The 1960s in Madison was a time when folk icon Bob Dylan could be found hanging out at local coffee shops.

Dylan, most known for his anti-establishment lyrics, felt at home amongst the students at University of Wisconsin, whose protests of the Vietnam War led to rioting and police violence not unlike today’s national headlines, William Gates, a 1973 graduate of UW, said.

In 1969, this heated political climate served as an incubator for The Badger Herald. At the time, the Daily Cardinal, founded in 1892 and named after the university’s colors, was the sole publication on campus.

The Badger Herald founder and first Editor-in-Chief Patrick Korten declared the “end” to the Daily Cardinal’s monopoly with the first print edition September 10, 1969.

The publication was meant to be an experiment.

“Seventy-Seven years is enough,” Korten wrote in the first editorial. “It is time there was a truly ‘independent’ student newspaper at Wisconsin, one which competes in the open marketplace, and must make its editorial and business decisions on the basis of that competitive market. A newspaper is not truly worthy of the name until it is clear of the artificially protective and restrictive atmosphere of ‘official student newspaper’ status.”

The Badger Herald first got

its footing through behindthe-scenes funding from editors at Reader’s Digest, according to David Maraniss’s best-selling book, “They Marched into Sunlight.”

Maraniss describes the arrival of the newspaper as “another sign of the conservative reaction.” At its start, the Herald served as an alternative to the “leftish Cardinal,” known for its right wing editorials.

The Badger Herald eventually surpassed the Daily Cardinal in print circulation numbers, Maraniss said.

Since its start, Heralders have gone on to carry the legacy in various fields.

Korten later became spokesman for the U.S. Department of Justice during President Ronald Reagan’s era

and another former EIC Joel Christopher went on to work as digital editor for Gannett Wisconsin Media.

Former Herald Sports Editor Robert Schwoch, the School of Journalism and Mass Communication’s lecturer and undergraduate advisor, remains involved with the organization as a board advisor. Katy Culver, a former editor at The Badger Herald, returned to UW and now works as an assistant professor and associate director at the Center for Journalism Ethics. Culver even met her husband at the Herald.

This legacy lives on in current staff. Maddie Sweitzer, the current Opinion Editor at The Badger Herald, was encouraged to join the newspaper by both her

parents, who also met while they each worked at the paper.

“My parents got together on the night of the first daily edition of The Badger Herald.

She was in the advertisement department and he was in sports,” Sweitzer said. “They had sent the registration issue to print and ended up dating after the party that followed.

Four years later they got married and a few years after that I came along.”

Today, The Badger Herald continues to experiment in its coverage and service to the campus community.

Most recently, the newspaper shifted from a daily print publication to producing a biweekly print edition while transitioning to a digital-first media outlet. As for the next 45 years, only time will tell.

the software company Epic, which is located in Verona.

Verveer said many refer to young professionals as “the Epic generation,” and part of the housing boom is due to the all of the jobs Epic has added over the past several years.

While construction on many of these buildings begins to wrap up, Carbine said it is still hard to tell what kind of demand there will be for housing once the apartments are completed and fully leased.

High-density housing rises

Students faced with luxury apartments as city sees new developments

by Daniel McKay City Editor

With a boom in housing development in downtown Madison, apartments like the Hub, City View and the Domain are raising concerns for some about affordability for students.

Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said he thinks the main reason for the increase in apartment construction is the low interest rates for developers to construct both student and non-student housing downtown.

In addition, he said private studies have shown developers that the city still has a strong apartment market due to its low vacancy rate.

According to Madison Gas and Electric, the vacancy rate for housing in downtown Madison is 3 percent. Mary Carbine, director of the Business Improvement District, said that is still only half of what would be optimal for the city.

“With the low rate citywide, there’s some overlap between demand for students and young professionals in similar types of housing and locations,” Carbine said.

“We’re thrilled with the additional higher density housing in the downtown, that’s going to really help the central downtown as a retail district.”

Once construction is completed for the apartments downtown, Verveer said he expects competition between landlords to pick up, leading to a decrease in rent and improved maintenance of the units themselves.

However, Verveer said he is frustrated that most of the new apartments do not have any affordable housing set aside for tenants that cannot afford the high level units.

“I know a lot of people are concerned, myself included, that we’re losing as opposed to gaining affordable housing,” Verveer said.

Verveer said the low vacancy has made the market

look desirable to developers from outside of Madison as well. Core Campus Development from Chicago is building the Hub in Madison and has other Hubs at the University of Arizona and the University of South Carolina, among other locations.

Scott Stager, senior vice president of Property Management at Core Campus, said State Street was picked as a prime location based on the promising market in Madison.

“The whole process started with interest in the market in general due to positive metrics we seek when looking to develop. We couldn’t be more thrilled with the location that we were able to obtain,” Stager said.

Verveer said apartments like the Hub are moving forward without any apparent concerns for affordability for students, even considering the high levels of amenities included.

Besides students, a large number of tenants in the downtown are employees of

“We have to see how the market reacts once all the new apartments are absorbed and maybe the demand will continue,” Carbine said.

“Maybe there’ll be an effect throughout the demand as people reshuffle their living choices and possibly open up more opportunities. We just don’t know yet.”

Student-parents utilize UW resources

Little Chicks Academy opens to meet increasing demand for child care service needs from campus community

by Folarin Ajibade Digital Campus Editor

The University of Wisconsin Office of Child Care and Family Resources has decided to expand its child care services for UW students, faculty and staff in an effort to increase affordability and accessibility.

Jen Dittrich-Templin, the parent resource specialist at the OCCFR, said The Little Chicks Academy opened in early June at 5003 University Ave. Services are provided

by OCCFR to accommodate families with changing schedules and distinctive part-time needs, she said.

The academy has also added supplemental infant toddler care, she added.

The new building is located directly across the parking lot from the traditional child care building, Dittrich-Templin said. The old building was only able to serve a capacity of 12 children above the ages of two-and-a-half, while the new building has three classrooms, an infant room, a toddler room and a preschool room that are all used for children needing backup care.

“It helps immensely to have two buildings just a few footsteps away for families and staff,” she said.

According to the OCCFR

website, the Little Chicks Academy aims to make child care more affordable for students and faculty, offering reduced rate backup care which includes covering child care needs when a regular provider is unavailable. Short-term contracted care is also offered while families search for full-time caregivers.

OCCFR also provides tuition assistance for UW students through the Child Care Tuition Assistance Program, Dittrich-Templin said.

“We try to be as helpful as we can by providing financial assistance and scholarships to those that are deemed eligible,”

Dittrich-Templin said.

By providing tuition, the program aims to encourage student-parents to choose high-quality child care, enable studentparents to complete their degrees in a timely manner and also focus attention on family and academic responsibilities, according to their website.

Lynn Edlefson, the director of the OCCFR said funds for tuition assistance are available on a firstcome-first-served basis, and signing up to be on the waiting list for any of their campus child care centers is done online.

“However, UW students, staff and faculty do receive

first priority to our campus child care centers as they are under contract with the OCCFR,” Edlefson said.

She said funding for staff and faculty families is mainly provided through gifts and assistance from the UW Foundation Women’s Philanthropy Council, which has supported the program since 2006.

The expansion of the Little Chicks Academy is the third campus child care infant expansion the OCCFR has completed within the past couple of years; however, Dittrich-Templin said they are still searching for more opportunities as the need for infant care is in high demand.

Younger representation grows in Wis. Attention to millennial interests sees increase as older politicians make way for legislators under the age of 40

by Emily Neinfeldt Herald Contributor

For younger politicians gaining traction in Wisconsin and nationwide, issues central to millennials such as student debt and unemployment rank high on their priority lists.

Daniel Riemer, D-Milwaukee, was first elected to the state assembly when he was 25, which is more than half the average age of assembly representatives, as reported in The Journal Sentinel.

Riemer was motivated to run for office at such a young age because he wanted to find a more pragmatic approach to poverty, he said.

“It occurred to me that we were not doing enough

in the state of Wisconsin,” Riemer said. “There were a number of opportunities in policy to approach reducing poverty through primarily work-based programs and programs that reward wages and we weren’t doing that effectively.”

Being one of the youngest members of Wisconsin State Assembly gives Riemer the unique opportunity to talk about and understand some of the issues that affect younger people in the state of Wisconsin, he said.

Greater student debt following college graduation and attempting to “climb from the bottom rung to middle class,” Reimer said, are some of the problems millennials face today. Since he ran for office shortly after finishing college, Riemer

said he is able to talk about these issues on a more visceral, immediate level.

“I think the biggest example of that is the amount of student debt that people in our generation have accumulated and how that needs to be an issue highlighted by policy makers,” Riemer said.

To provide support for young people running for office at a younger age, Luke Squire co-founded LaunchProgress, an organization dedicated to helping young people run for office.

Squire came up with the idea as a way to invest in progressive strategies and see results at a federal level, Squire said.

“It felt like there was a lot of money being spent,

and there wasn’t a lot of results going on federally so we started to look at other ways you can invest to try to support these progressive strategies,” Squire said.

When LaunchProgress was first launched, Squire and his co-founder noticed that many successful politicians tend to begin running for office at a young age.

The company attempts to help someone who might see themselves as a candidate along the campaign trail, he said.

“In terms of how much money is being spent every year on campaigns, there was really not a lot being spent on this kind of capacity building and investing on young people to get involved in politics,”

Squire said.

He said looking ahead, a challenge facing millennials is a sense of disappointment and a feeling of failure with current politics.

LaunchProgress aims to get more young people involved in politics to build a stronger democracy and a more responsive and transparent government, he said.

Squire said that ultimately, encouraging younger people to run will give citizens better representation in government.

“The most immediate direct impact from getting young people involved is that you’re going to have people get elected who are much better candidates and much more representative of the districts that they represent,” Squire said.

Grizzlies to join Vilas

Two bear cubs to come to zoo in Madison as part of ‘Arctic Passage’

by Sunni Porps-Hummell Digital City Editor

Two grizzly bear cubs will soon be making their way to Madison in a move that Henry Vilas Zoo staffers hope will encourage contributions for its Arctic Passage exhibit.

The sister cubs will come from a zoo in Bismarck, North Dakota, where the mother was euthanized after she was found disrupting local communities. The bears are expected to arrive next summer with the completion of the zoo’s Arctic Passage.

The Henry Vilas Zoo began construction of its new Arctic Passage in March, breaking ground on one of the first

developments in the zoo’s updating “masterplan.”

“The Arctic Passage is the largest project the zoo has ever undertaken,” said Alison Prange, executive director of Friends of the Zoo. Jeff Halter, the zoo’s deputy director, said the Arctic Passage would take up more than 1.7 acres of the east side of the grounds.

He said the project will provide habitats for grizzly bears, polar bears and seals, and also include the first indoor dining restaurant in the zoo’s history.

The zoo still needs to raise $700,000, and Prange said the donations and support from the community have come in all shapes and sizes.

“They range from single digit numbers, five or 10,

to hundreds and thousands and even millions of dollars for the zoo,” Prange said.

“It just shows that there’s support far and wide for the zoo and for what it does for the community.”

One anonymous donor offered to donate $50,000 if the community donations could match it two to one.

While Halter said the zoo appreciates receiving donations from students and community members, he tries to send them home with the zoo’s conservatism message in return.

“Conservation is so important to the mission,” he said. “You’ll really see through this project our zoo is continuing to transform and [transport them] to the tundra of the polar bear or the Midwest of the grizzly bear.”

Obesity rates continue to rise, officials express concern Report shows increase in state obesity levels to 29.8 percent, public health professionals say establishing healthy habits from young age is key

by Brenda McIntire Digital State Editor

While a report shows obesity rates in Wisconsin increased by a small percentage since last year, health professionals

stress childhood obesity is still a serious and prevalent issue that must be curbed.

Wisconsin’s current selfreported obesity rate of 29.8 percent is up 0.1 percent from last year, and the rate has been increasing over the past 10 years,

according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

This makes Wisconsin the 24th most obese state in the country and puts it on track to reach Trust for America’s predicted 2030 obesity rate of 56.1 percent.

Senior communications

manager Albert Lang at Trust for America’s Health said although the rate of obesity did not grow significantly between 2012 and 2013, there should still be cause for concern.

“In 1995, Wisconsin’s obesity rate was 16.4 percent. That’s not that long ago and to be at nearly 30 percent now ...

I think the goal should be reducing and then getting to a manageable rate,” Lang said.

Since there is such a small change in the obesity rate between the two years, Dr. David Allen at UW Health said he worries people will be complacent about the issue of obesity or that people will start to think there has been a major societal change. However, Allen said it is too hard to point to any

significant changes.

Allen said he hasn’t seen a substantial difference in the food supply, children’s exercise patterns both in and outside of school or in the types of foods that are incentivized.

Preventing childhood obesity can make a significant difference in adulthood obesity, Allen said. Thus, he said the focus in combatting obesity should be predominantly focused on children. “[If] kids are already overweight or obese by the time they’re five years old, it’s very difficult for them to avoid obesity by the time they’re adults,” Allen said. “The age that kids begin to experience the burden of obesity begins a time clock of risks.”

He said if we start from an early age, even before kids are

in school, and expose them to physical activity and eating healthy foods, healthy lifestyle choices will come more easily in their future.

Keeping this in mind, programs such as the UW Health pediatric fitness program aim to help curb childhood obesity, according to a recent post.

According to a report posted

by UW Health, only 2 to 3 percent of families with children who are obese seek help in Dane County.

In the report, UW Health said simple changes such as making homes free of sugarfilled beverages, cooking dinner at home more often and going for family walks after dinner can make a big difference in a child’s overall health.

DUIs not criminalized Drunken driving loosely enforced in state compared to others

by Brenda McIntire Digital State Editor

In a state known for its drinking culture, public health officials and interest groups are bringing drunken driving enforcement policy into focus.

Wisconsin is the only state in the nation where drunken driving is not criminalized for first time offenders and instead results in a traffic ticket.

Both candidates running for Attorney General, Susan Happ, a rural district attorney, and Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel have publicly denounced changing that policy.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving’s Chief Governor Affairs Officer J.T. Griffin said the decision to maintain current policy is a disservice to public safety.

“It’s just a shame that Wisconsin is not doing a better job and is not taking this issue seriously,” Griffin said. “Drunk driving is a public health issue and it doesn’t just affect the drunk driver, it affects everyone’s family, and we know at MADD how to stop drunk driving.”

Wisconsin Alcohol Policy Project Coordinator Julia Sherman, however, said drunken driving is just one element of Wisconsin’s drinking culture and that criminalizing drunk driving

would not necessarily make a great difference.

Although increasing penalties is often the focus for reducing poor behavior like drunken driving, many elements must come together to motivate people to change their habits, Sherman said.

“We could make failing to mow your lawn a capital offense … but nobody would every really expect it to affect their life,” Sherman said. “So it probably wouldn’t affect lawn mowing behavior a great deal.”

Keeping this in mind, Sherman said, some advocates against drunken driving are instead calling for sobriety checkpoints, which has reduced impaired driving in several states including Montana, Virginia and Delaware.

She said, however, that is only one step, and to reduce driving under the influence, several steps are needed.

“If it were to be criminalized it would need to be part of a larger passage that would help improve the alcohol environment and also make it meaningful,” Sherman said.

“Either increase saturation patrol or sobriety checkpoints, increase money for law enforcement and increase alcohol age compliance checks.”

According to Griffin, however, the cost to taxpayers alone should

motivate people to advocate for criminalizing drunken driving.

Research conducted by MADD from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation data found that Wisconsin taxpayers currently pay an estimated $1 billion subsidizing drunken driving.

“We pay things like auto insurance premiums, we pay higher health insurance, we have to pay first responders to go and treat these people after they’ve been in crashes, we have to pay law enforcement to get them off the street,” Griffin said.

“These are all things that as tax payers we’re paying for, and I think that they would be doubly upset about it.

Not just that someone’s child could be hit and killed … but the fact that we’re paying more than our fair share.”

Sherman said although tax payers pay a lot because of drunken driving now, there is a cost to taxpayers in changing the policy as well.

Research conducted into a bill that aimed to criminalize first time offenders found that there would be an increase in public defender’s and district attorney’s costs to defend first-time offenders in court.

“There’s a cost to not changing and there’s a cost to changing, but people tend to fear they’re living with already less,” Sherman said.

Heroin epidemic continues Overdoses raise drastically over past three years, police chief weighs in

by Daniel McKay and Brenda

McIntire

City Editor and Digital State Editor

As the number of heroin-related crimes continues to rise, Madison Police Chief Mike Koval said it’s time to control the “spiraling problem.”

He said heroin overdoses and deaths have been increasing for a while, but it has been most prominent over the last three years, including a 50 percent increase in heroin deaths from 2011 to 2012.

While the Madison Police Department cannot track every burglary or property theft to see if

it is connected to drug use, Koval said they do see a correlation in property crimes and the prevalence of heroin in the area. The drug is now in the purest form he has seen, which increases the addictive quality and makes it harder to come clean. Koval said he would prefer the primary method of handling drug addicts to happen outside of jail.

“For those who would exploit others by the manufacture, distribution and exploitation of heroin, we’ve got a place in the jail for them,” Koval said, “but I wish we had better strategies in dealing with those who are addicted, something short of the criminal justice method.”

Koval said he thinks the expectations for the police are unnecessarily broad in terms of effectiveness in handling drug use in the city. He said he would like to see more people willing to steer and direct loved ones or friends into treatment interventions and programming to help overcome dangerous addictions.

City of Madison Police Lieutenant Jason Freedman has spent 17 years working on the Dane County Narcotics Board and said he has seen firsthand the toll heroin takes on its users. He said most heroin addicts begin using the drug between the ages of 19-25.

Freedman said the majority of heroin addicts begin by abusing prescription opiates, often after being legally prescribed the opiates when they were a younger teenager following an accident or minor surgery.

“There’s a certain percentage of people in any population who are prone to addiction,” Freedman said. “At some point if an opiate addict isn’t able to get treatment,

they will turn to heroin.”

Freedman said it is difficult to assess precisely how widespread heroin usage is in Dane County because the data is only as good as the input. Not every heroin overdose gets noted properly in records, some are never reported to the police and sometimes they are misdiagnosed, he said.

However, he said the problem is clearly not going away anytime soon. In 2007, there were 17 heroin overdoses in Madison; in 2010 there were 83 and in 2011 there were 145. Since 2011, there have been about 100 overdoses in Dane County every year and about 10 to 15 deaths, he said.

“Historically we went from a relatively minor problem to one that exploded and it’s stayed at a high level,” Freedman said.

Koval said this sharp increase in heroin-related incidents in Wisconsin has made it a central issue of discussion among legislators and officials trying to stop it from continuing to grow.

As a life-saving measure, Koval said first responders will carry Narcan, a drug designed to combat opiate overdose. The drug is administered on the spot and can potentially save lives.

Even with Narcan, Koval said, people who overdose still continue to use the drug after their neardeath experiences.

“Even in those instances where we have brought pulseless non-breathers back from the dead, ironically we still see frequent fliers, even through the Narcan administration,” Koval said. “That’s a testament to the insidiousness and the addictive qualities of the drug.”

Wisconsin women candidates have chance to make history If they win, Democratic females who are in the race for state Senate and governor will reach a milestone in local, national politics

by AUTUMN LINSMEIER Columnist

As many of you know, this is an election year. Despite it not being a presidential year, the potential for paving a new route for Wisconsin is especially high. We have the chance to make a change for the betterment of the state, while simultaneously making history. If two of the four Democratic women running for state Senate in a district that currently has a Republican senator win, the majority party will be made up mostly of women.

That would be a first for Wisconsin, and it would be the third state in the nation to have ever achieved this significant milestone—an awesome accomplishment, no matter one’s political leanings.

Following are the contested state Senate seats with a Democratic woman running as a candidate: Democrat Janis Ringhand is vying for District 15’s open spot, which was vacated by Sen. Tim Cullen, D-Janesville, who announced he is not seeking re-election this year.

Ringhand will be facing Republican Brian Fitzgerald.

Penny Bernard Schaber, the Democratic nominee for the 19th District, is vying

for the open seat that Sen. Michael Ellis, R-Neenah, is leaving after this session.

Her Republican opponent is Roger Roth.

Democrat Janet Bewley is competing for the open seat in the 25th District, left by Sen. Robert Jauch, D-Poplar, after this session. Bewley’s

That is the type of senator that we need in Madison to ensure things get done.

We see these strong women running for state Senate with great passion to change this state back to what it once was — a state where politicians on both sides of the aisle discuss and find solutions to

opponent is Republican Dane Deutsch.

And finally, we have Martha Laning, who I have the privilege of interning for as she runs for the District 9 seat. Martha is one of the most down-to-earth people I have had the privilege of meeting. She is the type of person who knows when a problem arises, the people on both sides of the issue need to work together to compromise and reach a solution that is attainable.

better Wisconsin.

Unfortunately, we haven’t had that crossparty unity in years, and I think we can all see the way it has affected our lives, whether it be through the student loan crisis or the job crisis (which most of us will face upon graduation).

Women bring a different perspective to the table. As much as I look up to many male politicians, women

seeking political office and those who are already elected to an office should be admired by both sides of the aisle.

Politics is typically a maledominated field and to see, especially this year, numerous women running for these positions is phenomenal.

Lastly, a fifth female candidate could make Wisconsin history singlehandedly: Mary Burke. She in many ways is similar to some of the Democratic women running for state Senate this year. Burke comes from a family who built a now internationally-recognized company from the ground up. She has never run for political office before, but she is definitely putting up a fight against Gov. Scott Walker.

Burke is a trailblazer, being the first woman in Wisconsin to be nominated by a major political party for governor. If she is elected, she will be the first female governor in our state’s history.

From the political candidate lineup, you can tell times are changing and women are becoming more active in politics, making this election season one worth keeping an eye on.

Walker denies wrongdoing in John Doe investigation Despite string of scandals, controversy, governor has maintained strong partisan support while gearing up for next election

by OMER ARAIN Columnist

Newly-released court documents implicate Gov. Scott Walker ’s involvement with the conservative group, the Wisconsin Club for Growth, in raising money for campaigns during the recall elections in 2012. He is accused of encouraging donations to the group that contributed to numerous conservative campaigns during the recall. Prosecutors say Walker ’s actions circumvented campaign finance limits, as the Wisconsin Club for Growth is allowed to accept unlimited anonymous contributions.

The recent documents shine light on Gogebic Taconite LLC, which has donated $700,000 to the Wisconsin Club for Growth over the past few years.

The Florida-based mining company wanted to open a $1.5 billion mine in northern Wisconsin in 2010, but had to postpone plans because

of difficulties with the regulatory process. In 2013, Walker and a Republicanled Legislature passed a bill that eased those difficulties.

Walker denied any involvement soliciting money from the mining company, or any other actions of foul play, going as far to say he was unaware of the $700,000 in donations. He also pointed out that the investigation was stopped by a federal district court. Though it certainly seems like Walker had to be involved to a degree, an email from his campaign consultant to an adviser of his advocacy group read, “he [Walker] wants all the issue advocacy efforts run thru one group to ensure correct messaging.”

The Wisconsin Club for Growth argued the investigation, which began in August 2012, was a violation of its free speech rights. A federal district court judge consequently halted the probe this past May. The prosecution has appealed the decision, and the two sides are to make their arguments

before a federal appeals court this month.

The gubernatorial race in Wisconsin is close. Former Trek Bicycles executive Mary Burke secured the nomination for her Democratic Party in August. According to the latest Marquette University Law School poll, Burke holds a slight edge over Walker among likely voters.

The Democratic candidate released a statement regarding the allegations on Walker and his involvement with the Wisconsin Club for Growth, saying “If it isn’t illegal, it should be.

That is not the Wisconsin way.” Burke said she would ban out-of-state donations entirely, to limit outside interests. Walker called this hypocritical; in the first half of 2014, 34 percent of Burke’s campaign funds have come from out-of-state donors (this compared to 54 percent for Walker). The Burke campaign said they would abide by the current laws, the same that their opponents follow. The two candidates have agreed

to participate in two debates next month, and while the main issue of the election so far has been job growth, it will be interesting to see if Burke attacks Walker ’s controversial past term.

Results of this election could have implications at the national level.

Walker ’s track record of strong, uncompromising conservative politics appeals to both Tea Partiers and mainstream Republicans.

It certainly will be tough for Walker to appeal to a diversified, national audience with such a controversial record after just one term in office. He should remember that while he is often applauded by conservatives for revoking collective bargaining rights from state employees, he showed no intentions of bipartisanship despite the thousands of protestors outside the Capitol. He has benefited from a Republican majority in both the state senate and assembly in his first term.

From the Republican Party’s

perspective, Walker could be a dangerous candidate. Even if he is innocent of all the allegations brought against him, his record indicates a high level of carelessness for being associated with such scandals — something that will be hard to defend in a general election.

This is not Walker ’s first run-in with campaign controversy.

This past February, more than 27,000 emails, written by Walker ’s aides, were released implicating his campaign staff was coordinating with county workers while he was running for governor in 2010.

The emails indicate Walker encouraged communication between county staff and campaign workers regarding the presentation of campaign news releases. The related investigation resulted in six convictions for charges varying from embezzlement, money laundering and other violations of campaign finance. Walker was not charged. When the issue was brought up on Fox News

last Sunday, Walker quickly dismissed it as “old news.”

Though, it certainly seems suspicious that Walker had no knowledge of the illegal activities, when some of the emails specifically outline his directives.

Walker has weathered heavier storms than this John Doe investigation since taking office. He prevailed over protestors of his budget bill and won the resulting recall election by a healthy margin. Accused of cronyism in April 2011, Walker felt pressured to reverse the hire of a 27-yearold son of a lobbyist from a leadership position in the Commerce Department.

Through all of this, he has been able to maintain solid backing, particularly in the northern half of Wisconsin.

While Walker faces a strong opposition, clearly he has his supporters, too — whoever they may be.

can see the sickening sight of abject poverty and tremendous wealth existing side by side. For a progressive city like Madison, we shouldn’t be making moves to widen income inequality, and for a university that prides itself on inclusion, we shouldn’t stand by and watch its less wealthy students struggle to afford basic necessities like housing.

Luxury apartments harm Madison

by NICHALOUS POGORELEC Columnist

It’s not hard to notice those huge 12-story buildings being erected in Madison. These buildings, which are basically skyscrapers on the landscape of Madison, are a large number of luxury apartments being built for future Badgers.

While the plan seems geared toward students, it is actually a calculated move by property owners and the City of Madison to transform the neighborhoods that border campus back into single family homes. If the plan works out, one day we could see Mifflin not as the famed street of good times and bad decisions, but a quaint neighborhood with kids and families, and all that comes with that. Let’s be honest, no student wants to see that day come. So if you’re a student sharing a small room and eating ramen for all three meals, and even if you’re not, you should approach the gentrification of student housing with skepticism.

First off, we shouldn’t be building any more student apartments because the student population isn’t growing at a significant rate. According to

the Univeristy of Wisconsin’s enrollment statistics and statistics from Cappex.com, in the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 academic years, undergraduate enrollment at UW hovered around 29,000. Scott Faust of the Isthmus states that his two housing developments, City View and Park Place “are at 90 percent capacity.” This means that students are moving into these apartments, but new students are not coming in droves; they’re filling up luxury apartments instead of other units such as the historic houses of the Bassett, Greenbush, Vilas and Mansion Hill neighborhoods that surround campus.

Renovating these houses back to single family units doesn’t make much sense for anyone except the City of Madison. In fact, the municipal government is giving the current owners of the units massive forgivable loans to renovate them, and then put them on the market to sell to families.

However, even after renovation, these homes still wouldn’t be valuable to families. There’s no private parking, and there are no schools in the immediate area. Another obstacle is that there are still many students who are unwilling to leave

these neighborhoods. Families probably won’t be too inclined to move into a neighborhood where half of their neighbors have music blasting and projectile red solo cups flying into the lawn from third story balconies at 11:30 p.m. on a Thursday night. Still, worst case scenario could be that students from these neighborhoods will leave and move into the new luxury apartments, while the alleged families willing to move in would never show up, leaving these historic homes and neighborhoods abandoned and susceptible to dilapidation.

My final point takes us back to the luxury apartments.

Who can afford these units?

Again Scott Faust in the aforementioned Isthmus article admitted that it’s taking longer for these luxury units to fill up due to higher rents. I personally know undergrads who are working 30 hours a week, along with the workload of a full-time student, just to make ends meet.

There’s something inherently wrong with that picture from an educational standpoint. Plus, all these luxury accommodations are being built at a time when there’s real demand for affordable housing downtown.

Mayor Paul Soglin proposed a

plan to add 750 to 1,000 affordable units downtown, but they’ve yet to break ground.

Many students will be forced to cram as many of their friends into a small luxury unit in order to pay a rent that’ll still be too high. At a time when the costs of attending a university like UW are already high and rising, students shouldn’t have to be in a financial situation where the payment of rent takes priority over what they’re really here for: an education.

The move to push students closer to campus in these luxury developments, while renovating the older affordable housing units, will drive up the cost of living for students attending UW. The last thing we should be doing is making the pursuit of a college education even more of a privilege for the rich. Walking around downtown today one

SNAKE ON THE LAKE ROCKS THE SETT

WSUM’s music festival hosts six diverse artists at Union South

by Meghan Horvath ArtsEtc. Staff Writer

Friday night, students and Madison locals alike piled into The Sett at Union South for WSUM’s 9th annual Snake on the Lake Fest for a loud and eclectic night of music. The performances ranged from garage-punk and experimental-folk to trippy techno and bass-heavy trap.

Despite the wide range in genre, all acts were received well by the laid-back crowd, simply there to listen to good music and drink good beer.

The punk band from Minneapolis, Frankie Teardrop, kicked off the night with high-tempo, growling garage rock that livened up the room. With his long, wispy blonde hair and signature

shades, lead vocalist Frankie is an accurate depiction of an offbeat, rebellious teenager.

The band’s image centers on an interest in drugs, Marlboro reds and a reflective frustration with conformity.

The detached image was projected through each song as the music rang pure and the band members remained aloof and withdrawn.

In similar fashion, the brother-sister duo White Mystery riled up the festival with their red afros and animated rock and roll. The Chicago-based pair fed off the crowd’s affirmations of their near-constant hair flips, and vigorously strummed on guitar and crashed on drums.

It is unclear if it was the music or the insane hairdos that the crowd was applauding, but either way, White Mystery put

on quite a show.

Next on stage was Madison’s own Julian Lynch, who strayed from the preceding head-banging tunes and performed a lighter take on experimental-folk music. Lynch has continued his music career at the University of Wisconsin, studying ethnomusicology.

The wonderfully talented artist is known for breeding genres so seamlessly that whatever labels are tied to them are often inaccurate.

His sound is distinct; a sect of music all of its own. His music remains very fluid and forever adapting, which made for a diverse and popular show Friday night.

Joel Shanahan of Golden Donna then took the stage, scratching out some heady electronic music in his solo

act. While Golden Donna is a one-man band, he’s quite open to collaborating with other people. He’s expressed interest in working with a handful of Madison bands like Nick Luebke, the John Masino Band and Chase Smith. At the same time, Shanahan has said he enjoys doing everything on his own and not relying on anyone but himself. Given his rave performance Friday night, one can trust the man knows what he’s doing.

The final two acts of the night were similar in sound, with techno DJ Deastro and disco-funk artist Saint Pepsi delivering solid performances marked by quick synths and trance-inducing hooks.

Randolph Chabot of Deastro started developing music at a young age and began recording his space

symphonies soon thereafter.

Sylvan Esso brings epic dance party to Majestic Electro-pop pair from Durham, North Carolina, layered heavy bass and smooth vocals to create an energetic atmosphere

by Selena Handler ArtsEtc. Editor

Sylvan Esso delivered on their promise to bring atmospheric and empowering dance pop to the Majestic last Thursday night. Despite having a lack of production material out (only one full length LP), the duo from Durham, North Carolina, performed a sharp and simultaneously playful performance.

The electronic-pop band was born out of a chance encounter at the Cactus Club in Milwaukee, where they shared a bill as parts of their previous musical ventures.

Amelia Meath, front woman and vocalist, was part of a three-piece, female folk band named Mountain Man from Bennington, Vermont. Meath

and mate Nick Sanborn, producer, were part of a psychedelic folk band from Durham, but Sanborn originally hails from Madison, Wisconsin.

His parents still live in Madison and attended the Majestic show.

The night began with Minneapolis-based multiinstrumental artist, Dosh, who worked his way into the Minneapolis music scene in the early 2000s by playing with several local artists including Andrew Bird. His sound was eclectic in a way that created fuzzy musical dissonance.

His set featured constant atmospheric background sounds and each melody came in overindulgent 10-minute blocks. Triangles, chimes and syncopating percussion were key elements to his set, which began to feel like a burdening heap of sound, with no distinct

shape.

However, when Sylvan Esso took the stage, they turned up the intensity and shifted the mood to be one less ominous and more playful. The set began with the first track on the album, “Hey Mami.” Towards the end, there is a triumphant bass drop that comes as a liberating interjection to the existing beat. When Sanborn dropped the heightened, deeper bass Thursday night it sent a surge of energy through the sold-out Majestic. The expectant crowd pulsed with a momentary explosion of dance and then returned to their rhythmic swaying.

The production on their first and only self-titled album, Sylvan Esso, is sharp, clean and highlights Meath’s vocal integrity; she scales a broad range of pitch with an ease

that is beautiful to listen to and would be difficult to translate to a live performance, for most musicians. Miraculously, Meath hit the same crisp and poignant notes on stage as she did on the album. Her highly-articulated vocals echoed into the crowd with a smooth, yet sharp intensity like the polished edge of a freshly cut diamond.

The stage had a no frills setup with only a synthesizer, a laptop and several standup lights, but the two compensated with their powerful performing style. They fed off each other’s energy and interacted with facial expressions and banter several times throughout the set.

Their dance styles also contrasted in a complimentary way. Meath moved her body in a manner that seemed to personify the rhythm of the

music; she swayed and rocked back and forth with one fluid motion that invited the crowd to follow suit. It was infectious witnessing this expression of the music. Her moves weren’t highly rehearsed or intricate, she looked more like how one would dance in the privacy of their own home, letting the music take complete control and letting go of all inhibitions.

It was easy to lose yourself in the intense swaying of Meath’s swaying and bobbing, but Sanborn was also incredible to watch. Where Meath was free-flowing and whimsical, Sanborn moved in bursts of distorted twists and tangles of his arms. When the bass dropped it looked like his body was overcome with a sudden wave of intense emotion and his whole body came down on the synthesizer

as he pinched and twisted different synths and beats. He became a character beyond the seemingly goofy and sweetnatured man who greeted his “shy, Midwestern parents,” who were sitting high above in the Majestic balcony, between songs.

Their set ended with “Play it Right,” the sample track that brought the two together when Meath asked Sanborn to remix it. It was a fast-paced, singalong tune. For their encore, they closed out the night at around 12 p.m. with “Come Down,” a ballad that features Meath’s slow, melancholy vocals dribbling softly over Sanborn’s quiet atmospheric sounds and occasional beats.

It was a calm and beautiful close to high-intensity, passionfilled night of sharp vocals and powerful bass drops.

Morey digs UW out of hole after Hickey’s graduation After defensive specialist started career at Notre Dame, junior has found permanent spot in back row and has played big role in 5-0 start

by Chris Bumbaca Associate Sports Editor

Morey said. “A lot of it I give credit to my teammates obviously too, because we don’t get these individual awards without each other.”

Fortunately for the Badgers and particularly Morey, Hickey has stuck around as a student assistant coach this season, allowing Morey to seek out advice from her as she adjusts to a full-time player role.

Morey says the shift from being a role player, who managed to play in all 38 games for the Badgers last season, to never leaving the court has been a bit of an adjustment, but she’s noticed an evolution in her leadership role on the team.

“My leadership has definitely developed,” Morey said. “What it always comes down to is my team and being the best player I

When a national finalist team returns nearly every important player to the court, they are undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with it. The Wisconsin volleyball team has definitely been a force so far this season, winning 15 of its first 17 sets of the season to open the year 5-0 with victories against Notre Dame, Louisville, Northern Colorado, Florida A&M and No. 13 Colorado State.

The only Total Attempts: 79 (leads team) graduating starter from last year ’s team was libero Annemarie Hickey, but her departure left a gaping hole in the Aces: 5 (second on team) team’s defense.

Up to the plate stepped Taylor Morey.

The former defensive specialist has assumed the libero role for the 2014 season. Upon the conclusion off the first games off 5.88 Digs per Set the season, she was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week. She recorded double-digit digs in both matches, which ranked second in the Big Ten. More impressive was Morey’s serve receive. She avoided getting aced in 27 attempts, “Having someone who can be for them.” yet added three service aces had such a significant role Morey did not begin her herself. and such a great leader collegiate career at UW.

“I knew I wanted to play at a more competitive conference, and the Big Ten is the best,” Morey said.

“So for me, personally, it was just a matter of I wasn’t happy there. I didn’t leave with any bad feelings, it’s just one of those things where it wasn’t the right fit.”

what the school had to offer academically.”

After visiting Madison and a couple of other schools, Morey felt a strong affinity to the school and the program.

“It all kinda worked out,” Morey said.

It’s working out on the court as well.

Last season, she played back-row for Ellen

Receiving Percentage: 0.975

Total Digs: 100 (leads team)

Head coach Kelly Sheffield, who coached Morey’s sister Allyson for three seasons at Dayton before taking the job at UW, pounced on the opportunity to recruit her.

“I’ve known Taylor for a very long time,” Sheffield said. “I’ve known her family for years, so when you get wind that she wants out, you make a couple calls, and then we got her to visit and I think she fell in love with the atmosphere and

Chapman, where she was responsible for making sure the lethal outside-hitter got her touches. She averaged 2.65 digs per set, and started nine games.

“She works harder than anyone else,” Sheffield said.

“I mean, talk about someone who’s always in the gym.”

It is that kind of workethic that has set Morey up in a favorable position to succeed. Her coach is also pleased with her newfound confidence this season.

“You can always count on her in big moments,” Sheffield said. “When the game is on the line she’s always ready to answer the bell and make a big play.”

Sheffield says he has been impressed with her passing numbers so far, but would like to see her develop her serving game to really make her a complete player.

Morey takes tremendous pride in protecting the defensive side of the court.

She expressed that some of it is positioning and reading the ball, and the rest is the willingness to hit the ground before b the ball b does.

Whatever Morey lacks in height — she only stands at 5-foot-5 — she makes up for in tenacity and quickness.

Morey was asked if she feels shunned from the spotlight being b a defensive player on a team filled with offensive juggernauts.

“Never,” she replied. “It’s not about the spotlight. It’s about us and our team and where we want to go. We have a lot of really great players on our team and I love playing with every one of them, but not one of us ever thinks about the spotlight because it’s all about the team.”

That kind of selflessness will only make success easier for Morey and the Badgers this season.

Badgers stay perfect with two more wins Trip west to Husky Nike Invite improves season record to 6-0

by Jamie DeGraff Women’s Soccer Wrter

Giving up goals just doesn’t seem to be a concept the No. 15 Wisconsin women’s soccer team understands.

Coming off a dominant home stand that featured four straight wins, 11 goals scored and just one allowed, the Badgers didn’t miss a beat as they took their show on the road to the West Coast for the Husky Nike Invitational in Seattle this weekend.

Game one of the weekend featured a collision between two undefeated UW teams, as the Badgers (6-0-0 overall) squared off against the Washington Huskies (31-0) Friday night. Despite firing off five shots on goal in the first half, the Badgers only tallied one goal by redshirt senior forward Kodee Williams in the 10th minute.

Williams broke away from the defense and finished off the play with a chip over the goalkeeper into the back of the net for her second score of the season.

A 15-minute break to regroup seemed to be all the Badgers needed to kick it into the next gear. Just three minutes into the second half,

the offense got right down to business with a setup from sophomore midfielder Rose Lavelle to fellow junior midfielder Kinley McNicoll for a long-range goal to make it 2-0. The defense, held down by redshirt senior Alexandra Heller and junior Brianna Stelzer, was successful again in limiting the amount of saves required by redshirt senior Genevieve Richard to just three. Stelzer and senior forward Cara Walls recorded two more goals in the win off crosses into the box in the 51st and 75th minutes, respectively, for a 4-0 final. While the Huskies failed to score on the night, redshirt junior goalkeeper Megan Kufeld made some respectable saves throughout the game to keep it within reach for her team during the first half.

Sunday’s matchup against No. 22 Portland (2-3-0) showcased more of the same from the Badgers’ high-powered offense and stout defense.

Walls got the scoring started early with a onetimer boot thanks to a perfectly placed cross

by Williams in the ninth minute. It was Walls’ sixth goal of the season.

Determined to uphold her perfect 2014 goalkeeping

record, Richard refused to let a ball cross the line again, en route to four saves on seven total shots that challenged her throughout the day. Desperation from Portland to shut down the Badgers attack led to some costly fouls on defense, the most noteworthy being a call in the box which led to McNicoll scoring her fifth goal of the season in the 26th minute off a penalty kick.

Despite out-shooting Wisconsin 6-4 in the second half after a seemingly nonexistent offensive start to the game, the Pilots joined the growing list of teams that have been shut out by the Badgers this season.

Scoring altogether came to a halt after redshirt junior Marisa Kresge finished off a deflected cross into the box during the 36th minute for her second goal of the 2014 campaign.

Eighth-year head coach Paula Wilkins picked up her 70th and 71st career wins at the helm of the Badgers’ over the weekend.

The Badgers will be on the pitch again next weekend for a pair of road games against Michigan State Friday, Sept. 12, and Michigan next Sunday, Sept. 14.

Offense answers call in 37-3 romp of Leathernecks After only two points in the first quarter-and-a-half, Badgers score on three straight drives in second and third quarters to record first win

by Dan Corcoran Sports Editor

There were a lot of questions heading into the second game of the season for the Wisconsin football team, but Tanner McEvoy answered them and cemented his starting role in the process.

After a slow start offensively, McEvoy came into his own midway through the second quarter and provided the necessary spark the Badgers’ offense needed, leading them on three straight scoring drives on the way to a 37-3 victory over Western Illinois at Camp Randall.

“It was great for us to deal with the adversity we had to deal with in the first quarter and really the whole first half,” head coach Gary Andersen said after the game. “Two weeks in a row now we’ve had some substantial adversity hit us right in the face. A lot of teams this time of year have faced zero adversity and we’ve faced it twice. We’ve looked it right in the eye.

“There was no one placing blame. We kept on fighting. At halftime we all just challenged ourselves to execute and be tough. They did it.”

UW (1-1 overall) scored its fastest points of the season to gain the early advantage with just a second having ticked off the clock to open the game, but the offense didn’t even score those points.

The Leathernecks’ Kyle Hammonds muffed the opening kickoff in front

of his own goal line and had possession of the ball before taking a knee in the end zone. The officials originally ruled the play a touchback but overturned the call in favor of a safety after a video review to give Wisconsin a 2-0 lead.

Following the strange start, it took the Badgers the better part of two quarters to put more points on the board. McEvoy labored through the first quarter and completed just one of three passes for only eight yards.

With Wisconsin struggling in the passing department, Western Illinois clogged the box with up to 10 players at times, daring Wisconsin to go to the air.

However, with McEvoy’s early struggles, UW chose to stay with the running game but to no avail, resulting in three punts, an interception and a turnover on downs in the first four possessions.

Not all of the blame in the early going fell on the backfield, as right tackle Rob Havenstein commented after the game.

“No matter how many guys they put in the box – 10, 11, 13, 27 – it doesn’t matter. We still got to get that run game going. That’s squarely on the shoulders of us, the offensive line. We got to get that going. Melvin [Gordon], Corey [Clement] and all those guys can only do so much. We got to help them out anyway we can,” Havenstein said.

But as the game progressed in the second quarter, the passing game finally began to

get some traction. With Wisconsin pinned deep in it’s own territory, McEvoy orchestrated the first substantial drive of the game starting with 13:31 to go in the second quarter and the ball on the 3-yard line. Although the drive didn’t yield any points after the Badgers turned the ball over on downs, McEvoy got into a groove that he stayed in for the rest of the game. The possession lasted 17 plays and ate up 8:22, during which McEvoy completed eight throws for 80 of the drive’s 90 total yards. Three of those throws were third down conversions which came on completions of 13, 22 and 14 yards.

“There was nothing said.

There was no magic fairy dust sprinkled on him,” Andersen said of the change in McEvoy’s play, beginning in that drive. “He started to execute. He started to

run the offense well and he started to play the way we thought he could when we recruited him.”

After wide receiver Reggie Love dropped a ball halfway through that fourth drive, McEvoy went on to complete his final six passes, and continued his string of completions on the next possession. Following a three-and-out by Western Illinois, McEvoy charged the Badgers down the field in just three plays to get what proved to be the gamewinning score. He started the drive with his longest pass of the afternoon, a 37-yard connection with tight end Sam Arneson to put Wisconsin at the Leathernecks’ 17-yard line.

McEvoy then made backto-back plays with his legs with a scramble for 10 yards and an option-read for seven to get into the endzone.

As McEvoy explained,

he wasn’t the only one in charge in the change of fortune for the offense.

“They were putting us in a position to have to pass the ball,” McEvoy said. “We started to get into a little bit of a rhythm. We had some great catches from some receivers and the pass protection was there. We executed, we answered and that’s what you have to do.”

Western Illinois got a field goal at the end of the first half to cut the lead to 9-3, but McEvoy and the offense picked up right where they had left off and scored two more times to go up 23-3 to start the third quarter. The first scoring drive lasted 10 plays as McEvoy led UW 75 yards for a touchdown, while the second was a quick strike, three-play 57-yard drive.

McEvoy finished with 283 yards passing along with a team-high 55 yards on the ground.

The only serious threat posed by Western Illinois was in the second quarter when UW led 2-0, but safety Michael Caputo picked off Trenton Norvell in the redzone to preserve Wisconsin’s lead.

“We got a lot of young guys out there and it was a learning curve for us,” Havenstein said. “Winning just doesn’t happen. It’s going to be a fight every single game. You can’t just show up and someone’s going to give you the W.”

The displeasure from the 77,125 fans at Camp Randall towards Wisconsin starting quarterback Tanner McEvoy came early on Saturday.

Not even halfway through the opening quarter of play, against Football Championship Subdivision opponent Western Illinois, McEvoy threw a pass over the middle of the field that was intercepted by the Leathernecks’ Dallas Nichols.

For McEvoy, it was already his third interception in only 26 pass attempts on the season and the Badger faithful rained down “boos” as the offense exited the field.

When the first quarter came to a close, the Badgers found themselves up by only two over Western Illinois and were outgained by the Leathernecks, 51-45. McEvoy completed just one pass for eight yards.

After struggling in the opening game of the season against LSU, the quarterback situation looked bleak for UW going into the second quarter on Saturday, but the offense led by McEvoy eventually righted the ship.

The offensive attack turned around right away in the second quarter for McEvoy as he led the Badgers on a 17-play, 90yard drive. Although the drive was stalled in the red zone on a failed fourth down attempt, there was officially life in an otherwise dull Badger offense.

McEvoy went 8-for-10 on the drive with one of those incompletions coming on a wide open pass that was dropped by Reggie Love.

Had Love caught the pass, he had more than enough space to finish off what would have been a 67-yard touchdown.

Following the dropped pass by Love, McEvoy would not throw another incompletion until the fourth quarter.

With the run game struggling due to Western Illinois loading up the box, McEvoy showed why Wisconsin head coach Gary Andersen recruited the dualthreat quarterback. After the 17-play drive earlier in the second quarter, McEvoy once again marched the Badgers right down the field and took only three plays to score the first touchdown of the game for UW. McEvoy accounted for all 54 yards on the drive including a 37-yard pass to Sam Arneson, followed by a run for 10 yards and his first career touchdown with UW that came on the very next play on a seven-yard rush.

As the first half ended, those “boos” which rained down in the first quarter, turned into cheers.

McEvoy put a rough first quarter behind him to finish the first half 10-for-14 with 125 yards through the air while leading the team in rushing with 40 yards on four attempts and a touchdown.

The third quarter started out much like the second quarter ended with McEvoy attacking Western Illinois’ defense while leading the Badgers down the field. McEvoy added four more throws without an incompletion while sending UW on a 10-play, 75-yard drive. The drive ended with McEvoy’s first career touchdown pass which came on a three-yard pass to Austin Ramesh.

The next time the Badgers got the ball, McEvoy and the offense looked as good as they ever have, taking just 1:01 to travel 57 yards while adding their third touchdown of the game.

Melvin Gordon’s eightyard touchdown reception gave McEvoy his second career touchdown pass and put UW up 23-3 over the Leathernecks.

A few seconds into the fourth quarter, McEvoy finally threw an incompletion but it came after he rattled off

17 straight pass completions while helping the Badgers score 21 points on three straight possessions.

With the offense failing to move the ball against an FCS opponent, the completions streak, and the offensive turnaround led by McEvoy, could not have come at a better time.

“I found out after the game that I made that many completions in a row,” McEvoy said. “At that point in the game we were just trying to get the ball moving and get some points on the board because we started off a little slow. So we executed and we did what we had to do.”

After completing only eight passes in the season opener against LSU, McEvoy nearly tripled that amount on Saturday, going 23-for28 with 283 yards and three touchdowns. McEvoy also got to show off his dualthreat capabilities, leading the team in rushing with 61 yards on nine carries while adding one more touchdown on the ground. At the end of the game, McEvoy accounted for 344 of the Badgers’ 456 total yards and four out of the five touchdowns.

“Tanner [McEvoy] did what we thought he could do,” Andersen said. “He did some nice things with his legs, had good command of the offense, and he threw the ball very, very well. He seemed to be pretty poised. If there wasn’t something there he got out of it, which was good to see.”

As McEvoy finally showed his potential on the field, he may have found a new favorite wide receiver by way of redshirt sophomore Alex Erickson.

Erickson finished with career-highs in catches (10) and yards (122). His fourth quarter touchdown, which came on a pass from McEvoy, was also the first of his career. With his 122 yards through the air, Erickson became the first wide

receiver not named Jared Abbrederis to have more than 100 receiving yards in a game since Nick Toon did it in the 2012 Rose Bowl against Oregon.

“The plays are getting called and [McEvoy] is looking my way, so I’m just trying to make the plays when you get the opportunity,” Erickson said.

“They were loading the box, so we knew we had to get the pass game going,” Erickson added. “To get some short passes going to supplement the run game was great.”

A lot of what Erickson did on Saturday was because of what the Western Illinois

defense was giving the Photo · Quarterback Tanner Badgers on offense.
