GHOSTBUSTING NEAR CAMPUS
LOCAL HAUNTS Find yourself some frightening fun for Halloween
There are several reported haunted sites within driving distance of the Madison College campuses. As Halloween approaches, members of our staff decided to do a little ghostbusting of their own.
The Ghostbuster Team:
Ryan Spoehr – I believe there has to be some level of reality to some cases of ghosts sightings and anomalies like that. However, I will forever be a skeptic. I need to see it to believe. Michael Klein – I do believe in some
sort of an afterlife and who am I to say where all spirits go. Ghost stories are fun and produce some great campfire tales, if nothing else.
Old Baraboo Inn – Walnut Street in Baraboo Wis.
The Old Baraboo, est. 1864, is roughly 15 minutes away from the northern regional campuses and is located right between the Chicago and Minneapolis railway. Owner B.C Farr was kind enough to sit down with us and tell some stories. Spirits of cowboys, call girls, gamblers and gangsters allegedly come through and often stay at this former brothel. Mary is one

of the most well known spirits. She was a prostitute that worked and died here. From beyond the grave, she still likes to get frisky with customers, according to Farr. There were two owners that we knew had died at the inn before visiting. Farr said there were more but wouldn’t go into details. Also, two apartments are located above the bar. A couple currently rents one out and the other is available for shortterm guests looking to experience some haunted history. Farr discussed spiritual orbs that can be seen through cameras in the basement
The Watertown campus now has a small, temporary test turbine to measure the feasibility of the campus as a potential site for a wind turbine. This is solely an educational endeavor as there are no plans for a fullsized Watertown turbine at this time. The device is being erected as part of the one credit Wind Turbine Installation Class instructed by Christopher Folk. The class falls under the larger Introduction to Wind Energy Certificate Program. “The City of Watertown granted the college a Conditional Use Permit for it to be flown for a limited period of time, and it is to be removed by May of 2014,” Folk said. This particular device has also previously been installed at the Jefferson County Fair Park and the Bristol Town Hall north of Sun Prairie. The Wind Energy Program began in 2009 when a full-sized turbine was constructed at the Fort Atkinson Campus. The turbine is still fully operational and currently being maintained

Downtown cafeteria will again offer meals WILL SANDBERG Staff Writer Downtown Campus students will now be able to purchase hot meals and coffee without going off campus. Madison College, in coordination with the Business Enterprise Program has established a café that will serve coffee, freshly-made burgers, sandwiches, salads, soups and desserts. The café will begin operation by the end of the month and will be open from 7:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. It will be located in the old cafeteria, and all food will be prepared on site. The Business Enterprise Program is a part of the Department of Vocational
Rehabilitation working with both State and Federal Governments to assist visually disabled entrepreneurs in achieving gainful self-employment. Clerical Assistant and DTEC Store manager Don Wesolowski has had previous experience with a similar Business Enterprise Program-sponsored dining operation when he worked at US Forest Products Laboratory. “If it’s anything like that, it’s going to be great,” Wesolowski said. Madison College’s contract with BEP is not a monetary agreement. “We are allowing them use of the space in exchange for their providing food service for our students, fac» SEE MEALS PAGE 5

Search engines have software programs called “robots,” “crawlers” or “spiders” that crawl the Worldwide Web. They read web page codes, make a list of keywords and their location, and insert them into an index (similar to a book’s index.) Then they follow the links on that page, to a new page. When you do a search, you aren’t searching the whole web, just the index of that particular search engine. That’s why it’s so fast. Some information is hidden from search engines. This is called the “invisible web.” These pages block spiders from reading their pages with a special code. Examples are research databases that require a subscription or password, and secure sites like banks. Spiders can’t “see” pictures. They rely on tags or descriptions in the web pages’ code to determine what an image is about. Sites updated often, are crawled more frequently. A site might disappear or move before the spider returns, which is why sometimes your results include dead links. The search results are ranked so that hopefully, the most relevant items appear on top. The search engine determines this ranking using a set of computer instructions, or algorithms. This algorithm is a highly guarded secret, and each search
engine has its own. That’s why you get different results, using different search engines. (Although, Google is the most popular, there are others: Bing, Yahoo Search, Ask, Dogpile, About.com, Duck Duck Go and Info.com to name a few.) Algorithms take into consideration things like how often and where a keyword appears. For example, keywords in the title or URL, will get more weight. Pages that are updated often get a higher rank. Inbound links are also important. These are links on other sites, pointing to your site. More links is better, and if these other sites are deemed reputable, your site gets a higher ranking. Also remember, spiders crawl a page and then follow the links, so if there are no links, they might not find the page to begin with. (Search engines do offer the ability to submit a URL, but sometimes this takes time.) Top ranked sites have a higher probability of being read, so developers may employ Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
strategies to increase their rankings. To find out more, see the Libraries’ Common Craft video, “Search Engine Optimization” at http://libguides.madisoncollege.edu/ commoncraft. Generally, search engines work adequately, but here are tips for better results: Add more terms to make search more specific. Type most important term first. Try multiple search engines. Use phrase searching – surround terms with quotation marks so terms appear in that exact order. Example: “human resource management”. Since sites with .edu and .gov domains tend to be more credible (watch our HOWLER tutorial “Evaluating Online Information” at http://libguides.madisoncolelge.edu/HOWLER), limit search by domain. Type search term followed by “site: .gov” or “site:.edu”. Example: “diabetes site:.gov”. Also see our CommonCraft video, “Web Search Strategies” at http://libguides. madisoncollege.edu/commoncraft and our HOWLER tutorials “Performing Effective Searches” http://library.madisoncollege. edu/howler/effective/search.htm and “Google Scholar” at http://library.madisoncollege.edu/howler/google/scholar.htm for more information.

What’s happening?
clarionmedia@madisoncollege.edu
Public Safety officers respond to many calls for service and we enjoy sharing our activities with the college community. Here are some of the notable incidents from this past month. On Oct. 7, a Public Safety officer encountered a person at the Downtown Campus who previously had been banned from Madison College property. The person’s reason for being on campus was to recover a lost item. The officer was able to locate and return the lost item but then escorted the person from campus with a warning for trespassing. On Oct. 8, Public Safety received a complaint of a person making excessive noise while utilizing a computer at the Downtown Campus. Upon contact with the person, the Public Safety officer was able to identify and determine that the person was not a current student and removed the person from campus. Due to the visitor’s aggressive and profane demeanor and language when confronting the officer, the person was referred to the Madison College Behavioral Intervention Team for further action. On Oct. 14, Public Safety officers responded to a report of a stolen plasma cutter rig from the Truax Campus. The make and model of plasma cutter was unknown at the time of the report but it was blue in color and valued at $2,000. The plasma cutter was last seen on Oct. 7 and discovered missing on Oct. 11. If anyone has any information as to the whereabouts of the missing item, you are encouraged to contact Public Safety at (608) 245-2222.

Funding shortfall halts sports complex proposal TYLER RICHTER Staff Writer Madison College has formally announced it will not further pursue a project to build a multi-sport facility that would include a softball four-plex, baseball and soccer venues at the Truax campus. Earlier this month Tim Casper, the Assistant Vice President of Budget and Public Affairs, made the announcement Madison College had not received enough funding to begin the construction of the complex. According to Keith Cornille, the Vice President of Student
Development, a charitable organization approached Madison College a few months ago proposing to build the complex. The proposed project would have cost approximately $17 million, which was more than they could come up with. “The project was not going to come on the backs of students or taxpayers,” said Cornille, about the failure to fund the project. Had this project succeeded, it would have positively impacted Madison sports, from the intercollegiate level to intramural and recreational athletics, school officials said. Athletic Director
Steve Hauser said there could have been multiple uses for this facility, and not just for Madison College Athletics. “Unfortunately, numerous college and high school student-athletes as well as youth and families in our community will not benefit from the proposed complex,” Hauser said in a press release. “I cannot explain how disappointed I am.” Had the college received enough funding, the athletic complex would have been constructed where the baseball field is now. The original idea was to have the complex go up by the geothermal station, but the only area with enough space was where the baseball
field is now, and even then, they would have had to remove a couple of acres of trees to make room for the whole complex. Both Cornille and Hauser said there are no further plans to push the project forward and they don’t foresee it coming up in the near future. Their reasoning was that it would simply be too expensive without the private funding. Since they were approached by the charitable organization, and not the other way around, it would be up to the organization if they wanted to try again. However, both of them expressed that they would have loved to have it.

Group Health Cooperative nurse practitioner Allison Phillips shows the entryway to the new clinic inside the Traux Campus Health Education Building. Student use of the health services has increased since the move.
New location means more traffic for services provided by GHC clinic JESSICA KEOPHILAVANH Staff Writer So far in the 2013-14 school year, official numbers are not out on attendance at the new Group Health Cooperative facility at Truax, but reports say there is an upward trend in the number of people who are seeking care through the clinic. “GHC is reporting that the clinic (at Madison College) is busier than it has ever been,” said Scot Vesterdahl, the school’s director of fitness, health and recreation. The new clinic opened earlier this year after a trailer on the north side of Truax adjacent to Stoughton Road. There was a 77 percent increase in clinic visits, 1252 in 2012-2013, compared to the previous year’s 707. The new clinic has had increasing numbers, and with student enrollment increasing, Vesterdahl said he will continue to reach out to students to support their health. Since fall of 2011, more than 800 students have been seen for cold or flu like symptoms, representing more than 30 percent of the total visits. A percentage like that can imply a significant threat to students and faculty members with the spread of infections and disease, he said. Many of these
visits could have been prevented with a flu shot. Vesterdahl encourages students to make use of the clinic and be seen when necessary because it is there for people who don’t feel well. “There is no long wait. (Students) come first, and students’ experiences have been good,” Vesterdahl said. “Even students on their parents’ or spouses’ health care can also be seen with no additional cost or need to consult other healthcare providers. As long as the services they need don’t go beyond the services that are provided.” Students enrolled in degree credit courses at Truax, Downtown, West, South and Truax automatically have access to the clinic and do not have to pay to be seen. Every student who is taking degree credits at Madison College has fees taken out as part of their tuition, a portion of those fees go to benefiting students with basic health care. This means that students who are not going to the clinic are wasting money. “If you are not in a degree program you can buy into GHC for a fee of $75,” said Scot Vesterdahl. The new building provides services to treat anything from a cold to providing antibiotics for infections, and most of their services are provided at no extra charge to the students.
On Sept. 11, Group Health Coopertive (GHC) held an open house for their new health care clinic. The new facility is a large upgrade from the “old trailer.” “The open house was well attended, and a success,” he said. A greater number of students attended the open house than expected, partially due to the efforts leading up to the event and partially because people could actually find it, Vesterdahl said. “Students are becoming more aware of the clinic because they can see the building better, and it’s located right across the street from the new Gateway entrance,” he said. To promote the new building, the clinic handed out business cards with information about their services and hours of operation. They also had table tents informing students about the new facilities, and flyers to put on the windshields of students’ cars. Vesterdahl said he plans on collaborating with health care educators, clubs and organizations not only to inform students about their health, but also to keep them up to date on any changes in healthcare. Vesterdahl said he will work to discover what will engage students find out what works for the students to get their attention.
Having a place to call home is a comforting thought to many. For renters in Wisconsin, home will have changed, according to the new laws outlined in the recent passing of SB 179. Though the streets of Madison are fairly clear, the pathways to storefronts are peppered with homeless people. This, combined with the change of renters’ rights and the current availability of livable space in the city, will either shape new ideas to expand fair housing or fail to adequately encompass the needs of Madison’s residents. Brenda Konkel has been the executive director of the Tenant Resource Center since 1995. Konkel’s knowledge shows objectivity but little hope for creating a community of 100 percent housed citizens. The Resource Center was brought about to fill the need of giving information to citizens, in opposition to union organized rent strikes. The center has opened its doors to create opportunities to solve housing concerns for the renting population of our city. Konkel said that the biggest issues people call about are eviction, repairs, security deposits and breaking a lease, but that they will answer just about any question. The outreach that the Resource Center has provided has served as a tool to keep an open line of communication between renters and landlords. But what about the new laws passed, such as SB 179, and what does that mean for renters? Konkel describes the impact of these recent renters’ laws. “Low vacancy rates means higher rents, less incentive to make repairs, more people being screened out of the application process for minor things and, I believe, more opportunity for discrimination,” Konkol said. “Landlords often have waiting lists for their apartments and can just move on to the next application if they see anything they don’t like about a tenant.” However, she said the changes in the eviction process worry her the most. She is concerned about the sheriff not being involved in the eviction action and landlords being able to “immediately” evict a tenant after they go to court. For Madison and Dane County residents, there will be more than 70 changes between 2011 Wis Act 108, 2011 Wisconsin Act 143 and SB 179. Suppose a resident is displaced, there are fewer options than in the past for relocating. Konkel said the minor uptick in the third quarter of this year is not enough to be hopeful - we need to build 600 units per year, and thousands more to catch up, to get back to a healthy five percent vacancy rate. Where landlords will not have the upper hand, but there will be a more level playing field. If an issue does occur between a tenant and the property owner, Konkel advises to check out tenantresourcecenter.org even if you think you know the laws.

SPOTLIGHT ON THE CHESS CLUB
Make your next move, play chess
An instructor’s daily routine of standing helps health NATALIE SOWL

Graphic Designer
Copy Editor Now in its eighth year, the Madison College Chess Club was founded in 2005 when faculty advisor George Alexander became a math instructor at Madison College. At the Oct. 16 Chess Club meeting, Alexander observed as Treasurer Ien Roder-Guzman played first time attendee Kham Thee Thao, and President Jesse Allen battled the artificial intelligence of a computer game. Alexander has been involved with chess throughout most of his life, beginning in middle school when his uncle taught him how to play. Alexander’s own children played this “family friendly activity” from elementary school all through high school. “Now I’m the one in the family still doing it,” Alexander declared. While coaching chess at Madison East High School in the mid 2000s, Alexander met Roder-Guzman, who was a high school student at the time. “We did some high school state championships together,” Alexander stated. “I’ve been taking kids to Wisconsin scholastic championships for the last 15 years.” Last spring Alexander and five Madison College students, including Roder-Guzman, attended a chess tournament at Milwaukee Area Technical College. “We found tougher competition than we expected,” Alexander stated. Students from Madison College, Milwaukee Area Technical College and Marquette University competed in the tournament, which included some “very challenging individuals,” according to Roder-Guzman. “It was a great atmosphere,” he said of the experience. Allen, one of the top rated chess players in Wisconsin, did not attend last semester’s field trip to Milwaukee. He had already participated in three tournaments within the span of a month and was taking a break. Allen, who began playing chess in elementary school, is currently rated 31 in Wisconsin, according to the United States Chess Federation. Allen explained their rating system. “Each game, you get a rating based on the rating of your opponent and how well you did. Then that continues to be added, like a history.” Allen stated that ratings help tournament directors match up competitors. “When I started out I was very lowly rated and wasn’t that good, and over a period of time I’ve become better. My rating has improved to show that.” Chess Club has tentative plans to attend a college team tournament at UW Oshkosh on Nov. 23. They’ll need five students in order to participate. Alexander encourages anyone interested in chess to attend a club meeting. “We’re open to all ability levels.” Alexander continued, “We have, even among the four of us here today, a very wide range of skill levels. So anybody who walks in the door, we could get a reasonable matchup in ability.”

Ien Roder-Guzman was one of the Madison College students who competed in a Milwaukee-area tournament last year. He is the current treasurer of the Madison College Chess Club. Students interested in joining Chess Club may attend weekly Wednesday meetings from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Truax campus in room C1408. Even students with no prior experience are welcome to join Chess Club. “We would work on teaching the rules and the basics of the game.” Those who cannot attend the Wednesday afternoon gaming sessions can still play at school. The Truax library keeps two chess sets on reserve for short-term checkout. Alexander pointed out that, with
its many private rooms and quiet nooks, the new library is the perfect environment for playing chess. Students still on the fence should consider Alexander’s words. “It’s not just for geeks. If you’re looking to expand your mental capabilities, it’s good training and exercise.” Roder-Guzman added, “It also builds patience. It builds problemsolving skills and forward thinking.” Students may contact Alexander at galexander@madisoncollege.edu 608-246-6187 or via The LINK. Checkmate.
John Galligan begins each day early. The Madison College English instructor sits at his desk in the wee hours of dawn brainstorming and writing fiction. But Galligan has much more in store for the day, and this may be the last time he sits down for any length of time. Galligan has been teaching at Madison Area Technical College for the past 27 years. His career experiences include writing five novels, newspaper reporting, screenwriting, and photography. As an accomplished author, he guides students through such courses are Creative Writing-Fiction, and English 1. Though he’s currently teaching five classes, in addition to a daily diligence in personal writing, he agreed to meet with me to discuss his unusual working style. When Galligan gets to his office at the downtown Madison College campus, he doesn’t settle down at his desk, or sink into a comfy chair for a few hours of essay grading. Instead, he stands and works. For the past two years, Galligan’s school day starts and ends with standing. His office desk adjusts and is calibrated neatly to his six-footone-inch frame. His office mate came up with the idea to stand, and got permission from the facilities. The college provided the desk, excited and supportive of Galligan mission to invigorate his mind through active work. The desk can be set to multiple heights, and is currently placed at chest level, giving Galligan a clear view of the deeping fall outside his window. Galligan, when in his office, can be found standing while typing and answering emails. There is a regular desk, crammed into the cubicle of space behind Galligan, looking unused and forgotten. The top of his standing desk however is littered with signs of a hardworking teacher. Headphones rest on a stack of papers, and the phone blinks with awaiting voicemails. This isn’t a place for relaxing. “When I stand up, I am all business,” Galligan said. “I don’t mess around at all. And so get my work done faster, I think I stay more focused.” Greater focus may lead to a more productive day, but there are other reasons Galligan stands up. The habit began in graduate school, when Galligan used to retreat to the library to write his papers. “I’d go back in the stacks, and clear myself a spot, and stand up back there,” Galligan said. “I just found it easier. Back then I would fall asleep, it’d be late at night and I’d be trying to write a paper, and you can’t really fall asleep standing up.” Galligan made standing part of his work routine about two years ago, and has even inspired others to take on this method. Though not everyone is initially receptive to the idea of the spending the entire day on their feet. People are mostly surprised, Galligan said. They assume it to be difficult or tiring. But the opposite seems to be true for Galligan and research confirms that sitting can be deadly. A 2009 study of over 17,000 participants found that those who spent a large part of their day sitting, were 54 percent more likely to die of a heart attack than those who did not sit for long periods. Galligan said he plans to continue working standing, and says it helps his body, as well as his mind. He said standing helps him bring awareness to minor ailments that he might miss if he was sitting down. His active lifestyle extends outside of the office as well. Galligan bikes, swims, walks and does yoga. And the main difference between sitting and standing work, is the freedom to move. “To me, it involves a lot more motion,” Galligan said. “When I’m standing up, I might walk over there and come back, I might turn around, I might have on music, I might dance a little bit. I think part of it is that there there’s a lot more spontaneity and fluidity to your body language when you’re standing up.”

Dodge is also the campus manager for the Fort Atkinson campus, which has a turbine of its own. The Fort Atkinson turbine may take as many as 20 years to pay for itself. Folk said the turbine as an example of the college’s commitment to sustainability. He also said there is an increased possibility of students becoming more involved in maintenance in the near future. “However there are other things to consider such as the reduction of greenhouse gases as a result of our

The contract will complete at the end of the semester, at which time the college will reassess the viability of the collaboration. The college was forced to close the previous school-operated dining facility as well as the Downtown bookstore at the beginning of the semester as a result of major financial losses incurred through operating costs. However, the school acknowledged the necessity of nutritious, on-campus meals for busy students and has planned, and is administering a solution just halfway through the semester. Although the Downtown Campus does not stand to profit from this venture, Paris says the gains will be made in terms of nourished students and faculty as well as the reward of help-
installation and the educational value to not only our students but to the community as well,” Folk said. Although employment numbers in the renewable energy field currently make up a tiny portion of the American work force, so called “green jobs” have seen extraordinary growth in recent years according to a report published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Employment rates in the green sector have even surpassed that of the healthcare field according to the report. If you are interested in a career in sustainable, renewable energy with promising employment opportunities, Madison College’s Introduction to Wind Energy Certificate may be exactly what you are looking for. Classes are offered at Truax and Watertown campuses and cover topics such as site assessment, turbine installation and maintenance.
ing generate adequate income for the disabled vendors. “We will have a more welcoming gathering space where students can meet over a cup of coffee or have lunch together,” Paris said. Student Lab Assistant Bill Herbst, 35, has had many students share their concern about the lack of food options on campus. “There used to be a room right above us,” Herbst said. “Now I just wait until I get home.” Herbst, like many others, is unimpressed with the quality of the food options in the vending machine. However, he was disappointed to find out the café doesn’t operate during the evening hours when he works. “It’s not going to help me, but at least it’s here for somebody,” he said. Students can look forward to exceptional quality coffee provided by the local Just Coffee Cooperation. The supplier was selected Madison’s Favorite Coffee Roaster for 2010-2014 as well as Madison Magazine’s Best Silver Medal for 2013.
where the majority of paranormal activity occurs. Customers are no longer allowed down there because of unauthorized video sales but he did allow The Clarion a glimpse. An event will be hosted for aspiring ghost seekers on Oct. 25 and photos will be available online. Spoehr: I was skeptical when I first saw the setup. To a certain extent, I still am. We could not verify if it was a live feed. Lights going across the screen could be explained by dust particles flying through the room. However, we were looking at the screen for approximately 15 minutes. If it was indeed a live feed, it does seem unusual that the amount of “orbs” we saw could go rapidly and sustain that movement for that amount of time. Unless that basement was dusty, there may have legitimately been paranormal orbs in the basement. I cannot confirm Old Baraboo Inn is haunted, but I cannot deny it either. Whether Old Baraboo Inn is haunted or not, I feel like the trip to Old Baraboo Inn was worth it just for the sake of the history of it. The bar is located across the street from the old Baraboo rail station. The railway that goes through Baraboo goes from the Twin Cities to Chicago, and Baraboo is near the center of the route. The Old Baraboo Inn was a frequent stop for people like Al Capone and John Dillinger back in the day, as far back as when it was a brothel in the early 20th century. There is even the wanted poster for John Dillinger inside. Studying history is a hobby of mine, so it was intriguing to see that and hear stories from the bartender that were told to him over the years. Klein: After a few disappointing stops prior to pulling up at the inn, I was growing skeptical of any paranormal presence wanting to intermingle. However, it took only a few moments after stepping inside to realize this was going to be different. My short-sleeved shirt wasn’t serving me too well but the chill I felt after sitting at the bar was unlike anything I’d ever experienced. The hair on my neck was up and tingles shot up my right side. These moments seemed to match when Farr was experiencing the same. Over the limited time we were able to spend at the pub there was one experience that helped alleviate most of my skepticisms. While watching the basement videos, I felt a strong and unexplainable grazing near my ankle. After quickly looking around to make sure I wasn’t being messed with. It felt like a cat just brushed up on my leg and it was enough for me to think there was more than us living patrons here.
Ridgeway, Wisconsin
The town has a long and documented reputation for being haunted, as is obvious by the ghost drawn on the water tower. There are stories, dating back to the mid 1800s, of a shape-shifting apparition
named the Ridgeway Phantom. Some claim to see large orbs, a headless man and even animal spirits. An alleged victim of the Ridgeway Phantom named John Lewis even made it to the pages of the “New York Times,” back in 1902. Less than a decade later, the town went up in flames and added to its spooky aura. Spoehr: The Clarion’s recent trip to Ridgeway was rather strange. We were near the water tower and woods that has been the scene of many sightings. When we walked through the wooded area, there was something strange. There were frequent noises, much like footsteps, off in the distance and falling branches. The strangest thing was they seemed to be equally timed intervals of roughly a minute between each cracking noise. That seems too perfect. However, it could have been anything. Wooded areas do have animals frequent them from time to time. There was barbed wire hidden underneath an overlying branch just as you walk into the woods. It was just a strip, enough to trip a person, or me, while walking into the area. That doesn’t prove or disprove paranormal activity, but I thought it was a unique placement. It was almost if it was to whet our appetites. Klein: While going by the old train station, I caught a glimpse of a moving shadowy figure inside. After I yelled to the others, I couldn’t locate it again. Perhaps it was my own shadow or anticipation. The woods were, for the most part, uneventful. There was an old deer stand and that random barbed wire. I did hear the branches cracking but say no signs of anything living or dead.
Sanitarium
Once known as the Lake View Tuberculosis Sanitarium, Sanatorium Hill on 1202 Northport Drive is supposed to be one of the most haunted places in the state. Visitors to the cemetery and woods have claimed to feel a strange presence that can even get aggressive.
Capitol
Way back in Nov. 1883, during expansion of the Capitol’s south wing, numerous workers were injured or killed. Many visitors claim to experience cold spots in random spots throughout the area and hear random unexplainable noises. Some feel they are being closely followed and always watched.
The Narrows (Sauk County)
There have been reports of ghostly animal noises in the wind and other unexplainable occurrences. The Narrows is located on a random spot of the highway and is easy to miss. Additionally, there is a story of a homely looking hitchhiker that reappears to drivers multiple times as they’re on a one-way trip. Klein: The sounds I heard where indistinguishable and I wasn’t sure whether it was the swirling winds having a highpitched whistle or if it was the spirits I read about. The wind was definitely swirling but it didn’t seem out of the ordinary.

Need relationship advice? DANIEL HERRON Multimedia Editor
P
eople are complex. We are intricate, chaotic systems, and understanding us is difficult. Coordinating two systems into something resembling a functional relationship is so hard that most people fail in the long run. Add in the fact that, if you’re reading this, you’re probably a college student with tests, studying, car problems, roommates that eat your food, a parttime job and financial troubles, and it is no surprise that a big chunk of us, when asked about dating, simply reply that we don’t have the time. However, depending on which study you believe, somewhere between 15 percent and 40 percent of all marriages start at school. If you take a bunch of young people, first coming into adulthood, first meeting others that are as smart as they are, first meeting people that share their same interests, and add a bunch of stress, it is no wonder that they fall into bed together, if not in love. But how do you approach that person you have a crush on? How do you deal with breakups, and the drama that
might follow if they are in the same class? In this series of articles, I will attempt to address the most common relationship issues facing Madison College students, as well as answering any questions you as the reader have for me. I should note that most of the advice that will appear in this column will be universally applicable unless I state otherwise; men and women, gay and straight, promiscuous or reserved, poly or monogamous, vanilla or kinky and all shades between, everything you see here should help. Listed below, there are some common pointers for any successful relationship. I’ll be going into more detail on each of these later, but this is an awesome place to start, whether you’re looking for the love of your life or just someone to keep you warm tonight. But what I’m mostly here for is giving advice. If you have questions, either general or specific, feel free to send them to herron@madisoncollege.edu. Please specify if you are comfortable being mentioned in the Clarion or not; either way I will get back to you. That’s all I have for now, good luck out there.
TIPS and TRICKS
to meet your mate (and keep them) 1) Communicate. Talk to people you are interested in. You never know what’s going on in their lives. 2) Be an adult. Try not to obsess over someone, or get heartbroken if they turn you down. 3) Be brave. If you never ask, you’ll never know. 4) Be the person your partner will want. Figure out what you want in a partner, imagine who they would be attracted to, become that person. 5) Communicate. Successful relationships depend almost entirely on open communication. 8) Get out there. Don’t sit at home playing on your Xbox. 9) Get good at it. Navigating relationships is a skill. Work at improving it. 10) Communicate. No, really.

Disrespecting women is a bad way to get their attention ELLEN LUND Staff Writer
S
peaking as a woman, catcalling from strange men is something that happens to me on a fairly regular basis. I’ve been spending a lot of time on State Street lately, seeing as to how I have class at the downtown campus. Just this past week, I was walking to the parking ramp on Carroll Street when a man biked past me and yelled, “You know I want a piece of that!” I shrugged it off and kept walking, figuring he had said what he had to say. Much to my surprise, he found a driveway to turn around in and started biking back towards me. I was already put off by his demeaning “compliment” which “bothered” me from my body by referring to a part of my anatomy separately from the rest of me, and now on top of that I was nervous as to what his intentions were by coming back to me. This man was quite a bit larger than me, and though I like to believe that people are essentially good, I couldn’t help but start planning what I would do if he came at me physically. To make a long story short, he walked next to me to the end of the block, explaining why he said what he said, again by objectifying me and referring to my body as “that,” requested my phone number, and departed peaceably when I declined. That was the first time that something like that had happened, where someone had actually done more than just make a comment in passing, and I don’t know if he wanted me to feel flattered, but I was just uncomfortable and a little bit scared. Catcalling isn’t exclusive to any part of the country, as far as I can tell. In the past year, I lived in New Jersey for two months, and their form of catcalling seemed to be honking their horn as you walk down the street. That one really got to me. I don’t know what I’m supposed to get from someone honking their horn at me as I walk on the sidewalk, but it certainly doesn’t make me feel flattered or complimented, just startled and annoyed. Some may say that because no one has ever
gone farther than verbal comments or car honking or gestures that it’s not so bad and that I should be complimented when someone feels so compelled by how I look that they need to call out, but I don’t. I don’t know of any people that do. Catcalling by anyone to anyone is devaluing. Madison is a relatively safe city, but responding in any way to those doing the catcalling can be a tricky line to walk. If it happens that you respond in a negative way and snap like it sometimes makes me want to do, it is not unheard of in this country for things to escalate to violence. I am not trying to say that everyone should walk around in a constant state of defensive paranoia for fear of strangers. Most people are quite kind and decent, but the fact that there is the possibility of catcalling or, in the worst case, assault and more is enough for some people to feel uncomfortable when they are trying merely to get from point A to point B, and that just sucks. Again in this past week, I was walking down State Street on my way to my car when someone that I didn’t know decided to remark on my appearance, but this time the man just said, “That’s a cute jacket,” and left it at that. I thanked him and kept walking. I didn’t feel uncomfortable or objectified, just pleased that he seemed to like my favorite jacket as much as I do. Normally my default reaction to catcalling is not to react, but since this man happened to find something positive to say about my appearance that wasn’t offensive or demeaning, I treated him with the same respect he treated me. Basically, catcalling is intrusive, rude, demeaning, and often comes off as threatening or predatory. Don’t do it. It doesn’t matter how you identify on the gender spectrum. If you happen to be walking somewhere and see someone that you feel you absolutely must say something to, approach them calmly, don’t get in their personal space, and give them a respectful compliment like, “Great hair!” or “Sweet shoes!” If they seem like they’re not into it, back off and go on with your day. No one deserves to feel uncomfortable just walking around in public, no matter how they look or what they are wearing.

H
appy Halloween everyone! I hope your costumes are as much fun as mine. This year I’m going to be a zombie robot unicorn that has mutated with a lion. OK, well, I couldn’t find a costume like that on short notice, but it would be awesome, right? Sadly, I’ll most likely be at home studying or editing photos.
Yes, I’ll be working when all the little children are out getting candy with their adorable/creepy little costumes. Maybe I won’t do any work at all and just play some World of Warcraft. Also, before you get any ideas, I am not a dork; I’m a level 90 night elf warrior. Maybe that is what I should go as ... With only two classes, studying
should be pretty easy. It’s the photo editing that’s going to kill me. The joys of having a photography business. Trying to run a business, go to school and manage a newspaper really takes your free time away. Somehow, I still have fun. Whether it’s shooting fellow newspaper staff with Nerf darts or playing “Family Guy” clips, we still have fun.
Are we giving out too much information in social media? JASON MILLIS Copy Editor
H
ow many tidbits of your life did you share today before you read this week’s issue of The Clarion? Did you post a photo of your last meal on Instagram? Did you upload some pictures to your Facebook page? Did you check in to a restaurant last night on Foursquare? Did you review that same restaurant on Yelp? Did you update your LinkedIn profile with your latest job information? What was your latest thought that you tweeted? Social media and social networking can have advantages. The largest growing demographic of Facebook are people 50 years or over, likely those who might want to connect with their kids or grandkids, according to a Pew research study. The problem that emerges now is people over-share information that no one needs to know, and information that, in the wrong hands, could be dangerous. Earlier, the information released by Edward Snowden, formerly of the NSA, about the NSA PRISM program outraged many people because of the amount of information that they gathered without a warrant. Due to people over-sharing, who needs PRISM? Anyone these days can find out massive amounts of information on a person just by looking at their social media. Their Facebook alone could give information on where they might be and what they might be interested in going to in the future. On Facebook, many people will accept friend requests from people who they don’t know. Nothing says the profile belongs to the name that is on it. You can “stalk” people over Foursquare and Facebook too. Twitter can be valuable for information. People often update their Twitter pages with where they are, who they talk to and what they plan to do. People also have public conversations over Twitter. This stuff also doesn’t go away either. You deal with people who re-post your information, and people who save the photos as well. Websites like http://www.archive.org save information that you might not wish to be saved for the viewing of future generations. Those videos you uploaded to YouTube will be up there for a while too. The Library of Congress is actually starting to collect all tweets, and Instagram almost got the rights to any photos that you post up there.
Buying free speech ANDREA DEBAUCHE Opinion Editor
O
ILLUSTRATION BY CHRISTOPHER PINKERT
n Oct. 8, the Supreme Court heard the arguments for McCutcheon v. Federal Election Committee, concerning the limit an individual can donate to political campaigns. Shaun McCutcheon, a wealthy Alabaman political donor who was then backed by the Republican National Committee, raised the case. The issue is not how much McCutcheon can donate to one individual candidate — that is being left at $2,600 per candidate per election. He instead is arguing to increase the total amount he can donate to his party in one 2-year election cycle. As of now, the total amount any donor can give is roughly $117,000, total, for all donations to candidates or political committees, including a $46,000 limit specifically to candidates. But McCutcheon said these limits should be lifted so as to allow him to donate up to the maximum amount per candidate, for as many candidates as he’d like to give to. I don’t know about you, but this is starting to smell fishy. With unlimited personal funds being given by only the wealthiest few in the country, this could enable corruption, such as large-scale bribing, and give those wealthy few too much influence in our country’s elections. Many of the current restrictions have been in place since
1974, after the Watergate Scandal. Around this time, the Federal Election Commission was created, and laws for monitoring campaign contributions were enacted. Starting in the ‘70s, candidates had to disclose the sources of their donations, and created restrictions for individual donations such as the ones being challenged here. The last several years have shown similar objections to contribution restrictions, such as the most recent case in 2010 of the Citizens United v. Federal Election Committee. The issue is this case was whether corporations should be able to fund political campaigns. The decision was in favor of challengers of the restriction, indeed allowing corporate donations. The case was given to them because the Supreme Court decided that restrictions would infringe on these entities’ right of free speech. However, there has been a lot of criticism of this decision. President Obama has expressed his disapproval, saying that letting this case slide has allowed for further challenges of campaign restrictions, such as the current McCutcheon v. FEC. Letting these restrictions become too lax could lead to the corruption or excessive individual influence that they were created to avoid. McCutcheon and the Republican National Committee defend their case by arguing the extent of their right to free speech. Contributors, such as McCutcheon, exercise this right by associating themselves via their donations to the politicians they support. However, when certain people can exercise over $100,000 more worth of free speech than the average citizen, it’s a good idea to set up laws to monitor their political influence. The laws only limit what individuals can directly donate to political campaigns; they’re still able to exercise their free speech by donating to outside political fundraising organizations or through other means.

Sleepy Hollow Adaptation of legendary story comes to television
About the new show
20th Century Fox Television
FANTA SYLLA Staff Writer It is 1781, and a battle of the Revolutionary War pits a young soldier, Ichabod Crane, against his yet-to-be-beheaded adversary, the Headless Horseman. In this first scene of Sleepy Hollow’s pilot both soldiers end up dying. Fastforward 232 years, and Ichabod Crane awakes from the dead in a modern-day Sleepy Hollow. We also meet the other main

More chaos and gore in store for second season of ‘The Walking Dead’ There has been plenty of bloodshed and gore thus far in season four of AMC’s “The Walking Dead.” This season’s debut brought in an astounding number of viewers An entirely new threat arises this season and seems, so far at least, to be more of a threat than the walkers. Something has cryptically infiltrated the solitude of the prison and is killing off characters. Of course, this ensures their reawakening as flesh devourers and even more chaos for the group. During the season premiere, Rick encounters an unsettling woman concerned with her and her husband’s safety. Her unsettling demeanor and actions weren’t as surprising as Rick’s reaction to them and his apparent compassion for the witch-like woman. Many viewers complained that last season dragged for stretches and it seemed like some of the new season’s convoluted scenes were going to cause more impatience amongst fans.

stands on its own two feet. If there are few spectacular deaths and gory moments (amazing John Cho appearance), Sleepy Hollow’s scare tactic doesn’t rely on shock value. The horror is hidden and springs from the woods and caves of the town. An invisible evil force is behind this. A force that resurrects vengeful witches, spreads disease and controls what happens to be the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The show tackles contemporary basic fears of foreign invasion, disease and doomed future. Though it handles such twisty themes, the show doesn’t take itself too seriously. Ichabod Crane anachronistic situation is a natural source of comic relief. We see his bewildered 18th century self struggling to adapt itself to modern life. His outdated accent, clothes and haircut contribute to the show’s overall quirkiness. The banter and relationship between Abbie Mills and Ichabod Crane (played by fresh faces Nicole Beharie and Tom Mison) is why we care about the story, and why we stay in Sleepy Hollow with them.

to improve their relationship, as their trust for one another grows. This will likely mean a larger role for Carl this season, while the rest of the children try to learn that zombies make terrible pets. As for the new cast of characters, only time will tell how long they will be around. If most of the returning cast remains in tact, I personally don’t care how many newcomers survive the season. Warning! PETA and those squeamish to violence toward animals may want to turn away from Rick and Daryl’s tactic for getting rid of the increasing number of walkers. The teaser for next week’s show left viewers with the image of two incinerated bodies and an even more terrified group. Overall, this season has the potential to be one of the best and I suggest that people looking for a good zombie themed Halloween treat check it out this weekend. – MICHAEL KLEIN
merican Horror Story returned Oct 9 for its third season with “AHS: Coven” and airs weekly on FX at 9 p.m. Wednesdays. Series creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk bring us another season of compelling television that, so far, has already exceeded its high expectations. AHS is an anthology series and is unique as each season is entirely different in terms of setting and plot. Many of the actors return every season as a main character, giving the audience a sense of familiarity. “Coven” begins in 1834 New Orleans where we meet Madame LaLaurie, played by Kathy Bates, a very wealthy and truly heinous woman who goes to extremes to look younger in an attempt to keep a husband that is already seeking the company of younger women.

This coincidence will lead to an inevitable pairing-off between Lt. Mills and Ichabod Crane. An adaptation of Washington Irving’s short story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”, the FOX show departs from its source as well as its cliché premise of “quiet town suddenly shattered by supernatural events” by mingling the original gothic story with religious mythology and American history. Sleepy Hollow stands in the great tradition of genre TV that explores supernatural and fantasy subjects: Supernatural, X-Files, Buffy TVS, Charmed, and Twin Peaks. The music of the title sequence is reminiscent of Danny Elfman’s style and is a subtle shout-out to Tim Burton who also adapted Irving’s story in 1999. As the episodes go, the show ceases to be just an amalgam of its influences and

Carrie

Film Feature
CARRIE COMEBACK 1976 ORIGINAL VS 2013 REMAKE
By TOM RICHARDSON Staff Writer The Halloween season is a very special time for the horror film genre. It is also a special time for horror author Stephen King, who’s work is very popular amongst many. Carrie was King’s first novel, and it still remains as one of his more notable books to date. Carrie was first turned into a film by Brian De Palma in 1976, and now it has gotten the film adaptation treatment again, with a 2013 remake. With De Palma’s version being very dark, creepy, and original for it’s time. This new remake has a lot to compete with. But which version is truly the better version of this Stephen King classic for Halloween viewing? Both adaptations center on an outcast high school girl named Carrie White, who possesses a unique telekinetic ability, but is slightly misinformed on some major life aspects. Carrie’s overly-religious mother only wants Carrie to go to school, and to immediately come back home to study and pray to God. When several girls get caught making fun of Carrie in the girl’s locker room, the school’s gym teacher suspends them, and they lose their privileges to go to the school prom. For
MACHETE KILLS It’s a simple formula, really, one that appeals to our most base urges. That’s why grind-house movies are so successful. Put nudity, sex, violence and an over-the-top plot in a blender, add some nostalgia and a bit of self-aware humor and you have a movie that people like me love to see. I loved the first Machete, and when I came into the second expecting more of that same winning mix, Director Robert Rodriguez didn’t disappoint. Mostly. The first clue I had that he had moved away from that winning formula was in the production quality of the opening scene. Machete Kills broke with grind-house trope by having clear, modern production quality open scenes, rather than ones artificially aged in postproduction like every other movie in the
revenge, the high school kids who hate Carrie hatch a scheme against her that will make her think that she is prom queen, but things will inevitably end in a bloody mess. The original 1976 film possessed a very creepy and disturbing feeling throughout it’s runtime, especially once things took a much darker direction. Sissy Spacek’s performance as Carrie White is still very memorable to this day, as she was both effectively shy and creepy in the role. The original film also had an interesting approach on telekinesis, as it managed to feel very new and original for it’s time. Some minor criticisms that some may have with the original “Carrie” is the over-the-top performance by Piper Laurie as Carrie’s mother; as well as some dated special effects that some modern-day movie goers might dislike. Some of the film’s sound effects feel ripped from Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho” at times. In the new remake from director Kimberly Peirce, many viewers will love the fact that Stephen King’s work remains contemporary to this day. Certain story elements even feel accurately modernized, with the use of iPhones, and current rule establishments in high schools. Julianne Moore’s performance
as Carrie’s mother will feel like an improvement over Piper Laurie’s performance for some viewers, as Moore gives the character more realism, and though she does get extreme with her actions, like her character did in the book, it doesn’t feel as over-the-top. Judy Greer’s performance as the Gym Teacher, feels like an improvement over the original also. Like most remakes, certain viewers are going to hate certain aspects of the re-imagining. When it comes to the remake, it’s immediate problem is not being as scary as the 1976 original. Certain scenes feel like they belong in a “dark action” film like “Underworld,” but they should feel horrific. The film sometimes breaks some of the book’s telekinesis rules, just to make some of the new content work. Though Chloe Moretz is very good at portraying Carrie, some might find her to be too cute for the role. Carrie is the first novel from Stephen King, and it’s very close to heart for several King fans. For those who are looking for the best “Carrie” experience on film for this halloween season, make sure to watch the 1976 classic over the remake.
family so far. My worries were quieted somewhat by the ridiculous nature of the first conflict, and I settled back to enjoy the show. For the most part, Rodriguez delivered. The violence was gory, gratuitous and, at moments, truly silly. Innuendo and foul language abounded, the plot was creative and interesting while still following
closely the conventions of the genre, and the writing and acting were that wonderful mix of good and self-aware awful that is only possible in a grindhouse flick. However, one thing was missing. The original Machete was as infamous for it’s abundant nudity as for it’s gore and minimalist plot. Machete Kills, on the other hand, is bereft of any nudity except for a few scenes of a topless Danny Trejo and a five-second sex scene that might have been enjoyable had I dropped acid first. A lot of acid. So, if you want to watch a movie with racism, violence, ridiculous plot and plenty of gore, sans boobs, then go ahead and spend your ten bucks. If you’re looking for some skin there are plenty of options elsewhere, and perhaps you should save your money for the unrated DVD.

CURSE OF CHUCKY Everyone is afraid of something, whether it be spiders, clowns, or even plastic dolls. Those who fear dolls have every reason to get scared again, as the latest Chucky film “Curse of Chucky,” has just had it’s direct-to-video release on October 8th, 2013. In the sixth installment of the “Child’s Play” franchise, the series goes back to formula with a horror execution, as the first film had back in 1988. In the film, a woman named Nica (Fiona Dourif) gets a special box delivered to her home one day. It ends up being a good guy doll, the same kind of doll as Chucky. But when some close family and friends visit her, things really start to crack down and certain things are revealed as to why the Chucky doll got delivered there. This sequel makes the wise decision of going back to the horror formula of the original “Child’s Play”, and avoiding the bad, dark comedy route. Also the bride and son of Chucky do not appear in this film. So for those who hated those two characters, you’ll be relieved to see that it’s just the Chucky doll this time. However, the movie does have some fun connections to earlier installments, as well as having some clever cameos and homages along the way. Though better than “Seed of Chucky,” this sequel has some problems of it’s own. The first being the film’s poor sense of structure. The film also loses its main focus and direction as it reaches its conclusion. There are also some cliche`, corny, predictable, and sometimes even confusing moments as well. This new Chucky film really offers nothing new. Though it’s more of a horror film over a dark comedy this time, there really isn’t anything here that the fans need to see immediately. Skip this one.

Doctor Sleep Book Review By Stephen King
Doctor Sleep, a new sequel to the Shining ARIELLA JEM Staff Writer I have a strange compulsion whereby I am incapable of reading a sequel before the first novel in a series. So when I heard that Stephen King was publishing a sequel to his infamous novel The Shining, I rushed out to grab a copy of the original in preparation. Sure, I’d seen the Stanley Kubrick adaptation more times than I could count but, according to the acknowledgement in Doctor Sleep, King was not impressed with the film. I figured I owed it to the author, and myself, to prepare for the release of Doctor Sleep by indulging in the original cannon. This turned out to be pretty good decision as the film is more about mental illness and less about the actual supernatural elements outlined in the book. The book also shows Danny to be a much more sympathetic character than the little boy in the film. In fact The Shining is really more about Danny than it is about his father Jack “Here’s Johnny” Torrence, which I found really surprising. Upon finishing The Shining I couldn’t help but wonder, like many before me I’m sure, what had happened to little Danny after the trauma he suffered. Luckily for me, I didn’t have to wait the 36 years that the folks who had read The Shining back in 1977 did. Doctor Sleep begins by outlining Danny’s descent into alcoholism which, given his father’s alcoholism, is sad but not entirely unexpected. Danny, now Dan, is haunted by many demons that he has locked away over the years, including a few from the Overlook Hotel, but he’s beginning to unravel at the seams from the pressure of holding them all inside. He’s become a nomad over the years and wanders from place to place working in hospices until his alcoholism takes over forcing him to move on. He’s also developed an interesting talent for helping the elderly die peacefully which is
a manifestation of the powers he demonstrated as a child. Finally Dan settles down in a small town in New Hampshire, and finds that he feels at home for the first time in years. He even decides to join AA, with a little nudge from some new friends. Fast forward a few years and Dan is contacted by a young girl named Abra who has an even stronger case of, what Dan’s old friend Dick called, “the shining.” She needs Dan’s help to try and find the body of a little boy who has been murdered by a band of gypsy-esque folk known as the True Knot. They travel the country in a caravan of RVs and eat the essence of boys and girls that have the shining. It also happens that their home base is at the former site of a certain hotel that Dan happened to visit one winter during his childhood. The True Knot is led by a snake of a woman known as Rose the Hat, and when she discovers Abra’s shine she makes it her mission to find the girl no matter what the consequence. I wanna start by saying that I would undoubtedly recommend that you read The Shining first so that you can witness how masterfully King is able to transition back into Dan’s world after 36 years. That being said Doctor Sleep has all the hallmark King staples: A flawed protagonist, a creepy bad guy that has lurked at the corner of everyone’s minds,, scares that will leave you wide eyed in the middle of a bunch of strangers on the bus, a young person in peril, a quest to vanquish the evil at the root of the story. Doctor Sleep is also full of surprisingly tender moments for Dan who, as I mentioned earlier, is incredibly sympathetic. I even shed a couple tears fairly early on in the book when the “Doc” is performing his first assisted death. They weren’t the last either. Doctor Sleep is proof that King has not lost any of his charm or imagination. I had a hard time putting either of the books down, and devoured both in a few days. This is the test of a truly great book series. It’s also bittersweet in that the first novel was written when King, like his character Jack Torrence, was still in the throes of alcoholism. It makes me wonder if the book wasn’t just about redemption for the broken Torrence family, but also for his younger self. A perfect way to answer a 36 year old question.

Madison College Performing Arts students have been rehearsing “Almost Maine” since the play was cast in early September. The first show will be in Mitby Theatre on Nov. 1.
Performing Arts to open busy year CAROLYN KENDALL Social Media Editor Madison College Performing Arts has a busy year planned, starting with the play “Almost Maine” and concluding with some student showcases at the end of the spring semester. In between, the theater department hopes to put on a musical. The Madison College Theatre Department has wanted to do a musical for a while now. The problem is, they don’t know if they have enough people interested. Thus, the theatre department arranged to have three musical theatre workshops this fall for the musical “Spring Awakening.” Musicals take a lot more work than perceived. This is where the saying “they make it look easy” comes in to play. These shows consist of musical numbers sung by talented singers who also have the ability to act and, quite possibly, even dance. It’s hard to say whether a certain community of people will have the work ethic and talent to commit to a production without proof … which is where the workshops came in handy. The workshops, the last of which was Sept. 28, consisted of learning multiple songs in the show as well as rehearsing a few skits from the play. Next up for Performing Arts is “Almost Maine” starting Nov. 1 at 7:30 p.m at the Mitby Theatre. Other showings will be on Nov. 2 at 7:30 p.m., Nov. 3 at 2 p.m., Nov. 8 at 7:30 p.m., Nov. 9 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 10 at 2 p.m.

Universal Music Group
When I hear the name Pearl Jam, I think of a certain style of music, an almost mournful rock. Most of their biggest hits have been this kind of soul-searching grunge, from “Jeremy” to “Betterman.” However, with their newest release, “Lightning Bolt,” the band has departed slightly from that style. The start of the album is higherenergy than what one might expect. “Getaway” has fast-paced guitar riffs and fast paced lyrics, followed by even faster riffs and lyrics in “Mind Your Manners.” They start to hit their pace,

Pearl Jam Album Review however, about halfway through with “Pendulum” and “Sirens” sounding like classic Pearl Jam. Near the end of the album they explore different styles, touching the edges of grunge rock, almost as though they are exploring how far they can move from their core sound while still sounding good. Overall, this works. “Lightning Bolt” is a solid album, with a number of solid songs. Stone Gossard, their rhythm guitar, continues to produce smooth, beautiful grooves to rock to, and Eddie Vedder’s voice does not disappoint. Aside from a few points where the lyrics are written a bit awkwardly, the album contains a lot of really good music, and is worth the
few bucks you need to spend to listen to it legally. However, while the album is solid overall, none of the songs hit me as particularly amazing, and I’m not sure any of them will top the charts as a single. So, if you have $15 burning a hole in your pocket and you want to rock out to some new music, pick up “Lightning Bolt.” Pearl Jam may not have the emoteen appeal of a 20-year-old riding a wrecking ball, but they have been around the block a few times and their music has depth and meaning that is rare amongst new releases these days. – DANIEL HERRON

Despite losing record, soccer team sees positives TYLER RICHTER Staff Writer For the third straight year, the soccer team’s season ended with a losing record. The WolfPack finished the season with a 5-9 record (4-4 in Conference play). However, despite the tough record, there is much reason for optimism. For the first time since 2009 Madison College finished with four conference wins, a high-
light especially since it was Cory Sims’ first season as head coach. Only one loss all season was by more than three points, a 7-point loss to Joliet on the road on Sept. 23. That was also one of only two times they were shut out all season, the other being to eighth ranked Anoka-Ramsey on Sept. 29. This after being shut out in over half of their games last year. One of the biggest factors in this was the fact
that Madison College had a full roster of 22 players this year, while they only had 14 players last year. “We had a full roster, we had a lot of players with a lot of heart,” Sims said. Another big reason for their success was the play of Marco Meneses, a freshman forward who finished the season with 13 goals and three assists, the best single season performance since Thiemoko Kone had 17
goals and 7 assists in 2009. “Every day that we go to practice I try to practice what the coaches tell me to do. Practice makes the results I have,” Meneses said of his performance this season, which included a pair of 2-goal performances and a 3-goal performance against Lakeland on Oct. 6. Madison College finished off the season at home with two consecutive losses, the first

being a 3-2 loss to Joliet. Joliet took a lead shortly before half and before 60 minutes had been played they improved their lead to 3-0. However, Madison College did not fold.

WolfPack volleyball unbeaten in conference play JOE BALLARD Staff Writer Another banner will need to be raised in Redsten Gym as the WolfPack women’s volleyball team won the top spot in the N4C conference by defeating the Harper College Hawks 25-14 25-20 25-18 on Oct. 17. The bleachers were packed with young volleyball players as Youth Night was held for the final conference game of the season. Many young potential WolfPack players watched the team battle it out in a tough contest with the Harper College Hawks. Head coach Toby Parker said the Conference Crown was deserved and earned. “Undefeated in this conference, with
three or four teams in the top ten in the country, says an awful lot about this group and the direction this team is going. It feels great,” Parker said. The Hawks matched the WolfPack’s intensity all night as both teams aggressively sent kill attempts towards each other. Vanessa Clarson finished the game with 23 digs and held tough for the WolfPack defense. Both teams were diving to the floor for saves thanks to the powerful finishes. Elizabeth Mahsem led the WolfPack with 23 kills. Teriessa Bierd had 18 kills and 18 digs. Hannah Gahn had 33 assists and set up the powerful WolfPack attack. “I think we worked hard for it. It’s nice to have the title,” Mahsem said The WolfPack definitely earned their win over a strong Harper College Hawks
team and have accomplished one of every team’s goal in going undefeated in conference play. They now set their sights on loftier titles. “We have some very competitive matches coming up. Those are intentional for us,” Parker said. The WolfPack has two non-conference games against Whitewater and a match against the University of Dubuque as the team looks to raise its level of play heading in to the post season. Immediately following the game there was an autograph table set up and all the young kids in attendance came out and got autographed photos of the team. The young kid’s smiles were almost as big as the WolfPack players’ when they left the gym.
During the closing seconds of Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Roy Hibbert took a hard seat on the Pacers bench and smiled an empty, exasperated smile. The Pacers were about to be eliminated by the Miami Heat after a bitterly fought seven game series. It was the second consecutive year the Pacers had given the Heat all they could handle, only to come up short. Hibbert was animated about his frustration during the closing seconds. Hibbert, the Pacers 7’2 center, is an imposing player who is just beginning to make the leap into superstardom. In 2013 he was named an All-Star for the first time in his young career and dominated Miami’s undermanned frontline during the playoffs. Hibbert is one of the NBA’s most imposing rim protectors and has been slowly developing an offensive game in the low post. The feeling that the Pacers had it and let it slip away was all over Hibbert’s face at the end of Game 7. Any avid sports fan or athlete knows that those losses are the ones that hurt the most.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 end with many players and fans feeling that exasperation. But Hibbert won’t be one of them. That’s because the Pacers are going to end the 2014 season as NBA champions. With the return of high scoring swingman Danny Granger and the additions of veteran forward Louis Scola and defensive stalwart CJ Watson, the Pacers have become one of the deepest teams in the East. Forward Paul George appears ready to take his place as one of the NBA’s best players and the Pacers were also able to re-sign their enforcer, big man David West. A solid case could be made that had Granger been healthy the Pacers would have defeated the Heat last season. Now, they’ll get the chance to prove it. Lebron James says he is better than ever and, indeed, Lebron has to be recognized as the best player in the world and one of the two or three greatest players of all-time. But the rest of his Heat teammates are not at their apex like he is. Dwyane Wade has been struggling with injuries for the last 2 years. Chris Bosh was exposed by both Roy Hibbert and Tim Duncan as a soft, fraud of a big man incapable of living up to his billing as being one of the “Big 3”. The Heat’s role players are a major question mark. Ray Allen is 38, Shane Battier and Chris Anderson are 35, and Greg Oden hasn’t played since 2009. With Wade’s health issues and Bosh’s inability to be meaningful when it matters, more pressure than ever will be put on the Heat’s aging bench. Meanwhile, the Pacers are young and hungry. They have the size, the ath-
