Dairy state to bring beer, cheese to college classroom University of Wisconsin to introduce new certificate program with focus on fermentation to match state’s growing food, beverage industries by Alex Arriaga News Editor

Nina Kravinsky Reporter

University of Wisconsin students will soon be able to bring their passions for beer, wine and cheese to the classroom, with a new certificate program in food sciences. The certificate aims to teach students the processes of making beer, wine, yogurt, cheese and many other foods and beverages that involve fermentation, according to a UW statement. The program will allow

both degree-seeking students and members of the general public to pursue training and take courses in a field that has been gaining speed in the last ten years, Barry Cameron, a geology professor at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee who has helped bring the program to the UW system, said. “[This program] means a great deal to craft brewers in Wisconsin because it’s a very vibrant and growing industry right now and the need for well-trained and knowledgeable employees is very essential to continuing that growth,” Mark Garthwaite, the Wisconsin

Brewers Guild Executive Director, said. The program also includes classes in wine-making, an industry which has been growing in the Midwest over these past few years. According to a 2011 report from the University of Minnesota, Wisconsin wine and grape growing industries have greater than $119 million impact on the state economy. Keeping this recent winery boom in mind, Cameron said that wine would be a major focus of the certificate program. “I think there are positive things going on and huge

growths in the wine industry that we want to focus on, and I think it is true in a lot of wine regions that there’s often been a strong connection between growing wine and the region’s university,” Cameron said. Tom Bryan, a graduate student who got his undergraduate degree from UW in microbiology, taught a fermentation seminar for two spring semesters for residents of the Aldo Leopold dormitory’s Greenhouse Learning Community. Bryan said the fermentation program at UW would be an especially good fit because of the fermented

food industry in Wisconsin. As a state that is known for its beer and cheese, Byran said, not having a fermented food system is almost embarrassing. The program is long overdue, he said. Bryan said he took a fermentation course offered through the Food Science department, taught by Professor James Steele, who played a big role in bringing the fermentation program to UW. Bryan said the class was 120 people from all different disciplines, a sign of how many students are interested in fermentation. “Jim Steele gave the best

Possible illegal campaign finance in Walker camp turns attention to independant voters by Dan Kindermanreporter

After oral arguments were heard at the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals Tuesday, attention has again been placed on the John Doe investigation into possible illegal coordination between the Walker campaign, other Republican state Senate campaigns and Wisconsin Club for Growth around the time of the 2012 recall election. The investigation, which has contributed to the partisan trend in the state of Wisconsin, may be major factor in the upcoming gubernatorial election, University of Wisconsin journalism professor Mike Wagner said.

“I think that from the public’s point of view, the effects of the investigation are partisan in that strong supporters on each side see this kind of investigation as a rallying cry for why they want their side to win,” Wagner said. Barry Burden, UW political science professor, agreed with Wagner ’s “rallying cry theory,” adding there are many voters in the state who are very tied to one party or the other and will probably not be persuaded to change their votes. However, in a state split on party lines with already-high levels of political polarization, public opinion of the slim number of independent

voters on the Doe case could make or break the hopes of Walker ’s reelection campaign, Burden said. “There is this very small share of the electorate that seems not to be tied to either side, despite the polarization that has happened,” Burden said. “They’re really attuned to current events and how the state is faring […] so the economic numbers around jobs and the budget and the John Doe investigation will be factors that I think will affect them, and they could be decisive if both partisan sides are dug in and it’s that group that ends up making the difference.” However, according to Wagner, due to the nature

of the investigation, public opinion on the case may not necessarily be as important as some members of the media may think. The problem, Wagner said, is that the John Doe case is too confusing to sway even the independent voters’ opinion. “I think the strongest supporters on both sides are following this [investigation], but most folks find these investigations a bit too confusing and muddled to understand what kind of conclusion they should draw from it,” Wagner said. Burden said he sees the investigation as a

example of a fermented food that people eat all the time but no one knows its fermented,” Bryan said. “Pizza. The bread has yeast, the cheese is fermented, the pepperoni is a fermented sausage. Shit, we’re all eating fermented products all the damn time.” Future fermentation students are advised to keep their eyes peeled in the coming months, as the program is expected to be approved this fall, Cameron said. Both UW and UW Milwaukee hope to offer courses being beginning in the 2015 spring semester.

For 86 years, College Barber Shop has stood on the corner of State and Lake Street. Now, owner Larry Cobb is saying goodbye. Cobb cited a spike in the building’s rent cost. “Yeah, it’s about money,” Cobb said. “But they’re nice. They’ve been good to me.” The owners of the building, the Osborne family, realized they could get more money for the location, Cobb said, and may also be planning on revamping the corner with a new business. The shop, founded in 1928, has seen three owners in its time. Fred Lee started the business, then Don Fine took over in 1969. Cobb started cutting hair at the shop in October of 1978, and he and Kevin Conlin

became co-owners in 2007. Through the years, College Barber has had a few noteworthy customers, including football player Elroy “Crazylegs” Hirsch and University of Wisconsin basketball coach Bo Ryan. The most notable, Cobb said, was when they got a call from the governor’s office asking for an opening so that former Gov. Lee Dreyfus could get his hair cut by Fine. Fine hired Cobb 36 years ago, and the two have developed a strong friendship in their time together. One of Fine’s concerns was that Cobb would not be around to cut his hair after the shop closed. “He said, ‘who’s going to cut my hair?,’ and I said, ‘don’t worry, I’ll come to your house and trim it for you,’” Cobb said. “Don’s an easy haircut. He doesn’t have that much hair on

top.” Much of the shop’s popularity comes from Fine’s work. Cobb said people know the shop because they know Fine and the business he built in his 61 years of work. Cobb said he also thinks the old-fashioned style of

“run,It’s

been a good with a few good stories to tell and a lot of good memories.

”

Larry Cobb Owner of College Barber the shop has been a big reason it has become a feature of State Street. “I think it is kind of a landmark. A lot of people really like coming down here. They like the old rustic look, like the old

barber chairs from 1949,” Cobb said. “People kind of appreciate the older, nostalgic atmosphere I guess.” He said he thinks one of the current employees may be looking to open a new barber shop on Gilman Street in a month or so, though he is not sure if the College Barber Shop name would live on. However, Cobb said he was even asked to cut hair a few times a week at the new location. After the Wisconsin State Journal ran a story about the shop closing, Cobb said he received calls from several landlords offering new locations, but again, the rent was too high. “It’s triple what I’m paying,” Cobb said. “We’d have to cut a lot of hair to make ends meet.” As for the rest of the employees, Cobb said most of them have

Cobb sees himself picking up another job too, possibly driving handicap vehicles for people with disabilities for a hospice care program, he said. College Barber Shop will be open until noon Saturday, but the send-off party for Cobb and the rest of the barbers will likely be Friday. “I think we’re all going to go over to the Kollege Klub and have a beer or two, maybe three,” Cobb said. “It’s been a good run, with a few good stories to tell and a lot of good memories.”

UW aims to lessen high-risk drinking Police look to increase enforcement against underage alcohol consumption on weekends, gamedays

Wisconsin may be more culturally accepting of alcohol, however according to university officials leniency toward underage drinking will be taking a downturn. Will Chapman, Assistant Director of Student Conduct, said there has been an increase in the level of enforcement with alcohol following an input of alcohol use data from an alcohol review last year, that showed students drinking habits such as the practice of pre-gaming, something University of Wisconsin hopes to lessen, especially in residence halls. Following UW’s first home game, Dean of Students Lori Berquam sent out a letter alerting parents about the dangers students face when handling alcohol on campus. In the letter Berquam discussed the level of

underage drinking that went on over the weekend, a level that UW Police Department spokesperson Marc Lovicott said naturally rises at the start of every school year. “UW-Madison Police Department reported that 12 students were transported to detox and 69 students were issued underage alcohol violations,” Berquam said in the email. “One incident involved an 18-year-old student who was found by police, alone and sleeping among broken beer bottles, at 8:30 a.m. His blood alcohol level was above .2.” Chapman said the university has long recognized alcohol use as a major issue, and having the data has allowed further action to be taken. In collaboration with UWPD, enforcement is going up. “Enforcement is up, they’re putting a greater emphasis in addressing risky behaviors, confronting students who

are obviously intoxicated,” Chapman said. He said the average BAC this past weekend was .19, more than double the legal limit, and many were underage. When enforcing underage drinking, police use behavior-based enforcement, looking for high-risk individuals based on those carrying open intoxicants or stumbling, Chapman said. For students who face underage drinking incidents, UW will require the enrollment in either Choices about Alcohol or BASICS, two programs that are intended to provide an education about safe alcohol consumption. “Most students don’t know that weight, biological sex, the amount of food in your stomach, the amount of water you drink that day all factor [in],” Chapman said. Lovicott said it is nothing new for police to crackdown on underage drinking as students

return to campus. He said one way UWPD hopes to ensure safety on campus is by emphasizing the Responsible Action Policy, in which students can report an intoxicated friend in danger without facing legal consequences. Madison police spokesperson Joel DeSpain said that while university events are under the jurisdiction of UWPD, Madison’s police will pick up enforcement Thursday through Sunday during the school year to ensure safety downtown. “We work hard to get cooperation with bars and taverns to prevent underage drinking,” DeSpain said. “We do checks, we do a lot of educational efforts to talk with students through neighborhood officers and others about the dangers of excessive drinking.” Chapman said in Wisconsin, while it may not be legally more lenient on alcohol, culturally is

He said students come in with a false sense of invincibility about alcohol, not realizing how an academic misconduct record can affect employment, as well as applications into competitive programs such as the schools of business, journalism or engineering. “Students come in thinking, ‘I could get away with anything’ when using alcohol in a low-risk way,” Chapman said. “The permissiveness around heavier drinking is there. If all of our students average drink quantity was one or two drinks, this wouldn’t be our major issue. But because our average is five or more, we’re talking about this.”

Controversial animal research at UW halted by Daniel McKay City Editor

Animal research at the University of Wisconsin has been no stranger to controversy in recent years with claims from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals alleging violations of multiple animal safety regulations. This week, a Dane County committee voiced an opinion on the animal research discourse, voting to postpone a controversial UW project indefinitely. The resolution, backed by Dane County Board Supervisor Al Matano, District 11, called for the university to stop an anxiety study that involves rhesus macaques, a breed of monkey. “It’s a particularly sadistic batch of experiments,” Matano said. “It’s a kind of extreme measure to come up with one more drug for a class that already has a number of drugs in it.” The experiment, proposed by UW Psychiatry Department chairman Ned Kalin, aims to determine what genes and chemicals act in the brain in animals with anxiety. It involves two groups of rhesus macaques, one group raised by their mothers, and the other raised in incubators and by researchers.

The expectation is that the monkeys brought up without their mothers would develop mild anxiety and behave differently in evaluative tests over the course of the experiment, Eric Sandgren, director of the UW Research Animal Resources Center, said. At the end of the study, Sandgren said the monkeys are euthanized so that biochemical changes in the brains of the animals can be analyzed. Dane County Board Supervisor Sharon Corrigan, who chaired of the committee that voted on the resolution Monday, said the decision did not go without some debate. “I think that, because the county doesn’t do this research and has no authority over the research, there was a hesitancy to be making a statement on this research,” Corrigan said. Because of the nature of the project, Sandgren said he was not surprised by opposition from the public. The project was controversial in the UW research department as well, but he said modifications were made until it was accepted by his colleagues. “We had a lot of internal scrutiny,” Sandgren said. “It’s just very logical then to expect that if it’s controversial within our

committees, then it’s going to be controversial outside too.” Sandgren said he does not have a problem with the public discussion of the experiment, but said he has a problem with this particular resolution because “some parts of it are false.” Sandgren said the resolution stated there was no hope for human benefit and the methods were unethical, but he said it is a necessary process for how basic research moves forward. “In this case, there was no other way to get this information. You can’t look for them by MRI, you have to know what they are first,” Sandgren said. “Given the amount of harm, given the potential benefits and the lack of alternatives, I believe it is ethical.” Leland Pan, Dane County Board Supervisor, District 5, said he wants to see the resolution brought back into discussion. Pan said he is hesitant to commit one way or another until all the arguments are heard. No matter what, he said he thinks there is going to be a lot of unintentional exaggeration on both sides. “I want this to be in the light and for it to come to a vote one way or another, just so we have a conversation,” Pan said.

Mayor Paul Soglin’s largest capital budget to date was up for discussion at Madison’s Board of Estimates meeting Wednesday, deconstructing the $247.7 million proposal which looks to fund a wide range of city projects from improvements to police technology, to environmental initiatives. The 2015 proposed budget is larger overall than the $225.3 million 2014 budget, however, Soglin has proposed $6 million less for new projects citywide than last year. Of the total amount, $92.5 million was allocated to new projects in 2014 compared to $82.7 million in 2015. Body cameras for police officers The possibility of funding Madison police officers to arm themselves with body cameras proved to carry weight in the discussion. Madison Police Chief Mike Koval said he was,

“not opposed to the notion of transparency,” but would much rather have additional neighborhood officers instead of the body cameras. The cost of the cameras would be between $150 and $2000 per device. Ald. Scott Resnick, District 8, spoke in favor of funding the body cameras. “While the chief has the opportunity to advocate for his department, I believe the cameras are a valuable resource beyond just the police department,” Resnick said. “While I do respect the chief ’s opinion, I believe we can achieve more. I think this is a case where it’s our duty to the public to get to great.” Although officers within the Madison Police Department do not currently wear body cameras, Koval said the most highly contested interactions between officers and civilians, including interrogations and traffic stops, are already

filmed. Additionally, Koval praised the city’s camera network, which helped identify a person of interest in a recent homicide on Badger Road. Encouraging composting Another budget topic was the lack of funding for a filter for the biodigester, which costs around $120,000. Several members of the public spoke about their opposition to the delay in constructing the biodigester, saying the issue was one of quality of life. The biodigester was proposed as part of an increased effort to encourage composting among city residents and would provide clean fuel using organic waste. The program, which is in the pilot stage, provides residents of several Madison neighborhoods curbside compost bins that they can use to discard their organic wastes for conversion to biofuels and compost.

Dane County landfill expansion begins work Project hopes to decrease environmental impact of waste emissions by Andrew Jensen Reporter

According to Dane County Executive Joe Parisi, the landfill used by the city of Madison should have already reached capacity. “We were reaching capacity, we had about two to three years left on the landfill when I was elected about 3 1/2 years ago,” Dane County Executive Joe Parisi said. Dane County’s Rodefeld Landfill broke ground on an expansion project this week in an effort to increase longevity and decrease environmental impact from waste emissions. The landfill, located in the town of Cottage Grove off of Highway 12, will include new features such as gas extraction, electricity conversion and a facility to extract waste. According to a statement from the Dane County Executive Office, the expansion will cost $20 million and extend the life of the landfill for another 30 years. The alternative was siting a new landfill, which would have cost more than $100

million and taken nearly a decade to develop. The process could have also resulted in the loss of at least 200 acres of prime farmland, the statement said. Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said Madison has depended on the county landfill for many years, and the city’s streets division has been the largest customer of the landfill for several decades. Verveer said last year the city and the county negotiated jointly to expand the landfill, partly because some Madison park land is included in the expansion. Parisi said there are two county buildings being built across the street from the landfill: a medical examiner ’s office and a highway garage. Heat collected from waste materials will be used to heat the buildings through a piping system. Another unique feature of this landfill is the way collected methane gas will be utilized. Verveer said Madison has been collecting methane on the site for years already, but now through the expansion, the methane will be used to create energy and fuel county

The landfill will also look to improve clean energy efforts by utilizing renewable energy production. According to the statement, the expansion allows the county to nearly double its production of renewable energy from decaying trash at the Rodefeld facility. The landfill currently generates $3.3 million in electricity annually that is purchased by MG&E, which is enough to power 4,000 homes. The energy savings will be shared by Madison residents and students as the plant produces recycled energy more efficiently, Parisi said. “This will help lower energy costs for people in Dane County. We are saving money on energy, and we earn money on electricity we sell at the landfill,” Parisi said. “We are one of the greenest, hardest-working landfills in the state.”

ASM focuses on voting Student Council looks to increase student turnout for Nov. election by Emily Neinfeldt Reporter

The Associated Students of Madison highlighted the importance of registering more students to vote in the upcoming November election in their first meeting of the semester Wednesday evening. Student Council welcomed Madison City Clerk Maribeth WitzelBehl to speak about special registration deputy training. Members of the council were deputized and are now able to register voters; a step they are taking to increase student voter turnout. “Students and studentage people usually turn out in the lowest numbers,” Gen Carter, ASM chair, said. “So we really want to mobilize students, teach them about their voting rights, make sure they’re registered, aware and ready to participate.” Brad Peltin, chair of the Voter Registration Campaign, and Tom Gierok, chair of ASM’s Legislative Affairs committee, spoke at Student Council about strategies they have developed over the summer and are implementing this fall to register voters. Members like Jessica Franco-Morales have been

appointed to the recently created positions of Student Vote Organizers to reach out to student organizations and recruit students in both Memorial Union and Union South. SVO’s have already registered 1,500 students to vote and their goal is to reach 5,000 by Sept. 15. “Eighteen-to-24-yearolds turn out to vote in the lowest numbers, which causes lawmakers to neglect student’s issues,” Peltin said. “When students begin to vote in higher numbers than lawmakers will recognize that students are keeping them in office and, in turn, direct more attention to their issues.” ASM is also directing their attention to the implementation stages of the diversity plan, which will be a major point of discussion at Student Council meetings from this point forward. Dolly Wang, chair of the Diversity Committee, spoke Wednesday about reaching out to all communities - especially those in the minority, such as international students. “The diversity plan was passed last year by shared governance bodies,” Carter said. “But now we’re moving into the implementation phase. I think it’ll be really important for students to be very active and

very present in those conversations, especially communities of campus that have not been engaged in those conversations so far.” Gierok also spoke about the increased need for advocating for financial aid and affordable higher education. Policies have been drafted for the state biennial budget, and a budget presentation is in the works for ASM. “We have the state biennial budget coming up,” Carter said. “We’re going to be advocating for increases in financial aid, making sure that tuition stays accessible and affordable, and that higher education is a priority for people who are in positions of power.” ASM is holding a kickoff ceremony Thursday, Sept. 11 at 7 p.m. in Humanities 3650, where Carter said she hopes students will be able to further express which issues they prioritize. “For any student that is looking to get involved with ASM, I would recommend coming to one of the grassroots committee meetings,” Carter said. “That’s the place where they’re going to be able to talk about the issues that are most affecting them, and actually create an action plan.”

Democrats fail on college affordability “Higher Ed, Lower Debt” bill endorsed by gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke, other state officials short-sighted by CHARLIE HOFFMAN College Republican Contributor

Democrats have been quick to highlight the student loan crisis as a talking point this election cycle. Here in Wisconsin, Gov. Scott Walker and candidate Mary Burke both argue that their policies are the better way to combat the growing student debt crisis. At the University of Wisconsin, the average student graduates with $27,000 in debt, which prevents graduates from taking out loans for homes, cars or even studying at other institutions. Obviously, this crisis is approaching a tipping point and action needs to be taken to solve the current situation. Mary Burke has touted the state Democrats’ Higher Ed, Lower Debt bill as the solution to this crisis. While the name sounds good, it will do little to actually make college more affordable. This bill would add another government bureaucracy that students and families would have to deal with in order to pay off their loans. One could also argue that this bill would shift the

liability of student loans from the federal government and private banks to Wisconsin taxpayers. If the agency created by this bill could not pay off the bonds, the bill would then be passed along to the taxpayers. Walker, on the other hand, passed the first ever two-year tuition freeze for the UW System in his last budget. Previously, UW tuition had risen at a 7.4 percent rate in the past ten years, meaning that tuition at Wisconsin was almost doubling every ten years. When Walker and other Republicans discovered the UW System’s massive cash reserves, they knew that the responsible thing to do was to call for tuition freeze. Due to the success of the first freeze, Walker has promised to enact another two-year freeze in his next budget if he is re-elected. Meanwhile, Mary Burke has refused to commit to another tuition freeze, which should concern students. If Mary Burke is anything like her Democratic predecessor, former Gov. Jim Doyle, students may be in for a shock if she were to be elected governor. In Doyle’s first state budget, UW tuition

rose by 18 percent in the first year and 15 percent in the second year, effectively placing a heavy weight on students and their families to balance the state budget. How can we be certain that Mary Burke won’t do the same thing? Students cannot afford to elect a governor who won’t promise to keep tuition rates low. Also, the Higher Ed, Lower Debt bill does not address the primary cause for student loan debt, which is rising tuition rates. The bill does nothing to freeze or cap tuition increases. Imagine student loan debt as a car heading towards a cliff. All the Higher Ed, Lower Debt bill does is slow down that car. Unfortunately, the car is still headed towards that cliff. By enacting the freeze, Walker has at least halted the rising rates of tuition. Many students may also be surprised to find out that the governor has increased state based financial need to its highest level in Wisconsin history. While the Democrats claim to be for the students, it has been Walker and other state Republicans who have been leading the way to make college more affordable in

the state of Wisconsin. The real reform needed concerning student loan debt will have to come from the federal government because it is the primary cause of the current crisis. But, that does not mean that the governor and the state legislature should be idle in confronting the issue. The Higher Ed, Lower Debt bill does not present a reasonable solution to the problem. No proof exists that it would even lower interest on student

loans. By freezing tuition, Walker has eased the financial burden of attending a UW school. Walker ’s plan for keeping college affordable to all students is just one of the many reasons why I will be supporting him in the fall. Charlie Hoffmann (gopbadgers@gmail.com) is the chairman of the College Republicans and a junior majoring in economics and journalism.

Internet experimentation by sites mistreats public by BRIANA REILLY Editorial Page Editor

Resnick comes out on top with Uber, Lyft proposal by ADAM JOHNSON Columnist

November is usually seen as the end of a traditional election season, and this year appears to be business as usual. For many students, the gubernatorial election between Gov. Scott Walker and Mary Burke is as deep as they’ll think about politics for the next two years. In addition to voting in November, however, it is very important students take a stake in the Madison mayoral race held on Tuesday, April 7. Currently, there are three declared candidates for the office, current Mayor Paul Soglin, Alder Scott Resnick and former Alder Bridget Maniaci. The debate over how to handle ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft has been most prominent so far in the race with both Soglin and Resnick publically touting their own solutions. Maniaci has not yet publically presented a unique solution. As an issue that many in the city feel strongly about, it’s odd that Maniaci’s campaign hasn’t presented a potential solution. The other campaigns are using this debate as a chance to distinguish themselves from their opposition in clear ways and Maniaci is losing news stories. Hopefully, she is about to unveil something big that will eclipse the current issues, but it’s not apparent right now. For the candidates with an actual proposal, the Uber/Lyft debate is

a great way to see how each candidate approaches policy. For example, Soglin’s proposal pushes Uber and Lyft into the same category as traditional taxi services requiring them to abide by similar rules and regulations in order to legally operate. The details of Soglin’s proposal read like a slash and burn policy toward Uber and Lyft. While acknowledging that they represent new technology, Soglin looks out of touch by trying to shoehorn these services into existing stagnant policies. On the other hand, Resnick’s proposal rethinks some of the core tenants of Madison’s current taxi policies including the 24hour operation requirement. The smartest thing about Resnick’s proposal is a surcharge on taxi companies that do not operate 24 hours that is meant to ensure and subsidize 24-hour transit. In a city without 24-hour busing, transit is important at all hours, and Resnick deftly created a system where Uber and Lyft can maintain their core services — peer-to-peer pickups with variable pricing — without destroying the numerous local businesses that have been serving Madison for years. This solution promotes flexibility and will ultimately benefit the city with better transportation services at fairer prices. However, the Resnick campaign is playing a dangerous game. Soglin recently unveiled a $20 million proposal to create

Joey Reuteman The Badger Herald more affordable housing, a dramatic increase in funding for a program left languishing under Soglin’s leadership for the past few years. It’s a large sum and has received praise from numerous homeless advocates across the city. Whether Soglin can keep the full $20 million in the final budget is another matter, but Resnick and Maniaci seem to be the only ones not raving with compliments right now. Both candidates just pointed out the timing, saying it’s awfully convenient, especially since it has not been a priority for his previous years in office. While Resnick is winning hearts and minds over Uber and Lyft, Soglin has landed a solid punch by throwing out another policy that, and even if his proposed amount is eventually reduced, is getting good publicity. Overall, the battle over Uber and Lyft is a caricature of the campaigns: Resnick, the young, tech-savvy entrepreneur is revising the system to accommodate new technologies entering

Growing up in the early 2000s, my friends and I relied heavily on MSN and our Motorola Razrs for communication and flirtation. However, most of our flirting took place in person – in school hallways, on the bus, in after school club meetings. Six years ago, if someone was interested in finding a relationship, I would have given them the advice of joining student government or Spanish club; not only could you get a nice resume builder, but you could also spend time with well-motivated individuals of the opposite sex (looking back, it’s amazing that I dated anyone). The connections and relationships that took me weeks of 45-minute student government meetings to establish are now happening almost instantaneously online, with the help of apps like Tinder and OkCupid. While these “dating” devices sometimes seem to only be a platform for narcissistic users wanting to show off their selfies to the world, or a platform propagating a user’s search for someone to hook-up with under the guise of “looking for a relationship,” there’s quite a bit more going on. Behind the “dating site” front of OkCupid, for example, is a data-mining system that has collected information on human interactions. President of OkCupid Christian Rudder published his findings in a provocative blog post entitled, “We Experiment on Human Beings!” causing much uproar over the

the market and Soglin, the elder statesman who helped craft many of the policies which have successfully guided Madison for years arguing for the new businesses to assimilate into the existing model in order to safeguard safety and civil liberties for Madisonians. Maniaci just seems content to poke holes in other plans without presenting new ones. She’ll eventually start

flippant way he unveiled to the masses that he was treating OkCupid users like guinea pigs. OkCupid isn’t the only prominent site to bear the brunt of public disapproval and anger. Over the summer, Facebook revealed that in January 2012 it manipulated the newsfeeds of approximately 700,000 randomly selected users in order to perform a psychological study about how emotions spread on social media. Facebook experimenters would control the number of positive or negative posts a user saw, then record what type of post (positive or negative) the user would type, in order to find out if positiveness or negativity were contagious on the social network. In the cases of OkCupid and Facebook, the experiments did nothing to benefit the user, which differs from the experiments search engines do in order to optimize search results for consumers. Essentially, people are just being used in order to satisfy the site creator’s curiosity. People tend to think the only thing they need to fear when using the internet is the collection and aggregation of their own personal information, which can then be sold to advertising agencies. While the data-mining and analyzing techniques in this sense are scary (seeing perfectly-targeted ads pop up on Google and Facebook is startling), being the unwilling subjects of elaborate social experiments is often overlooked when it comes to internet usage. Basically, every internet user is the subject of a number of experiments on any site any time.

Although users haven’t necessarily given their explicit permission to be tested on, many sites (including OkCupid and Facebook) have argued that by agreeing to their terms of services, individuals have indeed consented. For example, this data mining on OkCupid is arguably legal because of their user policies, one of which reads, “[We may use information we collect about you to] perform research and analysis about your use of, or interest in, our products, services, or content, or the products, services or content offered by others.” Regardless of this previous user approval, it’s arguable that the experimentation on social media and dating sites (along with any other site internet-wide) is crossing ethical boundaries. Currently, the U.S. government, at Sen. Mark R. Warner ’s, D-Virginia, urging, is looking into the Facebook fiasco, specifically if oversight should be applied in further experiments of the like. It’s imperative to define what exactly a consumer ’s right to privacy is on social networks, dating sites and the internet in general. Although OkCupid’s transparency was definitely not a bad thing, it did nothing to relieve the mounting anxiety of a society over the use of data online. Until a consensus is reached about what should be done in governing online privacy, we’re all going to continue being some internet site’s lab rats.

throwing out some good ideas, but the boat is leaving and she’s still on the docks. The three candidates have a challenging few months ahead of them to convince the city that their vision of progress isn’t just smoke and mirrors. Right now, not considering fundraising, I’m giving the first round to the Resnick campaign for showing innovative ideas that can create a new

environment for business. The second round is starting soon, and Resnick needs to get another policy out the door or risk being buried by Team Soglin’s proposals, whether they are realistic or not.

The company, which has received a great deal of press including features on the CBS Morning Show and ABC 7 News, constructs an innovative perspective on what constitutes “dance,” by turning the dance floor on its side and using

Dragon knights The lineup will kick off 4 p.m. Friday, with a performance from Dragon Knights, a company that aspires to “bring the magic” by producing culturally blended street shows. The entertainers, who have trained in Europe, Asia and the United States, integrate aspects of circus,

puppetry and theater in order to create a multicultural interactive arts experience with emphasis on stilt-walking stunts and idiosyncratic puppetry. Dragon Knights will not only kick off the event, but will be doing various segments throughout the course of the two-day schedule.

vertical surfaces to execute choreographed routines. Recognized for their ability to flip, hang and fly from any surface, the dancers and acrobats will have no problem transforming the walls of the Union into their stage. If you happen to miss Bandaloop during their Friday evening performance, you can catch them on the stage numerous times throughout the course of the festival.

CALYPSO ROSE/KOBO TOWN Hailing from the islands of Trinidad and Tobago, the queen of Calypso music, Calypso Rose, will be taking the stage in cohort with fellow Trinidadian band, Kobo Town. At 74 years old, Calypso Rose still has a radiating stage presence – singing and dancing to tunes inspired by a mélange of African and French roots, which form the base of Calypso music.

Drew Gonzalves, founder and front man of Kobo Town, complements Calypso Rose’s style, with his socially and politically perceptive lyrics and his ability to play the cuatro – a small-scale, four-stringed, guitar-like instrument that is often found in Latin American music. It’s a unique opportunity to witness a true Calypso music power duo.

KORRONTZI Korrontzi, a performance group from the isolated Basque region of Spain, will also be featured at the festival. Because the trikitixa, an accordion-style instrument, serves as the foundation of the band’s music, the group’s name exemplifies that which attendees should expect to hear. The name “Korrontzi” is

actually influenced by a legendary figure from the band’s hometown, who is known to have played the trikitixa for crowds leaving church after masses. The performance will be sure to make audiences dance, as the style of music is intended to drive folk dances with an intensive beat and a bit of pop rock influence.

State Street exhibit turns duct tape into art Jason S. Yi created Madison Museum of Contemporary Art installation throughout August, allowed passersby to watch creative process by Miles Solstice ArtsEtc. Writer

Last month, museum patrons and passerby were able to watch artist Jason S. Yi turn common materials — duct tape and strips of wood — into a cavernous hollow that stands about 10 feet tall and 20 feet long and consumes the space of the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art’s State Street Gallery. Yi and his team assembled the piece titled “A Fragile Permanence” from Aug. 4 through Aug. 22 in front of anybody who cared to peer through the glass of the streetfacing gallery Those curious about the installation can visit the exhibit’s webpage for some short videos of this process, and the peoplewatchers among us will be

thoroughly amused by a much larger collection of videos that appear to be candid recordings of people on State Street reacting to (“It’s a lot bigger than I expected … ” “It looks like a tent, you know?”) and analyzing (“that show Home Improvement … but, like, with lightning. Kind of — like, yeah … I know very little about installation art”) Yi’s exhibit. The “lightning” being referred to is jagged lines of highly reflective silver tape. The metallic aesthetic brings a dose of color to an otherwise all-white sculpture. Its placement on the glass window facing State Street tells the viewer that this project was intended to be open to the public from start to finish. The “tent” mentioned is Yi’s simultaneously massive, bulky, light and breakable

sculpture is the core of “A Fragile Permanence.” Visitors will initially see a white mound with an asymmetrically and ruggedly-angled top that resembles distant mountains. Its presence is almost overwhelming and viewers feel pushed to the walls of the gallery. White strips of duct tape compose the exterior and allow viewers to easily look into the sculpture. The tape is draped over thin pieces of wood that create the precarious scaffolding that gives the exhibit its fragile quality. While a viewer might be in awe of the size of the object and the power it invokes, it is also difficult to ignore the thought that someone could reach into it, pull out one of the sticks and cause the entire thing to collapse like a game of Jenga.

Vulnerability, largeness and transparency into the artistic process culminate in “A Fragile Permanence,” which allows viewers to appreciate the exhibit for both what it is and what it is not. It is not piles of tape and sticks sitting on shelves at a hardware store or lying on the floor of somebody’s garage. It is an intricately designed project that shows what can be done with simple tools and it expands upon ideas about how artwork should be consumed by the viewer. Jason S. Yi’s “A Fragile

Permanence” will be on display at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, located at 227 State St., until Nov. 9, 2014. For more information, visit MMoCA’s website.

Five films to see at UW Cinematheque this fall Invaluable Madison movie resource continues to offer high-quality 35mm prints of classic, obscure works, now features new digital projector by Vincent Mollica ArtsEtc. Film Columnist

In a film culture that has come to embrace the massive, easy-to-access catalog that home video or streaming provides, it’s easy to forget the humble movie theater. They are rare artistic venues created to both enhance the qualities of the medium it celebrates and bring you closer to the audience around you. Whether with your family, on a date or simply taking a break from life, there is nowhere more immersive and freeing than the theater. So this coming semester, make a night of it and embrace Madison’s completely free UW Cinematheque. Here are five must-see selections from the Cinematheque, playing this semester. The French Connection (William Friedkin / 1971 / 102 minutes / 35mm) Friday, Sept. 12, at 4070 Vilas Hall What is it? On paper “The French Connection” is a conventional cops-androbbers (or in this case, international drug dealers) story, but in the hands of director William Friedkin, it’s anything but conventional.

Friedkin’s style is both kinetic — producing maybe the most famous car chase sequence ever — and bleak, painting even the most entertaining moments of the film with shades of flop sweat and cold coffee. Never clinical, “The French Connection” offers non-stop action while remaining heartbreakingly human and ambiguous in nature. Why the theater? The Cinematheque has luckily scored a 35mm print of the film, which means it will be projected on physical celluloid instead of through a digital projector. “The French Connection” is a film made for celluloid, capturing the desolate nooks and crannies of 1970s New York that should only be seen through the nicks and scratches inherent in the worn vibrancy of physical film. The Ladykillers (Alexander Mackendrick / 1955 / 97 minutes / DCP) Saturday, Sept. 27, at 4070 Vilas Hall What is it? Perhaps the best of the Ealing Studios/ Alec Guinness collaborations, “The Ladykillers” is a wonderfully ugly piece of high farce. A gang of thugs, led by Guinness, attempts to

pull off a heist at Kings Cross Station. However, the old woman they must live with finds a way to accidentally thwart them at every turn. Like all great Ealing films, it’s at once incredibly droll and deeply, deeply silly. As the film becomes crueler and more violent to its characters, it ramps up the manic energy, turning out an undeniable classic. Why the theater? Maybe the greatest argument for seeing film in theaters is that there is simply nothing greater than seeing a comedy with an audience. “The Ladykillers,” especially, boasts a variety of jokes and performances for all ages. If the film’s wild pacing doesn’t suck you in, an audience laughing in delight or groaning in amused disgust will. The Trouble with Harry (Alfred Hitchcock / 1955 / 99 minutes / 35mm) Sunday, Oct. 19, at Chazen Museum of Art What is it? Of Alfred Hitchcock’s many masterpieces, one often forgets the very good, very odd “The Trouble with Harry.” In a rare straight comedy, Hitchcock attempts to fuse the light warmth of

American romantic comedies with his own brooding sensibility. In it, a dead body is found in a small Vermont town, and its denizens must attempt to figure out who it was and, more importantly, how to get rid of it, all while sorting out the town’s many romantic entanglements. Why the theater? The film has many charms including a totally unique sense of humor and an early supporting turn by Shirley MacLaine. However, best of all is how Hitchcock presents his highly idealized version of New England in the fall. In the lushness of the film’s falling leaves, endless mountains and setting suns, “The Trouble with Harry” comes as close to capturing the essence of a season as film can, and it’s best appreciated in the allconsuming venue of a theater. Videodrome (David Cronenberg / 1983 / 90 minutes / 35mm) Thursday, Oct. 23, at Chazen Museum of Art What is it? “Videodrome” gives us a singularly prescient depiction of humanity’s relationship with the media, as well as one of the most effective uses of body horror in film. After Max Renn (James Woods) finds an unmarked

television transmission called Videodrome, he begins to experience deeply strange visions, involving physical objects around him and, even scarier, his own body. “Videodrome” may be Cronenberg’s defining moment, transcending any narrative constraints and allowing the viewers to experience a deeply visceral and highly physical descent into madness. Long live the new flesh! Why the theater? “Videodrome” is interested in how we interact with different forms of media, be it television, home media or even a movie camera. Seen in a theater, an extra layer is thus added to the experience, making you question the space we allow media to place between us and reality. “Videodrome” is a crazy person’s movie, and the best way to enjoy the film’s gonzo imagery is experiencing it with an audience of equally shocked and delighted patrons. In a theater you’re left trading silent expressions with strangers that translate to, “did you just see what I just saw?” Meet Me in St. Louis (Vincente Minnelli / 1946 / 113 minutes / 35mm) Friday, Dec. 12, at 4070

Vilas Hall What is it? Not only one of the great movie musicals but one of the great movies period, “Meet Me in St. Louis” is the story of the shifting and strengthening ties of a St. Louis family at the turn of the century. Told through vignettes and framed by the changing seasons, it’s a film that captures a whole adolescence worth of emotion into a satisfying whole. Even the hardest cynic won’t be able to hold back tears as the Smith family’s world is torn apart by circumstance then stitched, beautifully, back together. Why should you see in a theater? Previously a Marshall Field’s window dresser, director Vincente Minnelli has an unsurpassed sense of time and place in every prop and costume, finding a beautiful middle ground between rich storybook imagery and grounded period detail. Matched with Minnelli’s immaculate screen staging, the big screen is the only possible way to admire and be immersed in these features. You can learn about more series and screenings, including more films by these same directors and actors, at the Cinematheque’s website.

Construction to extend to every part of your route Madison, WI - University of Wisconsin officials announced plans to start major remodeling projects on each and every section of sidewalk, street and hallway that you personally need to get to each class. Chairman of Student Life Perry Gibson issued an official statement Wednesday, saying that an extensive part of campus will be completely uprooted and blocked off for at least the rest of semester. “We know how frustrated students get while walking on the cracked and outdated sidewalks,” Gibson said. “As a result, this project could last up until the very moment you graduate.” Gibson went on to promise that, should students try to change their schedule to create an unobstructed route, he would personally see to it

that construction would be completely rerouted to track the most convenient route. Construction site Chief Jack Delter said, in addition to this upcoming remodeling, they are also going to “remodel the remodeling on Library Mall.” “Every time we remodel it, we think it would really look better with a few slight changes,” Delter said. “Just to make sure, we have 18 separate architects for one 60-by-80 foot space.” Due to lack of funding, Gibson informed press that no construction would take place on any routes that students do not take to class, unless these routes coincide directly with the routes that are personally taken. “Unfortunately, we just don’t have enough money to block all the

paths with rigorous construction,” Gibson said. “Therefore, we are directing all the money we have towards completely walling off all your quickest and safest ways to get to class.” Construction worker Donald Hansen said he was confused by the project at first. “I thought it was odd that we were only remodeling the Van Hise hallway from the door to classroom 322,” Hansen said. “But when Perry explained it to me, it made perfect sense.” In addition to blocking off literally anywhere students were planning on walking, the construction will also provide just enough noise so that one will not be able

to hear important exam dates, project due dates and any main lecture points. University officials are asking students to be patient when dealing with

these numerous repairs, but assured that when completed, each sidewalk, hallway, bathroom and bike path will look exactly the way it did before.

UW dumps Wiscmail for new romantic flame Office 365 Following a summer apart and deep contemplation, the UW student body has finally ended its relationship with Wiscmail, and has begun a promising relationship with Office 365. Despite pleads of, “I can change” and “I can concisely and effectively organize your calendar and inbox simultaneously too,” the student body opted

for the sleek, sexy and mysterious Office 365. The new email client promises a more secure, mature and effortless relationship. “365 does things without me having to ask. With Wiscmail nothing was guaranteed and everything was a struggle. I never knew if my rom-com screenplay was emailed. It says it sent, but Tom Hanks never replied. So it

Avoid the Yips

It was recently announced that former UW starting quarterback and American Prince Joel Stave has been suffering from a case of the yips. Here’s some tips to avoid acquiring this affectation: 1. Yip, yip, yip all the way home 2. Throw salt over your shoulder while chanting yip over and over 3. Remind yourself that Yips could also stand for “Yes, I Perform Satisfactorily” 4. Avoid contact with small dogs 5. If affected, get a friend to startle you while drinking a cup of water 5. Look in the mirror and say “Russell Wilson” three times 6. Defeat the fire nation so Aang stops saying it so much 7. Stop dressing in those hippy clothes and smoking so much damn weed

Ending a long-term relationship is often an arduous process that requires time to recover, but students seems to be handling the transition process fairly well. “I love Wiscmail, I always will. We shared the most intimate secrets, like my first pet’s name and

even my mother ’s maiden name, but 365 and I were made for each other. I guess you could say it was love at first site,” senior Jackie Thompson said. However, word has it that Wiscmail still hasn’t moved on. Popular blogging sites Reddit and Tumblr leaked lewd Snapchats of its naked HTML to students. They also cited accounts of alumni stalked on

LinkedIn. A recent Madison police report revealed Wiscmail was found trying to integrate itself with high school students, claiming, “they said they were 18!” Clinginess aside, the UW campus cannot wait to start fresh. “I introduced Office 365 to my parents,” junior Tammy Martinez said. “I was nervous they wouldn’t

understand it, but in the end its professional look and easy accessibility won them over!” Chancellor Becky Blank has described the transition by saying, “I’ll always look back on Wiscmail fondly like my other exes, Hotmail and AIM. But 365 is a new window in my life, and only it will know that the password to my heart is MaliaObamaFarts.”

Student needs fucking java Sarah Ritty has just announced via Twitter that she aspires to earn eight, yes, eight free cups of coffee by the end of this academic school year. “I think I can do it,” Ritty told reporters. “Considering I drink a cup of coffee whenever I can’t even, and I literally can’t even all the effing time.” Ritty spent her first year in Madison trying out each coffee shop on State Street. Espresso Royale rose to her number one spot after the barista offered her a punch card that allowed her to get one free cup of coffee after every nine purchases.

When questioned further about exactly why she could not even so often, she said, “Well, recently my sorority recruitment process has really been stressing me out. You know it’s just as difficult for the sisters as it is for the girls rushing.” “The recruitment process is very complicated,” she said. “I think I promised not to tell anyone anything, but we need to interview each potential sister, draw a picture with them, make a craft with them, eat a meal with them, go running with them, write a song with them, write an album with

them, perform a concert with them, go skydiving with them and survive a week in a deserted area of the forest in the middle of winter with them, so yeah, it can sometimes get a little tiring. “My year isn’t looking so good either. I’m living in the house with the rest of the girls and I’m pretty sure 11 out of 28 girls on my floor secretly hate me. I can tell by the way they smile at me during meetings and pretend to be nice to me. Living in the house can also be irritating when the chef doesn’t cook food that I like. Like c’mon, it’s only no gluten, dairy,

carbs, red meat, nuts, eggs or soy− what’s so hard about that?” Sarah Ritty predicted that she “won’t be able to even” a lot this year. “At least I know that the barista at Espresso really cares about me. Going to Espresso Royale always makes me feel better and helps me deal with my inabilities.” Although the road ahead may be rough, Ritty is happy to have finally found a source of encouragement in her life. “Java is the only thing left that makes me happy and Espresso has given me the ultimate tool to succeed: their 10-hole punch card.”

of 25. Over the weekend, Morey averaged 6.27 digs per set and tallied 20 plus digs in all three matches. Those numbers were enough for her to earn her secondstraight Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week honors. Morey’s 5.88 digs per set currently leads the Big Ten. Morey became the first Badger to win backto-back Player of the Week honors. The individual accolades did not stop there for the Badgers. Senior right-side hitter Courtney Thomas’ performance from last weekend earned her Big Ten Player of the Week honors. She is the first Wisconsin player to win that award since Allison Wack did so in October 2010. Thomas is just 20 kills shy of reaching 1,000. When she does reach that mark, she will be the 15th Badger to reach that milestone. Against Colorado State, Thomas shared a team high of 12 kills with freshman Kelli Bates. Bates had 16 kills against Northern Colorado and averaged 3.09 kills per set on the weekend. Thomas also hit .397. “Going into a gym with 7,000 people and winning is definitely a confidence booster,” Thomas said. Thomas says that the thought of her playing her final home opener does not deviate from the usual game plan. “I’m just here to win,” Thomas said. “I’m not really focusing on this being my last year.” Sophomore setter Lauren Carlini was named the Big Ten Setter of the Week. It was her first time receiving the award. She averaged 11.55 assists, 3.27 digs and .91 blocks per set on the weekend. Regarding the individual awards of his players, Sheffield was

more impressed by the team’s week-to-week improvement so far this season. “[Receiving awards] means you had a pretty good weekend; they don’t give out awards to losers,” Sheffield said. “More importantly, all three of them were better in week two than they were in week one.” Wisconsin refused to let CSU’s crowd break their focus. About 7,000 fans attended the match and Sheffield estimated about 2,000 of them were students. Sheffield and his players hope Badger fans pack the UW Field House for the home opener and bring a similar intensity. “We are so excited about being back here,” Sheffield said. “We love playing at the Field House, so we’re hoping that the community, and certainly the students, get behind our team, their team, and show the same energy.” Wisconsin currently leads the nation with 16.06 kills per set and ranks eighth nationally with 13.94 assists per set. Despite the team firing on all cylinders, the thought of finally playing in front of their own fans is very welcoming. “We’re a little homesick with it,” Carlini said. “We just want to show our fans and be supported by them. I think it’s just so cool that [during the opening ceremony] all of our fans are united and we’re all in one place at one time and everyone’s so supportive and all the kids are lined up giving up high five.” The Badgers will open the weekend against Miami (Florida) Friday evening at 7:30 p.m., when the 2013 NCAA runner-up banner will be hung from the rafters prior to first serve. UW students also receive free admission to the game as well as complementary pizza and t-shirts based on a first come, first serve basis.

The win over Montana State began a stretch in which Missouri State won four of five games. The Bears beat Oral Roberts 3-1 to start the University Plaza/ Dr. Mary Jo Wynn Invitational in Springfield, Missouri. After getting swept in their next match against Western

Kentucky, they finished the tournament with two wins against the University of the Incarnate Word and UWMilwaukee. They did not lose a set in either match. After six straight set wins, the Bears went on the road to face Kansas State. Although they dropped the match in five sets, freshman Lily Johnson had 23 kills and became the fastest Bear to reach 100 kills in her career. Johnson leads the team with 3.59 kills per set. Sophomore middle blocker Simone House was named the MVC Defensive Player of the Week on Monday and will be a player to watch on the defensive side of the court.

A three-game road trip to Colorado resulted in three wins for the Wisconsin volleyball team this past weekend, and now the Badgers are coming home undefeated to begin the season. Wisconsin’s most recent road trip has pointed them in the right direction. UW faced off against Northern Colorado in the first game of the University of Northern Colorado/ Colorado State Classic. The Badgers downed the Bears in the tournament opener in four sets and Florida A&M suffered the same fate the following afternoon. The biggest test for the Badgers was ahead of them Saturday night, when they had to take on No. 13 Colorado State. It was UW’s first matchup of the season against a ranked opponent. The Badgers surgically dismissed the Rams in three straight sets (25-21, 25-23, 25-20) to pick up their third win of the weekend. “It was a really good team, it’s a team that’s got a lot of tradition, that plays the game really and that’s got a lot of experience,” head coach Kelly Sheffield said. “I thought we executed when the match was on the line. When the sets were on the line I thought we executed on a very high level.” Junior Libero Taylor Morey set the UW three set match record for digs with 26, surpassing nowgraduated Annmarie Hickey’s previous record

Men’s soccer turns new corner with young talent Departure of Big Ten Players of the Year in AJ Cochran and Tomislav Zadro forces fresh crop of underclassmen to carry bigger burden by Chris Caporale Men’s Soccer Writer

In the wake of losing 14 seniors, the University of Wisconsin men’s soccer team is raising its expectations of its underclassmen. Last season, AJ Cochran earned Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, while Tomislav Zadro was awarded Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year. However, both Cochran and Zadro have departed. In addition to those players, 12 other seniors graduated last year and left holes to be filled by much younger, and less experienced, players in 2014. Wisconsin head coach John Trask responded by playing eight of the team’s 13 freshmen in UW’s first four games, which he understands can

be a difficult way for the players to begin the season. “It’s going to take a while to replace those guys,” Trask said. “We are asking a lot out of freshmen, but having said that, we have an extremely talented freshmen class who is not only healthy defensively, but they are putting numbers on the board as well.” Wisconsin’s freshmen have scored all but one of UW’s goals so far this season, led by Mark Segbers with a teamhigh three goals. The early experience should bode well for the future of Wisconsin soccer as the team heads into Big Ten play. As the season continues, the Badgers and Trask hope the young players can come together and compete at a high level. Trask said he believes the team is in a good

place right now with the improvements he has seen since the beginning of camp, especially from his younger players. He knows that putting the younger players in early games will prepare them for future games and get them up to college speed and skill levels. Improvement on both sides of the ball has come from paying attention to details during practice. If the Badgers cannot control the minor details during practice, they will certainly not compete at the highest levels during games. Wisconsin has been trying to transfer that attention to detail from practice into their games, which has not shown strong results yet. Despite this, the team is coming together and improving at every opportunity on both the offensive and defensive ends.

As for changes to the team because of the loss of so many seniors, the Badgers’ offensive strategy has changed because of the loss of Zadro and other offensive players. “Offensively, on free kicks and corner kicks, we have to rely on timing and getting numbers in the box because the crosses aren’t going to be as perfect every time, like when Tomislav was crossing it,” redshirt junior Carl Schneider said. That’s not the only change that has to be made. With Cochran not on the defensive end, the defenders have had to work harder this season to make sure opponents have fewer opportunities for headers and scoring chances. “AJ [Cochran] was a dominant force in the air,” Trask said. “We never had to worry about a head ball dropped in our end of the

field when AJ was on the team. So that’s just going to be something that’s ongoing to get better at that by committee rather than one player.” On goal kicks, Cochran was counted on to win headers consistently and to distribute the ball to his teammates. Now that he is gone, the Badgers lack a player that can always go up and win headers, so they have placed more players around the ball in order to fight to take possession of the next ball. All aspects of the game have come down to the numbers of Badgers around the ball. If they have more players surrounding the ball, they will have a better chance of stopping teams from converting on those scoring chances. The last place where Cochran and Zadro will be missed, is their ability to lead by example through

their experience, which made it easy for the team to remain levelheaded. “AJ [Cochran] and Tomislav [Zadro] were both just really experienced,” sophomore Brian Hail said. “They played in big games before, and no matter if we went down or it was a very crucial game, they were always levelheaded. They never got too high or too low emotionally.” Trask looks to use his time with new players early on in the season to see which ones step up into leadership positions and which ones steps up as consistent, go-to players. “Younger players, such as myself, need to step up as leaders on and off the field,” Hail said. “I think it’s very important to set a culture and mature in our ways and lead the younger guys into a good season, and hopefully seasons to come.”

Behind star trio, UW sweeps away competition After strong weekend in Colorado, Badgers’ Carlini, Thomas and Morey dominate weekly individual Big Ten accolades by Elise Romas Volleyball Writer

The triple threat. This week, the Wisconsin volleyball team brought an entirely new meaning to the phrase by sweeping the Big Ten Weekly Awards amongst positions of setter, passer and hitter. Senior right side hitter, Courtney Thomas, was named Player of the Week, sophomore Lauren Carlini was honored as Setter of the Week and Taylor Morey was mentioned as the Defensive Player of the Week. With a 5-0 start to the season, it’s clear that this trio has worked hard to achieve such recognition, but not for themselves. They attribute all of their success to their teammates and coaches. “Our coaches put a ton

of effort in to get us to be the best that we can be,” Thomas said. “And I think that also [goes for] our team mates; every day we push each other to be the best.” Thomas ended Sunday’s match against Northern Colorado with 12 kills, nine digs and five block assists. On top of her .381 hitting average, Thomas is only 20 digs away from a career total of 1,000. If she accomplishes this, she will be the 15th Badger to do so. The right side hitter, who stands six feet tall, has made a big impact on the team so far this season, which does not go unnoticed by the coaching staff. “[Thomas] is just turning into a really, really big time player,” head coach Kelly Sheffield said. “She does it all for us; she’s one of the rare players that can pass, set, hit, block, dig, serve.

She’s a complete player who’s still getting better.” Another key player in setting up success for the Badgers’ offense is sophomore setter, Lauren Carlini. Carlini averages 11.41 sets per match and ranks second on the team in digs per set with 2.71. This past weekend she also contributed a seasonhigh 52 assists during Friday night’s game against Northern Colorado, a match in which Wisconsin came out on top 3-1. “I’m really working on the little things in my game,” Carlini said. “Tempo things are really important, because we’re trying a new tempo this year. We’re trying to make it faster.” The quicker offense run by Carlini seems to be running effectively and smoothly for the team so far this season, especially

with the progress Carlini has made in her sophomore season. “She’s trying to get a feel for the tempo that we’re trying to run,” Sheffield said. “So that’s her and the hitters and I think that they’re having a little bit more success figuring that out.” Receiving a repeated recognition as Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week is the new starting Libero Taylor Morey. This is Morey’s second week in a row being rewarded with such honors. After Wisconsin said goodbye to last year ’s senior Annemarie Hickey, who is now the Student Assistant Coach for UW, Morey has stepped up to make an impact for the team’s defense. She had a career high of 26 digs against Colorado

State on Sunday and she also leads the team in digs, averaging 5.88 per set. “[Morey]’s getting after it and that’s who she is,” Sheffield said. “She’s a very strong defensive player, and we’re trying to get her to communicate a little bit and serve a little more aggressively and help the ball control to be steady. But she’s been real solid the first couple weeks. “ Practice seems to be Morey’s secret. As head coach Sheffield discussed the strength of his defense post-practice Tuesday and all the other players collected their things, Morey remained on a court nearby, perfecting the craft of her serve. “Coming to the gym and getting better and expecting better every time is important,” Morey said. The determination and

work ethic showcased by Morey is an attitude evident throughout the team. Everyone seems aware of the season’s lofty goals, while maintaing their focus on the present. “It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon,” Carlini said. “So there are going to be bumps in the road, but we are going to find ways to overcome them and still get to the top at the end.” The forth-ranked and undefeated Badgers (5-0) have their work cut out for them for the remainder of the season as they stare down a Big Ten Conference title and hope to make a returning trip to the national championship. But with a group of three players like Thomas, Carlini and Morey, UW has a strong foundation laid for the present and the rest of the season to come.

Badgers welcome Rutgers Friday After a 1-3-0 start, UW looks to get back on track against Big Ten newcomer by Nick Brazzoni Men’s Soccer Writer

After a rough weekend in Washington D.C., the Wisconsin men’s soccer team will have a chance to start out the conference season on the right foot Friday. Following a pair of losses against George Mason and Georgetown, the Badgers begin their Big Ten slate with a nationally televised Big Ten home opener against one of the conference’s newest members, Rutgers. While UW (1-3-0) had their struggles as a team over the weekend, there were some bright spots. One of those was freshman forward Mark Segbers, who already scored his third goal of the season, coming against George Mason last Friday. Despite Segbers being a true freshman, he has wasted no time gelling with the team and becoming a focal point of the Badgers’ offensive attack. He will play a big role in the team’s rebound from their 1-3 start to the season, starting with Rutgers on Friday. “[Segbers] is special,” Wisconsin head coach John Trask said. “He’s got great physical abilities and has also shown to be very good in front of the goal. He doesn’t just have three goals, but he also created a penalty kick against Georgetown. Mark is an exceptional talent and we are still fitting him into where we will play him within the team, but he’s going to have one heck of a career here.” Through the first four matches of the season,

Segbers leads the team in goals (3) and shots on goal (5), despite only starting one game. On the other side of the field, the Scarlet Knights (2-2-0) happen to have a fantastic freshman of their own. Freshman forward Jason Wright, who has played for various Jamaican national teams, has been off to a hot start that rivals the performance of Segbers. Through the team’s first four games, Wright has been responsible for all four of the team’s goals, scoring three of them and assisting on the other. Trask and the rest of the Badgers understand how gifted the young Rutgers’ Jamaican is, but they’re also up for the challenge. “We’ve been just starting to watch some tape on [Wright] and he is obviously very gifted,” Trask said. “When you score four goals for the U-17 and U-20 Jamaican national team, you’ve got gifts. I’m sure he is going to be a handful, but I know our defenders are looking forward to playing against the best. We always do. It should be a great matchup.” This will be the first Big Ten match for Rutgers after switching over from the Big East this summer. Rutgers, who is on a twogame losing skid of their own, is as unfamiliar an opponent as ever for this Wisconsin team. In fact, junior midfielder Drew Conner had not even seen them play until this week. Nevertheless, this Badger team, most notably the backline led by senior defender David Caban, will be ready for whatever Rutgers brings offensively.

“Offensively, they’re pretty dynamic,” Caban said. “It’s going to be their first Big Ten game as a school overall, so that’ll be pretty tough. We have to come out organized, as they are definitely going to come out excited. Everyone wants to win their first Big Ten game because you always want to start off on the front foot, rather than chasing.” Despite the team’s confidence going into Friday’s match, UW does have some question marks of their own to deal with before they take the pitch against the Scarlet Knights. At halftime of Sunday’s match against national powerhouse Georgetown, Trask and his staff made the executive decision to switch out starting freshmen goalkeeper Adrian Remeniuk with redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Casey Beyers after Remeniuk gave up three first half goals. Beyers only gave up a single goal to the Hoyas in the second half of the match. As of now, Trask and his staff have not made a decision as to who will start Friday’s match, despite the fact that Remeniuk has started each of Wisconsin’s first four regular season games this year. Trask said they will take the week’s remaining few practices to evaluate and it will ultimately be a “game day decision.” Despite the unknown of who will be in goal come Friday, Caban doesn’t believe it will matter in the end. He and the other members of the backline will be comfortable no matter who is in front of the net.

“I don’t think the transition [between goalkeepers] is that difficult because the goalies are trained very well by coach Ian [Sarachan] so it’s all pretty consistent,” Caban said. “Obviously each goalie has their own way of doing things; they communicate differently, they play balls differently. But all in all, we are pretty well-adjusted to our keepers so it really isn’t that difficult to adjust to.” With Friday’s game scheduled to be shown on the Big Ten Network, playing on the national stage can add loads of pressure to a team, especially a young group like Wisconsin’s. Drew Conner, who is also one of the team’s three captains, will make sure that he and the young guys on the team will be focused to play how they always do once they’re under the lights. He doesn’t believe the team will have a problem treating it like any other game. “I’ve played in four or five Big Ten Network games now, so it gets to the point where you kind of forget that the cameras are on and you just play your game,” Conner said. “If you focus too much on that, you either start trying to do too much or try and hide. I’m going to give some of the younger guys advice to just stay cool, forget about the cameras, and just focus on playing good defense and doing what comes natural offensively.” The Badgers will take on the Scarlet Knights at McClimon Soccer Complex Friday at 7 p.m. on the Big Ten Network.

Senior forwards kick-start offense into high gear by Jamie Degraff Women’s Soccer Writer

It’s a Sunday afternoon home game against Northern Iowa and play has just gotten under way for the Wisconsin women’s soccer team. Seven minutes into the match, redshirt senior forward Kodee Williams burns the defense up the right side and delivers a perfectly timed cross, slicing through the defense and connecting with fellow senior forward Cara Walls who promptly knocks it in for the upper-ninety goal. It’s the kind of chemistry that takes years to perfect. Whether it’s on the practice field, in the conditioning room or during games, UW head coach Paula Wilkins has watched her star strikers grow from the inexperienced freshman first stepping onto the pitch, to award-winning captains of the No. 9 team in the

nation. “I think they complement each other, both as people and as players,” Wilkins said. “Kodee’s a little bit more fiery, a little bit more aggressive, while Cara’s a little bit more calm and steady. Not to discredit Kodee at all, it’s a compliment because if they were both similar, it would be kind of boring. I think they add a different dimension together so one’s steady and one’s kind of aggressive.” Having been dealt her fair share of adversity over the years, perhaps the fire and passion Williams brings to the field on a daily basis has been the key factor in getting over the obstacles she has faced. After a promising start to her UW campaign, which included 17 starts, four goals and four assists as a freshman, a devastating ACL injury the following off-season put her career in jeopardy.

Although she had to watch from the sideline for the season and start back at square one physically, Williams wasn’t going to let one setback ruin her career after years of hard work to get to where she had been. After months of grueling physical therapy and strength training in the 2011-12 off-season, she had finally made it back off the bench the following season. It was a comeback that would earn her the UW Unsung Hero award and inspire the program as a whole. Whether it was during her recovery period or now, at the peak of her performance, Williams has always been able to count on Wilkins to keep the game engaging for her and the whole team as well. “I think Paula does a great job of changing things up for us at practice and during games,” Williams said. “In the offseason,

she really keeps things interesting to keep us interested in soccer and I think that she has also made some awesome changes as a coach that have been passed down to us in terms of our communication styles. What she tells us, how she’s telling it to us, and that’s just really fueled the team I think.” As for Cara Walls, consistency has defined her career thus far. Before she ever took a step on the field for the Badgers, she had already staked her claim as a top national prospect following her performance for the FC U-18 Milwaukee club team, leading her squad to the national championship. Her career as a Badger has been more of the same kind of success. UW’s offensive player of the year in 2012, Second-Team All Big Ten in 2013, and a No. 88 ranking in the 100 Best Women’s College Soccer Players by

Top Drawer Soccer are just a few of her highlights so far at the Division 1 level for the Badgers. With seven goals already in the team’s six games this season, it’s hard for anyone to really gauge her full potential. Sophomore midfielder Rose Lavelle, who has contributed as the team’s top 2014 setup player with five assists, said both Walls and Williams “lead by example” both on and off the field. “They work really hard and have very good work ethic which makes us want to work hard too,” Lavelle said. “Off the field, they’re just great people, they get the team together which is great for our team chemistry.” The accomplishments of her teammates should not be discounted by any means either. In just over a year, Lavelle has collected a series of individual accolades, including 2013 Big Ten

Freshman of the year, 2013 All-First Team Big Ten and a selection to Soccer America’s preseason All-American Team. Junior midfielder Kinley McNicoll was just named the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week, as well as the Division I Player of the Week by Top Drawer Soccer Sept. 9 following her dominating two-goal, two-assist performance on the West Coast this past weekend. Looking ahead, the biggest test for the Badgers’ offense will come this weekend with Big Ten play opening up on Friday against undefeated Michigan State before concluding the weekend on Sunday at Michigan (4-2-0). As the Badgers try to continue their hot start through Big Ten play, both Walls and Williams will have to continue their chemistry that produced that early goal against Northern Iowa.
