UW students request to divest from fossil fuels Story by Martha Morganstein

MORGAN WINSTON/THE DAILY CARDINAL

The UW Foundation, pictured above, is one of several university foundations systemwide that are under scrutiny from the UW System Student Representatives for investing in fossil fuels.

When Robby Abrahamian stepped onto the UW-Stevens Point campus as a freshman in 2013 be immediately began passing petitions, dropping banners, and asking the student government to take an initiative in divesting from fossil fuels. At that time the movement was only a few years old, but interest in clean energy had already spread to college campuses and other institutions across the country.

Divesting from financial investments in coal, oil and gas companies has grown rapidly from Abrahamian’s freshman year.

According to a report assembled by UW System Student Representatives, as of December 2016, 641 institutions across the nation have made a commitment to divest from fossil fuel companies, equaling an approximate value of $3.4 trillion.

“Our generation wants change ... so we’re organizing together to address this big issue” Robby Abrahamian senator UW-Stevens Point student government association

Abrahamian, now a senator in UW-Stevens Point’s student government association, said he wants the

UW System to be at the forefront of the campaign.

“Our universities are supposed to be innovators and leading the way,” he said. “We should support environmentally sustainable and ethical practices because that’s what universities have always been about.”

In the spring of 2016, Abrahamian introduced the motion to the UW System Student Representatives calling for their support in total financial divestment from fossil fuel companies.

The UW System Student Representatives passed Abrahamian’s legislation at a meeting last December. The resolution, sent to all UW foundations and chancellors, demonstrated student backing in complete divestment from the

ASM to reexamine Student Legal Services proposal, plan next steps

By Nina Bertelsen THE DAILY CARDINAL

Something as simple as signing a lease can seem terrifying to freshmean who haves only been on campus for a few months.

As young adults, students have little to no experience with legal matters and do not always have the resources to seek help.

This fall, former Associated Students of Madison representative Zach Provato brought a proposal to the members of Student Services Finance Committee to add a $15,000 line item to the 2017-’18 segregated fees budget and create a Student Legal Services.

The initial proposal was based on programs run by other Big Ten schools, namely the University of Minnesota, and other UW schools. According to SSFC member Zaakir Abdul-wahid, the initial amount was intended to hire someone who could craft the framework for an office.

He said that SSFC amended the budget proposal to $50,000 because the body understood other schools had a budget of more than $1 million and wanted to give the project a full semester for a trial run.

However, when the budget went before ASM’s Student Council for final approval, representatives voted to remove

the addition.

“Our peers should not be taxed for an idea” said Chair Carmen Goséy, who originally raised concerns.

Goséy said that she felt the proposal was thrown together without a plan of action. She also noted concerns about the plan’s use of arbitrary numbers without going through a mandatory bidding process.

Over winter break, Goséy met with Nancy Lynch of the Office of Legal Affairs to investigate what the services could and couldn’t be used for. Lynch prepared a summary that stated according to university policy, the service could not be used to represent students against the university or system and its agents, other students, copyright, immigration matters and more.

“It seems super bizarre to me that for the past two years I can’t find anyone to give me legal counsel.”

Brooke Evans representative Associated Students of Madison

Additionally representatives realized that in order to hire a lawyer, they would need governor’s

approval and would need to present officials bids for other lawyers.

“It was kinda swept in the end of the season for us,” said Abdulwahid. “It took reflecting and realizing Provato wasn’t gonna be there and having winter break for us to realize that some of the requirements to actual get the legal services into place.”

After Rep. Provato left to study in Italy, Rep. Brooke Evans and SSFC Vice Chair David Morel became the program’s champions.

Morel has been in contact with other UW legal services. While UW-Oshkosh said their service can be used for immigration issues, it remains unclear if UW-Madison has placed this limitation simply at the discretion of administration. Additionally, multiple representatives expressed concern if the service would be approved by the governor.

Evans is currently working to assemble a task force. She said the idea of a legal services has been brought up in ASM for over seven years, but currently they have very little information about implementation requirements and limitations, and what students needs actually are.

“For some reason, it seems super bizarre to me that for the past two years I can’t find anyone to give me legal counsel,” Evans said.

ASM leaders denounced Chancellor Blank’s response to the revelation that Daniel Dropik set fire to two black churches.

ASM representatives blast chancellor’s response to creator of ‘alt-right’ group

By Noah Habenstreit and Jake Skubish THE DAILY CARDINAL

Student government representatives released a statement Thursday night attacking Chancellor Rebecca Blank’s response to the revelation that an “alt-right” campus leader committed two acts of racially motivated arson in 2005.

Daniel Dropik, a 33-year-old student and the founder of the Madison American Freedom Party, served prison time for setting two predominantly black churches on fire. Dropik originally caused a stir on campus

Tuesday when he passed out flyers urging students to “fight anti-white racism on campus.”

After Dropik’s criminal history came to light, Blank released a statement denouncing his crimes and called the American Freedom Party a “recognized hate group.”

“I am appalled by attacks on churches and by organizations that express hatred of people of color, Jews, Muslims or any other identity,” Blank said. “I’ve been heartened to see many students state their strong disagreement with the views of [the American Freedom Party].”

Dear Ms. Scientist, How do solar panels work?

Two rhesus monkeys from the 2009 primate study was set up so one monkey was served a restricted diet and the other could eat as much as it liked. The 27-year-old and 29-year-old monkeys have each died of natural causes since the conclusion of the study.

UW primate research links caloric intake and aging

By Henry Resnikoff the daily cardinal

The use of non-human primates in research has fueled some of the most pivotal scientific discoveries to date and saved countless lives. Rhesus macaques have been instrumental in the development of vaccines, the discovery of HIV/ AIDS treatments, the characterization of blood groups, and a myriad of other medical and scientific breakthroughs.

In the 1980s, both the National Institute of Aging and the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center began studies meant to probe the biological mystery of aging. As rhesus macaques share similar biology and physiological signs of aging with humans, they were chosen as research subjects by both groups.

“Data from both study locations suggest that the [calorie restriction] paradigm is effective in delaying the effects of aging in nonhuman primates.”

Ricki Colman senior scientist Wisconsin Prinate Research Center

In 2009, the UW-Madison group published their results and concluded that calorie restriction slows the ageing process and staves off illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, and even cancer. Further, they found that calorie restriction

increases overall survivability.

However, a parallel study conducted by the NIA found something different. In fact, they found very little measurable benefit to calorie restriction as it pertains to aging. Conflicting results in science can be awkward at best, as research teams compete for funding from similar sources. In some cases, conflicting results can even imply falsified data.

However, in a remarkable display of collaborative spirit, the scientists behind each study cross analyzed the data in an attempt to explain the apparent dissonance. As a result of their cooperation, humanity is a little closer to understanding the biology of aging.

In their report, published recently in Nature Communications, the scientists remark that one major difference between the studies was the allotment of the food in the calorie rich groups and the onset of calorie restriction. Notably, the WNPRC study only initiated calorie restriction after monkeys had attained adult stature.

Further, marked genetic differences existed in the monkeys between the two studies, as well as large differences between diets. Interestingly, the NIA study, which fed their monkeys a lower fat, protein and fiber rich diet (compared to the WNPRC diet), found less of an impact of calorie restriction on aging.

“Data from both study locations suggest that the [calorie restriction] paradigm is effective in delaying the effects of aging

in nonhuman primates but that the age of onset is an important factor in determining the extent to which beneficial effects of [calorie restriction] might be induced,” Ricki Colman, a senior scientist of the WNPRC, commented on the data from the collaborative effort.

“Unfortunately I don’t think [collaborative science] actually happens that often and not to the extent that we collaborate with NIA,” Colman added.

While it is a rare event, this instance of teamwork not only shed light on a complex scientific phenomenon but also salvaged a large sum of money.

Long term primate research is an expensive endeavor, and by working together, the NIA and WNPRC groups made sure they got the most out of the data they worked so hard to obtain.

“Unfortunately I don’t think [collaboritive science] actually happens that often and not to the extent that we collaborate with NIA.” Ricki Colman senior scientist Wisconsin Prinate Research Center

When asked what mechanisms were behind the effect of calorie restriction on aging, Colman explained that she believes there is more to learn.

“There are likely multiple mechanisms at work and ... they will include alterations in energy metabolism and systemic inflammation,” Colman said.

Solar panels are made of many small photovoltaic cells, which are battery cells that convert sunlight to electricity. A photovoltaic cell is usually made of a silicon “sandwich.” Electricity is made up of the flow of electrons, which are tiny negatively charged particles. To make an electric field around the photovoltaic cells, solar panel manufacturers move around electrons so that a positive charge is on one layer of the silicon sandwich, and a negative charge is on the other. Then, when sunlight strikes the cells, the energy of the light knocks free some of the electrons that are part of the electric field. The electrons that are knocked free can then be collected with metal and conducted through wires, creating a flow of electrons that becomes the electricity that we can use.

Dear Ms. Scientist, What happens when I’m “seeing stars” after I sneeze?

Erin A. Sometimes after a loud sneeze you might see small stars or pinpoints of light around your field of vision. These stars are often caused by our optic nerve, the nerve in our eye that transmits light to our brain. The eyeball has a thick gel that keeps it round. Sometimes, this gel can rub again the retina and stimulate the part of our brain that creates images. When the brain gets a message from the retina, it interprets it as light. Pressure and force can often shoot a sneeze out at close to 100 miles per hour. This is enough to disrupt the gel, stimulate the retina and create the phenomenon we know as “seeing stars.”

Issa Rae kicks off Black History Month celebration

By Cameron Lane-Flehinger THE DAILY CARDINAL

In the midst of a political and social climate described as “depressing, frightening and frustrating,” UW-Madison’s Black History Month has focused on bringing happiness back into the community.

“I hope that the month gets people ready to do this again and help out wherever they can.”

Kynala Phillips co-chair Black History Month Student Planning Committee

The month’s events kicked off Sunday night with a questionand-answer session with Issa Rae, creator of the web series “Awkward Black Girl” and star of HBO’s “Insecure.” Rae told the audience about the inspirations for her shows and touched on topics ranging from her favorite television shows to her experience

attending the Golden Globes.

“I have such a strong relationship with so many black women in my life … and the only depiction of black people’s friendships was the reality shows,” Rae said.

“People are so confident they can tell our stories for us … and as long as we’re auteurs and creators of our own content that’s the necessary element that’s been missing for all these years.”

Co-chair of the Black History Month Student Planning Committee Alexis Coleman said Sunday’s event exemplified the theme of this year’s Black History Month—Black Joy—as well as a renewed focus on interactivity.

The month’s events include a yoga session featuring trap music, several arts and craft sessions and a family reunion for black UW-Madison students.

“We wanted to focus on not only the importance of emphasizing self-care, but also leaving people with the tools and the techniques to practice self-care,” Coleman said. “In the past we’ve had maybe one or two interactive

Both Coleman and co-chair Kynala Phillips acknowledged that while Black History Month

is an important recognition of black culture, the real value lies in extending the awareness and activism to the rest of the year.

Student’s clothing line aims to inspire ‘resistance,’ discomfort

By Sammy Gibbons THE DAILY CARDINAL

Shirts emblazoned with the phrase “All white people are racist” raised questions last semester. This is what Eneale Pickett wanted with his clothing line, and he is starting conversations again with a new line of apparel.

In the spring of his freshman year, when a friend of his was told people of color do not belong at UW-Madison, Pickett, now a sophomore, developed the first garments for his line, Insert Apparel.

Along with “All white people are racist,” the shirts and sweatshirts wore phrases like “Black Girl Magic” and “If I encounter another cop with a God complex, I’m going to have to show the world that they are human.”

Pickett said the phrases in this line were meant to counteract stereotypes that people would assign to students of color. His new line, though, is an evolution of the original clothing that is aimed at facilitating discussions about the intersectionalities of race, class, gender and more.

With help from designer Jenaé Hu, Pickett created a line of shirts called “Resistance: Gold Edition.” The new apparel feature

“It’s a big deal that all of the UW campuses got together and passed legislation,” Abrahamian said. “It shows how the student body collectively really supports this.”

The UW System foundations are the main source for handling gifts and donations, as well as responsible for the investments of all the UW campuses’ endowments.

Vince Sweeney, the Vice President for Communications at the Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association, said that the foundations’ primary roles are to ensure financial support for the university,

phrases outlined in gold that say “Stay Woke or Get Killed in Your Sleep,” “Black Boy Brilliance” and “Fuck White Supremacy.”

“The reason why I printed the shirts in gold is because gold represents the black joy of fight-

ing resistance,” Pickett said. “A lot of people think you’re supposed to be a fighter all the time, and that’s when you wear yourself out and don’t really take care of yourself. With this line I’m taking care of myself and

promoting self-care through the words and visuals on the shirts.”

Following the release of the first clothing items, Pickett received negative comments and death threats. He said the messages drained him because he did not know to take care of his mental health and balance his life between his line and school. He said he is taking care of himself mentally with these new clothes.

Pickett said he also heard positive messages from individuals who noticed his clothing. Many people told him they began to educate themselves about race and recognize the privilege they may have—he wants people to feel uncomfortable.

“My number one goal is to have people critically think about these topics like they never did before,” Pickett said. “There are conversations being had about this, and people are now thinking about this, like connecting all the dots and understanding why these things were created … and how people are fighting those things.”

The shirts will be released on his Insert Apparel website sometime between Feb. 1 and Feb. 4; his way of recognizing Black History Month.

but can look into alternative investment opportunities.

“Our investment policies remain driven by the obligation to maximize the impact of gifts made in support of UW-Madison,” Sweeney said. “In the meantime, we will continue to engage in conversations with our peers and monitor any new developments in this area,” Abrahamian said that the point of the resolution is to put pressure on foundations to adapt to the changing energy market without losing any money.

“We don’t want them to lose the ability to maximize profit,” he said. “But we do want them to make divestment a priority and speed up the overall process.”

to just get brushed under the rug.

We want to talk about options,” Abrahamian said.

According to Abrahamian, this resolution is only one of the many “bold statements” that UW students are making in order to be more environmentally conscious.

He mentioned UW-Milwaukee leading the initiative to create a power purchase agreement for the UW system which would bring renewable energy at a more affordable rate.

“Our generation wants change,” Abrahamian said. “As students we don’t always have many outlets to act on climate change, so we’re organizing together to address this big issue.”

MORGAN WINSTON/CARDINAL FILE PHOTO

At the December Student Representative meeting, members acknowledged the potential financial and political implications from divestment mentioned in a 2013 report done by a UW-Madison committee on fossil fuel use and climate change.

“Regardless of these concerns, we’re most concerned about the environment,” Chair of UW Student Representatives Graham Piece said.

While waiting for a response from foundations, student representatives will discuss adding a temporary director position. According to Abrahamian, the representative would be responsible for “keeping all of the UW foundations accountable.”

“We don’t want this resolution

Due to the outcry over this situation, however, Blank said she will discuss a review of this policy with the Board of Regents.

Associated Students of Madison representatives Carmen Goséy, Katrina Morrison and Brooke Evans took issue with Blank’s statement, saying it showed the administration’s “lack of verbal and systematic support for students of color or minority identities.”

The students rebuked Blank’s suggestion that criminal records may be considered in UW System admissions, a move they argued would harm students of color and would not alleviate racism.

“The practice of considering criminal history in admissions [is] unnecessary and discriminatory,” Evans said in the statement. “I’m not concerned about how he got here—I know how easy it is for majority students to get here. What I’m concerned about is why he’s still a student here?”

Friday afternoon, Blank sent a letter to UW System President Ray Cross addressing the drawbacks of considering criminal history in admissions.

“I am committed to expanding access to underrepresented students,” Blank wrote. “I do not believe a felony conviction should be an automatic bar to admission.”

Still, Blank said there are “risks to remaining entirely ignorant of an applicant’s felony record.”

“I believe it is appropriate now to engage in a broad discussion with stakeholders about how we balance campus safety ... with the rights of students who have committed violent crimes,” she said.

Blank concluded the letter by saying she is “looking forward” to discussing the matter further.

Bear’s Den roars with emotion at High Noon Saloon

By Katie Scheidt THE DAILY CARDINAL

Maybe I’m just a sucker for a quiet banjo and a British accent, but up on the balcony section of High Noon Saloon, above a canopy of stringed lights on a Thursday night, London-based folk band Bear’s Den reminded me just how possible it is to smile and shed a tear at the same time. I have been a fan of Bear’s Den for quite some time; I saw them open for Mumford & Sons at the Marcus Amphitheater in 2014. I remember my mom quietly tapping along to their set and then turning to me at the end to say, “That was just so beautiful.” That’s the thing about Bear’s Den—their gentle energy is powerful enough to captivate an audience of any size, be it a huge amphitheater or a tiny Madison bar, and that was proved to me yet again Thursday.

Bear’s Den opened their set with “Red Earth & The Pouring Rain,” the opening track off their new album of the same title. The song kicked off the show with a forceful tone, breaking away from the traditional acoustic sound that characterized their first album, Islands. After “Emeralds,” another standout single from Red Earth

& The Pouring Rain, the electric instrumentals were traded for a banjo and an acoustic guitar, transitioning into “Elysium,” a powerful, existential track about brotherhood and afterlife. Strumming along on his guitar, lead singer Andrew Davie sings, “Free from our shackles, our chains, our mouths, our brains / we will walk careless / straight into the light.”

Queue my friend turning to me to say, not unlike my mom in 2014, “This is just so beautiful.”

After a few more songs from both LPs, the band asked for the audience to quiet for an acoustic, microphone-less rendition of “Don’t Let the Sun Steal You Away” off their EP Without/ Within. I always love when bands do this, especially in bar venues when the audience is more likely to be chatty. I love to see an otherwise noisy venue slowly quiet out of some form of captivation or respect for the people on stage.

And where some bands struggle for a while to get complete silence, Bear’s Den hushed High Noon Saloon within 15 seconds. What this rendition proved to me was that Bear’s Den absolutely exudes talent. Without an instrument,

amplifier, microphone or even a beat to accompany them, the band conveyed emotion and beauty in just as powerful a way.

The show finished with an obvious crowd favorite as well as my personal favorite track, “Above the Clouds of Pompeii.”

A deeply emotional and touching song about the death of a boy’s mother, the song filled the room with a somber yet upbeat beauty.

Soon, it seemed as if the entire audience was singing along to the song’s hook, “Don’t cry / hold your head up high / she would want you to / she would want you to.” Despite the melancholy tone of the song, the lead singer broke out into a smile at the end of the track, reminding me once again why the band’s music has resonated with me for so long. Each song, whether it be the recorded or live version, is an example of what it means to turn heartache, pain and emotion into a beautiful art. The way vocals and instrumentals are paired together paints nostalgia, sorrow and hope all in one. I couldn’t have asked for a better live show, just as I couldn’t have asked for a better soundtrack for the past two years.

Post Animal livens up new venue at Memorial Union

By Shaye Graves THE DAILY CARDINAL

The pull of Netflix star Joe Keery, who plays Steve Harrington in the hit show “Stranger Things,” led many curious students to Memorial Union’s Der Rathskeller to see Keery’s band, Post Animal, perform Saturday night.

The Chicago-based band is a six-piece unit of talented musicians, but typically the band’s media coverage, and even audience turnout, are almost comically focused on Keery’s involvement with “Stranger Things.”

Despite this attention, not all six boys were present Saturday—take a guess which one was missing.

Keery’s absence wasn’t detrimental, though initially it was disappointing. Luckily, the band’s talent backs their hype and no one could have said the night didn’t rock.

This was my first time seeing a concert in the newly renovated Der Rathskeller in Memorial Union and, I have to say, the venue doesn’t do performers any favors.

The horizontally long room packed with tables, cushy armchairs and even a fireplace is a better hangout/study lounge than it is a concert venue. The stage itself stands too low to accommodate any crowd members not standing directly in front of it. I’ve never consciously wondered if our beloved, dowdy Der Rathskeller could go hand-

in-hand with prismatic, heavy psych pop music, but the answer is remarkably yes when Post Animal is in the room.

It’s got to be a challenge for performers to command the stage in an environment set up more for socializing than taking in performance art. Post Animal easily could have been reduced to background music, but their sound and energy resonated. They kept great pace and even their slower songs came across as jams. It was a ride to hear their modern twists on classic influences—they take cues from Black Sabbath, America, Fleetwood Mac and Joni Mitchell, among others.

Post Animal’s personality and substance are perhaps best represented by the crowd favorite song, “When I Get Home.” This tune’s laidback Mac Demarco vibes and kaleidoscopic, Tame Impala guitar/effects took me on a fuzzy trip.

“Lonely Jones” was another standout, with Beatles-esque familiarity and a boppin’ rhythm that kept me on my toes.

The only thing missing (aside from Keery) was vocal texture. For a band whose members can all sing, oddly enough there weren’t quite enough harmonies or backing vocals. Regardless, Post Animal put on a top-notch show. “Stranger Things” might have brought me there, but the music made me stay.

Twenty One Pilots expected to thrill Madison audience on Tuesday

By Allison Garcia THE DAILY CARDINAL

At a 2015 concert in the Milwaukee Rave, the duo from Twenty One Pilots gave each other fresh tattoos on the stage.

This band is known for making their audience feel special, and this week they’re bringing their live energy to Madison.

The alternative-rock band hails from Columbus, Ohio and has seen a tremendous leap in fame in the past eight years since the band was formed. Today, frontman Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun are cycling the radio with “Heathens”—a song they made for the superhero movie “Suicide Squad”— along with other hits like “Ride,” “Stressed Out” and “Car Radio.”

Though the band is typically described as alt-rock, their music includes influences from both

pop and hip-hop as well. This blend of genres has helped the band develop a sound entirely their own, and they have become a staple in conversations about trends in mainstream music.

This unique sound has grabbed the attention of fans and music critics alike. Twenty One Pilots was nominated five times in the 2017 Grammys for “Record of the Year,” “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance,” “Best Rock Performance,” “Best Rock Song” and “Best Song Written For Visual Media.” These nominations were for two songs: “Heathens” and “Stressed Out.” As their popularity has increased, so has the size of the fan base, and now the size of their concerts. In August, the band played in two sold out shows at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Coming back to their

Midwestern roots during their extended world tour, the band will be playing at the Alliant Energy Center Coliseum, which has the capacity to hold more than 10,000 people.

In true Twenty One Pilots style, the show will likely include theatrics and high energy. Known for wearing ski masks and having elaborate light shows, fans can expect a energetic and exciting show this Tuesday night.

The concert will take place in the Alliant Energy Center Tuesday. The doors will open at 5:30 p.m with the show starting at 7 p.m. Tickets are available online, by phone or at the box office for reserved seats or standing tickets. The concert is part of Twenty One Pilots’ Emotional Roadshow World Tour.

Trump’s executive refugee ban ignores vital historical lessons WILL STERN opinion columnist

KATIE SCHEIDT/CARDINAL FILE PHOTO

Sports help bring people of all backgrounds together, a needed common ground in difficult times.

Sports provide escape from political culture LUCAS JOHNSON opinion columnist What, among the media industry, attracts attention most in our society? Action? Love? Conflict?

Resolution? In my experience, people are drawn to anything that moves their emotions. While this is incredibly multifaceted, the conceptual theme is more or less the same. Stories gain public attention when they are labeled as moving, exciting, powerful, important, etc.

What’s more, when stories are honest, i.e. not sensationalized, this is seen as the gold standard for garnering attention, because it does so truthfully and solely through its content. Emotions moved by real events stick with me long after I’ve experienced them. When I watch a critically acclaimed film, I may feel extremes of emotion during and for a short time after, but there’s something special about feeling those highs in response to genuine events rather than a dramatized narrative. This category of storytelling is, I’ll admit, rarer than fiction, but by no means nonexistent. Sports, in my mind, is the perfect manifestation of this form, and, in turn, is a unifying and palpable source of energy to those involved.

Globally, sports bridge cultural gaps like nothing I’ve ever seen.

Sports are unapologetically real.

During any game, those involved are faking none of their passion for their respective sport. The intensity with which devoted athletes strain to achieve a goal is nothing short of extraordinary. The intensity with which devoted fans support their teams and communities is eminently respectable. The intensity with which devoted coaches and trainers work for their team to succeed, too, is admirable. The intensity with

which sports can influence a struggling or thriving community cannot be understated.

The unabashed reality with which sports are conducted is spectacularly simple. Two sides. Two enemies. One goal. That’s a theme that transcends sports, but one that can be addressed and experienced in a controlled environment. It’s an instinctual and almost archaic form of competition, and, by that same token, one that’s survived over millennia. The Mayans pioneered Pitz, a Mesoamerican ballgame that was basically a cross between lacrosse and basketball, the ancient Greeks founded the Olympic games, and First Nations People birthed lacrosse. So why has such a simple concept persevered through the majority of human existence? Simple. Sports are exciting and impactful. They’re an outlet, a goal, an ego-booster, a fandom, and most importantly, a means of unification.

Sports mean so much to those involved. The athletes, coaches, owners and fans; everyone. They bring communities together. In Texas, the high school football championship game draws over twice the crowds as some college football bowl games. In underprivileged communities, sports are seen as a ticket to a better life; an end goal and a means of improvement. Building off of that, communities rally around their prized athlete as she or he grows up. That individual creates a sense of pride in some communities that struggle to find it day in and day out.

Benji Wilson was a high school phenom and nationally ranked basketball player from 1980s gang-divided Chicago. He was nicknamed “Magic Johnson with a jump shot,” which is incredibly high praise, even today. Benji’s games would pack gyms as a teen and, for a few moments, would grant the city a sense of peace and unity while marveling at his talent. The lines to see him compete would stretch down the street.

The city immensely appreciated what Benji provided for them; an escape. Benji had the potential to

be one of the all-time greats, until he was murdered in a senseless shooting. Community members were quoted saying, “In a gangdivided city, his death changed the way we looked at each other.

We started looking at each other like brothers instead of enemies.”

If that’s not athletics as a social justice, I don’t know what is.

Tragically, we live in an incredibly polarized America.

Agreement across party lines is consistently difficult to reach.

Beautifully, sports have the ability to cut through those differences regardless of severity. Say you and a family member have very conflicting views. Reunions can be a challenge, as griping often ensues.

But, differences aside, you’re both diehard Green Bay Packer fans.

That shared passion overrides any differences you’ve had historically and, even for a split second, you share a moment. That’s incredible.

Globally, sports bridge cultural gaps like nothing I’ve ever seen.

Traveling to Nicaragua, I spoke shaky Spanish, and carrying a conversation was difficult. But I played soccer, and that was enough to connect with someone where language came up short. Shared appreciation and passion seem lost in the modern world. Division and conflict have reigned supreme, and if sports can make us smile with one another every so often, I think that’s pretty spectacular.

Sports access our rawest emotions effortlessly because of their implications. Unity, camaraderie, teamwork, tireless effort, rivalry, triumph, ecstasy, defeat, despair, all of these are accessible emotions through the glorious gift that is sports. Anything that can unite entire communities, bridge cultural gaps, become a societal icebreaker among new acquaintances, and move our emotions to tears has to be important. And that’s what sports are above all else: important.

Remember first learning about the Holocaust? Whether you had a parent explain it to you, or a guest speaker at school, it was surreal. It’s rare that something can penetrate the hearts and minds of young kids, to strip away from them their immature nature and make them really think seriously. Wasn’t this how we all reacted to hearing about the Holocaust? Dead seriousness. I don’t remember anybody goofing around or making jokes in school, or myself wanting to go outside and play rather than hear about it. It transcends youth, immaturity and innocence. On a visceral level, as a young kid you realize the magnitude of it. As a result my first question, and I’m sure I wasn’t alone, was why did people let this happen?

I simply could not understand how it could happen.

Sure, there could be one lunatic at the top who ordered the atrocities, but where was everyone else? Not only the people who let it happen locally, within Germany and Europe, but what about the U.S.?

We learn an extremely illusory record of American history as a child: We had to drop the atomic bomb to save lives, the founding fathers were all visionaries and wonderful people, the wars in the Middle East were to protect us from terrorism. We learned about the camps the U.S. liberated in Germany and Poland, how grateful the prisoners were to see the red, white and blue.

We never spoke about one of the great moral failures of our country: The U.S. turned away thousands of Jewish refugees during the Holocaust out of fear that they were Nazi spies.

Sound Familiar?

We said ‘Never forget’, we said ‘Never again’. What are words if they do not prompt actions?

President Donald Trump has issued an executive order that ultimately bans Syrian refugees

Editorial Cartoon

indefinitely and all refugees for 120 days. There is a holocaust going on in Syria. It’s not a ‘terrible situation’, it isn’t just the ‘unstable Middle East’, it is a holocaust. Bashar al-Assad is murdering people. The longer we kid ourselves into thinking it isn’t the U.S.’s problem, the more people will die. Why is it that the one time we can really and truly help thousands of people in the Middle East, we don’t stand up? We have been messing around with our deadly weapons and greedy nation-building for years, and now that we can save lives it is too much of a risk?

To those who honestly believe that we are falling into a terrorist trap, quit it. None of these countries named on Trump’s ban have been the origin of a terrorist attack since 9/11. Countries in which terrorists have come from in recent years, like Saudi Arabia, are not on Trump’s list. Coincidentally, Trump has no known business ties in any of the countries named in the ban, though— predictably—he neglected countries that he does business in. This shouldn’t be political, Trump is clearly conning us through this fear-mongering.

By all means, vet these people humanely, because due diligence is always necessary—but we cannot, once again, be the country that denies the refugees of a holocaust.

In 20 years I really hope that school children will not be asking a similar question to the one we all did when we were younger: Where was the U.S. during the Syrian Holocaust?

Do we just keep the Statue of Liberty standing so as not to insult the French, or do we truly believe in it?

How social media is ruining sex SYDNEY THOMAS sex columnist

I’m new to The Daily Cardinal and when I was brainstorming topics for my new column, Sex with Syd, I kept circling back to a topic that has been bothering me a lot recently. I have been watching so many relationships with amazing potential become completely ruined because of our generation’s social media use. People are uninterested while on dates, scrolling through their feeds instead of communicating, taking Snapchats instead of truly engaging. I’ve seen relationships falling apart, and have witnessed real fights about something as trivial as one of the people liking images on Instagram that the other person has deemed inappropriate or off limits.

Recently, I declared to a friend that I was going to be swearing off social media, for the time being, for the sake of a cleanse. I have begun to realize how much of my time was consumed with social media and how it is impacting my relationships.

Sadly, I only lasted around two days without using my accounts (yeah, it’s pathetic I am fully aware), yet I learned a lot through those days.

Personally, my own use would not even be considered “harmful.” I use my Instagram to fill up spaces in my days, my Facebook to (silently peep) catch up with old friends and my Twitter just for quick news.

While I didn’t last long on my own cleanse, I started analyzing the way the people around me use their phones in particular. Through my creeping (research experiment, if you will) I

noticed one particular theme: we are spoiled by the fact that everyone we know, know of or want to know is accessible through the glass screens we keep in our pockets, and it is ruining the intimacy and depth we could have with partners.

We have this collaboration of our hormones and technology that leads to a unique hookup-based community.

Our generation is obsessed with instant gratification, and we have the blessing and curse of having the entire world at our fingertips. We have this collaboration of our hormones and technology that leads to a unique hookup-based community, especially on campuses like ours.

Unlike our ancestors who only had the memory of a lover to hold on to when separated by time and space, we simply open our smart phones and scroll past hundreds of beautifully edited humans, searching for the one that catches our eye. This immediacy burdens everyone with the feeling of, “Why are we wasting our time with one partner, sharing our raw emotion and the worst of us, when we can portray ourselves in specifically edited ways and keep moving forward on to the ‘next best thing?’”

We have started to stray away from deep intimate relationships because we can see everything immediately around us, as well as far away from us. We can follow exotic supermodels who live across the country at the same time we are following our crush from our chemistry lecture.

These follows lead to likes, likes can lead to DMs, in person meet ups,

hookups, etc. The amount of likes you receive on a picture can dictate the amount of interested suitors you have online and broaden or narrow the scope of how many choices you have (I even heard someone say the amount of likes is equal to how provocative a person can be). At most, it is typical to spend a few weekends with one person until we find the next match on Tinder or Bumble. Until our Instagram’s “popular” page presents us with a new pretty, heavily edited face to follow and message. This competitive environment also leads us to present ourselves under the false pretense of who we really are and what we are actually looking for when meeting people.

Not that there is anything wrong with promoting a hookup culture versus long-term relationships, I firmly believe it can be empowering and fun to play the field and constantly be open to meeting new people. There is a problem, however, with feeling like the deep relationship is not an option that one can toy with anymore.

Our generation is obsessed with instant gratification, and we have the blessing and curse of having the entire world at our fingertips.

While these factors ruin the depth of relationships, they surprisingly are also ruining our sexual encounters.

The best sex we can have with our partners incorporates trust, communication and willingness to try new things. These are factors that come only with time and getting to know a person. While some people are willing to pull out Cosmo’s “Sexy Moves He’ll

LOOOOOVE” on date number one (more power to them), a lot of us (especially people with vaginas) have pretty mediocre sex until we establish a trusting relationship with our partners.

I have begun to realize how much of my time was consumed with social media and how it is impacting my relationships.

When you trust your partners, you feel more comfortable telling them exactly what you like and dislike. Building relationships also leads to better sex for all people involved (think of your partners as really cool teachers) because you get to explore new parts of bodies and try more adventurous positions and activities. Communicating openly about sex can be so difficult because we tend to treat it like a taboo topic, however those are the walls that shed when you reach a certain comfort level with that other person.

Without spending the time to get to know someone, we end up shuttling from person to person without ever achieving our own orgasms or fulfilling whatever our ideals of good sex are. Or, it leads to spending time behind closed doors achieving that orgasm on our own and pretending we are getting 100 percent of our sexual fulfillment from the mediocre partners we had last weekend.

Simply stated: Social media is killing good sex. My advice? Turn off your phone, engage with those around you and start having the sex you deserve.

Badgers stumble in fourth quarter, drop eighth-straight game

By Cal Larsen The Daily Cardinal

Cameron Hughes netted a game-winner in overtime on one of the biggest stages in sports.

New York dream: Hughes and Happ shine under bright lights of Madison Square Garden

By Bobby Ehrlich The Daily Cardinal

NEW YORK—In a span of just over seven hours, two Badger athletes turned dreams into memories in the city that never sleeps.

After scoring 32 points to nearly single-handedly give the Badgers an overtime victory over Rutgers, Ethan Happ walked toward the locker room tunnel. The Wisconsin faithful roared for him to come back. Happ excitedly sprinted back onto the Madison Square Garden floor to a roaring ovation from the fans clad in Badger red.

Then, following a quick transition from hardwood to ice and a dramatic late comeback by Ohio State, Cameron Hughes pushed a game-winning overtime goal into the net. Elated, he skated to where Bucky Badger stood behind the MSG glass and jumped into the boards for a full body-slam with the furry Wisconsin mascot.

For Happ, his performance under the bright lights of the “World’s Most Famous Arena” felt a lot like just another basketball game. But the standing ovation he received when the final curtain dropped was something he won’t soon forget.

“At the end there, when you look around and you’re at MSG and you have so many great Badger fans that came all the way out or are in New York City that came to watch you, it’s really amazing how well we travel and how well the alumni support us,” Happ said. “So that was something special and I just savored the moment. It was kind of like a curtain call and whenever you can get a curtain call in MSG, I’m not gonna pass it up.”

In many ways, it was just another road trip for the basketball team.

They flew out of Madison Friday, played in the early afternoon Saturday and left shortly after the game. After all, the Badgers played in the Garden last year in an early-season tournament, and the

seniors on the team have played in Final Fours in AT&T Stadium and Lucas Oil Stadium.

But it was a special trip for the hockey team, which was capped off by Hughes’ golden goal, who said that it ranks “pretty high” on his list of things he’s accomplished in his career.

“Overtime, parents were here, a family friend [was here]. I know my family is watching back home too, so it was pretty cool. Get a sweep, too. My first time in New York. The list goes on and on,” Hughes said.

Hours after defeating the Buckeyes Thursday night in Columbus, Ohio, the Badgers traveled to the Big Apple, with all of Friday to spend in the city. Senior defensemen Corbin McGuire, who grew up in Ridgefield, Conn., some 60 miles from New York City, acted as the unofficial tour guide for Wisconsin’s day.

But the highlight of his trip wasn’t showing his boys Times Square or the Empire State Building. It was coming out on top in a building where his childhood heroes took the ice. “[McGuire] gave us a good speech in the [locker] room after.

He was pretty fired up,” Hughes said. “It’s emotional for him. It’s his hometown. He was really proud of us.”

And it wasn’t just a special day for McGuire, who played for the Junior Rangers growing up and was coached by Rangers’ legend Mark Messier. Sophomore goalie Matt Jurusik played a stellar game between the pipes, denying opportunity after opportunity from Ohio State. It’s hard to tell from his steady play, but Jurusik was anxious at the beginning of the game.

“The first couple minutes of the first period you have a little nerves running through; you watch this arena on TV every night,” Jurusik said. “The great names that have played, especially for my side, having [Henrik]

Lundqvist play here night-in and night-out. It’s a pretty surreal moment, stepping out there for the anthem.”

It was also a return for head coach Tony Granato, who came into the NHL with the New York Rangers in 1988, playing two seasons there. Granato still holds the Rangers’ record for most goals scored by a rookie, with 36.

“This building meant a lot to me. When you get your first crack in the NHL with an Original Six team, you get to play in New York in front of these fans, this community and this building, I was pretty lucky,” Granato said. “To come back here a long time after I was here, it’s special every time I come back.”

And even though he played a multitude of big games in the Garden, he recognized the weight of this moment for his players.

“They’ve watched a ton of games here. They know all the superstars that have come through this arena and all the big events that have happened here,” Granato said. “To walk into it and actually participate in a game— meaningful game—it was a special moment for them and I’m just happy to be here with them and be part of it, too.”

It was truly a “Super” Saturday for the Badgers. Both teams pulled out thrilling overtime wins. Happ had a Lebron James-like outing.

The hockey team battled adversity to clinch a victory and its thirdstraight win over a Top 10 team.

Ten miles away from Madison Square Garden, the Yankees play baseball in the Bronx. When games finish, the fans stand and sing Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York.”

But Saturday, fans were singing a different tune. The sea of red that had made the trek to the city that never sleeps stood and proudly belted “Varsity” along with the UW Band after two bold Badger wins.

Despite piecing together a momentum-shifting third quarter and taking a lead, the Badgers (0-8 Big Ten, 5-16 overall) fell to Indiana (5-3, 15-6) Sunday afternoon by a score of 78-54.

A strong first quarter from Indiana made it look as though the Hoosiers would run away with the game from the very start. Wisconsin was not ready to give in after just 10 minutes, though.

The Badgers managed to outscore Indiana 19-15 in the second quarter and tie the game up 39-39 with 7:24 left in the third quarter.

But despite UW’s strong effort in the first three stanzas, the final quarter told a different story. Indiana outscored the Badgers 21-3 as Wisconsin went on a scoring drought that lasted 6:43.

The Hoosiers’ star point guard junior Tyra Buss, who entered Sunday’s contest averaging 19.2 points per game, started hot, scoring eight points in the first quarter, but was then held scoreless in the second and a majority of the third.

Although the offense may have not been present for Buss, she managed to cause all sorts of problems for the UW guards.

“She got up and defended Kendra [Van Leeuwen] and we weren’t able to get in our offense in the fourth quarter,” Wisconsin head coach Jonathan Tsipis said. “She understands when they need to run offense, when they can go in transition; she’s the catalyst for them.”

The Badgers ended the game with 17 turnovers, 10

more than Indiana, which led to 20 points on the other end for the Hoosiers.

Buss led the way for IU with 19 points and three assists, while senior guard Alexis Gassion contributed 16 points and six rebounds.

By the end of the second quarter, eight Badgers found their way into the scoring column and were not letting Indiana build a lead larger than 10 points. Once the third quarter got underway, Wisconsin made its run.

Redshirt senior center Kendall Shaw started the Badgers off with an inside post move, followed by a 3-pointer from freshman guard Roichelle Marble that tied the game at 39.

Freshman guard Kendra Van Leeuwen gave Wisconsin its first lead since a 2-0 start with a fancy spin move and finish in the paint.

The Badgers ended the third down six points after Buss split multiple defenders and finished in the lane at the buzzer.

But the fourth quarter was all Indiana. UW’s shots weren’t falling and the Hoosiers kept piling on the offensive rebounds and second chance points.

“For 29 minutes I thought we battled today,” Tsipis said. “We put ourselves in a good position, understanding and watching.”

Leading the offense for Wisconsin was junior guard Cayla McMorris, who finished with 13 points, four rebounds and two assists. Freshmen Courtney Fredrickson and Suzanne Gilreath each finished with nine points.

The Badgers will be back in action Wednesday in Evanston, Ill., at 7 p.m. to take on Northwestern.

Cayla McMorris led the Badgers 13 points, but they still dropped their eighth-straight Big Ten game on Sunday.
