Occupy UW responds to protester’s injury

By Alex DiTullio The Daily Cardinal

Nearly 35 Occupy UW members held a teach-in in the Humanities Building Wednesday to discuss issues facing the nation including police brutality, student debt, educational inequality and economic disparity.

A major issue participants discussed was student debt, which they said is at an all time high.

Katie Zaman, a UW graduate student and member of the Teaching Assistants’ Association, said the rising cost of public education is the main reason student debt is currently increasing and now exceeds credit card debt in the United States.

“Tuition is going crazy,” Zaman said. “The solution is give people more aid so they can pay for it .... You don’t really notice what’s happening until you’ve graduated and you’re $100,000 in debt.”

Associated Students of Madison Representative Justin Bloesch said he believes this unequal access to education will further increase the financial divide between the rich and poor, which the

national ‘Occupy’ movement formed to address.

The group called the meeting in response to the injuries Wisconsin native and Marine Corps veteran Scott Olsen sustained last week during an Occupy Oakland protest in California. While protesting, a projectile thrown or shot by Oakland police struck Olsen in the head.

“Today is a national day of action in solidarity with Oakland and in particular with the victims of police brutality against the occupy movement in Oakland,” group member Elizabeth WrigleyField said.

Participants held up letters spelling out, “Solidarity with Oakland” and “Solidarity with Scott Olsen.” They took pictures of the signs and plan to send them to protesters in Oakland.

Wrigley-Field said police violence is not going to sway occupiers.

“It was supposed to terrorize us so that we would stop protesting,” Wrigley-Field said.

“But actually in every city where the occupy movement has come under attack … our movement has come back stronger.”

ASM leaders return to seats Council appoints removed members

Occupy UW members took pictures at a teach-in Tuesday of signs to send to ‘Occupy Oakland’ protesters in California.

After being selected by the Nominations Board, two chairs of student council who had been removed from their seats resumed their positions Wednesday.

Nominations Board Chair Niko Magallon and Associated Students of Madison Vice Chair Beth Huang were removed from their positions in September after the Student Judiciary ruled they failed to complete required service hours on time.

Nominations Board member Zach DeQuattro said the com-

mittee decided to nominate Huang and Magallon nearly unanimously after almost four hours of deliberation.

“These are great candidates, and with all due respect, it was not an easy decision,” DeQuattro said.

“I think it’s important to fill this council so we can move forward in order to make any decision.”

Some opponents of returning the members to council said they resisted appointing Magallon and Huang because of their previous interactions with ASM. “It reflects poorly on ASM in general that one coequal body removes them and then the other puts them back,”

I don’t want anyone walking away from here saying the bill prohibits the teaching of birth control. State sen. mary lazich, R-New Berlin, Author of Senate Bill 237 Abstinence education bill passes Senate along party lines, goes to Assembly

By Tyler Nickerson The Daily Cardinal

The state Senate passed a bill along party lines Wednesday that gives school districts the ability to teach abstinence-based sex education programs.

The bill now moves to the state Assembly.

While Senate Bill 237 does not

force school districts to adopt any specific curriculum, it does give them the authority to take an abstinence-only approach to education. This effectively repeals former Gov. Jim Doyle’s 2009 Healthy Youth Act that required schools with sex education programs to teach about safe sex practices.

Mary Lazich, R-New Berlin, who authored the bill, said because sex education is a sensitive topic, local school districts should have the authority to decide their own programs.

“This is small government at its best,” Lazich said.

But Democratic senators cited the success comprehensive sex

education has had, particularly in Milwaukee County, which has seen a significant drop in teen pregnancies since the Healthy Youth Act. Sen. Glenn Grothman, R-West Bend, said the drop in teen pregnancy in Milwaukee happened

Student and city leaders criticized the impact a new bill would have on tenant and landlord relations Wednesday.

Senate Bill 107, which passed in the state Assembly Tuesday, prohibits Wisconsin cities from placing certain restrictions on landlords and standardizes Wisconsin housing laws, according to bill author state Sen. Frank Lasee, R-De Pere.

“This bill creates a statewide standard that lets property owners screen problem tenants when renting to them—those that don’t pay their bills, that have criminal records or are harmful to their neighbors,” Lasee said in a statement.

However, according to Ald. Scott Resnick, District 8, the bill interjects on policies Madison’s Common Council developed to protect citizens actively from predatory landlord practices.

“For the past 25 years we’ve had a positive relationship in between tenants and landlords,” Resnick said. “To have the state now interject I think is wrong and very unfair for tenants, particularly students.”

The Associated Students of Madison said in a release the bill “will not only eliminate local sanctions put in place to protect student renters, but it will effectively prohibit the creation of new ordinances that may counteract its effects.”

According to Resnick, there is a movement requesting landlords and property managers to continue to comply voluntarily with the same practices to maintain good tenant-landlord relationships.

“Not only is this a direct violation of tenants’ assumed rights, but it is an abuse of power and one students will not stand for,” ASM Legislative Affairs Chair Hannah Somers said in a statement.

Senate Bill 107 will do away with:

24-hour notice

before showing an apartment

One month’s rent limit on security deposit

Itemized list

requirement before landlords make deductions from the security deposit

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

Senate session preview A bill that would give property owners legal backing to defend themselves from intruders with lethal weapons passed the state Assembly Tuesday and will be debated Thursday in the Senate.

Under the “Castle Doctrine” legislation, courts would rule in favor of property owners in cases where they use deadly force against intruders.

Senators will also discuss a bill that would move the primary in Wisconsin from September to the second week of

August, which passed the state Assembly Tuesday and will be debated on the Senate floor Thursday.

The bill will make Wisconsin comply with a federal law that says absentee ballots have to be sent to military personnel within 45 days of the primary.

The amended version of the bill currently allows only military personnel and overseas citizens to receive absentee ballots electronically.

Redistricting bill unlikely to move forward A bill that would move the date new legislative districts would apply to recall elections up a year is effectively dead.

The bill, introduced by state Sen. Mary Lazich, R-New Berlin, would have moved the date the new district lines would apply to recall elections up from November 2012 to next week.

The amendment is in response to the Government Accountability Board’s interpretation that special recall elections taking place before the 2012 date would be conducted in old districts.

With state Sen. Dale Schultz, R-Richland

Center, planning to vote against the bill, senate Republicans would not have the 17-vote majority they would need to pass it.

The committee meeting that would have decided the bills future was canceled Wednesday because Lazich wanted to hold a Republican caucus beforehand.

Thursday is the last day the state Senate will be in session for the rest of the year.

Because the bill will not be discussed during the session it is unfeasible for it to become law by the date the bill calls for redistricting for elections to go into effect.

Bars to stay open one extra hour Madison bars can stay open one hour later when the clocks turn back for the end of daylight saving time Sunday morning.

Although Wisconsin statutes allow bars to remain open from 6 a.m. to 2:30 a.m., clocks turn back one hour from 2 a.m. to 1 a.m. Sunday, extending Sunday by one hour.

Dane County Sheriff Elise Schaffer told The Capital Times although bars can stay open an hour later, there are currently no plans for extra officers to patrol the roads.

In the spring when daylight saving time begins, Wisconsin law permits bars to remain open until 3:30 a.m. so they do not miss an hour of business.

State Sen. Mary Lazich, R-New Berlin, supported a bill that would allow schools to implement abstinence-based sex education programs.

abstinence from page 1 before the implementation of the 2009 Healthy Youth Act and said it was likely caused by members of the clergy and parents’ request for abstinenceonly education.

“I don’t want anyone walking away from here saying the bill prohibits the teaching of birth control because that is flat out wrong,” Lazich said.

State Sen. Fred Risser, D-Madison, said supporters of the bill do not understand today’s sexually proficient youth

culture. By allowing schools to take an abstinence-only approach to sex education, Risser said teachers will not need to not tell the truth.

“How foolish can you get?” Risser said. “How can you stop these teen pregnancies without teaching them how to not get pregnant?”

State Sen. Jon Erpenbach, D-Middleton, said the legislation is a “mega-step backwards.”

“This is such a 19th century piece of legislation,” Erpenbach said. “It’s embarrassing.”

Law student helps man out of apartment fire

The proposed apartment complexes, located on West Johnson and West Dayton Streets near the DoubleTree Hotel, could replace current housing on the block.

Developers propose new apartments for downtown

By David Jones The Daily Cardinal

Developers introduced a downtown redevelopment plan Wednesday that could replace several residential buildings downtown with a 12-story structure on West Johnson Street and a three-story complex on West Dayton Street.

The buildings would replace current housing on the block enclosed by West Johnson, West Dayton, North Basset and Marion Streets.

The proposed buildings represent a way for planners to achieve increased housing densities and to expand downtown housing for students in particular, according to Randy Bruce of Knothe & Bruce Architects.

The 12-story building would

offer 155 units, while the three-story building would offer 42 units.

According to the proposal, each new apartment building would provide residents a variety of units and space for bicycle, moped and automobile parking, as well as a common courtyard.

Bruce said the proposal was part of the first planning stage of a larger Planned Unit Development for the downtown area.

According to developers, there are two phases of the plan.

First is the current “general plan,” where developers seek approval for the overall project from the city.

Once approved, the second phase will come into effect, meaning developers will unleash more intimate details about the complexes, such as exact dimen-

sions and design.

Some affected parties, including the DoubleTree Hotel, raised concerns about how the size of the buildings and their proposed locations may affect their downtown views and access to sunlight.

Concerns over balconies on the complex were also raised because affected parties fear residents will throw items off the balconies and generate excess noise.

“I can tell you right now, you probably will not get our support if you put balconies on [the 12-story building],” general manager of the DoubleTree Hotel Tom Zarnick said.

If the project remains on schedule and gains approval from city officials, construction is set to begin this summer.

When an apartment fire broke out on the 2600 block of Pheasant Ridge Trail Sunday night, second-year law student Rocco DeFilippis came to the rescue, UW news reported Wednesday.

Fire officials said the apartment’s resident was asleep while the stove was on just before 6 p.m.

Hearing there were children in the apartment, DeFilippis acted to ensure no one was hurt.

“What was going through my head was ‘We have to get those kids out,’” DeFilippis told

UW News. “After I smashed the door and helped the man out, another tenant and I did a quick sweep of the bedrooms to make sure the unit was clear.”

No children were in the unit. Firefighters treated the resident and put out the fire in five minutes.

According to DeFilippis, what he did was not unusual for UW-Madison because the community is concerned with the well-being of its people.

“Property can be replaced, but life is sacred,” DeFilippis told UW News.

educating UW-Madison about Chicano/a and Mexicano/a culture, cited two incidents where they felt they were victims of racial profiling and intimidation by UWPD. Gardner said she supported MEChA and appreciated communication between MEChA, UWPD and the administration.

“It is my belief that no student should feel unsafe, out of place or at fault due to UWPD presence at the office or space of their student organization,” Gardner said. “I think that when you’re looking at a student organization that serves a marginalized demographic and students on campus, you can’t discount it.”

While ASM’s internal budget was on the agenda for Wednesday’s meeting, the council decided to delay making a final decision to allow further discussion.

ASM Representative Andrew Bulovsky said.

ASM Representative Olivia Wick-Bander said the board appointed Huang and Magallon because of their background in ASM. “I picked previous people who have had experience with ASM because we are in the middle of a session,” Wick-Bander said. “I decided that I could not compromise my choice in the best candidates because of the message it was sending.”

Also at the meeting, ASM Chair Allie Gardner read a letter from members of a multicultural student group saying they felt harassed by the UW Police Department.

n my post-Halloween Facebook creep spree, I encountered pictures of a high school girl wearing next to nothing. Now, I understand that Madison’s Halloween is a battle between boobs and hypothermia. What was unsettling about these pictures was that she and her husband were holding their baby in the pictures. Now, I hate babies in general because they suck at everything. They somehow manage to simultaneously be less athletic than Adele, uglier than the whole Osborne family, and stupider than President Bush. Second of all, high school parents are a terrifying concept.

My point is that analyzing based on appearance is one of the most helpful tools humans can employ.

The truth will not set you free; in some cases it’ll get you locked up.

“Honesty is the best policy.”

There are many variations to this one. Ironically, Christians tend to be the ones who really support this senseless piece of advice.

White lies are the backbone of

every relationship. Seeing Kim Kardashian’s marriage fail makes me think her lying abilities must stop at faking orgasms in sex tapes. There are things you simply cannot be honest about, like telling your TA you can’t understand a word he says or your girlfriend you fantasize about Zooey Des chanel. The truth will not set you free; in some cases it’ll get you locked up. That last sentence came from OJ Simpson’s book.

So I guess my point is that some things we accept as kids simply aren’t true. You sometimes have to judge based on appearance, tell a white lie, and learn something new. And unless you are going to breastfeed your kid until he’s 18 then please, teen moms, put those breastesis back in the trashy nurse costume.

How to successfully sexify the ol’ condom

She got me thinking about the messages parents send their kids. I think the most important thing parents can do is teach their kids what is right and what is wrong. My understanding of right and wrong comes partly from Christianity being shoved down my throat since birth but mostly from “Hey Arnold,” “Doug” and “Pepper Anne” (don’t hate).

And most of the lessons and virtues the shows taught me were great. However, there are some widely accepted lessons that are like padded bras—misleading and disappointing.

“Don’t judge a book by its cover.” This idiom was probably started by ugly people. Judging things based on appearance is one of the most important human skills, not to mention the driving force behind evolution. No one reads the Bible simply because the cover is fucking boring.

Herman Cain will undoubtedly be president simply because he

Erica andrist sex columnist Dear Erica, My boyfriend and I use condoms when we have sex and I’m sorry, but we hate them. I can’t stand interrupting everything to put the condom on, and both of us prefer the feeling of sex without a condom, but we are concerned about STDs and so we keep using them… How do we figure out how to make condoms less of a hassle?

—T.M. Why not lose the condom, T.M.? Before I lose all of my sexual health cred, it’s true that condoms are a fantastic way to protect oneself from pregnancy and/or sexually transmitted infections (STIs) if one does not currently desire those things. But condoms are not the only sexual health safeguard out there.

Have you both been tested for STIs? How recently?

Have you been vaccinated for things like HPV and hepatitis? Do you only have sex with each other, or are you fluid-bonded (having barrier-less sex only with each other)? If contraception is a consideration, then what non-condom options do you feel comfortable using (e.g. birth control pills, an IUD, NuvaRing, the shot, the patch, etc)?

There are (minimizable) risks of going condom-less, but there are risks of continuing to force yourselves to use a barrier method you really dislike— sooner or later, because you had one drink too many, or you

forgot to restock, or you just can’t stand it anymore, your chances of throwing caution to the wind are probably pretty high. Explore your options now so you can ditch the condoms without ditching any care or concern for your sexual health.

If you decide condoms are the best option despite their shortcomings, there are ways you can sexify a rubber, too. Keep condoms within arm’s reach of your bed (or any place you get down with relative frequency). Take one out of the drawer in advance if things are likely to get sexy (or may possibly get sexy, like you’re just going to “take a cuddle break” or “lie down and watch a movie”).

When you need the condom, incorporate it smoothly into the action. Put it on for your partner, adding some manual stimulation along the way.

Double bonus points if you put it on with your mouth. Open the condom and unroll it over your thumbs a bit to ensure you’re putting it on the right way and to get the unrolling process started.

Look into his eyes while you put it in your mouth. Keep it in front of your teeth, and stick your tongue into the nubbin at the top.

This will make sure no air gets in the tip, and will also allow you to use your tongue to anchor it at the head of the penis. Slide down the shaft with your mouth, keeping your teeth covered with your lips and keeping the tip in place with your tongue.

Once you get a little ways down the shaft, you can let go with your tongue at the top and use your lips to unroll it all the way down to the base. If you don’t get it quite to the base, he probably won’t mind a little hand job action—I mean, a little readjustment with your hands.

Make sure the condom is the correct size. A too-snug condom can be difficult to get into and uncomfortable to stay inside; a too-loose condom can create unpleasant friction and textures.

Try putting a drop of lube in the condom to create a nice wet sensation inside, even if the condom is already lubricated.

Any non-oil-based lube is okay to use with latex. Adding more lube to the outside never hurts, either. Experiment with ribbed, studded or ultra-thin styles to vary and/or enhance sensation for both partners.

Finally, consider switching to a receptive condom. I wrote this column assuming T.M. is referring to the more commonly used insertive condom (condoms

worn over a penis or sex toy), and if that’s the case, consider another barrier method. Receptive condoms (AKA female condoms) can be inserted into a vagina or anus up to eight hours before sex, eliminating the need to put on a condom in the moment.

A contraceptive/barrier is only effective if you use it. If your method is so inconvenient it may interfere with your use of it, then it’s time to rethink either your method or the way you think about it. Condom or no condom, best of luck.

November 5, 2011 Camp Randall Stadium

A SIGHT FOR SORE EYES

Mark Kauzlarich/cardinal file photo

After a disappointing two-game road swing, the Badgers gladly return to the friendly confines of Camp Randall Stadium to face Purdue.

W

hen the Wisconsin Badgers take the field at Camp Randall this Saturday to face Purdue, they will

have more two more losses on their record than the last time they played in front of their home fans. Such is life in the Big Ten, where difficult road games can quickly turn a team’s promising season into something gone terribly wrong.

Story by Adam Tupitza Since Bret Bielema became the head coach at Wisconsin, there has never been a season where the Badgers didn’t lose at least one Big Ten road game.

As it turns out, even the addition of talented quarterback Russell Wilson could not end that trend.

Badger fans can take some solace in the fact that Wisconsin never gave up in either loss, as Wilson orchestrated two furious fourth-quarter comebacks to give the Badgers a chance to win both games. But two unbelievable deep passes by the opponents left Wisconsin with two losses and a whole lot of head scratching.

If the Badgers can play the rest of the season with the

“never give up” mentality they showed in the fourth quarter of those road games, they will still have a chance to have a special season. Though they do not control their destiny, the Badgers could still find themselves playing in the Big Ten Championship if they win all four of their remaining games.

“In the world of college football, anything can happen,” sophomore tight end Jacob Pedersen said. “We need a little help, but we just need to take it one game at a time.”

Before the Badgers can even begin to think about heading to Indianapolis to represent the Leaders Division, they must fix the problems that plagued them in the two losses. In all

three facets of football, there were glaring issues that the Badgers are likely addressing in practice this week.

Though the special teams units rarely receive credit for doing their job well, it’s clear they need to perform better for the Badgers to finish the season strong. Michigan State blocked a field goal and Ohio State had a huge kickoff return to midfield that set up their game-winning touchdown. And perhaps most egregiously, the Badgers had a punt blocked that directly led to seven points for the opponent in both games.

Wisconsin’s offense has shown flashes of brilliance in these past two games—especially in the fourth quarter— but there have also been times when it seemed stuck in reverse.

Against Ohio State, four of the Badgers’ first five offensive possessions ended with a punt.

At times, the Badgers’ running game struggled, especially with runs to the outside. Wisconsin went into halftime with only a 7-3 lead, effectively wasting an opportunity to put away the Buckeyes early.

Finally, the Wisconsin defense cannot be too proud of their performance over the last two weeks. Pass defense in late-game situations has obviously been a weakness, but there have been other problems. It has struggled getting

off the field in third downs, as the Buckeyes and Spartans combined for a 53 percent success rate on third down conversions. Additionally, the Badgers’ tackling fundamentals have left much to be desired at times, whether it be taking poor angles to the ball carrier or not finishing tackles well.

Playing the Boilermakers at Camp Randall should be just what the Badgers need to get back to their winning ways. Purdue heads into this weekend’s game with a 4-4 record and has not won away from home this season. The Boilermakers did shock No. 23 Illinois two weeks ago with a 21-14 home victory, but that was their only big win in an otherwise uninspiring season.

“In the world of college football, anything can happen. We just need a little help.”

Jacob Pedersen sophomore tight end Wisconsin football

Wisconsin played Purdue in West Lafayette last season, and the Boilermakers held a 10-6 halftime lead in the game.

Wisconsin pulled away in the second half thanks to two touchdown runs by tailback Montee Ball, winning 34-13. At

this point, the Badgers are pretty familiar with Purdue, and Wisconsin offensive coordinator Paul Chryst doesn’t expect anything out of the ordinary from the Boilermaker defense in Saturday’s game.

“Everyone has an identity at this point of the year,” Chryst said. “They’ll continue to be consistent with who they are.”

The Boilermaker defense is led by shutdown cornerback Ricardo Allen. The sophomore boasts three pick-sixes and a total of six interceptions in his short but successful collegiate career. Wisconsin senior wide receiver Nick Toon will likely have his hands full lining up across from the young talent this weekend.

Purdue’s offense is led by a duo of juniors—quarterback Caleb TerBush and tailback Ralph Bolden. The Boilermaker offense is averaging 27 points per game this season, good for 67th in the country.

Bielema has always said that there is much that his teams can learn from losses, no matter how inexplicable they may be. The lesson senior offensive guard Kevin Zeitler took from this tough stretch was one expressed in the context of a single game, but may also be relevant to the remainder of the Badgers’ season.

“It’s not over until it’s over, that’s for sure,” Zeitler said.

Five things to watch compiled by Ted Porath

1 Ball goes for record

Junior Montee Ball has cemented himself as one of the premiere running backs in the country since making his first start against Purdue last year.

Ball, a Doak Walker Award candidate, has scored at least

one touchdown in each of his last 14 games. In these games, Ball has amassed 36 touchdowns, most in the FBS; the next highest total is 23.

Ball has accumulated 21 touchdowns this year, which puts him three behind the alltime single-season school record set by Brian Calhoun in 2005. If

Ball stays on his current pace, he could place himself in Big Ten lore as well, as he only needs five more touchdowns to tie the Big Ten single-season record.

Ball figures to add at least one more touchdown to his total this week against Purdue as he scored two touchdowns in last year’s matchup in West Lafayette.

O-Line redemption time

The Badger offensive line is normally regarded as one of the premiere groups in the country, but the men in the trenches did not look that way against Ohio State as they were sty-

The Badger offensive line had troubles getting the Buckeyes off the ball and had trouble setting the edge when they ran stretch plays. This inability to control the line of

NATIONAL OUTLOOK

Hawkeyes look to pull off upset

By Ryan Hill The Daily Cardinal

Week 10 of the 2011 college football season brings forth by far the most compelling matchup of the year in No. 1 LSU and No. 2 Alabama. The contest is essentially an elimination game for the BCS national championship game on January 9 in New Orleans and should boast one of the most electric atmospheres of recent memory.

There are other big games that take place outside of the SEC this week, however, as three of the other four remaining unbeaten teams hit the road in huge conference games.

Michigan vs. Iowa

This Big Ten matchup features the only conference game in which both teams are above .500 in a weak slate of Big Ten games for Week 10. Michigan appears to be greatly favored against an Iowa team that lost to Minnesota on the road last week, but the Wolverines might be challenged more than one might think as they try to avoid a

third straight loss to the Hawkeyes.

Two weeks removed from their first loss of the season against Michigan State, the Wolverines must remain hungry for revenge, as they stay knotted in a threeway tie atop the Big Ten Legends Division with the Spartans and the Cornhuskers. With MSU and Nebraska unlikely to be tested on Saturday, Michigan must stay focused in what could be a trap game with the Hawkeyes.

Michigan desperately needs to contain Iowa running back Marcus Coker, who exploded for 252 yards on 32 carries despite the loss to the Gophers. The sophomore has racked up at least 124 yards on the ground in each of the last three games.

Iowa should show equal attention to Michigan star Denard Robinson, who has thrown for 1325 yards and ran for 779 yards while collecting 21 total touchdowns on the season. The recent struggles Iowa has shown of stopping the run should worry them even more.

Iowa is allowing an average of 194.8 yards per game on the ground in Big Ten play.

LSU vs. Alabama

LSU fans have shown up to their last couple of home games equipped with “We Want Bama” signs, and they’ve done so for a very good reason. LSU hasn’t exactly been presented with significant challenges in its games this season. The same goes for the Crimson Tide, as they haven’t allowed an opposing team to score more than 14 points in a game. Well, the teams’ wishes of playing each other has finally come, and the game will be the 23rd matchup of the AP poll’s No. 1 and No. 2 teams.

The game also features some of the game’s most efficient quarterbacks in LSU’s Jarrett Lee and Alabama’s A.J. McCarron. Each has completed over 63 percent of his passes and has a QB rating of over 150. However, each QB has been less than efficient in their games against highly ranked opponents. McCarron only completed 48 percent of his passes for 140 yards in The Tide’s win over Florida, while Lee was only 10-of-22 for 98 yards in LSU’s win over Oregon and was only 8-of21 against Kentucky. While each quarterback has shown slight signs of struggling, each team can still be assured of a reliable run game. Both teams have three runners with over 250 yards on the ground, led by Trent Richardson of Alabama and Spencer Ware of LSU. In the elite matchup of suffocating defenses (Alabama ranks first in terms of points allowed per game, and LSU third) it appears the loser still might have an outside shot at the national championship game, especially if the game is close. An intense debate will follow no matter what the outcome of the game,

watch from page B2 scrimmage led the Badgers to gain only 89 yards on the ground, their worst ground total in two years.

The Badgers will likely have to get their run game going if they are to have success against Purdue on Saturday and it all starts with the offensive line. Look for the Badger front five to return to form this week as Purdue does not present as much talent on defense as Ohio State and has struggled with the running game all year, giving up an average of 170 yards a game.

Home sweet home

Playing on the road has been a problem for Bret Bielema and his Badgers ever since he became head coach at Wisconsin, and this year has been no exception. After suffering two heartbreaking last-second losses on the road to Michigan State and Ohio State the last two weeks, Bielema’s record in true road games is now 14-12.

Camp Randall Stadium will be a sight for sore eyes for the Badgers as they look to regroup and get back to their previous winning ways. The atmosphere and raucous crowd of Camp Randall has proved to be an extreme advantage for the

Iowa’s sophomore running back Marcus Coker must be explosive if the Hawkeyes are to upset the Wolverines. prompting fans to wish for a playoff system more than ever this season.

Kansas St. vs. Oklahoma St.

The marquee matchup of the Big 12 conference features two offenses that have proved they can put up huge numbers. More importantly, OSU’s perfect season and national championship hopes are on the line. Both teams have shown they have some holes defensively, which what will probably make for a high-scoring game filled with big plays.

The Cowboys, who rank second in the nation in points scored per game, will go up against a Kansas State defense that was humiliated by Oklahoma just a week ago. The Wildcats gave up 58 points and allowed Sooners’ QB Landry Jones to throw for Badgers as Wisconsin holds a 14-game winning streak when playing in Madison and has won 37 out of 40 games there under Bret Bielema.

They will look to continue this streak against Purdue, who has lost its last 13 road games against top 25 teams and has not won a game at Camp Randall since 2003.

QB BOILING OVER?

Purdue’s quarterback situation has been a bit fluid all year, but became even more so with their blowout loss last week to Michigan. Junior Caleb TerBush has been the Boilermakers’ starter all year, but when the team has struggled he has been pulled in favor of senior Robert Marve.

TerBush finally looked like he was going to take the next step and give Purdue the stability it needed at quarterback when he completed 64 percent of his passes and through two touchdowns in Purdue’s 21-14 win over then No. 23 Illinois two weeks ago, but the offense was only able to score once under his direction in Purdue’s 36-14 loss to Michigan last week, and he was once again replaced by Marve.

There appears to be no controversy yet, as TerBush will once again be starting for the

505 yards in the team’s first loss of the season. OSU QB Brandon Weeden should have little trouble connecting with star wide receiver Justin Blackmon come Saturday.

Oklahoma State could be in trouble defending K-State QB Collin Klein, as the Cowboys let up 622 yards in their win over Baylor last week. Even though Klein is more of a threat on the run (he has 762 yards which leads the team), he still has put up 992 yards through the air this season.

Expect Blackmon to carry the Cowboys in their quest to keep their national championship hopes alive, setting up an exciting matchup at Texas Tech next week and what will be an epic contest in the final game of the regular season against Oklahoma at home.

Boilermakers this weekend, but it will be interesting to see how much leash Purdue head coach Danny Hope will be willing to give him.

Tackle football?

This week’s game for the Badgers against Purdue will also be an opportunity for the Wisconsin to regain its swagger after two subpar performances on the road the past two weeks in which it gave up 37 and 33 points to Michigan State and Ohio State, respectively.

There are many things one can point to, but the main problem for the Badgers this past weekend was their run defense, especially their tackling.

The Badgers gave up 268 rushing yards to the Buckeyes Saturday, most of which could have been prevented if the first man to the ball would have made the tackle.

There were countless times in which the Badgers had Braxton Miller or Daniel “Boom” Herron stopped for a loss or no gain, but they were either juked out or did not wrap up.

The Badgers will have to get their tackling problems fixed quickly, as they face a Purdue offense that has averaged over 180 yards per game on the ground this year.

opinion Safety still an issue for concealed carry dailycardinal.com

nick fritz opinion columnist

T

he time is finally upon us. The long-awaited concealed carry law is finally in effect and the response is overwhelming.

Thousands of people have already downloaded the online application that permits them to carry their firearm in public and hundreds more have either mailed in or personally dropped off an application. The Wisconsin State Journal reports that by 9 a.m. Nov. 1, the application’s website accumulated 400,000 hits and 83,000 downloaded applications. This is very impressive considering the site went up at midnight that night.

Although these numbers are overwhelming, they are not surprising. People have been waiting for this new law since 2003 when former Gov. Jim Doyle

Thursday, November 3, 2011

vetoed it once, and when he did so again in 2006. However, with the arrival of Gov. Scott Walker and the Republican-controlled legislature, the law finally passed within the first six months of his term. The wishes of the people of Wisconsin have been answered, and frankly, I’m scared.

The last thing the state needs is an overly excited armed person.

Usually, when there’s this kind of reaction to a new piece of legislation, it is comforting to know that so many people care about what happens in our government. But the reaction to the site opening is quite upsetting. One citizen in the Wisconsin State Journal compared his experience to a kid waiting for Christmas

Can I bring my gun here?

Some places you can and can’t conceal carry.

morning. Many were unable to sleep the night before in anticipation. These people need to calm way down, and fast.

The last thing the state needs is an overly excited armed person. I understand where the excitement stems from, and I am glad people are excited over a piece of legislation. However, I am hoping that people mellow out, especially when they have guns attached to their hips. People who are excessively excited with a gun could pose a threat to themselves and others. I implore them to realize the responsibility that has been bestowed upon them and act accordingly for the safety of the public.

Furthermore, what is truly disturbing about this legislation is the minimum of four hours of training needed to apply for a concealed carry permit. Four hours to train a person to handle, load, maintain and shoot a gun properly. Not to mention the numerous safety precautions of gun handling,

Permitted

-Only permitted in outdoor spaces, such as Bascom Hill, Library Mall and outside Camp Randall

I

Forbidden

-All university buildings -Housing Food locations -Dormitories

Government buildings Permitted

-State Senate floor -State Assembly gallery and floor upon approval of the rules -Offices without a sign forbidding them

Forbidden

-Court rooms -Any building or office with a sign forbidding firearms

I can’t put my trust in inadequately trained and overly excited citizens to safely use guns in public.

Traditionally, hunter’s safety is a 10-hour course spread over several days, but its focus is only on gun safety and handling and using guns in a hunting situation. There is no focus on using guns against other people for safety reasons, and since safety from other people is the main justification for this new bill, there needs to be extensive training in this area.

I could argue until I am blue

in the face about how much I dislike the new concealed carry law, but the fact of the matter is that it has already passed.

Therefore, I want to make sure that the people who are obtaining these new licenses are handling their guns responsibly and safely.

I can’t put my trust in inadequately trained and overly excited citizens to safely use guns in public. This is why police officers have to go through an entire academy to receive the proper training they need. I hope that citizens understand this and continue to educate themselves on safely handling and discharging guns, even after they completed the minuscule amount of required training. This kind of responsibility is nothing to be taken lightly, and it is my hope that this isn’t viewed as an exciting Christmas morning, but as a serious moment in Wisconsin history.

For some, college is not best option zach thomae opinion columnist

Around the city

learning how to use a gun in a stressful situation by controlling the fight or flight response, and various other important aspects of gun safety. Can all of this really be taught in only four hours?

l

know talking about schools bores most people in Wisconsin, but something interesting has been overlooked for the past few weeks. State Rep. Mark Radcliffe, D-River Falls, has introduced a bill in the Wisconsin state Legislature giving high school students the option of skipping traditional academic classes in favor of vocational ones.

The problem Radcliffe sees is simple—conventional high school classes try to prepare students for college, even though many students won’t be attending one. These students may be misplaced in college preparatory classes, so it would benefit them to be allowed to take classes more relevant and useful to them.

In other words, some kids just shouldn’t take math.

However, that’s not what is interesting about this bill. Aside from the merits of the change, the bill also implies something powerful.

Currently, too many people are preparing for and going to college. In a world where everyone is encouraged to go to college, this is a heresy, right? Unfortunately for the overly ambitious, it probably is true.

Currently, college is costly and is only getting more expensive. This has been justified with increased wages for college graduates; however, real wages for college graduates have been declining rapidly over the past decade. In fact, even though tuition is increasing, the difference between college and non-college-educated workers’ incomes has been roughly the same, meaning that college is becoming more

expensive to attend but not giving any more.

For some, college is barely affordable as it is. The increase in the cost of tuition means some students might be better off without attending college. Since people don’t leave college immediately when it stops being a good deal, that means there are people who are currently attending a college who probably shouldn’t be. In other words, too many people are going to college.

The increase in the cost of tuition means some students might be better off without attending college.

Now, this is only a marginal difference—what if, in addition to this, college degrees have been overvalued for as long as we can remember?

This is somewhat harder to believe, but it’s reasonable.

An education obviously gives a student useful skills, but a degree also gives a student a way to signal to the world that he or she is a valuable worker. It’s debatable which effect is larger, but it’s not controversial that they both matter. While the actual education is hard to replicate outside of a school, the signal of accomplishment is easy to create. For example, innovative tech startups in Silicon Valley have begun looking at profiles of the projects developers have worked on as well as—or instead of—resumes since these tell hiring managers more about the potential employee even with the college degree on the resume.

In a world where the qualities conveyed by a college degree can be accurately conveyed without one, a college

degree is less valuable than it could be. This is because people will be more willing to opt for a college alternative, as the cost of not attending college has decreased. Just like before, if the value of going to college goes down, fewer people should be going to college.

In fact, the case might be even stronger. If innovative tech companies are looking at something before a college degree, that implies that college degrees aren’t reliable indicators of skills required by these companies. For some, colleges aren’t teaching the right skills for workers entering these industries. Not only does this devalue the college degree, but the actual college degree devalues the college degree.

This problem isn’t limited to the tech industry; hence, the existence of Radcliffe’s bill. Given that some estimates indicate only 25 percent of incoming students are prepared for college, there is a considerable opportunity for a worthwhile alternative; since not every student is cut out for every job, it shouldn’t even be debated that some students would be better served by a different curriculum. However, traditional high school classes are aimed specifically at preparing students for college—at least, in America. European countries (including top-performing Finland) have extensive vocational education.

This probably won’t fix education in Wisconsin—the problem of affordability and teacher quality runs deep in its veins. However, a lack of ambition isn’t a reason to reject it. With Wisconsin’s legislature properly gridlocked by partisanship, a little fix is exactly what we need.

arts Saget hopes for ‘full house’ at Orpheum dailycardinal.com Thursday, November 3, 2011

Danny Tanner no more, Bob Saget will perform some raunchy stand-up Friday night, to the delight of Madison audiences.

By Ariel Shapiro the daily cardinal

Bob Saget is a name that evokes a wide range of reactions. If your knowledge of his career is limited to “Full House,” you probably think of hugs, unflattering hairdos and squeaky-clean hijinks. If you

have seen anything else Saget has done in the last decade-anda-half, what comes to mind is probably a little more unsavory.

His current comedic persona in his stand-up and in other projects is so inappropriate and so outlandish that, frankly, it seems like an act. You can

swear and make dirty jokes about sweet little old ladies in nursing homes all you want, but you don’t become Danny Tanner without possessing at least a modicum of sentimentality. This begs the question of who, away from the crowds or the soft-focus lens, is the real Bob Saget?

The answer lies somewhere between the stern but loveable father figure we all grew up with and Saget’s pimped-out self portrayal on HBO’s “Entourage.”

“I am clean freak sometimes and sometimes I’m a slob,” Saget said. “I guess I’ve got four different personalities.”

It’s that beguiling mix of those different personalities that is drawing hundreds of UW-Madison students to his stand-up act at the Orpheum this Friday.

According to Saget, he is used to the college crowd.

“Everybody that was 9 years old [when Full House was on] is now 20 or 25, so it’s weird,” he said. “I get a lot of 20 year olds.”

These 20-somethings flock to his shows to laugh as they watch their fond childhood memories or Mr. Tanner go up in filthy flames. During a performance when Saget plays one of his trademark songs like, say, “My Dog Licked My Balls,” the audience will “just be staring and realize they are watching the guy they grew up with.” However,

the dirty persona he has created for himself is something he mostly keeps on the stage.

“When I’ll be out in public I don’t go around talking like that. When I am with my kids I don’t go around talking like that,” Saget said, noting that being on stage or TV allows him to be as outlandish as he wants. “If you put me in front of hundreds of thousands of people, it can be very freeing to do what you find funny.”

Despite the reputation he has made for himself in the last 15 years through his HBO specials and appearances in films like “The Aristocrats,” Saget claims the shock value has worn off.

“I don’t really surprise anybody anymore,” he said, claiming even his mother has grown accustomed to his blue sense of humor. This acceptance of even his dirtiest jokes makes Saget want to “wear a cardigan and dust-bust.”

Although he has focused mostly on stand-up in recent years, Saget is not writing off sitcoms any time soon and intends to return to the small screen through a variety of projects.

“People are wanting [sitcoms] right now, which is kind of a break from the reality show world where everybody wants to be on television and will do anything.”

He even keeps ties with the

l

7

old “Full House” gang. John Stamos is a frequent guest at his performances, though to the disappointment of ladies and many gentlemen across this city, he will not be making it to Madison on Friday.

Though his jokes may be filthy, Saget’s philosophy on his comedy is positively Danny Tanner.

Describing stand-up as “an old friend that I always like going back to,” Saget said it always comes back to the audience.

“It’s a very special thing,” he said. “People are coming to see you, they want to be entertained, they want to laugh.

Especially now… we could all use some laughs.”

Bob Saget

Saget is best known as Danny Tanner from TV’s “Full House,” but he also hosted “America’s Funniest Home Videos” and has a lucrative stand-up career.

Previous work Friday’s show promises to be a little more risque than squeaky clean Danny Tanner might like, but don’t let that deter you from checking out some “Full House” reruns (or the DVDs stashed in your closet so your roommate won’t see them) in preparation.

His appearances on “Entourage” might be a little bit better preparation as far as subject matter, however.

Football

Lack of urgency has doomed Badgers Over the past two weeks Wisconsin has struggled to put up points in the middle quarters.

T

Story by Parker Gabriel

hrough the first six games of the season, the Wisconsin football team buried opponents so fast and so early that little doubt about the outcome was left by halftime.

In fact, the narrowest lead UW took to the locker room in the first six weeks was 27-14 Oct. 1 against then-No. 8 Nebraska, and even then the Badgers had just finished reeling off 20 straight second quarter points and had all the momentum.

The last two weeks featured much different stories. Sure, Wisconsin established itself early both times, each in environments as electric as they were hostile.

After out-gaining Michigan State in offensive yards 141-61 and generating a 14-0 lead in the opening quarter Oct. 22, the Badgers outgained Ohio State 105-40 and led 7-0 after a quarter in Columbus.

There is not much more to be asked of an offense on the road.

Not much, that is, except show up again for the second quarter.

“We just weren’t playing with urgency at all and that’s what pains us most,” junior running back Montee Ball said. “We feel like we practice with urgency and we just didn’t carry it forward to the game.

Opponent talent level is certainly a factor. So is the fact that both games came on national stages, on the road, in front of rowdy Homecoming crowds.

Ball said over confidence may have been an issue.

“It’s always good to go into the

game expecting to win, but I think we had too much of that,” Ball said.

After Saturday’s loss, Wilson acknowledged the questions about urgency but said the offense has to be careful not to try to go too fast.

Still, some answer for the lethargy must come quickly. The Badgers’ still have a chance to win the conference, but that window will close for good with one more loss.

Running back Montee Ball said that overconfidence coming in may have played a part in Wisconsin’s back-to-back losses.
