Regent bill in pipeline ASM, lawmaker collaborate on legislation to increase student voice in selection process Lexi Harrison Herald Contributor A new bill would require the governor to pick University of Wisconsin System student regents from a list campus student governments make, rather than just considering people students recommend.

Sen. Fred Risser, D-Madison, is seeking cosponsors on the bill that changes how the governor appoints new student regents. The bill is part of the Associated Students of Madison’s campaign for the

session.

Under current law, the governor receives a list from UW System campus governments of students they recommend for the two Board of Regents spots. But the governor is not required to do anything with that list and can pick students who are not recommended, according to the Legislative Reference Bureau.

The bill would require the governor to select someone from the list, which Risser said may result in students

Tribal leader speaks out against mining legislation Man denounces lack of input from tribes in bill discussions, says cooperation needed Polo Rocha Senior Legislative Editor A top Wisconsin tribal leader criticized the passage of the mining law in a speech to the Legislature Tuesday, calling for improving state and tribal relationships and

cooperation.

Gordon Thayer, chair of the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin, gave the State of the Tribes speech Tuesday.

He told a joint session of legislators that Wisconsin tribes oppose the mining law passed this year.

“We cannot cash in our natural resources for corporate profit,” Thayer said.

Thayer said despite there being some positive aspects in tribal and state relations,

the mining bill process showed there is much room for improvement.

Thayer said the mining process showed legislators often do not get input from “all affected parties.”

“A lesson to be learned from this is that better consultation between the states and the tribes is needed,” Thayer said.

“Make no mistake. The 11 tribes in Wisconsin oppose the proposed mine and its permitting process, and we stand unified … with our relatives at the Bad River

Reservation.”

The mining bill passed earlier this year largely on party lines, with Republicans saying the bill protects the environment.

Democrats, the tribe and environmental groups said the mine would deteriorate water levels at the tribe reservation.

Sen. Tom Tiffany, R-Hazelhurst, one of the mining law’s top advocates, said tribal leaders did not want a mine at all and were not willing to work out a compromise.

“Back when the hearings were held in late 2011, [they] made it very clear that the mine was unacceptable under any condition,” Tiffany said. “They made their position very clear from the beginning.”

Tiffany also said some Republican outreach efforts, including a letter to the Bad River tribe chairman, were not returned.

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, thanked Thayer for speaking to

legislators in the annual speech in a statement.

“The State of the Tribes Address is a great opportunity to come together and learn more about the issues important to Wisconsin’s tribes,” Vos said. “It’s essential that we maintain good government-to-government communications and find the areas of shared interests. While we may not agree on every issue,

Zellers mum on alcohol policy Bennet Goldstein Herald Contributor

April showers...

With spring technically underway, some are finding the wet and cold weather to be a downer.

Claire Larkins The Badger Herald

Ledell Zellers recent election as the alder representing a large part of downtown and the Langdon Street area could have consequences on downtown alcohol policy in the future.

Zellers, who will join Madison’s City Council April 17, said she supports making Madison a safe place to live and will have to do more research on data surrounding alcohol policy before she takes a strong stance on many issues.

“I want people to be responsible,” she said.

Zellers has supported the Alcohol License Density Ordinance, a city law that limits where bars and similar establishments can be located to areas that have previously held an alcohol license and come into focus in Alcohol License Review Committee discussions.

Zellers said she is unsure if she will support ALDO in the future because she needs to look at the data to see if the claims of benefits — lower crime and violence — made by proponents of ALDO are true.

However, some have called Zellers an advocate of stricter alcohol policies, pointing to her actions as the president of Capitol Neighborhoods Inc. in 2008. That year, CNI advocated for a policy that would have increased prices and taxes on alcoholic beverages as well as proposed a crackdown on underage drinking citations under Zellers’ leadership.

During the race for the District 2 seat, Zellers’ opponent Bryan Post was vocal about this issue, calling these policies “draconian” and saying Zellers will only advocate for her own interests.

Madison ranks 5th in list of best cities for “foodies” Alex Arriaga Herald Contributor Food-conscious consumers consistently find themselves with a wide range of dining options in Madison, according to Livability, which ranked they city as the fifth-best for “foodies.”

According to Livability’s

“Top Ten Foodie Cities 2013: A Second Helping,” Madison has all the elements that attract those with a curiosity for food, from innovative chefs at many popular farm-totable Madison restaurants to easy access to fresh, locally-grown ingredients in most of the grocery stores in the area.

Diane Morganthaler, vice president of marketing at Greater Madison Convention & Visitors Bureau, said people are caring more about where their food is coming from.

“I think we’re pretty aware of where our food comes from, and I think something we’re really proud [of] is that a lot

of it comes from around Madison,” she said.

She said encouraging local producers is another way city residents can support the local economy, and people take that very seriously, as well.

Livability credits Madison for access to farmto-table restaurants, such as Fresco and Nostrano.

Madison also hosts the nation’s largest producersonly farmer’s market, where around 170 vendors serve up to 200,000 people, according to Livability.

The Willy Street Co-op is another asset to Madison’s attraction for foodies, the ranking said.

The city is also home to a wide range of popular

food events, including the World’s Largest Brat Fest, Isthmus Beer and Cheese Fest and the Herb Fair, Livability said.

Madison’s ranking as No. 5 in the United States comes behind cities such as Decatur, Ga., and Berkeley, Calif.

Julia Skulstad This week marks the beginning of 2013’s Out and About Month, a cross-campus event that highlights cooperation and support for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender issues at the University of Wisconsin.

This emphasis on cocurricular partnerships is what makes this year’s Out and About Month — to take place April 9-26 — different from previous years, according to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Campus Center Associate Director Katherine Briggs.

Highly anticipated is the UW Drag Spectacular! show, featuring JuJuBee from RuPaul’s Drag Race, among local drag queens and student performers to take place Thursday, April

11, Briggs said. She said 300 people are expected to attend.

The keynote speech

by Alison Bechdel to take place Wednesday, April 17, Briggs said, is another significant event, which is expected to draw 250 attendees.

Briggs said the drag show and the keynote speech represent both sides of the month: community building and educational outreach. She said the drag show will be a social, high-energy and fun event that brings in a lot of students, and the keynote speech, which will be more educational, will bring in a greater variety of people from the Madison community.

The month is important because it furthers the year-long effort to send

important messages to LGBT people and their allies, according to LGBT CC Director Gabe Javier.

“I think it’s a really exciting time for a number of reasons for LGBTQ people,” Javier said.

“We are hoping to show support.”

The Queer Emerging Leaders Program reception that took place Tuesday, as the opening event of the month, allowed students who participated in a semester-long leadership and community service program to present their work, Javier said. The reception featured the partnerships students in the program have been working on all semester.

The reception will be the culmination of the work of 12 students involved in the program over the past 10

weeks with community and campus agencies, Briggs said. She said the reception will show how those interested can better serve queer students and become involved with assisting work in the agencies participating.

Agencies in cooperation include the LGBT CC, the Madison Fire Department, OutReach, NARAL ProChoice, Associated Students of Madison, Adventure Learning Programs and University Health Services.

The month’s final event, the “Queer Prom: A Night of Truth, Beauty, Freedom and Love,” will be a “big, fancy event” with a Moulin Rouge theme, according to Briggs. She said the event is sponsored by University Housing and should draw a large turnout.

As for the overall expected involvement, Briggs said she hopes the scope of the month will attract a large audience.

“Because there is such a wide variety of things, we hope there is something for everyone,” Briggs said.

“Everyone is welcome; you don’t have to be gay to come.”

Briggs emphasized that anyone is welcome to attend the events of Out and About Month. She said she knows that sometimes there can be hesitation with people who are afraid of being identified with a particular identity, but added that this is just a big celebration and anyone should feel welcome.

Like any program, Briggs said, LGBT CC also hopes to reach out to people they have not seen before.

Statewide emergency preparation storms in With declaration from Gov. Scott Walker, April 15-19 marks Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness Week Julia Skulstad Senior Campus Editor The thunderstorms and rain showers that University of Wisconsin students trudged through Tuesday, amid the expected weather for the rest of the week, set a fitting background for Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness Week that will start next week.

With a declaration from Gov. Scott Walker, the week of April 15-19 will increase needed awareness for Wisconsin residents, according to University Police Department Emergency Management Supervisor Bill Curtis.

Curtis said a statewide tornado drill planned for next Thursday is important because it provides

Wisconsin citizens with a reminder about where to go and other procedures involved with a tornado.

“Just like a fire drill that we do in school, it is important to test and increase awareness when it comes to tornadoes, because they do happen in Wisconsin,” Curtis said. “It’s always good to have a reminder that severe weather can happen.”

As a part of next Thursday’s drill, a statewide mock tornado watch by the National Weather Service will be released at 1 p.m., according to a UW statement.

A statewide mock tornado warning will then follow at 1:45 p.m., the statement said.

Preparation is key in any setting, according to University of Wisconsin Police Department

spokesperson Marc Lovicott.

He said for university, business and home settings alike, people should be prepared for emergencies.

A tornado drill, Curtis added, allows a building’s occupants to practice the recommended steps to protect themselves.

The week is timely, according to Curtis, because it falls just before the late-spring and summer months when the majority of tornado and severe weather activity occurs in Wisconsin. However, he added, tornadoes can and have happened every month in the state.

It is important that this drill takes place in early April, Curtis added, in order to get people thinking about what to do right before

the severe weather season begins.

Everyone should have a method of being notified of severe weather, Curtis said.

Anything from a weather radio to a cell phone app will suffice, he added.

Next Thursday’s drill will provide much-needed emergency preparation, Lovicott said.

“We need to be prepared for emergencies,” Lovicott said. “What better way than to have a drill to practice and be ready for [them].”

On the importance of the awareness week, Lovicott said having family, business and campus plans is important so individuals are ready to handle severe weather if it occurs.

Professor wins Hilldale award Sharon Dunwoody outlines optimism for future of journalism, science writing Sarah Eucalano City Hall Editor

Campuswide LGBT awareness event begins Senior Campus Editor

Herald editorial

TOMORROW

Sharon Dunwoody, a professor who specializes in science communication at University of Wisconsin’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication, has won the Hilldale Award for professors in social science.

She said she studies how people use messages in the media to make decisions about science issues, such as global warming. She focuses on how those messages in the media help people decide if they are interested in the issue and want to do something about it.

Dunwoody said her research has found that many people do not pay much attention to science information. She said this is called “superficial processing,” which causes people who are trying to share an issue with the public to be only partially successful.

Her research investigates what leads people to pay closer attention to science information in the media. She found people pay more attention to information that affects them personally or makes them worry.

A major reason global warming often does not receive attention is because people do not see it as impacting them personally, she said.

She said technology helps keep up the pressure when people do go looking for information. When people decide to seek out information, it is not always at the same time when journalists report on this issue, she said.

Technology allows people to look up coverage weeks or months after journalists reported it, she added.

Dunwoody said she is excited for a class she is teaching in the fall, which is a freshman interest group on the social science

of climate change. She said part of the money she received from the Hilldale Award will go toward creating activities that will help the students stay engaged.

She said she became interested in journalism when her teachers told her she was a good writer and journalism seemed like a natural career path for her. Dunwoody received a double major in journalism and political science and originally wanted to cover politics. Somehow she got into science journalism by accident, she said.

A southern Texas newspaper to which she applied lost its science writer, so the editor asked her if she wanted the position and she started the next Monday, she said.

Dunwoody, originally from Indiana, joked that she tried to get as far from the state as possible.

“I had always known of [UW] as a great university,” she said. “I was working

at another university …

I got an opportunity to interview [at UW] and jumped at the chance. A top university offered me a job; it just took me a few seconds to decide.”

Although science reporting, particularly reporting on global climate change, is often seen as an uphill battle, Dunwoody remains positive. She said she frequently brainstorms about problems.

“Somebody often comes up with a really creative idea,” she said. “It doesn’t solve the problem, but it gives you a path to move forward.”

Dunwoody said she worries about where future journalists, especially good science journalists, will come from as the field of journalism continues to change. But she said she remains hopeful for the future of journalism, especially nonprofit journalism, like the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism.

mandatory and any instance of severe weather in Wisconsin will postpone the drill until the next day, the statement said.

Wisconsin, which experiences an average of 21 tornadoes each year, saw a record of 62 tornadoes in 2005, according to the Wisconsin Historical Society’s Dictionary of Wisconsin History.

A record-setting 27 tornadoes occurred Aug. 18, 2005, and this number was three times higher than the previous record documented in Wisconsin during one day in 1988, according to WHS. During that day, the biggest tornado to form was established just five miles south of Madison near Fitchburg, according to WHS.

MINING, from 1 we can agree to listen to each other’s concerns and work together on problems facing our state.”

Thayer did point to some positives in state and tribal relationships, such as Gov. Scott Walker signing a brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in support of protecting the Indian Child Welfare Act. He also said tribes play a large part in the state’s economy, giving an example of the nationwide Famous Dave’s barbecue restaurant chain. The chain’s member is still a part of Thayer’s tribe.

Thayer also took issue with the Department of Natural Resources response to the tribe’s proposed increase in walleye fishing.

He charged the agency with trying to “embarrass” tribes into fishing less through its news releases.

DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp said in a statement following the speech that the “drastic increase” the tribes proposed would lead to limiting other fishermen activity.

That would decrease tourists in those areas, which would harm the areas’ economies, he said.

Air Force ROTC program top in nation for fitness Julia Skulstad Senior Campus Editor After earning a secondplace rating last year, the University of Wisconsin Air Force Reserve Officers’ Training Corps reached its goal to earn the top ranking in the nation for physical fitness.

Cadets in the program earned an average physical fitness score of 97.42 out of 100, according to a UW statement.

Earning this spot came through a spirit of friendly competition, according to ROTC Lt. Col. Todd Berge. He said the process

involved a lot of cadet support and became like a “self-licking ice cream cone” that fed upon itself.

As commander, Berge said he introduced the goal to become number one in fitness when he took on his position two and a half years ago. He said cadets embraced the intense workout program that came as a result.

The physical fitness assessments cadets had to complete were based on a test broken down to 100 points, according to Berge.

For the test, he said men and women had to meet minimum requirements to pass and all strove to reach

maximum levels to earn full points.

As a part of the test, Berge said men could reach the maximum points by completing 67 pushups in one minute, 58 sit-ups in one minute and run a mile and a half in less than nine minutes and 12 seconds.

Women, Berge added, had to complete 47 pushups in one minute, 54 sit-ups in one minute and run a mile and a half in less than 10 minutes and 23 seconds.

“It is intense,” Berge said. “We have kids that do regurgitate during or after a test.”

The tests are as easy or hard as participants

make them, according to Capt. Scott Paeth. He said they are not a pleasant experience and added that while hard work does not make the tasks easier, it makes it easier for cadets to do well on them.

In terms of recruitment, Berge said he believes earning this recognition will bring benefits.

Two years ago, Madison’s Air Force ROTC program won the Right of Line Award recognizing the best detachment in the nation, Berge said. Since then, he added, Madison’s Air Force ROTC program upgraded from the small to mediumsize category and he said he

would attribute the increase to winning the award.

Madison’s program, currently at 85 cadets, is the largest the program has been since the Vietnam era, according to Berge. He said when he was a part of UW’s Air Force ROTC chapter there were about 40 cadets in the program. Since then, he added the program has more than doubled in size.

From a recruiting standpoint, this recognition will allow Madison’s Air Force ROTC program to put it out to prospective students that the Madison program is the best in the nation, Paeth said. They will tell recruits that if they

want to be the best, they have to train with the best, he added.

For current students, Paeth said this recognition gives them something to strive for and a goal to maintain.

“A big part of setting goals is to put the expectation out there,” Paeth said. “We did that day one.”

This is Berge’s third and final year as commander.

Reflecting on this, he said he thinks in his time in the position he has instilled the desire for cadets to be number one in not just physical fitness, but everything they do.

State Senate passes work share bill on party line Legislation will let Wisconsin employers reduce wages rather than lay off workers Polo Rocha Senior Legislative Editor The Senate passed legislation Tuesday that would allow employers to cut worker hours rather than lay some employees off.

The bill passed on party lines, with all 18 Republicans voting for it and all 15 Democrats voting against it, despite a number of them saying the bill is a “good idea.”

It would give unemployment benefits to employees who get their hours cut, as long as the Department of Workforce Development approves the employer’s program.

The bill will now head to Gov. Scott Walker’s desk for his final signature.

Although they supported the rest of the bill, Democrats took issue with Republicans not including language they said would protect privatesector union collective bargaining.

Republicans said the language was not necessary, claiming the protections already exist in state and federal law.

Sen. Julie Lassa, D-Stevens Point, who introduced a

similar bill last session, said the amendment was necessary to give businesses certainty.

Without the amendment, she said, the proposed work-share programs could face legal challenges.

“By approving this amendment, it makes sure that there is certainty for businesses who have union employees by making sure they’re able to work together in implementing a work-share plan,” Lassa said. “If this is not done … then that can go to the [National Labor Relations Board] and get appealed.”

A number of Democrats said the bill, without the amendment, would move

Wisconsin closer to becoming a right-to-work state.

The state’s Unemployment Insurance Advisory Council, which is made up of equal amounts of labor and business representatives, supports the amendment.

But the bill’s author, Sen. Paul Farrow, R-Pewaukee, said the council also acknowledges federal and state law would still cover the programs. Adding the Democratic amendment to the bill, Farrow said, would be “redundant.”

“In this situation, that’s already covered by these laws — by the contracts that are in place,” Farrow said. “I fail to see how we’re trying to

single-handedly change the collective bargaining laws by one small program that could affect companies across this state and give them another tool that allows them to hang on to their skilled labor.”

Democrats noted the council’s support for the bill, and they said they were concerned with breaking away from the decades-long tradition of approving its recommendations.

Sen. Fred Risser, D-Madison, who has been in the Legislature since the 1950s, said that was a major change.

“Through the years when Republicans were in charge, through the years when

Democrats were in charge, this body, in a bipartisan way, paid attention to the advisory committee,” Risser said. “It was a good idea. Now what’s happened is that this good idea is being disregarded by the current Republican majority.”

Farrow said he “understands” there is precedent for passing the council’s recommendations, but he said Democrats’ claims that the bill would harm unions were unfounded.

In a statement, Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, praised the Senate for passing legislation that would “protect jobs and help businesses.”

New Metcalfe’s, apartment building approved for downtown Committee passes proposal for grocer to occupy empty lot on East Washington Sarah Eucalano City Hall Editor A city committee decided Tuesday the 800 block of East Washington Avenue will gain an apartment building and a Metcalfe’s, a local Wisconsin grocer that currently has three locations in the state.

The committee chose Metcalfe’s because it said to be the best fit for the neighborhood. But if Metcalfe’s plans fall through, the committee decided the second-best plan for a Madison Fresh Market will be allowed to move into the spot.

Members of the East Washington Avenue 800 Block North Committee praised Metcalfe’s plans but raised some concerns over the grocery chain’s treatment of the union that represents the grocery store workers.

The project will include

the 50,000-square-foot grocery store, according to Metcalfe’s development proposal. The project will also include offices, retail stores, a restaurant and apartments, according to the proposal.

The proposal said the project will create affordable housing by making 20 percent of the apartments meet the price range of potential residents who earn 60 percent of the Dane County median income.

The project includes space for bike parking and a parking garage, according to the proposal.

Mark Sweet, a labor attorney, said Metcalfe’s recently said they support the union in all three of their stores and had successfully negotiated with each union.

He said he is concerned because Metcalfe’s released a statement to its workers claiming they did not need to be represented by a union and should vote no in a June 1, 2012, vote for a union.

“I believe the community of Madison should think about Metcalfe’s history with

unions and how it has changed over the past week,” Sweet said.

He also said Metcalfe’s has illegally taken workers’ health care premiums and wants workers to increase their insurance premiums.

This will take money out of the city and away from workers, he added.

Ald. Marsha Rummel, District 6, said she was disappointed to see Metcalfe’s directly agitating a union. She encouraged Metcalfe’s to take a position of neutrality around the unions.

Committee member Joseph Lusson said he was upset about the labor disputes and would like to see a larger rooftop farm on the building. He said he hopes the labor dispute can be solved internally in the company.

Lusson said he supports increasing the amount of available housing in the project.

“We want to embrace creating a benefit for the workers and society at large,” she said.

Committee member Thomas Landgraf said he strongly supports including affordable housing in

the project. He said he would like to increase the housing that is set aside for potential residents that make a fraction of the median county income.

Ald. Bridget Maniaci, District 2, said the project is

successful because it is what the constituents want, and the city was successfully able to decide what they wanted from the project so it can be built.

She said she is excited to see the project move

forward and wants to see the neighborhood thrive.

Ald. Mark Clear, District 19, said he was also excited about the project.

“It’s been a true community effort, and that makes it even better,” he said.

Family Care sees expansion push Groups call for revamp to Medicaid program that provides care to elderly, disabled in state Arthur Bartram Herald Contributor A Medicaid program that aims to give elderly and disabled people care in their homes or assisted living facilities has seen its per-person costs decrease, leading to some health care groups pushing for an expansion of the program.

The state’s Family Care program, which gives care to elderly and disabled persons in settings other than nursing homes, saw its average cost of caring per person decrease by 3.7 percent to a 2010 monthly cost of $2,887 per person, according to the Department of Health Services. As it currently only operates in 57 of the state’s 72 counties, advocates pushed for expanding the program in the 15 remaining counties.

Ed Kohl, family care officer for Community Care, a Milwaukee-based managed care organization, called it an “interesting disparity,” as people in those counties still pay for the taxes that fund the program.

“Based on where you live, you might not receive care, and the people in those counties are paying just as much,” Kohl said.

Kohl said potential beneficiaries in the 15 counties are often cared for under another Medicaid program that capped its enrollment. That has led to a wait list among many in those counties, he said.

In July 2011, Gov. Scott Walker and a Republicancontrolled Legislature temporarily capped enrollment of new patients for Family Care. The next year, as the program’s spending was now under control, they lifted the restriction but kept a ban that restricted the program’s expansion to those 15

counties.

Michael Blumenfeld, spokesperson for Wisconsin Family Care Association, said in order for the expansion to happen, the Legislature would have to be convinced the expansion would not raise the state’s overall expenditures.

Blumenfeld said the status quo currently pushes more people to nursing homes, rather than less costly alternatives.

Switching that model, he said, would decrease costs.

“Right now, you might well have people in nursing home beds because that’s an entitlement and more

“Based on where you live, you might not receive care.”

affordable care is not,” Blumenfeld said.

According to a January Legislative Fiscal Bureau report, the first two years of the expansion would likely save money, as home and assisted living care is less costly than nursing homes.

But over time, the report said, the expansion could raise the state’s expenditures significantly.

According to DHS, the state’s aging population and increased health care costs overall could lead to increasing program costs.

“It’s a delicate balance,” Kohl said. “Each individual is cheaper to treat through Family Care, but it’s a big debate what will happen financially in the long run if we start covering that waiting list.”

The Madison farmers’ market, which returns April 20, is an integral part of the city’s food culture, according to rankings from Livability. The publication ranked Madison fifth in the nation for “foodies.”

FOODIES, from 1 Morganthaler said the foodie movement differs from region to region, with many communities having traditional local foods. She said when someone goes to Boston, they have lobster; if they go to New Orleans, they probably eat gumbo.

“We’re not that kind of a market,” she said.

“I think we’re really a melting pot of all the groups that have moved into our Midwest area, and we just have so many options available to us.”

Cheri Schweitzer, a restaurant consultant for Credible Consulting,

works with many local Madison restaurants and is familiar with the food culture.

She said Madison is a university town full of entrepreneurs and people with entrepreneurial spirit.

Those people are naturally adventurous, so they want adventurous food as well, she said.

According to Schweitzer, the food movement in Madison is not confined to locallygrown vegetables. Many local restaurants that she works with obtain their meat from within 100 miles, she said.

She used Dan Fox as

BILL, from 1 paying more attention to who they appoint for the list of recommendations.

“If the students realize the governor will pay attention to their recommendations, hopefully it will give them great incentive to put more time into their recommendations,” Risser said.

Daniel Statter, legislative affairs chair for ASM, said the bill’s goal is to increase student involvement and appoint regents who are more representative of the student body.

The student regents voted for a 5.5 percent tuition increase last summer and did not vote for an amendment that would have lowered tuition by less. Statter said student regents would be more aligned with UW System students’ views under the proposed process that has support systemwide as well as from United Council of UW Students.

Zellers said she questions statements made by proponents of ALDO, especially the arguments made regarding the ordinance’s benefit to the presence of retail stores on State Street. She said trends have shown a decrease in retail stores throughout the country, not just in Madison, so she is unsure if the ordinance helps in that area.

As far as student-oriented policy, she said she strongly supports an ordinance that allows underage drinkers to call for emergency assistance when criminal and other harmful activity is happening. She praised the Madison Police Department

The bill is in the process of being introduced in the Legislature and only small changes are being made to reflect current law, such as changing the language that the governor “may” choose from the list to the governor “shall” choose from it.

Risser said the bill’s few changes would help in moving it along.

“It should help,” Risser said. “I don’t see any strong reason to oppose

for not charging underage drinkers when they call the MPD for help. She said this helps the police respond to crimes and allows students who may be drinking to report crime without being afraid of receiving a drinking ticket.

A student representative on the ALRC, Rachel Lepak, said providing students with additional options for safe drinking is something she will continue to advocate for on behalf of the Associated Students of Madison.

She described the importance of providing entertainment venues that serve alcohol, which present a drinking culture that does not encourage overconsumption.

Lepak said District 2 plays a significant role in discussions of alcohol policy, because many of the city’s bars and taverns are located there.

“It will be a challenge because District 2 does fall

prevalent throughout Madison, she said.

With a food movement that has so much momentum in progress, Schweitzer said possible future achievements for food in Madison include bringing the foodie movement to children.

“One thing that needs to happen is all the things that are getting put on the adult menu need to be put on the kids menu,” she said.

“That’s not happening; you still see chicken nuggets served in schools.”

The movement for farm-to-cafeteria table may be next, she said.

it.”

Statter described the current appointment status as very “close to the chest” and often leading to picks that are based off political connections instead of student involvement on campus.

A spokesperson for Gov. Scott Walker did not respond to a request for comment.

Mike Mikalsen, spokesperson for Rep. Stephen Nass, R-Whitewater, the chair of the the Assembly’s Colleges and Universities Committee, said he could not yet comment on the bill.

Statter said each campus makes a minimum of one recommendation.

Although student representatives currently have a say in which candidates would make the list, the goal is to get more students directly involved.

“The first step is to acknowledge that gubernatorial appointments for student regents has not resulted in student regents that are not representative of students,” Statter said.

in a part of State Street that does affect us a lot, as well as other parts of the town that are in that [area],” Lepak said.

“That will be a challenge we will have see to. I’m excited to see what [Zellers] has to offer.”

Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said alcohol policy is an important issue for many University of Wisconsin students.

He said student issues will be central to adequate representation of District 2 and City Hall, given the large number of students that are residents of that district.

“Alcohol will be part and parcel with that representation of student interests,” Verveer said.

“I think Ledell will do an excellent job balancing the sometimes competing interests of her constituents, be they students and nonstudents alike.”

The Badger Herald | Opinion | Wednesday, April 10, 2013

LGBT lawyers miss big point Spencer Lindsay Columnist During our spring break, the U.S. Supreme Court heard Perry v.

Hollinger and Windsor v.

United States, two cases on the constitutionality of gay marriage bans.

The court will release its decisions on both cases before the session ends in June. Both cases focus on the equal protection clause in the 14th Amendment.

While gay marriage certainly is an equal protection issue, the case should have been argued on different grounds. The right to marry the person you love is protected by the Ninth Amendment.

Because the rights of man cannot be listed, nor can the evolution of the rights of man be foreseen, the purpose of the Ninth Amendment is to preserve rights that are not listed in the Constitution. Going forward into a new era of human knowledge and capabilities, unenumerated rights must be recognized in order to protect people from infringement on those rights. The court should broaden its interpretation of the Ninth Amendment to protect the people.

When the founders wrote the Constitution, they debated at length over whether or not they should have added the Bill of Rights. Many feared that if the rights of the people were formally listed, then the government could later take the position that the rights listed as the only rights the people had.

As a compromise, James Madison drafted the Ninth Amendment, which read, “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” Without the addition of the Ninth Amendment, ratification of the Bill of Rights may have never happened.

The Ninth Amendment is the most important and underused amendment in the Constitution because it is the sole protector of the rights not listed in the Constitution. Today, the Supreme Court has a rather narrow opinion of the Ninth Amendment.

The right to a living wage, an education and privacy, the right to make certain decisions about one’s body and the right to adequate medical treatment are not listed in the Constitution.

This does not mean that these rights do not exist. The government has implemented some forms of protection for these rights through subconstitutional law.

President Barack Obama’s health care reform fundamentally establishes the right to adequate medical treatment for all Americans. No Child Left Behind may have weakened education in practice, but it extended the idea that every American has the right to an education. Minimum wage attempted to establish the right of the people to earn a living wage, but nothing puts this in cement unless we recognize it as an unenumerated constitutional right.

We need to establish

a fundamental ideal that the people are entitled to rights such as these. Our society has established rights such as these over the years, but without formal recognition, they are not safe. Gay marriage is a 14th Amendment case, but it also could have been argued as a Ninth Amendment case.

When the government says you cannot marry (at least in a legal sense) who you want to marry, this is an infringement on your unenumerated rights.

The government simply has no right to tell you who you can and cannot marry.

Ron Paul is wrong about many things, but his political philosophy is correct in its emphasis on individual freedoms and liberties. There are certain ways in which the government should not interfere with our lives.

Our society recognizes unenumerated rights and our government has been forced to put protections on some of these rights.

Our society will benefit from the expansion of the rights of the individual in a constitutional sense because it will make clearer the injustices in our society.

For example, because waiters and waitresses are allowed to make as little as $2.33 per hour because they earn tips, as opposed to the normal minimum wage of $7.25, their right to earn a living wage is called into question in some cases. If, for instance, the restaurant has a slow week or two, the wages of waiters and waitresses can fluctuate dramatically — this can be very dangerous to their well-being and it

“... the purpose of the Ninth Amendment is to preserve rights that are not listed in the Constitution. ... The court should broaden its interpretation of the Ninth Amendment to protect the people.”

Andy Fate The Badger Herald

While Rebecca Blank has not yet begun serving as chancellor, her politics and policies have already been unjustly criticized by politicians such as Sen. Glen Grothman, R-West Bend.

Herald Editorial Grothman fires blanks Sen. Glenn Grothman, R-West Bend, recently put out a press release calling on the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents to “reject Rebecca Blank and her radical policies.” Before we get into the details of Grothman’s attack on Blank, we want to be absolutely clear: Grothman is a troll.

His highlight reel of inane attacks includes: calling Planned Parenthood the nation’s “most racist organization,” saying money means more to men than women and claiming America is facing an epidemic of women “adopting a single motherhood lifestyle” in order to benefit from the available “government largesse.”

But Grothman is an influential go-between for Wisconsin’s conservatives who need someone to help make sense of Madison’s zaniness. Hence, a somewhat rambling statement about the horrors that would ensue if the regents were to approve Rebecca Blank as this university’s next chancellor.

As UW’s student voice, we want to take a moment to debunk some of Grothman’s thoughts on Blank in case anyone actually believes what he has said.

One of Grothman’s complaints

is that Blank is not the “overtly pro-business chancellor who would try to connect with the business community” that he would have liked. Apparently, the acting secretary of the Department of Commerce of the United States of America isn’t pro-business enough for Grothman. We believe that Blank is actually very well-positioned at the crossroads of business, academia and public policy.

Grothman also accuses Blank of not planning to address “spiraling tuition increases, which are driving our young people deeper into debt.”

We are glad Grothman has decided to take an interest in rising tuition costs — perhaps he could have considered those when he voted for Gov. Scott Walker’s budget, which cut $250 million in state funding to the university.

Considering his unimpressive track record as an advocate for UW students, we don’t understand why Grothman is attacking Blank for her views on tuition, especially since she has not yet begun serving as chancellor.

Grothman goes on to say Blank has “declared war on the next generation by advocating for tuition increases.” While Blank told us in her questionnaire that reduced state

support has led to greater pressure for tuition increase, she also said that the university “needs to work hard at expanding its funding sources other than tuition and state funding.”

People much more relevant than Glenn Grothman have given Blank their support — from both sides of the aisle. President Barack Obama said Blank will be “an outstanding chancellor for years to come,” and Gov. Scott Walker said she is a “great pick” who “has a keen knowledge of economic issues that can help the UW promote great prosperity in the state.”

So, while Grothman has been obnoxiously vocal in his disapproval of Blank, it comes as some consolation that his complaints have been drowned out by voices of reason. Grothman loves playing the contrarian, and the devil’s advocate has a place in our political discourse.

Here, though, he is just doing it for the sake of argument and — dare we say — because he enjoys the attention.

Rest assured, the regents, and reasonable people in general, have paid this no mind. Unlike Grothman, we would actually like to see what sort of chancellor Blank turns out to be before we judge her.

If they can’t quit because they need some source of immediate income, they are, in a sense, trapped.

The authors of the Declaration of Independence, the document on which this nation is founded, considered it self-evident that people are entitled to “certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Central to the pursuit of happiness are rights such as those mentioned earlier in this article.

Surely the right to pursue happiness, within reason, must be recognized so long as it does not infringe on the rights of others.

Had these gay marriage cases been argued on the basis of the Ninth Amendment, they would have represented an effort to assure that the rights reserved for the people were truly reserved for the people. The Supreme Court should broaden its interpretation of the Ninth Amendment to prevent an invasion on those rights that are not formally listed in the Constitution.

Grad schools—oh, the humanities!

Julia Wagner Columnist The worth of master’s degrees, MFA degrees and PhDs in the humanities has been a long-debated topic. As an English literature major who is about to graduate, I have entered into the internal and external debate of whether MFAs or PhDs are worth the considerable trouble and money they cost to obtain.

The typical drone about these advanced degrees is that they are expensive, time-consuming and may not yield coveted university teaching positions. All are valid points, but having had thought about them further, I’ve found that they are not as compelling or factual as they seem to be.

Money can definitely be a factor, but people who are considering graduate school should not be too quick to change their plans based on limited finances. An article from US News & World Report outlines a number of options: getting your place of employment to pay, taking out loans carefully, working for the school and getting scholarships. There’s

even a nifty federal credit called Lifetime Learning Tax Credit, which allows students to subtract 20 percent from their annual tuition and reimburses them for other educational expenses.

Teaching assistantships, research stipends and fellowships allow for a great number of programs to be partially or fully funded.

Of the 50 schools included in the 2012 MFA Rankings given by Poets & Writers, 70 percent of them give full funding to all their students.

Not only is tuition waived, but the students also receive a living stipend, which is not enough for any sort of extravagance, but it is enough to get by.

Many graduate school hopefuls are concerned about finding work as a professor after graduate school. Many newly graduated students, after a lifetime of praise, are surprised and offended to not have a tenuretrack position lined up immediately. Articles that warn students of this generally do not mention the other job possibilities available to MFAs or PhDs if they do not find a university teaching job right away.

The job market of community college teaching jobs is much easier to break into than university teaching jobs. Community colleges generally do not require a professor having published books before he or she is hired. They also do not have nearly as high a rate of turnover, meaning that the newly-hired professor would not have to live in fear for his or her job safety.

Working at a publishing house is also a great way to use a graduate degree in the humanities. More and more of the applicants applying to entry-level positions at publishing houses have advanced degrees. The ability to communicate knowledgably about texts, recognize literature that is at a scholarly level and write successful literary criticism are all skills needed at publishing companies.

There’s also the question of the large time commitment required by these programs. People think they are going to be cut off from the job market for 7 years and will graduate with no work experience. For me, this seems like a nonissue.

What could be better than doing what humanities

students love to do: read, write and teach, for as long as possible? Most graduate students gain a considerable amount of teaching experience and can work other jobs on the side as well.

No one needs to put their life on hold to pursue a graduate degree. Plenty of people do this while working, dating, getting married and having kids. This is not to say it doesn’t take up a lot of time, but if you’re creative and manage time well, it should be quite feasible.

The sheer number of factors surrounding a graduate degree in the humanities can make it a daunting prospect. However, approaching these facets one by one makes it seem infinitely more manageable.

Taking all of this into account, it seems to not be a question of whether you can afford to go to graduate school in the humanities, financially or otherwise.

The question is: In today’s competitive job market, and with all the possibilities that come with a graduate degree, can you afford not to?

JAMES DEEN BARES ALL

Story by Samantha Johnson

Photo Courtesy of James Deen Press

Hump Day goes all-out this week by interviewing acclaimed porn star James Deen before his appearance on campus later this month.

Who is James Deen?

If you’re a typical horny college student who lets their mind wander to the XXX side of the Internet while you’re trying to research that term paper, you’ve likely caught glimpses of the side of his handsome mug more than a handful of times — more likely the side of his cock as it’s being plunged into a vocally enthusiastic female co-star. And, more recently, you’ve probably seen his half-naked likeness plastered on posters around campus inviting you to spend “A Night With James Deen.”

With his average 5-foot7, 150-pound frame and inkling of a cute, tousled Jew-fro, you might mistake him for a studious coffee shop frequenter or slightly older-looking dude at the frat party. He’s “porn’s boy next door” or, as Zack Braff has referred to him, “the Daniel Day-Lewis of porn,” and he’s coming to a college campus near you.

With more than 4,000 films of the adult variety under his belt (Deen directs and produces pornographic films now as well) and the mainstream project “The Canyons” alongside Lindsay Lohan, Deen is quickly gaining notoriety in both Hollywood and sexuality circles.

This Hump Day, it was my turn to ask the questions in an exclusive interview with the man of your masturbation session dreams. During the interview, I kid you not, he was waiting for the plumber to arrive. Here’s hoping his plumber is Sasha Grey. Ever proving he’s more than just a pretty face attached to a cameraready dick, here are some lessons learned from the on-the-rise career of James Deen.

We still can’t talk about sex.

James Deen created quite a stir just by showing up at Pasadena City College in February to speak to students in a course titled “Navigating Pornography.”

Although the professor typically invites guest speakers, this one had more buzz. What was all the controversy about?

“Because he was having me,” Deen said. “And, I’m trying to say this in the most non-arrogant way, so excuse me if it comes off that way … but because he was having me, there was a larger response. Because it was supposed to be a public event at a public college, they were worried there was going to be these protesters.”

Talking about sex, out loud, in a public forum?

Oh no! Deen said the curious thing is that it was the media, not so

much the students or the administration, that turned the event into a big taboo.

“This thing got blown up into a mass media explosion,” Deen said.

Despite a cultural overtone that we’re living in a post-sexually liberated culture, the very mention of porn still gets people hot and bothered, and not in the good way, even when we know that an incredible number of Americans watch it.

“I was just trying to use the opportunity to preach about my whole message about positive sexuality education,” Deen said.

“Then, when I showed up to go to the college, there was a bunch of news and crazy stuff happening.”

Deen said that although the topic of pornography is controversial, it’s important to talk about.

“The difference of opinion is what fuels open thoughts. Open discussion is a good thing. It’s about respecting other people’s opinions and other people’s spaces and bodies and desires.”

Women are horny people too.

While pornography has historically been considered a maledominated industry (maleproduced and consumed), many pornography consumers are actually now female, with nearly one in three porn watchers being women. Not to mention the slew of tumblrs dedicated to Deen’s image geared toward female viewers.

Deen is known partly for his “female-friendly” videos, but don’t call him by that label.

“Porn is personal. Sex is a personal thing and porn is a sexual thing, so porn is a personal thing,” Deen said.

When asked by The Guardian if he thought his work was appealing to women, he said, “I think it’s idiotic.” It certainly doesn’t acknowledge the complexity and diversity of female sexual desire.

“You’re going to get some girls that are going to want watch different movies,” Deen said in the video interview with The Guardian. “Some are going to watch the really loveydovey pretty stuff, you’re going to get some who want the really crazy rough stuff and everything in between.”

So what about the rough stuff? When I asked, Deen said, “People say, ‘You’re humiliating or objectifying women.’ No, actually.

You’re humiliating and objectifying women by saying that women who express themselves in that they like this type of sex [rough or not “femalefriendly”] that that means

they’re weak.”

There’s more to safer sex than condoms.

James Deen is an outspoken voice against the Measure B condom mandate in Los Angeles, the legislation that requires all actors in adult films produced within the city limits to use condoms while performing. The authors of the legislation cited a motivation to protect the actors in the business, but Deen highlights the extremely low STI rates in the selfregulated, above ground porn industry as evidence that frequent testing, sexual history disclosures, open communication and fluid-bonding are also forms of safer sex. This is a poignant illustrative example that there is more to “safer sex” than the use of barrier protection methods.

“Are we safe? Yes we are.”

Deen said. “Our testing system works and it works well, and it’s proven to work time and time again.”

Comprehensive sex education is a must.

“Pornography is not a guide to live your life by.

It is not a curriculum. It’s not any sort of educational video in any way shape or form,” Deen said.

But, in an age of federally-funded abstinence-only education, pornography is acting as a substitute tool for how the masses learn about sex. Deen thinks that porn should be reserved for the realm of fantasy and enhancement rather than a first reference for how young people learn about sex.

“Education is the way to fix problems. People are saying pornography has a horrible effect. Well, okay. Educate people about pornography: what it is, the purpose for it, the effect that it potentially could have. Study it in an open, safe environment and put some research into it and teach it to people so that ignorance doesn’t have a negative effect.”

Healthy sexuality can be anything between informed, enthusiastic, consenting adults.

“Communication is key,” Deen said. “It really is. It’s being able to explore and advance your personal desires and be able to communicate them with a partner safely and consensually expand your horizons.”

Sexual expression and desire is extremely complicated and diverse.

The good news is, if we find compatible and willing partners, everyone has the potential to have their own personal version of their best sex life.

“You might not know

if you like it in the butt until someone starts playing with your butt. And then you might say like, ‘Wait, that’s really scary,’ and then a couple days later you might say, ‘No, wait, that was kind of cool.’ Or you might think it’s something you enjoy and then try it and you hate it.

Anything is possible.”

Human sexuality is fluid, Deen said. “You can have a week where you do nothing but anal sex and another week where you have nothing but really nice passionate,

romantic sex.”

Deen suggests we take a tip from those in the kinky community.

“Anyone who knows anything about the BDSM community knows that it’s about communication, communication, communication.

The dominants are always the submissives and the submissives are always the dominants. The person who holds the safe word, the person who is allowing other people to do certain activities

with them, is the one who’s actually in control.”

Revolution resonates in latest Paramore album After reforming band, self-titled Paramore testifies to group’s lasting sound Danielle Leick ArtsEtc. Writer Hayley Williams’ firebright hair is back with Paramore’s self-titled fourth album. After a nearly four-year break from releasing albums and without two original band members (lead guitarist and backing vocalist Josh Farro as well as his drummer brother Zac), Paramore changes their sound and takes music lovers by storm,

experimenting within their genre but not so much that they will lose loyal followers over the changes.

From the lead track, “Fast in my Car,” listeners are able to hear the differences between Paramore and the band’s third album Brand New Eyes. “Fast in my Car” creates an upbeat, rocktechno feeling, while still subtly hinting at the band’s former sound. Pair these fresh sounds with lyrics of hope and not giving up (“Been through the ringer a couple times ...

We had to learn how to deal”) as Paramore gives fans hope for the band through their own story of almost splitting up.

Even though the past four years had been rough on Paramore, they were able to find a new sound with new members and pull through, not disappointing fans in the process.

Growing up and moving the band in a new direction is a prominent theme on Paramore. This 17-track album is broken up with three short interlude tracks, catching listeners off guard with a vividly different sound than the rest of the album. The first, “Interlude: Moving On,” gives listeners a country-pop sound of acoustic guitar paired with feisty lyrics such as “Let ‘em spill their guts / ‘Cause one day they’re gonna slip on ‘em.” Short, sweet and

to the point, the interludes serve as a way for listeners to take a step back and prepare for the next musical turn of the album.

“Ain’t it Fun” pops up as the sixth track on Paramore and shifts the band’s sound to a more powerful, balladlike style. The third verse hook, “Don’t go crying to your mama, ‘cause you’re on your own in the real world,” takes listener’s ears for a ride, changing the sound into southern-style gospel rock and creating a musical experience that is enough to leave the audience clapping along to the beat.

Paramore takes the needed risks to rise out of its four-year rut and embark on the journey to

the top of the music world again. Old and new fans will not be disappointed with the combination of subtly familiar and excitingly newer sounds.

Not only has the band’s music matured over time, but the vocal and range of Hayley Williams has no doubt gone to the next level. The maturity of Williams’s vocals and songwriting enhance the album, evolving Paramore past its past works.

This self-titled album marks a clear break from the band’s past performances while still leaving room for the future. This is clearly shown in the final track’s title. “Future” starts off with a laid-back acoustic

tone that slowly changes into a more punk-rock instrumental for the last three and a half minutes of the album, leaving fans with a sense of hope and rejuvenation for the band.

Paramore shows the band is back, more mature and better, with redefined songs and vocals.

Skewed McCrindle exhibit setup hinders medium focus Though-provoking piece combinations lose meaning due to lack of explanation Seung Park ArtsEtc. Staff Writer For the majority of the public, paintings can be a tricky art to follow, often disappearing behind a veil of elitism and abstraction.

A new exhibit at the Chazen Museum of Art seeks to break down these barriers, focusing on the intricacies of the medium itself.

“Drawings from the Joseph McCrindle Collection” will be on display at the Chazen until late May, informing museum-goers that art is not always about the

subject — the medium behind a piece can also influence how a viewer sees a particular work.

To that end, the collection puts together a wide variety of different art mediums, including ink and wash, graphite, watercolors and chalk, spread out over two rooms.

Most of the works are of Italian origin, reflecting the tastes of Joseph McCrindle himself, although there are other nationalities represented, including works by Emile Bernard, Thomas Rowlandson and Jean Cocteau.

When everything comes together, the results can be quite enlightening. For instance, a pair of sketches illustrate the strengths of certain mediums: William Daniell’s ink and wash sketch, titled “Chinese Boats,” is nearly blueprint-

like in form, while a few paintings away George Frederic Watts’ graphite sketch “Head of a Child” is imbued with a dreamy, insubstantial quality that brings out the deep fade that is possible with graphite.

The addition of watercolor, however, can change the entire composition of a painting.

Thomas Rowlandson’s simplistic work “Father and Daughter” incorporates three techniques — ink and wash, graphite and watercolor. The result is a deceptively simple yet powerful sketch with just a small hint of red watercolor that gives the graphite and ink enough depth to stand out.

However, while the exhibition is ambitious in scope, it is lacking in depth. Although there are

dozens of sketches and watercolors within the exhibit, there seems to be little to tie everything together at first glance.

There are a grand total of zero explanatory plaques and displays among the

The entire exhibit seems casually thrown together with little semblance of thought into the layout of the paintings. artwork — save for a brief, perfunctory paragraph at the entrance describing the bare minimum — and the audience is left alone to make sense of whatever comes out of the

woodwork.

But, after digging a little deeper, threads and connections begin to form, and museum-goers can begin to understand some of the significant differences between the separate mediums. Ippolito Caffi’s watercolor “The Pantheon” is a veritable explosion of rich colors and three-dimensional shadows, while Richard Cooper’s “Landscape” (ink and wash) depicts a very similar scene, except the sparse medium of ink lends a sombre, faded tone.

There is definitely a tonal difference between the two works, and the choice of medium — rich watercolors versus sparse ink — plays a major role in the spectrum.

Unfortunately, despite the interesting analogy between Caffi and Cooper’s works, they are placed in

two separate rooms, dozens of yards away from each other and separated by other paintings and a wall.

For the average viewer, this makes the connection between them even harder to find, although it is definitely there. Still, it should not take this much effort to even begin to comprehend the exhibit.

Why couldn’t they have been placed immediately adjacent to each other, perhaps along with a small explanatory card showcasing this analogy?

The entire exhibit seems casually thrown together with little semblance of thought into the layout of the paintings.

The exhibition of drawings from the McCrindle Collection can be viewed at the Leslie and Johanna Garfield Gallery until May 26.

Bertha’s Wisconsin career full of highs, lows Tennis star closing out final campaign strong despite year filled with injuries Spencer Smith Associate Sports Editor Love for a sport does not sprout overnight. For Billy Bertha, this was the case.

From his very first exposure to tennis, he slowly developed an affinity for the game and soon made his decision.

After trying various sports including football, basketball, soccer and tennis, Billy eventually decided to focus his attention on tennis. Bertha played his high school tennis at state tennis powerhouse Marquette High School. In his senior year Bertha won the WIAA Division I title, propelling him to the top of the state rankings. His career

MCINTOSH, from 12 team that averages over four runs a game and had scored 60 runs in their last 10 games.

“When you’re facing a BCS team, you rarely see no-hitters against a BCS program,” head coach Yvette Healy said.

“It might be a smaller school, but to do that against their offense and have them as a top30 team. It’s really an accomplishment.”

McIntosh and her coaches credit a great deal of the pitchers success this season to the addition of a change up to her repertoire of pitches.

The southpaw already has a deadly curveball and screwball to go along with her fastball, but the addition of a changeup gives her four options that hitters are forced to deal with. “[Her changeup]

WIN, from 12 However, the Badgers were able to inch out a 25-23 win in the third, producing just three errors and avoiding a second-straight close loss.

Sheffield said the Badgers need to do a better job of keeping their composure when they make mistakes and not letting one error turn into multiple.

“When we play good volleyball, we’ve got to do it for longer periods of time than what we’re doing,” Sheffield said.

“We’ll get better at that once we come to get used to each other.”

Wisconsin began the fourth set in a 2-7 hole

CORCORAN, from 12 open the season. Axford is 0-1, has blown a save, and his earned run average is 20.25, giving up six runs in 2.2 innings. Marmol is also 0-1 with a blown save, and more importantly has an ERA of 16.88, yielding 5 runs in 2.2 innings.

Even beyond the less than spectacular play of the two closers, neither team really seems to possess a great amount of talent or anything that would lead the belief

record of 64-14 helped Bertha become a five-star recruit and set him on course to play at his dream school, the University of Wisconsin.

“I had a lot of other options coming into college,” Bertha reflected.

“However, I wanted to represent my home state.”

Bertha made his first start September 18, 2009.

In his freshman campaign, Bertha went 20-13 in singles, ranging from the sixth spot to the second in the lineup. That same year he went 11-8 in doubles play, playing primarily in the number three spot with five different partners.

Bertha’s record slumped in his sophomore year as he moved up to the second spot in singles play. He finished with a record of 15-20 and 4-6 in the Big Ten. In doubles Bertha began his three-year stint on the Badgers’ top team.

In his sophomore season he recorded an impressive

26-10 in doubles play, including a 6-4 Big Ten record.

Then his junior year kicked off with Bertha named captain.

“It was really nice to know my hard work didn’t go unnoticed,” Bertha said. “Being a hometown kid, I take a lot of pride in the university and the program. It is nice to be able to put my footprint on the program in my own way.”

Fighting off recurring back injuries, Bertha was able to play 23 singles matches his junior year, finishing with a record of 12-11. His doubles success continued on the Badgers’ top pair, finishing the season with a 19-10 overall record, going 5-5 in conference matches.

Back troubles have continued to plague Bertha in his final season with the Badgers. Most recently, he missed meets at Ohio State and Penn State

last weekend. So far this season, Bertha is 6-14 in singles matchups battling against top singles players from across the country.

This last year has been a whirlwind tour of sorts for Bertha who is getting to see a lot of his old friends from high school and junior tournaments one last time on the court.

“I played against a lot of these guys growing up,” Bertha recalled. “One plays for North Carolina, another Notre Dame and a few at Ohio State. Every time we play we like to catch up. It is nice to compete one last time before we’re all done.”

Throughout his four years on the Badgers tennis team Bertha has no doubt had his ups and downs.

From making the NCAA tournament to dealing with back issues, from being on a top ten doubles team to having that doubles partner leave the team, Bertha has had both positive and negative

has been enormously effective and it’s just made her that much better,” Adix said. “If hitters know all you are going to throw is heat, heat, heat, they just have to sit on one side of the zone and they can tend to pick a pitch and blow it up.

“I think it’s definitely added a different element to Meghan. Sometimes it can be a little bit fast, but the fact that it drops off is something that completely deceives the hitters. So it’s really helped her game this year.”

McIntosh has used her wide range of pitches to earn an 8-2 record over 11 appearances with a 1.07 ERA and 70 strikeouts. All eight of the senior’s wins have come in complete game performances.

The emergence of McIntosh adds another electrifying arm to the Wisconsin pitching staff

led by junior pitcher Cassandra Darrah who also threw a no-hitter earlier this season. “[Having two strong pitchers] is huge,” Healy said. “Usually you just have one pitcher and you just go with them and all the weight of the world is on them and to have two pitchers both have no-hitters in the same season, it goes a long way.”

Another element McIntosh brings to her pitches is speed. Healy says her senior pitcher can get pitches to top out at 65-67 miles per hour.

Mix that speed in with some fast spinning offspeed pitches and it’s a deadly combination.

The combination of McIntosh’s speed and effective off-speed pitches can add a real intimidation factor to her game. And although the hurler stands at the not-so-towering height

of 5-foot-5, she can mimic the presence of Randy Johnson or even, according to Healy, Charlie Sheen.

“She’s kind of like Wild Thing when you used to watch those old movies [Major League] that she can bring it and it’s scary if it hits you,” Healy said. “So I think she’s got a little controlled aggression out there and it makes it tough to step in the box when she’s throwing that hard.”

In her last season as a Badger, McIntosh is on quite the roll and is gaining confidence as she goes, which is a scary thought considering all that she has already accomplished this season.

“I’m definitely in the zone out there,” McIntosh said. “There are a lot of smiles in the conversations with my teammates and I’m really feeling good.”

while hitting a .071 attack percentage.

But the Badgers bounced back to end the set and the match on a 10-2 run after being tied at 15.

Three Badgers accumulated doubledigit kills throughout the evening, including junior outside hitter Julie Mikaelsen, who led all players with 15 kills. The Norwegian also contributed 13 digs to earn the double-double.

Last season, Mikaelsen transitioned to a more defensive role on the team by digging more balls. She said she has gotten more comfortable working in the back row.

While she was on offense during the match,

Mikaelsen also said she concentrated on the spots on the court she knew she could hit.

“Focusing on doing the right techniques,” Mikaelsen said. “Focusing on doing the hitting I know I can do. Annemarie was helping me a lot by calling the shots that I had open; it helped me a lot.”

Mikaelsen admitted that a weakness the team has been working on is consistency. Wisconsin’s hitting percentage dropped .207 from the first to the second set.

However, Mikaelsen said Sheffield has made it a priority to improve Wisconsin’s mental toughness to stay consistent.

“We go up and then we go down,” Mikaelsen said. “We need to be more stable. We’re working really hard on becoming that team that’s really stable and bringing it every single practice.”

Sheffield’s main focus of the spring season is not necessarily the results of the matches. He wants to see small improvements from his players in practices and match situations.

“We’re just trying to get a little bit better,” Sheffield said. “There’s not a lot of changing [of positions or formations]. We’re just trying to do what we do in our system and just be a little bit more consistent and a little bit better.”

that either will be wildly successful this season.

So the two franchises have been characteristically bad and I may have already given up on the Cubs for this season, but the question remains: Why have they both been so mediocre for so long?

If there was an answer to that question, both teams would have World Series rings right now, and I wouldn’t be asking that question.

But for the Cubs it’s

a combination of bad moves, maybe some bad luck, and probably more than a fair share of the losing attitude — not just a curse. As for the Brewers, it has been an issue of not having enough money, and just when things start to go the right way, the key players (Prince Fielder and CC Sabathia come to mind) are whisked away by richer teams.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have started to become a team trying to move

out of the cellar, and the Houston Astros have vacated their NL basement of last few years for the comfort of the AL’s cellar, most likely. It raises the question: When will the Brewers or Cubs start winning?

Dan Corcoran is a freshman majoring in something; he just hasn’t decided yet. Think the Brew Crew or Cubbies have a chance to win this year?

experiences.

“My freshman year we were able to make it to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament,” Bertha said.

“I was lucky enough to clinch the match right before that. That team was really good and it was fun playing with those guys.”

Bertha, like many college students, learned a key lesson as he dealt with the struggles of early adulthood. He admits that the ability to balance school, tennis and a social life was a struggle the first few years.

“I have really learned to go into everything with an open mind,” Bertha explains. “It may not work out the way you want it to, but if you keep an open mind anything can happen.”

Next year will be Bertha’s first year away from the sport competitively in a long time. He will be finishing up his degree in finance during his “victory

lap” of school and is hoping to get a job with an investment firm someday.

No doubt the lessons he learned on the court here at Madison will work their way into his professional career as he goes forward.

Meanwhile, the tennis team will look to recover from the loss of their fouryear starter and team captain.

“His leadership is something we will miss with his absence,” assistant coach Joe Bates said.

“We have two top-ranked Americans coming in, so we are hoping that they can step in and be similar type of players as Billy.”

Bertha will move on from here and no doubt become a well-respected member of the business world, a dream that many of the students at this university share. Although he will be going pro in something else, his footprint and legacy has been etched into Wisconsin tennis program.

UW utilizes ‘next play’ logic in win New coach Sheffield’s philosophy displaying well in spring results as Badgers move to 3-0 Nick Korger Sports Editor After his team grinded out a 3-1 win over in-state rival University of WisconsinMilwaukee Tuesday night at the Field House, University of Wisconsin volleyball head coach Kelly Sheffield talked basketball.

Why? He found the NCAA men’s basketball national championship game Monday a perfect analogy for the kind of mental toughness he wants to breed in his players. That toughness, he says, comes from being able to move on to the next play quickly regardless of a past mistake.

“One thing I saw from that championship game [Monday] night was two teams who were playing with a lot of competitiveness, a lot of toughness and a lot of freedom,” Sheffield said. “If they stopped and worried about what just happened, it would have been over.”

The positive responses by both Michigan and Louisville to multiple runs and lead changes throughout the championship game served as a reminder to Wisconsin’s head coach of what kind of attitude he wants his team to embrace.

“I think mental toughness is moving on to the next play quickly, and we have to do a better job of that,” Sheffield said. “I think right now when we make errors, one error turns into two or three and that’s what we’re seeing right now and we have to grow out of that and we’ll learn.”

Those words drew directly off of his team’s struggles with consistent play Tuesday night, as the Badgers committed 16 attack errors, 12 service errors and four receiving errors against the UWM Panthers. Wisconsin saw a combination of miscues derail its lead in sets several times; it became a source of concern in a match that featured the score tied 30 times and the lead changing hand during 10 different instances.

The best example of the team’s inconsistent play during the night was the second set. Leading at one point in the second, 2321, UW allowed UWM to, ultimately, escape with a win, thanks to 11 of Milwaukee’s points in the set coming from errors committed by the home team.

Wisconsin showed some of the grit Sheffield has been looking for when it clinched the match in the decisive fourth set. After falling behind 7-2, the Badgers roared back with a 6-1 run to even the score and force a Panther timeout. Later in the set with the score tied again, this time at 15-15, the team used a 10-2 run to close out the set and the match.

That response to the pressure, the slow start and the adversity of a match was something emphasized in the locker room before

Wisconsin even took the floor.

“One of the things we talked about before our match, a goal for our team, is when we’re down to not give up, because that’s been a huge problem in the past,” sophomore outside hitter Ellen Chapman said.

“Tonight, even if we were down, we knew in our heads we were going to win. We just moved on to the next ball.”

So, how did Sheffield manage to already affect the mental toughness and the way his team thinks when it faces a tough situation just a few months into the job?

He realizes the problem his team is facing in regards to handling adversity is a struggle that every sports team faces.

“It’s not a Wisconsin volleyball team issue; it’s an anybody who’s playing any sport issue,” Sheffield said of players getting down on themselves. “It’s what’s hard about sports. How do you embrace challenges? How do you fight? How do you come back after a tough loss?

When you’ve got a nice lead, how are you able to pound and finish?

“It’s really hard when you’re in the match to respond appropriately, and that’s certainly something we talk about an awful lot with our team.”

Although the games are more or less scrimmages against nonconference teams who are not at the same strength as a Big Ten foe, the Badgers are still finding the time to be a big boost to adapt to Sheffield’s philosophy of focusing on the next play.

“With that mentality, it’s been a really big leap for us,” junior libero Annemarie Hickey said. “We’re not afraid of that pressure anymore that’s coming on us or afraid that we’re going to lose all the time. We had people fighting the entire time [tonight].

“It’s always, ‘next ball, next play.’ You’re never dwelling on the ball you messed up before. I think just coming in the huddle between that point, just saying one or two things, just coming into the huddle, always knowing we can do this and we’re always together.”

With their final home game of the spring in the books and another solid win in hand, Sheffield is optimistic about the level of response he’s seen from his players to his coaching and the heightened expectations he’s put on the entire program.

“We’re getting better, there’s no question,” Sheffield said. “But the nature of our business is you’re never satisfied. Are we getting better? Yeah. The fun thing is we have the talent that we’re going to continue to get better. That talent is willing to put in the work to get better.”

McIntosh ripening well as senior Pair of no-nos, B1G pitcher of the week awards headline her season at Wisconsin Spencer Smith Associate Sports Editor More and more in sports the question being asked of athletes is, “What have you done for me lately?”

If asked this question, Wisconsin softball pitcher Meghan McIntosh can show you her two Big Ten Pitcher of the Week awards and film of her two nohitters from this season.

She’s done a lot lately.

No one can deny McIntosh is having a season to remember. While most pitchers would be ecstatic to have just one no-hitter to show for in a season, just halfway through the 2013 season, McIntosh has already become just the second player in program history to record to no-nos in a single season.

The Arizona native is proud of what she has been able to do on the mound this year, but knows her achievements are a great credit to her teammates as

well.

“It’s something that’s a great accomplishment, but it’s not just me out there,” McIntosh said. “I need my backup on the offense and defense. Without them I wouldn’t have gotten anything.”

McIntosh picked up her second no-hitter last Sunday against conference rival Minnesota in Minneapolis. The lefthander struck out eight hitters and allowed five walks on her way to a 10-0 win in six innings.

Wisconsin pitching coach Tracie Adix could tell almost right away Sunday that McIntosh had her best stuff with her and it was going to be a special day for her.

“It was going through my head like in the third inning,” Adix said with a big smile. “I was just like, ‘shut up, Tracie, just don’t say anything out loud.’ I noticed and I saw that she was definitely in a groove, so I knew early on how it was kind of going.”

What makes last Sunday’s performance even more impressive was that it came against a Golden Gophers

Wisconsin cruises to 3rd-straight win Despite 1-1 stalemate after first two sets, Badgers take control late to earn 3-1 victory over Panthers Lee Gordon Volleyball Writer

Ranked 89th in the nation among incoming freshmen, middle blocker Tori Blake joined the Badgers this spring after enrolling a semester early. Under new head coach Kelly Sheffield, Blake and the Badgers extended their undefeated spring season to 3-0 after defeating Milwaukee 3-1 Tuesday at the Field House.

The University of Wisconsin volleyball team wrapped up its three-match spring schedule at home with a 3-1 win over UWMilwaukee (25-16, 23-25, 25-23, 25-17) Tuesday night.

Wisconsin has dropped just two sets in three wins against Loyola, UW-Green Bay and UWMilwaukee during its exhibition spring season.

Head coach Kelly Sheffield stressed that in the few months he has coached the team, he has seen small improvements throughout the spring that helped contribute to the night’s victory.

“We did a better job of getting our middles and our right side more involved in the attack tonight,” Sheffield said. “That was a goal going in. I thought our serving put some pressure on them. [UWM is] a different team than what we’ll typically see in the Big Ten. Their offense is really quick and they put some different stresses on your middles than what [we’ve] seen. I thought we got a little stronger as the match went on.”

After the Badger offense cruised to a .423 hitting percentage while committing just two errors in the first set, Wisconsin lost its sense of rhythm in the second set. Down 8-11, the Badgers already had five errors in the set. After Wisconsin made four consecutive kills mid-set, the team earned its first lead of the set to go up 16-14. However, UWM won the last four points of the set to tie the match at one.

Sophomore setter Courtney Thomas, who amassed a springhigh 46 assists, said that if the passing is not rhythmic, it is difficult for the hitters to time the ball properly. However, she said the passing improved significantly after the second set and has become more consistent since the start of spring practice.

“I thought our passing was a lot better tonight than it was on Saturday,” Thomas said. “I felt rhythm; I felt like our hitters were doing well tonight.”

Wisconsin was again faced with a challenging set in the third, when both teams were separated by no fewer than three points.

Brewers, Cubs in for tough seasons after slow starts Dan Corcoran Kookoo for CoCo Growing up a Chicago Cubs’ fan in south central Wisconsin, I often had many disputes with my friends about which was the better team; the Cubs or the Milwaukee Brewers. Naturally, I was always outnumbered and I therefore received a great deal of ridicule for being a fan of a team that hadn’t won a World Series in what has become 105 years — pending the result of this season’s World Series, of course.

Admittedly, I became a Cubs’ fan as a result of their magical run in the

2003 playoffs — what some people might call bandwagon-jumping — but I would like to think that I truly became a fan of the Lovable Losers as a result of the Cubs doing exactly what their nickname entails in the 2003 NLCS. But even if my fandom was forged by the Cubs’ graceful tumble from hero to zero in typical Cubs fashion, the fact is: losing gets old.

Sure, the Brewers have been to more World Series since they became an expansion team in 1969 (one in 1982), and are a much younger franchise than the Cubs — who are the second oldest franchise

in all of Major League Baseball. But regardless of the outward differences between the two teams, the two franchises are more similar than they are different.

The Cubs are known for being good for the first month or so of the season and then magically becoming a completely different team and winding up in the cellar of the National League. On the other hand, the Brewers typically make it a little bit further in the season, somewhere around late July or early August, before deciding to call it quits for the season and trying to mount a collapse of their

own.

However, the two teams’ similarities do not just lie in their inabilities to play well in the second half of the season.

Since the Brewers became part of the National League Central in 1998, they have finished in last place or second-tolast place five times, while the Cubs have done the same seven times. Also in those 15 years, the two teams have finished within two places of each other 10 times. And in only two seasons have the Cubs and Brewers finished more than three places apart.

Taking into mind that the two have only made

the playoffs a combined six times since the Brewers joined the NL, it seems as if both franchises — not just the Cubs — have a tendency toward a lack of success.

But with the start of spring and a new year for both teams came the hopes for better seasons than the past. Unfortunately, those hopes for the Brewers and Cubs may have already been dashed just eight games into the 2013 campaign.

The Cubs and Brewers both sat at 2-5 before last night’s game. So for yet another season, it would appear both franchises will finish similarly in the

National League race, and yet again they will be finishing near the bottom.

It may be a tad early to already have made a forgone conclusion about the upcoming season, but based on their starts, it appears neither team has anything special.

The toughest pill for both squads to swallow has been the pitching performances from their closers. John Axford for the Brewers and Carlos Marmol for the Cubs have both struggled mightily in getting the final three outs of the game. The two have very similar statistics to
