The gender disparity in Madison’s shelters Statistics show more space proportionately available to single men By Samy Moskol The Daily Cardinal
One morning this winter, John, a resident at Porchlight’s Drop-in Shelter for men, was outside when a woman came walking down the alleyway headed straight for the back door. He said she had likely been outside all night long, and wanted something for breakfast. “I couldn’t let her in. It’s a men’s shelter,” John said. “She didn’t make the lottery.” In years past, women would line up hours before the Salvation Army single women’s shelter opened each evening at 5 p.m., pushing and shoving for a better shot at a bed that night. Last year the Salvation Army switched to a lottery system to more fairly decide which 30 women would be sheltered each night. “Everyone does have that equal opportunity to get a bed … whether you’re 72 or 18, whether you are in a wheelchair or can walk,” said Karen Potnek, the housing coordinator at Salvation Army. In Dane County more resources are dedicated to sheltering single men and members of families than women because they make up a majority of
the homeless population. Although single women made up 16 percent of people seeking shelter in 2011, emergency shelter beds at Salvation Army’s Single Women’s Shelter only compromised seven percent of total beds for emergency shelter in Dane County in 2011 and 2012. Single men find themselves in a better position. These men comprised 41 percent of people seeking shelter in 2011, when 39 percent of emergency shelter beds were set aside for them. While the 2012 data detailing homeless seeking shelter has not yet been released, available beds for single men increased to 45 percent after a new overflow shelter was built in fall 2011.
“... the women’s shelter system hasn’t got that [overflow] capacity at this point ... It’s just never been built. It’s one of those gaps in the system.” Lynn Green director Dane County Department of Human Services

The lengthy John Doe investigation officially came to a close Feb. 21 with no charges filed against Gov. Scott Walker, according to a release Friday from Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm. The investigation, which began in May 2010, led to six people formerly associated with Walker from his days as the Milwaukee County Executive getting charged for crimes ranging from illegal campaigning to embezzling a veterans’ fund. Three of the people charged were former Milwaukee County employees, according to the release. Walker frequently dealt with criticism from his opponents while the investigation was still open. Several Democratic leaders in the state said the governor was as guilty as the people who were charged. They also criticized Walker after he hired and maintained a two-lawyer criminal defense team for the investigation. Walker said the lawyers were only retained to assist him
with the investigation and did not indicate any guilt. State Democrats have continued to criticize Walker even after he was cleared in the investigation. State Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca, D-Kenosha, said that Walker needed to apologize to the citizens of Wisconsin for the criminal activity that happened on his watch. “Now Gov. Walker must address these problems and let the people of Wisconsin know how he will prevent illegal activity that happened in his offices from happening again,” Barca said in the statement. “He also must pledge to do better for our citizens in the future.” Walker released a statement addressing the John Doe closure Friday in which he said he was happy with how the investigation, which he initially asked the District Attorney to pursue, turned out. “We appreciate the effort that was undertaken and to bring appropriate matters to justice,” Walker said in the statement.
“…the great state University of Wisconsin should ever encourage that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found.”

Cunnilingus: your partner’s pussy and you, part II
News and Editorial
tODAY: snowy
Alex Tucker sex columnist
S
o, last week we learned the basics of the vulva, including the details about our prime target of tonguing, the clitoris. But let’s not forget all of those other pleasure places all over the vulva and the pelvic region in general! A female body is chock-full of nerveendings near the goodie bits; share the love all over! And remember, similar to other body parts, the vulva wants to do some warm-up activities before it gets played with. Foreplay for head can be as creative or simple as we want; we can kiss our partner’s belly and work our way down to their fun zone with our mouths. We can mouth their vulva while they still have some clothing on and can even pull their panties down with our teeth for extra sexy points. Once they’re feeling heated up, it’s time to get started. When in doubt, let’s utilize our kindergarten knowledge of the alphabet. Tracing the ABCs with our tongue can help us figure out which letters and motions our partner enjoys best! Once we figure out which movements get the best response out of our partner, we’ll know which ones to repeat for maximal pleasure. Remember not to worry too much about the letters and instead just focus on which motions make our partner feel
their very best. Another technique to work into your routine is humming on your partners pussy to create a vibration they might really enjoy! You can rev up the heat and intimacy by making eye contact with your lady while you give her a tongue lashing. And remember your tongue movements! Vary speed from really quick to slow and forceful. You can even nip your partner’s clit with your teeth as long as you discuss it first. If she likes the sensation of teeth but is not into biting, sucking the area and clitoris can create a similar feeling down under. Want to give your marvelous miss an experience she won’t forget? Try multitasking: Maybe you’re going to town on her clit and vulva, but at the same time, remember your skill set! Recall, if you will, the “come-hither” finger move that can target the ol’ G-spot so effectively. Double task with that move and your partner may just explode with pleasure. Remember, dear readers, there are a variety of positions available for cunnilingus that each provide benefits we may not have considered. The basic position of both partners lying down, the licker on their tummy and the lickee on their back, can allow for that added hand exploration we discussed above. A doggie-style eat out is perfect for partners who like to switch from sex to head back to sex because the insertive partner can simply pull out, bend over and go a’licking without any extra maneuvering. That position is also best for cunni-
to-annilingus motion, in which the “eater” licks all the way from the clit to the anus. Queening is a position in which the receptive partner literally sits on their partners face. This configuration allows the partner on top to be dominant and in control. It also allows that partner better access to the body of the partner on bottom. The queen can reach back and play with their partner’s private parts while having her way with their mouth. Like all things, some people
are uncomfortable allowing their partners down into their nether-regions. Although some pairs agree to exclude munching bush from their romping regimen, just as many “givers” as “receivers” claim to derive pleasure from the activity. As in any sexual activity, enthusiasm is half of the battle (of the bulge. Ha). The more you put into your efforts, the larger the reward. Have a question for the Birdie? Email Alex at sex@ dailycardinal.com for all of the juiciest answers!

What would Buddha do? A guide to the 80 By Morgan Haefner Guest columnist
B
uddha is an optimist. He sees life as flowery when it isn’t, and there is something to be said about this outlook on life. To see if the benefits were worth it, I vowed to find out while riding the 80. This is my first tale of braving the world as someone I’m not: an optimist. There were multiple times this week when I found myself waiting for the Madison Metro to salvage me. I say salvage because at the point when that monster of a bus finally arrives at my stop, my legs are ice and have lost the ability to function. While I sit criticizing how my salvation comes in the form of sand mush and smelly seats, I notice the bus driver is awfully happy for such a dreary day. And as I roll along Observatory, I enter
into a place I rarely venture; an optimistic, alternate reality where riding the 80 isn’t all that bad... In that daydream, I take my relentless hatred of winter and flip it into a tender love for all things that stiffen my nose hairs. I inhale deeply at the bus stop—Ahhh, my Five Guy’s dinner freezes mid-digestion. I find this extremely helpful. It will extend the time between the first belch and Pepto Bismol. I smile at the prospect. Checking my phone only widens my smile. For some reason, I have “scheduled time” for the 80’s route clicked instead of “real time.” What was going to be a three-minute wait will now be extended nine minutes. This totals 12 minutes I’ll spend in the glass bungalow… or, more adequately stated, 12 whole minutes
of conversation with the bundled up student sitting in the corner. What compelling ideas lie in the crevices of his mind? What will I learn from the endeavors of his own nightly bus rides homes? I sit down in anticipation. According to Allen, he has ridden State Street 527 times in his college career. His topranked shop is Re Threads, and I don’t question this, I just let it be. I picture him in cowboy boots and a fashion scarf—Yep, he can pull it off like a boss. Allen also brags how he is on a first-name basis with every employee at Jamba Juice. I open my mouth in awe. What a feat. All of a sudden the gorgeous, old-school 80 rolls up. It’s my favorite model. Someone up there must have been looking down on me, blessing me with
wood paneling and multi-colored seats. I wish Allen a safe trip home and climb aboard. The bus driver and I exchange our hellos. All I wanted to do was pat that belly he was sprouting. It was going to be a great ride, on that 80 going nowhere. STOP REQUEST. Goodbye daydream, hello Elm and Observatory. Back to reality. Back to pessimism central, where the 80 still smells like the aftermath of a Chipotle dinner. I step off with the herd of students, arms crossed and head bowed to block the needle-sharp wind. But the needles couldn’t poke that stupid smile off my face. I just couldn’t believe how enjoyable that bus ride had been with a little bit of optimism. Share your 80 experiences with Morgan by emailing mhaefner@wisc.edu.

homelessness from page 1 Ibrahim—a case manager at Porchlight Inc., who worked at the women’s shelter until October 2012—said she once had to turn away 12 women in a single night. With 30 beds, it is the only emergency single women’s shelter in Dane County excluding Domestic Abuse Intervention Services which provides shelter to domestic abuse victims, some of which are single women. Ibrahim often turned away someone each night, especially in summer when more single women tend to seek emergency shelter. “All we can do is say no,” Potnek said. “This is their last resort.” Members of families, defined as an adult with a minor dependent, made up 42 percent of Dane County’s homeless population in 2011, according to the City of Madison’s Annual Report on Homeless Served in Dane County. Although homeless families have to wait for spots at Salvation Army Family Shelter and Young Women’s Christian Association, they can stay for up to three months upon being accepted. In addition, Salvation Army runs an overflow shelter that can shelter 16 members of families. The Road Home Interfaith Hospitality Network Shelter Program also provides emergency housing for families. There are around 120 beds nightly for members of families in Dane County in addition to Salvation Army’s hotel vouchers as of 2012, and accounted for 34 percent of total beds for emergency shelter. Salvation Army only allows more than 30 patrons inside on “cold weather nights,” when it is either below 21 degrees or considered too dangerous to be outside. In these circumstances, Salvation Army increases its staff to accept whoever needs shelter, recently up to 42 women. It uses the hallway as makeshift overflow space. Salvation Army uses the lottery sparingly in winter because there are more cold weather nights and fewer women tend to seek shelter in winter, which Ibrahim speculates is because they arrange longerterm plans with friends or family. In contrast, Porchlight does not deny anyone a spot during the winter months even during non- “cold weather nights.” Men at Porchlight are allotted 60 days out of the year with the count starting Nov 1. On nights under 20 degrees, which Porchlight considers cold weather nights, they accept every man who needs shelter, including those who are otherwise banned for behavioral reasons. Although Porchlight can technically
turn a man away if it is over 20 degrees and he has used up his 60 days, Preston Patterson, the shelter’s manager, said the shelter considers November through daylight saving time a “grace period,” during which occupants’ nights do not count. “Imagine us kicking people out in the cold,” Patterson said. Porchlight’s main shelter at Grace Episcopal Church has 110 beds. With both a permanent and seasonal overflow shelter at two area churches, it has upward of 170 beds during winter.
“Women have not necessarily more issues but maybe more volatile issues going on in their life about why they’re homeless.” Karen Potnek housing coordinator Salvation Army
Porchlight has served more than 180 men on its busiest winter nights. It has not had to limit the number of men it accepts because they have the physical space necessary, unlike Salvation Army’s Single Women’s Shelter, according to Lynn Green, director of the county’s Department of Human Services. “If we had churches that were willing to open up to [single] women … we would be able to send them to those overflow shelters,” Green said. “But the women’s shelter system hasn’t got that capacity at this point … It’s just never been built. It’s one of those gaps in the system.” Rising Demands Each year, during a January night, community programs count the homeless population as part of a program funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. This January, volunteers counted 817 homeless individuals in Dane County, 718 sheltered and 99 unsheltered. The number has steadily risen each year since 2010, when volunteers counted 568 homeless individuals. As demand for drop-in shelter rises, so do the costs to run them. But city and county funding for Salvation Army’s three shelters has remained nearly stagnant since 2010. Salvation Army received around $866,000 in total funding from the government for its three shelters during the 2012 fiscal year. It received more from the state in 2013, but still less than it was receiving in
2010. Salvation Army received $628,000 in private donations for its housing services. John, who did not give his last name, was a resident of Dodge County when he became homeless. He had to look elsewhere for emergency shelter because there are no emergency shelters in Dodge County that house single men. He turned to Madison after hearing he would not be turned away, and has been at Porchlight’s shelter since the end of September. He said he is thankful to be at the shelter, but as spring creeps up, his 60-day limit may as well. Extensions are occasionally granted, but are limited. “The obstacles I’m facing to get out of here are going to take longer than 60 days,” John said. “Once I don’t have a place to sleep or a guaranteed meal it’s going to [make] getting off the street damn near impossible for me.” Single women at Salvation Army’s shelter are allotted 60 days out of the year beginning the first day they arrive, provided they meet with one of the two case managers on-site. Extensions are only granted if clients have signed a lease for an apartment and are waiting for move-in day. “We have to put a line somewhere to go ahead and help those next thirty,” Potnek said. Although hard to quantify, homeless single women, with potentially more history of domestic abuse, may come to the shelter facing deeper challenges to overcome homelessness than their male counterparts. “Women have not necessarily more issues but maybe more volatile issues going on in their life about why they’re homeless,” Potnek said. “Their needs are so different.” Potnek said more intense assistance for less people would better help transition clients out of emergency shelters and into transitional housing programs, which she said is one of the shelter’s goals. While the men’s Drop-In Shelter does not have case management onsite, Porchlight provides transportation to its other locations where case management services are. John was assigned a case manager when he arrived in Madison, but has not met her in person. Patterson explained that each section of Porchlight serves a specific function. “This portion of Porchlight is not geared towards getting you housing,” Patterson said. “This is a place to sleep. You wake up in the morning and go to a different portion of Porchlight and they will help you … We are limited to what we can do with what we have but it is there nonetheless. It may not be here at the shelter but during the daytime, if you want help it is there.” Transitional Housing Waiting lists at times are months long for supportive permanent housing and transitional housing, which has two-year limits. These apartments are often subsidized by the government to maintain low rent, and include such apartments as Porchlight’s single-room-occupancy units on North Brooks Street which are efficiencies with shared bathrooms. Dane County had 322 beds in transitional housing units and 1,017 beds in supportive permanent housing units as of January 2013, numbers Potnek would like to increase. She considers more affordable housing options in Dane County a step toward solving homelessness. “More shelter isn’t the answer,” Potnek said. “I would be happy to lose my job because we don’t need shelter anymore. I would be ecstatic.” Mayor Paul Soglin said the city recently helped fund a newly opened single-roomoccupancy unit on the east side and is looking to fund another one. He said single men have more emergency shelter space than single women in Madison partly because homelessness of single men is a more visible problem, but that could change with more available affordable housing. “[The disparity] is going to be solved not by more temporary shelter space, but by more permanent housing,” Soglin said. “That’s the solution.”

Officer who fatally shot man faced 15 previous allegations The Madison Police Department has reviewed 15 different complaints about an officer currently under investigation by the United States Department of Justice since hiring him in 1997, according to police records released Friday. Officer Stephen Heimsness is presently on paid administrative leave for the duration of the federal investigation into whether or not his actions in a fatal altercation with a burglary suspect last fall were legally justified. Heimsness claimed he was in fear for his life when he shot Paul Heenan Nov. 9 after an intoxicated Heenan mistakenly entered his neighbors’ house, prompting them to call the police. A toxicology report shows Heenan had a blood alcohol level of 0.208 at the time of the shooting and, according to other records, Heenan’s friend Tom Anderson told detectives Heenan had a substance abuse problem but was not a violent person. MDP investigators and the Dane County district attorney ruled Heimsness acted reasonably in the incident, but an outcry from the community and the Heenan family inspired the U.S. Justice Department to take up the case. Since joining the force, HEIMSNESS Heimsness has been accused of “excessive force” eight times. He was found guilty in one, exonerated in one and the six remaining complaints returned a “no finding” verdict, meaning the the complaint’s author either filed it after the 90-day deadline, withdrew the complaint or refused to cooperate with the investigation. According to the records released Friday, Heimsness was suspended for 15 days in July 2001 after being found guilty of using excessive force and was required to attend a training session about “deadly force decision making.” The remaining seven allegations include the use of offensive language and “tyrannical conduct.” —Melissa Howison
Police say driver and pedestrian at fault for accident Police are holding a drunk driver and a pedestrian responsible for an accident that occurred near campus early Sunday, according to Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4. Verveer said an intoxicated, college-age woman abruptly entered the intersection of North Broom Street and West Johnson Street at approximately 1:43 a.m. when she was struck by a drunk driver. A nearby security guard who witnessed the accident called the police and the woman was transported to an area hospital. “This is a tragic incident and I hope the pedestrian is OK,” Verveer said. “At least it’s a relief the injuries are not life threatening. The driver is being charged for operating while intoxicated and police also cited the pedestrian for “sudden pedestrian movement.” Verveer said he is currently unsure of the driver’s age or gender and whether or not the pedestrian is enrolled at the University of Wisconsin.

‘Jack’ isn’t quite a giant of a film FILM REVIEW “Jack the Giant Slayer” Directed by Bryan Singer By Kailee Andrews The Daily Cardinal
Coming at us amidst a slew of Hollywood fairytale retellings, Bryan Singer’s “Jack the Giant Slayer” stands as an above average achievement in a mediocre trend. To put it in context, it’s at roughly the same quality as the CGI-extravaganzas that were “Alice in Wonderland” and “Snow White and the Huntsman.” However, it could be argued that it boasts more appealing leads and more effective storytelling than other recent storybook-based blockbusters. For a kid-friendly fantasy, the cast is surprisingly distinguished and they work admirably to elevate the script. Nicholas Hoult is sympathetic as the earnest and noble farm boy Jack; Ewan McGregor charms as Elmont, the charismatic and self-sacrificing captain of the royal guard; Stanley Tucci is appropriately smug as the king’s power-hungry advisor Roderick who is also engaged to the princess Isabelle; and newcomer Eleanor Tomlinson who does a fine job as the adventure-seeking princess and the only major female character in this beanstalk fest of a film. The only real weak link is Ewen Bremner as Wicke, an assistant to Roderick. Wicke is a character not unlike Jar Jar Binks in that his role is solely to make confused faces and useless comments in the background in that hope that they will appeal to the sensibilities of tween boys. But enough about the players, let’s discuss the material they’ve got to work with. In this version of the story, Jack is 18 years old and working on a farm. He’s fond of stories, particularly those about the kingdom of giants that lies between heaven and Earth. Through these stories we learn that, long ago, King Eric forged a crown that gave him control of the giants and allowed him to sever the connections between their realm and Earth. The giants vowed if they ever returned, their first objective would be to eat any living descendants of his, meaning our heroine Isabelle is threatened. However, this magical crown was buried with him and the stories are now believed to be legend. The opening of the film succeeds at building up suspense with some serious dramatic rhyme reading by the children’s parents. There should be more ominous rhyming in films. I mean seriously—“The Hobbit’s” trailer with the “Misty Mountains” song, “Game of
Thrones” with “Rains of Castamere”— rhyming/extra-slow poetic singing is in right now and I am all for it. Early in the film, it appears the princess Isabelle is being built up to be a lead character with a journey parallel to Jack’s. This is a nice touch as it is generally male characters that must undertake a journey towards understanding their role as prince/ hero/chosen one. Sadly, this promise is never fulfilled. Isabelle gets to wear some snazzy golden armor and ride a horse, but she never really receives the adventure she craves. In the end, despite the attempt to be more progressive by the filmmakers, she’s still a damsel in distress. Our story really begins when Jack’s uncle asks him to sell their horse in the city of Cloister, the capital of the kingdom (the name is an obvious reference to the “cloistered” life of princess Isabelle). While there, he runs into the princess in disguise at a public play and tries to protect her from some thugs who start accosting her before the royal guards turn up and whisk her away. Later, he acquires the story’s signature magic beans when a monk, attempting to escape with them as part of a plot to usurp the king, hands them over in exchange for Jack’s horse in order to avoid losing them if he’s caught. Jack returns home empty-handed on a rainy night just as the princess is running away from home due to frustration over her marriage to an older man. And, of course, she turns up at his shack seeking shelter. They begin to bond but are rudely interrupted by the eruption of a giant beanstalk beneath their feet, which lifts the house thousands of feet into the air, snaring Isabelle within it (though Jack manages to escape). Thus, a team consisting of Jack, some royal guards and the scheming Roderick must brave the beanstalk and rescue the princess from the clutches of the giants, motivating the rest of the film’s action. Overall, “Jack the Giant Slayer” is a good but unmemorable film with decent effects, some strong acting, and a traditional good versus evil plotline. Its existence never feels quite justified, but I’d defend it on the basis that it will likely bring joy to many children. In my own showing I heard the adorable statement, “that movie was really good mom, when can we see it again?” from a young boy. So as nitpicky as critics can be, I can’t begrudge this film too much for being as by the numbers as it is, as long as its getting that sort of reaction. But for college students, I’d say don’t make any trips to the theater too soon, unless it’s to check out the Oscar nominees.

Starting from the bottom with Drake’s latest video By Grey Satterfield Guest Columnist
What’s the best way to celebrate a Grammy for rap album of the year? Drop a video about how successful you are. Obviously. Drake’s “Started From the Bottom” is one of the more ridiculous videos I’ve seen in a while— including a whole minute of it that has absolutely nothing to do with the song. In this column, hopefully the first of many, we’ll be going through the new video second-by-second, frame-byframe, picking out all the most absurd and incredible moments and highlighting them one by one. But enough from me. Roll the tape. 0:08 — Drake’s younger self was born to be a soccer star. Also his team appears to be using some variation of the ‘Flying V.’ Take that, “Mighty Ducks.” 0:12 — Baby Drake just drilled in a goal. He looks like Messi, Ronaldo and Pele rolled into one incredible, 8-yearold soccer prodigy. Brazil 2014, look out, Drake is coming. 0:13 — Ghost ride the whip! 0:20 — That snow is fake, snow doesn’t fall up. Except in the wind tunnel between Bascom and Social Sciences. That shit is wild. 0:32 — Drake works at CVS! 0:37 — That’s not Drake’s mom! Or is it, and Drake’s mom in “The Motto” video is not? I’m so confused! Does Drake have two moms? Was one kidnapped by the other? Answer me! 0:40 — Drake: Night Manager. 0:40 — Congrats on the promotion Drake, I’m sure you worked really hard to earn it. That raise to 9$ an hour can certainly afford the Bentley convertible that you have in the parallel universe of upside down snow. 0:56 — Cut the music… best part of the vid—“Staaaaaaahrted frommm the boooohtom”—god, I love it. You comb that beard while you sing to your heart’s content. That reminds me, billion-dollar idea here. Make Take Care an opera. If Bieber can re-release albums in an acoustic flavor, why can’t Drizzy do so in a choral setting? I mean, at least R. Kelley would be on board. 1:00 — Three big packs of Trojans— whatever floats your boat. However, if
you need to buy that many might I recommend Costco. Unless now Drake is a night manager he issued roll-back pricing on magnums. Can I get a price check on these? 1:10 — Quote of video: “Oh my b-osh,” when boobs are large enough to say oh my gosh except all you’re thinking of is the boobs… boobs… boobs… . Gosh, boobs + gosh = Bosh! 1:26 — “I still think you’re straight Gor-gee.” Totally using that pick line next weekend. Look out madison! 1:38 — “Yo man your girl friend is on the phone. Man, she seems super pregnant.” Wow! This exchange is just dynamite, I’ve completely forgotten how there’s an actual music video going on… . 1:49 — “You look just like my ex girlfriend. She died last week… she didn’t die.” Another quality pick up line brought to you by the good folks at Drake’s CVS. 2:04 — Back to the music. Confetti has now invaded Drake’s CVS.

opinion In depth look at teaching intelligent design dailycardinal.com
tom jensen religion columnist
L
ast week I covered the intersection of religion and science, and concluded that in many cases religion answers “why?” questions while science answers “how?” questions. I also highlighted a problem: Sometimes religion’s answers will extend beyond the why and into the how, for example the creation story in Genesis explaining how the Earth was made. This will cause some devoted practitioners who prefer the religious answers to find themselves at odds with many in the scientific community. This is okay, provided both sides understand the reasons behind this divide and keep the discussion intellectual and mature. Finally, I briefly discussed one specific problem with this conclusion: how we should approach intelligent design and evolution in public schools. The impulse to teach intelligent design alongside evolution will be the topic of today’s article, and I will spoil the end by telling readers I do not think we should. But, as LeVar Burton was accustomed to say, “You don’t have to take my word for it.” Instead, I will outline my arguments for not completely interpreting the Bible literally and then show how this nonliteral view removes the Bible from scientific discussion without destroying its spiritual legitimacy. From there, as always, it
is up to the reader to evaluate what I have said and decide for themselves, especially if they find themselves on the side of the literalists.
Leave the how to the science teachers and the why to the religion teachers.
The first thing to understand is, as I said last week, there are many degrees of biblical literalism. Rather than outline them all and explain how interpreting the Bible should not be done, I will outline my view of the one way it should be. I agree with the Roman Catholic Church’s view on the interpretation of the Bible as infallible only in matters concerning faith or morals. I also want it to be very clear that I understand where my literalist friend (mentioned last week) was coming from in his arguments. “Tom,” he said, “If Genesis is wrong [about the creation of the world], then the rest of the Bible is wrong too.” This is an understandable statement, but not exactly true. To emphasize my points, I will take an example from the writings of Cardinal John Henry Newman. In his text, “What is of obligation for a catholic to believe concerning the inspiration of the canoni-
cal scriptures,” Newman recalls the New Testament’s Book of Timothy. The apostle Paul is missing some things and instructs Timothy at the end of the book to bring “the cloak which he left in Troas with Carpus.” Newman asks his readers, (sic) “Would St. Timothy … think this an infallible utterance? And supposing it had been discovered … that the Apostle left his cloak with Eutychus, not with Carpus, would Timothy, would Catholics now, make themselves unhappy, because St. Paul had committed … “a falsehood”? Would Christians declare that they had no longer any confidence in Paul after he had so clearly shown that he “had” not “the Spirit of God”? Would they feel that he had put the whole Apostolic system into confusion, and by mistaking Eutychus for Carpus he had deprived them henceforth of reading with any comfort his Epistle to the Romans or to the Ephesians?” Newman admits this is a bit of a ridiculous question, but he makes a clear point: There is content in the Bible that does not warrant the stamp of infallibility. Christians are supposed to read the Bible as a guide for their understanding of God (faith) and how he wants them to live their lives (morals). Salvation history is an important aspect of faith and morals, but readers must be critical of information in the Bible. They must realize that Joshua trusting God to
Monday, March 4, 2013 5 l
see him through the Battle of Jericho (a matter of faith) is far more important than the specific date on which the battle occurred (a matter for historians). My friend’s claim that Genesis’ incorrectness means the rest of the Bible is also incorrect places too much importance on sentences and ideas within Christian Scriptures which warrant no such importance. Paul’s theology and moral instructions are important; where he left his cloak is not.
There is content in the Bible that does not warrant the stamp of infallability. Christians are supposed to read the Bible as a guide for their understanding of God (faith) and how he wants them to live their lives (morals). What is more, the creation story being allegorical does not rob God of his power or importance. Just because he did not create the world we know in six days does not mean he did not create the world. Forming life over billions of years with the elegant instrument of evolution takes nothing away from his masterful artistry in forming the nervous system. In short, removing the infallibility of the “how?” questions and answers from the Bible will not leave behind an impotent religion. The teachings from the Sermon
on the Mount are still powerful ideas, even if the Sermon might have really been delivered on a plain. It should then be obvious to readers how this removes the need to teach intelligent design alongside evolution. Without the “how?” questions and answers, the Bible need not come into biology. It is up to individual believers to connect the dots. They must synthesize, for example, the reasons why God created ribosomes and the way ribosomes work into a cohesive and useable worldview. Parents who want their child to know about God must themselves teach their children, or send them to Sunday school or a school with religious classes. Leave the how to the science teachers and the why to the religion teachers. I understand this conclusion hinges on my view of Scripture, but I hope I have clearly related my justifications for holding this view. Any further questions or concerns on this subject can either be directed to the opinion column’s email, or related in the form of a letter to the editor. I appreciate you all for reading, and hope that I can spark both understanding and further discussion.

Yahoo! CEO’s move against telecommuting a smart decision haleigh amant opinion columnist
L
ast week, Marissa Mayer, current CEO of Yahoo!, declared to her Yahoo! employees they were no longer allowed to telecommute, a change to begin June of this year. I was amazed to hear about her bold move to make it mandatory to work in the office, or as the memo, sent by Yahoo!’s human resources head Jackie Reses, actually reads, “We need to be one Yahoo!., and that starts with physically being together.” I think Mayer’s move represents that very issue our technological society is facing today; the loss of personal interaction and collaboration.
We are not in the old days anymore. People want to be able to control their schedules and balance their lives, which they should be able to do if they are able to get all their work done. As you can imagine and have probably seen, this angered many of Yahoo!’s employees, as well as many people who aren’t even employed by Yahoo!, as many of them are full time telecommuters. These are people who are worried this move could
greatly damage the future of the work industry. There was also a huge uproar amongst women due to the fact many of them are telecommuters in order to allow for the exhausting job of being mothers as well. Now, I’m going to get this out of the way here: Telecommuting should not be taken away in today’s workforce. It is a flexible and necessary means of productivity in the workforce and especially in the future of the workforce—if used properly. The problem is that it’s not always used properly. As I discussed in my previous column, I see some problems with the technological advances of our society. As a result of technology, telecommuting has been made possible. Technology has helped society, but its overuse has also caused many problems. We are a multitasking society—that cannot effectively multi-task. Overuse of technology also decreases our ability to communicate and collaborate face-to-face. Technology and social media are damaging in the social sector of our lives (oh, the irony), but Mayer is addressing the problems created in today’s workforce, and good for her. In response to the outrage, later in the week, Mayer attempted to make clear her plan was not about making an impression on the industry, but was solely about the position Yahoo! was in. According to
an article in Forbes, Google, with 53,861 employees, generates $931,657 per worker, which is 170 percent more than the $344, 758 Yahoo generates per worker. Yahoo! clearly has a productivity issue, and that is what Mayer is trying to get at.
“We need to be one Yahoo!, and that starts with physically being together” Jackie Reses head of human resources Yahoo!
Not all companies should adapt a no-telecommuting policy because, let’s be honest, that would never fly. We are not in the old days anymore. People want to be able to control their schedules and balance their lives, which they should be able to do if they are able to get all their work done. But this is about Yahoo!. This isn’t about Mayer attempting to start a slippery slope trend in which all companies should follow suit: In fact, I don’t believe she would even wield enough power to trigger such a trend. But, Mayer’s plan might work at Yahoo! and we should let her do her job. This is going to bring the employees together in a fast-paced and changing

Wisconsin increased their record to 19-0-0 when doing so. From that point forward, goals for the red and white would continue to pour in. Midway through the second period, Decker utilized some shifty stick handling, weaving through a St. Cloud State defender, to double the Badgers’ lead. Sylvester would get Wisconsin on the scoreboard again— this time on the power play—as she received a precise pass through defenders from junior forward Madison Packer and tapped it in. The fireworks weren’t over for the LaBahn crowd, as the Badgers would add insult to injury in the final period of play with two more goals from freshman forward Erika Sowchuk and senior defenseman Jordan Brickner. “Obviously, when you score some goals, it creates energy and the atmosphere was good [Friday]. So I think the players fed off that a little bit,” head coach Mark Johnson said. “[I was] very pleased with the overall effort.” The Badgers wrapped up the firstround sweep Saturday night, propelling themselves to a 4-1 win with three third-period goals.

forward Katy Josephs netted the only goal for Wisconsin in the first period, while St. Cloud State senior forward Alex Nelson was able to put away the tying score during a 5-on-3 power play in the second period. Nelson’s goal in the second period was part of a rough 20 minutes of play for Johnson’s bunch, as Wisconsin committed four of five of its penalties in the period. “We had some adversity there in the second period, but we were fortunate to get out of there 1-1,” Johnson said. “If we stayed out of the penalty box and played with a little bit more discipline, eventually we were going to create enough scoring chances that hopefully one would get by.” The Badgers would not be denied in the third, though, with another Josephs goal moments into the final period that put Wisconsin back on top. UW doubled its lead just two minutes later, this time via a scramble in which Packer was able to find the back of the net. Decker finished off the win, scoring her 29th goal of the season to put up the final tally of the evening.

Wisconsin drops final regular season game at Michigan State No. 6 seed Illinois looms in Big Ten conference tournament By Jonah Beleckis the daily cardinal
The Wisconsin women’s basketball team (3-13 Big Ten, 11-18 Overall) will only have one more chance to “finish strong,” as it says on bracelets worn during each practice. The Badgers’ regular season came to an end Sunday in a 54-48 loss at Michigan State (10-6 Big Ten, 22-7 Overall). Nineteen turnovers plagued the Badgers in their regular season finale. The Spartans capitalized off those turnovers with 22 points in what was otherwise a close game statistically. Junior guard Morgan Paige led all scorers with 17 points and, along with junior forward Cassie Rochel, played all 40 minutes in the game. The Badgers started the game slowly and found themselves digging out
of an 8-2 deficit four minutes into the game. After switching to a 2-3 zone defensively, Wisconsin kept the margin to single digits going into the second half trailing 30-23. An 8-0 run led by Paige kept the Badgers in the game during the second half, and they were only down 50-47 with three minutes to play. After that, the 3-point shots for Wisconsin would not fall and Michigan State rode to a closely contested win. Sophomore forward Jacki Gulczynski added 10 points and four rebounds, while Rochel brought down 14 rebounds. Freshman guard Tessa Cichy played a career high 31 minutes in the contest, recording three points, one rebound and two assists. The Badgers outscored the Spartans 28-20 in the paint, but the points off turnovers proved too high of a hill for UW to climb. Wisconsin will play what could be its last game March 7 in the first round of the Big Ten tournament at Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Ill. The No. 11 seeded Badgers will face No. 6 seeded Illinois, which swept UW this season.

a nine-point UW lead into a sevenpoint deficit. “When you are missing shots, the basket gets smaller, you get a little tighter and we maybe forced a few passes that we shouldn’t have trying to make a great play instead of a good play,” Ryan said. “For us to get in that kind of hole, that’s pretty tough to come back from.” Generally Wisconsin can live with making six 3-point shots. The problem Sunday was the Badgers’ 28 attempts. During Big Ten play, UW has averaged 26.8 3-point attempts per game in its five losses and just 20.5 attempts in 11 wins. While the Badgers have squeaked out wins despite hot and cold shooting, they have gotten in trouble with an inability to show patience when the shots aren’t falling and to instead work the ball into the interior. “We’ve had games like this before that we have found ways to come out on the winning side when shots aren’t dropping for us,” Berggren said. “You would like to be able to rely on your defense on nights like that when shots aren’t dropping, but tonight we weren’t able to do that.” Wisconsin has never finished outside of the top-four in 11 years under Bo Ryan and, while that streak looked safe heading into Sunday, this latest Badger defeat has brought the possibility of a fifth-place finish very much back into the picture. UW is currently in a four-way tie for second place that will ultimately settle the No. 2 through No. 5 seeds in the Big Ten Tournament, with just three of the four teams being given all-important byes in the opening round (Wisconsin sits tied with Ohio State, Michigan and Michigan State—UW’s next opponent—in the conference). Last season it was a road loss at Iowa that took Wisconsin out of contention for the Big Ten title. Back then, UW responded with a road upset of Ohio State to begin a run of three straight wins to finish out the regular season. After Sunday’s loss, the Badgers can only hope for a repeat performance.

Huskies no match for Wisconsin in first round of conference playoffs By Rex Sheild and Peter Geppert the daily cardinal
Win and advance. That is the mentality the No. 2 seeded and No. 6 Wisconsin women’s hockey team needed to possess in its WCHA first-round matchup with St. Cloud State this past weekend, and it did just that. The Badgers took both contests by scores of 5-0 and 4-1. The victories extended Wisconsin’s winning streak against the Huskies to 16 games. In game one of the series, Wisconsin was on the offensive early and often, as it got the puck deep into the St.
Cloud State defensive zone. While the Badgers owned the shots-on-goal advantage 13-6 during the first period of play, they were only able to tab one past Huskies sophomore goaltender Julie Friend. With just under two minutes remaining in the period, senior forward Brianna Decker got a backhanded shot on net, which Friend deflected away, but the rebound was cleaned up by sophomore forward Karly Sylvester to take the early 1-0 lead. In the process of scoring the game’s first goal,
