At the Women’s March on Madison, part of an international network of protests against Donald Trump, some attendees donned “pussyhats” to show support for women’s empowerment.
Madison Women’s March against Trump draws 100,000 By Gina Heeb THE DAILY CARDINAL
Thousands swarmed State Street on Donald Trump’s first full day as president Saturday in a protest to raise awareness for rights of women and other populations they fear could be in jeopardy under the new White House administration. The Women’s March on Madison is one of hundreds of satellite protests that took place across the nation and internationally this weekend to stand in solidarity with a major march taking place in Washington, D.C., and up to 100,000 were estimated by the Madison Police Department to have attended the march on State Street. Following the lead of the Women’s March on Washington, organized in the nation’s capital, participants walked from Library Mall at the bottom of State Street to the Madison Capitol building. Protesters in pink hats and knit “pussy cat” hats chanted, “No hate. No fear. Everyone is welcome here,” and “fired up” as they marched. As speakers were starting around 1 p.m., the compact crowd still stretched all the way back to Bascom Hill, with protesters raising signs and chanting. One of the first speakers was UW-Madison doctoral student Sagashus Levingston. “It is [about] investing to
make sure we all have the tools and resources to act on our own behalfs,” she said. “Most things, if not all things, are only as strong as their most vulnerable party.” As chants such as, “This is what democracy looks like” and “Not my president,” continued throughout the crowd, Madison School District history teacher and queer youth advocate Abigail Swetz took the stage. Swetz told the audience she focuses on teaching her students to be active citizens.
“We need to stand up and fight back for equality and inclusion.” Lena Taylor senator Wisconsin Senate
“In all the anti-bullying training I got, I was told the most important thing is to not be a bystander,” she said. “There is nothing more important to me than keeping my students safe,” Swetz said, echoing the sentiment of marginalized students at UW-Madison who felt scared and confused following the election of Trump. Darla Lannert, a member of the Wisconsin Transgender Health Coalition board of direc-
tors, a transgender woman and a prominent advocate for transgender rights, spoke at the protest about visibility under the Trump administration. “Any time a transgender person leaves their home they’re making a statement in a world that says we don’t exist,” Lannert said. “Today, I exist.” Protesters stressed intersectionality, with a woman leading chants of “Black Lives Matter” through a megaphone. Two Democratic state legislators from Milwaukee—Sen. Lena Taylor and Rep. JoCasta Zamarripa—who have made historic steps in Wisconsin government, also addressed the crowd. Taylor was the second black woman to become a state senator and Zamarripa was the first latina woman to become a state representative. “We need to stand up and fight back for equality and inclusion,” Taylor said. Men who attended the march stressed the importance of solidarity with women. “Women affect everything,” said Steven Forbes, a protester from Milwaukee. “With Trump being so unabashedly nasty, resistance is needed.” Even after march participant estimates surged from 10,000 to 100,000, Madison Police Department reported having no issues maintaining citizen safety.
WASHINGTON—A group of 14 UW-Madison students piled into a nine-person van this weekend and crossed the country to join nearly half a million people near the Capitol building for a solidarity march meant to unite the world in social justice movements. U.S. citizens and individuals from other countries, young children and elderly folks, various genders and all races were present at the Women’s March on Washington Saturday. Attendees showed support for women’s rights—which speakers said are merely human rights—and spoke out against controversial statements made by President Donald Trump. Similar women’s marches took place in 370 cities and six continents, according to event organizers at the march. Joanna Finstad, a UW-Madison Veterinary School student, coordinated a ride-share with the students who signed up in time. She said she combined her motivation to attend the event and her planning skills to organize the trip, which she said was important for many reasons. “I think [undergraduate] students are the future,” Finstad said. “Getting this generation motivated and getting them passionate is what’s going to change things. So, if there were students that wanted to go I wanted to make sure I was able to help them do that.” The group made it through a car ride that lasted more than 13
hours just in time for the pre-march rally. Hundreds of people already filled the space upon their arrival, many holding read phrases such as, “You work for us now,” and “I can’t believe I’m still protesting this.” Four of the UW-Madison students that rode in the van identify as Muslim American and said they were representing their respective, and often underrepresented, cultures. One of the students, UW-Madison junior Sara Easa, said she had been worried about “white-washing” of the event, but was pleased to see diversity in the speakers and apparent intersectionality in many of the posters. Another student traveller, junior Zahra Bashir, said she came to represent and unite with both women and Muslim communities. “[After the election] it took me a while to understand that I’m not alone, and today clearly represented that,” Bashir said. “Everyone was there because they are going to fight. There’s so many women that feel the same way I do, and we’re here to fight for what’s right. I’m not scared anymore. Now, I say ‘bring it on.’” The rally included celebrity speakers and social justice activists, starting off with actress America Ferrera. Other speakers included President Rhea Shuh of the Natural Resources Defense Council, who co-sponsored the event along with Planned Parenthood, which actress Scarlett Johansson told a personal tale of in her speech. Hundreds of men marched along in solidarity with women in their lives, or for human rights, including UW-Madison Veterinary School

Inauguration marks updated, elegant era in First Lady fashion By Tenley Sanduski the daily cardinal
Friday morning marked the end of Michelle Obama’s era of First Lady fashion, but gave us a glimpse into what’s to come the next four years. After eight years of impeccable gowns and outfits, Melania certainly has her work cut out for her, as Michelle leaves behind a legacy of high fashion style. But, regardless of which party you support, it’s clear Melania Trump is up for the challenge and will be serving up spectacular style for us all to enjoy during her time in the White House. In her debut as First Lady, Melania did not disappoint. At the swearing-in ceremony, she chose to wear a monochrome baby blue look centered around a Ralph Lauren cashmere dress and complete with coordinating gloves and shoes. The ensemble was reminiscent of the signature classy style of fellow fashionable First Lady, Jackie Kennedy. Melania topped off the look with a side swept updo. Ivanka Trump, one of our
new first daughters, also brought her A game to the swearing in ceremony. Ivanka donned an all white Oscar De La Renta pant suit and loose waves for her hair. The look was similar to Hillary Clinton, who also worn a white pantsuit to the occasion. Later in the evening, during her and President Trump’s first dance at the Freedom Ball, Melania wore a stunning Hervé Pierre gown. The white form fitting dress featured ruffled, off the shoulder details and a thin red belt at her waistline. Her hair fell into loose waves. Also at the ball, Ivanka wore an awe inducing dress that dreams are made of. The long sleeve, sparkling Carolina Herrera ball gown looked flawless on the first daughter. With ombré style beading, Ivanka shined from head to toe. I, as well as many of my fellow fashion-loving Americans, will miss watching Michelle Obama’s fabulous displays of fashion. But if Friday is any indication, the

Applying makeup can add positive structure to a daily schedule.
Beat stress with beauty By Sierra Bychowski the daily cardinal
School, for most of us, is guaranteed to increase our anxiety. Either anxiety that already exists inside us or anxiety we never knew we were capable of feeling. This can be combated in many ways, such as exercise, a long talk with a friend, or dropping out of school (kidding), but one that is probably not so obvious is using “beauty” as a way to reduce this stress. For me, this means makeup. Makeup is a way to split my day up into two sections: When I have it on I still have responsibilities I need to take care of, and when it comes off that’s when I can relax and unwind. It doesn’t always work this way (makeup can only hang onto your face for so long), but the idea still holds. Makeup has been getting way more popular for the last couple years, and that’s because it’s fun for a lot of people to do. You sit down in front of a mirror and have the opportunity to focus solely on yourself for
however long it takes you. I would rather not admit how long it usually takes me. This is the only time during the day some people have to just focus on themselves. It can be a very stress-relieving activity, which sets you up right for the rest of your day. Putting on makeup is an act of self-love. You know it’s going to be short lasting and washed off at the end of your day, but you decide the confidence it gives you or the fun you have applying it is worth it. Spending time on something like your appearance can be so trivial compared with all the other worries pulling at your mind, but can give you a moment to let go of those worries and feel a little better. This doesn’t have to be about makeup either. Spending some time doing your hair or painting your nails, as long as you’re enjoying it, can leave a great impact on you for the rest of the day. As the cliché goes: When you look good, you feel good.
After a relaxing winter break the last thing anyone wants to do is get into another monotonous routine of work, stress and no sleep. But fear not—below are three easy tips to ensure that this semester will be the best one yet! Implement these tips into your everyday life to ensure a refreshing and proactive semester. If nothing else: Remember that this is not only your semester, but 2017 is your year. Make the most of it!
“The beauty of college is that we get a fresh start twice an academic year! Take this to your advantage and keep the past in the past.”
Don’t worry about a thing In the iconic words of Bob Marley, “Don’t worry about a thing, cause every little thing is gonna be alright.” This is easier said than done, but try to make it a priority! Yes, school is stressful, but more often than not it is blown way out of proportion. Remind yourself that it is only the second week of the semester. Take it easy! The plethora of syllabi and looming deadlines might scare you, but take some deep breaths, try to focus on what is due first and
leave the thoughts of panic for the coming weeks. Switch up your routine With dreary, cold weather it is often hard to feel your best, especially when you are stuck in a repetitive routine day in and day out. Beat the winter blues by shaking it up once in awhile! Grab dinner with your friends at a new spot or make a study date at a local coffee shop. It can be especially difficult to explore campus as the semester progresses, so take the time to find new places and activities before the work load becomes unbearable. Knowing that something new is just around the corner will make you feel more motivated to conquer each day. Think positive You might not have had the best last semester— whether academically, socially or mentally—but so what? The beauty of college is that we get a fresh start twice an academic year! Take this to your advantage and keep the past in the past. Create new habits to propel yourself to new heights and try to visualize all the success you will have instead of what didn’t work out for you last semester. If you feel like each day is filled with negativity, establish a rule within your friend group so that you are held accountable for only positive self-talk. Live by the mantra, “Positive mind. Positive vibes. Positive life.”

Suspended student Alec Cook will face trial on 21 charges By Gina Heeb THE DAILY CARDINAL
MILLER JOZWIAK/THE DAILY CARDINAL
Another solidarity march occurred Saturday in Chicago, as a part of an international movement.
march from page 1 student Mitch Thomas and sophomore Ali Khan, who were in the group of UW-Madison students who travelled to the capital city. Khan, who serves as Associated Students of Madison’s Chair of the Equity and Inclusion committee, said he gained a sense of understanding of women’s rights, as well as a feeling of pride for being a part of history. “I was excited to come because as a gendered male because it was a great opportunity to show that people like me, that are Muslim American men that have a stereotype of being oppressive to women or misogynistic are represented in ways that show that we too are feminist and that we get that from our religion and culture,” Khan said. Attendees showed support for these rights by wearing knit caps called “pussyhats.” Each piece of headwear was handmade by an American woman and shipped to the buyer in time for them to wear it to the march. They are styled to have two pointed sections of on each side of the hat in order to

make them look like a cat’s ears. Each cap was made with pink yarn to go along with the traditionally feminine color and idea of the Pussyhat Project. Politicians, including the Mayor of Washington, D.C. Muriel Bowser and California Sen. Kamala Harris, who emphasized that women’s issues are, like the economy and education, all human’s issues, also appeared on the stage. Musical performances were placed between every few speeches, several of which showcased cultural pieces, from Native American tunes to a female rapper donning a hijab. The end of the rally featured surprise performances from Alicia Keys and Madonna. The rally lasted nearly five hours, which was two hours longer than the organizers originally anticipated. The march was nearly cancelled after authorities said there were too many people to lead a formal procession to the White House. The march went on, however, and the 500,000 bodies of all kinds moved down Independence Ave. and Third Street. The herd remained peace-
ful—no arrests or injuries were reported—and repeated chants such as, “Not my president” and “We will not go away, welcome to your first day,” both referring to their dislike of President Trump. Upon arriving outside of Trump International Hotel shouts of “shame on you” and finger-pointing ensued. The crowd continued onward until they got near the White House. However, police vehicles began to drive through the crowds to signal them to stop marching, and they eventually listened and dispersed. After the march, the UW-Madison students parted from Washington. Several of the individuals said they felt glad to know that they still had the ability to make change following the election. “I think all of us can agree that 10 years from now we’re all going to look and this definitely will be in history books,” Bashir said. “We can tell our own children that we were there, that we stood alongside so many underrepresented women and women in general and be proud of that fact and part of a movement.”
UW-Oshkosh former top officials now face DOJ lawsuit for alleged illegal transactions The Wisconsin Department of Justice and UW System filed a civil lawsuit last Wednesday against three former high-level officials at UW-Oshkosh who allegedly made illegal financial guarantees and transfers from UW-Oshkosh to the school’s foundation. An investigation began last spring when UW-Oshkosh Foundation Board President Arthur Rathjen informed UW-Oshkosh Chancellor Andrew Leavitt the foundation could need the university’s help with debt payments on building projects.
According to a press release, a review discovered former Chancellor Richard Wells and retired Vice Chancellor of Administrative Service Thomas Sonnleitner had sent letters to banks agreeing to guarantee the foundation’s loans. However, as an institution of the state government, the university can’t legally guarantee loans for the foundation, a private 501(c)(3) non-profit. After independent review by Dane County Circuit Court Judge Patrick Fiedler, his findings prompt-
ed the Board of Regents to request an investigation by the DOJ which verified the improper transfers. Leavitt fired Rathjen on Jan. 17 and the board has instructed him to create a position at UW-Oshkosh that will focus on compliance with UW System rules. Board of Regents Audit Committee Chair Michael M. Grebe said, “They created a mess, which we are acting swiftly and decisively to clean up and show our citizens this will not be tolerated.” —Nina Bertelsen
MORGAN WINSTON/THE DAILY CARDINAL
The Wisconsin Department of Jusitce filed a lawsuit against former UW-Oshkosh Chancellor Richard Wells and retired Vice Chancellor of Adminstrative Service Thomas Sonnleineron.
Suspended UW-Madison student Alec Cook, of Edina, Minn., will proceed to trial on 21 criminal charges including sexual assault, felony stalking and strangulation, a county judge ruled at a Friday preliminary hearing. The decision to bind Cook over for trial on all counts came as Dane County Judge Valerie Bailey-Rihn found probable cause for felonies committed against at least six women in the case. Bailey-Rihn also signed an order for Cook to undergo HIV and other STD testing, after finding probable cause that the women were exposed to bodily fluids during the reported assaults. Several law enforcement officials from the Madison city and university police departments testified on reported accounts of six women—three of sexual assault, one of strangulation and two of stalking. Madison Police Department detective Tracie Jokala said the woman, whose October 2016 report led to Cook’s arrest, was forcefully kissed and penetrated with fingers at his apartment, even after continually saying things were moving too fast and telling him to stop. One of Cook’s attorneys, Christopher Van Wagner, included in his counter argument that this woman exchanged Facebook messages with Cook after leaving his apartment on the night of the alleged assault. Van Wagner also cited a particular message in which the victim says she does not want a casual relationship. “Nowhere in those messages did she say, ‘Leave me alone; you raped me,’ or anything along those lines,” Van Wagner said. Jokala also testified on a similar account that occurred in March 2015 and was reported shortly after the arrest, where another woman said she was penetrated with fingers against her will by Cook in his apartment. Jokala said the woman told police she attempted to stop Cook’s advances, but was “physically unable.” MPD detective Grant Humerickhouse testified that one woman reported an assault which occurred in August 2016, when she was strangled by Cook four times after telling him to stop. She reported that she could not breathe during two of those times. Humerickhouse also gave testimony on another reported assault which occurred at Cook’s apartment in February 2016. A woman told police that the
defendant penetrated her after she indicated she did not want to have intercourse and was feeling “fuzzy and tired.” A total of 10 women have reported sexual assault and other charges against Cook since he was first arrested last year. In October 2016, prosecutors filed 15 counts related to five women and in December 2016, six more charges were added as five more women came forward. The defendant is currently staying with his parents in Minnesota after being released on $100,000 bail in December. Other bail conditions ban him from using social media and from entering Dane County, except for court dates. Court officials have not yet set a date for trial. Request to dismiss four charges denied In earlier proceedings Friday morning, Bailey-Rihn denied a motion that requested the dismissal of four of 21 criminal charges in the Cook case. Bailey-Rihn ruled that there is probable cause for all counts challenged by the defendant, including one sexual assault charge, two felony stalking charges and one disorderly conduct charge. Defense attorneys filed motions Tuesday to dismiss the four charges before going to trial. The motion said that accounts from two women on the UW-Madison campus did not constitute stalking and cited conflicting information in the sexual assault charge.
“Nowhere in those messages did she say, ‘Leave me alone; you raped me,’ or anything along those lines.” Christopher Van Wagner attorney
At the motion hearing, defense attorneys pleaded against the two stalking charges, arguing that both women’s accounts failed to meet technical definitions of stalking. Van Wagner questioned whether or not alleged women suffered “serious” emotional distress, a necessary component for stalking cases, because they failed to use certain words that define serious emotional harm when reporting their cases. Bailey-Rihn denied this argument, however, saying there is probable cause that Cook inflicted serious emotional distress on the two stalking victims, even though they may not have used technical terms such as “terrified,” “threatened,” “harassed” or “tormented” in police complaints. The judge also ruled probable cause for the two other counts, including fourth-degree sexual assault.

Isaiah Rashad uplifts, excites at The Sett By Logan Rude THE DAILY CARDINAL

Donald Trump’s presidency provoked strong responses from artists.
Presidential election sparks protest music By Logan Rude THE DAILY CARDINAL
2017 marks the beginning of a new period filled with uncertainty and anxiety for countless Americans across the country. The past year and a half showcased the rise of a prolific businessman and reality television star to the most powerful position in the world. Not only has Donald Trump been the most controversial presidential candidate ever, but at a more basic level, it seems that he values his personal goals over those of the country he now leads. Starting roughly a month before his election, countless musicians have begun antiTrump collaborative projects or playlists in an effort to fight against the president’s rhetoric used throughout the campaign. Debuting on October 10th, the “30 Days, 30 Songs” project released new or reworked songs where artists expressed their disapproval of Donald Trump before the November election. The playlist has now grown to 50 songs, available on streaming services like Apple Music and Spotify. It features prominent artists commenting, disavowing or poking fun at Trump. Featuring songs like “Million Dollar Loan” by Death Cab for Cutie, “Demagogue” by Franz Ferdinand, “Fat Fingers” by clipping.—a hip-hop track that pulls lines from classic diss tracks—or “Mr. Tangerine Man” by Wesley Stace, the “30 Days, 30 Songs” project shares its message through nearly every genre. However, “30 Days, 30 Songs” didn’t end when the election did. The project, created by writer Dave Eggers, is taking its message of protest to ambitious new levels by orchestrating a playlist called “1,000 Days, 1,000 Songs.” Following the same format as “30 Days, 30 Songs,” this new endeavor will feature a new song every weekday for the next 1,000 days which, when excluding weekends, roughly span the length of Trump’s presidential term. To kick off “1,000 Days, 1,000 songs,” a live version of R.E.M.’s “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” was released on Inauguration Day. Perhaps it’s a fitting song to kick off the new era of antiTrump protests. While many
Americans are anxious for what’s to come, R.E.M.’s track is a perfect split of hopefulness and recognition that things will most definitely be different in the coming years. Music has always been a powerful tool in protesting injustice. Spreading the word is an integral part of any fight or cause, and these tracks allow messages of racial, economic and gender equality to spread to the masses. In addition to Trump’s past rhetoric, he has openly denied climate change and, with the help of Congress, is fighting to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Bringing attention to these issues is vital, but in order to help support the fight, organizations that advocate for equality need funding. That is where Our First 100 Days comes in. In a similar vein as “1,000 Days, 1,000 Songs,” Our First 100 Days is an album featuring new and old tracks from artists across the nation who wish to speak out against Trump’s goals during his presidency. The project will release a new song every day until its full release in April. All proceeds from the sale of the album, which has a minimum contribution of $30, will go toward groups fighting on behalf of environmental action, women’s rights and immigration groups. Outside of these ambitious protest compilations, artists are releasing singles to bring more attention to all of the issues threatened by the Trump presidency. Within a couple days of Trump’s inauguration, Arcade Fire, Joey Bada$$, Fiona Apple and Gorillaz all released tracks denouncing his rhetoric and rise to power. Such an overwhelming influx of anti-Trump music may help give a greater sense of hope for the coming four years, reminding us that now is not the time to sit back and get complacent with the new administration. When we see injustice, we must act on it, and these tracks make it seem possible to change things for the better.

Perhaps the biggest obstacle an aspiring rapper must overcome on their climb to the throne is finding a unique voice and identity that lets them stand out from the dense crowds of would-be stars. Isaiah Rashad is one of the rappers who’s found his own sound. On Saturday, Rashad swung by The Sett for the fifth stop of his Lil Sunny Tour. Fresh off the September release of his sophomore project The Sun’s Tirade, Rashad has been enjoying the success of the project which has been praised by fans and critics alike. Joining Isaiah on the national tour are Maryland up-and-comer Jay IDK (the IDK stands for “ignorantly delivering knowledge”) and Chicago-born TDE signee, Lance Skiiiwalker. While Jay IDK did perform, Lance Skiiiwalker opted to stay in Chicago for the night instead of showing up for the lowkey show. Despite having to take on the responsibility of opening the show by himself, Jay IDK instantaneously captured the entire crowd’s attention when he stepped on stage wearing a rubber Ronald Reagan mask, leaving the audience awestruck. After a brief monologue explaining his name and what it means to him, Jay’s energy slowly spread to the docile crowd. Jumping around the stage and performing with vigor, Jay finally got results from the crowd after a few songs. It wasn’t until he joined a miniature mosh-pit in the crowd that the entire audience felt explosive. Eventually, Jay wrapped up his set by thanking the crowd for coming out to see the show. While the whole audience anticipated Rashad’s set, the DJ played YG’s anti-Trump anthem “FDT,” which led the crowd to letting out cathartic screams along with the lyrics. After a long wait, Isaiah came rushing out on stage to start off the show with more energy than imaginable. Adorned head-

Isaiah Rashad spread positive energy during his performance. to-toe in Adidas apparel, Isaiah fans erupted with intensity like a volcano that had been waiting to blow. Rashad’s set was impeccably balanced between tracks from his breakout project Cilvia Demo and The Sun’s Tirade. Just like Rashad’s previous projects, his set showcased raw, lively vehemence and mellow, hazy rhymes. From the vigorous flow on “Smile,” the druginfluenced braggadocio on “R.I.P. Kevin Miller” to the intoxicatingly simple production on “Tity and Dolla,” Isaiah effortlessly floated over every track. An impromptu freestyle about drinking water spilled out of Rashad’s mouth while he passed out water bottles to the crowd. He sang a simple chorus of, “Drink your water, Zay. Drink drink your water, Zay,” in between loosely constructed rhymes about hydration. Rashad’s most charming trait throughout the show was his smile. Unapologetically happy, the young rapper took on every new song with an amazing amount
of enthusiasm that showed just how happy he was to be on tour and performing his unique music. His love for performing shined through his interaction with the crowd. Reaching out to shake hands, hug and recognize people who knew the lyrics, everyone in the crowd had a chance to connect with Rashad on a personal level. His gratitude for everyone’s support was heartwarming. Rashad dedicated the show to the audience, not necessarily as fans, but almost as friends. He said that, without us, there would be no music. Without the music, there would be no money. Without the money, there would be no food for his children. Before his final departure, Zay put the mic down to dance to “Alright” by Kendrick Lamar while he reached over the rails for a final genuine embrace with his loyal fans.

Rural Wisconsinites are led to believe that their urban counterparts benefit at their own expense.
Rural, urban dwellers in state should reconcile MITCHELL J. EWALD guest columnist
I
t’s no secret: There is a strong divide between urban and rural Wisconsin, between Madison and Milwaukee and the rest of Wisconsin. And recently, the divide has only been growing. Kathy Cramer, a political science professor at UW-Madison, noticed these bubbling tensions when studying rural Wisconsinites’ political opinions. In her book “The Politics of Resentment,” Cramer explains the ever-growing wariness of people in rural areas toward Madison and Milwaukee. There is a belief that most of the hard-earned tax dollars are funneled into Madison and Milwaukee (an idea that has been disproven), and our politicians only care about these areas. Understandably, as a result of this view, rural Wisconsinites feel more ignored than ever. On top of this, some rural Wisconsinites feel that people living in Madison and Milwaukee get converted automatically to the cities’ signature liberal views. This perception gives an excuse to some rural people in the state to simply disregard urban Wisconsinites’ views, since they might seem “disconnected from reality.” On the other hand, I have seen for myself that tensions are also felt in the opposite direction, from urban to rural. Some of my peers who moved from rural to urban Wisconsin eventually turned their backs on their hometowns. They make fun of rural Wisconsin, calling it “backward” and referring to its towns as “hicktowns.” I noticed how some people in the city get baffled by the viewpoints of rural Wisconsinites and discredit their ideas. These people therefore shut out rural voices before even hearing an explanation. Both rural and urban folks now scoff at one another and disregard each other’s views—thereby ignoring each other’s grievances. This situation allows divisiveness to rise and exacerbates rural-urban conflicts. Being part of a state that transitioned from neighborly to now fiercely politically divide, I have to
step back and ask myself, “What the heck happened?” As a sociology student who comes from semi-rural Wisconsin and now studies in Madison, I believe that most of these issues stem from miscommunication, and not genuine urban-versus-rural conflicts of interest. Urban and rural Wisconsin are not fundamentally different, but rather two sides of the same coin.
When we improve our intergroup relations, then our politics will work for and listen to all of Wisconsin.
Although these two areas have likely always had some strain, UW-Madison journalism professor Lewis Friedland says that he found an explanation for a rise in current strains. He argues that rural tensions toward urban Wisconsinites have escalated recently because of outside intervention. He explains that the ultra-wealthy (the top 0.01 percent of earners in the U.S.) have used political groups such as Americans for Prosperity and the Bradley Foundation to both politicize media messages and intervene in state politics. They interfere in Wisconsin to promote policies favorable to protecting and increasing their already massive wealth. The ultra-wealthy do this by exploiting the grievances of rural Wisconsinites by aggravating preexisting rural-urban tensions. In these actions, the ultra-wealthy often encourage demonization of our fellow Wisconsinites. They endorse negative stereotypes and intolerance of urbanites, liberals and public workers in order to discredit their voices and reap the benefits. Madison and Milwaukee residents notice this loss of their voice in state politics. As a result, many take their frustrations out by blaming rural Wisconsin and resorting to their own negative stereotypes
of the area. If we ever want to return to the community that Wisconsin once had, we as Wisconsinites must fight the divisiveness that’s come over us. We need to open communications between rural and urban Wisconsin once again. This call for communication goes down to the smallest level: you. Every one of us, myself included, must be more open to hearing the views of Wisconsinites from other backgrounds and other political beliefs. We must achieve this communication despite the forces and tensions working against us. To all Wisconsin residents, the next time you hear a view from someone different and laugh to yourself, take a step back, ask them why they think and listen. Try to understand their point of view. After all, everyone just wants the best for our state, even if their opinion is contrary to yours. Everyone deserves to be heard. Furthermore, speak up when divisive rhetoric is used by media, politicians or colleagues. Such rhetoric further splits our divided Wisconsin and often plays right into the hands of the ultra-wealthy who exploit us. Once we embrace open communication and stop demonizing one another on an individual level, Wisconsin’s institutions will work better for us all. We must keep in mind that society itself and the diverse groups of society are what give institutions their power. When we improve our intergroup relations, then our politics will work for and listen to all of Wisconsin instead of functioning out of urban-rural tensions. Then, we can overcome our current divide to be kinder and more neighborly than we’ve ever been before. This will help Wisconsin as a whole return to the direction it has lost, but the one it’s meant to follow: Forward. Mitchell is a senior majoring in sociology and Portuguese.

iscouraging. Disturbing. Disrespectful. Disgusting. These are a few words used by the Committee on Student Organizations and the international fraternity Sigma Chi to describe the recent actions of UW-Madison’s chapter of the fraternity. Sigma Chi’s members, roughly 50 of them, participated in a chant that “encouraged sexual assault” and “contributed to a culture of fear and concern,” according to the CSO. The chant is an anthem of rape culture. Lyrics, if they can be dignified with the term, include: “We’re going to throw her against the wall and we’re going to fuck her, and then fuck her mother and sister. We’re going to line up 100 girls on the wall and fuck them until we have blue balls.” To add some words to the initial list, it is triggering, dangerous, violent and not unexpected. An assistant dean investigated the initial report and found the fraternity’s actions, though reprehensible, not unique. He stated many other groups in Greek life sang similar chants. Despite condemnation from this investigator, the CSO— whose job it is to oversee student organizations and their violations—and later representatives from the fraternity itself, the only violations resulting in the suspension of Sigma Chi deal with alcohol. True, by basic definition, these chants are protected under free speech, as a university spokesperson was quick to mention. However, there are instances when hiding behind the defense of free speech is not enough. The noose incident last fall proved this, context is important and when sexual assault is involved, it is invaluable. It could be said that yelling fire in a crowded theater, the cliché example of the limitations of free speech, creates a culture of fear and concern. On a campus in which one in four women will experience sexual assault during their time here, chanting about rape is our equivalent of shouting fire. UW-Madison spokesperson Meredith McGlone explained that “established legal principles” are the origins of the Student Organization Code of Conduct, meaning “the university can sanction speech when it meets the definition of behaviors such as harassment, discrimination, and creation of a hostile environment.” The distinction between a “hostile environment” and “culture of fear and concern,” however, is not clear. The only way the CSO pursued punishing the chant was through a hazing violation. Hazing only takes into account the discomfort of members par-
ticipating in the activity. Since the chant was performed “voluntarily,” and it was “unclear if any of the membership considered the song to be degrading or humiliating,” according to the CSO, the chant wasn’t a violation. It is not a violation on this campus to willingly perpetuate rape culture. It is not punishable to memorize these words and hide complicity behind brotherhood. In the university’s initial statement about Sigma Chi’s suspension, the chant wasn’t mentioned. To the university, it was not worth mentioning. It was not worth talking about. McGlone defended this lack of mention by explaining the statement “focused on the behavior for which the chapter was sanctioned.” She also said the university is not required to release information about suspensions, and that they were forthcoming when asked for more information. The university is doing more than its required to, and informing students of suspensions is valuable. However, transparency loses its worth when information is edited and important details are not included. Choosing to leave out the chant left out an essential part of the conversation. We, as students, deserve transparent administration. We deserve to know, as a form of public service announcement, that a fraternity has done something so despicable. Our Editorial Board has said it before, we’ll say it again—transparency is not just a buzzword. It is essential to our community. If all authority voices are condemning Sigma Chi’s actions, why is there no violation? Those in charge of policing student organizations should have been able to find them in violation. If that involves changing the Student Organization Code of Conduct, these changes need to start now. In our campus climate, we cannot have rules in place that allow clear encouragement of sexual assault to continue. Actions like these cannot be called discouraging, disturbing, disrespectful and disgusting and still be accepted. Beyond policy, task forces and conversations filled with jargon, it is true that we as a campus community need to talk about this behavior. But the responsibility of defining and enforcing what is wrong on campus falls to administrators. We have only one word left: shame. How did you respond to Sigma Chi’s chant? Do you think the university’s Student Organization Code of Conduct should be changed? Please send all comments, questions and concerns to editorialboard@dailycardinal.com.

Moraine by Matthew Stokdyk
there is a witch in the kettles, whose house is in a subtle glen. she brews in a lakebed cauldron and picks her teeth with arrowheads. she only emerges in the fall, summer too humid for her toadskin, winter too dry for her warts. she is pale when she rises from the mud, ’til she sucks color from the leaves. the hikers don’t know she makes the world yellow, and if they did I reckon they’d think it was a gift, and not just a hunger for green flesh. sometimes she scuttles out to the road, when a truck careens and kills a deer and she cuts it open with her teeth and reads the rutting entrails. moths beat on her windows, fluttering their wings on the frames and bloodying their heads on the panes. oh leaves, oh leaves she hums, your mothers grieve. oh leaves, oh leaves she sings. cold winter comes— I’ve got to leave. so she hikes back down to her coven hole and sleeps to the sound of snowflakes Almanac Fun Fact: Dolphins are secretly just obese fish.

With the introduction of this new app comes the partnership of Tinder with Facebook and Google Glass. Similarly to the classic Tinder, you log into the app and verify your existence as a human being by using Facebook. If you do not have a Facebook you can currently not use the app. On launch the app is not compatible with the relic known as Google Plus. However, the good folks at Tinder have informed us that they are working on a
way for you to communicate with others without the use of Facebook. Something about making noises with your mouth and vocalizing your thoughts. I can’t wait to find out what that is! After you log into the app you’re almost ready to go! This is where the partnership between Tinder and Google comes in. That Google Glass you bought because you’re a hipster finally has some use. Just throw those babies on, walk out the door and you’re ready to use the app. When you see someone who has a Tinder or TindIRL account the app will project a retina display to the Google Glass. In order to “like” someone wink with your right eye, to “dislike” someone wink with your left eye and to “Super Like” someone wink with both of your eyes.
After you match with someone, it’s back to what you’d normally do on Tinder. Just walk up to your prospective partner and use that opener that you would have tried out if you ever got a match! A name pun is always a good place to start. However, if you’re not sure what to say, you can try one of the many opening lines that the app will suggest to you. Opening lines such as: “What’s the difference between me and my couch?” “Do you eat ass?” or the classic “Ey bby, wnt sum fuk?” With lines such as these you’re practically guaranteed to make a great first impression with the potential love of your life! Keep your eye out for this new app that lets you meet online people, in real life! It launches on the App Store and the Google Play Store Jan. 30!

Read of the Week
Executive encounter: Bohannon, Badgers recall meeting President Obama in 2012 On visit along campaign trail, 44th President provided Wisconsin squad with lasting memory. In the weeks leading up to Story by Obama’s visit, junior forward Bohannon made it clear Ben Pickman Zach that meeting the president was a While waiting in line for more than an hour, junior forward Zach Bohannon decided to strike up a conversation with outgoing Wisconsin senator Herb Kohl. They talked for a short time about Wisconsin basketball, about recent Milwaukee Bucks draft pick and former Badger Jon Leuer and even a little politics. Bohannon and Kohl were toward the end of a line of more than 75 people all waiting to meet the President of the U.S. The day was Thursday, Oct. 4, 2012, and the most powerful man in the world was in town. President Obama was slated to speak on Bascom Hill to energize UW’s campus in the midst of his reelection effort.
“I don’t know how it’s gonna work, but I promise you, we’re gonna meet the president.” Zach Bohannon former forward Wisconsin men’s basketball
The President would go on to speak to 30,000 people that afternoon, but minutes before gracing the stage, he met the Badgers. Five years later, with President Obama now out of office, the time, while brief, spent with the president remains one of the highlights of many players’ UW tenures. However, the meeting almost didn’t happen. Early that Thursday morning, the Badgers still didn’t have private passes to meet the president. They had finished their morning lift and were preparing for the afternoon’s conditioning session. “I think that day we were running the hill,” George Marshall, a freshman guard on the team, said. “That would have been pretty tough.” The notorious hill at Elver Park was penciled in on the team’s schedule that afternoon. A meeting with the president seemed unlikely.
top priority. In the days prior, Bohannon had taken to Twitter to try and connect with any and everyone who maybe, just maybe, could contact Obama. Bohannon tweeted at people in the sports media who might have had a tie to the president. He sought out various political figures. He even reached out to Craig Robinson, the then-head basketball coach at Oregon State University and brother of Michelle Obama, to see if he could help out. All in all, Bohannon estimates he sent out more than 100 tweets to various people, hoping he and his teammates could meet the president that afternoon. “I kept telling the team, ‘we’re gonna make this happen, some way or another. I don’t know how it’s gonna work, but I promise you we’re gonna meet the president,’” Bohannon said. “And they all kind of laughed at me, thinking it was me being me.” While Bohannon struggled to find a connection that could potentially get them access, Marshall, weeks into his career at UW, realized he knew someone who could potentially make Bohannon’s promise come to fruition. Marshall, a Chicago native, was once coached by one of Obama’s closest friends, Marty Nesbitt. Nesbitt’s son, Alex, was also on the team. That morning Marshall called Marty, the campaign treasurer of President Obama’s campaign in 2008, and relayed his team’s request. Initially the White House only offered Marshall five passes, so the freshman guard promptly called Bohannon. “I was like, ‘first off me and you are going, but see if we can get more tickets than that,’” Bohannon recalled. “‘I don’t care if the coaches go, we are gonna get 15 tickets for our whole team or no one’s going.’” Marshall relayed the message to the White House representative and minutes later, Bohannon’s

Just after noon, the Badgers would be ushered from holding room to holding room. Ben Brust, a junior guard on the team, recalls the intense security in and around the building. Bohannon remembers that an escort took them to an entrance at the side of the hall. They were giddy anticipating his arrival, hoping for the chance to merely ask President Obama if he wanted to play some pickup basketball. “At this time everyone was pretty giddy,” Bohannon said. “And then he finally walked in.” The president started shaking the hands of the other people in the room. The Badgers were at the very back of the VIP line. But the group of 15 college students, ranging from six-feet to sevenfeet tall, wearing matching red Wisconsin sweatshirts, jumped out to the president.

After a few introductions and photographs with other VIP’s, the president briefly stopped shaking hands. He turned

around and saw the Badgers. He let out a big smile, called for their attention and imitated his own left-handed jump shot. “At that point, we were literally bouncing off the wall like we just had a big dunk in a game,” Bohannon said. “We were shoving each other, saying, ‘there’s no way the president just did that.’” As the president continued to make his way down the line, Bohannon made sure he would be the first Badger to introduce himself. He was the initial messenger after all, tasked with asking the president the question on his teammate’s minds: Would he one day return and play basketball with them? President Obama laughed at Bohannon’s request, but promised to one day return after the election was over. He admitted he was grizzled and didn’t shoot much anymore. He asked the team whom he should pass to. Senior guard Ryan Evans shot his hand up. “You should pass it to me,” he said. Dan Fahey spoke up next. “You could pass to me. I’m a lefty like you,” the junior guard said. The president took a few pictures with the Badgers. Bohannon estimates he spent about five minutes talking with the team as well. Moments he later, he would speak to 30,000 enthused people on Bascom Hill. Only one member of that team still walks Bascom Hill and still plays at the Kohl Center. Zak Showalter was a little less than six weeks into his first year at UW when he met the president. “Kind of like one of the first things I really did in college was get to meet President Obama,” Showalter said. “Not many kids can say that. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity. You don’t get to meet many Presidents of the United States.” Bohannon though has actually met multiple presidents, including President George W. Bush at the Final Four the very next year. “Meeting two presidents is a fleeting moment,” Bohannon said. “It’s an awesome experience, awesome opportunity. But
the lasting experiences that I build around those opportunities is more important.” To this day, Bohannon still tells the stories of meeting both President Obama and President Bush not only to peers, but also at job interviews. He one day hopes to go into politics and said he has learned a lot from both meetings about how to connect with prospective voters.
“You could pass to me. I’m a lefty like you.”

Marshall, who later transferred from UW to South Dakota State University, views it as one of the highlights of his experience in Madison. Brust isn’t as braggadocios about meeting President Obama. “I try not to be that guy,” he said. “I’ll take the Final Four and Michigan buzzer beater over him.” Coming back to Madison to play pickup with the Badgers was a promise the president did not keep. But the offer did help serve as the president’s introductory remarks that afternoon on Bascom Hill. “He reiterated his commitment,” Bohannon recalled. “Saying, ‘the basketball team invited me to play. I said I’m getting kinda old, but that after the election I’ll be draining down threes on them.’” Five years later, with Obama now out of office, maybe one day he’ll return to Madison to fulfill his promise. But even if he doesn’t, that meeting will still go down as one of the highlights for the 2012 Badgers. “That was four or five years ago for me, so I’ve come a long way,” Showalter said. “I don’t have as many gray hairs as he might have now.” “We’ve done a lot of cool things. I’ve met a lot of cool people going to Final Fours and stuff, but that’s definitely top five.”
