City leaders propose new alcohol plan By Patricia Johnson THE DAILY CARDINAL
Madison city leaders are considering preliminary proposals to the city’s current alcohol license density ordinance set to expire on April 1. The new plans are designed to encourage late-night entertainment in areas of the city where growth is currently banned. The current ordinance restricts the addition of new bars within the downtown area, according to Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4. The ordinance was originally created in 2007 due to excessive complaints about alcohol-related disturbances. “From a student’s perspective, the current law is controversial because it limits the opportunity for additional campus bars,” Verveer said. According to Verveer, the disturbances still exist but there are significantly fewer complaints made to city representatives since
the passage of the alcohol license density ordinance, also known as ALDO, in 2007. Verveer said he and Ald. Shiva Bidar-Sielaff, District 5, presented city Council with numerous plans for the new alcohol licensing ordinance. The most significant change presented to the council involves shrinking the ALDO footprint from the entire downtown area to a few blocks closer to campus. According to Verveer, the new ordinance would span the 500 and 600 blocks of State Street and the 600 block of University Avenue. The two blocks would be connected by North Lake Street on the east of the block and West Gilman to the west side of the blocks. Verveer said since most police service calls are “concentrated in that area,” minimizing the ordinance location prevents excessive law enforcement precautions.

Martial arts student organization withdraws from GSSF funding The Western Martial Arts Society has withdrawn from the General Student Service Fund for the remainder of this fiscal year and has surrendered its funding for the next fiscal year, according to Student Services Finance Committee Chair David Vines.
The WMAS is a registered student organization that strives to practice and inform others on martial arts common to ancient Europe. The group was granted funding for this year of $95,177.24 for 2013-’14, a significant decrease from its proposed amount of $164,362.29.
UW professor tackles racial academic disparities THE DAILY CARDINAL
University of WisconsinMadison Professor Gloria Ladson-Billings goes beyond the classroom in her quest to diminish racial disparities on and off campus. Furthering diversity and improving the imbalance of academic performance among minorities and “white matron kids” on campus are issues crucial to Ladson-Billings, who teaches both undergraduate and graduate education courses in the school of education at UW-Madison. Ladson-Billings said she believes the university needs to emphasize student retention rather than recruitment and cited the lack of diverse entertainment offered on and around campus as a possible reason for minority students feeling excluded from the university community. “When I’m driving through campus on Fridays or Saturday nights and see students lined
up outside of bars, it is rare that I see a student of color in that line,” Ladson-Billings said. “Why? Because actually the research shows us that black kids in particular are not really heavy drinkers. So if what the campus offers for socializing is ‘let’s go get drunk,’ they’re left out.” She said one way to avoid losing students is by “[staying] current with what they’re engaged in.” As a way to remain relevant, Ladson-Billings will host the fourth “Getting Real” series, a free semester-long lecture series on the educational theories behind the hip-hop movement, beginning Feb. 17. “You would probably have to live under a rock if you didn’t understand that hip-hop is kind of a driving course of youth culture right now and not just black youth culture,” LadsonBillings explained. “I’ve traveled the world, and I see hiphop everywhere.” The lecture series will focus

Memorial Union’s Der Stiftskeller will reopen its doors Monday at 3 p.m. after a five-month hiatus, according to a university news release. Der Stiftskeller closed in October as part of the Memorial Union Reinvestment project, which will be fully completed by summer of 2016, according to the release. Melanie Taylor, project manager of the restoration, said in a November interview with The Daily Cardinal her team’s objective is to improve infrastructure of the building, not to change its image, a goal which has been seen through at Der Stiftskeller. Improvements include six cash registers and new serving windows, which will serve a greater variety of beer, the release said. However, the iconic traits of Der Stiftskeller will remain intact. “This is a sacred space to people. We wanted it to be the same,” said Howard Haas, project manager from Conrad Schmitt, the company in charge of recreating Der Stiftskeller’s quintessential murals. “It should look like no construction was done.”

UW-Madison to offer Pilates certificate

TUESDAY: sunny
Collette Stewart walks around the sunlit room that houses her Pilates class every Friday morning, snapping her fingers and fixing her students’ positions, never missing a beat. “Your body is so, so individual,” she tells them, offering instructions on breathing and keeping a “neutral spine.” Stewart is one of two faculty instructors teaching University of Wisconsin-Madison’s brandnew Pilates certificate, a 20-credit program focusing on the practice and teaching of the exercise. The certificate will teach Pilates at the intermediate and advanced levels, generally requiring two years to complete, and will include a summer studio course. Although UW-Madison will not grant certification for instruction, the program will prepare students with the credentials necessary to take the Pilates Method Alliance Certification exam, Stewart said.

Black History Month event to honor Madison artist A reception will be held for Madison artist Linda MathisRose celebrating her featured exhibit, “One (African) Awareness” this Wednesday at the Madison Municipal Building lobby. Organized by Madison Arts Commission as well as the Multicultural Affairs Committee, Mathis-Rose’s exhibit is part of the citywide Black History Month celebration of “Civil Rights in America”. Mathis-Rose, interested in drawing and painting from a very young age, seeks to incorporate her own experiences as an
African American female artist in her work, according to a City of Madison press release. “[Art] became part of my arms, fingers and thoughts,” MathisRose said. “One (African) Awareness” focuses on the movement of the African people within 12 paintings, composing Mathis-Rose’s vision. The event, which is free and open to the public, will start at noon on Wednesday, Feb. 12, featuring speaker Joyce Boggess, President and Founder of Early Childhood Learning Center and poetry readings of Fabu.
Sen. Paul Farrow responds to Rep. Taylor’s criticism of budget resolution State Sen. Paul Farrow, R-Pewaukee, responded Friday to criticism from state Rep. Chris Taylor, D-Madison, on a resolution requiring the federal government to operate under a balanced budget. Farrow and other representatives introduced Assembly Joint Resolution 81 to the American Legislative Exchange Council Jan. 21. The representatives created the resolution in response to a December 2010 National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility report predicting “severe devastation” if the nation does not reorganize.
“I joined Representative [Chris] Kapenga in this endeavor to send a message to Washington that Wisconsinites are fed up with their inaction on budgetary matters and the time has come for real solutions, not just broken promises,” Farrow said in the release. AJR 81 is part of a Convention of States campaign, which Taylor said aims to amend the Constitution and limit federal government. Farrow called Taylor a “Madison liberal” and said he was offended by her claims that AJR 81 is the “latest ALEC scheme.”

Nightclubs would not be prohibited within the new proposal’s limits. “That’s a nod to encourage more venues to allow 18+ entertainment offerings,” Verveer said. City representatives plan to extend the current ALDO to allow the new plan to take effect July 1, when the annual liquor license year begins.
Perspective bar owners would not be permitted to create new taverns in the proposed areas unless they are replacing existing taverns. Current bars or nightclubs would be grandfathered in, leaving them exempt from new approval processes, according to Verveer.

It’s a nice way to wake up on Fridays,” Disch added. Stewart said she looks forward to sharing her favorite parts of Pilates with her students. “It creates this kind of selfconfidence and empowerment type of quality for people and I really enjoy that in teaching Pilates,” Stewart said. ing a direct service to students. “Their contract is essentially that they have to provide direct services and if they aren’t doing that then they won’t get eligibility,” Vines said. “It’s been about a half year and they haven’t been able to provide any direct services.” Vines said while he hopes to find a way to make the $87,017 left in WMAS’s budget available to other RSOs, the alternative is the money will be placed in GSSF reserves for next year’s allocation. —Emily Gerber
Rep. Clark will not seek re-election State Rep. Fred Clark, D-Baraboo, announced Friday his decision not to run for reelection to the state Assembly in 2014, according to a release. Clark has represented Wisconsin residents in Dane, Sauk, Columbia, Marquette, Adams and Iowa counties since 2009. According to the release, Clark had no political background when he first ran for office. “I continue to believe today what I believed then—that electing a local representative should be a community effort that reflects
our long tradition of a citizen legislature,” Clark said in the release. Clark said he will work to complete the 2014 legislative session, create a nonpartisan process for legislative redistricting and secure passage of “important” and “longneeded” reforms, including fair funding for public schools. Clark serves as the Council on Forestry chair and the Committee on Tourism vicechair and is a member of the Forest Guild, Society of American Foresters, Nature Conservancy and National Wild Turkey Federation.

Responsible action bill makes student safety a first priority
T
he state Senate’s Committee on Universities and Technical Colleges reviewed a student-initiated bill that, if approved, would grant immunity to underage drinkers who call 911 to ask for help for their peers in emergency situations involving alcohol. The Daily Cardinal Editorial Board supports those introducing, sponsoring and authoring the bill such as state Sen. Fred Risser, D-Madison and University of Wisconsin junior and Legislative Affairs Committee Chair Morgan Rae. Under the proposed bill, an underage person may not be issued a citation if he/she person asks for emergency medical help for him or herself or for the person they are with who need help. The underage person must remain at the scene until medical or police assistance arrives and be cooperative. This bill would also prohibit the Board of Regents at the UW System and any other two- or four-year UW System school from enforcing disciplinary measures to those students who do commit underage
drinking violations. Currently, these consequences include removal from courses, enrollment restrictions, suspension or expulsion and removal from student housing.
The Daily Cardinal Editorial Board supports those introducing, sponsoring and authoring the bill.
We believe this bill and its authors are making student safety a priority. While in college, many students find themselves in situations where they need emergency medical assistance for either themselves or a friend, but are afraid to call for help because of the potential consequences. Students often do not want to call for help for their friends because they worry about the state of those friendships. The fear of police or university punishment will deter students from calling for help in dangerous situations involving alcohol, but in those moments, the safety of the individual

should be the utmost priority. While UW-Madison currently has responsible-action guidelines protecting students from punishment in emergency situations involving alcohol on campus, many of these incidents occur off-campus which is a reason why students may choose not to call for help.
Fact: According to Wisconsin Legislature, evidence shows underage youth are hesitant to call for emergency medical services due to fear of legal retribution.
Criminalizing these situations fosters an atmosphere of fear and can silence students who are in risky situations where their health or the health of friends could be at stake. We feel this bill will provide an environment where students will not hesitate to call for emergency medical assistance. Let’s be clear: we do not condone underage drinking or drinking to a point where an individual needs emergency medical assistance. But if these situations occur, we want the primary thought at the time to be to call for help. Additionally, we commend Morgan Rae for initiating this bill during her freshman year and seeing it through the state approval process. As a student, she took an issue that resonates with the student body and took action. The Responsibile Action Bill has the potential to save lives. As students concerned with student issues, we encourage the state to approve this bill. What do you think of the bill? Do you think this bill will curb campus alcohol-related safety issues?

Voters are partially to blame for polarized political system JEFF BIRNKRANT opinion columnist
T
he people will always get the government they deserve. I’m aware of two ways to rebel against our government, the first being an armed rebellion (not a good idea), and the other being our ability to elect who we wish. So when I see people upset with the way their government is functioning, or in this case, not functioning, it asks the question; can we be upset with our government when we are the ones electing them? It’s awful, of course, to think we have caused polarity to get the best of us. Unfortunately, I wasn’t alive when your candidate choice didn’t define
you and who to choose was an intelligent, informed decision. As our polarity increases, the candidates are becoming more and more incapable of covering the needs of their constituents. Whoever has the best rhetoric has become easier to elect than someone who approaches situations without bias and can make an informed decision instead of a predetermined one. I believe primaries have played a massive role in this loss of true democracy. As time goes on, more and more states are looking to move their primary date earlier to emphasize their state’s role in the process. However, what the American people see is what Mitt Romney called a “scrum” in his latest documentary on Netflix. Thus, the further primary dates are pushed back, the more in-house fighting we are going to see. It’s been
a while since we have seen a nice Democratic “scrum,” but that is right around the corner. Watching these primaries is like watching a freight train crash in slow motion and the last man or woman standing gets the nod. People make decisions based on primaries and debates where one comment could mean the end of a campaign.
Can we be upset with our government when we are the ones electing them?
What’s wrong with this, besides the fact that they are constantly beating each other senseless? Voter confidence will continue to drop as we see our elected officials getting torn apart for more time.
It’s like letting a six-pack sit in the sun all day and having to chose one. It’s sad that this is what we have been reduced to. A potential cap on the date for primaries could fix this problem to allow more debate in the general election for a candidate. What’s the point in electing people if in-house fighting will be their downfall? The “system” we have crafted is hurting us more than we can imagine, and I believe that will be completely evident in 2016 presidential debates on both sides of the aisle. It’s not entirely the voters fault, as candidates are subject to the party agenda and contributors much of the time. These people didn’t come out of nowhere, however, we elected them. So when I see congress at a 13 percent approval rate, I think our voters deserve to shoulder more of the blame than is given. We are allowed
to revolt against our government through these voting mechanisms for a reason, but to elect someone on the basis of saying “no” to everything; you’ve elected a jackass. The same is true for someone who will say “yes” to everything. Let’s go back to the times where “maybe” was an option, and you could enter a voting booth without your predetermined, minced candidate of choice. As things continue to get more black and white, the want for a grey area is crucial. As comedian Lewis Black said, “In my lifetime, we’ve gone from Eisenhower to George W. Bush. We’ve gone from John F. Kennedy to Al Gore. If this is evolution, I believe that in twelve years, we’ll be voting for plants.” Do you agree with Jeff that voters need to place more responsibiity on themselves and the officials they elect?

Valentine’s Day Special: An assortment of relationships Michael Podgers sex columnist
F
or Valentine’s Day, let’s talk relationships, relationships, relationships, in all forms! In our modern world, it’s hard to define most of our relationships, much less celebrate Valentine’s Day with them! Where’s a V-Day card for our Grindr or Tinder fuck buddies, Hallmark?! So whether we’re fretting about what to buy one lover—or six—let’s look at sharing the love in more than one way. Here’s a nifty guide to different types of relationships, from monogamy to fuck buddies! It’s like a box of chocolates; we pick and choose from different choices and eat what we like for others . (I hear people at The Daily Cardinal like marzipan!) Side Note: If you don’t know what you’re getting, poke the bottom of the chocolate to see what’s inside. Nobody will notice if you put it back… (Was that sexual?) There are some things to be said for all types of relationships. First, the more communication the better. Second, the more partners one has, the greater the chance of sexually transmitted infections, which is important to consider if barrier-free sex is a possibility. Which will be helped by communication! Full circle, yo. Traditional relationships This is a relationship a la Leave it to Beaver. Two people fall in love—or lust—with each other and partner up in monogamous bliss.
Usually, exclusivity and camaraderie are born out of these relationships. But conflict can arise if two people’s lives diverge. If both partners wish to remain together, energy and sacrifice on both ends can become necessary for relationship maintenance. Open relationships In this relationship partners are allowed to see other people outside of the relationship for added sexytimes, or can frequently engage in multiperson sex. This is good for “lovers” who like to get way more ‘love’ than they can just give each other. However, the definition of ‘open’ can vary depending on the pair. Polyamorous relationships In this relationship, three or more people consent to and/or are aware of multiple romantic relationships occurring within one circle. This could mean one or both members of a couple dates other people separate from their “main” relationship or that three or more people are all in a relationship together. An obvious benefit of this type of relationship is that there is a lot of love, which allows people to indulge in the fun of dating and sexual encounters with multiple partners while having the benefit of romance and strong open communication. Downsides include the possibility of jealousy and
more intricate (but complex) communication. But seriously. So much bone. Friends with benefits Exactly what it sounds like: friends who like to get it on with each other! This can be a great situation for friends who aren’t looking for a more serious romantic relationship, but still want the goodies of sex with strong communication and personal connections. This can range from just cuddling to the bow-chicka-wowwow. Some downsides are fears an otherwise good friendship will deteriorate or turn into a romantic relationship (let’s assume Graphic by Mikaela Albright that’s not what we want), or make starting another romantic relationship more difficult. Can include watching Family Feud. Fuck buddies Yup, exactly. This kind of relationship is all about two (or more) people who like each other enough to mutually work to getting the O-face, but otherwise are perfectly fine not having much of relationship outside of the bedroom. While dating isn’t often a possibility, we usually get what we want out of these simpler relationships.
Booty calls Our booty call is our infrequent sexual partner who we can call out of the blue and have an almost guaranteed twist and shout with. That’s a definite upside, especially when we just need to get some, but communication might not be as strong. At no point should we feel compelled to use only one relationship model. These are blue prints that can be fitted together to best fit our lives and desires. We can be in an open relationship for example, but only fool around with mutual friends (together or apart or maybe even go on a “double date,” if you catch my drift) making an open relationship-to-friends with benefits combination. And no matter what model we chose, taking advantage of simple techniques can help mitigate the downsides of all models: using strong, honest but patient and frank communication will help us work through problems in any relationship. When we have more than one partner, making sure to use barriers or getting regular STI screenings (check out UHS for free STI screenings) lowers our chances of sharing a little more than love. Cupid is a freaky dude, but since his intentions are so freaky good, let’s allow him to do his job! Happy Valentine’s Day all. Any questions about the proverbial box of chocolates, Forrest Gump? Ask Michael by emailing him at mpodgers@wisc.edu.

Neutral Milk Hotel played alongside former labelmates Elf Power at Madison’s Orpheum Theater Saturday, Feb. 8.
Neutral Milk Hotel sell out Orpheum with rare show By Sean Reichard The Daily Cardinal
The return of a beloved band from inactivity could be construed as messianic. And while it is overmuch to assume said band walks to every concert on rays of light and ringed with aureoles, the effect is analogous for fans. On Feb. 8, one such band returned to Madison and performed under the sold out dome of the Orpheum Theater. Saturday marked the return of Neutral Milk Hotel—Athens, Ga.’s, finest and the most lauded member of the Elephant 6 Recording Company. The show wasn’t opener/headliner but rather two crack groups: The aforementioned Neutral Milk Hotel and Athens, Ga. cohorts Elf Power. Suffice to say, both bands brought their absolute most—and absolute best—to the stage. Elf Power’s lead singer/guitarist Andrew Rieger brought much warmth and humor to the proceedings, thanking everyone for coming out when their set was done and giving a special shout out to all the fans who had massed themselves in front of the stage: “Did you [all] bring a little catheter bag or something?” When guitarist Jeff Mangum took the stage, attired in a splendid sweater, the crowd erupted in cheers. This reporter felt a twinge of awe. Here was something that had previously been an impossibility, a live Neutral Milk Hotel show. Now it was reality—an amazing, humbling reality. And when Mangum veered into “TwoHeaded Boy,” this reporter felt the tears creep up on the back of his goosebumps. The defining feature of the show was its energy. Nearly every song from their catalogue (save some instrumentals) made an appearance that night—including all
of In The Aeroplane Over The Sea—and each was supercharged and frenetic. The band was very gracious to be there, in that moment. Mangum had requested before the show that people don’t take pictures or videos of the show, and he only had to ask once in the show for people to stop. Multi-instrumentalist Julian Koster was especially ebullient, saying to the crowd (and in particular, to a group of people who had camped out in front of the Orpheum at 7 a.m. so they could stand in front of the stage,) “Madison seems like a pretty wonderful place for us.” The band took an encore and played the finishing suite from In The Aeroplane Over the Sea: “Ghost/Untitled/TwoHeaded Boy Pt. 2.” The crowd was in raptures the whole time. People climbed on each others’ shoulders and hopped around during the “Untitled” part. The real finale came, not with a paean to Mangum’s “Two-Headed Boy,” but to the audience. The band came back on to play “Engine,” which Mangum dedicated as a lullaby. And when it was all done, the audience did feel like they had passed into a dream—the dream of seeing a beloved band live, when there was previously no possibility. Neutral Milk Hotel graced the Orpheum with a supernal performance— so did Elf Power—and while they were not walking on rays of light, they nonetheless portended something divine. And yes, this reporter professes, under the bright stage lights, each band was faintly ringed with aureoles. This is an abridged version of The Daily Cardinal’s review of Neutral Milk Hotel at the Orpheum Theater. The full version can be read at dailycardinal.com.
anuary has come and gone. Its passing marks the end of yet another season of the show we love to hate: “American Horror Story.” Let me preface this by admitting I was once a fan of its hijinks. The first season had me teetering on obsession. While other, more proactive students focused on expanding their intelligence, I was engrossed in the fictional world of haunted houses, gruesome murders and unrelenting mystery. Sure, I recognized its flair for the ridiculous—at times it resembled a trip through the halls of a bad haunted house, simultaneously inducing both frights and laughter. But I didn’t care—it was wildly entertaining. When the premise for the second season was revealed, “AHS: Asylum,” I was ecstatic. There is nothing more frightening than the minds of the criminally insane. However, as the weeks went by, I began to wonder if the creators of “AHS” were as unstable as the patients of Briarcliff Manor. Whether they were banking on the loyalty of their previously established fan base or they just decided to throw all rationality to the wind, “Asylum” seemed beyond characterization. The season included a myriad of divergent subplots featuring psychopaths, aliens, Nazis, flesh eating monsters and demons, with virtually nothing to weave them all together. I was beyond confused and beginning to question my allegiance. This brings us to the third season, “AHS: Coven.” Once again, the creators at FX served viewers with an intriguing premise promising witches, dark magic and the historical richness of New Orleans. I, more than anyone, hoped it would allow me the chance to forgive and forget the craziness of season two. In theory, this would be the part where I’d explain to you the basics of the plot and tell you what the heck it was about but frankly, I’m having a difficult time narrowing it down. It’s as if the writers just had so many ideas that they couldn’t come to a decision on what
to make it about so, in the end, they decided to make it about everything. On the surface it is a story about Miss Robichaux’s Academy, a boarding school and asylum for novice witches, and the problems that arise as a result of the violent and magical history of New Orleans. Complicate it with a dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship, a racist Kathy Bates, frankensteins, axe murderers, witch hunters threesomes, religious neighbors, voodoo, a hunt for the next Supreme and Stevie Nicks (yes, the real Stevie Nicks) and you have season three in a nutshell. In terms of performance, most of the show’s recurring favorites, as well as a slew of new faces, were given some amusing roles, though their relevance to the story is debatable. Some of the highlights include Jessica Lange, as glamorous as always, playing the reigning Supreme obsessed with maintaining her youth and her title. No complaints there. Kathy Bates as a racist psychopath returned from the past was also fun to watch, though she never fully developed into an important piece of the narrative. Evan Peters wasn’t given much dialogue as a resurrected Frankenstein, but his grunts were convincing enough, I suppose. Lastly, Stevie Nicks made an appearance as a magical, shawl-twirling Stevie Nicks. Need I say more? Mirroring its audacious plot, the style of season three was equally as outlandish. Employed for sheer dynamism and spectacle, the show was complete with swooping camera movements, canted angles and extreme lens lengths. Did it look cool? Yes. Did it mean anything? Probably not. “AHS” is a prime example of how a promising premise does not necessarily make for a great show. I have come to the conclusion that it’s not really meant to be taken seriously, and should be appreciated solely for the spectacle that it is. That being said, I find “AHS” to be like a slice of double chocolate cake. A piece here and there is an enticing treat but a weekly barrage of its richness can become exhausting and unpleasant. Though it has been confirmed for a fourth season, I am sad to say I’ve had enough—my stomach is aching and I’m wondering if it was worth it. Would you defend “AHS” to the death?

Women’s Hockey
Ammerman powers UW past Buckeyes
AMY GRUNTNER/CARDINAL FILE PHOTO
Redshirt junior forward Brittany Ammerman scored three goals this weekend in Wisconsin’s sweep of Ohio State. By Philip Spiler THE DAILY CARDINAL
Any team can get distracted a few days before a rivalry game. A matchup between the top two teams in the country could add even more distractions. This is the situation the Wisconsin women’s hockey team (19-3-2 WCHA, 23-3-2 overall) faced as they traveled to Ohio State (11-14-5, 6-13-5) this weekend,
sweep from page 8 on Rau, who went down hard into the ice. A fight ensued after and when the officials had finally sorted things out, McCabe’s hit was deemed illegal, earning him a major penalty and an ejection for the remainder of the night. Equalizing roughing penalties had the teams at a 4-on-4 for two minutes, and then the Gophers went on the major powerplay for three minutes. Minnesota junior right winger Seth Ambroz earned the Gophers the tying goal on the man-advantage. With the storyline similar to the night before, the teams came into the third period tied 1-1. And again as he was tested early on, Rumpel came up huge for his team with a stellar save against a surging Gopher offense. “It’s kind of a weird feeling for goaltending, but you just get in a bit of a groove,� Rumpel said of his confidence in net. “The puck just seems bigger, you’re reading plays before they happen and
just one week before the colossal matchup between the Badgers and No. 1-ranked Minnesota. Wisconsin would not fall prey to distractions as they swept the Buckeyes in Columbus. Three different Badgers scored and senior goaltender Alex Rigsby stopped all 13 shots she faced Friday night at the OSU Ice Rink. Wisconsin earned its 10th shutout of the season, conbeing on the ice more and battling hard in practice towards the end of the season helps a lot.� Just as it seemed like neither team could create any more offensive chances, it was Kerdiles who proved to be the difference maker with a slap shot from just inside the blue line. Kerdiles’ goal was his second point of the night, and his first goal since returning from injury. “He’s definitely a high-powered offensive player,� Simonelli said of his teammate. “And we need big players like that to step up in big games.� The Gophers once again couldn’t find a way to solve Rumpel and the Wisconsin defense, and fell 2-1 for the second night in a row. The last time Wisconsin swept a number one team was in 2004 against North Dakota, and their last sweep of Minnesota at home was in 1999. Sweeping their rival No. 1 Minnesota will certainly be one for the record books.
tinuing their dominant defensive performance as they lead the nation in scoring defense allowing 0.96 goals per contest. UW has limited its opponents to one goal or less in 20 of its 27 games this year. After a scoreless first period, the Badgers got on the board midway through the second, as redshirt junior forward Brittany Ammerman fired a laser past OSU senior goaltender Lisa Steffes on UW’s second power play of the night to give the Badgers a 1-0 lead. The goal marked Ammerman’s 18th of the year, which leads Wisconsin. The Badgers tacked on two goals late in the third, as senior defender Kelly Jaminski scored her fourth goal of the year off an OSU turnover in its own zone to extend UW’s lead to 2-0 with less than five minutes to go. Junior forward Blayre Turnbull added on Wisconsin’s final goal with 1:53 left to seal the win. “I told the team at the end of the game that was one of our overall strongest games from start to finish,� UW head coach Mark Johnson said. “We faced a tough team that hadn’t lost in seven or eight games on the smaller ice sheet, but we gave a great team effort. Everybody con-
tributed and it was nice to win the game.� Saturday night, a two-goal performance from Ammerman propelled the Badgers to a 3-2 victory. Senior Alex Rigsby was solid in the net once again for Wisconsin, making 23 saves to record her 96th career win and improve her season record to 13-2-2. Wisconsin outshot Ohio State 29-25 overall.
“We faced a tough team that hadn’t lost in seven or eight games on the smaller ice sheet, but we gave a great team effort.� Mark Johnson head coach Wisconsin women’s hockey
Ammerman scored first for the Badgers, sending a wrister to the upper shelf on a UW power play with 10 minutes remaining in the first period. Wisconsin entered the second period with a 1-0 lead after outshooting OSU 12-2 in the period. Next to light the lamp was freshman forward Sarah Nurse, who knocked in a pass from sophomore forward Rachel Jones on a two-on-one rush at the 4:34 mark to tally her 10th
collegiate goal and extend UW’s lead to two. The Buckeyes retaliated, punching in a puck that was bouncing around the Badgers’ net to score their first goal of the weekend and cut Wisconsin’s lead in half. OSU outshot Wisconsin in the second, taking 11 shots to Wisconsin’s seven. But Ammerman wasn’t finished, as she slid the puck past OSU goaltender Lisa Steffes early in the third frame to push UW to a 3-1 advantage. Thirteen minutes into the period, Ohio State’s junior defender Kari Schmitt slipped a loose puck past Rigsby during a five-on-four OSU advantage, leaving the Badgers with a onegoal lead during an intense final seven minutes of the game. Despite Ohio State’s lastminute offensive push after pulling Steffes from the net, the Buckeyes were unable to knot the score and the Badgers claimed all six possible points on the weekend. UW takes the ice next weekend in a home series against WCHA-foe and No. 1-ranked Minnesota. The series begins at LaBahn Arena Friday with a 7 p.m. start before concluding with the Fill-the-Bowl game at the Kohl Center Saturday at 7 p.m.

Men’s Basketball
Payne killer: Badgers stun Spartans By Jack Baer THE DAILY CARDINAL
Traevon Jackson has been a controversial player for the Badgers (6-5 Big Ten, 19-5 overall). He’s known as “Mr. Clutch” for making multiple game-winners, but also as a player who makes costly mistakes. Fans saw both sides of that today. It was infuriating at first, but was then followed by exhilaration. Jackson’s late jumper gave Wisconsin a much-needed win, putting them back into fourth place in the Big Ten and snapping what was an inexcusable threegame home losing streak. Beating a top ten team in No. 7 Michigan State (9-2, 20-4) was just a bonus. With senior guard Keith Appling and junior forward Branden Dawson out due to injury, the return of senior center Adreian Payne was expected to be crucial for the Spartans. The team showed this by feeding Payne on their first three possessions, allowing the center to create highpercentage shots going against junior center Frank Kaminsky. Payne eventually finished with 24 points on 9-of-16 shooting while serving as a focal point for the Spartan offense, despite head coach Tom Izzo saying that he wasn’t 100 percent healthy. “The foot was fine, he just had issues with conditioning.” Izzo said. The Badgers were able to counter with offense from their own frontcourt and force a close game. All of the Badgers’ points in the first 10 minutes of the game came from their big men. The other Michigan State star healthy enough to play, sophomore guard Gary Harris, had a miserable game, courtesy of a

After a week of heightened criticism, junior guard Traevon Jackson scores the game-winner. cold hand and redshirt junior guard Josh Gasser’s defense. “Full team effort there, I didn’t want to give him anything easy,” Gasser said. “I was trying to force him into my help. My guys did a good job of helping him out and forcing him into some tough shots.” Harris finished with six points on 3-for-20 shooting, and 0-for7 from 3-point range. Together, Harris and Payne took 60 percent of their team’s field goal attempts. “There were times where we just didn’t have anybody else in there who could make shots,” Izzo said. “The ball got stuck in [Harris’s] hands a lot, and in critical times with [Payne] out.” This narrow ability on offense caused the Spartans problems, clearly exemplified by missing 13
shots in a row to finish the half. On the Badgers’ side of the ball, Gasser scored five points in a row to end the half and give Wisconsin a 30-22 lead at the intermission. Michigan State came out of the locker room with a renewed emphasis on defense, which spilled over to offense and created good transition looks. Harris made his first four points of the game on back-to-back dunks off of his own steals. By the midpoint of the second half, the Badgers were having trouble creating shots. From 13:17 to 6:31, the only points for Wisconsin came from freshman forward Nigel Hayes’ free throws. Hayes continued to display why he had been getting progressively more playing time, showing by far the most decisiveness
on the court for his team and reaching the foul line 12 times as a result. Hayes went on to finish with more minutes played than Kaminsky and one less than sophomore forward Sam Dekker. “The only other player I remember like Hayes, who used his body that way to get fouled is Steve Showalter, who played for me at [UW-] Platteville.” Ryan said. “Nigel’s pretty special. He’s really given us a big boost. He’s done things in his way where he just works.” Once Michigan State adjusted to Hayes, it was time for both teams to continuously exchange daggers and mistakes. Wisconsin came in to the fourminute mark clinging to a fourpoint lead. Senior guard Ben Brust
then widened the lead with a 3-pointer, his only of the afternoon. After that, the Spartans began grinding their offense out, getting points from Payne’s free throws and junior guard Travis Trice’s 3-pointer to pull within three. On the next possession, Jackson let Trice poke the ball out of his hand and compounded his mistake by fouling Trice while going for the lose ball. This eventually allowed Payne to narrow the lead to two with a single free throw. Kaminsky then immediately made his first three of the game to supposedly ice the game, leaving the Badgers up five with 29 seconds left. However, Harris quickly made a very long two. Brust was subsequently fouled and went to the line for a one-andone. It just wasn’t Brust’s night, as the 94.3 percent free throw shooter missed his first attempt and watched as the Spartans got the rebound and called timeout. A well executed play led to a Payne 3-point shot tying the game with 10 seconds left and quieting the crowd, but not for long. A week ago, the Badgers lost to Ohio State on a last-second miss. Given pretty much the same situation, Ryan stuck with his point guard. “His decision making has been a little sporadic at times, but in a last second situation, if it starts in his hands, I’m confident we’re going to get something,” Ryan said. “Doesn’t mean he has to end up taking the shot, but he was wide open.” After a drive to the left from Jackson, a pull-up jumper, a swish and a last-second heave from Trice, the Badgers’ season was back on track.

Wisconsin sweeps border rival and No. 1-ranked Minnesota By Adee Feiner THE DAILY CARDINAL
Perhaps the Badgers should consider adopting a new mantra for the season: There’s no place like home. After a rusty performance in Ann Arbor in which they failed to secure a win, Wisconsin (7-4-1 Big Ten, 16-8-2 overall) returned to the Kohl Center in spectacular fashion and proved they have no respect for conference hierarchy as they dismantled No. 1 Minnesota (8-2-2, 19-4-5), sweeping their Big Ten border rival. Thursday night the Badgers received more than just home ice again, as sophomore forward and offensive powerhouse Nic Kerdiles returned to the lineup after missing several games with a separated shoulder injury. “[Nic] was fresh and had a lots of energy for us,” head coach Mike Eaves said. “And it was fun to see him back out there again because he gives our team another level of offense.” Initially, it seemed like Wisconsin was overwhelmed by Minnesota’s fast and physical pace. The Gophers controlled the puck and speed of the game for much of the first period. A little over halfway in, Minnesota senior defenseman
Justin Holl headed to the penalty box for interference. Shortly after, senior defenseman Frankie Simonelli added one more element back into Wisconsin’s game they had sorely been missing: A power play goal. After struggling with the man advantage for several games, Simonelli broke through for the Badgers at just about over a minute and a half on their powerplay. “Anytime you get the first goal, it’s big,” Simonelli said postgame. “You know the power play has been struggling as of late, so that helps out as well.” Wisconsin’s celebrations wouldn’t last for too long, as Minnesota’s aggressive forecheck caused Badger defender Jake McCabe to turn over the puck to junior center Kyle Rau. He then gave it to left winger Taylor Cammarata who beat Wisconsin goaltender Joel Rumpel to give the Gophers the equalizer. The second period saw no goals but plenty of chances with both teams firing away at the opposing goaltenders who both seemed impenetrable. At just over a minute into the third period Rau had a chance to give the Gophers the lead on a breakaway. But Rumpel once again proved solid for Wisconsin
and turned the puck away. “We had a back checker on him pretty tight, and he was kind of on his hip on the left side there,” Rumpel said of Rau’s chance. “So I figured he had to go glove side on me, and I just kind of read the play.” At just over 13 minutes into the final period it was McCabe who broke through to give the Wisconsin the eventual gamewinner. The junior defenseman and Hobey Baker candidate took a pass from Soleway, stick handled in front of net and buried a wrist shot from the right circle. The goal gave the Badgers the 2-1 lead, and also gave McCabe a bit of redemption. “Actually, after the first [period], I sit next to [Rumpel] in the locker room and I said I owed him one,” McCabe said of the turnover. “It was definitely my fault, completely … so I guess to get him one back, actually, it felt good.” With that, Wisconsin earned their first victory of the series, 2-1. On Friday night, the largest crowd ever for hockey descended on the Kohl Center, and both teams hit the ice in similar fashion as they had on Thursday. Wilcox and Rumpel were both back between the pipes for their

However it was Wisconsin who controlled the pace from the opening face-off, not allowing Minnesota too many chances to clear the puck and tiring out their defenders. “We moved our legs, we won more races,” Eaves said after Friday night’s game. “We got really fine goaltending and some really timely goals.” With just 20 seconds remaining in the first period Nic Kerdiles attempted a shot that Wilcox blocked, and was knocked to the ice. But as he fell, he managed
to pass the puck to between a Gopher defender’s legs to freshman right winger Grant Besse who beat Wilcox for his seventh goal of the season. “It feels good,” Besse said. “It feels good to obviously beat the Gophers, but the bigger picture is that we got six points this weekend and we’re happy about that.” The physical game reached an all time high at the ten-minute mark of the second period when McCabe laid a huge check
