ASM endorses Schill for chancellor Kayla Rathjen Herald Contributor The Associated Students of Madison put forward an endorsement for University of Wisconsin chancellor finalist Michael Schill Friday after meeting with all four finalists as part of the screening process throughout

the last several weeks.

ASM Rep. David Gardner, in addition to 12 other ASM members and student leaders, released an endorsement Friday to the Search and Screen Committee and the Board of Regents, strongly recommending candidate Michael Schill to be the new chancellor. The endorsement

also expressed uneasiness with finalists Rebecca Blank and Kim Wilcox.

Gardner said Blank and Wilcox did not demonstrate a clear understanding of UW’s unique model of shared governance. He said they were not up to speed on student issues.

Students chose to endorse

Schill because he puts student priorities first, Gardner said.

He said Schill will fight for accessible education at UW, and added one of Schill’s main concerns is campus diversity.

ASM Chair Andrew Bulovsky said the interaction with the finalists was very positive. He said he found all of the finalists to be

extremely well-qualified for the position and that they all seemed willing to cooperate with students and shared governance.

Shared Governance Chair Brittany Moes said it is essential to have students and faculty not only involved in ASM, but also in collaboration with the chancellor to make

UW a success. She said she wants a chancellor who will work well with students and faculty, and who will respect the shared governance process.

“I think it went really well to be able to sit down and have lunch with the

Crime Person Down: Hawthorne Court The Madison Police Department found a male University of Wisconsin student unconscious and bleeding at the bottom of a stairwell in the downtown area early Sunday morning.

The victim, 21, was found at 411

in

Hawthorne Ct., just off State Street, at approximately 1:40 a.m., according to an MPD statement. The victim was bleeding from a large laceration on his head, the statement said.

According to Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, the victim was taken to the hospital for his

“Head injuries are always very scary,” Verveer said.

Verveer said it was unclear whether the individual was the victim of a crime or not. It is possible the injuries the victim

Alice Coyne Senior Reporter The displacement of Occupy Madison campers from a county park Sunday sparked local philanthropy efforts from members of the community this weekend.

The group, consisting of about 15 to 30 people, was camped out in the park for 120 days, according to Carrie Springer, spokesperson for the Dane County Executive’s Office.

Since leaving its post at the Occupy Madison site on East Washington

Avenue, a nomadic group of campers was staying north of the city at Token Creek Park. However, county officials asked them to leave Sunday because county workers need to prepare the area for public camping season, Springer said.

Although the county does not usually accommodate for winter camping, they made an exception for the group seeking a place to stay, Springer said.

The county originally permitted the

B-cycle bikes will return to the city March 20, a company that continues to grow its popularity and usage, in addition to locations every year.

Mayor to kick off Madison B-cycle after winter hiatus Devon Waugh Herald Contributor Madison B-cycle will celebrate its membership increase and upcoming expansions at its launch event for the 2013 season later this week.

The bike sharing system will open its stations throughout the downtown area in an event hosted by Mayor Paul Soglin March 20, according to Soglin’s spokesperson Katie Crawley.

The opening marks B-cycle’s 356 percent increase in membership over the course of the 2012 season, according to Madison B-cycle manager Claire Hurley. The number of annual members increased from 470 in 2011 to 2,100 members in 2012, she said.

Crawley said B-cycle offers an unprecedented opportunity that not only members of the community can appreciate, but also visitors. The mayor’s office has supported this service to the community since its start in 2011, she said.

“The mayor is a big fan of B-cycle and really understands the value of this service to the city for residents and visitors,” Crawley said.

Many B-cycle annual members commute to downtown Madison with bike stations near their offices as a source of alternate transportation. City residents often use B-cycle for quick trips or enjoying afternoons on State Street or Monroe Street, she said.

According to Hurley, B-cycle’s extended partnership with University of Wisconsin Transportation Services greatly contributed to this major point of growth. More than 800 of the current 2,100 members are from the university.

The university sponsors all B-cycle stations located on campus, Hurley said. Students also receive a highly-discounted annual membership of $20, compared to the city price of $65, to enjoy the bike services.

B-cycle is also planning to expand its stations this year. A new station will be added at the downtown central library, she said. She added they will also reach out to their customers in working with the Bike Federation of Wisconsin on different charity rides and “bike to work week.”

“I really enjoy interacting faceto-face with customers,” Hurley said. “I’m looking forward to all the fun events and promotions we have in store this year. There’s a

sense of community with our core group of membership at B-cycle.”

In its public-private partnership with the city, the bikes’ tracking systems provide guidance to the city on where to create additional bike paths and manage bike traffic at heavy intersections, Hurley said. The city keeps bike commuters in mind with every road project undertaken, she said.

Hurley said B-cycle offers the dual purpose of a green and convenient transportation option and insight into Madison’s infrastructure.

The bicycles also serve as an asset to Madison’s downtown parks, according to Laura Whitmore, City of Madison Parks Division spokesperson.

The Parks Division has often partnered with B-cycle since many of their stations are located in city parks, Whitmore said. The bikes are a good form of travel and another way to enjoy what the parks have to offer, she said.

Madison offers a nationallyrecognized biking atmosphere with the wide availability of biking paths throughout the city, Crawley said. B-cycle gives people the chance to see the city from a fresh perspective, she added.

Unemployment rate sees slight increase Sarah Link Reporter The state unemployment rate rose to 7 percent from 6.7 percent in January despite adding 1,800 jobs, according to a Department of Workforce Development report.

The monthly data showed a gain of 12,400 private-sector jobs from December 2012 to January 2013 and a decline of 10,600 government jobs, leading to a total gain of 1,800 nonfarm jobs.

DWD attributed the government jobs decline largely to a change in the University of Wisconsin System’s payroll schedule.

The numbers were based on a monthly

survey from 3.5 percent of Wisconsin employers, a survey DWD Secretary Reggie Newson said is not as accurate as others.

DWD said in a statement the monthly data is often revised significantly.

Laura Dresser, associate director of Center on Wisconsin Strategy, warned against reading too much into the monthly report.

January’s jump in the unemployment rate, she said, does not necessarily show a trend.

The state’s unemployment rate, which remains below the national 7.9 percent rate, would be troubling if it remains that way for a few months, she said.

“It takes more than one month of change in this data to know that it’s

a new direction and not just a blip,” Dresser said.

In its report, DWD also announced the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics revised monthly data from the past year. The revised data, DWD said, showed last year’s monthly data underestimated total nonfarm jobs by 67,100.

Monthly jobs reports from DWD, including this most recent one, come with a warning that the monthly estimates have recently gone against other economic indicators. The revised data, the statement said, puts the monthly data in line with those indicators, which all show positive job growth in the state.

“Today’s revised totals show just how far off the mark those initial

[monthly] estimates were,” Newson said in a statement. “While we are encouraged to see the revisions bring this data series into closer alignment with other indicators showing economic improvement in Wisconsin, we will continue to monitor the series.”

DWD also releases quarterly data that comes from a survey of 96 percent of the state’s employers, but is less timely. The quarterly data, which DWD frequently calls “actual jobs data,” is not yet out for 2012, although for 2011, it showed Wisconsin added 29,800 private sector jobs, according to the statement.

Melissa Baldauff, the Democratic Party of

Wisconsin’s research and digital director, said in a statement DWD was trying to “spin” the monthly data that showed an increase in unemployment.

Baldauff pointed to the quarterly data putting Wisconsin as the 42nd worst state in job creation and noted the 29,800 private sector job increase was far from Walker’s campaign promise of adding 250,000 jobs by the end of his term.

“Yesterday’s unprofessional and selfserving press release was designed to obscure the fact that Wisconsin’s employment creation has been modest at best, even with the improved federal jobs numbers,” Baldauff said.

Controversy surrounding the student organization Wisconsin Public Interest Research Group continued to stir throughout the weekend after University of Wisconsin Interim Chancellor David Ward issued a statement Thursday intended to provide clarification on his actions concerning the group’s funding.

Ward’s statement is yet another facet of the ongoing struggle between WISPIRG and the UW administration. WISPIRG announced last week it gathered signatures of 10 percent of the university’s population in support of a petition requesting the chancellor respects its allotted funding.

The Student Services Finance Committee approved WISPIRG’s budget in November 2012, including funding for professional staff. In its decision, SSFC included a sunset clause that would approve the positions and salaries for nonuniversity staff, until the chancellor either did or did not sign off to approve funding for these positions.

In the statement, Ward expressed though the Associated Students of Madison initially approved WISPIRG’s budget, including a line for funding professional staff, he did not approve funding allocated for the nonuniversity staff because it violates F50, a UW System policy on governing the use of segregated fees that was created in 2007.

“Much is being made to suggest I have taken a grand departure from past practice related to funding of student organizations, and specifically, WISPIRG,” Ward said in the statement. “I write today to clarify that this is not the case.”

By the requirements of F50, segregated fees cannot be used for funding of nonuniversity employees except via contract. Since the contract did not meet provisions of F50, Ward said, he denied the contract request, thereby approving a budget for WISPIRG — with funding for professional staff removed — of $55,571.17.

ASM drafted a contracting process in the spring of 2012 to fund groups like WISPIRG that request funds for professional staff, according to the statement.

This agreement, the Campus Services Fund, was an addition to SSFC bylaws, according to ASM Press Office Director David Gardner. He said CSF was introduced to add a contract that can be paid through segregated fees in compliance with university and Board of Regents policies.

WISPIRG Board Chair Emily Eyck said in a way she felt frustrated with Ward’s response. She said in some ways, Ward inaccurately represented the case and did not provide clarification in his statement.

Eyck provided an example of this in her stance on Ward’s interpretation of F50.

She said she feels Ward failed to provide specific details on parts of F50 WISPIRG has violated.

The presidents of UW System and the Board of Regents supported Ward’s interpretation of F50 late last spring, according to the statement. Ward said in the statement ASM did not appeal this decision.

This makes it seem like ASM did not care to appeal, Eyck said. What happened, she added, was ASM was not able to draft an appeal by the required deadline because Ward chose to not grant WISPIRG’s contract for funding professional staff at a time so late in the year that made it nearly impossible for student government to appeal.

Professional staff is necessary to WISPIRG’s operations, Eyck said.

SSFC student leaders will meet with Ward next Wednesday to present the budgets for the next fiscal year, Eyck said.

This is critical, she added, because they hope for a definitive response.

OCCUPY, from 1 group to stay in the park for 90 days, and then extended this provision another 30 days to allow them time to line up alternative places to stay.

Springer said the county assured the campers there is room in local shelters and said she was generous with an extension to the time they allowed the group to stay.

Koua Vang, local resident and lawyer, offered up his vacant lot about 10 miles away from Token Creek Park for the homeless group until April 16, when campsites reopen again for the season.

He equated the campers’ situation to his own personal experience living as a refugee in Thailand during the Vietnam War, moving from town to town trying to flee communist persecution.

Though some members

of the group plan to follow through with Vang’s offer, city zoning ordinances prevent him from legally offering up this space.

Vang said he plans to fight this issue in court, defending his intentions to help those in need.

“We should not help only those who can help us, but those who cannot help us,” Vang said. “I just feel like if you have the opportunity to help someone, this is the opportunity.”

Brenda Konkel, executive director of the Tenant Resource Center and advocate for the Occupy group, expressed concern toward the city for not doing more to help the large homeless population.

Konkel said the city does not allow legal camping in any category in the city, an issue her organization has asked officials to address for

weeks.

“This has absolutely become a political protest at this point,” Konkel said in an email to The Badger Herald.

Currently, there is no legal place for homeless people to sleep and local shelters offer a 60-day seasonal limit, Konkel said. For example, 150 men are currently wandering the streets, having used up all of their eligibility days in a shelter, she said.

Vang said the local shelters are very overcrowded and simply are not doing enough for the high demand of homeless people in the area. He said he hopes the government will find a permanent solution for this group and similar future groups of homeless people so the responsibility does not fall on the shoulders of private citizens.

Local company attracts grads with unique benefits Allie Johnson City Life Editor A local software company was recognized earlier this month for its unconventional work environment and unique opportunities, which draws a large number of Univeristy of Wisconsin college graduates each year.

Epic Systems, a company that designs software for medical groups and health care organizations, was listed as number one in a ranking of the “10 Cool Office Spaces”

by Forbes Magazine for its headquarters in Verona.

“We’re pretty excited

about it,” Jamie Bjorklund, a member of the Human Resources department, said.

“It sort of came out of the blue [and] we didn’t know we were being considered for it.”

Bjorklund explained the company stands out because increasing productivity was the motivation behind the design of the headquarters.

The architecture and interior design of the campus is the reason they were named to the list, she said.

According to Bjorklund, the company wanted to have one central campus where everyone is located because it encourages communication.

Communication is the key to

making integrated software, she said.

The company’s central campus is split into many different buildings and every employee has individual offices, according to Bjorklund. She explained the company did not want to incorporate cubicles into the design because they negatively impact productivity.

She said it is important for employees not to feel as though they are a cog in a machine. The company wants everyone to feel like they have an impact, she added.

“I think [Epic] does not have a very corporate feel,”

Bjorklund said. “We have a more whimsical approach.”

According to Bjorklund, the workspace provided by Epic is one of the reasons the company attracts many recent college graduates.

The company employs a wide range of people, but does a significant amount of campus recruiting, according to Bjorklund. With the university right in its backyard, UW graduates are often the target of many of Epic’s recruitment efforts, she said.

As a UW graduate herself, Bjorklund said she was also drawn to the company because there is a sense of

purpose in the work they are doing.

The company’s motto is “Do good, have fun, make money.” She said there is appeal in getting into an industry where employees feel as though they are improving health care and improving the quality of care.

The location of the company in the Madison area is another appeal for many young people, according to Ald. Scott Resnick, District 8. Resnick, who works as the Vice President for Hardin Design and Development in Madison, was named one of UW’s Alumni Association’s Forward Under 40.

“The vitality of the city is one element that attracts people to the area,” Resnick said.

The city has a combination of everything: lots of energy, things to do and a vibrant nightlife, he said.

Another appeal of the city for recent college graduates is the cost of living, according to Resnick. The cost of living is not as high as bigger cities, such as Los Angeles or Chicago, and a dollar can go further, he said.

Bjorklund added the company offers young people the opportunity to get a lot of experience right away.

Smartphone app attempts to reduce drunken driving Allie Johnson City Life Editor A new smartphone app rolled out Friday of St. Patrick’s Day weekend seeks to help prevent drunken driving in Wisconsin, according to a Department of Transportation statement.

As part of its “Zero in Wisconsin” campaign, DOT launched a new “Drive Sober” smartphone app. Among the app’s functions are a blood alcohol estimator, a spinthe-bottle game to choose a designated driver and a GPSled alternate transportation finder.

CRIME, from 1 a fire in a vault room of the Porter Boathouse, the threestory building home to the UW men’s and women’s rowing teams, just before 9 a.m., according to an MFD statement.

Firefighters found smoke billowing out of a back room of the boathouse, according to MFD Spokesperson Bernadette Galvez.

Firefighters shut off the power in the room before putting out

State Patrol Major Sandra Huxtable, the director of DOT’s Bureau of Transportation Safety, said the app would help reduce drunken driving by presenting people with options.

“What we’re striving to do is just put more information into peoples’ hands,” Huxtable said. “We want them to have some information so that even if they went out and drank, they at least made a responsible decision not to drive.”

The “Find a Ride” function uses GPS technology to give users numbers for multiple local taxi companies and a

According to the statement, the fire caused $10,000 in damage.

The fire was located in the room where the boats used by the rowing team, or shells, are housed, Galvez said.

The majority of the damage sustained was smoke damage to the shells, she said. The firefighters turned off fans in the building to eliminate the smoke and prevent further damage to the rowing team

number and website for bus services.

The app’s blood alcohol estimator includes a warning that it is only an approximation, reminding potential drivers if they have a blood alcohol content above 0.08, police can arrest them for drunken driving.

University of Wisconsin Police Department Sgt. Aaron Chapin said he would discourage people from using the blood alcohol content estimator because it may lead students to believe they are sober enough to drive when really they are not. He said people should arrange plans before drinking, rather than

after.

Huxtable said the app is not just a way for those who are already out to find an alternate way home, but also a way for people to make plans before they drink on how they would get home.

Rachel Lepak, student representative for the Alcohol License Review Committee, said although the app is a good idea, many UW students do not have cars on campus, so drunken driving is not as big of an issue.

Associated Students of Madison Legislative Affairs Committee Vice Chair Morgan Rae said UW students who go to bars on State Street

equipment, the statement said.

No one was in the building at the time of the fire, according to Galvez.

Overall, the shells experienced minor damage and none of them actually melted from the fire, Galvez said. The rowing team will have time to fix the shells before their season begins.

“I don’t think this will affect the rowing team,” Galvez said.

City of Madison Fire Investigators, UW Safety and UW Police Department are

Both said the app would still be useful, especially for non-UW students who come to campus for events like the Mifflin Street Block Party or St. Patrick’s Day. Ald. Scott Resnick, District 8, agreed.

“It’s one of those things that raises awareness,” Resnick said. “It at least gets you to conscientiously think about, ‘Am I too intoxicated to drive?’”

Julia Sherman, alcohol policy project coordinator for the UW Law School’s Resource Center on Impaired Driving, praised DOT for

using new technology, although she said it has to be part of a broader campaign.

“We know empirically that information alone does not change behavior, and impaired driving is sadly in this state a behavior,” Sherman said. “I give them big points for innovation, but it still needs to be part of a comprehensive program.”

DOT is marketing the app through commercials that launched this weekend, Huxtable said.

The app is available for free downloads on DOT’s Zero in Wisconsin website, zeroinwisconsin.gov.

Drunk Driving: Langdon Street A man was arrested for his fifth drunken driving offense following an incident that occurred on Langdon Street Thursday evening.

According to University of Wisconsin Police Department Sgt. Aaron Chapin, a vehicle was stopped March 15 at 1:28 a.m. for traveling without headlights. He said the UW officer on patrol at that time stopped the vehicle and made contact with the driver.

Karl Moreth, 26 of Sun

Prairie, was driving the vehicle and claimed to be unaware the lights were not on, according to a UWPD statement.

The statement said there were three other intoxicated passengers in the vehicle at the time it was pulled over, who had all received previous convictions for Operating Moving Vehicles While Intoxicated, or a drunken driving charge.

Moreth was arrested and booked in the Dane County Jail after failing a field sobriety test and is being charged with OMVWI fifth offense, Operating After Revocation and Operating without Proper Lights.

Ald. Mike Verveer,

District 4, said he would consider this case to be rare in the UW area and particularly noteworthy, given the circumstances.

“Five is an outrageously high number of convictions for a man of his age,” Verveer said. “It really is unusual and unfortunate.”

During police contact, one of the passengers in the vehicle urinated on himself and another vomited on himself, according to the statement.

Chapin said this is a serious crime. He said a fifth offense is a felony charge and added Moreth will most likely face prison time, though a specific period of time is for a judge to decide.

issues.

“The chancellor candidates were very happily surprised by the amount of student involvement,” Gardner said.

Students outside of ASM should also be involved and have a vested interest in determining the future figurehead of UW, Bulovsky said. Without students, he added, there would be no campus.

Bulovsky said he wants a chancellor who understands national and international demands on the education system and is able to appreciate the need to raise UW’s prestige and visibility. He also said he would like a chancellor who is able to search for new

and innovative sources of funding.

“I want a bold and visionary leader who is able to instill pride in campus and make students excited to be Badgers,” Bulovsky said.

In the future, Gardner said, ASM will work to ensure the new chancellor knows how strong student governance is at UW. ASM will communicate directly with the chancellor to be a part of the process of solving student issues, he added.

Bulovsky said he will meet with the new chancellor in early fall to congratulate him or her and also provide more information about campus and student government.

counsel, said one of the reasons Van Hollen asked for a stay in the case before the appeals court was because of the resulting confusion from Colas’ ruling, such as the extent of the ruling and what it could mean for municipalities.

Esenberg said one of the reasons the Court of Appeals cited for not issuing a stay was because they could not resolve this confusion.

However, he said Colas’ decision does not create a window of opportunity for unions to negotiate with the state.

“No matter what you do as a union or a municipality, you take a risk,” Esenberg said. “If you’re a municipality and decide you’re not going to negotiate and comply with Act 10, a union could sue you for not negotiating in good faith. If you decide to not comply with Act 10, a union employee or taxpayer could sue you over the contract.”

However, Pines said the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission, the state agency involved with enforcing the collective bargaining law, is a party in the case. Therefore, the court’s decision binds them and requires them to treat the challenged provisions

of the law as null and void, Pines said.

“Because they have been told that such provisions are not laws and have no effect, the commissioners may not enforce or administer those provisions in any matter that comes before them,” Pines said. “If they do, we will bring them back to court to be held in contempt of court for ignoring the circuit court’s decision.”

Peter Davis, WERC general counsel, said in an email to The Badger Herald that as of Friday, WERC had not reached a conclusion as to the impact of Colas’ decision on its functions.

Esenberg said for Pines to hold WERC in contempt, he would have to receive an order from Colas concerning the matter. He said Pines may be able to bring suit if he could litigate the case in time.

However, Esenberg said litigation would not eliminate the risk a municipality would take to negotiate, and would then have either the Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court uphold the challenged provisions of the law. He said this would mean the contract would have been done illegally.

chancellor finalists,” Moes said. “It was really nice to have more of a personal relationship.”

Gardner said Student Council’s role in the search and screen process involved engaging in constant communication with the finalists to determine if they would cooperate with student issues. Also, he added, Student Council worked to solicit feedback from students.

Gardner said it is important for Student Council to interact during the search and screen process, because ASM, as the student voice, is valuable in incorporating student

ACT 10, from 1 that decision, but until the appeals court decides on whether it agrees with Colas’ ruling, that decision will remain.

Van Hollen said he and his office asked for a stay of Colas’ decision because they were concerned municipal employees and others would think it allowed them to not follow the law.

“While the Court of Appeals denied our motion for a stay, it also was very clear that Judge Colas’ order does not have statewide application and does not apply to any nonparties,” Van Hollen said.

However, attorney Lester Pines, who is representing Madison Teachers Inc. and others who brought suit against the law, said in a statement the court order allows municipal employees to “play it safe” by applying the law according to Colas’ decision.

He said unions could negotiate contracts to protect their interests even if courts reinstate the challenged provisions of the collective bargaining law.

Herald Editorial MOOCs provide opportunity to innovate, not follow MOOCs being offered

by UW: More than a High Score: Video Games & Learning with Professors Constance Steinkuehler and Kurt Squire Globalizing Higher Education and Research for the “Knowledge Economy” with Professor Kris Olds Human Evolution: Past and Future with Professor John Hawks Markets with Frictions with Professor Randall Wright

A few weeks ago, the University of Wisconsin unveiled plans to offer four Massive Open Online Courses in the coming academic year. Including classes on video games and learning, global higher education, human evolution and market frictions, the courses will be delivered through a platform managed by the online learning company Coursera. They will be free and unrestricted, but participants will not earn college credit.

UW’s decision to offer MOOCs (pronounced “mooks”) is part of a nationwide trend — many universities nationwide have made unrestricted online classes available in the past decade. Prominent examples include Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s OpenCourseWare and edX initiatives, Stanford’s Engineering Everywhere and Harvard’s Free Courses — Coursera itself is the largest company in the MOOC industry, offering classes from 62 different universities. Suffice to say that the massive open online course movement is growing at a rapid pace.

The MOOC movement has received mixed reviews. Supporters celebrate the way in which these courses provide access to higher education for thousands of students around the world who would be otherwise unable to attend topflight universities. Critics have cited comparatively low completion rates and a lack of interpersonal connection — according to Forbes magazine, the completion rate for an online course on artificial intelligence offered by Stanford was 13 percent.

Administrators at UW seem to be levelheaded about the educational potential of MOOCs. In an article

by Nature Magazine, Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery Director David Krakauer pointed out open

online education is a work in progress, saying, “You can design something that’s perfect on paper, and then try to build it. Or you can start with a system that’s rubbish, experiment and build a better one with feedback. That’s the Silicon Valley style — but it’s also the scientific way.” Interim Chancellor David Ward explained MOOCs are not intended to replace traditional forms of higher education, saying, “We fully recognize the necessity for direct personal communication in higher education, but we must also experiment and explore the potentialities of online technologies.”

Ward and Krakauer have found an eminently reasonable, middleof-the-road approach to online education. Offering free, open online courses falls directly in line with the educational mission of this university by extending education to the public. The learning that happens at UW should not be confined within the walls of this university. At the same time, it is clear that while MOOCs may provide positive educational outcomes for some students, they will never replace four-year universities as a standard model for higher education — while these courses provide unrestricted education to students everywhere, they lack the structure and interpersonal interaction of a brickand-mortar university.

We applaud UW for offering open online classes, as this decision will not jeopardize the educational mission of the university, but rather further it. This university has a prerogative to provide learning not only for its students, but for society as a whole. There are, however, clear problems with the current model of open online education. While significant advancements have been made, course providers still struggle to translate the classroom

experience into an online medium and create a course structure that retains students. These are problems UW should attempt to solve in its open online courses. After all, for UW, joining the MOOC movement should not be an effort to compete with other universities and “keep up with the other guys.” It should be an effort to find innovative solutions and in so doing, improve online education.

There has been much talk of UW’s role as an engine for the state’s

economic growth. Most of this talk has centered on UW’s responsibility to produce well-educated graduates with degrees in high-demand fields.

However, it is important to realize a degree is not what makes a worker well-prepared. The knowledge and skills the degree represents are what really matter, and these are exactly what UW seeks to provide in open online courses. By providing these MOOCs, UW is helping to prepare a new generation of workers for today’s economy.

Lack of focus symptom of ill-fitting major Reginald Young Columnist If you were to tell me you have never once let your attention wander to Facebook, Reddit or text messages while in class, I think we can all agree that would be an outright lie.

But while I agree with parts of Garth Beyer’s column last week on student web multitasking in lecture, I don’t necessarily agree with the reasons he gives for such activity.

Beyer gives two main reasons for students’ prevalent web multitasking. First, he says we are expected to keep up-todate with so many facets of life, like school, work, personal and professional connections and

so forth, that it’s difficult not to be constantly checking up on our online lives. Since we can, for the most part, get away with the same grade whether we pay attention in class or not, we therefore can justify web multitasking to help juggle our responsibilities.

The second reason is, in essence, that lectures do not provide the connectivity we crave in this day and age, so we find it online instead. But how one feels more “connected” by looking at Imgur than by participating in class is beyond me.

While reading Beyer’s column, one question kept arising in my mind: If you’re spending tens of thousands of dollars to get a college degree at a liberal arts university, but you can’t bring yourself to find the course material interesting enough that you want to actively pay attention and participate, then maybe, just maybe, you’ve got the wrong major.

I understand there are days when it’s a struggle to sit through a lecture. It can be a battle to force yourself to keep focus. We all space out from time to time, especially when 20 minutes are all that stands between you and lunch.

But isn’t that lecture the whole reason we are here?

If you’re a political science major who cannot seem to pay attention in your intro to political science course, then maybe that’s a sign you’re not actually that interested in it.

The same goes for all majors and all schools.

I don’t mean to imply that students should not be made to work hard. Slaving away with assignments is different than finding the material interesting and engaging. It’s one thing to complain about the amount of reading you get, but it’s entirely another to complain that a class in your department is boring.

Our society views a college degree as something necessary, something requisite to get

anywhere in this world. But once we’ve got a few semesters under our belt, we’re suddenly faced with the question of what to major in now that our feet are in this institution that we “had to” go to. And, hell, there’s a “real world” after undergrad, so we better choose a utile major.

I agree with Beyer that perhaps students’ inabilities to pay attention in class nowadays might stem from a teaching model that could use some updating, especially with interactivity. But that would most likely require smaller class sizes, and given the cuts the University of Wisconsin has been facing, that doesn’t seem to be a possibility.

So if you find yourself unable to focus in classes central to your major, ask yourself why the hell you’re in them.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “More background checks? Dandy idea, Mr. President — should’ve started with yours.”

-Sarah Palin, FORMER ALASKA GOVERNOR During her speech at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was firing on all cylinders with her criticism of President Barack Obama. Although it’s somewhat unclear precisely what Ms. Palin was actually trying to imply (perhaps that Obama was not born in the U.S.), it is presumably nothing nice.

Palin was really on a roll with her insults, later waxing poetic, “Remember no-drama Obama? If only. Now it’s all-drama Obama.”

Oh! Someone call the burn center!

Hopefully Ms. Palin will stick around the political scene for years to come. This is just too much fun.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Ward wrong on WISPIRG I find interim Chancellor David Ward’s letter to the campus from last week about the Wisconsin Public Interest Research Group to be full of excuses for why students should not be able to fund WISPIRG. Frankly, it is full of a whole lot of nothing.

First off, the arguments presented

by Ward are not grounded in the relevant policy (I encourage you to read F50, the University of Wisconsin System’s segregated fee policy, for yourself.)

He seems to imply that as students, we are not capable of looking at the policy and making informed decisions about how to allocate our fees.

I have seen Ward disrespect shared governance and student voices on this campus time and time again.

Personally, I have been engaged in issues on campus, from the No New Seg Fees campaign to the New Badger Partnership protests.

As a somewhat active member of a broader part of our campus community, I maintain that this decision flies in the face of shared governance.

UW students have

made the decision to allow WISPIRG to stay on campus!

WISPIRG was able to gather 4,500 signatures in support of their organization, more than it takes to trigger a referendum and roughly twothirds of the students who voted in the most recent election!

Groups like WISPIRG exist to ensure students and our university are able to tackle some of the biggest issues of our generation, like the influence or corporate spending in elections, the growing cost of education or the rising threat of climate change.

Much like similar political and moral issues of the past, these issues should be something that universities scramble to prove they care about. WISPIRG fills a void in the university and represents the rights of students who want to organize themselves.

I ask Chancellor Ward to take another look at the policy, respect students and reconsider WISPIRG’s contract.

ARTSETC. PRESENTS: TIMELESSLY TRENDY

Spring into fresh, dewy styles, faces Maggie Schafer Timelessly Trendy Columnist

Courtesy of Disney

“Atlantis: The Lost Empire” was originally released in 2001 by Disney. It was recently made available to Netflix online subscribers, along with many other Disney animated films.

Sink away from class to Atlantis Tim Hadick ArtsEtc. Editor College is the time for two childhood pastimes to make a comeback: nap time and the nearuniversal love for Disney films, sometimes appearing together in a student’s schedule. While the week before spring break is notorious for its nearevil amount of exams and assignments, it’s important to keep calm and watch Netflix every once in a while. Disney is constantly releasing its classics on the popular movie and TV show streaming service, and now subscribers (and moochers) can take a break and watch “Atlantis: The Lost Empire.”

Milo Thatch (Michael J. Fox, TV’s “The Good Wife”) takes up after his grandfather in searching for Atlantis, a continent which supposedly disappeared into the ocean after a cataclysm. After a surprise meeting with a mysterious investor, Mr. Whitmore (John Mahoney, TV’s “Hot in Cleveland”), Thatch dives to the depths of the ocean with a motley

crew of misfits in search of any remains of the civilization.

After a run-in with a monster-machine that sinks the sub, few members of the crew survive and escape into a system of undersea tunnels that Thatch calls a highway to Atlantis. The gang meets obstacle after obstacle until, finally, they find what they were looking for: the city of Atlantis, saved from the cataclysm by a mysterious force and preserved underground.

But the crew didn’t expect to find an entire civilization still living in the city. While tensions mount between the expedition members and the locals, Thatch uses his basic knowledge of the Atlantian language to convince Princess Kida (Cree Summers, voice “Diablo III”) to allow them to stay and study their culture. However, Commander Rourke (James Garner, “Battle for Terra”) has other plans for the city.

“Atlantis: The Lost Empire” stands out from many Disney animated films for getting gritty.

Characters are dirty in more ways than one, motives are intense and Princess Kida sure likes leaving nothing to the imagination.

Themes range from greed to

morality, and characters are often pressed to make deep, personal decisions along the way. Disney, of course, spins the dialogue to lighten the atmosphere a bit, but, for those paying close attention, it’s easy to pick up on very adult undertones — though of course, this isn’t anything particularly new for Disney.

There are many deaths and several instances of explicit murder throughout the film. This sets “Atlantis” apart from a lot of other Disney films that generally only imply a character was just killed off. While so much violence may make many parents think twice about showing the film to their small children, college kids can handle it and appreciate a more mature animated film.

Every character has an interesting and wellthought-out background, giving depth to an otherwise straight-forward plot. Interactions between the kooky crew members and Atlantians are humorous, and Thatch’s affection for Princess Kida is palpable as he becomes attached to Atlantis as a whole.

The best part of watching “Atlantis” on Netflix is seeing the film’s amazing designs and artwork in HD. Visual elements pop like never

before, and the higher resolution highlights how much work and attention to detail went into creating the world of “Atlantis.”

Viewers who have seen “Atlantis” before are bound to see something new.

The one major flaw in “Atlantis” is its pacing.

It takes Thatch only a couple minutes from the beginning of the film to suddenly be on the underground path to Atlantis, then the film takes far too long to get to the actual city. Dialogue can be hard to keep up with if viewers are only half paying attention, and many parts of the film feel overlooked. “Atlantis” could have been an amazing epic of a film if it were just a half-hour longer. For the sake of the audience of this article, though, it’s probably best that a 95-minute break be the longest break of the day.

Disney classics persist around campus. Students are hard-pressed to go a month without hearing “I’ll Make a Man Out of You” from “Mulan” — if not belting it out themselves.

But, for those who are obsessed with quality and maturity, and for those who aren’t, “Atlantis: The Lost Empire” is a great way to stay sane and relive the days when the word “exam” was something for grownups to worry about.

Winter was all about covering up.

Whether for warmth or aesthetics, fashionable folks found themselves in thick fabrics like wool and velvet, hats on their heads and statementmaking makeup on the ladies’ faces. Now, as much as I love my parka and those trusty Doc Martens, spring fever is taking hold, and fashion is bringing a fresh new look along with the season’s fresh blooms.

A fresh look calls for a fresh face, and though winter’s winged liner and red lips may have been ever so seductive, the newest trends are all about lightening up. Go girly with cheek and lip stains, which give you a youthful, risingfrom-within color that’s both natural and enticingly sweet. As if the two-in-one practicality of products like Stila Lip & Cheek Stain isn’t enough, by applying the same color to both lips and cheeks your coloring becomes more consistent, giving you a healthy glow.

Whether for the cheeks, lips, nails or lids, take a cue from jewelry trends and incorporate the ever-versatile rose gold into your look. This color eliminates the brassiness of gold and the ruddiness of rose for a glow that compliments every skin tone. The feminine charm is balanced by a cool metallic sheen that does wonders for that fresh dewy look. Sweeping eye shadow, such as Urban Decay eye shadow in Chopper, over upper lids and brushing on a sheer highlighter over cheekbones gives a light and ethereal feel.

Contrast a fresh face with a bold brow for a look that is as striking as it is on trend.

A perfect brow should look completely natural, so despite its strength there is something youthful and fresh in it. Brows must be done right in order to avoid that penciled in look that makes the wearer seem severe and harsh instead of bright and stylish. Start by brushing brows out with a clear mascara to keep everything in place.

Pluck away any unruly hairs, but do not change the shape of your brows. Brow shaping is a tricky process that can help frame your face in the most flattering way, but unless you’ve mastered a technique I recommend taking it to the professionals (most salons offer waxing), to make sure you do not overpluck. Next, fill in your natural shape very lightly in the spaces where the hairs

do not grow. Experiment with eyebrow pencils, kits (I myself use Benefit Brow Zings) or gel to get just the right amount of color.

Heat-damaged hair can rejoice now that the fashion world is realizing that a little frizz really isn’t the end of the world. Models with bedheadinspired hair filled the runway this spring, and something about their apathetically combed out, completely glossfree look was just too cool.

Think Kate Moss’s signature look but with a little more frizz and a lot more real girl cred.

The best thing about this look is it’s easily achievable for both curly and straight-haired ladies.

If your hair is curly, comb out the tangles and smooth with finishing crème like John Frieda Secret Weapon for a laid-back look. Straight-haired girls can achieve this look with the simple sleep-with-hair-ina-bun-trick for effortless waves.

Another deceptively easy hairdo that’s too irresistible to pass up this spring is the milkmaid braids. Sure it’s been around since, well, milkmaids, but thanks to fashionistas, the pastoral favorite is getting a much-appreciated dose of messy hipness. Start by dividing the hair into two braids, making sure to leave out a few strands in front. Loosen up braids with fingers for a less defined look, and lift each braid towards the top of the head, about an inch away from the forehead, securing them with bobby pins.

Make sure to hide the elastic and bobby pins with hair, and adjust as desired.

These fresh looks can only be paired with fresh outfits, and with the options that are popping up this spring there will be no deficiency of choices. Pattern and fabric mixing seems to be this springs most ubiquitous trend. Done right, it can look quirky yet sophisticated, fun but puttogether. Avoid looking like the high school theater geek with snakeskin pants and mismatched Converse by sticking to subtle and grownup materials in the most stylish shapes. Think stripes, polka dots, lace, chambray and leather, all thrown together with clever accessories like patterned belts, socks and loafers.

This spring, no outfit can be complete without a collar.

Whether it be on a classic oxford button down or a Peter Pan on a shift, the buttoned-up look has a fresh and youthful feel when paired with bright colors and fun shapes. Pair a collared shirt with skinny printed trousers that hit around the ankle for a style that winks at sophistication. And don’t forget this spring’s flirty and easy shoe: the ankle-strap skimmer, in coquettish colors and a daringly innocent shape.

Local poets share diversity in style, voice Danielle Leick ArtsEtc. Staff Writer Poetry readings can be both emotional and educational. This was definitely the case Saturday at the Rainbow Bookstore Cooperative, when two local poets shared their works, demonstrating the depth and variety found in poetry and discussing different uses of poetic elements.

Poets Ari Banias, currently the Halls Poetry Fellow at the Wisconsin Institute for Creative Writing, and Amy Quan Barry, a creative writing professor at the University of Wisconsin, read their works as a part of FELIX: A Series of New Writing.

FELIX, which began in 2003, is named after Felix Pollak, a former UW librarian. From the attendees of the reading to the cat roaming around Rainbow Bookstore, spirits were high and the energy was flowing.

Banias started off the reading with nine poems from a mixture of old

and new works. Banias combines serious and humorous tones in many of his poems, leaving listeners chuckling and humbled using analogies to animals, with sheep being a common one.

Many of his poems also look at what it means in society to be a man. “At Any Given Moment” directly defines a man as being a strong man. His reading of “Your Wild Domesticated Inner Life” had the crowd contemplating life in between bits of humor about pet lambs sleeping on your head next to Banias telling the readers “don’t be a fucking doctor about it.”

While listening to Banias read his selected poems, reading-goers were able to hear how he wants his poems read. There was a rhythm to his voice that couldn’t be missed, even by the numerous St. Patrick’s Day partiers passing by the window who stopped to look in. Ironically, this image of looking through a window was reflected in this poem “The Men,” a revision to an earlier poem

he had previously written himself out of.

After Banias left the limelight with a roar of applause at Rainbow Bookstore, Barry was up. Reading poems from her newest book, Water Puppets, as well as a collaboration set titled “Loose Strife,” Barry was filled with energy.

Many poetry readings have podiums set up for the readers, however at Rainbow the poets are free do to as they please, leaving Barry to walk up and down the aisle of chairs — creating a hype in the atmosphere. She started the reading off by explaining her reasoning for writing her poem “effigy.” “We are who we are, but we always want to be someone else,” she explained. Many of Barry’s poems reflect troubling times in places she travelled to. Her readings of these poems leave listeners moving through the heavy images depicted in the poetry.

Throughout Barry’s reading, the audience was

transported through the White City of Peru, to Vietnam and Cambodia, as well as Antarctica to see who can spot the B-15 iceberg first. Barry uses her poem “The Lord Be With You, But Not Also With You” to play on the words of how Catholics changed the wording of Mass to a less poetic form. Throughout her reading, the audience was taught a bit more about poetry. Her explanation of a guzzle prior to reading “Loose Strife” taught listeners about different writing styles.

This particular installment of “Loose Strife” used a guzzle by taking the words “parrot dies” and recreating it at the end of each line to sound like a different word — paradise, pair of dice and parrot dies are a few used in her poem.

Between Banias and Barry’s styles of poetry, each and every person in the audience could find something to relate to.

And for any aspiring poets, Banias gave the advice to “read as much as you can” and to “read hungrily.”

Timely OSU rebounds cripple UW’s title hopes Buckeyes score key 2nd-chance points; Kaminsky essential in tournament run Sean Zak Senior Associate Editor As Wisconsin used a 13-0 run to pull it into a first half lead and Ohio State utilized a 10-0 run of its own to retake the lead early in the second half, it seemed like a game of elongated runs would decide the winner of the Big Ten tournament.

What came next was an absolute back-and-forth battle between defensiveminded teams. But the runs weren’t over. The final run, however — this one 8-0 in favor of the Buckeyes — proved to be the differencemaker as Ohio State (26-7) exploited a cooled down Wisconsin (23-11) team in the final seven minutes and changed en route to a 50-43 victory in the tournament final.

The price of possessions climbed throughout the waning moments of the second half right alongside the rising amount of jumpers clanging off the United Center rims.

With that in mind, the rebounding battle took center stage and eventually turned into the differencemaker for the newly crowned Buckeyes.

Offensive rebounding benefits Buckeyes Although the total rebound numbers for the game only slightly favored Ohio State — the Buckeyes out-rebounded the Badgers 27-23 — it was the type of

rebounds that proved vital as the game was decided.

With just 6:43 left on the clock and Wisconsin nursing a 41-39 lead, Ohio State forward DeShaun Thomas grabbed his third offensive rebound of the game before being fouled on his ensuing put-back, starting the Buckeyes’ triumphing run with a pair of free throws.

Two possessions later at the 4:30 mark, the Buckeyes had taken a two-point lead before Thomas was forced into a tough fadeaway jump shot as the shot clock ticked toward zero.

His shot careened hard off the front of the rim and Ohio State forward LaQuinton Ross split three seemingly immovable Badgers, grabbing the board in the middle of the lane. Ross dribbled into Wisconsin forward Ryan Evans before spinning at the right block and converting a layup and the foul by Evans.

After the game sophomore Traevon Jackson, one of the immovable Badgers, blamed himself for letting Ross get to the basket.

“Trae was honest,” UW head coach Bo Ryan said.

“He missed the block-out assignment there. He had him, so they made us pay.”

Although Ross missed the ensuing free throw, Ohio State guard Shannon Scott grabbed his team’s 12th and final offensive rebound of the game, extending another precious possession. Ross finished it off with a layup, increasing the Buckeyes’ score to 47, a number Wisconsin would never reach.

Throughout the game, Ohio State grabbed seven more offensive rebounds

than Wisconsin, leading to a second-chance points differential of 13-4, indispensable in the sevenpoint Buckeye win.

“Every possession counts, whether it’s a turnover or offensive rebound,” Evans said. “They were able to get their hands on a couple loose balls, and that could have been the difference in the game.”

Five was Wisconsin’s lowest offensive rebounding total of their three games in the weekend tournament and came in a game where senior forward Jared Berggren played just 23 minutes, his lowest since the February 3 blowout of Illinois.

Berggren averaged just 24 minutes throughout the tournament, but his playing time never became an issue for Wisconsin as his substitute was efficient nearly every time.

Kaminsky wraps up solid tournament It was that Illinois blowout when sophomore forward Frank Kaminsky last played more than 13 minutes for Wisconsin.

Kaminsky had scored just 20 points and grabbed just 15 rebounds in the nine games since early February, but quickly became a focal point of the Wisconsin bench throughout the weekend.

With Berggren sidelined with four fouls, Kaminsky displayed some scoring magic in the Badgers’ comeback victory over Michigan Friday, delivering a couple of daggers into Michigan’s fateful hide with two buckets in the game’s final minutes.

Then, against Indiana,

Sophomore forward Frank Kaminsky emerged as a key contributor off the bench for the Badgers over the course of Big Ten tournament play. On the weekend, Kaminsky scored 13 points in addition to six rebounds and six assists in 43 minutes for UW. Kaminsky came back with an all-around performance, missing the only shot he attempted, but grabbing three offensive rebounds and assisting off two of them to three-pointers by George Marshall and Ben Brust.

Kaminsky was effective once again Sunday for Wisconsin. When the big man stepped in for Berggren in the first half, Kaminsky made his first bucket at the

9:20 mark with a layup off a Mike Bruesewitz assist.

Within the next two minutes, Kaminsky assisted one three-pointer, made a steal on defense and extended the Badgers’ firsthalf lead to seven with a three of his own. In just eight first half minutes, Kaminsky led Wisconsin in scoring.

Throughout the weekend, the Lisle, Ill., native

tallied 13 points on 5-for8 shooting, grabbing six rebounds and six assists in 42 minutes from the forward position.

“His numbers, shootingwise and rebounding, coaches are never totally happy,” head coach Bo Ryan said, noting how Kaminsky’s defensive struggles have kept on the bench more often than not. “I’m not trading him, though.”

Badgers turn to old habits in final game Ian McCue Right on Cue Even before the opening tip of Wisconsin’s Big Ten tournament championship game with Ohio State at the United Center Sunday, it felt like the Badgers’ newfound mojo might start running dry.

Bo Ryan’s group, the one pegged for its ugly style and lack of “talent,” had orchestrated a stunning offensive revival over its last 60 minutes of play dating back to the second half against Michigan Friday. It was almost magical, this team with no proven offensive star taking down one of the nation’s most dangerous offenses in Indiana.

But in a 50-43 loss to second-seeded Ohio State Sunday, Wisconsin was the victim of an effort from Ohio State that mirrored how the Badgers have gathered 23 wins this year in the country’s most competitive college basketball conference.

Per Ryan’s typical protocol, the Badgers’ success centered on limiting turnovers, outrebounding the opponent, hitting timely shots and lockdown defense. It is a system that has brought such success under Ryan, but this year, UW’s success hinged on those key principles more than ever.

When the shots could not find the bottom of the net and the defense made even just a few costly miscues, the results were nothing less than infuriating. Never was this clearer than in the second half against Purdue on Senior Day. In the quarterfinals and semifinals of the Big Ten tournament, these principles melded with a hot-shooting offense and showed that the talk of Wisconsin’s potential to beat any team in the country when the pieces came together was more than coach-speak.

Within the opening minutes it was clear this

championship game would mark a return to the Badgers’ old ways.

Missing its first five shots of the game, Wisconsin players once again grew trigger-happy from outside and finished a measly 16.7 percent from three-point range for the game.

That inaccuracy, combined with a field goal drought that lasted for all of the game’s final seven minutes, brought a sense of head-pounding frustration familiar to Badgers’ fans.

The great equalizer was a defensive effort that limited Ohio State to 38.5 percent from the field and allowed Thad Matta’s team to convert only one of its 16 three-point tries.

Only this time the Buckeyes were even better at Wisconsin’s own strategy for winning.

The most troubling deficiency for Wisconsin Sunday came on the glass.

OSU pulled down 11 more rebounds than UW, another area of the game the Badgers have dominated this year to overcome particularly poor nights shooting the ball.

Some of that was an issue of positioning and not adhering to the most simple of basketball principles — blocking out. But an equally worrisome issue was Ohio State simply had more energy and aggressiveness around the basket, and those loose balls turned into relatively easy baskets.

Sunday proved that for the Badgers to knock off elite national teams, all the pieces must fit squarely together at the same time. This team simply doesn’t have the offensive firepower to not win a strong majority of the rebounding battles and still emerge with stunning victory after stunning victory.

Wisconsin, it seems, can only keep its hands hot for the briefest of stretches.

For this Badger squad, that will likely the difference between a deep tournament round and a first round loss to a dangerous Ole Miss team.

Turning one man’s

since 1969

Sports SWEEP, from 10 back within one on a counterattack goal.

“To score three goals like that, that’s an explosion for us,” Wisconsin head coach Mike Eaves said. “That great start put them in position that they couldn’t get back from.”

Obviously frustrated with the prospects of finishing their season with a secondstraight loss to the Badgers, the Bulldogs couldn’t stay out of the penalty box in the second period and beyond – earning six trips to the penalty box in the second and third periods.

Content to sit back and defend, holding on to a twogoal lead, the Badgers finished off the game midway through the third period after junior winger Tyler Barnes slipped in between two defenders and then cut right on another before putting the Badgers’ fourth goal of the night in the back of the net.

Wisconsin is now headed to the WCHA Final Five which begins Thursday in St. Paul, Minn., an unlikely feat after starting the season 1-7-2.

“In the locker room, we believed what we could do,” Dahl said. “We knew it wasn’t going to be easy, but everyone [did] their part and look where we are now.”

Badgers take first game against Bulldogs, 3-1 Continuing to build it’s resume for a potential NCAA tournament berth after the WCHA Playoffs, the Wisconsin men’s hockey team defeated Minnesota Duluth 3-1 in the first game of the WCHA Playoffs Friday at the Kohl Center.

Finding their range from well outside the crease, the Badgers scored two critical goals off of long-distance efforts to tie, and then to take the lead, in the second period, before icing the game late in the third with an emptynetter.

After having fallen behind on a UMD first-period goal, a deep desperation shot from junior forward Mark Zengerle was deflected into the back of the net by a well-positioned Nic Kerdiles standing directly

STUMBLE, from 10 points thanks to two quick buckets from Thomas, cutting their deficit to 24-23 at the half. The Badgers didn’t score over the half’s final three minutes.

“We didn’t freak out, we got into the huddle, we took a deep breath and we stayed with our system,” Thomas said. “I know a month ago we would’ve freaked out. But we stayed in it and didn’t freak out.”

From there it took only some tough offensive rebounds and extended possessions to get key second chance points, as the Buckeyes used six offensive rebounds to secure nine second-chance points in

in front of UMD’s goaltender six minutes into the second period.

The goal – Kerdiles’ seventh of the season – made Friday’s game Kerdiles’ seventh straight game recording at least one point for the Badgers.

Less than ten minutes later a confident Wisconsin team capped off a solid second period performance – they out-shot their opponents 13-8 – with an even more impressive long-range shot from senior defenseman John Ramage during a secondperiod power play.

“They wore them down,” Ramage said of his teammates. “Just grinded them down, and that wears on you as a defenseman. Being a defenseman, it sucks playing your own net for 1:20 and not getting any offensive chances.

Mentally … it wears you down too.”

Sizing up his shot from the UMD blue line, Ramage shot a laser into the upper corner of the net, just past the outstretched glove of the UMD goaltender.

With the lead in hand, UW seemed content to sit back and rest on its laurels for the rest of the game – riding out its opponent’s pressure to take a commanding lead in the best-of-three series.

This was a completely different game plan from the one that Wisconsin entered the first period with however.

Dominating the first six minutes of the game, the Badgers jumped out to a 9-3 advantage in shots on goal.

But in the eighth minute of the game, UMD scored on a counter-attack against the run of play to take a surprise lead over their hosts.

While the goal put UW in a tough position to come back from, Eaves was happy with sophomore goaltender Joel Rumpel’s, and the rest of the team’s, ability to recover quickly with their season on the line.

“I don’t know how much we gave them in the second period in terms of scoring chances, but when we did, [Rumpel] was there for us. He made some great saves,” Eaves said.

the second half. Ohio State outrebounded Wisconsin 39-28 and held the Badgers to just 3-of-18 shooting from behind the arc.

“Whether it was forcing a questionable shot or grabbing the big rebound, that’s how you win big basketball games,” Craft said. “That’s what we tip our hats on and that’s what we were able to do today.”

Notes: UW’s Jackson and Evans were named to the AllTournament team, as was OSU’s Thomas. ... For the fourth time this season Wisconsin had just one player in double figures.

They are 0-4 in those games. ... Wisconsin will make it’s 15th consecutive appearance in the NCAA tournament next Friday in Kansas City.

Junior forward Jefferson Dahl recorded the first goal in Saturday’s 4-1 victory while leading the UW penalty-kill unit that kept UMD scoreless with the man-advantage throughout the series.

Offense propels UW past UMD Discipline keeps Badgers out of penalty box in Friday, Saturday sweep over Bulldogs Kelly Erickson Men’s Hockey Writer It was mentioned time and again: the hardest thing to do is to end someone’s season — but Saturday night, the Wisconsin men’s hockey team made it look easy.

In a 4-1 rout over Minnesota-Duluth (1419-5, 10-13-5 WCHA) — paired with a 3-1 decision Friday night — Wisconsin (19-12-7, 13-8-7 WCHA) earned its first trip to the WCHA Final Five in three years.

The Badgers looked poised and commanded the momentum much of the 120 minutes of play, but the opening eight minutes of game two made all the difference as three different Badgers netted goals, giving UW a 3-1 lead just less than eight minutes into the opening frame.

“We write the same things on our board every night and ‘great start’ is the first thing we write because stats tell us that the team that scores the first goal has the winning percentage in its favor,”

head coach Mike Eaves said.

The Badgers outscored the Bulldogs 7-2 on the weekend, out-shooting them 33-27 and 35-30 in game one and game two, respectively.

Beyond Wisconsin’s fast start and overbearing offense Saturday night, it was able to stay out of the penalty box, giving UMD only two power play opportunities — one that lasted only 14 seconds due to overlapping penalties from UMD junior forward Joe Basaraba for roughing the goaltender and a cross-check from UW sophomore forward Brendan Woods 14 seconds later.

“It was a mature mindset,” Eaves said of staying out of the box.

“It was a mindset and a maturity in that they did what they had to do. The penalty by Woodsy was a real good reminder that we can’t be doing that stuff. But that was the only time that we really lost our cool, so to speak.”

Coming into the weekend, UMD’s power play operated at a 24

percent clip, but after going 0-for-5 with the man-advantage on the weekend that fell to 23.4 percent — still strong enough for the No. 4 power play in the nation.

Beyond their ability to stay out of the penalty box, the Badgers scored the lone special-teams goal of the weekend as senior John Ramage netted one from the blue line Friday night to give UW a 2-1 lead.

Knowing how strong Minnesota-Duluth’s special teams were prior to the series, winning the special teams tilt was one of Wisconsin’s priorities heading into the weekend. UW credited its penalty kill success to simply closing up shooting lanes.

“They’re a skilled power play and they want to move it side-toside and cross ice,” junior forward Jefferson Dahl said. “Just taking away those lanes and a big thing was getting in front of the pucks because those top two D-men want to shoot it. They are a shooting power

play, and we just wanted to block shots and try to help (goaltender Joel) Rumpel out as much as possible.”

While Dahl helped the penalty kill find success, his line — which he centers with senior Ryan Little and junior Sean Little — set the tone for the series, grinding down low and wearing down UMD’s defense.

With an outstanding effort Friday night, Dahl and his linemates weren’t rewarded until Saturday as they netted the first goal of the contest at the 2:48 mark of the first period.

Working in the slot, Dahl took a short pass from Sean Little and spun around, sending the puck past UMD goaltender Aaron Crandall.

“The bench jumped about a foot and a half when he scored,” Eaves said. “Because they know how many good things [his line] does, and to get a little bit of a reward for that was pleasing to the team and pleasing to those guys because they do work so hard.”

Sophomore Traevon Jackson had an impressive tournament for the Badgers, leading all Wisconsin scorers with 10 points against Ohio State. Jackson would be named to the All-Tournament team along with senior forward Ryan Evans after UW’s 50-43 loss Sunday.

Badgers stumble in B1G finale Scoreless in final 7 minutes, UW title run falters against OSU in 50-43 loss Nick Korger Sports Editor It seemed a fitting end that the last game of conference play in the Big Ten was a 40 minute slugfest, featuring 10 different lead changes and a score that was tied seven times as Wisconsin and Ohio State exchanged blow after blow.

Like it has at numerous points in the season, Wisconsin’s offense went cold when it mattered most, going scoreless from the field in the game’s final seven minutes as

Ohio State captured the Big Ten Tournament title with a 50-43 win.

The win was the Buckeyes third conference tournament title in the last four years, as the Badgers lost in their first appearance in the Big Ten final since 2008.

“We played well, things didn’t go our way today,” redshirt senior forward Mike Bruesewitz said. “We have to put this one behind us, have amnesia and get back to work on Monday. Now we’ve got the Big Dance, and we have to take care of business there too.”

The Buckeyes’ Deshaun Thomas led all scorers with 17 points, helping his team overcome 1-of-16 shooting from three in the victory.

Sophomore Traevon Jackson led the Badgers with 10

points.

“I thought we had a chance to run the gauntlet but just didn’t have quite enough in us,” Wisconsin head coach Bo Ryan said. “Our guys got them to take some pretty tough shots for the most part.”

Picking up right where they left off from the first half, the Buckeyes and Badgers exchanged blows back and forth. Neither team was able to amount a lead more than two points until there were just five minutes remaining in the game.

With the score knotted at 41-41, Wisconsin turned the ball over and Aaron Craft — who was named the Big Ten Tournament’s MVP — got his hands on it, taking the ball coast-to-coast for a layup.

After Evans missed the first of a bonus free throw situation,

the Buckeyes gained ground thanks to the timely play of LaQuinton Ross. The sophomore forward brought down a big offensive rebound on a missed jumper by Thomas and took it up strong, drawing a foul on Evans on his make, giving OSU a 45-41 lead.

“I think the turning point of the game was when LaQuinton Ross got that offensive rebound and that was on me,” Jackson said.

“He really stepped up for them. They just got the extra second-chance points. We played good defense, they just got the hustle points in this one.”

Ross wasn’t done yet, scoring on a spinning layup in the lane over Ben Brust after another Wisconsin turnover, giving Ohio State a 47-41 lead.

“I thought Q was tremendous,” Ohio State head coach Thad Matta said. “He did have a couple timely field goals for us and a couple big rebounds. That’s what we need from LaQuinton at that spot.”

Jackson finally gave the Badgers their first points in nearly four minutes with a pair of free throws, narrowing his team’s deficit to 47-43.

A double-dribble by Craft on the following possession gave Wisconsin a chance to narrow the gap further, but two attempts from deep by Brust and Bruesewitz rimmed in and out and Evans missed an open jumper, sealing the game for Ohio State.

Ohio State was very controlled on offense to start the first half against Wisconsin. Patiently playing

a half-court game, the Buckeyes earned several early baskets from backdoor cuts, with Thomas catching Evans sleeping to give his team a 13-6 lead.

But, like they’ve had throughout the tournament, the Badgers had an answer with a big run, as big-man sophomore Frank Kaminsky scored five points in a 13-0 run to put Wisconsin back on top with a 13-0 run.

Kaminsky’s last bucket, a kick-out three pointer at the top of the key from Evans on the right block, gave the Badgers a 20-13 lead.

Then Ohio State made a run of its own. After an Evans lay-up made it 24-15 for the Badgers, the Buckeyes answered with eight straight

UW earns spot in Final Five with weekend sweep Badgers leash Bulldogs in back-to-back nights, winning 3-1 Friday, 4-1 Saturday Nick Daniels Sports Content Editor In a game that might be better remembered for the numerous penalties and scuffles than the quality of play, the Wisconsin men’s hockey team (20-12-7, 14-8-7 WCHA) clinched a spot in the WCHA Final Five with a 4-1 win over Minnesota-Duluth (14-20-5, 10-14-5) Saturday, completing the series sweep after winning 3-1 Friday.

Opening up as a game with plenty on the line for both teams, the Badgers dominated from the get-go Saturday.

After scoring in the third minute of the first period, Wisconsin never looked back, adding two more goals over the next five minutes to give UW a commanding 3-1 lead entering the first intermission.

The second goal of the game, scored in the fifth minute of play, would ultimately be the game winner.

Scored in a typical fashion for junior winger Michael Mersch, a shot by sophomore winger Joseph LaBate got lost in the confusion right in front of the net before Mersch swooped in to put the puck away off the rebound.

This came just minutes after junior center Jefferson Dahl earned the first goal when he received the puck in the slot from junior winger Sean Little and turning to flip a shot into the top shelf of the net.

Wisconsin would cap off its scoring frenzy with a goal from the left circle by freshman Kevin Schulze after UMD had brought the game
