Board issues first draft of Diversity Plan By Emily Gerber THE DAILY CARDINAL

The Ad Hoc Diversity Planning Committee released the first draft for the University of WisconsinMadison’s Diversity Plan Feb. 18, outlining recommendations to foster a greater diversity presence on campus. The latest Diversity Plan installment was initiated in November 2012, as a means to continue efforts that originally spurred four years prior with Plan 2008. The previously outlined plan focused attention on increasing racial and ethnic diversity on campus. The draft includes an

updated definition of diversity, composed by the AHDPC, which encompasses commonly underrepresented groups of people. The definition includes, but does not limit, populations based on race, ethnicity, sex, gender, sexual orientation and socioeconomic status. The plan divides the recommendations for tackling diversity changes into two separate categories: the climate and culture of the campus and the surrounding area, and the accessibility community members will have to the

Members of the Vending Oversight Committee came to a unanimous agreement Wednesday on amendments to a late-night food-vending proposal that are expected to improve current licensing and spacing ordinances. The new amendments aim to provide late-night vendors with a greater number of vending sites throughout the downtown area to avoid concentration on North Broom Street, as well as more flexible licensing procedures. Steven Lawrence, owner of Fried & Fabulous, along with other late night food vendors including the owners of La Empanada and Curd Girl, urged committee members to consider an upgraded late night vending map with more locations to choose from. The new locations the committee agreed on to host ven-

dors include North Frances Street, University Avenue, North Broom Street and West Gilman Street. “It is an excellent way to go in that each vendor has an

crowded North Broom Street vending site. “The business isn’t there, the numbers don’t work,” he said. The Central District Captain of Police Carl Gloede provided an opinion on behalf of the Madison Police Department. Gloede said the changes would be considered a “work in progress” to see how the flow of pedestrians works with the late night food carts. However, Gloede found the new locations to be a “good alternative” for the vendors. The other major topic of discussion pertained to the licensing process for late-night food vendors, who requested the committee members make adjustments to the seniority system in place. Currently, the ordinance gives priority to those food cart owners who have the most seniority regardless of the time of day the license allows

The University of WisconsinMadison’s technology department presented a plan to change the campus email system from WiscMail to Microsoft Office 365 to the Associated Students of Madison Coordinating Council Wednesday. According to Chris Holsman, the Director of the Enterprise Internet Services at the Division of Information Technology, UW-Madison has an initiative called “administrative excellence” that tries to increase efficiency while cutting down costs on campus. Over a period of eight months, an Administrative Excellence team discussed how the campus could redesign its email system. After talking with students and staff as well as looking at surveys, the team decided that Microsoft Office 365 would be an overall better system, cutting half of the current email costs.

“All addresses that are @wisc.edu are going to be moved from WiscMail to Office 365, so that’s everybody.”

Wisconsin Court of Appeals releases 28,000 files linking Gov. Scott Walker to secret email feeds The Wisconsin Court of Appeals released more than 28,000 pages of documents relating to the John Doe investigation Wednesday, revealing evidence used to convict a former Milwaukee County employee in 2010 of campaigning on public time. Press representatives waited in line at the Appeals Court office Wednesday morning for

digital copies of affidavits, search warrants, hearing transcripts, court orders and emails used in the investigation, according to the Wisconsin State Journal. Investigators obtained the emails from the accounts of Kelly Rindfleisch, the former Deputy Chief of Staff of then-County Executive Scott Walker. Milwaukee County District

Attorney John Chisholm began the probe in 2010 to address concerns that Walker’s Milwaukee County Staff conducted campaign work on public time for Walker and Lt. Gov. candidate Brett Davis. Investigators have since accused Rindfleisch of four felony counts of misconduct in public office based on evidence released with the documents. Circuit

Court Judge David Hansher sentenced Rindfleisch to six months in jail and three years probation. The documents also revealed a hearing held the day before Walker’s 2010 election in which a judge granted prosecutors’ request to expand the investigation to include four additional aides of Walker, including Rindfleisch. Rindfleisch was

the only additional target to be charged and has filed to appeal her conviction. Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen and the Department of Justice requested the courts release these documents to the public last October over the objection of Rindfleisch, who voiced privacy concerns. —Andrew Hahn

Ald. Scott Resnick, District 8, hopes to provide Internet access throughout the city using new start-up technology. Resnick’s plan would alleviate those in low-income housing from the high prices of Wi-Fi and provide “high speed-no cost” Internet access for travelers and commuters, he said at an event on campus Monday.

“It’s a low-risk proposal with a lot of reward and I think that this could really revolutionize the game and improve this community.” Alex Holland founder Bipartisan Issues Group

Approximately a dozen students attended the event, which was hosted by the Bipartisan Issues Group, a political organization on campus, according to BIG founder and UW-Madison junior Alex Holland. Founded in 2012, BIG promotes collaboration on “collective action problems,” regardless of political party affiliation. UW-Madison is home to the original chapter, according to the organization’s website. “Why we chose Scott [for the discussion] is because he is spearheading this legislation that’s going to attempt to bring Internet into low-income houses at a real-

ly reduced price,” Holland said. Holland said he believes Resnick’s plan could bridge the divide in Internet access between more privileged citizens and those who live in lowincome areas. “Making sure we can have more access to the Internet is really important, and I think it’s really cool that we can highlight that,” Holland said. However, he added there is debate over whether or not the new technologies will be effective. Some of the plans include a potential Comcast-TimeWarner merger, as well as the use of Google Fiber, a new Google development. Google Fiber is significantly faster than any of the broadband today with the ability to download an entire movie in less than a minute, according to Holland. “I think the downside is that, if it doesn’t work, it’s $150,000 that’s potentially thrown down the drain,” Holland said. Still, Holland noted how highspeed has evolved over the past few years. “They’re able to turn this technology so that it’s really valuable and will be able to provide quick high-speed Internet, and affordable Internet at that,” he said. Holland said he looks forward to the future of the proposal. “It’s a low risk proposal with a lot of reward,” he said. “And I think that this could really revolutionize the game and really improve this community.”

Susan Happ to run for attorney general Jefferson County District Attorney Susan Happ announced Wednesday she will run for Wisconsin Attorney General in November 2014, according to a statement. Happ said she is running for attorney general because she cares about the future of Wisconsin and believes leaders should put the needs of Wisconsin families before partisan politics. Happ served as the Jefferson County District Attorney for the past six years. Susan Happ has the organizational skills and adheres to the highest standards of prac-

ticing law, Jefferson County Judge Jacqueline R. Erwin said in a statement. “We have seen Ms. Happ’s born-and-bred Wisconsin values first hand,” Erwin said. Happ served as a lawyer for the Hack family and convicted the murderer of Pat Hack’s brother. Members of the Hack family who joined Happ at her Wednesday press conference expressed confidence in her commitment to seek justice. “Susan treated our family with great compassion, and the criminal with great conviction,” Hack said at the press conference.

Director of Rec Sports John Horn outlines efforts being made in the Master Plan to improve sustainability.

Rec Sports Master Plan emphasizes sustainability Director of Recreational Sports John Horn assured Sustainability Committee members Wednesday environmental efforts will remain a priority in the Rec Sports Master Plan. Horn, as well as other Rec Sports representatives, presented sustainability aspects of the proposed Master Plan, assuring the achievement of a high environmental standard. “I can assure you, on record, that we will not be removing sustainability components from our plans in order to save costs,” Horn said. “They will be an investment in our plans 100 percent, I guarantee it.” Horn highlighted issues at the current recreational facilities that the Master Plan will aim to address, including water waste, air quality and faulty roofing. The Division of Recreational Sports compared recent remodeling efforts on campus when developing the

plan, according to Horn. Megan Holman, Interim Assistant Director of Facilities, said she worked to ensure the plan remains in line with green initiatives, citing the 68 percent energy savings in the Wisconsin Institute of Discovery. “We could even probably improve our energy savings more than that,” Holman said, after just looking at current sustainability efforts in the plan. Horn addressed inquiries of an environmental impact assessment being conducted on the proposal, saying that since no official plans have been approved yet, it would not make financial sense to issue the assessment. Horn said if the referendum is approved, an environmental evaluation will be conducted on the presented blueprints, and alterations will be made to the plan so that it remains sustainable. —Emily Gerber

DoIT representative Chris Holsman details the plan to transition to a new email system to ASM members Wednesday.

gained,” Holsman said. Holsman said the system change will transition in two phases, beginning with the transfer from WiscMail’s email and calendar to the new Microsoft Office 365’s equal counterparts. In the second phase, each student will receive SharePoint, OneDrive and Lync, different applications that aim to improve campus communication. “All addresses that are @wisc. edu are going to be moved from WiscMail to Office 365, so that’s everybody,” Holsman said. Members of Coordinating Council gave their opinions on some aspects concerning the transition. One topic they discussed was when DoIT should start the transition process

because there are over 60,000 students and staff currently using WiscMail and it will take a few months to finalize. Legislative Affairs Chair Morgan Rae suggested DoIT start with the incoming firstyear students, so that they can begin their first semester with the new system instead of becoming accustomed to the old system. Members also suggested DoIT start the transition in the summer. Holsman said he believes the earliest the students will start this transition will be in three to six months. “We are still in the forming stage, we’ve done a lot of the technical work, but how [we are] actually … going to implement this is still something that we are trying to sort through,” Holsman said.

Group looks to divide faculty position A working group that is examining the reorganization of the University of WisconsinMadison’s research and graduate education structure proposed a dual leadership plan and a finalized draft report to the University Committee Feb. 14. The committee’s primary recommendation included creating two separate positions: one for vice chancellor for research and

graduate education, and another for dean of the Graduate School. The group and the committee will present the draft during the Faculty Senate meeting March 3. The vice chancellor for research would report to Chancellor Rebecca Blank under the potential format, while the dean of the Graduate School would report to the vice chancellor for research and

graduate education. The report contends the structure will “preserve and enhance crucial strengths while enabling flexibility to respond to urgent new pressures and take advantage of emerging opportunities.” After the March 3 meeting, town hall meetings will be held to accept questions and possible revisions to the draft.

Green Bay legislators introduce private pension plan State Sen. David Hansen, D-Green Bay, and state Rep. Eric Genrich, D-Green Bay, introduced legislation Wednesday that would create a private pension plan for private workers, small businesses and farmers. The Wisconsin Private Secure Retirement Act would require a separate board to create a plan similar to the Wisconsin Retirement System, according to a statement.

Participants would fund the plan through small administrative fees. The funding would “take the form of a loan that would be paid back by the plan and participants through a small administrative fee,” Hansen said in an emailed response. Hansen said there are millions of Wisconsin residents who are not prepared for retirement. “There is a retirement crisis

in our country and Wisconsin is not immune,” Hansen said in the statement. Genrich said the bill would give Wisconsinites an opportunity to have a “safe and secure retirement option.” Although no Republicans have signed on, Hansen said he expects more support as the impact on government spending and taxes becomes more prevalent.

According to the draft, recommendations came largely from the “voices of UW-Madison and broader community.” In the past year, the university has held Diversity Forums and engagement sessions, where students, faculty and community members were able to voice insight on issues they believed should be addressed. A key recommendation made by the Ad Hoc Committee in terms of accessibility is having the university focus efforts on establishing a more effective means of recruiting and retaining diverse faculty and students, specifically those who have been historically ignored.

The committee members agreed to base seniority solely off of late-night food-vending licensing and not daytime licensing. Seniority allows vendors to select locations on a first-come, first-serve basis.

emphasized the draft language is not something permanent, but rather is a “living document” that can be altered based on the changing needs of the community. The AHDPC was formed in 1988 in a move to involve campus and community representatives in furthering the university’s efforts in establishing a diverse climate. The university issued Strategic Framework in guiding the diversity efforts, which focus on maintaining the virtues of the Wisconsin Idea that aims to incorporate all aspects of the state. After undergoing review by the shared government factions, the AHDPC is set to hold additional listening sessions with the community before working on and releasing a second draft of the plan in spring 2014. “It would be unfair to negotiate those spaces for a new late-night license holder that has seniority over a late night vendor that has been there longer,” committee member John Magnino said. “We want to promote stability among vendors, not usurp their space.” The late-night venders were pleased with the results of the Wednesday meeting. “I think this a step forward for the future of downtown,” Lawrence said.

Source of horrible stench is burrito long forgotten in sophomore’s backpack By Zachary Clark The Daily Cardinal

Courtney Kessler/the daily cardinal

Teacher’s Assistant Zachary Brown admirably ignored a violently loud fart during his Thursday discussion section. As the stench permeated the room, Brown stoically continued his instruction.

Noble TA refuses to acknowledge loud fart in science discussion By Brett Klinkner The Daily Cardinal

Despite an increasingly reddened face and blatantly obstructed train of thought, Weather & Climate T.A. and discussion leader Zachary Brown decided to act like the sudden, emphatic fart did not happen in his ongoing Thursday discussion. The thoroughly discourteous bodily function, which split the room’s serene ambience like a knife as it reverberated off the wooden seat of a desk, began deep and full before concluding in a high-pitched, questionsounding toot. Brown persevered through the thunderous flatulence,

whose source was clearly one of those obnoxious guys who sits in the back corner, resurfacing from the fart-wrought paralysis by transitioning his lesson past the laws of thermodynamics into the subtle nuances of fluid convection. In contrast to the majority of the class that jolted up from their laptop screens, heads swiveling in search of the gassy miscreant, the downright noble teacher’s assistant—undoubtedly familiar with the “whoever smell’t it, dealt it” rule—stuck to his guns in not addressing the social violation, enduring the possible shart very well, even when he caught a deep

whiff of it. A telepathic consensus was reached among the discussion students that the culprit was Dan, a guy who “definitely seems like a class farter,” alongside the sentiment: “C’mon, dude, we’re in fucking college here.” The acoustic and aromatic disruption officially came to a close as the students settled and Brown’s full consciousness returned, poetically similar to a storm system that has passed over a region and, at last, left its population at peace. At press time, sources confirmed that Dan had just dropped ass again.

This Thursday, after two weeks of speculation, UW-Madison sophomore Bud Beagsley discovered that the haunting body odor scent emanating from his person was actually the result of a forgotten burrito left in the middle pocket of his backpack for two weeks. The burrito, of which Beagsley consumed half on the first day of classes and then packed away, had slowly decayed, releasing an increasingly potent aroma that drove away fellow students, roommates and pedestrians alike. “I first started to notice a funny smell earlier last week, figured it was just my foot fungus coming back,” Beagsley said. “But then it got worse, I mean way worse. Like ‘the bathroom in Ingraham’ worse. It was kind of nice for a while; I always had plenty of space to myself. People would literally stay at least three feet away— so cool.” Reports also indicated that Beagsley’s roommate on the sixth floor of Witte had left campus last weekend and was staying with a friend off campus throughout the week. Apparently most residents of Witte did not notice the grow-

ing odor, though this is likely due to the freshman stank common to the Southeast dorms. Luckily, in the midst of a biology discussion, Beagsley was digging through his bag looking for a spare pencil when he discovered the foil-wrapped burrito corpse. While this did force an immediate evacuation of the Biochemistry Building, researchers were eager for the chance to examine such a decayed specimen. “What we discovered really blew us away. This multistage process of rot began with the breakdown of the meat particles. Then, two days later, the cheese and sour cream broke down. Another two days and the guacamole and salsa reached their own point of no return. What this translated into for Bud was a multi-layered schedule of odor release, intensifying with each passing hour. We’re just lucky he found it when he did; there’s no telling how potent that scent could have become,” said Dr. Raymond T. Snauzzer, an expert in the field of bacteria and decay. At press time, the burrito was under controlled observation in a secure government facility in Nevada.

UW Marching Band reminded not to share instruments at parties By Kane Kaiman The Daily Cardinal

University of WisconsinMadison Marching Band Director Michael Leckrone reminded the sickly members of his band Wednesday not to play one another’s instruments at their weekend parties. The band is notorious for its wild get-togethers, where “trumpets and clarinets are passed around with reckless abandon,” Leckrone said. Band members say it is hard to control themselves while under the influence of music. “Sometimes you just see someone’s flute sitting on a countertop or table and you can’t help yourself but play a little bit,” sophomore flautist Sharon Tiegs said. “Free music, right? Who on earth is going to turn that down?” Leckrone says he issued the reminder in an attempt to combat the spread of the illnesses that

have ravaged the marching band this year. After last weekend’s partying, it was estimated that nearly 80 percent of the band was sick. Almost half were unable to attend practice Monday and Tuesday. Some of the afflicted band members say they are taking Leckrone’s message to heart. “I just want to get back to practice,” freshman woodwind specialist Gary Hart said. “No more free notes for my friends when we’re pregaming. From now on, it’s B.Y.O.B.: bring your own bassoon.” However, others say the risk of sharing instruments is well worth it. “It’s all about experimenting with new instruments,” trumpeter James Halsey said. “But, I’m not going to go out and buy a new one every weekend. If I want to play a line of flute or hit a note on the clarinet, I’m going to ask my

friends who have them.” Toward the end of his speech Wednesday, Leckrone also warned the band about the dangers of leaving their instruments unattended. “Always keep an eye on your instrument!” Leckrone said. “You never know if some sicko is going to slip something into a valve or pour something onto your mouthpiece.” Leckrone says the UW Marching Band’s situation is not unique. “Bands all across the country have to deal with this problem every year,” Leckrone said. “Just look at what happened to Ohio State.” Last year, the Buckeye band decided not to travel to Miami to perform at the Orange Bowl after over half of the percussion section was killed by a meningitis outbreak traced back to one game of “Ear Gong.”

arts Zaramela talk origins and coming to Madison 6

Weekend, February 20-23, 2014

By Brian Weidy THE DAILY CARDINAL

When Zaramela formed in late 2011, they were just six (now seven) high school kids jamming together. With influences as varied as Alt-J to The Roots and a whole lot of everything in between, these Chicagoland musicians have quickly found both their sound and a following with Portillo’s Italian Beef close at hand.

“It’s really exciting to come up here to Madison.”

Kris Hansen Lead singer Zaramela

Lead singer Kris Hansen reflects upon how they originally formed thanks to Glenbrook South High School and a friend from down the road. “We originally got together because of high school jazz band, that was kind of how we sort of got to meet each other,” Hansen said. “Pretty much a week before the conception of

the band, we called Inho [Park] because he wanted to play bass with us and that was kind of the missing piece for us.” One contributing factor to the group’s success has been the ability to connect with the other bands in the growing and increasingly more inviting Chicago music scene. “Just from the past couple of months, what we’ve seen with Chicago music in general is this huge collaborative effort in the city right now just to come together as a musical collective,” Hansen said. “And to start to work together especially in the hip-hop community, there’s just a lot of outreach. A lot of bands and a lot of artists really want to start working with other bands and artists and that’s really cool. We’ve made a couple of relationships here in the city.” Bassist Jameson Brenner feels as if it is their role to help cultivate the scene for all of the bands within it to grow. “Basically, that’s what we spend our time in Chicago doing,” Brenner said. “If we’re not playing or making our own music, we’re going to other shows of other artists, supporting them, working with them

or building those relationships because that’s changing the Chicago scene and everyone realizes that if you help everyone else out, it’s only going to better yourself and make for your shows to be better.” Brenner also attributes this rise in collaborative spirit to the lack of a real label presence in Chicago as opposed to in New York or Los Angeles. “Everyone here that’s making it is nine times out of 10 going to be doing it on their own,” Brenner said. While the band has played Wisconsin before, this is the group’s first trip up to Madison. “We’ve played Milwaukee before, we’ve played The Rave— that was a whole lot of fun— but it’s really exciting to come up here to Madison,” Hansen said. Brenner then added, “I’ve got a whole lot of friends that go to school up there, so I’m really excited to see them and to check out what they’re doing and where they’re at.” The group is set to co-headline The Frequency Friday, Feb. 21. with Madison’s own Maffa Rico. They will also be joined by Marykate w/ Al Cheekz and The Art of Cool.

These are a couple of the characters Lucius ran into last time they were in Madison when they played Freakfest.

Lucius excited to play High Noon Saloon By Cheyenne Langkamp THE DAILY CARDINAL

The last time Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe came to Madison, they took a shot of Goldschlager with two guys dressed as milk cartons. It was last October and the Lucius front women were in town to play Freakfest. “We played the show and it was really fun,” Laessig told me in a recent interview. “It was freezing cold and I remember an endless sea of people in costumes.” The two will return to Madison Saturday for a show at the High Noon Saloon at 9:30 p.m. Laessig said those who might have missed their fall show could expect a fun time with a lot of energy. “The live show is our favorite part of doing what we do and connecting with the audience,” she said. “They can bet that we will want to interact with them and be part of the whole experience.” In fact, their live show has attracted some slightly unexpected fans. The New York Times columnist Paul Krugman wrote a rave review of one of their New York shows last December, in addition to the praise they’ve also received from other outlets like NPR. When asked about Krugman’s support, Laessig just laughed and says it’s “crazy.” “Like if someone asked how do you go about making Paul Krugman your fan… I don’t know how that happened,” she said. “But it’s great.” All giggles aside, Laessig said she’s thankful and excited the band’s live music is able to appeal to such a widespread crowd. But Lucius has plenty to offer inside the studio as well. Their debut album Wildewoman appeared in late October and is now set for a worldwide release this March. It’s full of steely ethereal tunes that highlight Laessig and Wolfe’s vocal capabilities.

Laessig said after singing with Wolfe for about nine years, the two met up with drummer and producer Dan Molad; they approached Wildewoman wanting to make something completely new. “We said let’s try to collaborate and be completely open-minded and see what happens,” Laessig said. “And we did and it ended up being really cool.” Having met Wolfe during their time studying at Berklee College of Music, Laessig said she encourages creative-minded students to build a community of peers who share their goals. “Build your community while you’re there, because those relationships really do last and carry over much longer than just the time you’re at school and can be so beneficial.” As for what’s next for the band after leaving Madison, Lucius’ll soon be headed to Europe and are looking forward to it. While they have a busy upcoming schedule, Laessig says she is also hoping they find some down time to get back to writing new material. “It’s hard to sit down and be creative all the time but certainly it’s part of [the job],” Laessig said. “Because when you do have time you’ve got a lot of information to sort through and a lot of stuff to say.” But right now Laessig says the band is enjoying its time on the road. What are they most looking forward to outside of Europe? Festival season. Lucius will be making appearances at Governors Ball and Firefly, among others. “We’re on the same lineups as some amazing acts, and I’m really looking forward to seeing them and having a blast,” Laessig said. “It’s gonna be wild.” I have a feeling those acts would say the same about seeing Lucius.

Marijuana legalization still a distant goal

n late January, state Rep. Melissa Sargent, D-Madison, introduced legislation that would legalize marijuana for medical and recreational use in Wisconsin. This board believes that while this bill would ultimately benefit Wisconsin, it unfortunately has little hope of passing. With the legalization of marijuana, the state stands to gain millions in tax revenue. These millions could be poured into programs like education to improve future outcomes for our state’s youth. But instead, we think it is more likely this legislation will not develop into anything more than a proposal, and the state will continue to funnel time and money into cracking down on arguably petty marijuana charges. Currently, only six co-sponsors have stepped forward and officially endorsed this legislation. Only one of these cosponsors is from the state Senate. Under the Republican-controlled Legislature, it is unlikely enough support will be fostered in order to pass the bill. Furthermore, while we support the ultimate end the passing of the bill would have, we question one of the focal arguments Sargent is using to gain support. She says the bill would help to close the racial disparity in the prison system. While we believe that any steps to close this gap are beneficial, legalizing marijuana

would hardly begin to do so. This argument seems like somewhat of a stretch, and using it as a means to meet the end of marijuana legalization somewhat takes advantage of an incredibly serious situation. Closing this disparity comes with education and action in homes, in schools and in the criminal justice system. Legalizing marijuana would barely scrape the surface of addressing such an evolved issue, and we hope the state takes actual steps to find a solution. Despite this criticism, we still believe the economic benefits the state would gain from passing this legislation would far outweigh any negative consequences some opponents speculate might come from it. Sargent recognizes the bill is unlikely to even be discussed in this legislative cycle. But she remains optimistic that it will at least open the discussion surrounding marijuana legalization in Wisconsin. While we mirror this sentiment, we remain frustrated that such an obviously beneficial bill

(from our perspective, at least) hardly stands a chance in our state’s tense political atmosphere. Do you think that marijuana should be legalized in Wisconsin? Is Wisconsin ready to join the likes of Washington and Colorado in ending the prohibition on marijuana? Tell us how you feel and please send all feedback to opinion@dailycardinal.com.

Sexual identification brings inaccurate classification SARA VINSON opinion columnist

n the last two weeks a well-known football player, Michael Sam, and an actress, Ellen Page came out as gay. This has inspired a lot of media attention, debate, support and criticism, and general focus on sexuality in relation to identity and ability. We should be less obsessed with sexual identity. It is becoming too complicated and it restricts our actions and others’ opinions of us. I fully support discovering one’s identity. Identity helps us shape who we are, what we do and where we go. Some of my identities include woman, progressive, and Harry Potter fanatic (or Potterhead). These are not really questioned. No one says I am not really a Potterhead because I’ve read other books. It is close-minded to assume, or sometimes even to question someone’s sexual identity. Believing you can look at someone and know without a doubt whom they want to date or have sex with sets you up to look ignorant. Unless someone states their sexual identity to themself, you shouldn’t give them one. The number of sexual identities is growing every year. Straight used to be our only acceptable option. Then gay and lesbian arose. Now we have transgender, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, and the list goes on and

on. We as humans like to group and categorize things. It makes it easier to understand our world. The truth is sexuality is so fluid and changing that identities should really only matter to the person using them, and identities certainly do not give restrictions to a person’s actions. Even if we don’t want others to classify us, we cannot help but classify ourselves sometimes. Sometimes we want a classification. Like I said, it helps define us. That does not mean we are trapped within the so-called rules of that identity. If a self-identified gay man wants to date a woman, he should not be met with comments like “I thought you were gay” from everyone he knows. If we are allowed to change the rules or make exceptions in our diets, our majors or our apartments, why not our sexual identities? Attraction is complex. It can be conditioned, it is very natural, and everyone experiences it a little differently. Sexuality is not a label you are handed at puberty and carry for life. It can change, you can change, and your mind can change. Not only can it change, but it is somewhere on a continuum. Even if you feel a consistent level of attraction to men and women—very little but occasional attraction for women and stronger perpetual attraction for men, as an example—your sexual attraction is still different from those around you. It is difficult for people to have no way to express things. We create words to describe our world as fully as possible. I think it would be for the greater good of all human beings to obsess less

over sexuality labels and put more effort into being open-minded. Question your sexuality. If you feel different or alone, a little research may bring you to a community of people you never knew existed. Asexuals, for instance, are a growing community brought together by the glory of the Internet. Do not be afraid to give yourself a label, and feel free to take someone else’s at face value, just put less stock in what an identity entails. You can also go without a label; I have been without one for years. Remember not to kick anyone out of your club. Sexuality is not a members-only institution. Under no circumstance is it ever acceptable to take anyone’s identity away from them. Some are quick to accuse others of not being “really” gay if they have had straight relationships in the past. The double standard screeches forward when you consider the fact that no one accuses a girl of only being somewhat straight because she kisses girls at parties. Sexuality is not something we can simplify. The more open-minded we become, the more variance arises in gender, and the more people inhabit this planet, the more we have to accept we cannot place everyone into one box or the other. We are not all gay or straight. We are traveling through life in a fast-changing society with the benefit of online communities that allow us to be and explore who we want to be, regardless of labels. How do you feel about gender, sexual orientation or racial labeling? Please send all feedback to opinion@dailycardinal.com.

Letter To The Editor

Chris Hoffman to run for County Board Supervisor By Chris Hoffman DANE COUNTY BOARD CANDIDATE

My name is Chris Hoffman and I’m running to be the District 5 County Board Supervisor because I want to represent your voice. County government offers opportunities for professional development and networking that are hugely underutilized by students. This is one of the primary reasons I am running: when elected, I will act as a liaison for students who want to further their involvement in local government. Increasing student involvement would be accomplished through student appointments to county committees and internships. Giving students these skill-building experiences is important for ensuring a long-lasting, strong connection between students and their county government. I understand the importance of utilizing the County committee system via my own appointment to the County Environmental Council. However, there is one pressing issue that I will address further: campus safety. Imagine you are in a friend’s apartment on a Friday night, perhaps one that is just off University Avenue, and he is hosting a party. Your night is going well, but then you notice that one of your friends is lying face-down on one of the couches. You’re not quite sure what to do. You roll him on his side to check his breathing, but you can’t hear anything. “I don’t want to call the police. I can’t get an underage,” says someone nearby. You could monitor him and hope for the best, but what happens if you decide to make the call and receive emergency medical attention? This situation is unfortunately all too common: a life at stake but there is indecision among the bystanders because they fear the consequences. Fortunately, I know of two policies that could improve student safety and even save lives. I made sure to testify alongside fellow student leaders at a hearing for Senate Bill 222 last week, which would provide amnesty for the caller and victim of alcohol poisoning in the aforementioned situation. By offering immunity, this policy would encourage students to make the right choice and get medical help for those who have overconsumed and whose life is at risk. Additionally, we need to ensure a rapid response from our emergency services. It has recently come to my attention that the county has been experiencing problems with their 911 Call Center after a spike in complaints following a software upgrade. The center has an average dispatch response of 3 minutes and 10 seconds compared to the national average of 1 minute. Furthermore, the City of Madison has threatened to sue the county if these issues are not addressed. Our current supervisor has ignored this public safety crisis and cries for reform. I will address these issues as your supervisor and strive to advance campus safety as it affects all of us. I have heard from students across the district how concerned they are for their safety and wellbeing. As your District 5 Supervisor, I will be an accessible advocate who would address issues that directly impact campus and our community. I hope to have your vote on April 1st. Chris Hoffman is a senior and candidate for Dane County Board District 5. He can be reached at CollegiatesforChris@gmail.com.

Deep Iowa roster looks to run on UW By Jack Baer THE DAILY CARDINAL

While not quite as shiny as their 16-0 undefeated start, the Badgers (8-5 Big Ten, 21-5 overall) will be traveling to Iowa City on quite a hot streak. After losing five of six games, Wisconsin has won its last four, two of them against ranked opponents, and could jump Iowa for third place in the Big Ten standings with a win Saturday. Anyone who watched the Hawkeyes’ trip to the Kohl Center, however, knows this won’t be easy. The Badgers went into halftime down 11, looking like a physically outmatched team. “In some ways the first 15 minutes reminded me a little bit of the Florida game that we had,” said sophomore forward Sam Dekker after the game. “We came out a little stagnant, didn’t know what looks to take and they really took us away from what we like to do offensively.” In the second half, Wisconsin

was able to inch back and cut the lead to two, at which point things got memorable. Iowa head coach Fran McCaffery went berserk over a foul call, drawing two technicals. From there, it was just another strong Badger showing. However, the fact remains that the first half showed a real weakness for the Badgers, and this Iowa team remains one that looks like it was designed to beat UW. “They’re long and bouncy,” head coach Bo Ryan said. “They’ve got a lot of guys that fit into that category. And they are aggressive to the glass. They’re very deep.” Iowa will likely field a starting lineup that is taller at every position than Wisconsin. The Hawkeyes also have 11 different players averaging more than 10 minutes per game played. By contrast, the Badgers have seven. In its losses, and quite a few of its wins, Wisconsin struggled with rebounding and scoring in the paint. This will likely not change, given the

Hawkeyes rank third nationally in rebounds per game and ninth in points per game. This abundance of points comes from a lot of sources. Eight different Iowa players average between five and 10 points per game. Both teams had almost a week off to prepare for this game. While the Badgers’ time off was scheduled, a minor collapse in Indiana’s Assembly Hall caused the IowaIndiana game scheduled Tuesday to be postponed. This could present a problem for UW, considering the Hawkeyes like to play as fast anyone in the country, and they’ll be getting extra rest. All this amounts to a tall order for the Badgers, especially considering they will be the road team this time around. “I don’t see our guys going on the road and not feeling that they can get it done,” Ryan said. “So it’s a state of mind. It’s how you prepare. And if you believe, then you have a chance.”

Badgers search for rhythm on the road By Zach Rastall THE DAILY CARDINAL

Coming off a disappointing weekend against top-ranked Minnesota, No. 2 Wisconsin is looking to get back on track before heading into the WCHA conference tournament. To do so, it will have to go on the road and take on a Minnesota State team coming off a shocking road sweep of No. 4 North Dakota. The two teams met once already this season in early October. The Badgers (19-5-2 WCHA, 23-5-2 overall) earned a dominating home sweep against the Mavericks (7-18-1, 12-19-1). But despite its success against Minnesota State already this season, UW knows the team it faces this weekend will be much improved from the one it faced in the early stages of the season. “We haven’t seen [Minnesota State] in awhile. They’re healthy now and coming off a big weekend sweep in North Dakota,” UW head coach Mark Johnson said. “It’ll be senior weekend for them, so I’m sure there will be a lot of emotions tied to it.” Unlike the Badgers, who are the second-least penalized team in the country, the Mavericks tend to

find themselves in the penalty box more than a few times per contest. Minnesota State ranks sixth nationally in penalty minutes, averaging 11.5 minutes per game, with the fifth-worst penalty kill percentage in the country at 77.7 percent. Despite their penalty kill unit’s struggles this season, the Mavericks managed to step up big last weekend against North Dakota, allowing just one power play goal in seven opportunities over the course of the two games. “We haven’t played them in a while, but from what I heard, they did a good job killing penalties last weekend,” senior forward Madison Packer said. “They’re a quick team, they have a good power play, and they’ve got a couple offensive threats that we have to be aware of.” The Mavericks have five different players that have recorded at least 20 points this season, with senior forward Nicole Germaine leading the way with 24. “A team like Minnesota State, they’re a hard-working team,” senior goaltender Alex Rigsby said. “They’re not going to make it easy for us.” As for the Badgers, while

they’re looking to move forward from a disappointing series against the Gophers, they still want to make sure they’ve learned from the losses. “We know [losing to Minnesota] is rough, but we have to learn from it,” Packer said. “We can’t play like that and expect to win games.” Though the Minnesota series was a rough one for UW, the Badgers also understand they still have an excellent hockey team with some superb players. Despite letting in seven goals against the Gophers, Rigsby still ranks fourth nationally in goalsagainst average (1.22) and save percentage (0.948). While Wisconsin may have lost some momentum after being swept, it is still securely in second in the WCHA standings. The Badgers also realize, however, that it is vital for them to gain back some momentum heading into postseason play. “The focus has to be Friday night and coming out and continuing to grow as a team,” Johnson said. “It’s irrelevant to who you’re playing and where you’re playing at; you have to continue to do things that give you a chance to win.”

After a strong showing Sunday against No. 11 Penn State that turned into a tough 78-68 loss, Wisconsin (3-10 Big Ten, 10-15 overall) is hoping to finally will its way to a win against No. 23 Michigan State (9-3, 17-8) Thursday at the Kohl Center for Student Organization Night. “I tell them every game—we have enough to win,” head coach Bobbie Kelsey said. “But we have to put it all together.” The Badgers undoubtedly put up a fight against a top team in Penn State Sunday, but could not maintain a lead and ultimately allowed the Lions to dominate the end of the game. “We lost a tough one to Penn State this last week here,” Kelsey said. “To play the 11th-ranked team in the country, we had an opportunity to do something really special, but we just couldn’t close it out.” Wisconsin took on the Spartans just a few weeks ago on the road in East Lansing, with MSU nearly beating out the Badgers 71-67. Although UW trailed for the entire game after the Spartans started off with a 9-0 run, Wisconsin consistently chipped away at the lead,

coming within as few as two points late in the first half. The game marks a special opportunity for the Badgers to show their worth before the rapidly dwindling season ends. It also marks a special occasion for senior guard Morgan Paige, who has been an invaluable asset this season—her 100th straight game for Wisconsin. “She doesn’t play perfect games, but I can always depend on her to play hard. She’ll make mistakes here and there ... but you can appreciate the passion she plays with and the toughness that she plays with,” Kelsey said. “She knows we need her. And she steps up every time.” A win Thursday would be a big statement for Wisconsin, who lost eight of its last nine games, and Kelsey is hopeful that the team will be able to pull through. “Every win is a big win for us, but when you’re playing against the top of the league, you want to have that statement, signature game that you can build upon,” Kelsey said. “I think the kids are itching for a win. We all are. And being close is nice, but you want to get—you just got to turn the page and turn the corner and take it.”
