Marquette University Law School poll puts Walker ahead of Burke By Jane Roberts THE DAILY CARDINAL

Gov. Scott Walker maintains a 7 percent lead over Democratic candidate Mary Burke in the run up to November’s gubernatorial election, according to a poll released Wednesday. The latest Marquette University Law School poll shows Walker leading Burke 48 to 41 percent, reflecting little change from the previous poll taken in January. This is the first Marquette poll released since 27,000 pages of emails were made public by the Wisconsin Court of Appeals relating to a criminal

investigation of Walker’s former top aide when he served as Milwaukee’s county executive. Among the voters who have read or heard about the emails, 43 percent say they have a less favorable view of Walker, while 53 percent say the emails have made no difference. Based on responses from all 801 voters polled, Walker’s approval rating has dropped slightly since January, from 51 to 47 percent. Poll results show Burke is viewed favorably by 19 percent of respondents, with 59 percent saying they do not know enough about her to form an opinion. Voters expressed mixed

views on the direction the state is moving. The poll revealed 54 percent of Wisconsinites say they think it is headed in the right direction, while 42 percent say it is on the wrong track. When asked how Wisconsin compares to other states in job creation, 45 percent say Wisconsin is lagging behind and 80 percent believe the state will fall short of the 250,000 jobs Walker pledged in his 2010 campaign. On Tuesday, Burke unveiled her five-point “Invest for Success” jobs plan, which

Jon Huntsman to speak at commencement By Adelina Yankova THE DAILY CARDINAL

Former Utah governor and U.S. ambassador to China and Singapore Jon Huntsman Jr. will deliver the University of Wisconsin-Madison 2014 spring commencement address, according to a statement Wednesday. Huntsman was a staff assistant for President Ronald Reagan and has since worked under four U.S. presidents. He is also regarded as a business leader and serves on boards for Ford Motor Company, Caterpillar corporation, the U.S. Naval Academy Foundation, the University of Pennsylvania and Huntsman Corporation, a multibillion dollar chemical company founded by his father and for-

merly led by Huntsman himself. Chancellor Rebecca Blank said in the release she is excited about the selection of Huntsman and is eager to hear the advice he has to offer the graduating class. Similarly, senior class Vice President Andrew Bulovsky, who helped select and recommend the speaker as part of the senior class officer team, said in the statement he hopes Huntsman will be able to speak on issues of “finding common ground with others.” “When selecting a commencement speaker, we looked for a respected leader with a positive track record of public service, someone who has shown

Gov. Walker appoints student regent

By McKayla Stitz

Gov. Scott Walker announced the appointment of Nicolas Harsy as a non-traditional student representative on the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents in a March 26 release. Harsy, a UW-Madison junior studying mechanical engineering, enrolled in the United States Marine Corps for the duration of 2008-’13. He toured Afghanistan twice and served in leadership positions such as HQ Platoon Sergeant, Infantry Squad Leader and Squad Pointman during his

The University of WisconsinMadison hosted a seminar Wednesday in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, featuring UW-Madison Law School alumna Velvelea “Vel” Phillips as the keynote speaker.

tour of duty. During his time in the Marines, Harsy achieved the Good Conduct Medal, Combat Action Ribbon and the National Defense Medal award. Upon his honorable discharge, Harsy earned the rank of sergeant. “Nicolas has proven dedication to service and his natural leadership skills will make him a valuable asset to the Board,” Walker said in the release. Harsy’s appointment will become effective May 1, pending approval from the state Senate.

“Every success that we celebrate depends on tireless, passionate and courageous work amongst those that came before us,” Blank said. “We honor Phillips’ commitment and the changes that she brought about.” During her presentation, Phillips discussed events that took place during her terms at the Milwaukee Common Council and throughout her work with civil rights. Additionally, Phillips talked about the tribulations she faced as the first African-American elected to the Milwaukee Common Council, emphasiz-

Throughout her career, Phillips said she also faced adversity from colleagues. “[The] first four years were hard,” she said. “I would say good morning and they would not say it back to me.” Ahmed Mohammed, a UW-Madison senior majoring in neurobiology, math and history, voiced praise for Phillips’ talk. “Phillips is a great story-

Judge denies request to halt gay marriage decision A federal judge denied the state’s request to freeze a decision regarding Wisconsin’s gay marriage ban. U.S. District Court Judge Barbara Crabb denied the state’s request Monday to stay a decision in a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union. The state, led by Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen, had asked the judge to hold further action on the case until the Wisconsin Supreme Court issues a ruling in another gay marriage case, the Wisconsin State Journal reports. The ACLU filed the lawsuit in February on behalf of four Wisconsin same-sex couples. The organization has since added four more couples to the list of plaintiffs. Crabb wrote in the court order that to issue the stay “would serve no purpose but to delay the case.” State attorneys had hoped to halt action on the case until the state Supreme Court rendered a decision in a case concerning the constitutionality of Wisconsin’s domestic partnership policy.

Senior class Treasurer Sarah Neibart said she approves and supports the selection of Huntsman as someone who can promote class unity. “We just went out into the university for the last four years and had our different paths, and commencement this year is gonna be really a time that we’re all coming together,” Neibart said. “I think it’s really important to have someone who is strong, but not divisive and having someone who’s bipartisan kind of really fits that description.” She added most student feedback has been positive, though there have been some mixed reactions in part because of some people’s lack of familiarity with the speaker. “There has been a little negative feedback, but I think when people find out a little bit more about the governor a lot of that will be alleviated,” Neibart said. The commencement ceremony will be held at Camp Randall Stadium May 17 at noon and will kick off a new tradition of combined ceremonies for bachelor’s and master’s degree candidates.

poll from page 1 includes investing in industry clusters, strengthening Wisconsin’s workforce and focusing on small business development. Following the release of the Marquette poll, Burke’s Communications Director Joe Zepecki released a statement emphasizing Burke’s plan as a way to grow Wisconsin’s economy and move the state in a new direction. “Not only are Walker and his allies’ unprecedented amount of early, false, negative attacks on Mary Burke not working, voters know, by an overwhelming margin, that Walker’s economic plans aren’t working either,” Zepecki said. The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 3.5 percent.

Sustainability Committee discusses Green Fund future

Fossil Free UW Coalition representative Teresa Arrate stresses the importance for ASM to voice an opinion on divestment.

Group urges ASM to take stance on fossil fuel divestment By Maija Inveiss THE DAILY CARDINAL

The Fossil Free University of Wisconsin Coalition presented a divestment resolution encouraging the UW Foundation to stop the usage of fossil fuels at a Associated Students of Madison Student Council meeting Wednesday. The Fossil Free UW Coalition is composed of registered student organizations. The groups’ main mission is to divest from fossil fuel companies on the UW-Madison campus. There are 380 colleges and universities that have created coalitions. According to coalition representative Teresa Arrate, Madison and Dane County, as well as many other cities and counties, have supported the divestment of fossil fuels. Coalition representative Kaja Rebane also added that divestment is a strategic campaign where it begins by stimulating public conversation. “We have a chance to make a difference,” Rebane said. Student council representatives had mixed feelings on this resolution. “The best tactic is to take our money out of [large fossil fuel companies’] money,” Student Services Finance Committee Chair David Vines said.

Other representatives felt that divestment was not the best way to solve climate change. “I think there is no debate that climate change is a huge issue … I personally do not believe that divestment is the way to do this, but I think the best way would be some kind of form of targeting investing,” representative Steven Hughes. Shared Governance Chair Sarah Neibart suggested that a shared governance committee needed to be created along with the divestment resolution to help further discussion on this issue. The representatives agreed and this amendment, as well as the original divestment resolution, passed 18-6 with two abstentions. Vines, and SSFC representatives Justin Bloesch and Brett Ducharme also presented the proposed eligibility criteria for the General Student Services Fund. Ducharme explained that the criteria’s goal is to focus more on the core programming aspect instead of direct services. “The new eligibility criteria does a fantastic job of allowing this type of access to General Student Services Fund while also making sure that the fund is … less vulnerable to rapid inflation and more secure,” Vines said.

The Associated Students of Madison Sustainability Committee met Wednesday to discuss future projects under the recently approved 2015 Green Fund. In November 2013, ASM approved an $80,000 allocation of student segregated fees for the initiative that promotes sustainability projects within the university. The ASM Nominations Board is currently reviewing applications for an advisory board that would oversee and approve proposed projects. These projects, which aim to introduce new ideas involving sustainability and environmental awareness, must be proposed by a registered student organization. Committee member Jennifer Sharpe recently created her own RSO to apply for funding, with the project focusing on the introduction of recyclable containers into the UW-Madison din-

ing halls. The containers would be designed and produced by Sharpe’s company, Serving Earth, and would be made solely of recyclable materials. Sharpe is applying for a $20,000 Green Fund grant to produce 4,000 containers. She said she was prompted to pursue the project after she read an article about a Florida school taking on the project and thought to herself, “I can do that, but better.” Sharpe said she has received positive feedback from numerous university sources and projects the plan will take action during next year’s spring semester. Other projects within the university’s dining halls were discussed by committee members, including the Food Recovery and Campus Kitchen campaigns. Both aim to bring other sources of sustainability and waste reduction to campus. —Matthew Michaletz

Kramer faces possible criminal charges The Waukesha County District Attorney’s Office confirmed Wednesday that Wisconsin state Rep. Bill Kramer, R-Waukesha, is facing possible criminal charges for an alleged sexual assault stemming from Muskego, Wis. Kramer was accused in late February of groping a woman during a trip to Washington, D.C., and making inappropriate comments to another woman on the return flight. He was removed from his position earlier this month due to these allegations. The district attorney’s office is reviewing Kramer’s criminal reference, which was confirmed

by Julie Delain, a supervisor in the office. Delain confirmed the referral came from the Muskego Police Department, according to the Wisconsin State Journal. Brad Schimel, Waukesha County district attorney and Republican candidate for attorney general, was quoted in the Waukesha NOW newspaper saying the criminal referral involves sexual assault allegations. In addition to these accusations, Kramer is also subject to a personnel investigation regarding allegations about the fundraising trip to Washington, D.C., according to the Wisconsin State Journal.

The mis-swipe will haunt Jeffrey Hammonds for the rest of his life.

Horrified bachelor inadvertently leftswipes most beautiful woman on Tinder By Brett Klinkner The Daily Cardinal

Sources close to the crisis have confirmed that Jeffrey Hammonds has entered a state of harrowing paralysis after subconsciously left-swiping the most breathtakingly gorgeous woman ever to grace Tinder. Eyewitness reports suggest that Hammonds became impatient and lackadaisical after 15 consecutive, uninterrupted minutes perusing the popular dating app and “methodical Tindering”—meticulously evaluating each new female and judging her attractiveness with certainty—which led to his reprehensible fault. The 23 year-old bank teller recklessly proceeded to engage in a session of “rapid swipe”— where the user prioritizes speed over accuracy—when his right thumb slid the impossibly beautiful face of “Ana, 22” off the left side of his iPhone screen just before he could realize what a drastic, life-shattering mistake he was making. “Green heart... red ‘X’...

green... red... heart... heart... X.’” Hammonds said, understandably shaken when we caught up with him for comment. He was unable to confirm or deny, but we speculate that he did not even catch a glimpse of mutual Facebook friends who could potentially put him in contact with this stunning temptress that entered and exited his life so suddenly. Hammonds’ fateful grumblings impart upon us all that Tinder’s fragile binary system should not be taken for granted. The attraction affirmation of a ‘Green Heart’ and the everlasting rejection of the opposing ‘Red X’ are mere centimeters apart, the seemingly trivial decision of which direction to swipe altering the user’s entire life trajectory. Much like in life, there is no ‘undo’ feature offered by the intricate world of Tinder, mercilessly leaving you questioning what could have been. At press time, Hammonds had been alerted that he matched with a 24-year-old named Christina who, by comparison, resembled a hideous piece of gutter trash.

Reports are in that numerous star athletes from across the nation, both collegiate and professional, are not cocky pieces of shit like we all initially thought. Drawn from postgame interviews and press conferences alike, these reports have revealed that even the most hated, pompous scumbag superstars actually possess a great deal of humility. This series of shocking revelations has shed due light on the character of these elite athletes, who are not shiteating, self-centered egomaniacs, but rather sincere, selfless individuals who have truly been “humbled” by the successes they have endured. These findings are certain to change everyone’s perception of these athletes, as such responses to generic inquiries of sports journalism are widely held to be 100 percent genuine, mindful and coherent. “Man, honestly, I just feel

humbled to be mentioned alongside those other guys,” one record-breaking, full-of-shit athlete told reporters who totally fucking bought it. “Wow, I am truly humbled. I just feel blessed that I was given the opportunity. Only one man to thank—that’s God,” said another spoiled rotten athletic specimen, completely disregarding the coaches, teammates and friends that helped him along the way. Some of these hubristic ass-hats even implicated fellow players, coaches and trainers, lying through their teeth as they insisted that their mediocre teammates and serviceable staff deserve all the credit. At press time, an unfathomably conceited National Basketball Association player reassured us all that the glory of his game-winning shot be to God, in no way exploiting the concept of a divine being to project delusions of self-grandeur and deceive the public that he is morally respectable and modest.

Abstract cave paintings archaeologists have dubbed “useless bullshit” were discovered at the Creswell Crags gorge in Derbyshire, England, late Tuesday. The paintings, created anywhere from 43,000 to 10,000 years ago, are the oldest nonrepresentational artwork ever discovered and “completley useless from an academic standpoint,”

Dr. Harold Francovis, their discoverer, said. “Oh, a squiggly line! And some random red lines! Thanks, cavemen!” Francovis said. “Thank you for the profound glimpse into your culture. Seriously, we might as well scrub the walls clean.” Francovis says he is baffled by the very existence of the cave etchings. “Clearly, the less talented cave painters somehow gained con-

trol of the cave,” Francovis said. “How they did that, with their exceptionally low levels of intelligence, even by neanderthal standards, is a mystery.” Francovis says he was shattered by the groundbreaking discovery. “I was honsetly hoping to never find anything like this,” Francovis said. “I specifically focused my career on cave art to avoid the abstract. I always assumed neanderthals weren’t smart enough to be pretentious!”

Future Islands will play at the High Noon Saloon Thursday, March 27 at 8:30 p.m.

Future Islands’ ‘Singles’ finally delivers The Daily Cardinal

Future Islands have packed their bags to leave their past home of indie rock limbo and are getting ready to move to the top with their brand new album Singles. Riddled with songs of lively themes and foot tapping beats, this captivating assortment of tunes has made the sound of Future Islands well worth listening. Contrary to past albums, the tracks of Singles are clean. Gone are the days of the blurry ’80s atmosphere with faded vocals

and no longer is every song dripping in romantic tragedy. This change is especially obvious in the opening track, “Seasons (Waiting on You).” It hugs you with the newfound potential of the band. “Seasons” was clearly made to consume an audience. Not just a small audience like those in the bars they typically entertained in the past, but one that reaches all the way back to the rafters. If you like “Seasons” you are likely to dig the rest of what Singles has to offer. Each track is focused on creating the desired

sound with which Future Islands are pushing to shape their future. The band is at a pivotal point in their career and they knew better than to leave even one sloppy moment on this album. One word to describe this album is finally. Future Islands have always had the capacity to make an album bursting with hitworthy singles, however they have always fallen short. Singles represents how this band should have sounded from the start.

So, “The Grand Budapest Hotel” came out and I saw it, but before we get to that I’d like to take a minute to frame the film with two masterpieces from last year. 2013 saw three of our greatest filmmakers produce works that looked at the lives of their creators in painful, almost heartbreaking detail. In the Coen Brothers’ “Inside Llewyn Davis,” it isn’t just the artistic struggle of the protagonist that makes him tragic, it’s the profound, all-encompassing loss he feels throughout the film. Trying hard not to spoil too much of the film, it’s very easy to read it as Joel imagining life without Ethan and vice versa, and in the framework of a creative partnership the whole thing is really tragic and makes me really, really worried about the Coens. Also in the vein of brilliant artists making me sad about them, Hayao Miyazaki created what will hopefully be his last ‘last film,’ not because I want him to stop working but because he created the most perfect swan song an artist could ask for. “The Wind Rises” is a gorgeous reflection on a life spent in the pursuit of realizing inspiration. It looks at our dreams, how we chase them and what happens when we finally catch them. Miyazaki practically handwrites “good-bye” across every moment of his nearly auto-biographical film. I bring these two films up because I think “The Grand Budapest Hotel” both fits into this idea of ‘artists making films that are not-so-secretly about themselves’ and expands it into ‘artists making films about why they make films the way they make films.’ Anderson’s films are defined by their artifice. The dollhouse look, the diorama style, the actors pinned in frame like butterflies in slides— it’s all deliberate work done to create entire worlds founded on order, form and perfect, rigid structure. This strikes us as being affected or too stylized or ‘off from reality or whatever, because it is. The beautiful order of his worlds stands in contrast to the absurdity, the chaos, the senselessness of the universe we live in and the tension between the two—the conflict between ordered and random, the loss of this control over your world—is at the heart of much of his work. And this conflict is hinted at throughout his work, played with in regards to whatever larger themes he’s working with at any point. A friend is very fond of pointing out Anderson’s penchant for bashing noses and tousling hair, little ways to disrupt his order, play on this contrast between a world as it should be and the world as it is—messy, scary and random. It’s this thread that Anderson brings front and center in “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” both explaining and exploring the role it plays in everything he’s done

thus far. It’s his most violent film, it puts sex on display, and while it is maybe the most quintessentially ‘Wes Anderson’ film he’s ever made—the symmetry, the patterning, the color palettes, it’s all turned far past 11—it’s also the film most at war with its structure and order. There isn’t time to go too far into detail, but there is at one point a shootout that perfectly exemplifies this conflict. The chaos and noise, the messiness, the violence of the shootout all raging inside of the perfectly clean, constructed space, the pinnacle of Anderson’s form and organizational creation, exemplifies the conflict between his worlds and the worlds outside of them. And beyond that it’s gorgeous—the madness set in beautiful frames, shots matched so well they’re practically jump cuts somehow accentuating the perfect order of the film while jolting us out of it. My jaw literally dropped. I could (and almost definitely will) go on at length about all this, but the short version I gave my friend after we saw it was, “Wes Anderson understands the world will never be like the little dioramas he makes, which he finds terrifying and sad, but he’s going to keep making them because they’re very, very beautiful.” For me, this is what his films have always been getting at—the loss of control we all experience as we abandon childhood, the narrowing of the world as it grows scary and falls apart, and trying to get back to that point where all the pieces fit together, usually framed around families, loss and belonging. He’s complicated, he’s my favorite, and for him to make a film that directly addresses not just his feelings about himself as an artist, but about his art and the world, why he makes his art the way he does, to examine the hows and whys of everything he does, is remarkable. Just a final thought on his framing. He has always used framing devices to distance his stories, to create the gap between his worlds and the world we all live in, but in “Budapest” he stacks frames like matryoshka dolls, going deeper and deeper to get closer to the truth. The conversations between two characters that are the basis for most of the film are presented in extreme widescreen, while the adventures of Gustave M. and Zero all occur in a standard four-bythree frame which seems to almost literally place them in a box. They’re sectioned off and defined by the “real world,” they’re an acknowledged fantasy, and the worlds themselves are toys. Which brings us to the end—we telescope back out through a series of frames to arrive at what we’re meant to understand as the “real” world, our world, but even this is presented as a box—a little demonstration of what this world is to Anderson—the final frame showing a young woman, surrounded by a graveyard, completely lost in the world of her book.

Cardinal endorses Leland Pan for county Board

wo years ago, Leland Pan beat John Magnino for the District 5 seat on the Dane County Board of Supervisors. This time around, Pan is up against College Democrats President Chris Hoffman. The District 5 seat, typically held by a University of WisconsinMadison student or recent graduate, represents the campus and surrounding area. Students make up the majority of constituents Hoffman and Pan, both UW-Madison seniors, are vying to represent. The District 5 supervisor helps create county ordinances, levy taxes and approve laws regarding law enforcement. The Board also allots money in the county budget for homeless, youth and mental health services, among others. Hoffman and Pan have taken similar positions on some issues, including increasing sustainability efforts in the county and involving more student

voices on the Board. We believe that either candidate will do a good job of bringing these issues to the forefront of discourse. We applaud Hoffman’s goals for sustainability, campus safety and student involvement. However, Pan’s additional commitment to addressing racial disparities and homeless issues in Dane County makes him the best candidate for the District 5 seat. Additionally, his knowledge of labor issues and grassroots activism makes him an important voice on the Board. Pan is progressive, but he’s also pragmatic. He understands the nuances of county issues, and while we have no qualms with bringing fresh perspectives to the Board, Pan’s effort to increase the voice for people from historically underrepresented groups is important to consider. Although both candidates want

dailycardinal.com

to improve safety on campus, Pan wants to do it in a way that does not unintentionally foster fear or stereotype toward people of color in the community. Racial disparities in Dane County’s criminal justice system, around the community and even on this campus are still critical issues plaguing Dane County. Pan’s experience with outreach makes him the best candidate to address these issues. While on the Board, he has made it a priority. As a county supervisor, Pan is involved on the Cultural Affairs Commission; Environment, Agriculture & Natural Resources Committee; Equal Opportunity Commission; and the Homeless Issues Committee. It’s apparent that Pan has learned a lot while serving on the Board. If elected, we have no doubt Hoffman would learn a lot as well. Still, The Daily Cardinal would like to see Pan’s efforts continued for another term. His commitment to addressing grassroots issues in Dane County make him a more well-rounded candidate for the Board.

One of the best ways to get involved with county issues is to vote in the Dane County Board election Monday, April 1.

Students make up a significant portion of constituents in Madison and have the ability to enact significant change on the county level. For this

reason, we have an obligation to participate in local government. However, getting UW-Madison students involved on the county level has been an ongoing struggle for the Board.

Pan’s additional commitment to addressing racial disparities as well as homeless and labor issues in Dane County makes him the best candidate for the District 5 seat.

As taxpayers, students should care about how their money is being spent in Dane County. Empowering students to get involved on the county level is definitely a priority for this board, and if re-elected, we hope Pan will reach out to all students on campus. One of the best ways to get involved with county issues is to vote in the Dane County Board election Monday, April 1. Although both candidates have the qualifications and experience to make successful supervisors, The Daily Cardinal endorses incumbent Leland Pan for Dane County Board, District 5. Who do you feel is the best candidate for the job of county supervisor? Do you support Leland Pan or Chris Hoffman? What issues on campus need to be addressed? Do you feel that reaching out through local government is the best way to effect the issues that you care the most about?

Language exploration expands cultural knowledge among learners MICHAEL PODGERS opinion columnist

panish is a great language to learn. It’s great if we want to study the rich culture of the Iberian Peninsula or visit our many Spanish-speaking neighbors to the south in Latin America. Chinese is a popular and frankly pragmatic language to learn if we’re interested in going into business in a world where China is unquestionably a big player. French retains its status as language of diplomacy, culture, elegance, fashion and haute culture. Dutch is useful if you’re looking for an insightful way to make fun of Belgians.

It is an experience that is about people, places, history and one of the qualities that makes human existence so exceptional: linguistic ability.

As students at UW-Madison, we are all blessed with access to one of the most impressive foreign language programs of any university in the country. If there is a language you want to learn, there is probably a path to do so while in school here. Van Hise is a veritable Tower of Babel. Enter any classroom and the chances of encountering a chronology of the languages taught there on chalk boards and discarded handouts are not just great, they’re inevitable. Although we have access to the more popular modern languages people are learning these

days, we shouldn’t underestimate the value of going out on a limb and taking a totally uncommon language for a semester or two. Or more if true interest strikes.

Learning languages is not just a process or root memorization and linguistic endeavor, but an indepth cultrual expedition.

Last fall I did just that when I started taking Dutch. Since I discovered Amsterdam early that year on two other trips to the Netherlands and Belgium, I became intent on learning the language so I could develop a more intimate connection with a world I had quickly fallen in love with. Granted, I’m also a geek when it comes to learning languages. I want to learn multiple languages and enjoy the process. I am a German major and I’ve taken four semesters of French between high school and college. It’s not such a crazy thing for me to start a new language now. I could have just as easily taken something like Chinese, Spanish or even Italian and remained within the realm of relatively conventional modern languages to learn. Breaking from this mould though has been an interesting experience to say the least and one, which I wouldn’t dare do differently. When we take a language that is really off the beaten path, we get to learn about a world that is both fresh and new, but also discover one that in many ways might be more familiar than we ever thought. On a daily basis we use words

that derive from Dutch: pinkie and cookie are just two examples. Yet, these are the things I didn’t know before, nor did I take the effort to learn about the deep cultural influence the Netherlands has had on the United States. The municipal flag for New York City is blue, white and orange for example, because New York used to be New Amsterdam. Languages act as the doorway to a new culture. In order to understand a culture, we must have at least a basic understanding of the language, which also gives insight into the strange and unique ways communities interact that also allows outsiders a way to take part in these interactions. Learning languages is not just a process or root memorization and linguistic endeavor, but an in depth cultural expedition.

a new alphabet and explore the process of learning to write as an adult. Or try your hand at Norwegian and discover why there are two translation options on Wikipedia (seriously, there are two: norsk bokmal and nynorsk). I don’t know, but if you find out hit me up with the answer. While they might not always come off as practical, there is still value in learning a language that is less commonly learned: We discover totally new cultures that will give us insight about the world from perspectives we never thought of before. We will challenge ourselves both academically and personally to think in a way that is not only new, but

also more creative. And we will discover the value of learning a language that isn’t just good for our resume or doing business. Language is a cultural and emotional experience and worth the effort. It is an experience that is about people, places, history and one of the qualities that makes human existence so exceptional: linguistic ability. Is being bilingual an essential asset with today’s global interconnectedness, especially regarding economics? Tell us about your experience with the language programs offered here at UW-Madison.

As students at UW-Madison, we are all blessed with access to one of the most impressive foreign language programs of any university in the country. Although we can certainly do this with more commonly learned languages, the value in taking the plunge and learning something that’s a little bit “out there” is that it will introduce us to something fundamentally unique and different. Take Swedish and learn about the land that is behind IKEA or Swahili and delve into the life and times of contemporary East Africa. Take Arabic or Russian or Tibetan and not only learn a new language, but

Men’s Hockey

Women take home awards from NCAAs, men prepare for looming championships By Sam Karp THE DAILY CARDINAL

Men’s swimming and diving head coach Whitney Hite has high expectations for his team coming into the NCAA Men’s Swimming Championship in Austin, Texas, beginning Thursday. UW is coming off a strong showing at the Big Ten Championships in February, when the team broke four school records. Junior Nick Caldwell broke the school record for 200-yard freestyle, which stood for nearly three decades, with a time of 15:02.16, besting the old record of 15:03.87. Freshman Cannon Clifton of Irving, Texas, joined in on the fun, breaking the UW 100yard freestyle record of 43.48 in the event’s preliminaries, eventually tying for 11th place in the event’s final. Junior Nicholas Schafer, an Australian native, broke his own school record for the 100yard backstroke with a time of 52.88, good enough for a fifth

place finish. The UW 800-yard freestyle relay also broke school records in the Big Ten Championships with a time of 6:19.22, which was good enough for a second place finish. Following these strong performances UW finished seventh in the Big Ten Championships with 299.5 points, while defending NCAA Champion Michigan took home the Big Ten crown with 889 points, 324 more than runner-up Indiana. The Wisconsin women’s team kicked off the Badgers’ NCAA Championship run strong last Thursday, with junior Ivy Martin and the relay team finishing within the top eight in the 50-yard and 200yard freestyle, respectively. The relay team also set both Big Ten and school records for the 200yard freestyle, while Martin earned All-American honors for the second straight year. The second day of competition brought more success for

the relay team, again breaking conference records with a time of 3:13.85 in the 400-yard freestyle, good for eighth in the finals. Wisconsin finished the NCAA tournament in 13th place with a total of 78 points, which put it at third among Big Ten teams, behind only Minnesota and Indiana. Hoping to emulate the women’s success, the men’s team will be represented by defending NCAA 200-yard backstroke champion, junior Drew teDuits, and the 800yard freestyle relay team, comprised of freshman Matt Huchins, Caldwell, Clifton and senior Tyler Hines. teDuits will have high expectations for himself, after seeing success in the Austin pool earlier this year in the Texas Invitational, finishing second in the 200-yard backstroke. The men’s NCAA Championships will begin Thursday, with the last day of races taking place Saturday.

Wenger should be fired if he does not win the FA Cup JONAH BELECKIS real talk The first half of the English Premier League season was riddled with constant questions from fans and media alike regarding Arsenal’s status as an elite title contender. Arsenal’s ongoing trophy drought is no secret, so when it was sitting in first place after Christmas, it was deservedly the topic of discussion. Those talks have now dramatically shifted to a point where people find themselves asking, “What went wrong?” After an abysmal 6-0 drumming at Stamford Bridge to first-place Chelsea Saturday, the Gunners needed a response in their game back home against Swansea City Tuesday.

If Arsenal cannot end its trophy drought this season, then manager and club need to mutually part ways.

Arsenal went down early thanks to Wilfried Bony’s 11th minute header, but two goals from Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud one minute apart appeared to signal good things. However, the final result was not what it was built up to be. Mathieu Flamini’s own goal in the 90th minute was emblematic of Arsenal’s season as it now sits only six points ahead of Everton in fourth place, the final spot to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

As every player in a red shirt slouched with their hands stuck to their hips, it became all the more evident the Gunners would need a miracle to win the league title this season. So, what went wrong? There are the practical answers: Arsenal has been dealing with injury troubles and they lack a center forward who can give Giroud a break to name a few. The answer I propose delves deeper. If Arsenal does not win the FA Cup this season, their manager, Arsene Wenger, should part ways with the team. The Gunners sit where they are now because not only do they not win big games, but they have been humiliated by the three teams that are above them in the standings. They lost 6-3 to Manchester City, 5-1 to Liverpool and 6-0 to Chelsea in Wenger’s 1,000th game as manager. Arsenal has given up the fourth fewest goals in the EPL (36) and 17 of those came in three games. To be taken seriously as a title contender, you cannot put in those dreadful performances against the elite teams in the league. Wenger has been a brilliant manager. There are few in the world who are better at developing talent and building teams from the ground up. His consistency at the helm is commendable, but the team simply needs to go in a different direction in order to get over the final hump. The culture of world soccer is changing, and Arsenal needs to go in a different direction, and fast. For years, Wenger was criticized—although all of the blame should not fall on him— for not spending money in the

transfer market. Then this summer, the ship appeared to turn when they dropped something around $70 million on Mesut Özil. While the German international has put in some strong performances, this season has been a relative disappointment to his own lofty standards. Given years of opportunity, Wenger has not been able to compete with the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea with his style of development. Yes, what Arsenal does is considered to be the right and moral way to build a team, but in this day and age should fans for a club of Arsenal’s standards be forced to sit over eight years without winning anything of note? Wenger has a golden opportunity in front of him to salvage his reputation and his team’s season. He has to beat Wigan Athletic of the second division and then the winner between Hull City and Sheffield United—who currently sit 10th in the third division—to bring home the FA Cup. If Arsenal cannot end its trophy drought this season, then manager and club need to mutually part ways. Winning a trophy this year and a successful summer where more talent is developed and brought in could be enough to have Wenger realistically challenging for a title next season, but how many times will fans have to wait until next season? What should Arsenal do when Arsene Wenger’s contract expires at the end of the season? Do they still have a chance at the league championship this season? Let Jonah know what you think by emailing jonah.beleckis@ dailycardinal.com.

Badgers take on former rivals in NCAA Tournament By Adee Feiner THE DAILY CARDINAL

In a unique way, the University of North Dakota owes Wisconsin a thank you. If the Badgers hadn’t won the Big Ten Championship game last weekend and secured a top-seed in the NCAA tournament, UND wouldn’t have made it in. The former WCHA rivals will meet for the first time this season when No. 4 seed North Dakota (23-13-3) takes on No. 1 seed Wisconsin (24-10-2) in the NCAA Midwest Regional tournament Friday at the U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio. “I have been watching them … they haven’t changed in the 12 years I’ve been here,” head coach Mike Eaves said. “You know they’re going to play hard, they’re going to play physical and they’re going to play a pace.” The all-time series between the two teams is 86-65-12 in favor of Wisconsin. However, in the past 10 games UND leads 5-3-2. Additionally, North Dakota won the past two NCAA post-season matchups between these programs. “We’ve seen them a lot over the last three years and we’ve played them quite a bit,” senior forward Jefferson Dahl said. “So we know what they’re going to

bring, and they know what we’re going to bring.” The Badgers are fresh off a thrilling overtime win against Ohio State in which they erased a 4-2 deficit late in the third period, eventually beating the Buckeyes 5-4 in overtime. Along with being crowned inaugural Big Ten Champions, they also earned one of four No. 1 seeds in the NCAA tournament. Wisconsin has secured a top spot on seven previous occasions, most recently in 2006 and 2010. Their trip to the finals in 2006 proved to be the ultimate success story, with the Badgers bringing back a national championship. Whichever team comes out on top in Friday night’s game will go on to play the winner of Ferris State and Colgate. The Badgers have taken on a new perspective the latter half of their season. They equate it to climbing a mountain, weathering the challenges that lie ahead. As they continue their steady journey to the top, opponents and games have only increased in difficulty. This weekend’s competition will prove to be no different. “Getting matched up there with North Dakota tells me that the gauntlet starts right now,” Eaves said. “We’re starting with a foe that we have a history with, so it should be an awesome game.”

Bears provide unique look on defense By Jack Baer THE DAILY CARDINAL

While the No. 2 seed Badgers (12-6 Big Ten, 28-7 overall) won’t be facing the opponent they might have expected in the Sweet 16, they will assuredly be preparing for a team unique both in its personnel and defense. Wisconsin will head to Anaheim’s Honda Center to take on the West region’s No. 6 seed, Baylor Bears (9-9 Big 12, 26-11). Much like Wisconsin, Baylor excelled in non-conference play, going 12-1 while reaching the Associated Press Top 10, then hit a wall in conference play, starting their Big 12 schedule 2-7. Since then the Bears have recovered and reached the Big 12 final, where they ended up losing to Iowa State. In the NCAA tournament, the Bears first knocked off No. 11 seed Nebraska 76-40 and upset No. 3 seed Creighton 85-55 in a match that could be politely described as a slaughter. Player-wise for Baylor, the story starts with one of the most unique players in the country, sophomore center and possible alien Isaiah Austin. The California-born, Texasraised former five-star recruit made headlines earlier in the season when he publicly revealed

SHOAIB ALTAF/CARDINAL FILE PHOTO

Baylor’s constantly shifting defense is meant to block 3-point shooters like senior guard Ben Brust. through an ESPN feature that he had lost all vision in his right eye due to an injury sustained in middle school. However, that lack of depth perception hasn’t stopped him from becoming a fearsome shot blocker, averaging 3.2 blocks per game. “Yeah, Isaiah Austin has been blocking shots his whole life,” sophomore forward Sam Dekker said. “He’s always been the tallest kid on the court with the longest arms. So he’s a good shot blocker. He’s going to go after it.” At 7 foot 1 inches tall and

225 pounds, Austin measures one inch taller and ten pounds lighter than Wisconsin’s own lanky center, junior Frank Kaminsky. This matchup will be key for the Badgers, as Austin’s length and agility could create problems for the offensively versatile Kaminsky. “Frank is one of the best pump faking, footwork, finesse players I think I’ve ever played with,” Dekker said. “When you can use those moves in there and just kind of confuse some guys with some moves that are pretty unorthodox, I think Frank can

use that to his advantage.“ After Austin, the Bears’ frontcourt is highlighted by senior forward Cory Jefferson, the teams leading scorer at 13.2 points per game and rebounder at 8.2 rebounds per game. The backcourt starts efficient junior point guard Kenny Chery (2.31 assist-to-turnover ratio) and sharp shooting senior guard Brady Heslip (.468 3-point-percentage on 250 attempts). Chery and Heslip combined to make 9-of-12 3-pointers in Baylor’s obliteration of Creighton in the Round of 32.

As a team, the Bears shot 61.1 percent from deep and 63.8 percent overall. “[I had] the family over yesterday and watched what they did to Creighton, unfortunately, I walked past my wife as she was talking to her sister, and I heard her say she was packing lightly. That was one bad sign,” said head coach Bo Ryan. “You don’t beat Creighton by 30, but it happened. You know that’s a pretty formidable foe.” On defense, Baylor head coach Scott Drew is known for his at-times smothering matchup zone, which gave the threepoint heavy Creighton nightmares all game. The country’s No. 2 offense according to the Ken Pomeroy ratings, only shot 5-of-24 from deep. As another team with a topfive Ken-Pom offense that likes to shoot the three, it will be imperative for the Badgers to adjust where Creighton failed miserably. “It’s basically a 1‑3‑1, but then they have their reads off of it and their kicks. One guy bumps another guy, depending on if you’re overloading or using short corners more than maybe high‑lows,” Ryan said. “There weren’t too many weak spots last night, that’s for sure. And who knows? They might play us man‑to‑man for 40 minutes.”
