that is entirely Tom Hardy, in his car, talking on the phone as his life threatens to unravel around him, is one of the most interesting dramas to come out this year, because again, it’s just Tom Hardy in his car. And it’s supposed to be one of the most gripping films of the year.

Seriously, check it out.

Our other documentary is “The Unknown Known,” which is essentially an extended interview between director (and UW alum) Errol Morris and former Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld. So if you live in/near America (and I’m pretty sure you do) you need to see it, as it sheds a lot of light on the last, say, 40 years or so of our foreign policy and like, why our country works the way it does sometimes.

It’s important.

“Blue Ruin” is a revenge drama that opts for a realistic, ugly and incredibly intense portrayal of vengeance over the fantasy violence of other more typical films. It’s a breathtakingly tense film. You should see it.

“Wetlands” is a disgustingly German sex comedy about a young woman coming of age and dealing with her parents divorce. And God. And her butt. It’s shocking and stunning and the perfect late night film, which is great because that’s when we’re showing it.

“Dusty Stacks of Mom” is an experimental, personal, part animation, part rock opera exploration into the world of posters and postcards, which sounds nuts.

Finally, “God Help the Girl” is a musical about some Scottish kids who decide to start a band, written and directed by Stuart Murdoch from Belle and Sebastian.

Closing the festival is “Listen Up Philip,” a dark comedy about a writer who freaks out over a New York Times review (starring Jason Schwartzman from “Rushmore” and “Scott Pilgrim,” and a particularly fat cat that steals the show).

Basically it’s insanely cool that there’s a completely free, student run film festival on campus, and it represents your only chance to see a lot of these fantastic films in Madison. And again, it’s free so like what do you have to lose?

Plus I’ll be at all of them, so if you hate it you can yell at me after.

RECORD ROUTINE Parkay Quarts showcase new sound on latest effort ALBUM REVIEW

Content Nausea Parkay Courts

By Jake Witz

the similarity between Lou Reed and Savage. Both sound like they recorded their voices while strung out on a dirty sofa.

Savage’s lyrics have also become much more mystic. In the midst of his purposeful rambling in “Content Nausea,” he spouts such phrases as “Overpopulated by nothing, crowded by sparseness, guided by darkness” in an almost ritualistic chanting tone.

THE DAILY CARDINAL

Parquet Courts took the punk scene by storm last year with Light Up Gold, an album that nailed the fundamentals of garage-rock. What separated Parquet Courts from the myriad of other punk bands was the subtle whiff of avantgarde noise that wafted from their headbob-inducing riffs.

Parquet Courts took that sound, massively expanded it and even found a new name for it: Parkay Quarts. The band renamed itself to this, so as to reflect the radical direction their sound is taking. On Content Nausea, Parkay Quarts take their new identity and push it through the walls of classic punk into entirely new territory.

Andrew Savage, the lead singer for Parkay Quarts, swaps out his unrelenting yelling for laidback, crack-free vocals, which teeter on the edge of spoken word. One can’t help but notice

On Content Nausea, Parkay Quarts take their new identity and push it through the walls of classic punk into entirely new territory.

However, the comparison between The Velvet Underground and Parkay Quarts doesn’t stop at the vocals. On the song “Slide Machine,” the slow-tempoed and minimal drums combined with the twangs of a $150 Fender Stratocaster harken back to the heroin-fueled jams that The Velvet Underground produced over forty years ago.

A highlight of the album is the opening track, “Everyday It Starts,” where a clunky, back-and-forth rhythm evolves into a distorted guitar solo that begins to bring

bands like Stereolab and Can to mind. The best parts of Content Nausea occur when Parkay Quarts strike the perfect balance between their avant-garde influences and the inherited energy of their previous identity.

Parkay Quarts also have a plethora of new instruments that make their debut on this album. They attempt to implement whizzing electronic bleeps and drum machines into a band that has only known the classic instruments of rock for the last two years. It’s not the smoothest of changes on the transformative album.

While Parkay Quarts have mastered the sounds coming from their guitars, the avantgarde transitional tracks such as “The Map” sound like the band was just messing around with their new tools, instead of creating a memorable track.

Parkay Quarts have made massive strides in developing their sound. Content Nausea is an accomplishment in how it carried the band into a completely new world of sound.

It’s hard to believe that this is the last stop for Parkay Quarts though. This album demonstrates that they still have room to grow and they’re showing no signs of slowing down.

istory is often very sentimental and objective at the same time. Because of these two views of history, political management and learning from past mistakes is difficult. The Second World War is a perfect example of history affecting current political environments. As devastating and impactful as WWII was, the lessons can still be misinterpreted.

The memories of World War II are often preserved, erased and altered. One example of historical alteration is taking place within Japan.

The Japanese empire’s dominant expansion in the early twentieth century across Asia came with great costs. Its dominance was hardly good willed imperialism with the intention of moving Asian countries towards modernization. One of its most controversial crimes committed during the war is being purposely altered under the regime of Prime Minster Shinzo Abe today. This crime is that of the Japanese use of “comfort women.”

Hillary Clinton famously referred to these women as

‘enforced sex slaves.’ Many women from the conquered areas were subjected to forced sexual slavery for soldiers. Rape of women is no longer an unfamiliar topic during war and invasions.

For example, many German women in Berlin during the Soviet takeover were raped.

According to The New York Times, the formation of brothels in the army was uncontroversial to Japanese tradition at the time.

In 1942, Japan’s Imperial Navy lieutenant paymaster Yasuhiro Nakasone organized a military brothel, or “comfort station” in order to discourage sexual misconduct, gambling and fighting among soldiers. Across Asia, from Vietnam to Burma, women were considered to be the first reward of conquest for soldiers. These atrocious acts were apparently not considered criminal as Mr. Nakasone served as prime minster of Japan from 1982 to 1987.

Under the new regime of Prime minster Abe, these stories are being slowly fabricated. Back in 2007, the cabinet undermined the Kono Statement, a formal apology for the front-line encampments that provided sex for the military made by prime minster Yohei Kono in 1993. The regime

denied the statement for lacking documentary evidence of coercion in the acquisition of women for the military’s comfort stations.

However, there is enough evidence to verify the existence of these houses during the war.

In October, Mr. Abe directed his government to “step up a strategic campaign of international opinion so that Japan can receive a fair appraisal based on matters of objective fact.”

As devastating and impactful as WWII was, the lessons can still be misinterpreted.

The Japanese government even went as far as to send an officer two weeks later to New York to convince former UN special rapporteur on violence against women, Radhika Commaraswamy, to revise her accusation regarding the Japanese army’s violence against women during the war. However she refused to revise her 1996 statement which stated, “the

dailycardinal.com

consistency of the accounts of women from quite different parts of Southeast Asia of the manner in which they were recruited and the clear involvement of the military and government at different levels is indisputable.”

The testimonies of sexual violence by the Japanese soldiers are large in number, from Southeast Asian women to Pacific Islanders to an American nurse. The stories from different people all tell that the Japanese committed war crimes against many women. However, the Japanese government’s attempts to hide these accusations continue to grow as the chief cabinet secretary, Yoshihide Suga, vowed to continue to advocate international bodies to remove the designation of comfort women as sex slaves.

The major reason why the Japanese government is increasingly attempting to hide its violent past is due to the fact that ever since the end of the war, Japan’s goverment has been made largely from participants in the war. They continue to hold on to the power today because they accumulated wealth and high education as elite groups. Because of this, the quest

for the truth has become very difficult. Today, Japanese people are taught history absent of its atrocious past.

There are so many memories that remain hidden. For example, we know Winston Churchill as one of the leaders who saved Europe from the evils of Hitler, but did you know he was also responsible for ordering the genocide on Kurds who resisted British occupation or starving thousands of Indians? History is not there to judge bad or good in extremely segregated fashions, I believe, because it is full of contradictions.

In the case of Japan, it has a long way to go toward a more conscientious decision in coming up with a way to educate its citizens about the past in a more honest fashion.

Despite being good or bad, history remains history. How should we deal with such contradictions?

We shall not judge but think of an answer that is combined of both faults and righteousness and only then should we be able to think of true progress.

Racial dialogues continue to be necessary for progress DAVID RAGLAND Letter To The Editor

I

t’s been 100 days since Darren Wilson killed unarmed young African American Michael Brown and the world is watching and waiting to hear the forgone conclusion of white officer Wilson’s non-indictment.

Many expect a violent reaction from an angry community when there is no indictment.

There is little mainstream coverage of the many groups within the St. Louis region that have begun important conversations, nonviolence trainings and planning to make positive change in their communities.

It is important to understand and challenge violence in all of its forms (direct and structural). While we are all familiar with direct violence, it is just as important to understand structural violence, which includes many forms of injustice ultimately backed by the threat of violence. If you have warehouses of food and our families are starving you need guns to keep us from taking what we need.

Poverty is structural violence.

To get true peace, there must be a long-term commitment to open conversation and structured dialogue that allows all citizens to tell their stories, voice their perspectives and suggest the sorts of structural change that might lead to reconciliation.

Handmaiden to structural violence are media perceptions that characterize and stereo-

type all protestors as violent, even when the vast majority are peacefully working toward productive change. This, in turn, directly feeds the official rhetoric of fear and preparation to suppress community rebellion—preparations that look an awfully lot like staging grounds for war. Media drumbeats of impending war also prompt vigilante preparations that exacerbate racial divides and promote even greater structural violence.

This militarization creates a dynamic of fear, which often has a self fulfilling prophesy of creating a powder keg ready to explode at any sign of the expression of frustration. A massive and intimidating show of violent threat by the state against its own people can produce exactly what it supposedly deters. Police become troops, urban soldiers on hair-trigger, and democratic dissent is targeted for possible annihilation.

What would lead to a sense of calm--such as deep and prolonged conversation, listening and positive action--is not on that official table.

The messages being communicated to the broader community include, “take precautions in the event that the Grand Jury’s findings results in civil unrest.” Washington University reassured its community members that “we are taking every possible precaution to be prepared” (Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton).

One employee of an upscale steakhouse described how employees practice an evacuation plan in case “something happens.” A resident of Canfield Green, the complex where Michael Brown lived and died, said men came

to his door recently and asked him if he had an escape plan for after the indictment outcome.

According to Clayton Police Chief Kevin Murphy “We have sent out cards to over 200 businesses to let them know how they can prepare for emergencies in the short term.” In addition, police officials seemed to have encouraged employers, schools, and a myriad of local institutions to board their windows and even close.

Handmaiden to structural violence are media perceptions that characterize and stereotype all protestors as violent, even when the vast majority are peacefully working toward productive change.

This preparation for ‘violence and civil unrest’ has the opposite effect of its stated intentions, and instead creates a presupposition that protesters will be violent, reinforcing anti-protestor sentiment and racial stereotypes of young angry irrational black protestors and outside agitators. Our own experience with the protest illustrates how the tenor changes from lively chants to more anger when police get in formation with riot gear.

The fears of protestors seem absurd when the actions of those (police) who are actually preparing for violence are the actual cause for demonstrations. While Gov Nixon touts his desire for peace, officials’ actions as one Ferguson resident describes it, amount to preparation for war.

So in this frenzy, there seems to be justification of the increased police militarization in the St. Louis region and across the country, as well as the spillover into the community, where guns, ammunition and firing range purchases have increased significantly. In reality, the reliance on weapons to solve conflict-- evidenced by laws that encourage gun ownership and use, like ‘stand your ground’--does not deter violence; it only encourages vigilantism. On October 27th, gun enthusiasts marched through downtown St. Louis openly carrying multiple firearms, without any interference from police, while unarmed protestors are routinely harassed by police in riot gear.

Some public officials are attempting to deal with the structural issues surrounding police brutality and its underlying conditions, but overall we witness more stockpiled weapons, leaked grand jury information, and violated rights to protest.

This militarization creates a dynamic of fear, which often has a self fufilling prophecy of creating a powder keg ready to explode at any sign of the expression of frustration.

Martin Luther King described this sort of “negative peace”:…So long as the Negro maintained this subservient attitude and accepted the place assigned to him, a sort of racial peace existed. But it was an uneasy peace in which the Negro was forced patiently to

submit to insult, injustice and exploitation. It was a negative peace. True peace is not merely the absence of some negative force-tension, confusion or war; it is the presence of some positive force- justice, good will and brotherhood.

Instead of focusing on dialogue and reconciliation, the police and the Nixon and the Mayor of Ferguson have attempted to maintain control, which leads to more resentment.

To get to true peace, there must be a long-term commitment to open conversation and structured dialogue that allows all citizens to tell their stories, voice their perspectives and suggest the sorts of structural change that might lead to reconciliation.

Some of this is occurring.

The Center for Educational Equity with the Peace and Justice Studies Association will be holding dialogues and convening a truth-telling process, calling on victims of police violence from Ferguson, the surrounding areas, and across the nation to come to St. Louis and speak truth about this brutalization and what they believe are the root causes.

Only when voices from the ground, not just government sponsored programs, are heard and experiences validated is healing possible. Truth-telling that leads to reconciliation and peace is not some week or month-long event, but a sustained community process based on a human dignity and rights framework, which requires a real commitment to listening.

UW scores 16 goals in sweep

By Lorin Cox THE DAILY CARDINAL

There’s no such thing as too much offense. The No. 3 Badgers wanted to come out firing against Minnesota State, and the points just kept coming.

Coach Mark Johnson’s squad set a Wisconsin record with 32 shots on goal in the first period on Thursday. Mankato’s junior goaltender Erin Krichiver could only do so much, allowing three goals in the opening stanza.

MSU would get one of their own, but Wisconsin (9-2-10 WCHA, 11-2-1 overall) had already opened the floodgates, and the shotskept puring out.

The Badgers finished with 116 shots, 67 on goal, in their 8-2 victory over the Mavericks.

Freshman forward Annie

Pankowski racked up the first UW hat trick since December 2013, with one goal in the second period and two in the third to put the game away.

“From the last weekend at North Dakota, it was definitely brewing,” Pankowski said.

“There was a little frustration so it was nice to finally put one in from a teammate and then just kind of get the ball rolling.”

That performance, along with another goal and assist Friday, put Pankowski at 18 points on the season, one behind teammate Karley Sylvester, a senior forward, for the most in the WCHA. The series wasn’t about individual performances, though. Ten different Badgers scored goals over the two games, giving the team a nearly unstoppable level of

Sixty-four shots on goal defined an unstoppable offense, including Katarina Zgraja scoring her first goal of the season.

offensive balance. Two defenders, freshman Lauren Williams and senior Katarina Zgraja, scored their first goals of the season.

“When you have multiple people scoring, you just become more difficult to play against,” head coach Mark Johnson said. “If 1, 2, 3 players don’t score on a particular night, you might have 4, 5, and 6 jumping in. If you can have balanced scoring, it bodes well because somebody’s not going to be able to score every night.”

That was the formula for success Friday, as the Badgers won 8-0. Minnesota State stepped it up early in the first period, holding Wisconsin to just 11 shots on goal and getting close to UW’s net, but they could only hold on so long.

Two early second-period power plays resulted in two Badger goals, and from that point, there was no stopping them. UW went on to score six goals in the period from six different sticks, and the Mavericks had no answers on defense.

Sophomore forward Sydney McKibbon scored two of the Badgers’ eight goals in the shutout victory, and she knows the value of the team’s balanced scoring.

“It’s a huge asset for our team when we’ve got 3 or 4 lines that can put the puck in the net,” she said. “When new people are scoring and everyone’s clicking, we get more team confidence and it can roll into next weekend against St. Cloud.”

Wisconsin hopes to do just that as they head back on the road to take on the Huskies next weekend.

It was pretty much a perfect weekend for UW

• Football wins 59-24 over Nebraska • Men’s Basketball wins 62-31 over Northern Kentucky and 89-45 over Chattanooga • Women’s Basketball wins 71-60 over Illinois State • Women’s Soccer wins 2-0 over DePaul in NCAA Tournament • Volleyball sweeps Iowa 25-21, 21-13, 25-18 • Women’s Hockey sweeps Minnesota State, with a combined score of 16-2 • Wrestling wins 28-12 over Maryland • Men’s Cross Country places 1st, Women’s places 2nd in NCAA Great Lakes Regional, both advance to Finals banners from page 8 front of a Kohl Center crowd still recovering from Melvin Gordon.

Dekker led all scorers with 18 points on 7-10 shooting from the field and senior guard Traevon Jackson added 16 points for UW. Kaminsky and Hayes each scored 15 points and recorded double-doubles, finishing with 10 and 13 rebounds respectively.

Sophomore forward Vitto Brown also chipped in six points and a career-high nine rebounds off the bench.

“I thought our guys stayed really solid,” said Wisconsin head coach Bo Ryan. “We had three turnovers there in the last couple minutes which we shouldn’t have had, but other than that, for about 36, 37 minutes, I thought we did a real good job of getting good looks that we wanted.”

The Badgers forced the Mocs

to abandon their usual up-tempo playing style. Chattanooga head coach Will Wade, formerly an assistant at VCU under Shaka Smart, likes to employ a system that he calls “Chaos,” which places an emphasis on full-court pressure, points off turnovers, fast-break points, three-point shooting and offensive rebounds.

However, Wade explained that the Mocs had to deviate from their usual game plan against Wisconsin.

“You can’t run [the Chaos system] against Wisconsin. They would’ve scored 130 points on us if we’d have run it against them,” Wade said. “They’re just good athletes. They just drove right around us a couple of times.”

Chattanooga scored just two points off of UW’s nine turnovers and finished with no fastbreak points. The Mocs were also held to just three points on

three offensive rebounds.

The Badgers were especially dominant in the first half, hitting 12 of their first 17 shots and building a 52-21 lead by halftime.

This was against a team that dropped 110 points on Hiwassee College in its previous game.

It was a day of firsts for Hayes, who recorded his first career double-double and made the first three-pointer of his collegiate career. His 13 rebounds were also a career high.

“I was really impressed with Nigel Hayes,” Wade said. “I know Dekker and Kaminsky and those guys get a lot of the press, but Hayes, man, that’s a ballplayer.”

The Badgers will look to follow up their impressive weekend against a dangerous Green Bay team led by senior guard Keifer Sykes who scored 32 points against them last season.

Wisconsin takes 15th straight win in Iowa City

By Sam Karp THE DAILY CARDINAL

The No. 4 Badgers (14-1 Big Ten, 24-2) extended their winning streak to 15 this week with a road win at Iowa. The match was never really close, as the Badgers beat the Hawkeyes in three straight sets: 25-21, 25-13, 25-18.

The Badgers serving game led the way for the night, as they recorded a season-high nine serving aces. Freshman outside hitter Kelli Bates, sophomore middle blocker Haleigh Nelson, junior defensive specialist Taylor Morey and senior defensive specialist Kt Kvas each had two aces for the Badgers.

Wisconsin continued their recent offensive and defensive dominance in their matchup with the Hawkeyes.

The Badgers executed their offensive game plan like clockwork, recording 44 kills to the Hawkeyes’ 39 and a .319 hitting percentage to their .191.

As they have been doing during all of Big Ten play, the Badgers dominated their opponent through blocks. Wisconsin

With 27 minutes to play, Reed took a shot from point blank range in the box that Richard knocked down right in front of her, preventing any rebound chances.

DePaul earned another chance just two minutes later when Reed received a pass in the box, setting her up for a one-on-one breakaway. Reed attempted to find the lower left side of the net, but Richard was able to make the save with her leg. “[Richard] came up huge I thought. If one of those goes in, its a different game,” said DePaul head coach Erin Chastain. “A couple of those chances were very early in the game, I think it would have set maybe a different tone. There’s a reason she was the Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year.”

The Blue Demons had one more great chance in the first half when Reed took a pass into the box and beat the Wisconsin defense, opening up another one -on-one with Richard. Richard again denied Reed with a diving save, knocking the ball away from the goal with her left hand.

Another stellar effort gave Richard her 16th shutout of the

Nelson added to her impressive serving performance by leading the team in blocks with five.

Even though the Badgers ended up sweeping Iowa, the first set gave the sense that there was going to be more of a battle ahead for UW. Iowa stormed out of the gates in the first set to take a 14-11 lead over Wisconsin. However, the Badgers’ balanced offense guided them through, as three different hitters tallied four kills in a 6-0 run that gave the Badgers a 17-14 lead.

Iowa tied the set up again at 20 apiece before back-to-back kills by Bates and Nelson gave Wisconsin a 22-20 lead. Once the Badgers got the lead, they never gave it back, winning the first set 25-21.

After that, Iowa never really put up a fight, losing the next two sets 25-13 and 25-18 respectively.

Next up for Wisconsin is No. 12 Illinois, who comes to the UW Field House this Wednesday.

“I’m just glad I did my job,” Richard had to say.

After scoring two first half goals, the Wisconsin attack backed off in the second half and played a more conservative game.

The Badger’s defense was smothering, holding the Blue Demons to just one shot on goal in the second half. DePaul never had a great scoring chance in the second half. Wilkins was pleased with the team’s overall effort.

“We knew we were going to be faced with some challenges they brought and it was well-proven in this game. I think with the conditions and their spirit it was a well fought game,” Wilkins said.

“Huge respect to them. I’m just excited that we’re going to keep dancing with this group.”

The Badgers earned the right to leave the frigid cold and will travel to Tallahassee, Florida next week.

They will take on Central Florida (17-4-0) November 21 at 3:30 p.m.

“I think the players are excited to be in a little warmer climate.

It will be a good thing,” Wilkins said. “It’s definitely not going to be a vacation for us. They’re going to be focused and they have some goals in mind. It’s going to be very exciting.”

SHOIAB ALTAF/THE DAILY CARDINAL

gordon from page 1 netted just 18 yards and a fumble

by Gordon gave Nebraska the ball in Wisconsin territory on its first, second and fourth drives of the game.

Nebraska (4-2 Big Ten, 8-2) led 17-3 at the beginning of the second quarter after quarterback Tommy Armstrong rushed for a 5-yard touchdown, but Gordon answered right back with an electrifying 62-yard rushing touchdown of his own on the subsequent drive.

From that point forward, the Badgers scored 56 unanswered points and clamped down on defense. UW recovered four fumbles, had an interception and held Nebraska, who came in averaging 490.6 yards per game, to just 180 yards of total offense. Highly touted running back Ameer Abdullah managed just 69 yards on 18 carries, and Armstrong struggled to 36 rushing yards on 20 attempts.

Wisconsin was able to contain the Cornhuskers by studying the intricacies of Nebraska’s read-

option, a staple of their offense, according to redshirt sophomore Vince Biegel.

“Lot of film study,” Biegel said of the preparation for Nebraska’s scheme. “A lot of those reading of the heels of the tackles, a lot of where their eyes are looking. Something you guys can’t necessarily see, but something that me and (linebacker) Joe Schobert, other outside linebackers, we pick up on and that is kind of the difference for us to go out there and make those keys.”

The dominant linebacker corps of Biegel, Schobert and Marcus Trotter combined for 6.5 tackles for a loss, and both Schobert and Trotter recovered a fumble.

Wisconsin’s complete team effort puts it in good position to make a push for a spot in the Big Ten championship Dec. 6 in Indianapolis. The Badgers take on divisional foes Iowa and Minnesota in the final games of its schedule.

Gordon recognized the importance of the win moving forward, stressing its precedence over his historic day in his mind.

“This game meant a lot,” Gordon said. “Forget about the statistics. I knew if we lost this game, it would be tough for us to get in the Big Ten championship.

It was pretty much the end of the road for us. These last few games are very important.

“So—during the week, you know with the teammates, we always stress these last three games, it’s on us. It decides our fate. So this game was so important. And to come out here and play the way we did, it’s a great feeling. We just got to keep it going.”

Wisconsin advances in NCAA tournament

By Bobby Ehrlich THE DAILY CARDINAL

A steady snow Saturday night in Madison led to an interesting night of soccer for the No. 9 Badgers. Even veteran head coach Paula Wilkins said she had never seen anything similar.

“I had games where it had snowed but they cleared the field and it stopped snowing,” Wilkins said. “It was the first time that it was a constant snow throughout the game and a good maybe a little less than an inch on the field. I had never had that before.”

Yet, the weather did not slow

down Wisconsin as they rolled to a 2-0 win over DePaul to advance to the second round of the NCAA tournament. The Badgers notched two first half goals, both from senior Cara Walls.

The first goal came with 32 minutes left in the half on a cross from junior Kinley McNicoll, who dribbled up the left side of the snowcovered field and sent a beautiful pass to Walls. With several defenders around her, Walls leaped and headed the ball past the DePaul keeper Alejandria Godinez to put the Badgers on top.

Eight minutes later, redshirt

senior Kodee Williams worked her way to the left side of the box and sent a pass to Walls, who slid and kicked it over the keeper’s head.

“I honestly thought the conditions weren’t that bad. Obviously, they weren’t ideal but I honestly thought they were going to be a lot worse,” Walls said.

DePaul’s high powered attack was a difficult matchup for the Wisconsin defense. The Blue Demons leading goal scorer, Abby Reed, had three great chances in the first half, all of which were EMILY BUCK/THE DAILY CARDINAL

Badgers raise banner, dominate openers

By Jack Baer and Zach Rastall THE DAILY CARDINAL

NITHIN CHARLLY/THE DAILY CARDINAL

As the final prize from last season was lifted into the rafters, another season with even greater expectations began.

The No. 3 Badgers (2-0) did exactly what they were supposed to on college basketball’s opening weekend: receive their Final Four rings and dominate lesser opponents. Head coach Bo Ryan’s squad began their 2014-’15 campaign with a 62-31 trouncing of Northern Kentucky (0-1) Friday and followed it up with an 89-45 dismantling of Chattanooga (1-1) Sunday afternoon.

Friday night began with the raising of the team’s 2014 Final Four banner, with graduated players Zach Bohannon and Evan Anderson participating.

Ben Brust, playing overseas, was there in video form.

From there, the juggernaut that this season’s team is projected to be slowly awakened.

The Norse finished 14-of-

53 from the field and spent all night settling for long and oftencontested twos. The Badgers were relentlessly disciplined on defense; Northern Kentucky didn’t make a free throw until the final minute of the game.

“I think we think we did really well defensively,” redshirt senior forward Frank Kaminsky said after the game. “We had a little slip-up at the end, we wanted to hold them to under 30, but it’s a good start and hopefully we can build on that.”

On offense, the Badgers’ two All-American candidates showed their firepower. Kaminsky led all scorers with 16 points on 7-of-12 shooting, while throwing in 11 rebounds and four assists, all of which led the team. Junior forward Sam Dekker chipped in 15 points and showed versatility on offense.

It was really the entire frontcourt that seemed to drive the Badgers, as they registered 44 of the

team’s 62 points. Sophomores Nigel Hayes and Vitto Brown combined for 13 points and 14 rebounds. It was Hayes’ first game as a starter and Brown’s first as a member of the regular rotation.

From the looks of both games, we’re going to be seeing many more three-forward lineups from Bo Ryan, as the coach kept only two guards on the floor at most times. Overall though, it shouldn’t change what the Badgers try to do.

“We had all kinds of combinations out there, so I don’t get hung up on the combinations,” Ryan said. “With all the reps we have in practice, most players know two positions, some players know three positions. It’s not any big deal during the course of the game.”

Sunday afternoon, the Badgers cruised to an 89-45 victory in
