Chemistry Building explosion injures one By Ben Siegel The Daily Cardinal

A small explosion in a Chemistry Building laboratory Monday morning injured one UW staff member when a distillation apparatus shattered, sending out shrapnel and starting a fire. UW-Police responded to a 911 call following the explosion around 9:30 a.m., which occurred in a sixth floor laboratory where the postdoctoral researcher was working. The researcher, who wishes to remain anonymous, was adjacent to the site of the explosion, and while he was hit with some of scattered shrapnel, adherence to safety procedures prevented any

serious damage. “Luckily, my lab mates did exactly like we’re trained to do: one student immediately called for rescue services to take care of me, while another came in, put out the fire, and helped me stop the bleeding,” he said in an e-mail. “Because I was wearing proper eye protection and nonflammable clothing, I managed to come through the incident without any serious injuries beyond a bunch of cuts and stitches.” The scientist was initially taken to a local hospital for treatment, and was released later on Monday. While the lab itself was closed

Privacy concerns keep recall petitions off Internet Tyler Nickerson The Daily Cardinal

Election officials said Monday they would not put recall petitions for Gov. Scott Walker containing the signatures and addresses of signees online amid privacy concerns. In an e-mail sent late Monday afternoon, the Government Accountability Board said it is “evaluating the privacy concerns of individuals who have contacted us about posting the petitions online.” The board had no further comment. The signatures and addresses from petitions to recall four state senators are already publicly available online. The GAB is still working on scanning recall petitions for Lt. Gov.

Rebecca Kleefisch so they can be made public. The board does have guidelines in place to protect voters who do not wish to have their names or addresses made available when presenting proof of identification at polling places. The American Civil Liberty Union has expressed concerns about publicizing the names of those who signed petitions in a searchable database, arguing such information could lead to intimidation and backlash. The GAB decided to not make the databases searchable, but the names and addresses of signees would remain publicly available. According to the GAB web-

The Madison Landmarks Commission approved restoration plans for the exterior of the Castle & Doyle Building at 125 State St., which will not be demolished.

City officials approve State Street proposal By Meghan Chua The Daily Cardinal

City officials approved a State Street redevelopment proposal Monday while delaying a decision on two buildings slated for demolition. Jerome Frautschi and Pleasant Rowland’s second proposal for the $17 million reconstruction plan affects six buildings on the 100 block of State Street. The Landmarks Commission approved the exterior alterations to the Castle & Doyle Building at 125 State St., but voted the addition to the Buell building at 121-123 State St. is too intrusive, noting the historic value of the building. While the Vallender building at 127-129 State St. was origi-

nally planned to be demolished, the commission did not decide on demolition and advised the Planning Commission the building has social, architectural and historical value. If demolished, the design of the building must be historically appropriate and not too contemporary, according to city officials. The proposal also includes plans for a 5,730 square feet of above-ground building space to be transformed into a garden at the corner of Mifflin Street and Fairchild Street. While the outdoor garden is considered private property, the public will have access to the space. The Madison Trust for Historic Preservation presented an alternate plan last week, which promotes a rehabilita-

tive approach to reconstruction as opposed to the Block 100 Foundation’s original proposal, which included demolition plans. Jason Tish, Madison Trust executive director, is concerned with preserving the character of the area. “State Street is to Madison what the French Quarter is to New Orleans,” Tish said. “The 100 block in particular exhibits that character better than any other block on the street.” Although Madison Trust is concerned with completely altering historic buildings, Grant Frautschi, leader of Block 100, said none of the properties were considered historical

Student finance committee presents internal budget By David Klein The Daily Cardinal

jared Burris/the daily cardinal

The Student Services Finance Committee introduced its internal budget for the coming year at a meeting Monday.

The Student Services Finance Committee, which decides how much money to allocate to student groups, presented its own proposed budget for the coming fiscal year Monday. In her review of the budget to SSFC members, SSFC Chair Sarah Neibart said although the dollar amount the committee is requesting is yet to be determined, the overall request will decrease from last year’s. Neibart said she is waiting to learn the staff’s final salaries before projecting what the committee’s finalized budget request will be.

As a check on SSFC’s power to allocate money to itself, the budget must also be approved by Student Council once the committee passes it. “There are guards against spending just like with any student group,” Neibart said. “There has to be a reason to spend the money.” SSFC Vice Chair Chase Wilson said it would be virtually impossible for SSFC to request inappropriately large sums of money. “Our salaries are based on a percentage of tuition,” Wilson said. “So [SSFC] couldn’t make those line items go any higher.” Among the budget’s line items is a request for $4,000 to pay for

Accountability Liaisons, a position that assists student groups in carrying out their services and events. Liaisons also ensure student groups are operating as they should be. “If a student group is supposed to be providing ‘Direct Service X,’ liaisons make sure that the money goes toward that,” said Wilson. Also included in the budget request was $3,000 for SSFC training, much of which goes toward an organized retreat for committee members. Members said money could be transferred to other parts of the budget if funding is not exhausted. SSFC will vote on the proposed budget this Thursday.

“…the great state University of Wisconsin should ever encourage that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found.”

City hesitant about student apartments

An independent student newspaper, serving the University of Wisconsin-Madison community since 1892

wednesDAY: partly cloudy

A city committee expressed concern Monday for a new apartment complex potentially being built on the corner of North Brooks and Dayton Street. The Joint Southeast Campus Area Committee, a city planning group with members of both city and university officials, discussed plans for the five-story private student housing project set for North Brooks Street and Dayton Street. John Chadima, the former senior associate athletic director who resigned after allegedly sexually assaulting a student, served on the committee but has since been removed from the roster. Ald. Scott Resnick, District 8, said Chadima’s position is currently vacant and will be filled by an appointment from the university with approval from the mayor’s office. Joe McCormick, the owner of the property for over ten years, said he would like to redevelop the property to avoid an empty building. According to Joe Lee, project architect, the apartment complex is geared toward students with two-, three- and four- bedroom units, bicycle and moped parking, and a modern design. While McCormick and Lee

presented their proposal to Urban Design Commission with little criticism, Joint Southeast Campus Area Committee members felt the planned apartment may conflict with other university and city rules. The apartment complex is affected by guidelines set by the city and university, which determine what types of buildings can be constructed. According to UW Facilities Planning and Management Director, Gary Brown, the campus and neighborhood plan requires room for green space and buildings with the purpose of academic research and does not include housing. “At this point, [the university is] not talking about adding any housing,” Brown said. “But there continues to be a market for private housing close to and on campus.” The plans for the complex are similar to other high-rises in the area, like the Equinox and Grand Central buildings, and Resnick said he agrees the “dilapidated” area needs to be updated. “From the aesthetic look to the neighborhood to the other amenities in this building, I do not have any concerns,” Resnick said. The Plan Commission is scheduled to hear the apartment plans on Feb. 20.

Lasee ends campaign for Senate seat State Sen. Frank Lasee, R-Ledgeview, announced Sunday he is ending his campaign for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Democrat Herb Kohl, who will not seek re-election. In a statement Sunday, Lasee said that it was not the right time to run for U.S. Senate. Lasee said on his website, “We deeply appreLASEE ciate all of the volunteers, new and familiar friends who believed in me and our message of a lim-

ited constitutional government.” The remaining candidates for the Senate seat are former Gov. Tommy Thompson, former U.S. Rep. Mark Neumann, and Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald, R-Horicon. U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin of Madison is the only Democrat in the race. Lasee emphasized the importance of putting a “real conservative” in office on Sunday. He did not endorse another candidate, but he did express his desire for a conservative who would balance the budget without raising taxes and create a more efficient energy policy.

A researcher was taken to the hospital Monday after a distillation device shattered in a Chemistry Building lab.

chemistry from page 1 following the explosion, the rest of the Chemistry Building remained opened. Monday’s incident was the second chemical accident on campus facilities in the past few months. A December spill of a highly flammable solvent in a campus biochemistry building injured one graduate student. This recent spell of accidents, according to Rob McClain, who leads the Chemistry

Department’s Safety Committee, should be considered “atypical,” though potential mishap is always probable with the nature of chemical research. “All researchers on campus who go and work with chemicals have to pay attention to these things,” McClain said. “There are hazards associated to the work we do, and those risks… have showed up in terms of [the recent] incidents.” Lauren Michael contributed to this report.

Public meeting will present campus disaster responses A meeting will be held tomorrow in Steenbock Library to introduce the public to campus disaster plans for a variety of potential incidents. University officials, who are developing a “Disaster Resistant University” plan, are inviting community members to participate in the mapping out of university protocol for responding to a number of different hazards. The threats include natural disasters, such as tornados and floods, technological dangers

like structural fires, and political threats such as terrorism. Potential response strategies developed by university officials and outside consultants behind the plan, which will be submitted to FEMA for approval and federal funding, will be available at the meeting for public review. The meeting will take place from 4-6 p.m. in 240 Steenbock. ben siegel

Michelle Obama phones in to talk with UW students The 2012 presidential election may be more than nine months away, but a group of UW students eager to reelect President Barack Obama gathered Monday for a teleconference with First Lady Michelle Obama on the coming campaign. The first lady, calling from Washington DC, thanked the group and said campus teams and volunteers “are the heart and soul of this campaign.” Chairman for both Young Progressives and Students for Barack Obama in Madison Sam Gehler said Monday marks the start of the field program to reelect Obama. At Monday’s event, 58 new volunteers signed up to be a part of the campaign. “We were really excited to have a lot of interested students turn out. A lot of new people that we haven’t seen involved before were drawn out by

the first lady and we’re really happy to bring them on board,” Gehler said. She said in his first term, President Obama enacted policies that directly affect students’ lives, mentioning legislation that doubled the number of Pell Grants, health care reforms that help recent college grads stay insured, raised school standards and more. “But let’s be very clear, while we’ve made some real progress, we have a long way to go,” the first lady said. “There is plenty of work left to be done.” Soon, Young Progressives and Students for Barack Obama will start knocking on doors, making phone calls and holding events. Rep. Chris Taylor, D-Madison, also attended the event and spoke about the coming election. —Tyler Nickerson

he SOPA and PIPA controversies have been on every musiclover’s mind, and it was a relief to many when the legislation was dropped. However, it does leave us with questions that will inevitably effect us in the future, as the issues that SOPA and PIPA attempted to address are far from being byone woes. These bills revolved around copyright infringement by foreign sites, and were mostly related to sites like MegaUpload which made their money off of copyright infringement. Without getting too far into the legal mumbo-jumbo, the bills were effectively considering making the U.S. government responsible for foreign web traffic into the country. Sounds a bit too much like Big Brother watching over our shoulders if you ask me. I’m not going to say that piracy isn’t an even greater problem, because it can be, but what is a problem is the lack of an adapting business model. People don’t want to pay

for music anymore. It’s that simple. Sure, this also addresses movies and eBooks, among other files that can be shared. However, a lot of what’s at the heart of this debate is the RIAA and their associated labels pushing for legislation to stop piracy. I will admit that piracy can harm an artist’s livelihood. Some artists are trying new methods of collecting money for their albums (and by new I mean Radiohead let people pay what they wanted once, in 2008), and it can work for them. What isn’t working is putting the same singles on the radio and putting the same records in the shops. People want something more compelling. I have a lot of music, some

of which I can’t explain the origins of. I also have a pretty decent collection of vinyl for a college budget and a lot of CDs that I bought in high school and my first year of college. I

have only ever bought one album digitally, a Mexican pop punk band named Allison, which I couldn’t find in any store I checked in Wisconsin, or even online at the time. This one purchase completely turned me off from digital music however. I couldn’t put the music on my .mp3 player because it wasn’t an iPod. It wouldn’t play on the computer in my room, which wasn’t connected to the internet at that point because it was a dinoGraphic by angel lee saur. I sure as hell couldn’t give a song or two to my friend to check out without authorizing his computer to my iTunes, which you can only do five times. Talk about jumping through hoops. The only way around any of this? Burn the album to a CD, from a low quality file, and then rip the CD to your computer in a compressed MP3 format, effectively compressing it again. So I paid $9.99 for an album that I couldn’t listen to except on my parents computer. What a hassle. On the reverse side of that coin is physical media, which is more expensive, but so much more fun. I have a turntable in the living room in my apartment, and between my roommates and I

we have everything from Glenn Miller and Johnny Cash to Bad Religion and System of a Down. The beauty is, there is a USB output from the record player which goes into a laptop and records lossless FLAC files. Everything I have on vinyl can also be on my computer and my broken iPod! Genius! A lot of the records that I’ve bought this year also came with a download code, which I could redeem for a digital copy of the album (in every case I’ve run into thus far DRM free) if I needed one. I realize that not everyone has a record player, and that some musicians don’t have the type of fans that collect every album, every obscure picture disc and every 12” single, but that’s not the point. I got something extra with my purchase, other than the physical media, the nice sleeve with cool album art and the liner notes that the artist chose to include. I got hassle free digital copies of those albums. Some artists really go out of their way to make the album a special thing. When Ben Folds released Lonely Avenue in 2010 with Nick Hornby there were several editions available, most of which included the CD. There was also a version which came with a photo book and more writing by Hornby, who wrote the lyrics for the album. Butch Walker has done some very extravagant release packages for his last two albums, and Bad Religion recently released their entire discography on vinyl in a box set for their 30th anniversary. Buying music isn’t cheap, but then again neither is making it. Have some thoughts on the future of file-sharing or the profitability of the music industry? Just want to complain?

This week in new releases, Daniel Radcliffe appears on the silver screen without a scar on his forehead, Lana Del Rey brings her melodrama (and her lips) to record stores and Final Fantasy actually becomes entertaining. Intrigued? Read on, arts compatriots. Film buffs, fear not. Although the Oscar nominations are past us, quality movies are still hitting theatres this week. The aforementioned Daniel Radcliffe post-Harry Potter film “The Woman in Black” is to be released this Friday, Feb. 3, and has been receiving generally positive reviews. Receiving even more stellar reviews is “Chronicle,” a film directed by Josh Trank, and a story of high school students who stumble upon extraordinary powers. This modern adaptation of the “inception-of-a-superhero” story looks like a unique and thrilling sci-fi. For quality releases in the music world, keep an eye out for Leonard Cohen’s Old Ideas and Lana Del Rey’s Born To Die. Both albums will be released Tuesday, Jan. 31. Old Ideas is being praised as a genius contribution to the Cohen repertoire, and lyrically deft to boot. Born To Die has been lauded as a melancholic and mysterious work, with perhaps a touch too much haughty drama. Gamers also have something to look forward to this week, with the release of “Final Fantasy XIII-2” for PS3 and Xbox 360 and “SoulCalibur V” for PS3, which have both received warm reviews for their well-crafted graphics and gameplay.

opinion Walker campaign fueled by outsiders dailycardinal.com

sam witthuhn opinion columnist

ccording to Wisconsin state law, a candidate subject to a recall election is allowed the unique privilege to solicit an unlimited amount of money for their campaign until an official recall election date is set. Created to balance the scale by allowing a candidate to circumvent normal campaign finance laws in a somewhat abnormal election, the law gives representatives some form of monetary defense in what many may classify as an unanticipated election. Although it’s pretty obvious his war chest has never been lacking in Franklins, Grants and good ol’ Jacksons, Wisconsin’s recall candidate in golden armor, Gov. Scott Walker, has sucked the aforementioned law for all it’s worth, and undoubtedly tipped the financial scale in his favor. Raising about $4.5 million in the five weeks since the recall election was filed, Walker has tapped into Wisconsin’s recall contribution loophole like an experienced college senior would a keg filled with Optimator—swift but with

clean finesse. While he finally seems to be following a real Wisconsin law, I can’t help but analyze Walker’s methods of exploiting this one campaign finance regulation that, to me, unfairly caters to his advantage. You see, with the recall election Walker doesn't need office aids or chiefs of staff to unlawfully use public time, money and resources to raise campaign money—illegal actions the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office uncovered in their John Doe investigation of Walker’s first gubernatorial campaign. This time around, Walker is actually permitted to raise as much money as he wants from whomever he wants, no under-the-table misdemeanors needed. What luck. But this is where things start to make less moral sense to me. Because I perfectly understand how someone like Jafar, Cruella or Sauron might use these financial tactics in their rise to power, but someone like Gandalf or Russ Feingold would never play by these rules. While grassroots efforts have sprung up across the state in an honest attempt to mobilize citizens, canvass on the streets and, ultimately, garner over 1 million signatures for the recall, Walker decided to leave the very state petitioning

against him to solicit funds from donors outside of Wisconsin. Walker received money from individuals who aren’t directly affected by Walker’s rigid laws and disproportional state budget and who aren’t struggling under his administration. Out of the about $4.5 million in campaign funds Walker received over the last five weeks, 61 percent were from out-of-state donors. That means that over half of the individuals financing Walker’s campaign to remain the governor of Wisconsin aren’t even from Wisconsin. According to the Green Bay Press Gazette, some of the largest contributions were made by David Humphreys of the Tamko Building Products in Joplin, Mo. ($250,000), Sarah Atkins of Tamko ($250,000), Stanley Herzog of Herzog Contracting in Missouri ($250,000) and the owner of Houston-based Perry Homes, Bob Perry ($250,000). That’s a fast million right there. What was the largest contribution made to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin in those same five weeks? Just a simple $40,000 from Grant Albert, a retiree living in Hillpoint, Wis., bringing the Wisconsin Democratic Party’s total funding to a mere $394, 000—or just a weekend at the spa for Mr. and Mrs. Walker.

Men’s Basketball

Badgers hope to stay hot against PSU By Ted Porath The Daily Cardinal

The No. 19/20 Wisconsin men’s basketball team (6-3 Big Ten, 17-5 overall) will head into Saturday’s Big Ten matchup with Penn State (2-7 Big Ten, 10-12 overall) riding high after extending its winning streak to five games with a victory over No. 17 Indiana, 57-50, Thursday night. Thursday’s win over Indiana was a little uncharacteristic of previous Badger wins as Wisconsin shot only 4-for-17 from behind the three-point line. With the Badger offense relying so heavily on making the three-point shot, it is a little surprising to see those shooting numbers attached to a Badger win. Luckily for

We’re going streaking! Wisconsin looks to build on a pair of streaks Thursday against Penn State.

The Badgers’ five-game Big Ten win streak is the longest for UW since 2008-’09, the third longest among BCS conference schools this season, and has vaulted the Bagders back into the national rankings. Wisconsin will also look to continue its success against the Nittany Lions. The Badgers have beaten Penn State in 13 of their last 15 meetings.

Ryan Evans and the Wisconsin defense will have to contain the Big Ten’s leading scorer, Penn State guard Tim Frazier. long for the Lions no matter the defender, even scoring 17 on one of the nation’s best defenders, Ohio State sophomore guard Aaron Craft. Frazier is very capable of taking over a game and putting Penn State on his back, so it

will be very important for the Badgers to contain Frazier and make the rest of his teammates put the ball in the basket. Tuesday’s tip-off between the Badgers and Nittany Lions is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Kohl Center.

Wisconsin holds off Wolverines for third straight win

The Wisconsin women’s basketball team (4-5 Big Ten, 8-13 overall) found itself up 47-31 with just over 11 minutes left in the game against Michigan (5-4, 16-6), but allowed a 16-0 run to knot the score at 47 with six minutes remaining. Sophomore guard Morgan Paige finally ended the drought by convert-

ing on a tricky left-handed layup. Sophomore forward Cassie Rochel then scored seven of her nine points in the remaining four minutes—along with the team’s stellar free-throw shooting—to hold off the comeback effort. The Badgers came out on top 66-60. “[Paige] took it right down the lane with her left hand with the score tied,” Michigan head coach

Kevin Borseth said of the gamechanger. “That was a key layup, that was the layup that broke our back I thought.” “That lane just opened up and I just took that opportunity and ran with it,” Paige said. The Badgers have uncharacteristically struggled from the free throw line in its last three games, shooting only 58.8 percent (20of-34), but last night proved to be different as they hit 10-of-11 (90.9 percent) free throws against the Wolverines. That shooting continued down the stretch, as they went 6-of-7 during the last 51 seconds. “Throughout the year we’ve been a pretty good free throw shooting team up until these last couple of games,” Wisconsin head coach Bobbie Kelsey said. “So I know we can hit them. I have confidence that any of them can step up there and hit the free throws,” she added. By looking at the halftime score it would appear the Badgers played dominantly on the defensive end. The Badgers led 26-16, but the real story was the atrocious shooting the Wolverines displayed. They went a dismal 1-of-13 (7.7 percent) from long range and only 6-of-26 (23.1 percent) from the floor. According to Borseth, however, the poor shooting couldn’t be contributed to Wisconsin’s defense. “(Wisconsin) just sat back and said ‘You know what, this is a game of P.I.G., shoot it, see if you can make it’,” he said. “We didn’t make it. And one thing led to another, and before you know it, we’re trying to make something out of nothing.” This isn’t the only time the

Wolverines have struggled mightily from beyond the arc in the first half of games. In the team’s previous game against Penn State Jan. 26, Michigan shooters went an even worse 1-of-17 from three-point range. “And we’re a team that can shoot,” Borseth said of the abnormal shooting lately. “But we just have not been able to hit the broad side of a barn the last couple of games.”

The victory for the Badgers is the third in a row—all against unranked opponents—and puts the team right in the middle of the Big Ten conference standings. The Badgers now find themselves tied

with Iowa and Minnesota and are only one game behind Michigan State for a tie for sixth place. “It just gives us confidence that we can compete against anybody in this league,” Kelsey said of the team’s recent run. Junior guard Taylor Wurtz led all scorers with 21, and Michigan junior center Rachel Sheffer was a close second with 20, 13 of which came in the second half. The 6 foot 1 Watervliet, Mich. native proved instrumental during the comeback in the second half. “We needed something,” Borseth said. “She was pretty key for us.” Senior guard Jade Davis had 13 points, and Rochel had all nine of her points in the second half. Senior forward Anya Covington led the Badgers in rebounds with eight. “The biggest thing about us is we always fight and we always stick together,” Rochel said of the team’s progress this season. “I think that’s definitely showing now.” Wisconsin next plays the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Kohl Center Thursday night. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m.
