Sen. Warren rallies students for Feingold

By Leo Vartorella The Daily Cardinal

Hours before Saturday’s football game began, a packed crowd at Memorial Union’s Shannon Hall was already fired up, as Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., rallied support for former Sen. Russ Feingold’s campaign.

The rally centered on the issue of college affordability and was the third time this month that Feingold has come to campus.

Feingold, who faces a rematch against U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., next year, lambasted the “ruthless approach” that lenders take toward student loans, and noted the issue of college affordability was the single most common concern among voters he has spoken to on the campaign trail.

“A college education must be available to those who work hard to get there,” Feingold said.

“Your parents shouldn’t have to

be rich for you to go to college.”

Feingold said changes to legislation could only be made if college students went to the polls and voted.

“Voting is our most powerful weapon,” Feingold said.

While Feingold was greeted with enthusiastic cheers, Warren received a hero’s welcome and had to wait for a rousing standing ovation to end before she could begin her speech. The senator recalled her first encounter with Feingold 20 years ago, praising his determination to fight for his constituents.

The Republican Party of Wisconsin came after the two senators for what they said was empty rhetoric in a statement over the weekend.

“Voters can draw their own conclusions from the fact that two elite liberal academics plan to lecture students on rising college costs after collecting six-

figures in speaking fees,” Chris Martin, communications director of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, said in the statement.

Warren described herself as a champion of college affordability in the Senate, sponsoring a “Bank on Students” bill attempting to lower federal loan interest rates.

To offset the cost of the cuts, she proposed closing several tax loopholes for the wealthy.

However, this measure was filibustered by senate Republicans and the bill eventually died.

“Let’s face it,” Warren said. “The game is rigged, the Republicans rigged it, and they want to keep it that way.”

Warren said creating accessible loans is not simply a matter of helping students out, but that crippling student debt is bad for the American economy as a whole.

“This is about how we create

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., came to campus Saturday to rally students behind former Sen. Russ Feingold’s campaign. a future,” she explained. “We invest in the education of the next generation.”

Chet Edelman, a sophomore studying political science, said he came to the rally because of Warren’s reputation as a public speaker.

However, he worried that while some may get excited by her mes-

sage, many students are dangerously apathetic to the political process.

“Our generation is at a turning point,” Edelman said. “It’s necessary that students get out and vote if they want to see anything change.”

Feingold lost to Johnson in 2010 and will try to win back his former seat in November 2016.

“Give me something good and I won’t mess that up,” declares Drew Baker, not only the proud co-owner of Taco Bros. restaurant, established this April on the 600 block of University Avenue, but also the co-owner of Love Rock Farm, a Community Supported Agriculture farm in New Glarus, Wis. Using fresh ingredients such as produce from the New Glarus farm and local meat from the Jefferson Township, Baker serves dishes with a local, quality-oriented focus. Baker’s focus is part of a larger local food movement nationwide seeking to bridge the gap between farms

and restaurants.

Madison Food and Alcohol Policy Director Mark Woulf said the local food movement, through suppliers like Love Rock Farm and restaurants such as Taco Bros., is expanding across the country. Food for these restaurants is single-sourced from farms within a 100-mile radius.

“I think it’s great for the local economy,” Woulf said. “The local food movement in general is kind of a closed system allowing the money to stay in the local economy, so you’re benefiting local farmers and getting the freshest products available.”

Chemistry demonstrator aims to make science fun, more relatable

By Kelsey O’Hara The Daily Cardinal

Sounds of explosions reverberate through chemistry classrooms as UW-Madison instructional specialist Jim Maynard breaks the monotony of the traditional approach to teach-

ing by doing live demonstrations of scientific experiments.

Maynard develops and facilitates interactive activities for students to receive the most beneficial education experience. He emphasizes active learning, even in lecture halls con-

taining as many as 300 students.

“We’ve been approaching that in a way where we have made some of the experiments and demonstrations more interactive. Do less talking and more asking,” Maynard said. “We are trying to get students’ opinions and

have them be involved with observing the chemistry, understanding what they are seeing and drawing their own conclusions.”

Maynard collaborates with the REACH program to enhance these approaches and include more inde-

pendent comprehension and peer guided teaching.

“We are redesigning the whole curriculum, not just one individual piece of material, but the whole

Assembly passes proposal to change state hiring, firing Legislative Republicans announced Thursday that they will join with Gov. Scott Walker to propose changes to the state’s civil service system to alter how some state employees are hired and fired.

The bill, according to authors state Sen. Roger Roth, R-Appleton, and Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke, R-Kaukauna, would speed up the hiring process for positions in state agencies, remove civil service exams in favor of a resume based system of awarding positions and make it clearer which offenses are fireable.

“In 2015, we want to make sure we can attract the best workers to live up to Gov. Robert LaFollete’s motto that the ‘best shall serve the state,’” Roth said at a press conference.

Steineke noted that Gov. Scott Walker’s administration helped

work on the bill and how it would be implemented. The governor praised the proposal in a statement, saying it will help provide the “highest quality services to our citizens.”

“This legislation will implement common-sense reforms to our recruiting process to get the best in the door and will give state agencies the tools to retain their great employees, as well as to address the bad actors who abuse the system,” Walker said in the statement.

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, said that while he hadn’t read all the details of the proposal, he “supports the goals” of the bill and hopes to pass it in the fall.

Democrats criticized the bill as an attack on state employees and said it would lead to corruption.

Assembly Minority Leader Peter

Barca, D-Kenosha, said that the bill would diminish one of the strongest civil service systems in the nation and “make jaws drop.”

“I predict they will take one of the most extreme civil services approaches,” Barca said.

Democrats also accused Walker of reneging on statements he made during the Act 10 protests in 2011, where he assured state workers’ interests would be protected by a strong civil service system.

“At the public level, it’s the government, it’s the people, who are the ones who are the employers,” Walker said at the time. “Whether someone is in the union or not ... we protect sick leave, vacation time. We protect work rules.”

Roth said the bill will be formally introduced early next week.

Taco Bros. serves produce from a local farm in New Glarus, Wis., which restaurant co-owner Drew Baker also co-owns.

Massara brought needed business experience from his father, who owned Taco Shop restaurants in Madison as well as in Amsterdam and Copenhagen.

“Logan and my wife will tell you right now: I’m not a tremendous business man.

I can’t go over spreadsheets, I’ve never written a program,” Drew Baker said.

Though Baker does not have a huge passion for the numbers-driven technicalities of running a business, he said he has the determination to keep his restaurant and farm going strong through his passion for using locally sourced food.

“I struggle with things like

that, but I’m kind of the heart and soul behind the operations,” he said.

Alongside Taco Bros., Baker participates in the farm-totable movement through CSA box deliveries for restaurants in the Milwaukee area and consumers around the state.

Baker said he believes the deliveries are worth the effort and beneficial, both economically and philosophically.

“There’s nothing I can do with poor quality meat and vegetables. I cannot doctor them up and turn them into a good meal for you,” Baked explained. “However, if you give me fresh meat and fresh vegetables, a seasonal selection with red tomatoes and beautiful melons, my job is to not screw that up.”

Bill to nix federal Planned Parenthood grant advances The state Assembly approved a bill Thursday that would redirect federal grant money from Planned Parenthood to private services and state and county agencies.

The measure, which passed 60-35, would mean Planned Parenthood could lose up to $3.5 million in Title X grant money. Proponents of the bill say the money would be better distributed to services such as the Wisconsin Well Women Program, which provides health care and cancer screenings to women between the ages of 45 and 64.

“We’re saying the state is applying for this fund, and if we don’t, we would be saying that Planned Parenthood knows better than the state about what to do with Title X [grants],” bill author Rep. André Jacque, R-De Pere, said at a press conference earlier Thursday.

The body also passed an amendment to the bill to allow health care workers to “refuse to accept the duty of offering

family planning services to the extent that the duty is contrary to his or her personal beliefs.”

Democrats criticized both the bill and the amendment, saying they serve as a politically motivated attack to hinder women from getting key health care services.

“This is about an agenda,” state Rep. Debra Kolste, D-Janesville, said during debate. “You can’t use ideology to limit the opportunity for women to have exams … there are many women who will lack this access.”

Legislative Republicans have grown more interested in Planned Parenthood following the release of videos taken by abortion opponents they say show organization officials discussing the sale of fetal tissue, a practice that would violate federal law.

The bill will now head to the Senate and, if approved, to Gov. Scott Walker’s desk. Walker has indicated he supports the measure.

“The goal is for the students to teach themselves and each other during their own education.”

These strategies rely on students engaging with the material and having access to the concepts presented in the classroom, so he uploads lecture recordings online.

“We’re not trying to replace anybody, we’re just trying to give

the students every single avenue to learn that there is. Show them every possible way to get the information out there so they can succeed,” Maynard said.

The specialist’s central role is having students get the most out of their lectures. This often includes getting classrooms ready for professors, setting up lecture demonstrations and focusing on promoting the educational mission within the chemistry department.

The mission stresses the impor-

tance of using these approaches to help qualified students master their course skills and take their scientific skill into any field.

“Our goal is never to fail people.

Our goal is to get as many people well-qualified and going into science and technology,” Maynard said. “I understand it’s not easy.

There has been pushback because it’s not easy, but in the long run, we want mastery so students can build those strategies that they can use in any field.”

MPD reports suspicious person on bike path from last spring Madison police recently received a report of an attempted sexual assault on the Capital City State Trail from last April, near the same location of an attempted homicide earlier this month.

A 38-year-old woman on the trail was approached by a man riding a bicycle who stopped to talk to her, according to Madison Police Department Public

Information Officer Joel DeSpain in an incident report Friday.

After the woman refused an offer for sex, the perpetrator became angry and tried to grab her inappropriately, according to the report. The victim pushed the suspect away and ran to safety before he made any contact with her.

Police described the suspect

as a black, middle-aged male with a medium build, standing about 5 feet 7 inches tall. He was also described as having missing teeth, a scar above one eye, short hair and appearing “dirty.”

Although this incident occurred in the same area as the attempted homicide, police do not believe the cases are related.

RECORD ROUTINE

Songs for the morning after CD REVIEW photo courtesy of zappa plays zappa

Zappa Plays Zappa played at the Barrymore Friday for a show in honor of the 40th anniversary of Frank Zappa’s album One Size Fits All.

Crowd dances to sounds of Zappa

By Brian Weidy The Daily Cardinal

Seconds after 8 p.m., Dweezil Zappa and his tribute to his father, Zappa Plays Zappa, strode out onto the Barrymore Theatre stage to the theme from “Star Wars.” The space-y theme was a fitting introduction to the wild world of Frank Zappa’s music.

To keep things interesting, both for fans and for themselves, the band is touring behind the 40th anniversary of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention’s 1975 album, One Size Fits All in the first set and then a selection of tunes from throughout Zappa’s catalog in the second.

The first frame opened with the intricate composition, “Inca Roads.”

The six-member outfit paid fitting tribute to the complex tune, nailing each segment of the meandering song. Stretching to the doubledigit mark with impressive phrasing from Dweezil on guitar, “Inca Roads” was one of the highlights of the first set.

The set continued with a pair of shorter tunes, “Can’t Afford No Shoes” and “Sofa,” a brief instrumental number, before launching into “Po-Jama People.” Showcasing Zappa’s fantastic lyricism and incredible work from the rhythm section, “Po-Jama People” is a down-

tempo highlight of the album.

After an excellent run through “Florentine Pogen,” a brief take on “Evelyn, a Modified Dog” and “San Ber’dino,” the latter two featuring more of Zappa’s creative lyrics, the band launched into the intricate “Andy.” To cap off the hour-long set, the band played “Sofa No. 2,” a fitting closer to a take on the complete album.

Zappa’s tunes fall into two categories: songs with humorous lyrics and songs with many movements and complex arrangements with many falling in both categories. Zappa was so prolific that Dweezil told a story of his father being unhappy about being in a five-album recording contract, so he turned in five albums at once.

This kind of prolific behavior left Zappa Plays Zappa a large catalog of material to play around with in the second set. To open things up, the group began with “Outside Now,” a strong opener off Joe’s Garage, a three-part concept album that’s widely considered some of Zappa’s best work.

Up next was “The Grand Wazoo” off The Grand Wazoo. This sprawling tune opened up with a laid back, funky groove and quickly launched into a phenomenal sax solo from multi-instrumentalist Scheila Gonzalez that saw her use a com-

bination of modulation effects and lightning quick runs to whip the older crowd into a fit of applause and cheers.

Dweezil then took the opportunity to play the role of conductor, instructing the rhythm section in terms of what to play and controlling the dynamics of the group with precision as the song stretched to the 20-minute mark.

After a strong take on “Suzy Creamcheese,” the band played a pair of songs from Apostrophe (‘), “Cosmik Debris” and “Apostrophe.”

The former allowed another multiinstrumentalist and lead vocalist Ben Thomas to show off his impressive command of Zappa’s unique vocals while even throwing in references to Wisconsin, a move that elicited cheers from the audience.

Ryan Brown’s work throughout the evening was particularly noteworthy as filling in for the legendary Terry Bozzio, who was a part of many Zappa bands, and is no easy feat. While he wasn’t called upon to play “The Black Page,” the legendary solo-drum composition, he kept up with the rich dynamics and challenging time signatures that are littered throughout Zappa’s music.

The band closed the second set with the legendary Zappa tune, “Montana.” One of the most fre-

quently played songs by Zappa Plays Zappa, “Montana” saw strong work from the whole band and a call-andresponse segment from Thomas and the audience as he instructed the crowd to add “Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay” after he sang. While that might be a mouthful for most audiences, the now-standing crowd was more than adept at following along.

After a brief encore break, the group came out for a trio of tunes.

They began with “Dancin’ Fool,” which got the crowd up and dancing to the whimsical lyrics and disco beat. The tone changed a bit, though the celebratory air in the crowd did not as they moved into “Zomby Woof” and then the Zappa and Captain Beefheart penned tune, “Muffin Man.” Over the course of more than two hours of music, Zappa Plays Zappa showed why they have transcended pure tribute band and count themselves among the only people in the world that can do justice to the full swath of Frank Zappa’s catalog. Avoiding pure mimicry and instead, allowing the six talented musicians on stage to interpret the vast and challenging catalog as they see fit, Zappa Plays Zappa is one of the must-see acts for fans of rock, jazz, classical music or anything in between.

Authors depict the struggles of addiction Maham Hasan lit columnist

I

don’t think that the majority of us have the full ability to comprehend what addiction is. We use that word carelessly, as we do most words in our life.

We claim to be addicted to that new song by Kanye or the guacamole at Chipotle but as obliviously as we may insist otherwise we do not need these things for survival or for some semblance of peace in our mind. True addiction is a clawing need inside of your skin that breathes with a life of its own. It is the desperate longing for something so intense that nothing but the object of your addiction exists. It is a hunger so deep you can feel it in every crevice of your mind. While we may never understand what it truly means to go through something like that, words left behind by others can show us a rare glimpse into the mental battle addiction entails.

“Alcohol was an escalating madness, and the blackout issue was the juncture separating two kinds of drinking. One kind was

a comet in your veins. The other kind left you sunken and cratered, drained of all light.” These words come from “Blackout: Remembering the Things I Drank to Forget,” the searing memoir written by Sarah Hepola about the dependence on alcohol that sneaks up on you. Binge drinking and drinking merely to be drunk is not a foreign concept to us on a college campus. But when does the line get drawn? Where does it get drawn? Is there perhaps a socially accepted number of blackouts we can have on consecutive weekends, after which it becomes unacceptable, or does it just provide more fodder for stories that begin with, “dude I was so fucked up.” Hepola walks us through the slow dawning of her own alcoholism while never faltering in her wit, and surprisingly relatable wisdom.

Patrick O’Neil allows us into the gritty innards of his brain and the battle with heroin addiction in his memoir, “Gun, Needle, Spoon.” What you’re immediately absorbed into is a world where O’Neil details the stepby-step process of using heroin, every little graphic detail. We’re also faced with the step-by-step

process of O’Neil’s armed robberies, the business that fed the heroin habit. If someone were to ever attempt to then describe the step-by-step process of your soul dying, they’d find that O’Neil comes very close to letting us witness such a travesty. He shows you the filth inside of you when all you’re reduced to is a vessel for drugs, and he also shows you that redemption is still—shockingly—possible.

Addiction is by default always regarded as an excess of something we gorge with, but there are nevertheless still many ways to interpret that aren’t there.

Depriving ourself to an extent that our dependence on it is unquestionable is the addiction Marya Hornbacher writes about in, “Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia.” A 10-year journey into the sudden and inexplicable appearance of both anorexia and bulimia eating disorders is what Hornbacher shares without pomp or flourish. It is the most straightforward account of battling the need to deprive one’s self for the need to feel more. This idea is captured flawlessly in these words, “We turn skeletons into goddesses

and look to them as if they might teach us how not to need.”

Sometimes the tangibility of something makes it more real, easier to live with. But how does one come to grips with addiction that we cannot see? There’s no bottle to hide and no needles to stay away from. It lives inside of you, and after a while it becomes you. Such is the torment one of my favorite books of all time paints, “Requiem for a Dream”

by Hubert Selby Jr. When the very dreams that define us and drive us to be able to face life every day become the source of our addiction, how does one find the strength to say no? This book tells the tail of sad souls that are chasing the American dream that has long since been dead, and then allowing themselves to be steamrolled by the million faces of addiction in the process. In the greed for our dreams, addiction here is welcomed with open arms and smiles. “I suspect there will never be a requiem for a dream, simply because it will destroy us before we have the opportunity to mourn it’s passing.”

Breakfast Mic Kellogg

By Paul Blazevich The Daily Cardinal

In a style popularized by Chance The Rapper and Mac Miller, Mic Kellogg delivers an atmospheric album that channels the vocal styles of many up-and-coming rap artists while giving Milwaukee producer Charles Mammyth Forsberg a proper introduction to a larger audience.

While Mic Kellogg’s name is on the cover, Mammyth deserves a heavy amount of credit for mixing this magnum opus of an ear pleaser.

Kellogg is an artist reigning from Madison that now calls Milwaukee his home. Dare I say this is very audible in Kellogg’s musical choices that were made on this freshman LP, as the Midwest weather, scenery and musical surroundings are evident.

The sing-song style with which Chance The Rapper delivers his bars is employed by Kellogg on “Breakfast (Intro),” while the soulful backup singers sound like they were ripped directly from Acid Rap. “Breakfast (Intro)” gives the listener an accurate introduction to the album, an album that sounds like it should be played during the earlier parts of the day while indulging in the fattier of breakfast foods and recovering from the night before.

There are no harsh beats and no sharp edges on Breakfast, the success of which depends on who is listening. “Head Up” embraces a positive outlook on life and fighting through hard times in order to keep chasing success. Another background singer appears, imploring Kellogg and the listener to “keep your head up,” a mantra that is likely very applicable to a young artist attempting to gain popularity in the tumultuous Midwest hip-hop community.

“Take Me” holds an example of one of five different wonderfully crafted cover photos used on this album, all taken from Mic Kellogg’s point of view looking down at the table in front of him. The atmosphere that surrounds the ear is a perfect example of breakfast music: minimalist beat, flowing ambience and slurring lyrics from Kellogg.

Although Breakfast may sound very similar to many projects coming out of Kellogg’s region, the mixing by Mammyth combines lovely jazz, atmospheric hip-hop and Kellogg’s voice to create a satisfying finished work. I do not know whether to be skeptical of how much this album sounds like other recent Midwest rap projects or to accept Breakfast as advancing the craft with another well-produced album that reflects the joys and plights of millennials.

Sebastian Van bastelaer Opinion Columnist

A

brave soul stands in front of the class, waiting for his time to shine. Once the murmuring dies down, he jumps into an energetic, well-rehearsed pitch for his volunteer group, spewing examples of adventures to be had and sights to be seen. He passes out a collection of colored sheets that reiterate his point, leaves and finally lecture can begin.

“Voluntourism” is a booming industry that has been cultivated by global interconnectedness and supported by wealthy communities with enough disposable income that they can afford to travel abroad to help others. Its problem, however, is that it can’t decide if it’s a full-on service trip or a vacation—and by trying to be both, it ends up being neither.

Most people who partake in “voluntourism” trips do it with the belief that the work they’ll be doing in the far-flung communities they’ll be visiting is making a tangible impact on those communities, as well as their own

lives. Whereas many people do come away from their trips having had a life-changing experience or an epiphany about the arbitrariness of reckless consumerism, it’s decidedly less clear whether or not the work they do helps in the long run.

One of the most appealing aspects of going on service trips is the sightseeing.

Though many people who go on service trips come away with a feeling of accomplishment (and at least one social media photo of them holding an undernourished child), red tape and complex issues within the countries accepting volunteers stand in the way of effecting real change.

I went on a service trip myself in July of 2013, visiting a small community in northern Tanzania.

Though I felt I made a positive

impact on the area, helping kids do better in school, bringing them supplies and teaching them English, I soon realized that the work we did only made a tiny dent in the region’s problems.

Mere months after we had left the region, one of the orphanages we visited ran into trouble because they were incapable of paying their water bill; the government shut off their water and they were only bailed out when a group of investors paid much of the bill for them. It was then that I realized that the impacts made by visiting these communities are ephemeral, and that there are myriad other troubles they have to face when all the volunteers go back to their cozy hometowns.

One of the most appealing aspects of going on service trips is the sightseeing. Most groups will spend a certain amount of time working in their respective communities, then go off on an amazing adventure. These side journeys are a focal point of volunteer groups looking to recruit people: instead of advertising trying to help severely impoverished people

worlds away, they shine a light on the time spent swimming with dolphins, going on safari, climbing a mountain and more.

The main problem with this industry is that it wavers between a Peace Corps-esque commitment to making an impact and showing people the world. If the real purpose of the trips is to work hard and make a difference, why are we shelling out hundreds (or thousands) of dollars to provide this free labor? Or, if people want to go see a new, beautiful part of the world, why are they letting their vacation be interrupted by manual labor?

While it’s nice to see the world and get the feeling of validation that goes along with service trips, they’ve lost their meaning over the years. It tries to promote itself as a way to both make a big impact on the lives of others, but until it starts to actually help the communities in need, it remains a very costly way to make much ado about nothing.

Criticism of Sanders misses the mark historically Elijah Gray Opinion Columnist

T

he article entitled “Sanders’ socialism falls short” that appeared in the Sept. 23 issue of this paper provides poignant insight into the degree to which Bernie Sanders detractors are blind to historical economic trends and the success of socialist principles around the world. In the article the author purports to put backers of Sanders’ aims for things like universal healthcare and free college in their place by noting that these programs would cost money.

What a revelation, right? It’s almost as if the author doesn’t want to take stock of the fact that the United States actually spends more on healthcare as a percentage of its GDP than any other industrialized country, or that currently the burden of college in America is such that there now exists in this country more than one trillion dollars’ worth of student loan debt.

For all the attendant challenges of completely subsidizing education, I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting

for Scandinavian college students to opt for crippling debt once they’ve finished their studies.

There’s also the assertion that Sanders supporters “don’t have any strong justifications” for asking wealthy individuals and corporations to pay their fair share of taxes to achieve the economic justice central to Sanders’ platform.

Yes, there isn’t any conceivable reason why a company like General Electric, which routinely makes billions of dollars by conducting business in the U.S., should feel guilty for paying nothing in taxes.

Forget that the American economy experienced unprecedented growth in the post-WWII era even as the nominal tax rate reached as high as 90 percent under Eisenhower—so long as conservative pundits get to convince us that higher taxes herald the death knell for businesses and people’s incentive to get rich, history be damned.

The article also attempts to revive the kind of staid trickle-down economic theory whose success was

never born out by history when it reads, “All of the things that rich people do with their money provide value to society. Even spending on seemingly wasteful luxury goods like private jets and exotic cars gives producers of those goods a way of life.” There you have it, folks. Middle class wages may have stagnated in the decades following Reagan unshackling the rich from their tax obligations of yesteryear, but at least the obscenely wealthy have used the money that could otherwise go towards universal healthcare and subsidized tuition to prop up the critical luxury airliner industry.

So much of what undergirds the anti-Sanders ethos is an assumption that proponents of socialist principles are naively asking for changes that aren’t feasible in an economic climate conducive to making people disgustingly rich.

There’s truth to this sentiment. If as a society we want to go on privileging the ability of the ultra wealthy to continue to accrue more and more money at the expense of criti-

cally needed social programs, then I suppose Sanders’ proposals are unrealistic. They wouldn’t be unrealistic, however, if we collectively decided that there’s a point at which those who have disproportionately reaped the benefits of conducting affairs in America should actually contribute to the well-being of their fellow brothers and sisters.

Wealthy individuals, corporations and the politicians they collude with would like us to think that in spite of the success and relative fiscal efficiency of social programs in places like Europe, where Germany boasts a markedly renowned and robust economy, that redistributing wealth in such a way as to guarantee a higher standard of living for all citizens is a ludicrously dangerous proposition. Morality and history, however, which I see as more credible adjudicators of this issue, tell us that the socialist goals enumerated

by Bernie Sanders are altogether noble and feasible ones.

Enjoying Badger sports does not require athletic fanaticism Lilly Hanson Opinion Columnist

I

f you would’ve asked me a year ago where I would place myself on a scale of 1-to-10 regarding my viewpoint of sports, I probably would’ve placed myself very low (low meaning that even though I enjoy attending sporting events, I don’t really have a passion for them).

I grew up in a competitive suburb in Minnesota where sports were second nature, but I never really found myself cheering for my high school’s championship-winning team. Being from Minnesota, I also had no experience of winning football championships when it came to the Vikings.

Don’t get me wrong, I love a good brat at a tailgating party and cannot hide my excitement when my team

is winning, but I never grew up in a sports-fanatic household. I always knew which teams were winning and losing, and who played who, but there was never any passion behind my knowledge. I suppose the stigma placed on a girl who likes sports was too much for me to find my spot at the nearest sporting event.

In society there is a common conception that people who like sports are stupid, or uneducated. The countless puns and jokes of clueless fans and dumb blondes at sports games seems to follow me wherever I go.

Why is it that people are expected to follow sports religiously or not at all, with no in between? I chose the University of Wisconsin-Madison for the pursuit of excellence in academics, but also for the fact that this

school is good at sports.

Becoming a Badger, have I grown to love sports more? Perhaps. But I think the bigger point is that I have grown to accept the fact that I will never be a fully committed sports fan, and my fellow Badgers accept me for that.

Fast forward to my freshman year of college and you find me in section P of Camp Randall, cheering for the Badgers. Did I know any of the cheers? No. Did I look a bit out of place? A bit. None of that mattered though, because the second you walk through the arches of the stadium, it doesn’t matter whether you’ve been tailgating for the past four hours, or if you just put on your only red T-shirt.

Because the second you enter Camp Randall, you become part of some-

thing bigger than yourself and it feels pretty amazing.

Looking back on this weekend’s game versus Hawaii, my first night game at Camp Randall, there is no place I would have rather been. I love every aspect of Badger game days, the face tattoos that never come off and the person behind you in the student section who always yells at the refs a little too much. Everything from the helmet shuffle to the acapella singing of “Build Me Up Buttercup,” is what makes being a Badger so great.

Whether you are going to the games for the soft pretzels or to pay attention to the actual game, I salute you fellow Badger. On Wisconsin.

Badgers downed

by Buckeyes, fall to 0-2 in Big Ten play

By Matt Davis The Daily Cardinal

No. 16 Wisconsin (0-2 Big Ten, 8-4 overall) suffered its second consecutive loss of the season to 12thranked Ohio State (1-1, 12-2) today at St. John’s Arena in Columbus in a hard fought five-set heartbreaker: 25-17, 18-25, 25-20, 21-25, 15-11.

“The one thing I’m really happy with is that I thought we battled more than we have in any match this year,” UW head coach Kelly Sheffield said. “It might have looked a little sloppy at times, certainly in game one, but when they come in during the timeouts and you look them in the eye, you just see how they’re playing and their fighting spirit is starting to get where I’m wanting it to go. Now if you can mesh that spirit along with some confidence, that’s the trick.”

This game was a rematch from last year’s Sweet 16 matchup during the NCAA Tournament, which the Badgers won in a grueling five sets.

The match looked very similar, as both teams were tied at two through the first four sets. In the fifth set, the Buckeyes jumped out to a 7-2 lead. Then, UW went on a 3-0 run to make the score 9-7.

Wisconsin would later make the score 12-10 before the Buckeyes would eventually extend their lead and win.

Losing two matches in a row has been very uncharacteristic of the Badgers over the past few seasons. The last time UW dropped two in a row was 2010.

UW had a .201 hitting percentage (58 kills, 27 errors, 154 total attempts) for the match and Ohio State hit .250 (62-23-156). The Buckeyes also out-blocked the Badgers 15-8.

“When you look at past matches with us and Ohio State, these hitting percentages are actually pretty high,” Sheffield said. “These are two teams that usually defend really, really hard. It wasn’t a lights-out offensive performance by any means, but you know what you’re going to get when you’re playing against Ohio State.”

Sophomore outside hitter Kelli Bates led the Badgers with 13 kills while sophomore outside hitter Lauryn Gillis, junior middle blocker Haleigh Nelson and junior outside hitter Romana Kriskova finished with 11 each. Junior setter Lauren Carlini had 50 assists and recorded three kills.

Senior libero Taylor Morey led UW’s defense with a match-high 20 digs, marking the third time this season she has tallied 20 or more digs. Carlini also added 13 digs while Gillis and Bates finished with 11 a piece.

Freshman middle blocker Tionna Williams led with five blocks, while Bates and Nelson finished with three.

The Badgers will try to snap their losing streak, as they will face ninth-ranked Illinois at UW Field House Wednesday night at 7 p.m.

The Badgers outlasted Purdue 1-0 for their second consecutive victory to move to 2-1-1 in Big Ten play.

Wisconsin staves off Boilermakers for second consecutive victory

By Jacob Hams The Daily Cardinal

Coming off their first win in the Big Ten the Badgers (2-11 Big Ten, 5-4-3 overall) were victorious again in a nail-biter against Purdue (1-3-0, 6-5-0) Sunday afternoon.

Purdue came out early in the game with a lot of offensive pressure and got a shot that went off the goal post in the seventh minute of the game. The Badgers answered the Boilermakers’ early pressure with some of their own, getting two shots on goal in the first 15 minutes.

The game slowed down after the 15th minute until senior midfielder McKenna Meuer scored of a free kick in the 32nd minute for Wisconsin.

The Badgers continued to have a strong attack as junior for-

ward Rose Lavelle had a bicycle kick in the 34th minute that was barely saved by the Purdue goalkeeper Erika Yohn.

The game went into the half with Wisconsin winning 1-0, but Purdue came out in the second half on the attack. Redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Caitlyn Clem made a pair of huge saves in the span of 10 minutes to keep the Boilermakers off the board.

Purdue put a lot of pressure on the defense in the closing minutes of the game, but were unable to tally the equalizer.

“I think we were a bit too nonchalant in the back, and I thought we gave them some opportunities on that alone and some communication issues,” UW head coach Paula Wilkins said of the Boilermakers’ late pressure.

For the Badgers, it was their

third straight shutout and second Big Ten victory of the weekend in a 1-0 win.

“We are doing better on transitions,” Wilkins said of team’s defense during the past three shutouts. “We are meeting them a lot earlier and, I think that is making a difference because now we are further away from our goal.”

After struggling to score earlier in the season, the Badgers have combined for four goals in their last two games.

“We have asked them to do some different things in the midfield, and I think it just took us a little longer to figure it out,” Wilkins said.

The next game for the Badgers will come against Minnesota at 6 p.m. on Friday at the McClimon Soccer Complex.

Early deficit dooms UW against Maryland

By Jarek Petras The Daily Cardinal

emily buck/cardinal file photo

In a Sweet 16 rematch from last year’s NCAA Tournament, the Badgers fell to Ohio State in five sets, dropping them to 0-2 in conference play.

Despite playing before a large crowd on a day where Wisconsin’s 1995 national championship team was honored, the Badgers were no match for the for the No. 11 Maryland Terrapins, losing 4-1 in the contest.

Wisconsin let up two early goals that set the pace for the game. The early Terrapin goals were scored by freshman forward Sebastian Elney and senior midfielder Mael Corboz.

Corboz ripped a 25-yard shot that beat Wisconsin keeper Adrian Remeniuk just five minutes into the match.

“I thought we competed but at the beginning we let up those two goals and they were soft and our defence fell apart and gave them some possession,” sophomore forward Tom Barlow said after the game. “Like I said,

they’re a top-ranked team so hats off to them. I thought we competed but we have to clean up some mistakes and get a little bit better.”

Wisconsin scored its first home goal of the season thanks to nice passing and a clean finish

by Barlow. His goal was scored in the eighth minute and put the Badgers down by one. This was Barlow’s first goal and second point of the season after receiving Big Ten All-Freshman honors in 2014.

The Terrapins were fast with and without the ball and won nearly every 50-50 ball that was in the air during the course of the game.

Though the early deficit was too much for them to overcome, the Badgers played tough, finishing with nine shots and six corner kicks.

“Maryland is a good team and you’ve got to give them credit for

that performance. I don’t think they were that many goals better than us,” Barlow said of the 4-1 final score. “Still, I definitely think it’s a reality check. Playing a top-ranked team like that, we got exposed in a lot of areas and we know what we need to work on in training.”

The 1995 UW team was welcomed by a huge crowd at halftime for a 20-year anniversary celebration of their national championship season.

“The crowd was awesome.

Having this many people for warm-ups really pumped us up,” senior captain Drew Conner said. “I think it was probably one of our biggest attendances since I’ve been here in my four years.

The Badgers conclude a three-game homestand at the McClimon Soccer Complex Wednesday, when they square off against in-state rival Green Bay at 7 p.m.

Football

Badgers run over Hawaii under the lights

By Andrew Tucker The Daily Cardinal

Unlike professional sports, college football’s schedule is generally decided by the conferences a couple weeks before the game is played. The teams are locked, but kickoff time fluctuates, depending on the quality of teams playing and other matchups taking place.

For the past two seasons, Wisconsin has been denied a home night game, and fan displeasure had bottled up. The pent up emotion exploded when the Badgers (3-1) defeated the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (2-2) 28-0 Saturday night at Camp Randall Stadium.

Wisconsin’s first three games of the Paul Chryst era seemed to feature a new-look UW offense that thrives on the pass, making up for an average run game.

That theory was squelched on the Badgers’ first drive of the game.

Wisconsin was pinned on its own 3-yard line by a Hawaii punt, and responded with a 16-play, 97-yard touchdown drive that chewed up nearly 10 minutes of game time and put the Badgers up 7-0. Of the 16 plays, 13 were runs, and of the three passes, only two were completed. To say that the run game carried the drive would be a massive understatement.

“That was big for us, to be able to know we could just come out on them like that and get going on the ground right away, so that was big for us going forward, and it helped in the pass game as well,” redshirt junior running back Dare Ogunbowale said.

The running back corps was incredibly efficient on the drive despite the absence of junior Corey Clement who is out four to six weeks following surgery for a sports hernia. Ogunbowale averaged seven yards per carry, and redshirt freshman Taiwan Deal averaged 6.22 yards per carry, but his two-yard score, the shortest run of the drive, brought down the average from 6.75.

“That was big for us, to be able to know we could just come out on them and get going on the ground right away.”

Dare Ogunbowale running back Wisconsin football

Much like last week, UW suffered a drought for most of the second quarter, but thankfully for the Badgers, the Wisconsin defense stood firm and held the Rainbow Warriors scoreless in the first half.

As the second quarter began to wind down, the Badgers again started with the ball deep in their own territory, this time starting from the 5-yard line. This drive was significantly more balanced, with six passes and five runs, as the Badgers took it down the field, and Deal scored his second of the day with another two-yard touchdown plunge.

The drive could have been entirely different if Lady Luck didn’t swing Wisconsin’s way.

On second down, redshirt senior quarterback Joel Stave was blitzed hard, and barely got the ball off in what was a hasty throw. A Hawaii defender laid out to make the interception, and as he rolled with the ball in his hands, it slipped out, and fell right into the hands of redshirt senior Alex Erickson.

“That’s one of those things you can’t really practice, it’s a lot of luck,” Erickson said.

Erickson and Stave seemed in-sync throughout the game, but especially so in the first half, when Stave went 7-of-8 to Erickson, but only completed 1-of-5 to other receivers, with the one non-Erickson completion coming with two-and-a-half minutes left in the half. For the game, the duo went 9-of-11.

“Every week, we’ve been out on the practice field getting extra catches after practice, stuff like that,” Erickson said. “It’s been a process over the last few years, and it’s nice to see it start to click here full steam.”

Wisconsin’s 14-0 lead held through halftime, and deep into the third quarter when the Badgers scored with 53 seconds left before Jump Around.

The 80-yard scoring drive was impressive, yet pales in comparison to the 95-plus yard drives the Badgers had earlier in the game. Regardless, the Badgers put together a balanced drive fueled by a pair of receptions by redshirt senior fullback Derek Watt, as well as a consistent running game fueled by both Deal and Ogunbowale.

The score, a 12-yard catch by Austin Traylor, marked the thirdstraight week the senior tight end caught a touchdown, starting with his first touchdown two weeks ago against Miami.

“It’s awesome to see what Austin’s doing this season. He put a lot of time in this offseason, to working on his hands and catching balls everyday. He’s not dropping many this year, he’s kinda locked in,” Watt said.

Wisconsin continued their one score per quarter routine early in the fourth on another run-heavy drive, running seven times and passing only once. The difference between this drive and the rest was that multi-threat redshirt senior Tanner McEvoy came in and ran the wildcat, picking up 15 yards on two carries.

Ogunbowale hit paydirt with a nine-yard scamper that finalized the score at 28-0.

While the Badgers’ final offensive drive was when the backups came in, a small story emerged.

Freshman Alec Ingold rushed for 60 yards in his first week playing on the offensive side. For the previous portion of the year, Ingold was a linebacker.

For the third consecutive game, the Badger defense acted as Camp Randall’s bouncer, denying the opponent access to the end zone.

The unit has faced adversity in the form of injury, and against Troy, ejections, but in the last 12 quarters it has allowed only three points. This may spur momen-

kaitlyn veto/the daily cardinal

Redshirt freshman Taiwan Deal rushed for 147 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 26 carries Saturday night. tum going forward, but the team doesn’t like to think of it that way.

“Like I’ve said to the guys before, 24-hour rule is you’ve got to focus on Iowa and keep doing the same thing every week in preparation,” senior safety Michael Caputo said.

The Badgers’ out of confer-

ence schedule is over, which means the cupcake teams will stop rolling into Camp Randall.

There have been questions among the media and the Badger faithful over whether the team will be adequately prepared to face off against the physical Big Ten foes after only above average

play against weaker opponents since its season-opening loss to Alabama, but Paul Chryst didn’t seem quite as phased, having nothing to say other than “ready or not, here it comes.”

The Badgers take on Iowa (4-0) at Camp Randall Stadium Saturday, Oct. 3 at 11.
