Barrett to face Walker in recall Mahlon Mitchell receives Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor Sean Kirkby State Politics Editor Mahlon Mitchell, president of the Professional Firefighters of Wisconsin, received the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor and will now face Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch in the June 5 recall election.

According to the Associated Press, based on preliminary election results, Mitchell received 52 percent of the vote. Isaac Weix, who ran as a placeholder candidate to ensure a primary election, received 26 percent. Ira Robins, a Milwaukee private investigator, received 22 percent.

“I am humbled, honored and privileged to win this thing,” Mitchell said, telling supporters at Moe’s Tavern in Madison he could not have done this without them. “There was no way in – I’ve got to stop cursing – no

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett will appear on the June 5 general election ballot against Gov. Scott Walker in a recall race after gaining more than 5 0 percent of the vote during Tuesday’s primary election.

Barrett: Wis. needs governor to end ‘ideological war’; GOP attacks economic track record Mike Kujak State Legislative Editor

Tara Golshan Reporter After a month-long campaign, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett emerged from Tuesday’s primary recall election as the Democratic candidate for governor.

Barrett received 55 percent of the primary vote, with former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk receiving 37 percent. The Associated Press called the election for Barrett just before 9 p.m., an hour after the polls closed.

“Tonight, I am humbled by and grateful for the support of Wisconsinites across our great state,” Barrett told supporters in Milwaukee.

“We need a governor who will end the civil war and put Wisconsin first. It’s time to fix Wisconsin and move our state forward.”

Barrett also thanked the candidates running against him in the primary race, congratulating Falk, Sen. Kathleen Vinehout, D-Alma, and Secretary

of State Doug LaFollette on their “incredibly hardfought” campaigns. Vinehout received 4 percent of the vote and La Follette 3 percent.

During his election party remarks, Barrett emphasized a promise to end the “ideological war” he said Walker brought to the state.

“We have all witnessed what has happened over the last 16 months, with Gov. [Scott] Walker starting an ideological war across the state,” Barrett said. “I’ve never seen a situation like this. Neighbors not talking to each other. Turning family members against family members. It doesn’t have to be that way in Wisconsin.”

Barrett’s wife Kris and their five children took the stage before his announcement, thanking the people of Wisconsin for taking the first step toward putting Barrett in the governor’s chair.

“We as a family are so ready to take this on,” Kris Barrett said. “Because of you we can restore the trust in state government. We

way in hell, heck all, that I thought I would be standing up here before you talking about lieutenant governor.”

Mitchell said he looked at the upcoming recall election as the National Football League playoffs and that he has made it past the first and second round.

He said the Super Bowl is coming June 5.

He told supporters the primary victory means nothing if the Democrats do not win the recall election. He said his supporters have to get their message out there and to keep up the pressure so he and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, who will face Gov. Scott Walker, “can give them hell.”

Gubernatorial candidate and Secretary of State Doug La Follette also spoke to the crowd and told supporters it will be a tough election as the

can put Tom Barrett in the governor’s office with the values the state really wants.”

Introduced by her husband and former Wisconsin politician, Peter Bock, Falk thanked her supporters in Madison for their backing and attributed the successes of the recall efforts to the energy and force provided by her supporters.

“I respect the decisions of

my fellow Democrats and I have called to congratulate Tom on his victory tonight,” Falk said in her concessions speech. “I give my full support in this race against Scott Walker to Tom and I urge you to do the same. “ According to Falk, Barrett’s campaign focuses on the “real needs” of the state in both job creation and

Democrats move on to general Senate election Sean Kirkby State Politics Editor All four Senate-aspiring Democrats defeated placeholder candidates in recall primaries Tuesday and will go on to face Republican senators in a set of general elections that may change the Senate’s majority party.

According to the Associated Press, based on preliminary results, Lori

Compas won the Democratic Senate primary for the district of Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, with 72 percent of the vote, defeating Gary Ellerman, who received 28 percent of the vote.

Rep. Donna Seidel, D-Wausau, defeated James Buckley for the district of former Sen. Pam Galloway, R-Wausau, with 64 percent to Buckley’s 36 percent.

John Lehman defeated Tamra Varebrook for the district of Sen. Van Wanggaard, R-Racine, with 68 percent of the vote.

Varebrook received 32 percent.

Kristen Dexter won the primary for the district of Sen. Terry Moulton, R-Chippewa Falls, with 64 percent of the vote. James Engel received 36 percent of the vote.

“I’m grateful that my supporters got out in large numbers and helped me beat the fake Democrat,” Dexter said.

She said her campaign will focus on voter turnout and helping voters understand how Moulton’s policies have hurt middle class families, small business and students.

Moulton campaign spokesman Matt Capristo said in a statement the

reforms Moulton has pursued have benefited the state.

“Voters now have a clear choice — take Wisconsin back to billion dollar tax increases, multi-billion dollar budget deficits and historic job losses under Kristen Dexter or continue moving forward with balanced budgets, declining property taxes and an economy on the rise with Terry Moulton,” Capristo said in a statement.

However, Democratic candidates have not raised as much money as the Republican senators. As of May 5, according to the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, Fitzgerald had raised more than $712,000, compared to Compas who had raised about $105,000.

Wanggaard had raised about $252,000 to Lehman’s

Risser: Educational access key INSIDE to young generation’s growth Sean Kirkby State Politics Editor Last Saturday, as thousands of students turned out for the Mifflin Street Block Party, Sen. Fred Risser, D-Madison, celebrated his 85th birthday.

As the longest-serving state legislator in the nation, Risser recently announced he will again seek re-election. He sat down with The Badger Herald to reflect on the past session and the more than half-century he has spent in the Legislature.

The Badger Herald: Recently, you were appointed to the Special Committee on Review of

Higher Education Financial Aid Programs. What work will this committee accomplish? What do you propose to help ease the cost of tuition?

Fred Risser: I really don’t know what the parameters are. But I can tell you what my goal is. We’re trying to make it possible for those who are otherwise unable to attend a school, the disadvantaged, the minorities, the poor, to attend.

If I could wave a magic wand, I would make it possible for anyone, anyone, with the desire and the ability to get a higher education, to get it regardless of finances.

And I say that from one who went to school on the GI Bill.

I was in World War II, and my entire bill was paid for by the government. It was a great experience. And yet you’re not able to have that experience that I had. It would be wonderful if you had that experience.

It would be wonderful, if anyone with the desire and the ability [could have that experience,] because there’s no thing more important to society than educating its people. An educated society is one that is going to be a successful society.

Checker, who is the current vice chief justice, said he feels he has been a part of SJ long enough to understand the process.

He said as the chief justice he will be assertive and focused on maintaining the strength of the branch and asserting its autonomy in regard to other ASM branches and UW’s administration.

“From the beginning I have asserted my independence in thought … and I really do care about the process that we have here,” he said. “My singular focus as chair will be maintaining the integrity of this branch of student government.”

Checker said he will work to emulate Fifield’s example set as chief justice and that he will also

act in the position through his views of “pragmatic restraint” and belief in delegation.

“My singular focus as chair will be maintaining the integrity of this branch of student government.”

Nick Checker Vice Chief Justice

Ho, who was elected as the next vice chief justice without any opponents, said he is excited to have a leadership position and that he sees the position as an “internal coordinator”

for SJ. He said he will use his legal background to inform his actions.

Stevens, who ran for SEC chair again after losing the chair position to Checker, said he realized over the past few weeks that he has “a lot of heart left” for the position.

“It’s been a little bit of a baby to me, and I would love to keep nurturing it and making sure that it grows well into a healthy organization,” he said.

He said in continuing with this role he hopes to give the position more “soft power” and use it to change the culture of elections on campus. One way would be to focus on election violations, stressing to candidates that such practices are not worth it.

Regarding the ASM

election rules for fall 2012, Stevens sponsored the resolution that tweaked the version used for the last student government elections.

The resolution, which SJ passed, mainly changed language surrounding the violation of “chalking,” changing the rules to specify that candidates may not use aerosol or spray chalk when campaigning and that chalkboards are off-limits.

Fifield, who has been the SJ chief justice for about two years, said it is a little strange to be moving on but she is confident in the body’s future prospects.

“We’ve all worked really hard and I am very confident that everyone who is left behind is going to do a great job,” she said.

Campus leaders urge UW students to vote in recall College Dems, GOP argue upcoming general election will impact campus Kelsey Ryan Herald Contributor Yesterday’s primary election for the recall of Gov. Scott Walker saw students heading to the polls on campus and across the state, culminating the work from political student groups at the University of Wisconsin and serving as the next step toward the general election in June.

The UW College Democrats and College Republicans both put in effort leading up to the decisive election to encourage student participation, and the groups have plans to continue doing so leading up to upcoming elections this summer and fall.

For the College Democrats, outreach included making calls to its member list, sending out emails, ensuring its members knew when the elections were and making sure members knew they did not need a voter ID to vote, College Democrats Chair Chris Hoffman said.

Hoffman said that, without a doubt, last night’s election — which secured a face-off between Walker and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett in June — will have a large impact on students across the state.

“It’s very important,

Like the College Democrats, Snow said his organization prepared for the primary by tabling and handing out flyers. He said the College Republicans have been doing a lot to focus not just on campus voters, but also on state-wide campaigning.

One factor in student turnout was voter ID, which was not necessary to vote in the primary election due to two injunctions on the recently passed legislation.

Hoffman said he thought

the lack of need for voter ID would prove helpful in increasing the student vote as it would eliminate “one of the biggest hurdles.”

UW professor of public affairs and political science Susan Webb Yackee agreed.

“I think being turned away at the polls can be a real turnoff. It can turn young people off from voting,” Yackee said. “I think that’s an important message to show.”

Snow expressed concerns for the timing of the recall general election. He said because the general elections will be held in June when students might not be on campus, it is important to make sure students will still be voting.

As a result, he said the College Republicans will now focus on making sure students have absentee ballots or are registered to vote in their hometowns.

Yesterday, all students were able to register for absentee ballots for the election in June as well as the presidential election at the polls.

Yackee said looking to the future, she predicts a higher student turnout in June as compared to the primary, despite the obstacle of students being away from school.

“To speculate, I would say that we’re probably going to see higher student turnout in the general election rather than [yesterday’s] primary election,” Yackee said.

She said she thinks this is true because, ultimately, students have likely made up their mind on whether they support Walker or not.

because we need to select a candidate who will represent the students, unlike Gov. Walker,” Hoffman said.

As for the College Republicans at UW, Chair Jeff Snow said the group also believes the results from the primary will have some of the largest effects on the state of Wisconsin as a whole. He correctly predicted Barrett would take the Democratic Party’s nomination and added June’s election will have “huge consequences” for students across Wisconsin.

“To speculate, I would say that we’re probably going to see higher student turnout in the general election.”

Council critiqued for texts, emails City officials face heat after complaint sparks investigation into technology use at meetings Adrianna Viswanatha City Hall Editor City Council members have come under fire for text messages and emails sent during meetings that could potentially violate a state statute on open meetings.

According to Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, the Wisconsin State Journal pursued an open records request for emails and text messages between City Council members for the past year after an incident involving personal emails sent during council meetings between Ald. Brian Solomon, District 10, and an employee in the City Clerk’s office more than a year ago.

Robert Dreps, attorney with Godfrey & Kahn, said there has not currently been a violation of the open meetings law by City Council members, but there is a question of both law and protocol with the messages being sent between members during meetings.

“This is a question of dispute of the law and whether the law is keeping up to date with changing technology and for a practical matter of appearances,” Dreps said.

“The public may consider it rude if the council members were constantly whispering to each other, but instead they’re tapping on their personal devices.”

City Attorney Michael May said the law requires, with specified exceptions, that governmental bodies conduct their meetings in places that are open to the public.

May said the numerous ways in which officials are able to communicate today over a variety of electronic media were not taken into account when the law was written, and people may feel unclear about the specific implementation of the law.

“Because there are emails, chat rooms, Facebook … this is instantaneous communication,” May said. “If you use them and you get the quorum of a governmental body, that would violate [the open meetings law].”

Ald. Lisa Subeck, District 1, said she occasionally sends emails or text messages during City Council

meetings, but her use is limited when compared to some of her colleagues.

She said she tends to use electronic media to communicate when, for example, she wants her cosponsors to be prepared for any change she may make to resolutions under discussion.

“The reality is, a walking quorum can happen whether or not emails, texts or even phone calls are being made,” Subeck said. “I think the risk [of a walking quorum] is probably higher outside a meeting.”

She said texts and emails between council members are subject to the open records law, so the information can be obtained, unlike in a conversation between two alders who have stepped outside the conference room to talk.

May said he had previously conferred with state legislators about potentially tightening or changing the rules of the open meetings law to be more relevant to the times and technology, though the suggestion was met with a weak response.

“The main thing is, it’s a legal and a policy question as to how you keep up with changing technology.”

Michael May City Attorney

“The main thing is, it’s a legal and a policy question as to how you keep up with changing technology,” May said.

Subeck said nothing has been brought to light from council members’ electronic interactions that violates the open meetings or open records laws.

However, she said it is important for all members to remain conscientious of how texts and email are used and that their interactions are included in the open records law.

“Certainly in this day and age with texts and email, it is the way we communicate in this generation,” Subeck said.

“It would be impractical for us not to have access to it.”

BARRETT, from 1 education.

In effort to get the state “back on track,” Falk urged her supporters to unify under Barrett.

“This movement needs the passion of all of you that have worked so hard and so long to make this recall happen. If we all keep working together, stay united, in 28 days, we get our state back on track,” Falk said.

According to Bock, although the Falk campaign is undoubtedly disappointed with the primary results, they are looking forward optimistically. He said the supporters are going to regroup and get behind Barrett.

With Walker easily winning the Republican primary with 97 percent of the vote, he will now face Barrett in the general election June 5.

A statement from Walker’s campaign said Barrett will be entering the general election in his “soonto-be third statewide losing campaign.”

The statement also criticized Barrett’s economic record in

Barrett has served as mayor of Milwaukee since 2004. He also ran for governor in November 2010, losing 47 percent to 52 percent to Walker.

The most recent polling of the race, conducted last Wednesday by the Marquette Law School, shows Walker leading

Barrett by 1 percentage point, which falls within the poll’s margin of error.

Thirty minutes before the polls closed, the Wisconsin GOP released a statement condemning Barrett’s record and said tonight’s election was “proof many Democrats are still not convinced he is the right candidate to challenge Walker.”

No preliminary polling numbers had been reported when the statement was put out.

Placeholder candidate Gladys Huber received less than 1 percent of the vote.

Walker defeated Arthur Kohl-Riggs in the Republican primary.

An uneducated society is not going to be a successful society.

BH: Would you support a cap on tuition increases?

FR: I have supported a cap in the past and I would like to see tuition going the other direction, rather than having a cap.

I’m not sure what the answer is. I think one of the answers is that in many of the professions, we could somehow provide for tax credits for those who maybe stay in the state.

I think we’ve got to keep flexible. Maybe there’s a way in which you pay by the credit rather than by the year.

Or maybe there’s a way in which certain fields we want to encourage — nursing or doctor or something — where we cut the education costs.

I don’t think that a cap is going to be a solution. I support that if it was the way to go, but I think we ought to look outside the box on this whole thing.

BH: How long has your family served in the Legislature?

FR: Take a look at that picture up there. Four generations. Let me tell you the story — I’ll be very brief. Now this is myself with hair on my head. And I’m the only Democrat in that picture.

This is my dad. He spent 12 years in the state Senate as a Progressive, when the Progressives were in charge. My grandfather, my mother’s father, Ernest Warner, after whom Warner Park was named, authored the original civil service act in the state. He was a La Follette Republican. And my great-grandfather, who lost an arm in the Civil War, served in both the

Democrats are facing millions of dollars of out-of-state money.

“But we’ve got the people, and we’ve got the right, and you’ve got a great candidate here to help,” La Follette said.

In a statement following Mitchell’s win, Kleefisch said she first ran for the office two years ago to help balance the state’s budget and put the state’s economy back to work.

“Working together, we have balanced the budget and laid the foundation for moving Wisconsin’s economy forward,” Kleefisch said in the statement. “We can’t afford to turn back now to the job-killing tax increases embraced

by Barrett and Mitchell.

Wisconsin needs to keep moving forward.”

Robins said in an interview with The Badger Herald nothing will change if Barrett and Mitchell are elected and said the “same old” politics will continue.

According to Robins’ website, he ran a campaign without accepting or requesting donations. His plan for the state would have allowed elected officials to still receive contributions but would have prohibited them from participating in any matter involving any person or entity who contributed to their campaign.

Now, people say, has your ancestry changed? No. We’ve been Progressives all the way through.

We represented the Progressive viewpoint. The Democrats were once the most conservative party in the state. Every one of my ancestors, I’m proud to say, were supportive of education, the general public. The parties changed.

I’m very proud of my ancestry, and I was actually born with a political spoon in my mouth. No question about it. It was a subject of dinner time conversation.

My mother was the granddaughter of a state legislator, the daughter of a state legislator, wife of a state legislator and the mother of a state legislator.

And there are not too many people like that in the country.

BH: When you look back at your career, what would you consider the most drastic changes in the Legislature between 1956 and now?

FR: I can remember when I served in the Legislature and there were only white men, no women, no minorities. It was all white men. … So one of the big changes, of course, is more diversity in the Legislature, and between one-fourth and one-third of the legislators are women.

We have AfricanAmericans, both male and female, in both houses of the Legislature. We have some Latinos. In other words, we have a much more diversified Legislature now than we did, which is good. I think it should be more diversified.

And it’s too bad, but with Barrett and with Mahlon Mitchell, nothing will change, if they’re elected,” Robins said. “I really could’ve done a nice job for the citizens, and they would have been happy, and I would’ve been honored to work for them. But now there will not be any changes at all with the crap that goes on in our government.”

The Badger Herald | Opinion | Wednesday, May 9, 2012

Truth needed in political rhetoric Joe Timmerman Columnist To say that political rhetoric has been heating up over the past several years would be a massive understatement.

As the differences between the two parties have grown greater in number, the language used by both has grown stronger. This, in and of itself, is not inherently bad.

However, this heated rhetoric has been accompanied by an increasingly common use of half-truths and outright falsehoods in political discourse. Politicians should know better than to tell anything but the whole truth, but the responsibility for bringing truth back to political discourse belongs also to the media who report the lies and the public who believe them.

Of the 19 most recent claims rated by PolitiFact Wisconsin, one has been rated true, five have been rated half-true, five have been rated mostly false, five have been rated false and two have been rated “pants on fire.” This is not a good track record. In the interest of presenting the entire

truth, I’ll be clear that I’m not implying only one out of every 19 claims by politicians are true — clearly PolitiFact is interested in fact-checking dubious statements. However, other states, like Ohio, have had five out of 18 statements rated true. While it’s a problem all across the country, the lack of truth in politics is especially problematic in Wisconsin.

It’s important to note that less-than-true statements come from both sides of the political spectrum. On one day, former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk claims that women no longer can “do something about it” if they are experiencing pay discrimination — false.

The next, Gov. Scott Walker asserts, “We gave every public employee in the state the freedom to choose whether or not they want to be in a union” — false. Then Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett makes the accusation that Walker “has caused Wisconsin to lose more jobs than any other state in the country” — halftrue. Not to be outdone, Rep. Paul Ryan, chair of the House Budget Committee, alleges that President Barack Obama “has doubled the size of government since he took office” — pants on fire. The problem is not limited to either party.

So whose responsibility is it to fix the problem? It

Untrue political rhetoric can be found coming from liberals, including Kathleen Erroneous claims also come from the right, like Gov. Scott Walker’s claim that Falk’s blunder that women cannot get recourse if they face pay discrimination. he let all public employees choose whether or not they wanted to be in a union. starts with the politicians themselves — after all, they’re the ones making the statements in the first place.

They should know better. As leaders entrusted with making decisions for the people who elected them, it’s entirely reasonable to expect them to tell the truth. However, one could argue that politicians are only doing what gets them elected.

If voters started to hold politicians accountable for lying at the polls, then those in office would learn how to tell the truth very quickly. So some of the responsibility falls to voters, as well, to hold

politicians accountable for what they say. On the other hand, not every voter has the resources and time at his or her disposal to tell fact from fiction.

Most of all, the responsibility falls on news media. The media are how voters get their information and if the media allow politicians to lie, it becomes hard for voters to tell what’s true from what isn’t. Of course, some statements are neither fact nor fiction but opinion and the media have no responsibility for those.

However, when politicians claim, for example, that

Obama is not a natural-born citizen, the media need to add that this is simply not true.

There is a valid worry that this could lead to the politicization of reporting.

If done correctly, though, this need not be the case.

It’s perfectly acceptable for the news media to stay out of contentious issues on which the jury is still out. But if Walker says that all Wisconsonites can choose whether or not to be in a union or if Falk says that women have no way of seeking compensation if they experience pay discrimination, the media

need to call them out.

None of this will be easy. It requires efforts by all parties to help restore truth and integrity to political discourse.

But if politicians live up to their duties as public servants, voters recognize the power of their vote and the news media appreciate their ability to propagate lies, it can be done.

Farewell to my muse, my place to opine, Madison Jeff Schultz Staff Writer Hello all, I’m hesitant to write a farewell column, because I haven’t officially graduated.

I still need to pass a required gym class, which is somewhat iffy for me. But, at the risk of angering the physical education gods, I’d like to take the time to thank those who have contributed to my columns over the past year. Don’t worry. I’ll keep it pithy, like Bill O’Reilly tells me to.

I, of course, wouldn’t

be writing for The Badger Herald if it weren’t for the paper’s opinion page editors. When they asked me to write for the paper, they gave me a chance to express my views. If I didn’t write for The Badger Herald, I’d drive my roommate crazy ranting about Scott Walker and Barack Obama. My roommate and I thank you, opinion page editors.

And to my muse, Madison — we’ve had our ups and downs, but we’re still here, babe. Honestly, I haven’t always liked Madison. In fact, there’ve been times when I’ve downright hated her. She can be cold and unforgiving. But Madison is for me what Dublin was for Joyce: the place where pain generates inspiration.

However, my true

inspiration comes from my parents. They encouraged me when I doubted myself, and they criticized me when I got too cocky. They gave me advice on what to write about and, to my chagrin, bragged about my writing on Facebook. It’s been a tough four years, Mom and Dad, but the end is in sight.

I’m glad I came, but just the same, I must be going.

La la.”

A year ago today, students were in the middle of finals, The Badger Herald was done printing for the semester and all was right in the world.

The Opinion Page had run its infamous end of semester headliner awards, which included Rep. Brett Hulsey’s, D-Madison, “Balls Deep” award, and Ald. Bridget Maniaci’s, District 2, “My 2 Daddys” award.

Departing Editor-in-Chief Kevin “papa” Bargnes had written his farewell column, and Editorial Board member Jake Begun had published his last piece for the year accusing Republicans of suppressing Democratic voters.

“The semester that was” reflected on a year rocked by Gov. Scott Walker’s budget repair bill, former Chancellor Biddy Martin’s Badger Partnership and a District 8 win for Scott Resnick.

The highlight of the Herald’s last edition for the semester, though, was Twenty Pound Baby’s wishing you a nice summer.

First they came for the pennies, And the opinion page editors didn’t speak out because they were economically nonsensical.

Then they came for the nickels, And the opinion page editors didn’t speak out because we didn’t buy anything that cost less than 10 cents.

Then they came for the dimes, And the opinion page editors didn’t speak out because we don’t even remember whose face was on them.

Then they came for the quarters, And now the opinion page editors can’t do laundry.

Active Minds dedicated to dispelling mental health stigmas

Katie Foran-McHale ArtsEtc. Staff Writer

An estimated one in four Americans suffers from a mental health disorder, but less than half seek treatment, largely due to societal stigmas surrounding psychological issues.

One University of Wisconsin student organization hopes to help change this alarming statistic.

UW psychology majors Mary Frances Martinco and Thomas Murphy revamped Active Minds, a student-run mental health awareness, education and advocacy organization, last fall to increase dialogue about these issues.

Martinco, having dealt with anxiety upon coming to the university in 2009, is no stranger to stigma. “I struggled a little, especially coming to college. It was a really hard transition for me, and I know that it is for a lot of other people, but I never really felt like I could talk about it, because I didn’t understand that other people were feeling the same way,” she said. “I didn’t know what I could to do get help on campus.”

Although University Health Services offers individual and group counseling, Martinco said the unending enthusiasm that tends to revolve around UW can lead to people struggling with mental health issues and disorders to stay silent, or worse, to exacerbate their problems and make them question their self-worth. A lack of exposure to information about disorders can also spark victim-blaming mentalities.

“Especially on this campus, it’s such a party school, it’s so much about having fun all the time. I feel like there’s not much of a sense that maybe people aren’t

having that great experience,” she said. “And there’s just like a big deal when you come to college that everything’s going to be perfect, the time of your life. I just feel like people who have depression, or anxiety or anything, they just don’t feel like it’s normal.”

Spreading awareness UW Active Minds has hosted an array of awareness-boosting events throughout the year, featuring hot cocoa giveaways, stress relievers and more.

In March, UW Active Minds, the National Alliance on Mental Illness-UW and UW Suicide Prevention joined forces with Redamte Coffee House to host an evening of music, poetry and artwork to spread awareness about the effect of mental health issues on the UW campus.

Performers, including members of a cappella groups Fundamentally Sound and Tangled Up in Blue, shared their stories. And student artwork, as well as a board where attendees could share how mental health related to their lives, was on display throughout the month.

“I feel like expressing yourself is very important,” Martinco said.

“People are scared of what’s going on in other people’s minds, or in their own minds.”

The group also works closely with UHS to improve student accessibility to mental health services on small and large scales.

Previously, when a student called the mental health crisis line at UHS, the first question the call operator would immediately ask them was their student ID number.

“We thought that was a little impersonal, so we got that

changed,” she said. The group is also working on trying to make it easier for students to make appointments and building a resource list for offcampus mental health providers.

Currently, UHS has a cap on the number of individual counseling sessions a student can attend, which may be frustrating for students who need long-term attention.

Stress relief UW Active Minds also focuses on stress management and relief for the student population. The group celebrated National Stress Out Day in April by handing out stress balls to students at Union South, but with finals just around the corner, Martinco is coordinating a large-scale stress reliever Friday at noon — “The Scream.”

She and other Active Minds members will be stationed atop Bascom Hill. If at around noon, you find yourself thinking, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore” pouring over papers and textbooks, you can let it all out with a synchronized scream.

Martinco recommended exercise, lots of sleep and venting to friends as tools for getting through finals week unscathed.

“My mother always tells me to work out, and I never listen to her. But whenever I do, it really helps a lot. So I encourage people to do that,” she said. “At least take a break and do something you like once in awhile. If it’s rewarding yourself with a couple hours of trashy TV or something like that, … just reward yourself for the time you put in.”

Getting help Some problems cannot be solved with a scream about finals.

But none can be solved with silence.

Activeminds.org offers resources for students struggling with mental health problems, as well as strategies for students who are worried about a friend.

The three most important things a friend can do, the website says, are talk with them without judgment, share their concern by helping their friend get support from someone with mental health expertise and take care of themselves.

“If you notice something’s not quite right with your friends, just ask them, and then listen. Don’t judge them; just listen openly to what they say. If they’re your friend, they will really value what you tell them,” Martinco said.

“Always offer to go with them to UHS. But you can’t necessarily be your friend’s therapist for the sake of your own mental health.”

UHS offers 24-hour crisis intervention for students or for those concerned about a student at (608) 265-5600 ext. 9.

Moving forward Next fall, Active Minds hopes to offer a one-credit internship program, where interns would be involved in planning events, hearing a speaker on a mental health topic and how they relate to college students each week.

Martinco said the group focuses on positive psychology.

Involvement with UW Active Minds, she said, gave her an opportunity to help others that she could not have found elsewhere.

“I wanted to help, but I didn’t know how, and finding this organization gave me the drive I needed, knowing I would have support,” she said.

For more information about the group or how to get involved, email uwactiveminds@gmail.com.

Finals week can be a stressful time for some. Active Minds provides support for students feeling the crunch.

12th Planet to take stage at Majestic tonight Dubstep act ready for dose of Madison’s beer, cheese, EDM affiinity Sam Berg ArtsEtc. Reporter Many have seen the people ambling down streets with their hands in the air and glow sticks on their necks. Those witnesses have seen dubstep. During the past several months, Madison has seen bighitting bass purveyors like Rusko and Bassnectar paint the town neon. Tonight, we have another contender for glory: 12th Planet.

John Dadzie, as he’s known offstage, has been making music for more than a decade. He has come far

since his early years as a youth who was too big for his britches.

“When I was 18 I told myself by the time I was 25 I should be a millionaire, but that kind of didn’t happen,” Dadzie said. “I worked at Gamestop at one point. I just decided that if I don’t do this, then I’m fucked, really.

I was just chilling and DJing on the side. The drum ‘n’ bass thing picked up really well though.”

From the ‘90s and into the early ‘00s, electronic music has undergone remarkable change. Dadzie has kept his tastes in tune with this progression while keeping hints of his old taste on the road to dubstep prominence.

“I come from a hardcore and drum ‘n’ bass background so it was just the logical progression.

I’ve been kind of part of the third wave of drum ‘n’ bass and so that’s been [the] focus of my sound,” Dadzie said.

After years of producing drum ‘n’ bass under the moniker Infiltrata, Dadzie took hold on the explosive wave of dubstep that has been taking the nation by storm. With his change in sound came the adoption of his new alias, 12th Planet (the title of a pseudoscientific book by Zecharia Sitchin).

“I’ve been producing under the name 12th Planet since like 2006,” Dadzie said. “My crew out here [in Los Angeles] will have dubstep parties in the LA area. We’re probably one of the first five or six crews in the area who will host dubstep parties. It kind of just grew into popularity

with the genre. I just kind of went with it.”

At this point in his career, Dadzie is living every aspiring house DJ’s dream.

He’s worked with acts like Skrillex and approaches his music with the laid-back confidence of Lil Wayne after a healthy dose of sizzurp.

“I’m thinking about bacon, bitch, straight up,” Dadzie said, describing his attitude going into production. “I’ll experiment, just playing around with all the new toys, all the new software. Something cool happens and the light bulb comes on.”

In a town overflowing with shaking bass lines and squeaking synthesizers, it is not hard to wonder whether the explosive genre is hitting a creative wall.

Dazdie sees no limits to

dubstep’s creative potential.

“That’s the beautiful thing about dubstep.

It’s like a melting pot of different genres,” Dadzie said. “Regardless if you like guitars or electronics, it’s going to be dubstep. With people like James Blake making it, I think it’ll just continue to draw influences from other genres and just go with the trends and last forever.”

Like alternative rock and progressive rock, Dadzie feels dubstep is building the foundation for new sounds yet to be heard by listeners.

“It’s already shown an influence in multiple different genres. I think it’s just going to become another part of music. It’s just an alternative to house music,” Dadzie said.

The audience in Madison will witness 12th Planet’s

inaugural performance in the city. While he has never been here before, Dadzie is excited for a crowd of Wisconsinites who have garnered an understandable reputation.

“I’m looking forward to meeting a bunch of Badgers,” Dadzie said. “They like cheese, dubstep and beer. It’s really great coming into a college town. They’re really starting to embrace the dubstep stuff.

“Man, I wanna take some cheese and spray it all over everybody, but that’s already been done here. Just expect a lot of good tunes and old tunes, good times and beer spillage.”

12th Planet performs tonight at the Majestic Theater. Tickets are $22 at the door. Doors open at 8 p.m. and the show begins at 9 p.m. Also playing: Von.

THE BADGER HERALD PRESENTS HUMP DAY

Why different strokes for different-gendered folks?

— we’re only going to touch on the dynamic of heterosexual, cisgender relations.

Myth #1: Men are hornier than women Sam Johnson Hump Day Columnist I have a theory about men and women. A theory, specifically, about how men and women have sex and why they relate to one another in the bedroom the way that they do. Call it social construction, call it biology, call it whatever the hell you want, but let’s be frank: Men and women are different. Not in all ways, but when it comes to bumpin’ and grinding — or, as I like to call it, “bumping pretties” — there are some fundamental differences between the sexes.

Before I get to my own theory, let’s take a look at a few that have contributed to the misconceptions and ingrained their way into our cultural and social knowledge sets. Just a disclaimer before we get going

Parts of this sentiment are true. Men do tend to masturbate more often than women do, and men typically have more sexual thoughts per day than women do.

However, contrary to the popularly held belief, men do not think about sex every seven seconds. How ridiculous would that be?! That’s one sexual thought for every two breaths!

Personally, I think it’s insulting to believe there’s not much else going on in guy’s heads. But the truth is, women are sexual beings too, and in some ways, even more sexual. Meredith Chivers, one of the leading ladies of human sexuality research, decided to entertain the question of horniness. She hooked up 300 straight men and women to either penile strain gauges or vaginal photoplethysmographs while

showing the participants various media. The guys got off to the images of femaleon-female pornography and straight couples having sex, but not to the landscape scenery, gay porn or monkeys boinking. The women?

Everything but the landscapes got them hot and bothered.

Myth #2: It’s just evolution Men need to spread their seed. We all know how this theory goes — men can produce millions upon millions of sperm, and women just get one shot a month at reproduction. Therefore, men are supposed to hump and dump as many vaginas as possible to secure as many genetic lines as possible.

But this theory does not work for a few reasons. One — by that line of reasoning, the same would hold true for women. In order for a woman to ensure a pregnancy each month, she should be trying to jam as much splooge in as possible. Two — men don’t have unlimited

sperm available to them at a moment’s tug. Sperm count decreases with each consecutive ejaculation if the pecker doesn’t get time to rest.

Three — knocking someone up is one thing, but there’s a big bad wilderness out there.

A man may do best to stick around and look out for his youngin’ to make sure they actually grow up to be healthy and strong. I’ve also heard this theory used to justify rape by drawing parallels from the animal kingdom. “Ever watched ‘Animal Planet?’” they say. “It’s chock full of rape.”

Uhh, okay. Dogs eat their own shit. I’d like to think we have more advanced thought processes than any other animal on this planet.

Myth #3: It’s easier for men to orgasm False. In fact, this myth is so false that the complete opposite is actually true.

While most people with penises have to wait for their refractory period to expire before they’re ready for round two, women don’t

need a refractory period. Ever heard of multiple orgasms?

While nearly all women have been instilled with the gift of multiple orgasms, very few men have. I suspect the reason people believe this myth is because of something called “the orgasm gap.” In heterosexual encounters, men climax three-fourths of the time while women only come 29 percent of the time.

Sound familiar? Interestingly, women have orgasms about 85 percent of the time in their solo sessions or sex sessions with other women.

So here is my theory: Men and women are differently motivated to seek pleasure due to their differing levels of attainable satisfaction from sexual acts. Let me explain.

Female orgasms rule. They are just the bees’ knees. The female orgasm is a much more full-body experience than the male orgasm — they last about twice as long and the rhythmic contractions are stronger. Some compare it to experiencing nirvana.

And yes, male orgasms sound

great, but something about them just seems so much more shallow. Men do have the option of prostate orgasm, but few choose to utilize it.

Female orgasms start from deep within the body and radiate out. Sure, they take longer to reach — about 10-20 minutes versus 2-10 minutes for guys. But the reward is so, so good. And because we are familiar with the orgasm gap, women are aware of this deal they make to sleep with men — seven times out of 10, we’re not going to come.

So a lot of the time, sex can just seem less “worth it” to us. Add gender policing and slut-shaming to that equation, and a single gal is much less likely to appease the requests of that cute guy at the bar if she’s not going to gain much from it. Men and women play by different rules because they are playing for very different prizes.

College Life [An oral history] Part 3: ‘What if I could redo the whole reality format?’

Interviews have been edited, condensed and arranged by topic to allow a coherent story to emerge.

DAVID WEXLER (show creator, writer, producer): I never really wanted to work on reality shows, but I thought, “What if I could redo the whole reality format?” I came up with this tagline, you know, “You’ve seen

reality; this is real.” So to me, that was sort of compelling, because, whether you know it or not, this whole reality craze, people sort of started falling in love with the documentary again. I don’t think enough was said about that.

JAMES FRANZONE (area coordinator for UW Housing): It never really felt like it was grounded at UWMadison. Because they could only film inside their rooms because the university had limited what they could show. I remember one scene when one of our residents was in a library,

but it was the Edgewood library.

We could tell that.

really difficult thing that you wouldn’t realize.

TRICIA DICKINSON (marketing director, UW Communications): We did not allow them to film on campus. Some of the b-roll you see are actually shot at Edgewood College.

JASON SMATHERS (managing editor for The Badger Herald in fall 2008): We saw some of the trailers and I think we started spotting things like, “Oh, that’s definitely not a dorm room here.” I don’t know if that was ever figured out, but it seemed like some of the shots that were taken were definitely of dorms elsewhere. I could have sworn I saw a Mizzou character somewhere. I was like, what the hell, did they think no one would catch that?

DAVID WEXLER: You have to work on story arcs. As much as this was real — and it was, there was nothing reenacted; it was as real as reality shows get. But you still need story producers to help mold and help tell the story. To tell the story is a

JAMES FRANZONE: At times we would look at it and go — you’d see stuff in windows and go — “I think that’s the University of Missouri showing right now.”

It was never really Madison.

a little disappointing. We were getting a little bit of the curtain pulled back from reality TV. ANDREA ENDRIES (cast member): They were honest; they did portray my life. I mean, everything I filmed, everything they showed, was all my footage.

Like, that’s all true. But what’s interesting to me is how they are capable of editing. … Let’s say I had close to 60 hours of footage, they used about an hour.

You know? So they can take anything they want and chop it up and put things from October with things from December and things from August, and then they can put people’s names in.

[MTV has] the liberty … to do all that. So it’s just, it’s my story, it is! But it’s made more dramatic.

JORDAN ELLERMAN (cast member): I hope I don’t get in trouble [for talking about MTV’s editing], because I’m just going to be 100 percent honest with you, because I don’t really give a shit. So I hope I don’t get in trouble.

But yeah, some of the stuff — you know, it all happened, that’s why they added it, but there were some things as far as my storyline goes that were misrepresented.

JORDAN ELLERMAN: I think they said my mom worked three jobs to put me through college, and that just wasn’t true. … That wasn’t really an issue like they made it seem. They made it seem like I was going out and being selfish and spending all this money on my tattoo when my mom’s working these three jobs to try to put me through college, when in reality I paid for my tattoo with some of the money that I made from the show.

JAMES FRANZONE: We knew when they were faking stuff. They’d show scenes [when there] was a policy violation being confronted. I think there’s a scene when they have the house fellow knocking on the door. Well, they can’t film that so we knew they had recreated it. So it was

KYRA SHISHKO (UW freshman in 2008): [Their portrayal of Jordan was] pretty accurate, from what I knew of him. He took me on a very mediocre date, just like he did with a girl on the show (laughs). But yeah, I mean, Jordan liked to just hang out with friends, partying with friends, he

really likes electronic music and dubstep, and that’s his jam. And he may not have been a particularly interesting character to watch, but I mean, who would? He’s a normal guy.

JORDAN ELLERMAN: There’s one episode where I get, like, super fucking smashed, and I’m, like, drunk as shit on the floor of a bathroom. I’m mumbling into the floor and they subtitled it, but they subtitled it completely wrong. … I was making out with some chick earlier, and they captioned it like I was saying “I could have laid her.”

And I was saying “I could just lay here,” I think. I mean, I’m not a caveman, even when I’m drunk, so I don’t know why I would have said that I could have laid her. Just little things like that.the producer.

PASSION, from 12 might not have something permanent happen to you.

I was 28 years old, I had two kids, but it was that inner voice saying there’s something not right here. I went with that and said I’m going to call it quits.”

Now, as a coach, Eaves doesn’t treat any injury lightly, especially ones concerning concussions.

Not solely due to his own experience, but also from all the research concerning concussions that has developed in recent years, Eaves simply will not let a player back on the ice until they pass all the necessary steps and procedures in recovering from a concussion, no matter the toll it takes on his team.

Plagued with youth last season, the Badgers needed all the upperclassmen leadership they could afford. Unfortunately, one of their most experienced forwards, junior Derek Lee, not only suffered a hand injury, but also suffered a concussion, which caused him to miss the majority of the season.

“I think it helped big time with me because he didn’t want me to rush back because he knew consequences of it,” Lee said. “He was very respectful, making sure that I was ready to come back. He didn’t want me to come back unless I was 100 percent because, like I said, he knows the ins and outs of the consequences of concussions are. Having him tack onto that sort of same thing in his career is sort of beneficial to me and some of the other guys.”

Despite his current struggles between injuries and early departures, through 10 years, Eaves has coached 19 players on to the NHL. He also helped coached three more players that were already on the roster when he first came to UW. Of the 24 players currently playing in the NHL, Eaves has had some sort of influence on 22 of them.

But Eaves is the type of coach to leave his mark. He

has had players come back and thank him for his work and even his current players have plenty of respect for him.

“He has a passion for the game that I’ve never really seen from anyone,” junior defenseman Justin Schultz said. “He loves being around the rink. He’s always looking for new ways to make our team better and make us be better as individuals. It’s just fun to be a part of.”

Lee also reiterated the idea that Eaves influences his players on a personal level and does not just make them better players, but better people.

“I think off the ice is the bigger thing,” Lee said.

“That’s the one thing that people don’t know. All they see is him coaching us on TV. He makes young guys that are coming in at 18 years old that are still out of high school that are not men yet, he kind of shapes us into men and teaches a lot of life lessons too. I know my freshman year I had some ups and downs right at the beginning and he sat me down and let me know and got me through things.

He’s second to none in that aspect.”

A potential return to the NHL With all that Eaves has accomplished through his playing and coaching career, he has often been cited as a potential NHL coach.

Every year there seems to be rumors floating around about whether he will make the jump during that respective offseason.

But, sitting back in his leather chair with a motion W embroidered on the head rest, rocking back and forth, with the new LaBahn Arena taking shape right out his office window, Eaves likes where he is right now.

“There really isn’t a great allure at this time,” Eaves said about the NHL. “I’ve had opportunities earlier in the career and for one reason or another it didn’t work out. I don’t go searching for it. … I am not looking at all for that. What we do here is pretty special anyways.”

GOLD, from 12 any of our hard workouts do.”

At the same time, distance track coach Mick Byrne stressed the importance of Ahmed’s ability to stay grounded despite all of the success he has experienced this year.

“He has had to switch off from being this worldclass athlete that just qualified for the Olympic Games to being a UW student,” Byrne said.

“Now, it’s back to reality, it’s back to having finals.

You have to get grounded pretty quickly.”

While Ahmed’s qualifying run is a tremendous accomplishment for a junior in college, his feat could have benefits for more than just himself.

At a meet with so many high profile runners — as was the case in the

MCCUE, from 12 game starters in 2011, the linebackers — aside from No. 28 — are the two players with the biggest hand in how the Badgers fare next season. With an exceptional ability to both wrap up runners in the backfield and keep up with receivers cutting across midfield, Borland and Taylor are the defensive stalwarts leading an aggressive, proven unit in 2012.

Lining up to the left and right of this dependable duo is a secondary that may allow Wisconsin to finally shake its notorious reputation for surrendering long, downfield passes with little resistance. Despite losing Aaron Henry and Antonio Fenelus to the NFL, a veteran group that includes Shelton Johnson and Marcus Cromartie could help the Badgers counter the spread attacks that have grown increasingly popular in the Big Ten.

“When you take a big meet like the Payton Jordan meet at Stanford [on April 29], we had all

the top middle-distance and distance athletes, not only in the United States, but from all over the world,” Byrne said. “Success like that certainly isn’t going to hurt your program, and high school coaches, because of the mass media now, they can track it online. It’s just excellent exposure for us.”

For a prime example of the recruiting windfall that a well-known program can receive, look no further than Ahmed himself. A track star at St. Catherine’s High School in Ontario, Canada, Ahmed had numerous colleges courting him before he finally chose to come to Madison three years ago.

“The tradition here is definitely one of the reasons that I chose to come here,” Ahmed said.

“There is a great balance between athletics and

academics here.

“Obviously Mick [Byrne] has trained so many great athletes as a coach here, and when I was looking to choose a school, I wanted a coach I could trust, and Mick was that.”

With all the hype surrounding Ahmed and the UW track program, which is now ranked 17th nationally as the team finishes out its season, it may seem like he has not had a chance to celebrate his accomplishment. Still, Ahmed knows that the next few weeks of intense training with the team will only help bring him one step closer to the opportunity of a lifetime this summer in London.

“It’s something that I have thought about for years,” Ahmed said.

“I have worked hard for this, and to get this opportunity is almost like a dream for me.”

Add in a defensive line that, despite losing two reliable starters in Patrick Butrym and Louis Nzegwu, is loaded with size and experience, and 2012 will likely feature the most well-rounded defense to grace the Camp Randall field in years.

It’s no secret that O’Brien, unless he makes unprecedented steps in his game this summer, has no chance at equaling the prolific Wilson-led Wisconsin offense of 2011.

But its most important component in Ball, along with a defensive that offers defensive stalwarts and a wealth of experience, could be the necessary recipe for scaling the stairs to college football’s elite stage.

With an older, revamped Ohio State squad headlined by Urban Meyer’s arrival in Columbus as head coach, the Buckeyes would be the early favorites in the Leaders Division. But with

NCAA penalties keeping the Buckeyes out of the Big Ten Championship next year, a third straight trip (let’s hope this one ends better) to Pasadena is well within reach.

Wisconsin football has rested on the edge of greatness before, most recently during the Ron Dayne years and two straight Rose Bowl victories following the 1998 and 1999 seasons.

But those were followed up with underwhelming wins in the Sun and Alamo Bowls, which quickly derailed any discussion of the Badgers earning a spot among the Big Ten’s best. It took a full decade for Wisconsin to return to a BCS bowl, and it now once again sits at a critical crossroads for the program.

A 9-3 regular season campaign that lands UW in the Outback Bowl or even the Capitol One Bowl — the top game for a Big Ten team outside of the BCS bowls — would restart the entire this

lengthy journey to the top.

However, leaving Indy Dec. 1 with another Big Ten Championship trophy in hand would change Wisconsin’s identity from that of a respected Big Ten program to one of the conference’s top dogs.

As the Badgers send their first kickoff soaring through Camp Randall Sept. 1, they’ll be playing for something bigger than another Big Ten crown.

Wisconsin will be playing for the right to call itself a nationally renowned squad known for more than burly offensive lineman and sporadic Rose Bowl appearances.

And in 2012, they just might be able to fit all the pieces together into a lasting portrait of success.

Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational — Ahmed’s race will serve to galvanize what is already a fairly famous distance track program at UW. With more attention in the track world being given to the Badgers, the UW men’s track team is bound to gain many recruiting benefits as a result.

“I have worked hard for this, and to get this opportunity is almost like a dream for me.”

An unparalleled passion for hockey PART 2 OF 2

Luck led to Eaves’ pro career before too many head hits ended it; then he turned to coaching Kelly Erickson Sports Content Editor

Eaves earned All-American honors twice in his four-year collegiate career and helped lead the Badgers to a national championship. After UW, Eaves eventually went on to play for the Minnesota North Stars and the Calgary Flames. He retired early after a string of concussions.

More than anything, hockey head coach Mike Eaves’ objectives and coaching style are most likely a result of his own playing career.

After his triumphs in college, Eaves spent some time playing for the Oklahoma City Stars, a farm team for the Minnesota Stars. He knew he was not the biggest or the fastest forward at the time, but eventually a lucky break — literally — gave him a chance to play in the National Hockey League.

“I wasn’t drafted till the fifth or seventh round, I can’t even remember,” Eaves said. “It’s like, ‘Do I even have a chance?’ if I’m drafted that low. … I was fortunate enough to play well when I was in the minors. Quite honestly, I was fortunate that when I was in the minors, I got a break when Bobby Smith,

who was the No. 1 center for the North Stars, broke his ankle and he was out for three months. There are a lot of players in the minor leagues who never get that break. I had that break and when I was there I played well enough to not be sent down. His break was my break, so to speak.”

Eaves earned rookie of the year accolades after his first year in the minors, before playing in only three games with Minnesota at the end of the 1978-79 season. He would play 12 more games with Oklahoma City the following season before finally making a permanent transition to the big leagues. From 19791986, Eaves enjoyed a brief yet strong career, first with Minnesota until 1983 before finishing his NHL career with the Calgary Flames.

During that brief sevenyear stretch the former Badger notched 83 goals and 143 assists for a total of 226 career points. It should be noted that Eaves did not play in the 1985-86 season until the playoffs, when the Flames were in need of additional support at forward after suffering a key injury.

But his condensed career was a result of an onslaught of concussions. While Eaves has no physically noticeable scar, his hockey injuries

were repeated hits to the head that put an end to his career. It is an injury that still causes concern today not only in hockey, but also in football and other contact sports.

“It’s such a spotlighted injury,” Eaves said. “There’s a great concern about head injuries and concussions.

My problem was I would come back too early from a concussion. In the old days it was get some smelling salts, shake your head, take a couple aspirins and play.

The problem was I was coming back to soon and getting hit again.”

In an exhibition game against Quebec City, Eaves remembers the final concussion that finally put an end to his career.

The risk of taking another tough blow to the head just wasn’t worth the potential consequences.

“I had had two concussions that spring, but I had the summer. I went back to the bench and all of sudden I went back on the ice and I had that feeling of déjà vu, that dream state.

And I was like, ‘This is not right.’ … The doctor said I didn’t have any permanent damage … but it was like the next time you get hit, because of your history, I can’t guarantee that you

Badger football primed for ‘elite’ status in 2012 Ian McCue Right on Cue Back-to-back Rose Bowl appearances go a long way in building a nationally recognized football brand. But in 2012, the Wisconsin football program has the chance to take a final, long-awaited step forward.

After spending years adjacent to the circle that surrounds college football’s “elite” programs, Wisconsin has the opportunity next season to finally anchor itself among the upper echelon of not just the Big Ten conference, but all of college football.

And a Heisman frontrunner coupled with a remarkably deep and talented defense may be just enough to finally bring the Badgers much-deserved validation as one of the conference’s perennial contenders. Wisconsin’s pursuit of becoming an elite program (à la Ohio State) has been a reappearing topic

for years — including a recent ESPN college football roundtable — but next season it has the opportunity to capitalize on recent success and establish a spot on the national scene.

Analysts are quick to point out potential issues arising from the exodus of UW coaches this offseason, most notably offensive coordinator Paul Chryst. But the talent returning on both sides of the ball puts Wisconsin in great position for a third-consecutive BCS bowl appearance that could place them firmly among the Big Ten’s best and no longer keep them looming a half-step behind.

This chance at claiming a spot among the country’s best programs begins with one of the most dangerous players lining up in the backfield in all of college football — running back Montee Ball. After piling up simply absurd numbers in 2011 — 1,923 yards and 39 total touchdowns — the senior running back will be the unquestioned centerpiece of the Badgers’ offense next season.

Ball is the rare, oncein-a-decade player who can single-handedly carry

the offense as a one-man touchdown machine.

Although he’ll have a tough time surpassing the stats he managed in 2011, the senior’s speed and vision out of the backfield alone could earn Wisconsin a couple of victories. Beyond that, Ball’s name staying in the Heisman discussion all season will continue to elevate the image of Wisconsin football. Even if Danny O’Brien fails to exhibit the skills through the air he showed as a Maryland freshman in 2010, Ball will be ready to take a starring role in the Badgers’ offensive attack.

While the UW offense will likely struggle to match the 44.1 points per game it mustered under Russell Wilson’s heroic watch, it should be productive enough given the 2012 squad’s biggest improvement over last year’s team — defense.

Anchored by the relentless, hard-hitting duo that is Chris Borland and Mike Taylor, the Wisconsin defense already boasts two leading Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year candidates. As two proven playmakers that starred in their second season as every-

Mohammed Ahmed posted a personal best of 27:34 in the 10,000 meters April 29, meeting Olympic standards. He simply needs to officially make Team Canada.

Gold standard: Ahmed set for shot at Olympics Badger reaches ‘A’ standard in distance event for London 2012 Nick Daniels Sports Writer After the race of his life at the Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational in Palo Alto, Calif., April 29, men’s distance

track runner Mohammed Ahmed has nearly solidified himself a spot in the 2012 Olympic Games this summer in London.

His 10,000-meter time of 27 minutes and 34 seconds, which was the sixth fastest time at the event and Ahmed’s personal best time, easily qualified Ahmed for the Olympic “A” standard racing time required to be eligible for the Olympic games.

Still, despite his oncein-a-lifetime run in California, Ahmed will need to do the same thing again at the June 27 Canada Olympic Trials if he is to qualify for the Canadian Olympic Team.

With the collegiate track season still in progress, some questions have arisen concerning how effective Ahmed will be for the Badger track team for the final few weeks of the season, including the Big Ten Championships May 11-13 in Madison, with the Olympic Trials in June in the back of his mind.

“Getting the standard out of the way helps,” Ahmed said.

“That relieves a lot of pressure off of my shoulders, and I should be able to focus on the school season, … but

we are going to see how we approach the training or if I need to ease up and rest a little bit as we approach the Olympics.”

The 2011-12 cross country and track seasons have been nothing but highs for Ahmed, who, along with his teammates, won both the Big Ten Championships and the NCAA cross country title in the fall before transitioning to the spring track season, where he holds the fastest time in the 10,000 meters across the Big Ten this season.

Having an athlete of his caliber on the team has led to a competitive team environment that, in some teams, could cause rifts within the ranks, but this has not been the case with Ahmed and his teammates. Affectionately called “Mo” by his teammates, Ahmed’s success has allowed everyone on the team to improve this season.

“We all have the same goal and we all strive for the same thing,” fellow distance runner Zach Mellon said. “So to see it manifest itself in Mo, and just his dedication, that pushes us just as hard as
