Speaker series event calls for clarity, ends in protest By Bri Maas THE DAILY CARDINAL

The Young, Gifted and Black Coalition kicked off its Black Lives Matter Speaker Series Friday with a talk on community influence over the police force given by Max Rameau, a campaign organizer and human rights activist. Rameau began the talk by commending past social movements, like the Civil Rights and Black Power movements, for setting the stage and creating a political space where people of color can organize. “It wasn’t that long ago that if a black person came to Wisconsin or anywhere else in this country and said, ‘We need

to have control over the police,’ the speech would have ended early, and probably in a lynching,” Rameau said. “We’re here only because of a social movement that made it possible for us to be here. Throughout his talk Rameau compared the Black Lives Matter movement, a nationwide response to police brutality against black suspects, with the Civil Rights Movement. He emphasized that both involve many smaller actions across the country happening all at once, with various groups confronting diverse issues. However, he said one sigTHOMAS YONASH/THE DAILY CARDINAL

UW-Madison closes protested cat research laboratory UW-Madison announced the closure of its contentious cat research laboratory Friday, according to a university release. The university cited the retirement of neuroscience professor Tom Yin, who headed the

experiments, as reason for the lab’s closure, refuting claims that controversy amid protests from animal rights groups played a part in the closure. The lab’s experiments on hearing in humans and ani-

mals, which drew allegations of mistreatment of cats from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals in 2013, ended several months ago, according to the release. While PETA carried out

several protests against the lab last year, federal investigators cleared the university to continue the experiments, according to UW-Madison’s animal research website. Yin decided to retire more

than a year ago when his National Institute for Health research grant was up for renewal, according to the release. The university added that Yin’s work would have likely received a grant renewal.

UW-Madison sophomore helps save orphaned animals in Central America By Bri Maas THE DAILY CARDINAL

UW-Madison sophomore Mitch Thomas has always had a profound interest in animals. He grew up in a house of dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters, but his real passion is a much more unique animal. “I don’t know why, but I’ve always had an obsession with manatees, ever since, like, third grade,” Thomas said. Since then, Thomas has exercised his love for the sea cow by swimming with manatees on vacation and being a member of the Save the Manatees club. When the opportunity to travel to Belize for an internship presented itself last summer, Thomas said it was a “dream come true.” The pre-veterinary student spent two months working

at Wildtracks, a primate and manatee rehabilitation center that relies heavily on volunteers and donations, to return orphaned animals to health so they can survive in the wild. Thomas began his internship working as a surrogate parent for an infant howler monkey named Innie. “[The monkeys] were like human babies, which was kind of funny,” Thomas said. “We had to plan around their nap times and their feeds. They would have temper tantrums if we didn’t let them go where they wanted to, or they didn’t have their favorite fruit or they didn’t want to take a nap.” Near the end of his eight-week stay, an orphaned manatee was found stranded and Thomas was asked to help rescue and reha-

bilitate the calf. He said he was infatuated with the animal right away, which inspired the name for the baby manatee. “Someone put my name on the list of possible names and I thought it was a joke,” Thomas said, “but as they kept eliminating names, mine stayed and eventually they decided to call him Mitch.” Since primates and manatees typically stay at the rehabilitation center for two to three years before being released, Thomas said the animals he worked with will likely still be there when he goes back this summer. “I’m excited to see how they’ve all improved and how big they’ve gotten,” Thomas said. “I hope that I can work with Little Mitch and Innie again.”

Interview with a Bangin’ Badger Babe, Part 1

edit@dailycardinal.com

tODAY: snow

Alex tucker sex columnist

elcome back, Badgers! As many of you know and constantly lament, it’s my last semester as The Dirty Bird (the D is silent). As a treat, I’ll be doing a segment the last Monday of each month called “Interview with a Bangin’ Badger Babe.” This enchanting series will aim to open our eyes about our classmates— from what they look for in a partner to who they look for between their sheets and all of their sexual and dating habits in between!

Per usual, the most interesting questions come from you, the readers. Whether you’re wondering if the average hottie likes dirty talk or Photowhat kind of porn they watch, send those questions right to sex@dailycardinal.com and I’ll see what I can do! This week, my go-to go-out friend, alias Jane Doe and I sat down in our favorite Madison coffee shop to dish out some advice she felt the dudes of UW needed to hear.

Jane: Why are there so many pussy guys in Madison? If one just came up to me and started talking or even said something forward like, “Wanna get out of here?” I would probably have sex with them! I wish that more guys would have courage and take initiative! If they did and I think they’re hot, I would probably fuck them or date them!

Alex: What advice do you have for people looking to date someone like you? Jane: I really appreciate a guy who is super straightforward. I wish people would say what they want and what they are feeling since I’m not that good at picking up signals. I don’t really know when a guy is interested until he tells me!

Alex: A lot of girls care about gifts in a relationship. What would your ideal gift be, and when do you expect gifts from a date or boyfriend?

Alex: What do you look for in a partner?

Jane: For me, gifts aren’t super important, but if I have a friend-with-benefits or a boyfriend I would expect something for my birthday. Nothing big, maybe flowers and a card, a bottle of champagne to share.

Jane: I really want someone who is respectful and dedicated to the relationship. They need to have a good sense of humor and of course be attractive. He has to enjoy doing things, you know, not just sitting at home. I want an activities partner. Most importantly, he has to love all the weird things that I like.

It really depends on the relationship; if it’s a serious relationship, ideally I would want something like a necklace or a puppy. If it’s just casual dating, it could be something cute, hopefully reflecting an inside joke or something I really like. That can be pretty much anything as long as it means something to me.

Alex: Like what?

Alex: How important is physical attraction when selecting a mate?

Jane: Well, it’s not weird. He has to be into “The League,” beer and sports. I guess I call that weird because it’s less typical for a girl (especially one who wears mostly pink) to like those things.

Jane: It’s pretty important. I think that’s the first thing we all see before we see what kind of person they are. Everyone has their own specific thing that turns them on, and mine would be height (at

least 6’2”) and what I like to call “Golden.”

Alex: Explain “Golden.” Jane: Tan skin and blonde hair. Kinda has that “Abercrombie model” look. Someone I can picture on the beach, surfing. I guess they don’t have to have blonde hair, but that would definitely be a plus.

Alex: So where do you find these “Golden” guys? Jane: I only hang out on my couch, at The Plaza and at the School of Music in Humanities. But if I were to go on a date, I’d want to go to a restaurant, bar or coffee shop on State Street. Not a fratty bar but a nice one—Paul’s Club, Icon, et cetera.

Jane: I love it and it’s super important in a relationship. It can’t just be anyone, you just click with some people better than other people. If I were to keep connections with that person, I’d like to have sex on a regular basis.

Alex: What’s the most fun sexual encounter you’ve ever had? Jane: There was this one guy in town for a conference, and it was just really fast paced. We met and he said, “I’m going home with you tonight,” and he did! It was dirty like a porno—but I didn’t have to worry about cameras. It was just really fun and there were absolutely no strings attached. I’ve also had sex on my balcony, stark naked. That was fun.

Alex: What would be a huge turn on for you?

I wish that more guys would have courage and take initiative! If they did and I think they’re hot, I would probably fuck them or date them!

Alex: Have you ever been in love? Jane: Yes. Twice. And they were both boyfriends from high school. I haven’t been in love with a Badger yet, but I would like to.

Alex: Do you ever think about the future, like marriage? Jane: All the time but not with specific people. I think about where I’ll be and what kind of husband he will be. And obviously how much sex we’re gonna have each day.

Alex: So do you like having sex? How important is sex in your relationships?

Jane: If a guy made eye contact with me and then just made out with me in public. Making out in a bar or in public makes me feel really turned on and makes me feel like I’m the only girl in the world. It’s intimate, but you’re in a public space, and that he doesn’t care about that is just so sexy to me.

Alex: Now grand finale question—I feel like guys always wonder about this stuff and are too uncomfortable to ask. Do you watch porn? Do you have a vibrator? Would you want to do those things with a partner? Yes, yes and yes! I think guys don’t know that quite a lot of girls have vibrators. Guys are always surprised when they see mine!

Are you a Badger Babe looking to share your secrets with the Dirty Bird’s readers? Do you have questions for the next interviewee? Email Alex at sex@dailycardinal.com to put in your two cents!

Gov. Scott Walker rallied Republicans with a conservative message at the Iowa Freedom Summit.

Gov. Walker woos national Republicans at Iowa summit By Andrew Hahn THE DAILY CARDINAL

Gov. Scott Walker shared a stage with several Republican presidential hopefuls over the weekend at a national conservative convention in Iowa. Walker, clad in the familiar rolled-up sleeves and solid tie of any campaigning candidate, rallied attendees at the Iowa Freedom Summit, as did former Republican presidential and vicepresidential candidates including former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and other blockbuster names in the Republican Party. Many Wisconsin politicians have publicly speculated that Walker plans to run for president in a 2016 Republican primary, and Democrats have accused him of ignoring Wisconsin’s concerns while he campaigns. In a speech resembling the intersection of a State of the

Union address and a pep rally, Walker began by thanking Iowa Republicans for helping his 2012 and 2014 campaigns by volunteering and donating to his campaign. He said he appreciated their prayers most of all as he had received several death threats while hundreds of thousands of demonstrators protested his collective bargaining restrictions at Wisconsin’s Capitol. “In a way I have to apologize, because the occupy movement began in Wisconsin four years ago and then went to Wall Street, so my apologies for that,” Walker said. Walker spent most of his speech giving the audience an overview of his accomplishments as Wisconsin’s governor. Specifically, Walker listed a balanced budget, pro-life legislation, defunding Planned Parenthood and cutting taxes on a long political resume. “[My campaign] was about

showing that common sense conservative reforms can actually work and can work in a blue state like Wisconsin,” Walker said. “If they can work in Wisconsin, they can work anywhere in the country.” President Barack Obama became a recurring target of Walker’s speech as the governor touted a lawsuit he vowed to file in his recent State of the State address alleging new Environmental Protection Agency regulations are illegal. Walker ended his speech by vowing to return to Iowa “many more times” and explained his vision for America’s foreign policy. “We need a president who doesn’t sit in Washington, D.C., when world leaders are standing together against terrorism in Paris,” Walker said to standing applause. “We need leaders who will stand with our allies against radical Islamic terrorists.”

nificant difference between the movements is something called ideological clarity. In other words, the Civil Rights Movement was successful because its activists and organizers all agreed upon what the fundamental issue was, and the Black Lives Matter movement will fail unless a consensus can be made about what the core problem is, Rameau said. The speaker said the “art and science” of building social movements requires that, once the main objective is clear, it is up to the people to craft an organized march in that direction, rather than rely on small urban rebellions. “If bravery, creativity and just being all-around kickass people were to somehow lead directly to liberation, we wouldn’t be having all the problems we’re experiencing right now,” he said. “The real challenge we have is convincing people to engage in the struggle in a real way.” Rameau said protesters face many threats in choosing to be a part of the movement, from standing in the cold to possible arrests, so it is important that they fully understand their demands and do not waste the struggle they endure. “We have people willing to act, but we’re not yet sure what we’re acting for,” Rameau said. “We cannot, as an unorganized mob, end a system of oppression.” “Subpar demands,” like police body cameras and more training for officers, are solutions to surface issues, but they fail to address the nature of the problem: that police are an occupying, colonial force in the black communities they should serve to protect, Rameau said. Rameau suggested the movement must demand selfdetermination and consent of

the governed, specifically by choosing citizens from each community to form committees that would make decisions about the police force in that area. These community boards, according to Rameau, would control the police to ensure the people in that area are being served exactly how they want to be. “We have an opportunity in this moment to fundamentally shift power in this country from communities that have all the power to those that have none,” Rameau said. “We cannot squander this moment. We have to rise up to its occasion.” His words were put into action as the talk concluded and a crowd of more than 100 students and community members moved to the streets, eventually shutting down the 700 block of University Avenue. The Madison Police Department knew about the protest and had time to prepare its reaction, MPD Lt. Kelly Donahue said. Officers watched over the protest and assisted the demonstrators in blocking traffic. Young, Gifted and Black members led chants like, “build the people, not the jail” and listed their specific demands, including the release of 350 black prisoners from Dane County Jail and the end of solitary confinement. UW-Madison alumna Eve Bertrand held a picket sign and joined the chants for an hour, saying it was worth it to be a part of a change despite the cold temperatures. “I was born and raised in Madison,” Bertrand said. “We live in a very racist state, and I’m very passionate about doing my best to challenge that system of oppression.” The speaker series will continue through the spring with five more scheduled talks.

Governor denies bid to build Kenosha casino, cites risk of lawsuit against state By Anne Schoenfeldt THE DAILY CARDINAL

Gov. Scott Walker announced Friday he will not approve the long-debated Menominee Tribe’s Kenosha casino proposal, a project that would have resulted in the creation of an off-reservation casino in southeastern Wisconsin. The decision follows the proposal’s approval by the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs in August 2013. Walker issued a trial period for the casino but ultimately did not approve its construction. A report by the Wisconsin Department of Administration estimated the Kenosha casino would create 3,900 jobs and generate $601 million in economic output. Despite the potential economic gains, Walker rejected the proposal, citing the risk of litigation costs as well as the

policies of his predecessor, former Gov. Jim Doyle. The same report, released Friday, found that approving the Menominee Tribe’s bid to build the casino could open the state up to lawsuits from other Wisconsin tribes. DOA Secretary Mike Huebsch, a Walker appointee, attributed the risk of litigation to compacts with tribes negotiated by Doyle. “After a comprehensive review of the potential economic impact of the proposed Kenosha casino project, the risk to the state’s taxpayers is too great,” Walker said in a statement Friday. Walker’s decision drew criticism from both sides of the aisle, as well as from the Menominee Tribe. “It is our belief that this project would have improved

the lives of the nearly 9,000 members of the Tribe. Instead, one Tribe – the Forest County Potawatomi and one goal of Governor Walker – the Presidency has led to a no for our people,” Laurie Boivin, chair of the Menominee Tribe, said in a statement. Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, said he was disappointed with Walker’s decision. However, he maintained the real person to blame is Jim Doyle and his legislation involving negotiations with other tribes. “I am extremely disappointed in Governor Walker’s decision today,” Vos said in a statement. “We all have a right to be angry and frustrated that we will not gain thousands of jobs, and an $800 million development will be lost.”

Mexican ritual masks beckoned me from the rafters as I entered the front door of the Barrymore Theater Wednesday night. The Devil Makes Three’s sold out performance, with opener Joe Pug, promised to be at least the most captivating display of humanity in Madison, if not the most enthralling musical performance I have witnessed this winter. As I settled into my seat on the balcony, the twinkling stars in the ceiling above helped to set the mood for the acoustic, Americana music that was emanating from the stage. With Joe Pug playing guitar, along with his upright bass player and greasy electric guitarist, they poured out their hearts to the already near-full theater. Through the grittiness of his trained vocals and revealing lyrics, Pug showed that country music isn’t dead; the legend of artists such as Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson will not fade into the darkness as the heart of country music fades with them. Joe Pug is evidence that what we hear on the radio is not all that remains of this important genre in American culture. The lack of drums behind Joe Pug and his bandmates made his short set more entertaining than a typical country concert. By distancing himself from the upbeat and annoying boisterousness of modern country, Joe Pug became more relatable to followers of different musical genres. His singer/songwriter

After Joe Pug graciously relinquished the stage, I decided to take a bit of a jaunt around the premises to read the venue’s mood. From full camouflage outfits, to a plethora of longhaired, Willie Nelson impersonators, the Barrymore’s clientele proved eclectic. It was a different cultural mix than

a concert taking place in close proximity to the Capitol. Feeling a bit out of place, I returned to my seat and allowed The Devil Makes Three to speak for themselves, instead of judging them by their fan base. This strategy resulted in less than favorable results. Three large banners were unveiled in the blackness before The Devil Makes Three took the stage and long, eerie guitar chords cut through the

Finding inspiration for the new year is as easy as opening a book Maham Hasan

lit columnist

t is curious how a new year brings with it the longing for new beginnings, new attitudes and a new self. How much of it is actually possible though still seems quite shrouded in uncertainty, but there is no denying the furor of resolutions we witness around us during this time. I, for one, have always held quite a healthy amount of disdain for New Year’s resolutions. It seems superfluous for me to hold out for the hand of the clock to strike midnight into the new year to put into effect everything you want to do, and all that you wish to change. I do believe very strongly that if you are to have resolutions for the new year the best ones are those that consist entirely of books. Books will inspire you to not only hold onto resolutions all year but continuously create new ones. Because, at the heart of it, despite all our yearly pledges, what we’re all really and truly looking for is some inspiration. What better place to look for inspiration that within books. Since inspiration is always found in the strangest places, and

merely wanting to find it is not enough, I knew that concocting a list of books that will inspire you into 2015 by my own hand would be futile. But “inspiration” nevertheless still struck, excuse the sad pun, and it occurred to me that I wanted nothing more than to read books that have inspired my friends. “The Sirens of Titan” by Kurt Vonnegut starts the list, recommended by a friend with a fondness for literary masterpieces that venture out into alternate universes. He remarked, “It is a book about how silly the notion of humanity’s purpose is and it inspired me to make up my own meaning to life.” Now, a foundation for feminism: “The Awakening” by Kate Chopin. It stayed with a friend who read it when she was merely 16, and one who is still searching to be drawn into a book like she was with this one. In her own words though, “A romance aspect that seemed like a deep love drew me in but it also tied in with female desire and sexuality, as well as feminism and gender roles to it. All of that made it stay with me.” Someone who is never without sage advice and is an enthusiast for tackling the big questions recommended “Tuesdays with Morrie” by Mitch Albom, a story about life’s greatest lesson. I do not even

need more reasons to pick up this one, but I was given some pretty great ones anyway. “Because he tackles life’s biggest disappointments and dreams all in one short book. It’s very relatable and candid. It’s based on a true story and he doesn’t hold back details because they are ugly or make him look bad.” New Year’s should not only be about discovering new things but also about second chances. So it seems almost poetic to end with a book that we’re all familiar with, “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” by Stephen Chbosky. If anything were to convince me to pursue it now, it would be the words of a friend, a most avid reader, with a flawless taste in literature. “It inspired me to take pride and glorify my own mind; to live life instead of just imagining and thinking about it. It taught me that we are all completely twisted and messed up, and so are our friends, but you have to accept that and find the glory in being a misfit.” So like I said, inspiration can be found in the strangest and most unexpected places. Here’s to an inspired 2015! Do you have a book that inspires you? Email mhasan4@ wisc.edu, and read the full list online at dailycardinal.com

darkness. Other than a stuck curtain on the banner at the rear of the stage, the large eyes staring out from the decorations were sufficiently intriguing. In fact, the stage’s décor was the most intriguing part of their whole set. With Pete Bernhard on guitar, Cooper McBean playing banjo and guitar–flaunting a greasy appearance mysteriously similar to Joe Pug’s electric guitarist– and Lucia Turino

handling the upright bass, this band looked awfully similar to the opening act. Yet, this group had no wide appeal in mind right from the beginning. For a band that is marketed as a mix of different genres, some of which appeal to me very strongly, the only thing that crossed my mind during their entire set was that I must have been transported to hoedown being held in a local barn. The bouncing bass line that carried the fast paced banjo and guitar in song after song was about enough to make me go insane. The musical highlight was Turino’s onstage presence. Not only were the songs featuring her vocals more palatable, but her bass playing style was effortless and entertaining. She seemed to be having more fun gyrating this large, wooden instrument than playing the music itself. Her bass slapping and maneuverability around the fingerboard was the most musically entertaining feature of this set. Otherwise, Bernhard’s yelling lyrics, McBean’s vocal likeness to Willie Nelson and the aggressive banjo shredding simply did not do it for me. As I began my exit from the theater, the sound of the upright bass followed me all the way down the stairs from the balcony to the foyer. I took one last look at the camouflage pants and bouncing poser hillbillies and headed for the front entrance. The Mexican ritual masks bid me safe travels home as I took the first steps of my journey through the cold January evening.

Lupe Fiasco returns to form on Tetsuo & Youth CD REVIEW

Tetsuo & Youth Lupe Fiasco By Jacinta Tian The Daily Cardinal

Lupe Fiasco’s Tetsuo & Youth , the rapper’s fifth album, might remind audiences of Japanese manga character Tetsuo Shima, but Fiasco may have chosen the title only because it sounds cool. The album may show resilience after his previous struggles with Atlantic Records, his fallen popularity and announcing retirement last year. This album stayed away from major political engagement, rather, and Fiasco is back at his old job, especially on the nine-minute, non-stop rap on the intro track, “Mural.” Inspired by his own upbringing in Chicago’s West Side, where crime is abundant, songs such as “Prisoner 1 & 2” touches on the prison-industrial complex

and dives into multiple minds to evaluate both the prisoner’s thoughts, as well as the prison guards’. “Deliver” took another angle and used the signified pizza delivery car as a symbol of exploring the neglected neighborhoods where crime flourishes. On the other hand, there are also beautiful lines, such as in “They.Resurrent.Over. New,” featuring Ab-Soul and Troi, where he sang, “High as the angel on Dikembe’s shoulder.” Also important to point out, apart from his words; the album’s cover is an art work of his own, expressing his passion for painting. This album is definitely a turnaround for Fiasco’s career; contradicting with his lively performance on front stages, his production team has not produced equally lively backing tracks for him, different from past efforts. Overall, from the audience’s reaction during a preview show last Nov. 1 in Jacksonville, Florida, the fans are still out there shouting for Fiasco, and his simple motivation of just making music.

verything in the world has some consequences. Today, our world is moving fast; the speed of economic boom in many developing nations is amazing. Unfortunately, there are some negative consequences of this economic progress. One of those is the increase of chronic illness in those countries.

According to The New York Times, deaths from chronic diseases have risen 50 percent in low- and middleincome countries.

Generally, most people in developing nations die from acute diseases: illnesses that come with severe and sudden symptoms. For example, miners in developing nations are less likely to have protective gear for their respiratory systems during work and therefore would have a higher chance of acquiring acute respiratory conditions than those in developed countries. This trend of increasing chronic disease deaths in poorer nations enables us to make multiple assumptions about the wellbeing of their citizens. According to The New York Times, deaths from chronic diseases have risen 50 percent in low- and middle-income countries. This is interesting because of changes in mortality rate patterns; death rates from infectious diseases such as malaria or tuberculosis are declining. Both acute and infectious diseases are disappearing because of the increased access of health campaigns to general populations, including hand washing, sanitation and vaccines. Also, the infant mortality rates have rapidly declined, which contributes to the longer life expectancy in those countries. In the absence of acute diseases, chronic diseases are ravaging these nations. Chronic diseases have symptoms that accumulate over a longer period of time. Due to their enduring symptoms, chronic illnesses often require patients to receive treatments regularly. These kinds of deaths are generally more common in developed nations like the U.S. It takes a long time for people to be hit by these diseases. For example, people here usually don’t get a heart attack at age 20. Unfortunately, it’s mostly the younger people who suffer from chronic illnesses in developing nations. The lack of health treatment centers in the poorer countries worsens their conditions. They are given little preventive care or treatments while they are being fully exposed to air pollutants and poor nutrition from rapid industrialization. Lowerincome countries have a complicated death rate: 40 percent

of deaths due to diseases occur in people younger than 60, compared with 13 percent in developed countries. The high chronic illness death rates among young populations indicate some potential dangers; this trend could overburden the country and slow its economic growth. The problem of rapid economic growth comes from a different development pattern, courtesy of the European powers, that took more years to prepare and to adapt to the growth. Of course, the industrialization in Europe came at painful costs, but the slower rate of development gave them enough time to create campaigns for the health care system to adjust and ensure people received adequate treatment.

In the absence of acute diseases, chronic diseases are ravaging these nations.

Industrialization often widens the gap between the wealthy and impoverished, a sad logic in capitalism. Only a few actually benefit from the economic gains of the country overall, and the poor majority becomes poorer overtime. Since the countries are still developing, there will be fewer who profit from the growth because the governments are likely to prevent fair distribution of wealth in order to increase profits of the industries. It gets worse as the economy progresses and the currency value correspondingly goes up. Therefore, many poor people cannot afford the rising costs of treatments. The ever-growing gap between the wealthy and the poor contributes to the increase of chronic diseases. While the spending for cures has tripled, the conditions seem to improve little.

Therefore, many poor people cannot afford the rising costs of treatments.

Private interests alone cannot solve this problem. Governments should try to implement more equal access of health care to people regardless of wealth through a public health care system. It has socialist tendencies, and because of that some may frown upon this idea since many believe such policy would hinder capitalistic growth. However, the health problems in these countries are dangerous, and they could worsen their economic legacies as people of working age are unable to function properly. As the campaigns to pre-

vent acute deaths have brought progress, shouldn’t government campaigns to provide better health care be possible as well? Of course, it will be a longer process than the past campaigns for hand washing, but these coun-

tries better start to at least consider adopting new health policies in order to continue their economic achievements. What are your thoughts on Hae Rin’s take? Do you agree that there exists a connection

between economic progress and the quality of health care available? Do you agree with her solution? We want to know what you think. Please send all comments and feedback to opinion@ dailycardinal.com.

Spartans break UW down in the paint

the lone goal scorer, echoed Johnson’s attitude on the lack of goals. “It definitely can be a little frustrating, but we try not think of it like that. We’re getting shots to the net,” Sylvester said. “Every shot on net counts and it will come eventually.” It certainly did come on Sunday in the second game of the series. Wisconsin got the offense going early, with four shots on goal in the first two-and-a-half minutes, and they went on to finish the first period with 14. On the other side, Clarkson was held without a shot on goal until nearly 13 minutes into the period. After the first intermission, UW came out firing again, and freshman forward Annie Pankowski scored just three and a half minutes in. That goal opened the proverbial floodgates for the freshman phenom, who proceeded to take over the game. She scored again later in the second period, before topping off her second hat trick of the season early in the third. She was coy about her performance, following the game. “Our team was rolling on all cylinders,” Pankowski said. “I was just kind of the person there to finish them.” Her performance helped Coach Johnson earn his 350th win as Wisconsin’s head coach. He spoke highly on his

worse from page 8 opponent had it in spades. Senior Badger goalie Joel Rumpel looked shaky to begin the game, letting in two goals in the first two minutes, getting himself pulled early in favor of senior Landon Peterson in a move reminiscent of Michigan’s change the night before. However, Peterson also let in two goals in the first, and Rumpel was back in the game after the first intermission. He played well the rest of the game, only allowing two goals on 25 shots, but the damage had already been done. “Getting pulled, letting your team down like that, I wanted to come out and make some big saves and not let any in. That obviously didn’t happen,” Rumpel said.

While the empty Kohl Center stands by the end of the games showed that many fans had given up hope, the team still plans on grinding it out. “The mentality in the locker room is to keep going, keep the energy up on the bench, and to our credit I think we did that. I know you can’t see that on the ice, but we felt it. No one is giving up, we’re getting ready for Minnesota,” said senior forward Joseph LaBate. The Badgers will take on the No. 17 Golden Gophers (2-2-2, 12-9-2) at the Kohl Center next Friday and Saturday, starting at 8 p.m. and 7 p.m. respectively. The Badgers tied the Gophers, then won in a shootout, in one of the games in their series last weekend in Minnesota, so a Badger upset isn’t out of the question.

freshman’s development over this season. “[She’s] adapting to the college game,” Johnson said. Sylvester added a goal of her own, giving her 11 on the year and solidifying the Badgers’ 4-0 win over the Golden Knights. Desbiens recorded another shutout, saving all 24 of Clarkson’s shots on goal. Her defense helped the Badgers out, killing all six of the Golden Knights’ power plays.

It was a confidence building win across the board for Wisconsin, who have dealt with a rough 2015 schedule so far. They head to Minnesota State next week, before returning home to host Minnesota Duluth in a crucial matchup in the first series of February. These tough, late-season series will provide great experience for Johnson’s team as it prepares for a potential postseason run.

ARGOSY UNIVERSITY | 5.835 x 8.0” | CHICAGO | 12/04/14

While junior guards Nicole Bauman and Tessa Cichy produced career scoring highs in Sunday’s matchup against Michigan State, the Spartans (2-7 Big Ten, 10-10 overall) ultimately held off the Badgers (3-6 Big Ten, 7-12 Overall) 77-71 in East Lansing. Bauman’s 23 points and Cichy’s 15 points helped the Badgers keep the game relatively close throughout the duration of the game, but Michigan State capitalized off of rebounding and a dominant inside game. Wisconsin was outscored 36-22 in the paint and was outrebounded 49-31 by the Spartans. Led by sophomore forward Aerial Powers’ 23 points, 18 rebounds, and seven assists, Michigan State overmatched Wisconsin inside the paint in both halves of the game. Head coach Bobbie Kelsey asserted that, “We’re hurting because we don’t have an inside game. We just need more of that.” Though the Badgers did struggle with rebounding and insidethe-paint scoring, Wisconsin made nine three-pointers and shot 50 percent from beyond the arc. The efficient 3-point shooting led by Nicole Bauman enabled the Badgers to hang on to a 34-33 halftime lead, but within the first few minutes of the second half, the Spartans pulled away on a 20-7 run. By the 10:01 mark in the sec-

ond half, the Spartans lead 62-48 and controlled their comfortable lead for the remaining minutes of the game. Junior Dakota Whyte added 13 points and five steals for the Badgers, but the lack of balanced scoring hindered Wisconsin from gaining their lead back. Michigan State had four players in double digits, mainly due to free throw opportunities. Wisconsin sent the Spartans to the free throw line 17 times, and Michigan State benefited from this as they knocked down 15 free throws, versus the Badgers’ minuscule eight made buckets. “Their O boards and going to the free throw line,” Kelsey stated when asked what made the difference in the game. Sunday’s loss continued to frustrate the Badgers as they now ride on a three-game conference losing streak and have essentially paralleled the struggling season they had last year. “It’s disappointing for the kids because they do work hard and they’re trying to do what we ask them,” Kelsey said. After facing two AP ranked teams in the last two weeks, the Badgers should have optimism as an easier stretch of conference play approaches in the next couple weeks. This Thursday, Wisconsin will try to shake off their current losing streak as they face a mediocre Ohio State squad at the Kohl Center.

Badgers escape in OT By Jack Baer the daily cardinal

Less than a week ago, it looked like No. 6 Wisconsin’s Saturday opponent, Michigan, was dead in the water. The Wolverines (5-3 Big Ten, 12-8 overall) lost their star player Caris Levert, seemingly ruining a season that was already looking forgettable. The Badgers (6-1, 18-2) were going to get to throw Frank Kaminsky and company at a big man rotation consisting of two unheralded freshmen and a 6-foot-7 junior. The start of the game went according to script, with the Badgers jumping out to a 9-2 lead and looking dominant up front, either making open layups or grabbing offensive rebounds and kicking them out for easy threes. Michigan later made a run of its own halfway through the first half and took the lead with about five minutes remaining in the half. The 6-foot-7 Max Bielfeldt led this charge with three putback field goals to energize a team playing for credibility on the Big Ten landscape. Wisconsin responded with a 9-0 run to end the half and

went into the locker room with a comfortable 30-23 lead. The only question mark was junior forward Sam Dekker, who suffered a cut on his right hand after an emphatic dunk in transition. Dekker returned in the second half and played, but was used more as a decoy, likely because of pain in his hand. The second half ran similar to the first to start, with Wisconsin taking control and Michigan coming roaring back. The Wolverines kept pushing however, and tied the game 57-57 on a Derrick Walton Jr. contested 3-pointer with two seconds remaining, evoking the narrative of “Ben Brust payback.” Like the Badgers did to them two seasons ago, Michigan had tied the game in the final seconds against a Top 5 Wisconsin team. In overtime, the Badgers, once again, started strong by bursting out to an 8-2 run. However, this was a lead they never relinquished, escaping a raucous crowd and upset-minded Michigan with a 69-64 win. Kaminsky was his usual dominant self, scoring 22 points on 8-of-13 shooting and grabbing

9 rebounds. He was supported by a group of starters whom all scored at least 9 points apiece. Sophomore guard Bronson Koenig was impressive in particular as he contined to fill in for injured starter Traevon Jackson, out with a broken foot. Koenig registered 13 points, 4 assists and just one turnover. Overall, he continued to look much more aggressive as a starter and increased the likelihood of a starter controversy upon Jackson’s return. Less encouraging was the zero points scored by the Wisconsin bench. While the Badgers were for the most part able to pick apart Michigan’s zone defense thanks to Kaminsky and Nigel Hayes’ shooting ability, sophomore bench forward Vitto Brown looked lost and gave up two ugly turnovers. Redshirt sophomore guard Zak Showalter showed he isn’t likely to contribute on offense but still helps plenty in the rebounding and defense game. Head coach Bo Ryan and company will continue their road slate next Saturday at Iowa, looking to dominate the Hawkeyes for the second time in two weeks.

‘Frustrating’ was the word of the weekend by Badger players and coaches when talking about the consecutive drubbings by No. 16 Michigan at the Kohl Center Friday and Saturday. Coming into the series, one could guess that the two-win Badgers (0-5-1-1 Big Ten, 2-15-3 overall) would be outmatched by the No. 1 scoring team in the country, Michigan (7-1-0-0, 15-80), but not many expected it to go as badly as it did. Friday night, UW had a 4-1 lead over Michigan early in the second period, only to allow six unanswered goals to lose 7-4. After letting in three goals and playing poorly in the first, Wolverines junior goalie Steve Racine was pulled for sophomore Zach Nagelvoort. Other than one goal early in the second, Nagelvoort played lights out. Junior forward Justin Selman led the attack for Michigan, notching his first career hat trick and tallying an assist as well. On the weekend, Selman had six points, grabbing

another two assists Saturday. With a three-goal lead in the second, many would assume the Badgers had the game in their hands, but the coaching staff wasn’t as easily fooled. “We, as a coaching staff, saw things that were indicating that in our own zone we weren’t doing things that we needed to get possession of the puck. So we talked about it, but they ramped it up in the second, we didn’t move our feet, we were hooking, we were holding… I sure didn’t feel like we were in control,” said head coach Mike Eaves. Eaves said that he was looking forward to see who would respond better Saturday, and the Wolverines responded emphatically, winning the game 6-0. Nagelvoort started the game in net, and picked up right where he left off, saving the measly 17 shots the Badgers put up. Wisconsin was outshot 82-37 on the series, and that alone tells the story of why they couldn’t beat Michigan: They weren’t getting any offensive pressure and their

Wisconsin takes a win and a tie in Clarkson series By Bobby Ehrlich and Lorin Cox the daily cardinal

betsy osterberger/cardinal file photo

Karley Sylvester gave UW its lone goal Saturday in a game that could have seen many more, and added another Sunday.

In the first contest of a two game series with No. 7 Clarkson, the No. 3 Badgers dominated but failed to come away with a win. The battle ended in a 1-1 tie after a fairly uneventful overtime that only saw four total shots on goal. Wisconsin controlled most of the game and did an excellent job maintaining possession of the puck. The Badgers outshot the Golden Knights by a whopping margin, 35-14. Yet, Wisconsin struggled to find the back of the net, and ultimately one poor mistake in the defensive zone resulted in the game ending in a draw. Wisconsin head coach Mark Johnson cited the team’s scoring struggles but remained optimistic about his team’s play. “We need to find a way to get to two, three or four [goals]. We’ve just been having trouble the last three weekends,” Johnson said. “We just have to bear down a

little stronger, and focus more a little and try to get pucks in the net, but you know we had a couple great scoring opportunities. Good things are there, eventually it’s gonna go in.” In the first period, Wisconsin controlled the flow of the game, mustering up eight shots and holding the Knights to just five. Clarkson freshman goalie Shea Tiley made several quality pad saves on tough shots from the wings. Nine minutes into the second period, Wisconsin turned the puck over in the defensive zone, where it was scooped up by junior forward Cayley Mercer. Mercer beat Wisconsin sophomore goalie AnnRenée Desbiens with a backhand to take a 1-0 lead. Just three minutes after, Wisconsin answered with a power play goal. After nearly two full minutes of excellent puck movement and ample scoring chances, redshirt senior Brittany Ammerman took a shot from the left wing. The rebound bounced in front of the net, where senior

Karley Sylvester hammered home the equalizer. The Badgers also won the special teams battle, putting up 12 shots on four power plays and holding Clarkson to just two total shots on four power plays. Wisconsin’s stifling defense when shorthanded kept them in the game. The third period saw more great scoring opportunities for the Badgers, including hitting the post twice. Despite the offensive flurry, the game headed to overtime locked at 1-1. Wisconsin took three shots, including a Sylvester shot from point-blank range that was turned away by Tiley. Clarkson managed just one shot, which came when they went on the power play with 1:11 left in the game. Although it ended in a tie, the Badgers played a solid game, controlling the puck, dominating on special teams and generating scoring chances. Sylvester,
