Right-to-work funds find both parties Both Democrats and Republicans took donations from groups interested in right-to-work By Andrew Bahl THE DAILY CARDINAL
In 1980 a gallon of gas cost $1.08, a dozen eggs were priced at 89 cents and, according to Mike McCabe, former head of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, a state Senate candidate needed to raise $40,000 to be competitive in an election. “Now you would have to be prepared to spend seven figures to remain competitive in a race,” McCabe said. “We’ve even seen some state Senate races cost as much as $10 million.” Campaign finance has left its mark on the recent right-to-work debate, as members of both parties have accused the other of allowing special interest groups to manipulate them in the debate over the law. Republicans have accused Democrats of supporting labor unions for purely political purposes. “The organization that donates money [to campaigns], the 800pound gorilla in the room … is labor unions [giving to Democratic lawmakers],” said state Rep. Dean Knudson, R-Hudson, during floor debate in the Assembly. Democrats responded that Republicans introduced the bill to serve special interests.

Right-to-work opponents said they were angry about special interests’ influence over legislators. “[Republicans] put the priorities of the Koch Brothers, Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce, and the Bradley Foundation ahead of every hardworking Wisconsinite,” State Sen. Chris Larson, D-Milwaukee, said in a statement after the right-to-work bill passed the state Senate.
McCabe said both sides’ arguments are accurate. “There is no question that [business interests] have a friendly majority in the [state] legislature. They have a majority of [Republican] legislators who are easy to please,” McCabe said. “Democrats have long been very much interested in siding
with unions.” One of the most prominent rightto-work advocates is Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, the state’s chamber of commerce. In addition to hiring former state Sen. Joe Leibham, R-Sheboygan, to lobby for the legislation, the WMC has been one of the more promi-
Protesters take center stage at mayoral forum By Irene Burski THE DAILY CARDINAL
A march for Tony Robinson that began on Williamson Street ended in tension during a mayoral forum Thursday. The protesters filled the Barrymore Theatre, which hosted the debate between Mayor Paul Soglin and Ald. Scott Resnick, District 8, with angry disruptions, often interrupting the candidates’ answers. Protesters started their procession at the BP gas station across the street from the apartment where Robinson was shot and walked approximately one mile to the Barrymore, chanting “black lives matter,” “all power to the people,” and “this is what democracy sounds like,”— chants that have echoed on the streets of Madison during similar demonstrations over the past weeks. “We know that the mayor is a piece of this racist institution … and we want to talk to him,” Young, Gifted and Black organizer Alix Shabazz said at the start of the protest. “What are you going to do to make sure justice happens for Tony Robinson? What are you
going to do to end the racial disparity?” In the minutes leading up to the candidates beginning the forum, hosted and broadcasted by the Isthmus and WORT, the demonstrators unfurled the Black Lives Matter banner before other members of the audience, which included Tony Robinson’s grandmother, Sharon Irwin. “We are here simply to demonstrate our rights to civil disobedience,” YGB organizer Brandi Grayson said. “We are here to challenge the candidates … in how they are going to respond to what’s happening in our community and how are they going to deal with the anxiety, frustration and distrust as a result of the killing of one of our children.” YGB organizer Eric Upchurch said city officials have not yet demonstrated their accountability for combating racial injustices in Madison. “Our presence is strong. They have no choice but to address us,” Upchurch said. “But will they be accountable? … Right now what we’ve seen, [political officials and
nent campaign contributors for Republican lawmakers. In the 2014 election cycle, the WMC political action committee gave $4,150 in campaign contributions to seven Republican candidates, according to the candidates’ financial reports. The group also spent an estimated $4.8 million on TV ads promoting candidates, according to a report from the Center for Public Integrity. More notably, the WMC conduit gave $72,295 to Republican state Senate, Assembly and gubernatorial campaigns in the past election cycle, a 53 percent increase over the 2012 elections. According to McCabe, conduits bundle donations together from individuals as a single check and generally operate without limits that could constrain a PAC or individual giving. McCabe said campaign contributions weigh on a candidate’s mind more today than they would have in the past. “There is no question that today’s lawmakers are hypersensitive to the flow of money in campaigns,” he said. “There is an unmistakable [voting] pattern that favors those who bankroll their campaigns.”

An intoxicated woman was hit by a moving vehicle on the 300 block of West Gorham Street outside of Chaser’s Bar & Grille in the early hours of Sunday, according to a Madison Police Department incident report. MPD officers reported that the victim, a 21-year-old Madison resident, was being escorted out of the restaurant by a friend when she ran into traffic and was struck by the car. The collision caused her to flip onto the hood, MPD Lt. Eric Tripke wrote in the report. Following the incident, the woman was taken to a local hospital and treated for minor injuries. Police then issued her a sudden pedestrian movement citation because she ran out into traffic, according to the report.
“…the great state University of Wisconsin should ever encourage that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found.”

Interview with a Bangin’ Badger Babe, Part 3
edit@dailycardinal.com
tODAY: snow
Alex tucker sex columnist
I
t’s time for another week of Badger Babe bubble blowing! My queer friend Carmen Sandiego is here to talk about who and what she likes in da bedroom, and what campus is like for someone who lives to love the ladies. She has a lot to say so let’s jump right in!
Alex: How do you identify in your sexuality? Carmen: I currently identify as a lesbian, but that does change from time to time. I’ve been bisexual in the past. I’d actually say I’m a lesbian with heterosexual moments.
Alex: Is that decided by what happens in that moment? Like, if you’re with a hot dude and you start banging, is that a “heterosexual moment,” or do you ever fantasize about it, are you ever interested in it? How does that work? Carmen: Part of it’s that I foresee myself ending up with a chick. I’ll never go away from that. But then when the moment is there, it’s definitely a matter of personality. It definitely comes down to if we’re in the moment, it happens. It’s never “I’m going to go after this man” in general. Last summer, I’d have sex with men because we were such good friends. It was like, “Why not give each other a screaming orgasm” because we’re such good friends.
Alex: Cool! So what kind of personality is attractive to you? Carmen: I’m a firm believer that confidence is the most attractive trait in someone. Even though it could tip being arrogant or fake. If someone’s confident about who they are or what they’re doing, if they have passion—whatever it is, even if it’s just, “I wrote a paper and I’m really proud of it”—it sounds very silly but I’m glad you can be proud of yourself. Finding the line between being arrogant and just knowing you’re an awesome person is extremely attractive.
Alex: It is attractive but it’s hard! Carmen: That’s part of the reason it’s so attractive. So many people strive for it but when you, like, get it. Then it’s like ugh! So hot.
Alex: Would you consider yourself more of a relationship person or a hookup person, and does being queer affect that at all? Carmen: I’m trying to figure that out myself, to be honest with you. I was in a very serious relationship for a long time, very monogamous, very much just
us for a year and a half. Then I did this wild child for a while, and now I’m trying to find a balance between that “wild child” and being married at 20. I think different people are valuable—and I hate using that word—but I think different people can complete a person in different ways, and it’s very difficult to find just one person who can do all of that. But being queer makes me more vocal about my wants, because with my friends or in classes I take, I talk like that. Because I’ve had to explore my sexual orientation and how I choose to express myself, it’s brought up conversations and made me explore what I want in relationships.
Alex: What would make someone worth being in a relationship with? Carmen: There’s gotta be substantial equality. I know there are power dynamics in relationships, but it can’t feel, like, unequal. I should mention I’m really into the chase, so that’s probably why I’m really into hookups right now. I’m into going after people and seeing how awesome they are and doing random romantic or sexual gestures. I’m really big into that. It takes a very interesting person. They have to challenge me without being a jerk about it. It’s so difficult to describe. I feel like I can’t necessarily answer that because I’m not sure what I’m looking for. But they gotta be hot.
Alex: And that’s hard for anyone around our age to answer completely. I have a question about roles in relationships that aren’t heterosexual. Do you think traditional gender roles are taken in queer or lesbian relationships? Carmen: I remember being in one relationship where it was, the person I was dating was like, “You’re the boy and I’m the girl,” and that didn’t bother me at first, but as time went on I was like, “Mmm, that bothers me.” In general that’s not really the case, unless people want it to be the case. It’s not as common with people I know anymore, especially since we’ve all taken classes where we say, “Aah fuck the patriarchy!” But in my experience we’re pretty lax about it. But, the majority of older couples I know, in their 40s or 50s with kids, there’s the breadwinner and the homemaker. They do have those roles. I know a couple where one’s “Dad” and one’s “Daddy.” Even though they don’t line up with how their relationship is, that was just easier. The majority of queer people I hang out with try not to gender their roles. We want to be like, “No!” We’re queer and we don’t need to fall into these specific roles. To be fair, the majority of straight couples I know try not to take on those gender roles
either. I don’t know if that’s a generational thing, a Madison thing or just the people who I hang out with.
Alex: What’s it like being a queer person on this campus? Carmen: We have a lot of cool resources that are super dope. We have an LGBT Certificate where we just get to talk about queer shit all the time. Madison’s pretty respectful of all orientations and genders and stuff, plus we have Plan B and Drag Shows so they can echo how people feel. I know other people on other campuses don’t feel that way at all, which is kinda sad. I came out in high school but I became more comfortable with my sexuality here in Madison, and that’s huge.
Alex: Can we talk a little bit about sex? Everyone wants to know… What is lesbian sex like? Carmen: It’s awesome. I love it, it’s my favorite hobby. So certain acts at certain times are and are not sex. Like fingering, fingering is sometimes foreplay or sometimes sex. It really depends what’s going on based on different moments. Basically whatever gets an orgasm, which is a loose definition, but that’s sex. It’s pretty much whatever anybody wants. This is about to get really graphic, and that’s fine because we’re not putting my name on this! So I strapped for the first time—
Alex: That’s “fucked your partner with a strap-on dildo,” right? Carmen: Right. So that was new for me. It was different and interesting, it was strapping sex and it definitely isn’t necessary
for sex. I feel like the majority of queer women I’m with, oral is kinda where it’s at oftentimes. There’s often a marathon effect, so you either finger or go down on someone or both and then when they’re all hot and heavy and good, the other person does the other one. The last time I had sex, it went on for over an hour. A solid hour of real work. You never know when to stop because you want to “return the favor”—and that’s an awesome reciprocity that always ends up happening with the people I’m hooking up with—but it usually ends with each person doing the other at the same time.
Alex: Those are all of my questions! Anything you want to talk about? Carmen: First of all, going down on a girl can get messy. Someone once told me, “If your eyebrows don’t get wet, you’re not doing it right.” Next, let’s talk about scissoring! Scissoring can be awesome but it’s not the end-all be-all. The people I know, that isn’t their go-to for sex. I’ve never gotten off completely with scissoring, but it’s cool that you can be up against your partner that way. It’s good to lead into something else. Oral, fingering and sex toys can be incorporated into sex way more often than scissoring. Finally, butt stuff. I don’t know very many chicks who are into butt stuff. I’ve done some butt stuff, I’ve never had a conversation like “Oh yes eat my ass,” unless they really like Nicki Minaj. It can be fun but it’s definitely not crucial. Follow-up questions for the elusive Ms. Sandiego? Email sex@dailycardinal.com and Alex will hook you up with the answers you deserve!

Expedition fosters public’s lifelong passion for science By Kelsey O’Hara THE DAILY CARDINAL
Over the weekend, UW Science Expeditions welcomed community members from children to retirees for three days of science exploration with 96 stations, seven science exhibits and three documentaries spread across 24 venues on campus. UW-Madison’s 13th annual science open house gave the public an opportunity to actively engage with university faculty and students through handson experimentation. UW Science Expeditions Coordinator Tom Zinnen described the open house as a chance to build the scientific outreach on campus. “The metaphor I use is the science community is a vine that grows and the Science Expeditions is a catalyst that gives us something to grow on,” Zinnen said. The expedition kicked off Friday with an evening focused on the DNA of unidentified World War II soldiers and the biological processes of Wisconsin’s fermentation at the Genetics-Biotechnology Center building. Zinnen said these events were meant to draw adult participation. “We want to let older members know there is events for them as well, even if they don’t have a child or grandchild to bring,” Zinnen said.
Saturday was packed with exploration stations, demonstration shows and interactive exhibits for entire families. Community members gathered at the Discovery Building to perform experiments with each station focused on a particular branch of science. Matt Dent, a volunteer with chemistry professor Judith Burstyn’s research group, said these experiments can help get young children excited about science. “It’s really important to have hands-on and visual activities at a young age. We probably all have memories that really motivated us to do science,” Dent said. “You need to have those opportunities to make those memories.” The opportunities continued from stations into demonstration shows like Wonders of Physics. These shows encouraged the kids’ curiosity through vibrant demos like musical Tesla coils. Michael Randall, a coordinator for Wonders of Physics, sees the crucial resource of inspiring children with science. “We are losing our most valuable resource, our kids’ minds, because we are not inspiring them, particularly at an early age,” Randall said. “It’s so important that people get the value of science and, particularly for the younger minds, that they get excited about it.”

STUDENT PROFILE
Junior engineers the right racing formula
By Bri Maas THE DAILY CARDINAL
Faced with the task of designing and building a racecar from scratch then taking this potential deathtrap for a test drive may sound terrifying, but for engineering major Billy Kucinski, it is an opportunity to learn through doing what he loves. As p r i n c ip a l of UW-Madison’s Formula SAE Team, Kucinski leads a team of student engineers in creating a Formula 1 car at onethird scale to contend in an international student competition, where 120 teams from around the world perform in “static” and “dynamic” events that test the car’s safety and speed respectively. Kucinski described the organization as a way for him

protesters from page 1 lenging Resnick for his response in favor of a proposed police body camera study. “Elected leaders need to do more for their community,” Resnick said to crowd cheers. “And regardless of your thoughts of what occurred on that night, what we need to do is have a true conversation about the arrest disparities in our community … We have a responsibil-
ity to have the strongest protocols anywhere in the country right here in Madison, Wisconsin [for the Madison Police Department].” Soglin defended his tenure, saying that he brought action to the table over rhetoric. “The city needs to make a choice as to whether it wants to engage in leadership that talks about talking, or actually goes out and listens and reforms,” Soglin said in his rebuttal to Resnick, cit-
Labor unions also have cast their lot with financial donations, largely to Democratic campaigns. Unions, both public and private, gave more than $1 million to Democratic campaigns in advance of the fall 2014 elections compared with roughly $90,000 to Republican candidates. The Wisconsin Laborers’ District Council, whose leaders have been fixtures at rallies against right-to-work, gave $85,560 to campaigns in the fall. This is a substantial increase from the 2012 election cycle when the union gave ing his leadership in continuous racial disparity studies preceding Robinson’s death. “I didn’t wait four years for this to happen.” Resnick later criticized Soglin for taking too long to make the most recent racial disparity studies conducted by the city readily available to the public. “We’re talking about numbers [from 2013] that are locked up in a PDF file [and] we haven’t seen the 2014 numbers,” Resnick said.
to exercise his lifelong passion while gaining professional experience. “I’ve loved cars my entire life, but didn’t really have an opportunity to work on them. This is a place I can go to learn and do what I love,” Kucinski said. Kucinski also serves as president and overseer of all four vehicle teams at UW-Madison, coordinating socials and scheduling time in the shop. He said both leadership roles can leave him with a lot on his plate, so it is essential to prioritize his time. “You try to focus your efforts in the area where it’s needed most,” Kucinski said. This balancing act gets particularly difficult around competition times, the next of which falls during finals week, forcing him to cram studying into an already stressful week
of competition preparation. To combat the time crunch, Kucinski said he begins each semester by meticulously planning chunks of time for studying, working, eating and sleeping on top of the time he spends in the shop. Most of his days end up being completely scheduled from 8 a.m. to midnight. “I think that’s one of the best things I get from being on the Formula team, other than engineering knowledge, is time management,” Kucinski said. “That’s something I focus a lot of time on teaching to new members.” Kucinski, who hopes to work in the automotive industry after graduation, said working on the team helped connect him to an internship in Germany, where he will work with Volkswagen this summer.
only $5,274 to candidates. State Sen. Janet Bewley, D-Ashland, who joined her Democratic colleagues in voting against right-towork, received 53 percent of the $20,629 she raised in the past election cycle from labor unions. This included $1,000 from the WLDC, the maximum allowed for a state Senate race under state law. A spokesperson for Bewley said her belief that the bill will have a negative economic impact was a more significant reason in casting her “no” vote than financial support from labor unions. McCabe said the decline in
membership has nonetheless decreased unions’ power to give to candidates, meaning that business interests will have more leverage going forward than in the past. “If you follow the money, you get a clear picture of why we see the kind of legislation passed that we are now,” McCabe said. “Republicans are way more adventurous and aggressive about passing anti-union legislation than 15 or 20 years ago because they don’t have to worry about opponents that are heavily funded by labor.” WMC and WLDC didn’t return multiple phone calls seeking comment for this story.
“That’s not what occurs in most cities. If we’re going to be accountable to the public, we need to have a transparent system in place.” After Resnick’s comment, the debate ended chaotically, with moderator Renée Lauber unable to speak clearly over the chanting crowd. For former Ald. Bridget Maniaci, District 2, who was previously a candidate in the mayoral race, the disruptions took
too much away and prevented undecided voters from being able to make a decision. She cited that many non-protesters in the audience instead chose to leave. “I would have liked to have heard more from the candidates,” Maniaci said. “Sometimes it can be messy, but we have to find a way of having these conversations in a way that do not have people walking out. And that’s what happened tonight.”

Revelry takes a ‘Chance’ with lineup Chance the Rapper, the Chainsmokers among headliners for third annual music and arts festival By Conor Murphy The Daily Cardinal
The lineup for the 2015 Revelry Music and Arts Festival was released Sunday, with Chance the Rapper and the Social Experiment and the Chainsmokers among the headliners. The third annual festival will be held May 2, with stages on Library Mall and the Memorial Union Terrace. Joining Chance the Rapper and the Chainsmokers are British synthpop duo AlunaGeorge, multigenre band Until the Ribbon Breaks, rapper Mick Jenkins and singer-songwriter Nick Hakim. Chance the Rapper is a Chicagobased rapper who released his first mixtape, “10 Day,” in 2011, and rode a wave of praise in 2013 with his critically acclaimed second mixtape, Acid Rap. Chance, along with his band the Social Experiment, are currently on tour, and recently played South by Southwest in Austin, Texas. Hailing from New York City, the Chainsmokers garnered immense attention last year for their two high-energy electronic singles, “#Selfie” and “Kanye.” The duo has been remixing
other artists’ tracks for the last three years, and signed with 604 Records last year. AlunaGeorge, comprised of vocalist Aluna Francis and producer George Reid, have been working together since 2009, and gained popularity in 2013 with their debut album, Body Music. The group has since collaborated with fellow British artist Disclosure, and came in second in BBC’s Sound of 2013 contest. Until the Ribbon Breaks, a multi-genre band from Cardiff, Wales, have been remixing popular tracks over the last three years, and will release their debut album, A Lesson Unlearnt, this year. The group blends popular electronic drumbeats with searing vocals, and the group was featured on Run the Jewels’ 2013 track, “Job Well Done.” Mick Jenkins, a rapper with Cinematic Music Group who released his fourth mixtape, “The Water[s],” in 2014, has been praised for his acid-jazz infused tracks, and worked with fellowheadliner Chance the Rapper in 2013 on “Cross Roads.” Jenkins toured last fall with Method Man,
Redman and B-Real, promoting his highly acclaimed 2014 mixtape. Currently preparing for an American and Canadian tour, Washington, D.C.-based singersongwriter Nick Hakim combined smooth vocals, crisp guitar and bluesy drums to craft two excellent mixtapes, “Where Will We Go Pt. 1” and “Pt. 2.” His soulful music is a contrast to his fellow headliners, but the power behind his performance is sure to excite the audience when he takes the stage. For this year’s festival, Revelry’s student Executive Director Ben Arden noted that Revelry is attracting both national and international acts. Festival goers are sure to enjoy the variety in this year’s lineup, and more bands will be announced throughout the next six weeks. Tickets for the festival will be $10 for students and $30 for the general public, and are available at the Memorial Union box office, as well as TicketMaster. Follow The Daily Cardinal through the next six weeks as we cover the performers coming to the third annual Revelry Music and Arts Festival.

Mat Kearney, Parachute spark exciting Orpheum show By Collin Schmidt The Daily Cardinal
At the top of State Street, past bars and The Hub construction site, there is a thriving community of music lovers, late night owls constantly looking for entertainment. Mat Kearney’s performance at the Orpheum March 18 provided just that. There was a lot of buildup to Kearney’s performance as his most recent album, JUST KIDS, was released two months ago. This album has been in creation for years and is starting to grow
on me, but it’s hard to live up to his previous albums, Nothing Left to Lose, Young Love and City of Black & White. JUST KIDS contains a mix of sounds of the previous albums, and fits together very well. Kearney used his pop vocals with high snares, and delved a bit into an electronic sound that is now becoming present across many genres. He has developed immensely as an artist, and many may not know that Kearney played soccer on an athletic scholarship at California State University, Chico. After
three years of playing soccer, he met producer Robert Marvin, who took him to Nashville, Tenn., where Kearney resides to this day. Before Kearney’s performance, Judah & the Lion, also from Nashville, was the opener for Parachute. Judah & the Lion was a lively bunch, with an array of instruments, including a banjo and a mandolin. They were jumping and dancing around the stage while playing some fantastic folk music. The band finished up their set, and called for Parachute, one of my favorite bands, to hop up on stage. This wasn’t the end for Judah & the Lion though, as Kearney pulled them out on stage later for a crowd-pleasing cover of Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk.”

A resident of Nashville, Tenn., Mat Kearney brought a high-energy set to the Orpheum, capitalizing on his crowd interactions.
Parachute was ready as they came on for the large crowd of screaming girls. The fancy pink blazer on lead singer Will Anderson got the raucous crowd going. Their most recent release, Overnight, received a lot of publicity, which the band built on from the success of previous songs such as, “She Is Love,” and “Kiss Me Slowly.” The band was a fun bunch, and really talented at involving the crowd. Their closing song, “Didn’t See It Coming,” really brought it home. It was a bit like being at a Badger hockey game, the band was going wild, the kids in the

Kearney was ready to change the atmosphere, as he hopped up on stage with his classic skater look. He said that he loves it here in Madison, and his enthusiasm showed when he started rambling about the unique town we share. Kearney opened with “Heartbreak Dreamer,” off his new album. He slowly eased the crowd in, and then turned up the volume with an old classic, “Count On Me.” This was great to hear live, because I covered the song in my high school band. After my favorite song, he broke out the big guns and jumped into the crowd. Kearney really poured his heart into his performance, and the crowd loved it.
The night wouldn’t have been complete without the encore. Kearney came back on stage, and the entire crowd was excited for “Hey Mama,” off of Young Love. He also messed around on the beat pad from the title track of JUST KIDS, and finished the encore with “Ships In the Night.” After the show ended, I was able to get pictures with Parachute’s Anderson, who told me, “If I could have any superpower it would be a soundtrack that plays wherever I go with the proper mood that I’m in.” Before I left the venue, I encountered a drunk woman on her way out. She started raving to me about the show, and I realized that she was like me: people may grow up and get jobs, but on the inside, we are all JUST KIDS.
opinion Digital detox: Step away from the phone 6

I
am a super human. No really, I am. I did the unthinkable—the impossible—and here I am to tell the tale. I leapt off the grid into the great abyss of the pop culture irrelevant world; a world with no screenshots, no bad captions and no poking. That’s right. I made the bold decision to delete all social media applications off of my phone for a week. Well, it was actually five days … give me a break, I’m not Gandhi. That means I missed a week of Miley Cyrus’s disturbingly photoshopped Instagrams, a week of Twitter fights over a the color of a very unflattering dress and a week of Snapchat stories, which don’t really need an example because we all know how annoying Snapchat stories are. I was originally inspired to
try out a social media detox because I had to study for midterms and found it dangerous to have the extra distractions. Let’s face it, social media is a huge time-suck. I have a friend (he knows who he is) who will go on his phone or computer while we are hanging out and completely tune out the world around him. I mean truly, a gun could fire and he wouldn’t notice. But what’s the point in keeping up on everyone else’s lives if you are missing out on your own? I’m certainly not the first to say this, but time in Madison actually moves faster than anywhere else in the world. I’m sure of it. There is nothing on social media that could possibly be better than what you are missing right in front of you. I was tired of spending so much time on my phone, and I
knew my addiction was strong. I knew I had to completely eliminate the applications from my phone—pathetic, but you gotta do what you gotta do. I decided to delete all social media from my phone not only because of the ridiculous amount of time I would save, but also because scrolling through each social media app was often an unpleasant experience. Viewing a Snapchat story of all of my friends at a party while I was stuck at home studying gave me FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). Reading overly opinionated tweets confused and frustrated me. Seeing an Instagram photo posted by one of the Victoria’s Secret models that I follow (which I need to stop doing, really) made me feel bad about my ever-present craving of chicken wings. One

day, after putting my phone down after my “morning check” of each app, I finally acknowledged that I felt substantially less happy and peaceful than I did when I had picked up my phone. I was gaining next to nothing from all of social media, but was allowing it to control me. It’s fun to keep up on what your friends, family or favorite celebrities are up to, but it’s much more important to live your own life. If social media has a negative impact on you and your life, get rid of it. It is a fairly worthless thing to waste your energy on. You will not cease to exist just because you haven’t posted a photo in a week. If you have midterms coming up, or if you find yourself deep in the archives of someone’s Instagram, give
it up for a week. When I did, I felt like a new person. All of a sudden I had more control over my time and my feelings, and it was a control that was very easy to obtain. Maybe next time you’re online, you will realize that you actually did not miss Kim Kardashian’s irrelevant photo captions. Marisa is a freshman and is currently undecided on her major. What do you think of her perspective? Have you had experiences similar to hers? Are there truly detriments that come with the overuse of things like social media? Would you also advocate for a detox period? Is one week not enough time, or should there be more? We would like to know what you think.

Utilitarian approach can be damning for the minority Hae rin lee Opinion Columnist
I
s the abuse of a few justified in the name of saving lives in the majority? My take can be described as utilitarian, which dictates the moral action is one that maximizes utility in terms of pleasure, economic well-being and
the lack of suffering. It is natural that people tend to choose the path that offers them a better quality of life, and society as a whole often leans in the same direction. Because individuals tend to pursue what is best for themselves, society often follows since such pursuit generally turns out to be the most
idealistic approach. It sounds like a good idea, right? Jeremy Bentham, one of the most prominent scholars in this theory, suggested there is a way to quantify personal and societal happiness. He took happiness as the measure for utility, “it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number

that is the measure of right and wrong.” John Stuart Mill also suggested such idealism could be used to establish liberalism and embrace the implementation of laws and economies on the assumption of what is best—which is ironic in the sense that society creates laws to regulate personal behaviors, gradually limiting what one can pursue. The problem comes when idealism is used to quantify and is implemented in physical terms. What is so bad about this, you ask? Its intent to benefit the maximum amount of people is certainly done in good faith. However beneficial it may seem, it does not mean this ideal is absent of faults. It is simply impossible to quantify emotional values. Not many people, practically no one actually, will be able to come up with a right answer in determining quantifications of emotions. This value tends to be unpredictable, especially in times of crisis. According to this idea, it is justified to use nuclear weapons or extremely deadly machinery to end a war in the quickest way possible to minimize the damages and deaths. Or it could work against the moral wrong of ethnic genocide. If the majority of people think it is okay to deport or to massacre certain ethnic minorities, what would be able to stop that if the logic says it is rightful to do so? Society is the collective thoughts of people, however, in extreme cases, individuals instead of people determine the function of society. Why does this matter? Maximizing benefits should not sacrifice the well-being of others with different values because it fits with the logic. Just because I think an action is the best, it should not be forced upon and used against other people. These people are just as human as I am. The reason why laws exist is to prevent certain abuses of personal selfishness in pursuing what is assumed to be the optimal thing. However, laws are not perfect either, which leads to the question of
how people should behave in the context of an imperfect law. The best thing is to not become the demons of ourselves—to achieve what works the best in certain situations, people should not sacrifice morals and abuse others to the point of losing their moral consciousness. If you allow yourself to be vulnerable to the evils of following what seems to be the optimal course for you, you could commit what is truly wrong and evil. People’s values should not be quantified to some degree because oftentimes too much trust in optimistic belief can result in tragedy. Or it allows the development of totalitarian communism in the name of spreading wealth to most people while sacrificing the rights to be individualistic.
It is always better to think of what is right, rather than simply what is best.
I think postmodern society is still not free of this guilt, because as long as individuals and society pursue what functions best for the most people, there will always come a time where certain systems are implemented when they shouldn’t be. We may still pursue what seems to be right for most people, but we should not abuse the power of the majority to take away the rights of the few. We should consider the most harmonious outcomes possible, not what we are pursue as justification for our own tyranny. It is always better to think of what is right, rather than simply of what is best. Hae Rin is a freshman majoring in history. What do you think of her take? Is the untilitarian approach morally flawed? Is this only the case in governmental practice? Tell us what you think. Please send all thoughts and comments to opinion@dailycardinal.com

advances from page 8 off the upset. But back-to-back steals shortly after by Kaminsky and Gasser led to a quick five points and gave the Badgers some breathing room. Wisconsin sealed the deal with under a minute to go, when Kaminsky grabbed an offensive rebound off a missed free throw and made the putback to push the UW lead to 10. The normally reserved Kaminsky celebrated by flexing to the crowd, knowing the Badgers were going to escape the CenturyLink Center with a win on a night where they weren’t at their best. Despite its size advantage, Wisconsin was outrebounded 34-32 and outscored in the paint by a 30-24 margin, yet the Badgers overcame all of that to
move on from Omaha, Neb. to Los Angeles, where they’ll take on No. 4-seed North Carolina next Thursday at 6:47 p.m. Sunday’s intense victory came on the heels of a Friday night win over Coastal Carolina in the Round of 64. In that game, Kaminsky scored 27 points on 10-of-14 shooting and Dekker added 20 points of his own in the Badgers’ 86-72 triumph. “These guys definitely have had the kind of season where they’ve earned every inch of this. Hopefully we can go out to LA and get something done,” UW head coach Bo Ryan said following Sunday’s win. “I’m proud of these guys. That was a tough game. Pretty physical, some things got away from us, but we were able to corral all our talents and get it done.”
With just under three and a half minutes remaining in the game, Johnson called a timeout and took his goaltender out of the game, leaving an empty net. It created some quality shot opportunities, but the Badgers could not connect on any of them, while nearly allowing goals scored on them on three separate occasions. “They left everything on the ice,” Johnson said. “It wasn’t due to a lack of effort or commitment. It’s disappointing but again, I’m very proud of my team and the way they conducted themselves.” The bright spot for Wisconsin was the continued growth of Pankowski. Down the stretch,

she proved herself as one of the nation’s best scorers, and her future is bright with the Badgers. “I think in the locker room, you could see ... that this was not enough for everyone,” Pankowski said. “It’s going to be that bitter taste that’s in our mouth that’s going to drive us next year.” Pankowksi and company will try next year to get the Badgers to their third-consecutive Frozen Four. With the loss of his seniors, Mark Johnson will be relying on a new four, Pankowski, Clark, Baylee Wellhausen, and Maddie Rolfes, his rising sophomores, to try to make next year’s final rounds a little less frozen for Wisconsin.

The Badgers technically outshot the Wolverines, but in terms of quality shots, the Badgers were outmatched. The Wolverines consistently put pressure on UW, and while a few of their goals were unconventional, it wasn’t luck—it was a byproduct of the aggressive Michigan offense. Wisconsin finished with just four wins, a disappointing result for a usually strong program. This year may not have ended the way the team had hoped, but the outgoing senior class won 67 games and two conference championships over their career, and they will be remembered more for their seasons of success than one season of disappointment.

Although this last season was rough, Joel Rumpel and the five other seniors at UW should be remembered for so much more.
ARGOSY UNIVERSITY | 5.835 x 8.0” | CHICAGO | 12/04/14
The Badgers (0-3 Big Ten, 13-16 overall) had a rough start to their opening Big Ten play as they were swept by the Purdue Boilermakers (3-0, 22-9) in all three games of their weekend series. Wisconsin struggled to hit the ball, recording only five total hits in series compared to the 21 from Purdue. The Badgers had trouble against Purdue’s Lilly Fecho, a junior with a 1.16 ERA who pitched every inning except the last four against Wisconsin. UW were only able to tally one run in the three games as Fecho struck out 17 batters over the course of the weekend. Wisconsin lost Friday’s opening game 9-0 in five innings, due to one disastrous inning. After three scoreless innings to open the game, Purdue poured in nine runs to take the untouchable lead. The Badgers committed one error and were only able to tally one hit in the game, recorded by freshman infielder Kelsey Jenkins. UW was unable to rally any runs to get back in the game in the top of the next inning. Junior pitcher Taylor-Paige Stewart allowed five hits and seven runs while striking out seven batters in her 3.2 innings played. Freshman pitcher Annie Davis allowed one hit and two runs to end the game. Saturday was a bit closer
score-wise, but the Badgers still lost 4-1. Wisconsin was able to score its only run of the series in the first inning, but Purdue would score two in the bottom of the same inning and two more in the next. The Badgers were outhit again by Purdue with sophomore Chloe Miller claiming Wisconsin’s single hit to the Boilermakers’ seven. Stewart pitched all six innings for UW, allowing seven hits and four runs while striking out four batters. Wisconsin capped off the weekend sweep with a 6-0 loss Sunday. Purdue scored early and often with their six runs coming in the first three innings. Seniors Maria Van Abel, Megan Tancill and junior Katie Christner would record the Badgers three hits as the Boilermakers tallied eight. No errors were committed by either team in the matchup. Freshman Mariah Watts pitched all six innings, allowing eight hits and six runs while striking out eight batters. Watts had previously been improving her ERA, but the Boilermakers took a toll going from a respectable 2.64 ERA to a 3.19 by the end of the weekend. The Badgers will head to Evanston, Ill. this Friday to face the Northwestern Wildcats in search of their first conference victory as they continue Big Ten play.

UW plucks Ducks, advances to Sweet 16 By Zach Rastall the daily cardinal
Sam Dekker’s second-half burst of scoring led the Badgers to the Sweet 16 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
OMAHA, Neb.—Locked in an intense NCAA Tournament battle with the Oregon Ducks for a second consecutive year, the Wisconsin Badgers desperately needed someone to deliver a huge second-half performance to keep their dreams of a national title alive. Junior forward Sam Dekker turned out to be just the man for the job. Dekker scored 14 of his 17 points in the second half to help No. 1-seeded Wisconsin (33-3) survive a major scare from No. 8-seed Oregon (26-10) and hold on for a 72-65 victory in the third round of the NCAA Tournament Sunday night. Senior forward Frank Kaminsky scored 16 points, sophomore forward Nigel Hayes finished with 14 and sophomore guard Bronson Koenig added 12 to help UW reach the Sweet Sixteen for the fourth time in the last five years, joining Michigan State, Louisville and Kentucky as the only programs to accomplish that feat. After going just 1-of-4 from the field in the first half, Dekker came alive in the second, shooting 5-for-8 over the last 20 minutes and hitting several key shots at critical junctures in the game. “The first half I wasn’t playing up to my capabilities.

Season ends with a whimper in Big Ten Tournament loss By Andrew Tucker the daily cardinal
DETROIT—Wisconsin’s season ended Thursday night much the way it went all year: being outplayed and outscored. The Badgers (2-15-3 Big Ten, 4-26-5 overall) lost 5-1 to Michigan (138-0, 21-14-0) in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament. Michigan opened the scoring on a rebound goal by senior forward Zach Hyman 14 minutes into the first period. Freshman forward Dylan Larkin ripped a shot off the post and Hyman casually backhanded the puck in before UW senior goaltender Joel Rumpel knew where the puck was. The pair of Wolverines lead the conference in points per game and have been the centerpiece of the team’s offense all season. That carried over to this game as well, with the duo combining for seven points. “You try to limit what they can get done, but in the end they got some good stuff against us tonight,” said head coach Mike Eaves. The Wolverines scored a pair of flukey goals in the second period that all but iced the game. Two minutes into the second period, Michigan senior defenseman Andrew Sinelli notched his first goal of the year with a shot that took a weird bounce and jumped over Rumpel’s shoulder. Only a few minutes later, Michigan’s fresh-
man defenseman Cutler Martin took a shot that deflected off Hyman and right past Rumpel to the back of the net. “You get a few like that, that you can’t see, and they hit a few skates and a few butts, it’s hard to get momentum, it’s hard to get into a rhythm,” Rumpel said. “I kept on trying to battle, but it was tough to find something when you’re getting bounces like that.” Halfway through the third, multiple Badgers crashed the net, pounding at the puck, and sophomore forward Jedd Soleway chipped the puck in, and Wolverine junior goaltender Steve Racine kicked the puck out as it crossed the line. The refs took a longer look at it and called the goal good. The goal didn’t mean much in terms of the outcome, but it served as a slight morale booster in a rough game. “It definitely got guys fired up … finally we got one home,” said senior forward Brad Navin. “Team morale was definitely up, we hadn’t scored a goal in a while, but in the end there our effort was there, but our execution was off target a little bit. Michigan put the game firmly out of reach with a coastto-coast goal by Larkin where he single handedly zig-zagged his way through the Wisconsin defense. Pouring salt in the wound, senior forward Justin

Wisconsin iced out in Frozen Four By Lorin Cox the daily cardinal
MINNEAPOLIS—It is fitting that the last two rounds of the NCAA tournament are called the Frozen Four. As the Badgers fell to the Minnesota Golden Gophers, Wisconsin had a frozen four of their own - their senior forwards. Brittany Ammerman, Blayre Turnbull, Karley Sylvester and Katy Josephs each put shots on the net, but none of them could put points on the board in their team’s 1-3 loss. It was a freshman connection for the Badgers that got them their only goal of the game. Center Emily Clark won her seventh-straight face-off in the game and sent the puck to Annie Pankowski at the top of the circle. Pankowski fired a laser past Minnesota junior goaltender Amanda Leveille just 52 seconds
into the second period. After a scoreless first period, UW had the lead and the momentum for the early part of the second period. They were getting shots on net and really testing Leveille on every look. Then, just under nine minutes into the period the Gophers’ leading scorer, junior forward Hannah Brandt, got her team on the board. That opened the floodgates for Minnesota. “Well, I think the one thing you saw is when a team scores a goal, they get a lot of energy from it,” Wisconsin head coach Mark Johnson said. “They capitalized on a play and energized it.” The Gophers thrived off that energy, and they took the lead less than two minutes later. Junior forward Maryanne Menefee put in a rebound off a shot by sophomore Megan Wolfe, and Badger goalten-
der Ann-Reneé Desbiens couldn’t get to it in time. Five minutes later, Ammerman was sent to the penalty box for tripping, and Minnesota went on the power play. After 30 seconds against Wisconsin’s top-ranked penalty kill, the Gophers’ freshman forward Kelly Pannek sent back a rebound of her own to give her team the two-goal advantage. It was only the fifth power-play goal the Badgers allowed all season, killing 113 of 118 attempts. “I mean, when’s the last time Wisconsin even gave up a power play goal?” Gophers’ coach Brad Frost asked. “That was obviously huge for us and was kind of a backbreaker for them.” From that point, it seemed as though UW was just waiting for
