Game plan: Officials watch skies for drones over Camp Randall Fly-overs not allowed during Badger games; UWPD and Athletic Department ready to react to possible threats from above

Photo · Having a drone response plan isn’t mandatory, but a spook from an unmanned vessel during a home game last year prompted law enforcement officials to revisit their protocols.

by Gerald Porter Campus Editor

In case of a drone, the University of Wisconsin Athletic Department’s plan is simple: keep an eye on the sky. According to a Federal Aviation Administration-issued alert, a no-fly zone is in effect when there are NCAA Division I football games in stadiums with capacities of 30,000 or more patrons. UW Police Department Special Events Lieutenant Mark Silbernagel said the FAA provides guidance to law enforcement, but a response plan for a drone is not mandatory. Last fall, a drone flew over Camp Randall during a home football game — spooking players and event staff — and prompted UWPD and the UW Athletic Department to revisit their protocol for future events. If a drone is spotted, Assistant Athletic Director for Event Operations Todd Nelson said all staff is trained to be on the lookout

Aaron Hathaway The Badger Herald for an operator as they are often in a flying drone’s line of sight. Nelson said there are many options when responding to a drone, but the biggest priority is getting it down. “We’ve always had safety and security plans in place for all special events on campus,” Silbernagel said. “But certainly with home UW football games, the fans’ safety is our number one concern. So we try to think of anything that could happen and have plans for those things.” The threats drones pose vary. In the vein of prank videos circulating YouTube, some operators dress drones in costumes or hang signs from them. But some can have cameras that violate NCAA and university policies, or worse, weapons or other harmful objects mounted to them. But a drone’s weakness in battery life can assist UWPD and university staff while the response plan is in effect. If a drone’s battery

is close to dying, Nelson said, this may lead the operator to land the device in an accessible area, allowing UWPD to follow the drone’s descent. But if the battery is dying, it also means the drone could fall out of the sky into the crowded stadium, he said. “If that drone starts to come down in the stadium property or too low, we have the ability to talk to the referee working the game to let them know we’re keeping an eye on the situation,” Nelson said. “We also have the ability to ask the referee to stop the game and move the teams to the sideline. If the drone were to land, we have the ability to clear the field.” Earlier this month, a drone crash landed in stands during a U.S. Open match, potentially distracting players and exacerbating national debate over what level of drone-use should be allowed during large events. Silbernagel said UWPD tries to work on a prevention first basis, but if a drone is already

in flight, the next step is to bring the device down as quickly as possible to determine the operator ’s intent. After that, any and all investigations occur simultaneously or in conjunction with the federal investigation by the FAA and through the university’s partnerships with the U.S. attorney’s office. Among other Big Ten universities, Silbernagel said Ohio State and Michigan State have “robust” policies in place for drones. He also said UWPD contacts peer institutions and looks at different practices when it comes to UWPD exploring ways to best guarantee safety and an uninterrupted experience for fans. “Our primary responsibility — and one that we take extremely seriously — on game day is the safety and security of everyone at that event,” Silbernagel said. “With that, it speaks to our planning and dedication in the amount of resources we put towards making the event go well.”

Car-sharing bill would open doors for Madisonians without automobiles Legislation could usher in new mode of transportation by allowing companies to let patrons drive, park without designated lots by Kiyoko Reidy City Editor

Car-sharing in Wisconsin cities could allow a single car to perform the job of five cars daily. Recently introduced legislation would give more control to local governments regarding car-sharing, and open up the potential for new car-sharing businesses in Madison. Previous car-sharing models in Madison, like Zipcar, involved picking up a car from a designated parking space, using it and then returning it to the same designated space. If the proposed legislation passes, it would allow for more versatile models where users could simply park the car in street parking at their destination, William Putnam, a parking engineer for Madison’s Department of Transportation, said. Rep. Tyler August, R-Lake Geneva, introduced the bill that would give local governments the ability to lease out short-term parking spots to carsharing companies to be used for longer periods of time. This type of agreement is currently illegal under Wisconsin law, August said. “So if there’s two hour parking on Mifflin Street, local government cannot currently go to a company or an individual and say it’s two hour parking here, but for you in this spot, we will allow you to be there for 24 hours,” August said. The bill would allow local governments to enter into negotiations for these agreements, but doesn’t pressure communities that decide these types of agreements wouldn’t be beneficial for the area, August said. A wide range of transportation options, especially in more urban environments, makes it more likely that everyone will be able to find an option that works for them, August said. Additionally, people tend to choose alternative transportation options, such as biking, busing or walking, if they know that they have a car available to them should they need it, Putnam said. “I think this is just an example of state law standing in the way of innovation within the transportation marketplace,” August said. Currently, there are several areas of the isthmus where more than one parking permit is sold for every available parking space, Putnam said. The proposed car-sharing bill would

allow residents, especially students, to not bring their cars to Madison, Putnam said. In a city that has a shortage of residential permitted parking downtown, this could help to alleviate some of the stress, he said. “Car-sharing vehicles would make much better use of the on-street spaces — one car share vehicle may be used seven to 10 times a day by different people,” Putnam said. “That one car is serving the same role that 10 privately owned vehicles would serve otherwise.” Although state-wide legislation was passed last spring governing ride-share companies like Uber and Lyft, Madison has a history of passing anti-ride-share legislation. August, also the author of last spring’s ride-share bill, doesn’t believe this legislation will be nearly as controversial. Car-sharing companies will provide insurance for the vehicles, helping ensure

Photo · The new rules would let people leave cars in the street at their destination, a leap from models like Zipcar, which have been legal in Madison for years. Marissa Haegele The Badger Herald that each driver will be taken care of while on the road, August said. The specifics of any agreements between local governments and carsharing companies, such as the location of the shared cars and the length of time allotted within the parking space, will be determined entirely by the local governments, August said. This freedom will help prevent any of the tensions that arose over the ride-share legislation. With various complicated parking situations, such as peak hour lanes and alternate side parking in the winter,

Madison requires ordinances specifically tailored to the city, Putnam said. Allowing local governments to create their own ordinances for car-sharing will help make sure it is as effective as possible, he said. Putnam said Madison’s Department of Transportation is excited to see whether this bill, if passed, can address some of the parking challenges on the isthmus. “We’re excited to see this moving forward. It really has the potential for allowing more development in the downtown [area] and more transportation choices,” Putnam said.

UWPD cracks down on drinking during first weeks of school year

Underage partyers face tougher policing practices for their first 45 days in Madison; officers say this is critical period for college safety by Gerald Porter Campus Editor

fine upward of $450 is possible. But while students could face legal or academic consequences for their drinking choices, the goals of the initiative echo that it’s not about enforcement, said Newton. Dean of Students Lori Berquam said that the Division of Student Life offices will be engaging with students about responsibility when drinking, but if alcohol is something that a student wants to do, there’s a smart way to do it. Berquam said students can be involved in drinking initiatives year-round. Badgers Step Up! offers students the chance to receive leadership and bystander intervention training, while the Red Cup campaign reminds students to alternate between alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks, Berquam said. “I want Badgers to look out for each other and not be a bystander if someone’s in trouble, and to recognize the experience at Wisconsin is much more than drinking.” Berquam said. UHS Community Health Specialist Reonda Washington, also said this initiative isn’t meant to get students in trouble, but rather is just another initiative to make sure students are safe

In its second year, University of Wisconsin’s “first forty-five days” initiative is back and will be continuing its efforts to reduce high-risk drinking. UW Police Department Captain Michael Newton said the first forty-five days of the year are when the most problematic drinking behaviors begin and escalate. So the overall goal of the initiative is to find ways to reduce highrisk drinking in order to better the outcomes and experiences of students, Newton said. The initiative began August 27th and will be in affect until October 17th. In 2013 prior to the first forty-five days, Newton said UWPD wrote 285 underage alcohol citations. In 2014, the initiative’s first year, UWPD wrote 419 underage alcohol citations. “We have a three-pronged approach with the initiative. It’s not just about enforcement,” Newton said. “It’s also about educating, engaging and having a conversation about the things that we see and want to protect people from.” Also including University Health Services, University Housing and the Division of Student Life, the initiative will have a collaborative approach with students so they have the opportunity to offer suggestions and ideas, Newton said. For example, UWPD regularly schedules sessions with students in university residence halls to create a dialogue, Newton said. Newton said pre-gaming and its impact plays a bigger role in the drinking behaviors on campus than students may think.

UW life coaching certificate helps students help others

Graduates learn to assist clients in a wide variety of fields; despite work load, facilitators say process is a ‘truly amazing’ experience

Life coaching certificates offer University of Wisconsin alumni and graduate students a chance to help others achieve success and discover their passions. Over the years, life coaching has become an increasingly popular trend for not just businesses and organizations, but for nonprofits and other professionals seeking to better their job performance and communication skills. Until a few years ago, only for-profit organizations offered the opportunity to become a life coach in the Midwest. Then UW “jumped in” and created a program that would allow graduate students to earn a certificate in an academic based program, Darcy Luoma, lead instructor of the Professional Life Coaching Certificate program said. The Professional Life Coaching Certificate program, or PLCC, extends the chance for people of all ages with a bachelor’s degree to continue their studies in something that is not only beneficial and rewarding for themselves, but to others as well, Luoma said. “A life coach is someone who really helps clients identify what they want in life and what will make them happy or more successful,” Luoma said “By helping them build an action plan, you can help them determine what will allow them to be happier or more successful in fulfilling their purpose in life.” Typically, life coaching has been generally used in the business world, Luoma said. Businesses have seen the real benefit of hiring a coach for their employees as they learn to develop stronger communication skills and better deal with conflicts.

By investing in their employees, businesses benefit by their employee’s higher efficiency and new strategic mind sets, Luoma said. But life coaching isn’t limited to businesses, and people in a variety of fields trying to become more effective leaders, managers and employees come to the program as well, Aphra Mednick, program manager for PLCC, said. Mednick said life coaching transcends industry roles. “Whether you are someone working with a large fortune 500 company, working with someone who is launching their own career or people just working in a variety of fields, these skills are helpful just in how people communicate with clients and employees,” Mednick said. Additionally, Mednick said PLCC offers graduates the chance to earn a certificate through a program that is aligned with the International Coaching Federation, or ICF. ICF recognizes PLCC as a credible coaching program, an important aspect as many businesses only hire ICF qualified people. Though PLCC is currently offered as a non academic course, it allows graduates to access the university without having to take four credit classes, Mednick said. Yet with about 140 hours of instruction time, graduates will be too busy with a rigorous course load to perhaps consider taking additional classes, Mednick said. Luoma said despite the workload to earn a certificate, being a life coach is a really rewarding experience. “As a certificate part of continuing of studies, we are very much about outreach to the community and to the state,” Medick said. “We are very much about bringing special developmental opportunities to people who live here and people who live across our borders as well.”

School of Education grapples with public school teacher decline

Some educators say problem is due to insufficient incentives, support for teachers, but department says it’s doing what it can to fill in blanks by Xiani Zhong Contributor

University of Wisconsin’s School of Education is stepping in to reverse ballooning student-teacher ratio and a steep decline of educators in the state. According to a Wisconsin Budget Project report, nearly 3,000 public school teachers left their jobs within the past nine years in the state. Meanwhile, student recruitment continues to rise, resulting in a student-toteacher ratio that is growing faster than the national average, said Tamarine Cornelius, an analyst at the Wisconsin Budget Project. More students per teacher can result in crowded classrooms, less individualized attention and lower quality of education, according to the report. Some educators at UW are worried about the potential impact the decline of teachers has on higher education. Peter Goff, assistant professor in UW’s educational leadership and policy analysis department, shared his concern that future teachers would be discouraged by the current trend. “People who are anticipating careers in education are now changing their

mind[s],” Goff said. “That has an impact on the quality of teachers that will be joining the classroom in subsequent years.”

“ Teachers are more likely to

stay in schools where they feel like their work is being supported.” Diana Hess, dean of UW’s Department of Curriculum and Instruction

A practical reason teachers are leaving classrooms is the long-term decline in school spending. The report shows in 2005, Wisconsin’s schools ranked at 13 for most spending in the nation. But by 2013, its rank dropped to 21. Wisconsin public schools also lack experienced teachers, which contributes to

a decline in retention. Teaching staff with more than 15 years of experience declined by almost 20 percent between 2004 and 2013, according to the report. Diana Hess, dean of UW’s Department of Curriculum and Instruction said the problem is not the state hiring inexperienced teachers, but the churn of teaching staff with few years of experience in the system. Many people are not staying in the teaching profession long enough to be skilled at it, she said, because they feel they lack proper incentives. Therefore, educators suggest the state focus on making teaching an attractive and rewarding profession again. “Teachers are more likely to stay in schools where they feel like their work is being supported,” Hess said. “Part of the solution to this problem has to do with making sure that we get really strong principals and other leaders in schools.” To help mitigate the loss of quality teachers, UW’s School of Education is launching a program to help students earn a one-year teaching certificate after graduation. Hess said fewer people enter Bachelor of Arts’ programs for teaching in

their undergraduate years, but the number of graduate students that go into teaching remains steady. The new program aims to help students who only decide to focus on teaching later in their undergraduate years quickly join the profession. Hess also pointed out efforts the School of Education makes to support teachers already in classrooms, including professional development programs. She said the school created a new program for teachers who are in their first years with Madison Metropolitan School District, designed to make those teachers want to keep teaching. Beyond cultivating teachers, the UW School of Education is also joining forces with a national movement to establish better evaluation systems for teachers and principals, said Bradley Carl, a researcher at Wisconsin Center for Education Research. “I know schools of [education], including here at UW, are making [a] concerted effort to have teachers be better prepared than they were in the past,” Carl said.

Regents discuss fetal tissue bill, potential effects on future research

President Millner said it was more important to encourage efforts reviewing ethical standards than pressure legislators with opposing resolution by Xiani Zhong Contributor

Officials passionately defended University of Wisconsin System research, despite legislative attempts to ban the sale of human organs and fetal body parts on which many UW labs rely. The UW System Board of Regents gathered at UW-Whitewater for their September meeting to discuss critical topics such as fetal tissue research, tenure and UW Colleges’ postbudget reorganization. The board expressed their disappointment by the absence of any amendments in an Assembly bill which limits fetal tissue research, but Regents President Regina Millner said she believes a resolution to oppose the bill before the Senate takes action is “untimely.” “Instead of opposing [the bill] in a resolution today, we should encourage efforts to review our ethical standards to confirm that they are in fact the highest ethical standards, and the most stringent processes in the

country for the acquisition and use of fetal body parts,” Millner said. UW-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank gave an impassioned speech at the meeting. Blank stressed the importance of research at UW-Madison and addressed how its academic strength and reputation will be impacted should the bill become law. “We attract a large number of people because of the breadth and scope of our research, [people] who come here because they want to be part of those teams,” Blank said. “If a significant component of those teams disappear from the university, others will choose not to be here as well.” Blank also discussed the importance of adhering to ethical standards of research. UW is a flagship campus of biomedical research, and scientists at the university do interdisciplinary work that, according to Blank, “truly characterizes the strength and the reputation of the University of Wisconsin.” Blank said this reputation is maintained by following strong ethical codes in the process of research.

“We are very adamant at the University of Wisconsin about following those regulations, following those laws and in fact we go beyond the requirements in federal law regulation, conducting additional internal oversight of the research that we do on campus involving fetal tissue,” she said. But anti-abortion advocates have spoken out in support of bans on fetal tissue research. Pro-Life Wisconsin legislative director Matt Sande said in a statement his group fully supports the bill, without amendments. “The preborn aborted child did not consent to his or her abortion, and certainly did not consent to his or her experimentation,” Sande said. The matter of research proved to be a deeply personal and emotional issue that caused many regents to relate to their own experiences, including Regent Janice Mueller, who was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. Mueller shared her deep concern about cancer patients and her belief that research cures diseases. The regents also discussed how to cope

in the wake of a $250 million slash to state funding — the largest in recent history — that goes into place this academic year. UW System President Ray Cross said the system is working with legislators to make sure UW schools have the support they need. Cross said the system is still working on pieces that didn’t get into the budget, including possible legislation that would enable Wisconsin to enter into a federallyrecognized Midwestern state authorization reciprocity program. To deal with the blow of the cuts, the UW System is also taking more in-depth looks into information technology, human resources and procurement budgeting. Cross said there might be consolidation, centralization and distribution of responsibilities to save more money for the schools. “Ultimately we are trying to focus more on outputs rather than inputs,” Cross said. “Rather than telling campuses how to do something, our goal is to say these are the output expectations and agree with them on that, and focus on the outputs.”

UW imaging technology explores lunar caves, features from earth Researchers developed way to reflect light to understand areas where rovers, typical technology cannot reach by Anne Blackbourn Campus Editor

Imaging technology developed at the Morgridge Institute for research may allow exploration of possible caves on the moon. The idea that there’s an underground cave network on the moon comes from the belief the moon once had volcanic lava that formed lava tubes. At some point, the ceiling of these tubes may have collapsed, creating an underground cave system, Andreas Velten, a Morgridge medical engineering affiliate and scientist with Laboratory for Optical and Computational Instrumentation, said. But to see if these underground caves truly exist, traditional moon research technology, like rovers, can’t be used because the entrances to these caves may be blocked. In order to determine if there is an underground cave system, a specially developed imaging technology that can “see around corners” may be used, Velten said. This technology, which was developed in the lab, uses a camera that sends a pulse of light onto a visible surface. The light then reflects towards a part of the image that can’t be seen, in order to produce an image of that part of the wall, like an echo of light, Velten said. “We are trying to compute back what the light has interacted with when it entered a scene, and then we try to reconstruct images of these past interactions,” Velten said. This technology is now being used not only to see around corners, but to explore the possibility of viewing caves on the moon, he said. The NASA PERISCOPE project is using imaging technology developed in the Morgridge Lab to create simulations of a satellite that would potentially fly 5 kilometers from the moon, while sending a very powerful laser pulse into the moon to see if the pulse is reflected back, Velten said. The time it takes the laser to reflect back may determine if there is a wall where the moon caves are, Velten said. “We can use information to scan the entire surface of the moon in order to get hidden images of the inside of the caves so we can do some further analysis” he said. The information the camera would gather could help determine the moon’s geology and formation, without having 10 • badgerherald.com • September 15, 2015

Joey Reuteman The Badger Herald to dig into it. This information could also be used to determine whether a moon base could be built in the caves to protect humans from the severe temperatures and radioactive atmosphere, Velten said. Jessica Zeman was an intern on Velten’s team in the beginning of the imaging project for NASA and is now a graduate of the University of Wisconsin. Before graduating in December of last

year, Zeman contributed to the project in a variety of areas. Prior to the project, Zeman had little experience in programming or computational optics. She said the experience of being involved in the early stages of a project like this was “truly amazing.” “This field of research is still relatively new, with only a few groups in the world

actively working in it,” Zeman said. “I think it will be really interesting to see where this technology goes in the future.” Velten said potential uses of the imaging technology include finding out what floor of burning buildings people are on, observing disasters from planes to determine their cause and using the lasers while driving to determine if there is oncoming traffic.

The neighborhood co-op project has been in progress for about five years, Reynolds said. “People want to have a grocery store that hires people in the community, that is owned by people in the community — there’s a powerful message in ownership,” Reynolds said. The next steps for the Allied Drive co-op include further community organization and a finalized business plan, Reynolds said. But creating a start-up co-operative is never an easy feat, Reynolds said. UW Center and the Willy Street Co-op, as well as the large number of successful co-ops in Madison, has created an enthusiastic group of people who see potential in the challenging Allied Drive project, she said. Madison has about 80 co-operatives, including credit unions, agricultural co-ops, housing co-ops and grocery co-ops, Reynolds said. The last several years has seen an increase in the number of co-ops starting up annually, Brendon Smith, Willy Street Co-op spokesperson, said. And the last few years have given co-ops so much international attention the United Nations even named 2012 the International Year of the Co-op, Smith said. The UW Center for Cooperatives is a resource for co-ops in the Madison area, and has contributed to many of the successful current and up-andcoming co-ops. It is the largest campus-based center for co-operatives nationally, Reynolds said. She said the center is unique in that it works with co-ops of all sizes, types and economic standing. The center regularly publishes research, teaches a graduate level class and works with local groups that either have a currently operating co-op or would like to start a new one, Reynolds said. Co-ops tend to grow in areas where the community has a need that is not being met, Smith said. These needs can range from 12 • badgerherald.com • September 15, 2015

child care to groceries to housing — regardless of the issue, the development of a co-operative is not an option to be ignored, he said. “Whatever the community isn’t getting, that’s a great place for a co-op,” Smith said. “It’s people banding together and pooling their resources to get what they need.” Madison has faced an ongoing issue with food deserts — areas where healthy food is unavailable to residents — within the city, Smith said. Willy Street Co-op has received many comments over the years about other areas of the city needing a reliable, healthy food option like a co-op, he said. Co-ops offer many benefits to the community, some of which are crucial in areas where food scarcity is an issue, Reynolds said. Cooperative grocery stores are less likely to move during times of economic hardship, are responsive to community needs and provide stability to areas they serve, she said. For the next fiscal year, the city budget includes money dedicated to co-op development in the hope it will help to decrease disparities in the Madison area by creating more living-wage jobs, Reynolds said. “The Madison Co-op Business initiative will allow us to work with even more partners to increase the capacity of groups who are looking to start a new co-operative business,” Reynolds said. “We’re very excited about it.”

Hookah’s harrowing history on isthmus 2004 anti-indoor smoking law prevents lounges downtown — but several places have found loopholes to provide shisha by Frankie Hermanek ArtsEtc. Staff Writer

Whether watching Drake in his “Started from the Bottom” video or simply strolling down State Street on a weeknight, hookah — with its elegant instruments producing fruit-scented clouds — seems like an increasingly favored commodity among millennials. But despite hookah’s rising popularity, and the several downtown smoke shops like Azara, Madison boasts almost no lounges. In fact many potential customers call Azara looking for hookah lounge prices and amenities, not realizing their Madison location only sells the accessories, employee Karla Rivera said. “I just tell them that we’re not an actual hookah lounge, we’re just a shop,” Rivera said. “It’s confusing because it says we’re a hookah lounge online, but we’re not.” In response to obvious demand, Azara has made past attempts to seize this business opportunity. “We did [try to open a lounge],” Rivera said. “But, it got denied because of the ordinance.” The ordinance is actually a statewide, anti-indoor smoking law that was implemented in 2004, Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said. It aims to prevent the negative health effects of smoking tobacco, he said. Since most hookah lounges fall under the law, they have since been prohibited. But, thanks to some loopholes, a few businesses have been making do. For example, Palmyra Mediterranean Grill — a popular State Street restaurant — began serving hookah to patrons about three weeks ago.

“We wanted to bring our Lebanese culture with Mediterranean food, hookahs and belly dancing [to Madison].” Tommy Hanna (co-owner of Mediterranean Hookah) Palmyra serves hookah to patrons on their sidewalk patio, working around the ordinance.

“People just kept on asking [for hookah] and we kept on promising we were going to make plans to do it,” owner Abdul Lababidi said. Another institution found a loophole as well; Mediterranean Hookah Lounge and Café on the west side offers the sweet smoke as one of their primary services. Owner and co-founder Tommy Hanna and his brother have owned the restaurant for 21 years, but didn’t add the hookah element until 2007. “We wanted to bring our Lebanese culture with Mediterranean food, hookahs and belly dancing [to Madison],” Hanna said. As for selling hookah to patrons despite the state tobacco law, Hanna said the café was a pre-existing business prior to the smoking ban. This is similar to the reason why old cigar lounges still exist in Madison, Verveer said.

Photo · According to a 2013 National Institute of Health study, one in five college students reported smoking hookah . Marissa Haegele The Badger Herald “Statewide, if you’re a cigar bar that was in existence when the state statute was adopted, then you can be open as long as you want,” he said. And it may not just be the loopholes that attract hookah users, but the indoor smoking ban’s inability to prevent tobacco use in the first place. Thus far such anti-tobacco policies, while limiting standard cigarette smoking, haven’t prevented tobacco consumption among teens and young adults in other forms, namely hookah and vapes. According to a study conducted by the National Institute of Health, in 2013 one in five college students reported smoking

hookah. The study also claims that this may be due to students believing smoking from a “water-pipe” diminishes tobacco’s negative effects. Indeed, the hookah scene has the undeniable potential to flourish in Madison. Considering the frequent requests among Azara’s customers, the response to similar requests on behalf of Palmyra and Mediterranean Hookah Lounge and Café’s success, it would appear that the isthmus should have minty smoke always obscuring the Capitol building. But, unless the ordinance is lifted, hookah lovers will have to continue enjoying their loopholes and personal accessories. September 15, 2015 • badgerherald.com • 13

What’s On Tap: IPA STYLE GUIDE

by Bryan Kristensen What’s On Tap Columnist

The number of craft beer styles is seemingly endless: Maibocks, Stouts and Porters — the list goes on. To help readers jump into this world of indie beer, we’ve compiled a style guide to help you wet your whistle. For our first style guide, we’ve broken down an increasingly popular style in recent years: India Pale Ale (IPA), so named because of its popularity with British troops stationed in India.

While all IPA styles feature a high level of hops — their distinguishing feature — their nuances are still wide-ranging. Here are some of the most popular variants to try in Madison.

American IPA

American hops are the distinguishing factor of American style India Pale Ales. Usually featuring an herbal or citrusy flavor with a relatively light malt body, they can come in colors ranging from light golden hues to red amber. Recommended: Fantasy Factory (Karben4Brewing, Madison)

English IPA

English Style India Pale Ales, in contrast to their American counterparts, feature English hops, characterized by floral and earthy flavors. They feature a more balanced taste between the hops and malt flavors, and the color is usually a hue of gold. Recommended: East India IPA (Brooklyn Brewery, Brooklyn, NY)

Imperial IPA

Imperial, or Double, India Pale Ales feature a bold hop flavor and bitterness that’s quite stronger than the previous varieties. Imperials also feature higher

alcohol by volume, sometimes as high as 10.5 percent. Recommended: Imperial IPA (KelSo Beer Co, Brooklyn, NY)

Black IPA

Black India Pale Ales, also known as American Black Ales, are known to be dark brown or pure black from the use of dark malts, which give the beer a roasted malt flavor. Black IPAs still feature a high level of hops, differentiating themselves from other IPA varieties with this unique combination. Recommended: Black Top (New Glarus Brewing Company, New Glarus)

New bistro Graft defies cocktail conventions Renowned mixologist Scott Anderson fuses experimental mixed drinks — like personal favorite The Last Word — with small plate cuisine by Meghan Horvath ArtsEtc. Food Columnist

Boosting Madison’s already impressive culinary scene with its skilled team, memorable cuisine and hospitality, small plate bistro and wine bar Graft has seemingly made success inevitable. The latest installment in the town’s string of sustainably-sourced dining venues, which opened in July, is the epitome of swank. “The idea behind Graft is the grafting of European and American grape vines,” restaurant partner Sam McDaniel said. “Combining wine, food and hospitality [creates] the greatest thing in the world.” Initially, this goal defined Graft. But then they acquired renowned Madison restaurant L’Etoile’s Scott Anderson as their mixologist. Anderson provided the new restaurant with a more extensive cocktail program that still coordinates with Graft’s cuisine. “I’ll work on something multiple times and let the public taste it to get multiple opinions,” Anderson said. Anderson’s knack for developing a cohesive menu began when he entered the restaurant industry at age 14 as a dishwasher in Green Bay. He later worked his way up to cooking and frontof-house positions. 14 • badgerherald.com • September 15, 2015

His destiny, however, was not always highquality cuisine. From serving breakfast at the DoubleTree to digging ditches in Glasgow, Scotland, Anderson has amassed quite the résumé. But these seemingly random career paths all shared a simple passion: creating something. So after a two-year stint at Johnny Delmonico’s Steakhouse — where he trained most of the staff — Anderson happily proceeded to the bar program at L’Etoile. There, Anderson was free to experiment with his alcoholic affinity under owner and James Beard award-winning Chef Tory Miller. Now at Graft, Anderson seeks to change perceptions about the way classic cocktails are made and should taste, including Wisconsin trademarks. “People here expect a sweet drink made with brandy, but a true Old Fashioned is made with whiskey,” he said. In terms of personal favorites you can find McDaniel sipping on his stand-by — but always open to experimentation — martini. Anderson’s drink of choice, however, is the Last Word. “It’s a cocktail from Detroit of gin, lime, green Chartreuse and maraschino liqueur,” Anderson said. “It’s cooling in the summer and goes down warm in winter.”

Though his mixology challenges notions of how cocktails are made, Anderson hasn’t had a drink returned yet. His surprising concoctions and eclectic small plates are what make Graft an impressive addition to Madison’s food scene.

Become a foodie ... in the bedroom by Meredith Head Hump Day Columnist

Many forces drive human beings to do what they do, but food and sex are among the most powerful motivators. Combining the two has the potential to introduce new sensations, flavors and textures into the bedroom (or kitchen). Snacking in the sack offers endless opportunities for creativity using the mouth — one can lick, suck or gently nibble all over the body for some sweet sensations.

Mind your manners As with all activities outside the conventional sexual script, discuss using food at length with partners. Rather than guessing, try running different foods over your skin and notice the sensations. Certain preparations should be made; aside from a trip to the grocery store, it might be a good idea to lay down towels or sheets that can get dirty. Keep baby wipes handy just in case something needs to be mopped up. Even if no one plans to eat the food, ask partners about

food allergies — nothing ruins the moment like jamming an EpiPen into someone while their throat swells up. The most important thing to remember about food play is to keep edibles away from genitals. Sugary foods (such as whipped cream and chocolate sauce) cause yeast infections in the vagina and upset the delicate balance of the anus. If licking a sweet treat off of genitals entices you, try using a sex dam to create a barrier between food and the orifice. The sensitive tip of a penis can be irritated by various foods, so exercise caution and stay

above the waist. Although some adventurous foodies may use fruits or vegetables for penetration, this carries some risks. Pesticides and bacteria can damage the delicate ecosystems of our junk. If fucking a cucumber or a melon is a must, wash the tool thoroughly and put a condom on it, always switching barriers between orifices. Never insert a vegetable into the anus, as some of them have flared bases and that carrot dildo could get lost up in the digestive tract. Avoid salty or spicy foods, as these could irritate sensitive skin or cuts.

~ The Menu ~ 1. ice cubes

4. Candy necklace

7. peanut butter

All right, they’re not food. But ice cubes thrill the senses when things are getting hot and heavy. Run an ice cube over your partner or hold one in your mouth before oral to give them a deliciously sexy chill.

This fashion statement from our childhoods is transformed when someone else is eating those little candies. Ask your partner to eat the necklaces off your neck (basically one big erogenous zone) or wear it as a garter on the thigh.

Unlike honey and syrup, peanut butter will not get as sticky. Use creamy peanut butter and be sure to have a glass of milk nearby to unstick your tongue from the roof of your mouth.

2. whipped cream

5. melted chocolate

8. candy dots

Ah, the classic. Use it to cover your naughty bits or spray it directly into the mouth. Bonus points for using cherries on the nipples.

This one can be a bit messy, so use with caution. Test carefully to make sure it isn’t too hot, and then drizzle it over your partner. If the chocolate sauce is still warm it will bring blood to the surface and make skin more sensitive.

Stick these treats on parts of the body that should be paid special attention. Hide them on the inner thighs, behind the ears and other areas sure to tingle.

3. honey or syrup

6. fruit

9. lemon

Drizzling these sticky treats can be sloppy but rewarding. Squeeze a line of honey directly down the spine and lick it all up.

Smaller fruits, such as cherries, grapes and sliced strawberries, are perfect for food play. Try making out and passing the fruit back and forth using your tongues, or run them over sensitive zones.

Squeeze drops of lemon juice on certain areas of the body and ask your partner to find them all. Take turns, and if it starts to go sour, sprinkle a little granulated sugar on the skin for some sweet texture change.

Organizers work to save local art from auction block Pressure mounts to preserve late folk artist Sid Boyum’s home, works by Riley Vetterkind ArtsEtc. Editor

On Madison’s east side, in a neighborhood far removed from the clamor of downtown and the university stands a little white house, undistinguished among those surrounding it — till the backyard is taken into account. Little known to some, the property is a local landmark: the former home of late folk art legend Sidney Boyum, who died in 1991. Behind this industrial photographer and homegrown sculptor’s former residence, dozens of the artist’s abandoned sculptures eerily rest in the backyard, decaying under the shade of a few trees. Inside the home, countless works of his art await their fate. Dane County recently acquired the property after it collected more than $18,000 in unpaid property taxes. Originally, the plan was to auction the property off in mid-September, but after a group of neighborhood art enthusiasts’ efforts, the country agreed to hold off the auction until next October. This gives the group more time to discuss options for saving his art. “We were trying to make sure the property didn’t get sold to someone who was going to bulldoze the place and pay no attention to the artwork there,” said Brian Standing, Dane County senior planner and leader of the community effort. “It was a huge achievement to get that far.” Currently, the group can’t permanently remove any sculptures or artwork from the property without Dane County’s permission.

Due to poor conditions inside the home, Standing said the county will allow them to temporarily store the home’s artwork offsite. In total, Boyum’s property contains 20 sculptures — the majority strewn about the backyard and one, a Buddha, built into the wall of the living room. The house’s interior also contains a sizable collection of Boyum’s flat artwork. For many, Boyum’s artwork holds a special place in not only Madison’s, but the east side’s story. His artwork, which he began working on after his retirement as an industrial photographer, is sexual and unorthodox. It describes not only his own complicated and volatile personality, but the alternative neighborhood in which his artwork is situated. “The collectables in his home are awesome and quirky,” Karin Wolf, Madison arts program administrator said. “People value him for what he expresses, which is an everyday person’s right to creative expression, and an insistence upon it. [He] marks a certain spirit of Madison.” Many familiar with Boyum’s work appreciate its do-it-yourself nature; Boyum taught himself how to sculpt. Still, few realize the darker side his personality represented. “Sid had a lot of anger; he had a dark side,” said Carl Landsness, once a teenager who lived next door to Boyum. “Some people considered his artwork pretty crude, and many considered him personally pretty crude and vulgar.” Landsness said Boyum’s anger often came out around his family — he said he often could

Photo · This fall isn’t the first time organizers have worked to preserve Boyum’s art; in 2000, a team of 12 conservation interns and 18 volunteers partnerned with Design Architects and late UW professor Tony Rajer to restore and publicly display 13 of his sculptures. Marissa Haegele The Badger Herald hear Boyum screaming at his mother. Unhealed wounds and deep family dysfunction are possibly part of the reason Sid’s heirs chose to never occupy the house after their father’s death, Landsness said. “Sid’s art is part of that,” Landsness said. “Much of it was his way of expressing that pain and anger.” Boyum had a light side as well. Landsness said Boyum loved to tell creative tall tales, and could often be found chatting with neighbors, fishing or wandering about with a big cigar in his mouth. To preserve Boyum’s legacy, many challenges remain. Organizers already plan to begin sorting out the bigger remaining questions at a meeting Tuesday at the Goodman Community

Center. One of their first goals is to seek a county ordinance amendment so the city could eventually purchase the property for less than its $50,000 appraised value, then transferring it to a non-profit. Various historical and art museums could eventually house the refurbished artwork, and organizers also want to explore acquiring rights to duplicate sculptures that may be too damaged to salvage. But while saving the art is a given, not all organizers agree how it should be preserved. Landsness said he represents some in the group who wish to keep the artwork and sculptures on the property, alongside Boyum’s personal items. “Part of his expression is in the house itself, in the way he created, and in the way he integrated his life emotions into the physical structure in which he lived,” Landsness said. While some estimates to refurbish the property are upward of $1 million, Landsness said this might not be necessary. “Some of the places that do not conform to building codes and regulations and health standards are the most uplifting places to live, even though they break all kinds of rules,” he said.

Madison’s riot grrrl rejuvenation Punk rocker Meghan Rose encourages fearlessness at Grrrls Rock Fest, Girls Rock Camp by Hunter Reed ArtsEtc. Staff Writer

Local musician Meghan Rose is punk rock. She dons the messy hair, the badass tattoos and the iconic black eye liner. She has the confidence and the charisma of a rock star. More importantly, she has the ability to shred the shit out of a guitar. But Rose isn’t alone in her hearty reincarnation of punk rock in Madison. Alongside a handful of bands like the Skizzwhores and Sexy Ester, Rose has built an empowered punk rock scene in Madison — and it’s growing. These local groups are setting the stage for a new generation of Kathleen Hannas and Carrie Brownsteins to take Madison by the throat and show everyone that not only is punk rock alive, but it’s also dominated by kick-ass ladies. The third annual GRRRLS Kick Ass Fest exemplified this female empowerment through music at the High Noon on September 4th. The event takes inspiration from the Riot GRRRL feminist movement of the 90s, and its spotlight on female expression through punk rock music. The bands all have their own unique flare, but they clearly take cues from the likes of Sleater Kinney, Bikini Kill and the many other women who paved the way in rock music a few decades ago. The festival felt like a walk through a time machine into a Nirvana music video. Under clouds of nicotine and marijuana, a sea of people — in all black, of course — thrashed violently to the hard guitar riffs and guttural vocals of the sirens on stage. The festival felt authentic and well-executed, but still possessed the spontaneity and crazy antics of a basement rock show. Rose and her band The Bones passionately emanated these vibes, while determined to keep pushing riot grrrl in Madison.

“If I’m doing my job right, the audience should feel empowered,” Rose said. “I want to bring intensity and make people cry or make them shiver.” That intensity and power was in full swing during her performance of “Spare Time.” A 7-minute break up song could have easily bored the audience, but Rose made sure they were invested in every minute. The crowd was captivated as she riffed on her guitar and poured her heart into the microphone. It was the embodiment of what punk rock should be: songs brimming with raw emotion surrounded by killer musical production. But, concerts aren’t the only way Rose and company hope to instill punk rock fever. They help empower a new generation of girls in Madison through projects like the annual Girls Rock Camp. The camp, which started around seven years, is three different weeks during summer. “We teach kids ages eight to 18, even if they’ve never picked up an instrument before, how to play the guitar, how to play bass, how to play drums,” Rose said. “They write a song in a week and they perform it. It’s really, really empowering for young girls.” The camp also hopes to give young girls a skill they can take outside of music: fearlessness. “When I first started, I was afraid to look at people,” Rose said. “I would do most of my stuff with my eyes closed. Now, everything I do onstage is a choice. I’m not nervous on stage at all. I’m not scared of anything. ” That’s what the GRRRLS Kick Ass Fest and Girls Rock Camp is about. Not being scared. Not being apologetic. It’s about fearless women taking the stage and claiming it as their own. These events may seem different, but they are united in showing Madison that girls can, and will, rock.

Low draws ‘90s indie out of dive bars Mild Minnesotan duo talks embracing roots, gaining notoriety before their stint at High Noon Saloon Sept. 18 by Kaden Greenfield ArtsEtc. Staff Writer

In the dimly lit bars and dives of the ‘90s, a modest, three-piece rock band continually found themselves ignored as most drunk bar crawlers tuned out. To express their disdain, they turned down the volume; why be a tryhard? It was then that the band Low found its niche. Low, consisting of Alan Sparhawk and his wife, Mimi Parker, has played to its namesake with serious, heavy and quiet sounds for 22 years, never relocating from Duluth, Minnesota. Low’s self-defeatist, yet charismatic attitude toward music and the world to which it contributes has allowed the duo to enter the depths of human emotion, accessing the darkest corners of the psyche. Depression and loss are recurring themes in their music. They have not abandoned their Minnesotan roots to restart their career in Los Angeles or New York. It’s this humble yet resilient attitude that elevates the band to a level not many achieve.

Low, which Sparhawk said emphasizes relationships, frustration and melancholy, started by playing in bars and coffee shops. They looked for music emulating “heart and soul,” the meat and potatoes of solid American rock. By default, finding its voice through struggle,this band does not tailor itself to the mainstream. Despite the love for their native Minnesota, the local culture can sometimes pose a challenge to their creativity. Sparhawk said creating music in a place not blessed with high visibility or open-mindedness has influenced how they experiment. “The Midwest has an outsider feel if you’re trying to do something new,” Sparhawk said. “This really shapes the output of our music.” Regardless of their limited reach or how their sound has evolved, Low has acquired an eclectic audience that continues to show its support. Low has the distinctive quality of showcasing vocal harmonies between Sparhawk and Parker on many tracks; Sparhawk said it’s something the couple has always shared, and the one thing people

“latch onto.” “When we first started, a lot of our stuff was based on repetition and experimentation,” Sparhawk said. “Some songs were extreme as we started out, but on our third and fourth albums we recorded more interplay with vocal harmonies, as well as more textures and different instruments.” Low has forged a path by harnessing its own creative energy not as a result of practice, but from an ephemeral jolt of inspiration that guides an entire album from start to finish. Though they’ve seen success, it hasn’t always been easy for Low. But, there are moments that click, in which every struggle and every ounce of labor is worth it. “Songs drive us,” Sparhawk said. “For me personally, you get inspired and you want to keep going. But sometimes it comes to the point of sitting late at night with your guitar, and asking yourself, are you gonna do this again or not?” Despite coming of age during volatile times for alternative rock, Low has managed to achieve notoriety outside of their native

Minnesota. Low headlined the inaugural Eaux Claires music festival this summer. They saw one of their songs featured in an episode of the HBO comedy “Eastbound & Down” two years ago, and performed as the opening act for Radiohead at Madison Square Garden in 2003, a moment Sparhawk said is one of the band’s most memorable. Eaux Claires 2015: Explore the inaugural festival’s most memorable acts Unlike other music festivals that have developed reputations — and often notoriety — through many years of drunk, drugged teenagers ... Low will go on tour following the release of their twelfth album “Ones and Sixes, Sept. 11, playing shows in the U.S, as well as some European venues. They’ll hit up High Noon Saloon September 18. But despite their achievements in the indie scene, Sparhawk said he doesn’t consider the path to success easy. It’s always daunting,” he said. “We never really know what we’re gonna do next. We’re always up for different, interesting things.”

Bars strategize to diminish use of fake IDs On a weekend night in Madison, bouncers are the judges of who can enter or not: On University of Wisconsin’s campus, underage drinkers persistently make their case by Emily Neinfeldt Features Associate

In a climate where fake IDs are readily available to college students, all that stands between underage students and the bars on a busy Friday night are the bouncers. Grant Hattenhauer, a bouncer at Chaser ’s, turns away between 50 and 60 fake IDs every night. “I’ve never confiscated a fake ID,” Hattenhauer said. “My manager told me, ‘you can if you want to,’ but I was in that position so I’m not going to take someone’s ID.” Bar owners have to trust the bouncers to do their job, even though bouncers may have been in the shoes of underage drinkers a few short years ago. Bouncers are trained to recognize fake IDs and when a person is trying to use an ID that doesn’t belong to them, Hattenhauer said. “Honestly, people who have a real ID, but it’s not them, have a way better chance of getting in than a fake ID,” Hattenhauer said.

Confiscating IDs

Fake IDs confiscated by bars or liquor stores are required to be turned over to MPD, Barcheski said. If a police officer confiscates a fake ID and issues a citation, the fake ID is tagged as evidence, he said. If no form of law enforcement action takes place, the fake ID is often turned over to the community policy team, a unit of MPD responsible for tavern safety inspections and used for training, he said. There is no ordinance that requires an establishment to confiscate a fake ID if they identify one, Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said. That is at the discretion of the establishment, he said. Some bars offer their bouncers a bounty, such as $5, for each fake ID they confiscate, Verveer said. This practice is not encouraged by the city, he said, but bars are often motivated to incentivize their

bouncers to take fakes when they believe they’re in trouble with the cops. “I think our manager kinda understands that taking fake IDs isn’t the best way to bring business here,” Hattenhauer said. “When those people turn 21 they might not want to come back.” Liquor license revocation rarely happens in Madison, Verveer said. Bouncers may receive a monetary reward if police raid a bar, begin to check people’s IDs and do not find any underage patrons or fake IDs, Hattenhauer said.

Photos · Some bouncers may get a reward for confiscating false identification. Marissa Haegele The Badger Herald distinguishing real IDs from fake IDs, as well as other safety measures for their bars, he said. Twice a year the city sponsors a volunteer tavern safety training program that every tavern owner, manager and employee is invited to, Verveer said. Typically the campus-area bars attend the sessions in large numbers, Verveer said. “Members of the police department, among other parts of their talk, discuss how to spot fake IDs and what the current trends in fake IDs are that the police department is experiencing,” he said. The training is the main way the city holds discussion on fake IDs, Verveer said.

Fake vs. fraudulent

A common misconception is fake IDs are always falsely made, but the greater challenge is real IDs being used to represent another individual, Chase Rudy, co-owner of Chaser ’s, said in an email to The Badger Herald. Hattenhauer said the state IDs which are most commonly used as fakes are Ohio, Illinois, Connecticut, Maryland and Colorado. A majority of fake IDs used today are real IDs being used fraudulently to represent another individual, Verveer said. In the past, fake IDs were often poorly made, Madison Police Department Officer Michael Barcheski said. In the digital age, it’s becoming more difficult to recognize fake IDs as the quality improves, he said. MPD analyzes people’s behavior and uses subtle clues and differences on the ID to tell if it is real or fake, Barcheski said. Having a fake ID and using another ’s ID fraudulently is actually the same offense in the eye of the law, Barcheski said. The ID will be confiscated and the offender could receive a $439 citation, he said.

Some establishments use scanners to help check IDs, but there are no city ordinances or consistent requirements to regulate whether an establishment has to use a scanner, Verveer said. “It is really up to the establishment’s discretion as to how they verify an identification is valid and further, who they even are requiring identification from,” Verveer said. The Wisconsin Union recently implemented a more advanced scanning system this summer, Jim Long, Wisconsin Union restaurant division manager, said. This new scanner is able to take a high resolution picture of each ID and check for different fraud protections each state has, such as holograms or microprints, he said. Some establishments choose to scan IDs not to determine if they are fake, but to

recognize individuals that have caused disturbances in the past, Barcheski said. Some softwares build networks with other bars to pass along this information, he said. About 10 years ago, the city attempted to provide downtown establishments with scanners, which initially helped curb the use of fake IDs, Matt Bents, manager of Riley’s Wines of the World, said in an email to The Badger Herald. “With advances in the production of fake IDs, scanning is not that effective of a tool, as even fake IDs will now pass along data to the reader, making it appear as if they were legitimate,” Bents said. Over the years, the city has increasingly moved away from requiring scanning because there is no real consistency in effectiveness, Verveer said. “There are a few examples of bars over the years that have been required, because of past enforcement actions, by the city to employ a scanner,” Verveer said. “The number of establishments that utilize scanners because of a city requirement is down to a handful or fewer.” Still, with all the strategies employed by bars and police, many underage drinkers are persistently entering Madison’s bar scene near UW’s campus. “I probably get more [fake IDs] on like a Tuesday night, a Wednesday night or a Thursday night then I would on the weekends, just cause underagers know it will be easier during the week, which we usually are,” Hattenhauer said.

Answer to alarming intoxication rates at games: serve beer Some schools offer alcoholic beverages at football stadiums, have seen improvement in drinking-related incidents

Photos · In the past five to six years, UWPD has seen an increase in intoxication levels during game days. BAC levels recorded after home game ejections averaged .288 last year. by Ryan Smith Columnist

For four consecutive football Saturdays, familiar chants of “Let’s go Badgers!” will echo across campus and students will join in one of University of Wisconsin’s most well-known traditions — drinking. Drinking and tailgating is not exclusive to Madison, but our game day experience is nationally renowned. Many see tailgating and drinking as part of the college experience, but with reported intoxication levels rising in past years, is drinking on game days getting out of hand? The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) reports 80 percent of college students drink alcohol and 40 percent participate in binge drinking. Alcohol on occasion and in regulated doses does not pose much of a problem, but when students begin to abuse alcohol, their habits are reflected in academic performance, sleep patterns and overall personal well-being. Of course it’s unrealistic to eliminate drinking from college campuses, but there should be more regulation on social drinking during the first weeks of college. The NIAAA reports students are especially vulnerable to heavy drinking during the first six weeks of classes because there are high 22 • badgerherald.com • September 15, 2015

expectations of partying and social pressure. At a university noted for both its vibrant drinking scene and football atmosphere, drinking issues tend to be accentuated during the fall semester at UW. UW Police Department spokesperson Marc Lovicott acknowledges alcohol issues often increase in the beginning of the school year. “We tend to see issues every year when it comes to game day …in addition to the beginning of the school year … we see alcohol issues on a rise,” says Lovicott. While Lovicott mentions a rise in general drinking at the start of the year, UW-Madison Police Department also reported an increase in intoxication levels. “Five, six years ago it was pretty rare to find somebody … with a blood [alcohol] content of .2 or higher. Now we see it almost every weekend,” states Lovicott. “In some cases we’ve come across issues with a .3 and higher which is extremely alarming,” warns Lovicott. This surge in BAC levels is evident when looking at game day police statistics from last year’s football season. UWPD reports reveal the highest average BACs from home game ejections last year was .288. However, high BACs of .321 and .301 were reported for the second two games of the year. To put this in perspective, once a person hits a BAC of .3 or greater, the individual is at risk to go into a coma, a BAC upwards of .4 can be fatal.

Joey Reuteman The Badger Herald As intoxication levels continue to rise, UWPD are exploring reasons to explain this worrisome trend. “We’re not sure if students are drinking more or using liquor instead of beer, but it is something we are keeping an eye on,” Lovicott said. Camp Randall, like most colleges in America, does not serve alcohol at games. But the decision to not serve alcohol may spur students to consume unsafe levels prior to the game. “We’ve heard students like to “load up” before going to the game because … they either aren’t of age or alcohol isn’t served at the game,” says Lovicott. Thirty-two of the 125 football bowl subdivision (FBS) schools have converted to selling beer at games, 21 on-campus stadiums and 11 off-campus stadiums, which includes major schools like West Virginia, Syracuse and even Minnesota. Many of these colleges cannot drive up revenue through a passionate fan base, therefore they use beer sales to help make money. Some schools that now serve beer at college football games, however, have noticed a change for the better. West Virginia in particular has benefited financially and seen an improvement

in alcohol-related incidents. West Virginia estimates $750,000 annual in net profits from beer sales, its campus police report a sharp decline in alcohol-related incidents at games. But it seems UW isn’t ready to make the jump over to selling beer at games quite yet. “We don’t have enough data to determine whether or not that’s a good idea,” mentions Lovicott. There is some concern that by providing alcohol at games, issues could arise from students continuously drinking throughout the game. The opposite argument could be made, however, that having alcohol at games would deter some student from excessive binge drinking prior to the game, knowing that they would have the opportunity to drink at the stadium. There is much to explore about whether or not selling beer would slow rising intoxication levels and reduce alcohol related incidents, but the idea warrants future exploration by the university.

Foolish to rush decision on Exact Sciences proposal City to invest $12 million towards Judge Doyle Square, this should be sound investment by Megan Stefkovich Columnist

A new biotech company, Exact Sciences, is on the radar, not for their innovative product, but for the recent proposal to move their headquarters downtown to Judge Doyle Square. Although the development is expected to increase growth in Madison, I am skeptical about the city’s investment in the endeavor. The timeline for finalizing the agreement with the developer is rushed, and I believe the City Council needs more time to deliberate and incorporate public opinion into their decision. The two-block area located between the Capitol Square and the Monona Terrace will be known as Judge Doyle Square. It has been the subject of a $200 million development proposal to build 1,550 parking stalls, a new hotel, a retail center and the Exact Sciences headquarters. This is a relatively young company responsible for the development of the first FDAapproved non-invasive colon cancer screening test, known as Cologuard. The decision to move the headquarters downtown is a massive project. It is sure to create jobs and accelerate economic growth, especially considering the trend of post-graduate exodus in Wisconsin. Here’s the contentious part: the city of Madison has agreed to grant $12 million to Exact Sciences in a jobs-based tax incremental financing (TIF) loan. A TIF loan is a way for the city to encourage community-development projects by subsidizing companies to expand. With the increase in revenue from property and sales tax, the city can benefit from the economic development and use the tax base to pay for improvements in areas such as Madison,

Headline dominant Photo · Exact Sciences purchased land in Research Park for $4.8 million, therefore it is possible they will stay in Madison regardless of loan. Courtesy of JDS Development, LLC Dane County, Madison College and Madison school districts. They estimate the city will recoup their investment in about six to seven years, bringing an estimated $10 million per year from property, sales and hotel taxes. The proposal has recently been recommended for approval by the Board of Estimates if issues, including this TIF proposal, are resolved. The concern many have with the TIF loans, and the root of my skepticism, is it is unclear if the $12 million loan to Exact Sciences is worth the cost. The loan is contingent on the creation of 300 jobs in the Judge Doyle Square location by July 2017, and another 100 jobs by 2019. Portions of the money will be returned if job growth expectations are not met or Exact Sciences leaves the location before an agreed period of time. According to the Capital Times, TIF

Coordinator Joe Gromacki says the loan violates 13 provisions of the TIF policy and acts essentially as a grant, with the money not being directly paid back, but instead received through tax payments until 2045. It’s also not specified what Exact Sciences will use the loan for, as certain sources of expenditure are illegal under state law. The city is largely funding this huge project through the surplus from the tax incremental district (TID), where Judge Doyle Square is located. But many feel the district should be closed and the reserve tax money be used by other bodies, such as the public schools, resulting in a rejection of the proposal. While I don’t think the deal should be outright terminated, funding the expansion of a company with an unclear understanding of what Exact Sciences will do with that money is cause for hesitation. But another facet to consider is that Exact

Sciences bought land in University Research Park for $4.8 million, where another TIF district is proposed.. If Exact Sciences plans to maintain their headquarters in Madison, despite the Judge Doyle deal, why is the city rushing into an agreement to abundantly subsidize the project? Mayor Soglin asserts the need to revive Madison justifies the risks the loan may come with. But he has recommended a delay in the City Council vote until Sept. 15. Though I understand the need for investment in growing businesses in the Madison area, I don’t understand the need to rush negotiating parties and the City Council to reach a decision for a proposal with such an enormous price tag. Yes, risks must be taken in order to reap rewards, but a poorly informed investment of such an exorbitant amount is simply foolish.

POINT COUNTERPOINT

@badgerherald

POINT COUNTERPOINT What the college Democrats or Republicans can do for you College Republicans The University of Wisconsin College Republicans want to help students elect leaders who lower taxes, freeze tuition and honor our brave service men and women. We want to serve as a place where government can become real for you. For most, it’s not easy to follow the lines to the exact moment where government creeps into our lives. So let’s make it easy. This summer you worked your butt off to pay for college. Each week, each month, you would wait for your paycheck to arrive. After excitedly tearing it open, you were disappointed because you realized how much money the government pulls out of your paycheck. The government says your hard earned money is being used effectively and efficiently, but you never see how. Everyone organizes their college funds before returning to UW. Look at the amount of money you had, and the daunting price of tuition. You scowled wondering whether you’ll be able to pay for school or pay off your student loans. In high school, people said they were joining the military and wanted to serve this country. In their eyes was life-long dedication and sacrifice, as they tried explaining what service means to them. As a College Republican I find relief realizing there is a group of people who care deeply about these issues. There’s an incredible presence on campus that values hard work, opportunity and freedom. Sometimes it seems as if our country has stopped caring. It’s unsettling the moment you realize Facebook, celebrities and sports take precedent over important issues brewing in our society and government. How many times have you heard

24 • badgerherald.com • September 15, 2015

College Democrats: the mention of a government affair, or current event, only to have someone respond, “Well, my family and I don’t really follow politics.” How many times have you thought, “It really doesn’t matter … it’s not affecting me.” It is true in this great country, you have the freedom to not care, but if society continues to be apathetic, the freedom to be inattentive to government and the world around us, will no longer exist. In order to preserve our freedom to “not care” we must participate in it and become educated on relevant issues. Our duty is not simply voting on Election Day. These are steps that need to be taken to make government more efficient and accountable with our money, to make school more affordable, to ensure our service men and women do not sacrifice their lives in vain and to make sure when your voice is heard it is protected. College Republicans are young motivated people who understand how precious America is. They understand the only way to preserve the freedom that everyone enjoys, even being apathetic about the government, is to start informing people, educating them and helping them come to the conclusion that your country’s government does matter. I’m proud to be part of the movement of Republican students who want to positively change how people think. We value the self-determination that equal opportunity provides all of us. We value you’re freedom to achieve, and we value you’re freedom of opinion. We value the moment where government becomes real in your life.

This year, University of Wisconsin College Democrats will work to bring students together and move toward a vision of a more inclusive campus. Our university is undergoing a rapid transformation. We will graduate from a campus that is unrecognizable from the one we applied to. We are in the midst of an unprecedented budget cut, along with the hollowing out of important institutions like professor tenure and shared governance. In addition, the way we elect representatives is changing. With the implementation of voter ID statewide, hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites have been made defenseless. Students are hit disproportionately hard. Even here at UW, our student IDs do not meet the requirements of the IDs necessary to vote. It is becoming more difficult to participate in our democracy. Why should you care about politics as a student at UW? The usual tropes try to invoke the effects of politics on your everyday life. It is always a guilt trip about voting, and making sure not to complain if you do not vote. And all this may be true, but it is not why you should be interested and involved in campus politics. Politics have a much more direct and profound impact on your life as a Badger than it ever has before and perhaps more than it ever will. These policies should be motivational, helping you channel your frustration into action. College Democrats are doing just that. Even in the face of voter restrictions, we registered more than 1,500 students to vote in last year ’s gubernatorial election. The hard work paid off and students turned out in

favor of Mary Burke, Gov. Walker ’s opposing candidate. In the face of Walker ’s detrimental budget cuts, we held events to inform students of the direct impacts of the cuts. As Walker ’s radical conservative policies engulfed state government, we focused our efforts on the local City Council race, electing UW student and College Democrat Zach Wood. This coming year will involve building up the campaigns of candidates so we can elect people who respect and represent students in 2016, such as candidate Russ Feingold who is running for Senate. We also will be busily preparing for the Presidential Election. While we are not supporting any single Democratic candidate, we will be spreading the word on campus on why electing a Democrat in 2016 is imperative. All of the Democratic candidates have presented plans to reduce student loan debt and rein in the cost of tuition. Unlike Republican candidates, who see massive budget cuts to the UW System as more important than making college affordable to students. We need to elect a president who understands what massive student loan debt means to a middle class family, as well as the larger economy. We need to elect a president who is willing to fight to refinance student loans and will build a pathway to free two-year education. All of our efforts, as College Democrats, work towards bringing students together. When we work together, we can truly accomplish incredible things on our campus.

Gov. Scott Walker’s border comments were taken out of context ‘Meet the Press’ host pushed idea; reading past headlines would reduce misinformation by Luke Schaetzel Columnist

Gov. Scott Walker has received massive push back on his comments about Canadian immigration and the supposed “border.” These critiques are unprecedented, considering Walker’s statements were taken out of context. Roughly two weeks ago on Meet the Press, Chuck Todd asked Walker about the security on the U.S northern border with Canada. Walker did his best trying to focus the conversation on the southern border with Mexico, but Todd ultimately won and Walker ended up talking about immigration as a whole. Walker, like other 2016 presidential hopefuls, focused on the idea of a wall separating us from our southern neighbors. Todd continued to grill Walker on why no one was talking about the northern border. Finally, Walker gave in and concluded border protection as a whole must be looked at seriously, and voters in New Hampshire were deeply concerned about the issue. The transcript of the interview shows the one pushing the idea of Canadian border protection was actually Todd. Politifact made a post putting Walker’s

comments into context by showing Todd was the first to bring up the idea of a wall and Walker never firmly backed it. The thought of “too little, too late” tends to come to mind in these situations. The damage is already done. People will believe Walker suggested a border between the U.S and Canada, rather than believe the facts. Because our deadline-driven lives and our lack of interest in the truth, we do not read stories beyond the catchy headlines. This is the very reason candidates like Donald Trump are happening and will continue to happen (cue the Kayne 2020 bumper stickers) and the reason misinformation about the Canadian border spreads. We take headlines at face value and this creates situations like Walker’s. Media outlets fight for viewership and they try to gain readership through headlines. That was the goal when the title for this story was crafted. Headlines are worded so they have some information in them, but not all of it. Average readers or viewers may not know this, so they will take a headline like “Are Immigrants Really Freeloaders? New Study Backs Trump’s Attacks” and believe that Trump was right about the murders and rapists coming

across the border. In fact, if you read the article the first paragraph quotes a study that shows illegal immigrants are willing to pay taxes. Then the article goes on to debunk a study about immigrants’ over-use of welfare programs. When you see headlines such as “Rand Paul mocks Scott Walker over ‘dumb’ Canadian border wall” or “Scott Walker: U.S.-Canada wall a ‘legitimate’ idea” you would assume Walker was a firm supporter of the idea, rather than the truth. So if we just went through our day reading headlines rather than articles, we may believe Trump was right on immigration or that Walker

suggested a Canadian boarder, never knowing the title is based on a biased and false report. Maybe it has gotten to the point where the titles that are meant to draw the reader and viewer into the discussion are so flashy and eye-catching that the target audience believes the title is a summary of the topic. I believe the titles have done their job at attracting views, but in turn have also become responsible for misinformation in society today.

BADGERS BREAKDOWN

McEvoy displays versatility on both sides of ball, does it all for Badgers Fifth-year senior takes snaps at wide receiver, safety, under center in wildcat by Chris Bumbaca Sports Editor

After the Wisconsin football team’s 58-0 trouncing of Miami (Ohio) Saturday, Tanner McEvoy said he feels like he’s playing pickup football with his buddies. Probably because McEvoy played like the kid that’s bigger and stronger than all of his classmates on the blacktop during recess — running the ball, catching passes, making tackles and intercepting balls, all with supreme ease. That’s exactly what McEvoy displayed on the turf of Camp Randall Stadium Saturday. He ran. He caught. He covered. He tackled. All in the same game. All in a day’s work for McEvoy. And he excelled at it all, playing at both safety and wide receiver, and even taking a direct snap in Wisconsin’s wildcat formation. For the Badgers to be at their best, UW head coach Paul Chryst said, they need him on the field as much as possible — just like the kid on the blacktop. “He’s got great football intelligence, and I think he’s a talented football player, and I think he’s a guy that can help make us different offensively and defensively,” Chryst said. “We were able to do some different things in the back end defensively ... I think he needed to do that for us, for us to be the best.” Early in the second quarter, McEvoy recorded his first reception since he was a junior in high school, a nine-yard bubble screen from quarterback Joel Stave. Those are the kind of routes for McEvoy that Stave envisions will give defenses fits. “If you can get him on the edges and in space in one-on-one situations, I think he’s a guy who can be pretty dangerous with the ball in his hands,” Stave said. Good luck to those defensive backs who encounter McEvoy one-on-one in open space. The fifth-year senior from Hillsdale, New Jersey is listed at 6-foot-6 and 231 pounds. McEvoy finished Saturday with three catches and 29 yards, his longest reception going for 17 yards. He also lined up at quarterback, a position he started at the first four games of 2014, before being benched for Stave and only coming in to run the option. But this time, it was part of Wisconsin’s new wildcat scheme. Last week was the first time the Badgers practiced it, McEvoy said. Tack defensive responsibilites onto McEvoy’s plate. He started at safety for the Badgers in addition to his offensive reps. Playing both ways is something McEvoy doesn’t take for granted. “I see it as an opportunity. I got to make the most of this opportunity that I’m getting,” McEvoy said. “Coach [Chryst] believes that I can go both ways, and physically I felt good today, which was nice ... it was fun to do.” 26 • badgerherald.com • September 15, 2015

Photo · Tanner McEvoy started at wide receiver and safety for UW Saturday. He recorded his second career interception in the second quarter and caught three passes for 29 yards. Joey Reuteman The Badger Herald McEvoy was around the ball all day, and recorded his first interception since 2013 in the second quarter. He stepped up in man coverage, read the quarterback’s eyes and snatched the ball. Then, the race was on. Because when Tanner McEvoy has the ball in his hands, he’s only thinking end zone, a product of his quarterback mentality. But he was dragged down at the four-yard line after a 41-yard return. “I wish I would’ve scored,” McEvoy said. McEvoy was on the field for 73 plays Saturday. Chryst and the rest of the coaching staff closely monitored his reps, but after a conversation Friday between McEvoy and Chryst, the plan was to have McEvoy alert the coaches when he got winded.

That moment didn’t come Saturday, McEvoy said, because of the numerous television timeouts during college football games. McEvoy excels in all facets of football for a variety of reasons. One, Stave said, is his pure athleticism. “He’s just got some very natural size that you can’t really teach — the way he can go up and attack the ball,” Stave said. “And he’s got some sneaky speed that people may not give him as much credit for.” Another is that he’s all over the football field, which he uses to his advantage. McEvoy takes what he learned on one side of the ball and applies it to the other, he said. Playing quarterback helped him understand coverage, and playing safety has helped him

transition to wide receiver. “I try to build my football IQ every year. I think it’s gotten better,” McEvoy said. “I’ve tried to take what I learned at quarterback and use it on defense, use it at receiver. It all kind of carries over.” Leo Musso, a redshirt junior safety who plays in the secondary with McEvoy had one word to describe McEvoy’s Saturday performance: awesome. “He’s everywhere,” Musso said. “He’s catching everything, making plays on the back end, making plays on offense, it was cool to see.” Sounds like the kid that dominates pickup games with his buddies. Tanner McEvoy was that kid. He’s just doing it again.

Wheelwright’s presence opens new doors for UW passing attack Junior wide receiver finally healthy enough to contribute as No. 2 option for quarterback Joel Stave

Photo · Rob Wheelwright celebrates his second touchdown grab in Wisconsin’s 58-0 win over Miami (Ohio) Saturday. He had six catches for 79 yards. Joey Reuteman The Badger Herald by Nick Brazzoni Sports Content Editor

On a regular day, Badger fans might be disappointed to see their No. 1 wide receiver — fifth-year senior Alex Erickson — failed to find the end zone in a Saturday afternoon blowout against a lowly Miami (Ohio) squad. On a regular day, Erickson would dictate the success of the University of Wisconsin passing game. If Erickson found success, the team likely moved the ball well through the air. If not, well, you had to pray that UW could have better luck on the ground. But Saturday was no regular day and this is definitely not your regular Wisconsin receiving corps. The team no longer has to rely on Erickson to make the big plays downfield and carry the entire unit on his back. Starting quarterback Joel Stave no longer has to have tunnel vision as he looks at his receivers, praying that Erickson finds a way to get open Enter junior Robert Wheelwright: savior of the Wisconsin football team’s passing attack. Wheelwright is someone UW coaches and fans have been waiting on for the past

several seasons, as a plethora of injuries kept the promising wide out off the field and absent from the box score. This was not the case Saturday, as Wheelwright stepped on the field and had his long-awaited breakout game, catching a team-high six balls for 79 yards and two touchdowns, both of which came in the first half. The junior proved to be the big-play guy and red zone target the Badgers have craved these past two years, but more importantly, he proved he was healthy. “For me, it’s always been about staying healthy,” Wheelwright said. “It’s been about being called upon and being able to make the best of my chances.” Despite Wheelwright saying he made the best of his chance, it was clear he could have been even better. In the closing moments of the first half, Stave threw a near-perfect pass to Wheelwright as he made a post route to the end zone, but the ball slipped through his fingertips. Wheelwright was half of a finger away from recording three touchdowns in one half. “[I was kicking myself] just a little bit,

but I had to get over it and continue to play. But, it could’ve been a third touchdown,” Wheelwright said of the play. “The coaches just told me to keep my feet moving and try to run through it.” Now, Wheelwright’s breakthrough is not to take anything away from Erickson, who remains a staple and a leader of this receiving corps and the Wisconsin offense in general. But Wheelwright’s presence is a gamechanger, as his success gives himself, the coaches and the entire team confidence in their passing attack; confidence that neither the team nor its fans had just a year ago. Most importantly, it makes Erickson’s job a heck of a lot easier. “Obviously I’m playing more in the slot and my role is a little different with catching inside and running the shorter routes,” Erickson said. “But [Wheelwright] is the X and that’s what we need. A big guy that’s not afraid to high-point a ball and come down with it.” And, despite the fact that Erickson has to change his role a bit to accommodate more weapons in the passing game, he’s more than happy to do so for the betterment of the team.

“I think the more that we get more people involved, the better we will be off,” Erickson said. “It only gets tougher down the stretch, so the more guys we can get touches and the more making plays, the better.” Erickson may start not getting as many looks as he once did or stuff the receiving stat sheet as he once did, but that’s not the point. The point is he doesn’t have to. He doesn’t have to face double coverage on a weekly basis. He doesn’t have to be put in a position he’s not comfortable in. He doesn’t have to act as a big target in the red zone one play and short-yardage guy the next. Thanks to Wheelwright, Erickson can now be Erickson, and the passing game has the opportunity to reach new heights. “[It was] just a great day. We played great,” Wheelwright said. “As a team we did a great job of coming out there in front of all our fans in our first home game and it was just kind of like a welcome home game.” Hopefully, for the sake of the fans and the potential success of this Badger offense, what Wheelwright described Saturday as a “great day” can be seen as a “regular day” for Wisconsin football going forward.

MEN’S SOCCER

Third-string keeper makes most of opportunity on West Coast trip Redshirt junior Connor Revsbeck starts two matches for men’s soccer team, plays well despite two one-goal losses by Matt Foster Men’s Soccer Reporter

Coming into the 2015 season, the battle for the starting goalkeeper position for the University of Wisconsin-Madison men’s soccer team looked like it was going to be a two-man race. Redshirt junior Casey Beyers and sophomore Adrian Remeniuk split game time last season, playing in nine and 11 games respectively. Beyers started the season as the No. 1 option, but Remeniuk also saw game time in the second half of the Badgers 2-0 loss to Xavier on Aug. 30. But a new goalkeeper has emerged from the ranks to contend for the starting role along with Beyers and Remeniuk: redshirt junior Connor Revsbeck. Revsbeck began the season as third string, but the Lakeville, Minnesota native started his first two games in his Wisconsin career last weekend as the Badgers lost both matches to Santa Clara, 2-1 (OT), and UC-Davis, 3-2.

Revsbeck was happy to finally get his chance between the sticks for the Badgers, even if it was in a losing fashion. “It was nice,” he said. “Obviously the results didn’t go our way, but it was good to go out there and help support the team.” The shot stopper didn’t even know he was going to be starting two weekends ago. Revsbeck said he found out he was getting the nod for both games when the Badgers landed in California, giving him roughly a day to prepare for his first career start for Wisconsin. Revsbeck transferred from UWMilwaukee after his freshman season. He made five appearances for the Panthers, and couldn’t compete for more playing time due to injuries. He said he’s trained hard to get healthy and give himself the opportunity to play.0 Revsbeck said he transfered from UWMilwaukee not because he didn’t like playing for the team there, but rather for a greater challenge academically, Revsbeck said. Head coach John Trask was pleased with

the way Revsbeck performed in his first two appearances for the Badgers. “I thought [Revsbeck] had a gutsy performance, especially [against Santa Clara],” Trask said. “He made a couple of excellent saves to keep us in the game.” Compared to Beyers and Remeniuk, Trask said Revsbeck is likely the quickest of the goalkeepers, due in part to his shorter stature — standing at 6-foot-2, while Byers towers at 6-foot-5. “[Revsbeck]’s quick — more of a reaction save type of guy,” Trask said. “We thought that in the situation out West, we would need a little bit more than a dominant force in the box.” Beyers and Remeniuk are top goalkeepers in their own respect, each bringing something different to the table. Beyers offers the dominant, looming force that Trask talked about. Beyers rarely loses aerial battles in the box, often using his large frame to snag balls out of the air before the on-rushing heads of attackers can get a piece of it. Remeniuk, one of most talented sophomore goalkeepers in the college game, uses his athleticism and communication skills to make his presence known when he’s busy patrolling the box for the Badgers. Last season for Wisconsin, Beyers posted a 1-5-2 record, had a 2.0 goals

against average, racked up 33 saves and notched one shutout in his eight appearances. Remeniuk, on the other hand, managed a 2-7-1 record, had a 1.6 goals against average, recorded 33 saves and posted two shut outs in his 10 appearances. So far in the 2015 season, each of the three goalkeepers have seen minutes, but no one has stood out thus far to solidify that No. 1 role. This has left Trask with the predicament of deciding which keeper is playing the best at the moment. “As they say in hockey, you’re going with the hot goalkeeper,” he said. The Badgers have already conceded eight goals in four games this season, something that needs to be addressed for Wisconsin. In order for that to happen, however, it all starts with the goalkeeper, said Revsbeck. “We need to communicate more at the back line and make sure everybody’s one cohesive unit and just go from there,” he said. “Hopefully we’ll start getting more results.” Beyers and Remeniuk are likely to get most of the minutes the rest of the season, especially with the start of Big Ten play on the horizon, Trask said, but Revsbeck made the most of his opportunity and will look to continue to push the level of play of the other goalkeepers.

Sheffield: Support in Madison helps program reach new heights Despite never playing volleyball himself, third-year head coach’s will to win, unique perspective, leads to success “At the end of the day, no matter where you are, no matter what school you’re at, it’s still about getting people to buy in.” Kelly Sheffield

“I think it’s just that he loves to win so much,” Carlini said. “He’s just a very passionate person. When he sets his mind on something, he’s going to achieve it and there’s no one that’s going to get in his way. He’s a very competitive person. He doesn’t want people to be better than him, and he instills that in us.”

Carlini has seen her average assists per set increase every year since her career began in 2013, going from 11.15 her freshman season to 11.71 this season. Morey has produced more average digs per set each year, increasing her total by almost 2.5 digs per set since transferring from Notre Dame. And Bates, the youngest of the three, has added nearly .7 kills per set on average, only 5 games into her second season. Sheffield said he realized how much all the people he’d met along the way had helped him get to that point in his life, which is why he tries so hard to be there for his players. Sheffield’s dedication to these players and the improvement they show is just another reminder of how much he loves teaching the game of volleyball and the life lessons that go with it. If it’s up to him, he said, he would like to be here in Madison for a while longer. “It’s the people and support here,” Sheffield said. “I’m very fortunate I have the administrative support I do, that I’m at an academic institution that allows me to go after some of the most talented kids in the country.”

Wisconsin volleyball head coach Kelly Sheffield has found success coaching a sport he admits he’s doesn’t have any experience playing. Sheffield said his favorite thing about coaching is the teaching aspect. The ability for him to help players who he feels deserve attention and put in the work to better not only themselves but their team as well. “I love teaching and I love competing,” Sheffield said. “What you want is players who want to be taught. Players who want to compete and who don’t act like they know everything … we have that here and that’s what makes this profession so enjoyable.” It’s what the Muncie, Indiana, native said he finds so fascinating about the game and why he’s grown so attached to it for the past 25 years. His career began at his alma mater, Burris Laboratory School, where he assisted an old classmate with coaching the JV volleyball team. That education built the foundation for how he would later rise through the ranks of collegiate volleyball and progress through assistant positions until nabbing the head coaching spots at SUNY Albany and then the University of Dayton, before coming to

Wisconsin. Once at Wisconsin, he felt he had made it. “[Wisconsin] is pretty big,” Sheffield said. “You’re playing in front of a lot fans and you get a lot of people who are interested in what you’re doing. Everybody knows this school.” Coaching on Wisconsin’s prominent stage, Sheffield said he had to step up but realized that the same lessons he’d already learned still applied. “At the end of the day, no matter where you are, no matter what school you’re at, it’s still about getting people to buy in, practice hard and play for each other,” Sheffield said. “Wisconsin is no different.” That attitude, which he has seamlessly implemented here at Wisconsin, has triggered the improvement of players like Lauren Carlini, Taylor Morey and Kelli Bates, each of whom have played all of their seasons at Wisconsin under Sheffield. Sheffield’s mannerisms and ability to talk about Wisconsin volleyball in a way that seems like a friendly conversation gives insight to why his players are so responsive to his methods. His players respect his ability to coach despite not being a player himself. September 15, 2015 • badgerherald.com • 29

Lavelle is short in stature, but her game continues to grow Junior midfielder heads Wisconsin women’s soccer as a leader both on and off the field

by Jamie DeGraff Women’s Soccer Reporter

As a two-time all-conference selection and national player of the year candidate, it’s hard to imagine a player of Rose Lavelle’s caliber being concerned about a roster spot. But when the midfielder reached out to Wisconsin’s head coach Paula Wilkins via e-mail during her college search back in 2013, she had her doubts, despite playing for Wilkins overseas earlier in the year. “I had gone on an international trip with her to Holland, and I really liked her there as a coach,” Lavelle said. “I was nervous because I was scared she wasn’t going to want me.” Perhaps if Lavelle knew what Wilkins saw in her at the time, she would’ve been a little more confident typing the message. The two first met at a youth Olympic development team tryout where Wilkins was part of the selection committee, when Lavelle was 15. Noting both her athleticism and technical skills at the time, Wilkins said Lavelle’s 32 • badgerherald.com • September 15, 2015

performance at the tryouts made her an easy pick for the team. “Her quickness was pretty incredible, especially on the ball. She tends to be faster with the ball than without it,” Wilkins said. “Her ability to hold onto the ball in tight spaces was also impressive.” Wilkins hoped for more of the same when Lavelle first suited up as a Badger in 2013, and as expected, she made an immediate impact on the offense. Scoring six goals and adding seven more assists over just 19 games, Lavelle became the first Badger to be named Big Ten Freshman of the Year, as well as the first Wisconsin player overall since 2010 to receive first-team all conference recognition. Lavelle’s jump onto the Big Ten scene two years ago can certainly be credited, inpart, to playing alongside fellow star Kinley McNicoll in the midfield. Already a top scorer on the team before Lavelle’s arrival, McNicoll has only improved since the two have had the opportunity to complement each other’s talents on the attack. Aside from her natural ability on the pitch, McNicoll praised Lavelle for her enthusiasm

“Her

quickness was pretty incredible, especially on the ball. She tends to be faster with the ball than without it.” Paula Wilkins, head coach

and passion to win, which has made it easy for the two starters to develop a strong bond on and off the field over the years.

There was one moment in particular with Lavelle that McNicoll will never forget, and it came during arguably the highlight of both players’ careers. Deadlocked in a 0-0 tie going into the 103rd minute of the 2014 Big Ten tournament final against Iowa, the Badgers earned a corner kick, setting the stage for an overtime winner. As McNicoll walked over to take the kick, she locked eyes with Lavelle, who told her to knock it in off the fly. Nodding in agreement, McNicoll lined it up and gave it a boot. Sure enough, the ball bent perfectly into the top right corner, stunning the Hawkeyes and giving Wisconsin their first conference crown since 2005. Unsurprisingly, Lavelle was the first to run over to McNicoll after it happened. “After I scored, I’m not going to say it suddenly felt like getting hit by a train, because she’s a really small person,” McNicoll joked. “But she knew I scored even before I did, and she was already in my arms basically.” It’s the kind of confidence that every successful leader needs to have in their teammates, and the same confidence that has allowed Lavelle to succeed again this season despite taking on a new role in the Wisconsin offense. Following the departure of star forwards Cara Walls and Kodee Williams, the Badgers have had to fill a goal-scoring void this season until the younger forwards can develop into reliable finishers up top. Lavelle has been called on to help the cause, and has responded with four goals in six games this season. Speaking for the offense as a whole and including herself in the conversation, Lavelle still sees plenty of room for improvement in the young season. “Right now, I still think we’re trying to get into the flow of things and get used to our new roles, but I think the transition is just something we’re going to have to deal with. It’ll be a challenge, but we’re up to it.” With Lavelle leading the attack, it’s hard to count the Badgers out for a sequel to the 2014 finish. And maybe for the Big Ten’s sake she’ll stop commanding her teammates to score clutch goals.

Seven inducted to Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame Former UW stars Devin Harris, Jim Leonhard, Brian Rafalski enshrined in UW history

by Chris Bumbaca Sports Editor

The University of Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame inducted its newest seven members on Sept. 11. Among the group were former high-profile athletes Devin Harris (men’s basketball) and Jim Leonhard (football), as well as Lizzy Fitzgerald (volleyball), Brian Rafalski (men’s hockey), Mike Gentile (men’s soccer), Kerry Weiland (women’s hockey) and Paula Bonner (administration). Jim Leonhard A perennial fan favorite, Leonhard is the perfect example of never letting size matter. The 5-foot-8 Leonhard didn’t draw much recruiting attention in Troy, Wisconsin, a town of 105. He still earned a walk-on spot on Barry Alvarez’s 2001 team, and by the time he was a senior, he was an All-American. From there, he enjoyed a 10-year NFL career with the Ravens, Saints Jets, Broncos and Browns. Leonhard and his family have since returned to Madison, where he remains involved with the football program. Devin Harris When people talk about the rise of the Wisconsin men’s basketball program, the conversation begins with Devin Harris. The introduction video that preceded his formal 34 • badgerherald.com • September 15, 2015

induction went so far to call Harris “the architect of the Badgers’ 21st century consistency.” The praise is well deserved. In his three seasons at UW, the Wauwatosa, Wisconsin native helped the Badgers to three Big Ten Championships (regular season titles in 2002 and 2003, tournament title in 2004). Harris earned Big Ten Player of the Year honors after that 2004 season, and declared a year early for the NBA Draft. He was selected fifth overall by the Dallas Mavericks. Harris has enjoyed a solid NBA career, and is back playing with the Mavericks after brief stints with the Nets, Jazz and Hawks. Brian Rafalski Rafalski was the lone member of the 2015 class that couldn’t attend the ceremony in Madison, but he still managed to make his presence felt. In between the third and fourth quarters of the Wisconsin football team’s 58-0 win over Miami (Ohio), Rafalski got all of Camp Randall hyped by introducing “Jump Around.” Despite being undersized, Rafalski was a standout defenseman for the men’s hockey team from 1991-95. He then played professionally from 1995-2009, winning three Stanley Cup titles and two silver medals on the United States’ Olympic team in 2002 and 2010. Paula Bonner Bonner is a staple at UW pep rallys. One of her many duties as president of the Wisconsin

Alumni Association is to pump up the crowd before a big event, and she takes that job seriously. Before becoming president of the WAA in 2000, Bonner served as an associate athletic director and oversaw the 11 women’s athletic programs. She was instrumental in enforcing Title IX policies and helping women’s athletics reach level playing fields with the men’s teams. Lizzy Fitzgerald Between all of the ceremonies and functions this weekend, Fitzgerald had the busiest. She also had to coach her Georgia volleyball team in two matches at the Badger Classic. The Bulldogs may have struggled, losing both of their matches, but it didn’t spoil the weekend for Fitzgerald. “It’s been overwhelming, humbling,” Fitzgerald said. “An emotionally draining weekend, that’s for sure.” Fitzgerald, one of UW’s most successful setters, was a pivotal player in the Badgers’ run to the NCAA Championship game in 2000. She’s also married to former Wisconsin football punter Kevin Stemke, who she met during her time in Madison. Mike Gentile When the phone rang and Gentile found out he had been selected to Wisconsin’s Hall of Fame, he thought it was a prank call. It wasn’t, though, and the captain of the 1995 Wisconsin men’s soccer team that won the program’s only national championship earned his

call to the hall. Gentile, now bald, joked that he missed his hair that had been on display during his highlight video. He also credited his teammates for that magical run in the fall of 1995. “If it wasn’t for them,” Gentile said, “I wouldn’t be here today.” Genitle was selected ninth overall in the 1996 MLS Draft and played professionally until 2002. Kerry Weiland Weiland was a trailblazer in every aspect of her life. She played on all-boys teams growing up in Alaska, and was a member of the Wisconsin women’s hockey programs first recruiting class. She was also the first All-American in program history. Weiland recanted the program’s evolution, and compared the current, state-of-the-art facilities to what her teams had to deal with. The team would have to start getting dressed in the visiting locker room at Camp Randall Stadium, but then would have to haul all of their equipment all the way to the Shell, where the team played before the construction of LaBahn Arena. “All of those memories of trekking, [these teams] will never have to do it,” Weiland said. “But they also won’t have the same bonding experience.” Weiland was a member of the 2010 Olympic squad that won a silver medal at Vancouver.

Women: they can do more than cripples

UW student claims women, contrary to popular belief, are part of ‘beautiful gender’ that has attributes far superior to those of cripples

Most women on this campus have faced some sort of sexism, whether it’s in the form of a having the door held for them by a classmate or being ogled by men wherever they go. The behavior shown towards females these days is no different than the behavior shown towards the handicapped. This homogeneous maltreatment of both ladies and the disabled is an appalling indignity to the weaker sex. This is the twenty-first century—it is time that women stand up and show that they are not cripples. Having a vagina does not equal having polio.

Women’s capabilities far exceed the potentials of the handicapped and, therefore, they should not receive the same treatment as cripples. For instance, women are highly skilled in areas such as vacuuming, standing, dancing and having hot bodies, whereas cripples can do none of the above. “Have you ever tried to imagine a cripple mopping a floor? Never gets old… But it’s humiliating and demeaning to all femalekind to be compared to that sort of thing,” feminist Heather Pearl said. Women are lumped into the same classification with cripples because they

Jewish-looking student forced to explain corned beef, pastrami differences UW Hillel chapter in uproar after student barred from eating Tensions flared between University Dining Staff at Gordon Dining hall and University of Wisconsin Hillel division after a “Jewish looking” freshman was not allowed to receive his proper serving size of corned beef after refusing to explain the difference between a platter of corned beef and a platter of pastrami. Spectators who watched the outrageous profiling occur seemed to think the profiling was warranted as the student had a two-day old role of Challah on his tray and a hamburger which he reportedly ordered specifically without cheese. The victim of such profiling claimed that just because he was wearing a shirt that said had a phrase in Hebrew on it, he was actually a devout Christian from northern Wisconsin and that his town actually did not in fact have a synagogue. His counter-argument was that if a Muslim had a shirt saying he loved two things, “Jesus and Aaron Rodgers,” he would be immediately profiled as well. He pleaded that just because he was scrawny, had a larger than average nose, and extremely curly, puffy brown hair did not necessarily

mean he was Jewish. But rather he was merely a product of his families’ genetics. UW Hillel, which prides itself on being the second oldest Hillel Foundation in the world, responded by saying while this kind of religious profiling is not unheard of, they had thought the countless meetings at SOAR about acceptance, diversity, and tolerance had meant that the school was beginning to turn the page on these traditional stereotyping issues. As a response to such an unfortunate event, UW Hillel sent the chief operating officials at Gordon Dining hall two pamphlets. The first, a packet from Jewish theologian Abraham Joshua Heschel explaining issues with religious profiling in the modern world. The second, a pamphlet from New York City’s most iconic delicatessen, Katz’ Deli, which has been specializing in corned beef and pastrami since 1888. On the pamphlet explaining the different meats sold by the deli was a note and gift card, saying that next time if they want to be rude and rye to students, they should have pastrami with a bit of mustard on it and not serve it on crappy white bread.

are thought not to be able to play sports, become leaders or operate vehicles. This is a common misconception. Recent studies have proven that although women show very poor performances in all of these activities, they still have the capacity to at least attempt these enterprises. Cripples can’t even try. Who is to blame for the low-expectations for and mistreatment of women? The barbaric tradition of “chivalry” is the perpetrator. The chivalric code was conceived in the dark-ages (when cripples were euthanized or kept hidden) and should no longer be a code by which men live. To live by these savage

rules today is to keep womenfolk down—so far down, in fact, that they are on the same level as modern-day cripples. To men everywhere: treat women like women and cripples like cripples. Women don’t need you to carry their books or wait for them to catch up—these are the needs of invalids. Females, unlike the handicapped, are very adept human beings. They can do many things on their own, without any help from anyone. That’s what makes them a unique and beautiful gender.
