Badgers brought down in Final Four Harrison’s 3-pointer ends Wisconsin’s title hopes in Texas By Jack Baer THE DAILY CARDINAL

ARLINGTON, Texas—Sixtyseven teams walk away from the tournament in heartbreak. They can lose big and they can lose at the last second. They can lose due to a lack of execution and they can lose because the other team has the game of its life. It will hurt, but that’s just college basketball. We trade a very-likely eventual defeat for the thrill of a 68-team singleelimination tournament. This was the lesson for the Badgers (30-8 overall) as their season came to an end on a deep, final-seconds 3-pointer from Kentucky freshman guard Aaron Harrison that denied them a chance to play for the national championship. “When it comes down to a

sions that were more crucial. We just came up one short.” The Badgers fell in front of an NCAA Final Four record crowd of 79,444 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Suspect commits sexual assault in dormitory University of WisconsinMadison police are searching for a man who sexually assaulted a victim in a campus residence hall early Sunday morning, according to a Timely Warning released by University of Wisconsin Police Department. The assault took place at approximately 1:30 a.m. Sunday morning in an undisclosed residence hall. Police describe the suspect as a thin, white male between the ages of 18 and 20 years old, approximately 5’10” to 6’0” tall, with shoulder-length brown hair, according to the release. UWPD urges anyone with information on the assault to contact the department by calling 608-264-COPS. The Timely Warning release was sent out to the entire UW-Madison campus as part of an effort to comply with the federal Clery Act, which requires universities to report severe crimes that take place on campuses to the entire student body in a timely manner.

Kentucky’s athleticism gave the Badgers a challenge that by no means overwhelmed them, but they still were unable to sufficiently counter. The Wildcats finished with 46 points in the

paint, 23 second-chance points and highlight dunk after highlight dunk. “We just did not make enough plays on the inside. [Kentucky] was able to get things that we were not giving up this entire tournament,” said junior forward Frank Kaminsky. “We would have to have set the tone physically more, but we didn’t and they came out on top.” Adding on to that, Kentucky had only four turnovers, which was a season low, and zero in the second half. The Badgers came into the matchup carrying the banner of strong fundamentals: outside shooting, disciplined play and they also showed up with their usually low eight turnovers and 8-of-20 3-point shooting. Kentucky’s banner held ludicrous offensive-rebounding totals, which Wisconsin did an OK job of limiting by rebounding 21 of Kentucky’s 32 misses. To compare, Michigan only rebounded 10 of Kentucky’s 27 misses in the Elite Eight.

Police able to control State Street gathering after men’s basketball loss Saturday By Patricia Johnson THE DAILY CARDINAL

TOMMY YONASH/THE DAILY CARDINAL

Badger fans still gathered Saturday evening despite the loss after the game against the Kentucky Wildcats.

Madison police said defeated Badger fans maintained composure when they took to the streets Saturday after the University of Wisconsin-Madison basketball team’s heartbreaking loss against Kentucky in a 74-73 game. A few thousand fans gathered on State Street approximately 15 minutes after the game, as opposed to the swift rush of 8,000-10,000 fans eager to celebrate after last week’s victory over Arizona, according to Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain. The tone of the evening lacked the same enthusiasm as the previous Badger game with more arrests and minor injuries, according to University of Wisconsin Police Department spokesperson Marc Lovicott. DeSpain said Madison police made “a dozen” arrests that

include a combination of citations and detentions. Police attributed most arrests to fighting, starting fires and “body passing,” according to Lovicott. DeSpain recalled one individual who climbed on top of a covered sidewalk near a construction site on State Street and lept into the crowd. Some fans in the crowd sustained minor injuries as a result of flying beer cans and other causes. DeSpain said some fans were examined for head injuries and one fan was seen by emergency services for smashing their hand on glass while inside a bar. UW-Madison freshman Story Sandy was rushed to the UW hospital with a head injury after being struck by a flying object in the crowd. Sandy said he did not experience any bleeding or deformities as a result of the blow, but he did

Michael Podgers sex columnist Dear Dirty Bird, I’m watching “Orange is the New Black” on Netflix and it’s the first time I’ve been exposed to trans issues. Although I feel like I’m an open-minded person, I realize I don’t know a lot about gender identity and was wondering if you could sort through all these terms.

with a combination of these is intersex. Our biological sex doesn’t dictate either our gender expression or identity. Gender Identity: Our gender identity is how we individually identify our gender. Do we call ourselves a man, a woman, genderqueer or something else? Some of this has to do with hormones and biological chemistry, in addition to how we interpret this chemistry. This also determines what pronouns we use. A term thrown around with gender identity is

ecause of shows like “Orange is the New Black” and celebrities like Laverne Cox and Chaz Bono, the visibility of people who are trans has grown significantly in the last few years. For a lot of people who are not trans or allies though, this can raise a lot of questions about the actual definitions of sex, gender and sexual orientation. For some people, the semantics (in this case, sementics?) used by people who identify as trans are actually kind of daunting. Breaking down terminology and knowing what these words can mean is a good place to start. It may even help us understand the meaning of our own language! Here’s a nifty explanation of everything we need to know: Sex: This is our biological sex, from the wee-wees to the vajayjays. But in big-kid terms, it’s the objectively measurable organs, hormones and chromosomes each person has. A person with a penis, testes and XY chromosomes is male. A person with a vagina, ovaries and XX chromosomes is female. And a person

“Prefered Gender Pronoun,” or PGP. This is used to ask people whether they use male (he, his, him), female (she, her) or gender neutral pronouns (they, them, their), and is sometimes used as a part of introductions in classrooms and work orientations. Gender Expression: This is how we demonstrate our gender identity. In our society, the majority of men express themselves as masculine, women as feminine and people who are genderqueer as however they feel best, masculine one day, feminine

the next or androgynous. This is a form of expression and identity that is highly fluid though and there’s freedom even to determine what masculine, feminine and androgynous mean. For some people masculine might mean football or action movies, but for others, ballet or live theater. Clothes, behavior and interactions all play into gender expression. These might even change based on who we are around. With gender expression, every day is a chance to express yourself freely!

Heroes of the weekend Tyler Ralston, junior—Tyler Ralston’s best friend, Connor Moore, had too much to drink during the Badger game, and his condition was rapidly deteriorating. With the game on the line, tensions were already at a boiling point within the “Sophomore Slum” apartment, and the owners were starting to regret extending an invitation to Moore, a notoriously sloppy drunk. There was talk of kicking him out. Ralston came to his aid, advocating for Moore with the quick wit and conviction of a seasoned defense attorney. “He won’t puke; he never does. His BAC is higher than both of ours combined,” Ralston told the owner. Ralston’s silver tongue was further put to the test when Moore stumbled into the big-screen television, nearly severing the cable chord. With the entire party now turned against Moore, Ralston somehow bought his friend enough time to see the end of the game. Ralston’s oratory skill and extraordinary persuasiveness make him a hero to us all.

Sexual Orientation: This determines whether we like people of the same sex/gender as our own, opposite ours or both. Sexual orientation is not the same as gender identity or expression and is determined only by what types of people we are physically, spiritually and emotionally attracted to. Those are the basic terms, but there are so many more. One of the least common terms is “cisgender.” This describes a person whose gender identity matches their sex at birth, so someone who has a penis and identifies as a masculine man.

The opposite of this is trans, or transgender. This describes people whose sex and gender identity did not match at birth. Some people who identify as genderqueer identify as trans as well. It’s important to remember that when it rains, it pours, and these terms are no exception. This gives us an opportunity to pull out the “transgender umbrella.” Everybody say, “Ooh... ahh.” A lot of these terms don’t fall under the umbrella term “transgender” and essentially describe any identity or expression playing with the gender binary (the idea that there is only male and female, masculinity and femininity). These might include genderqueer or gender non-conforming, but also drag, which is a performance art in which people dress as the opposite gender for entertainment. Or transvestite, which describes people who enjoy wearing the clothes of the opposite gender. When using these terms, it is important to remember each of us has the ability to define our bodies and minds in the way that best suits us. If we’re not sure how people choose to identify themselves, the safest bet is to ask. A simple “how do you identify” or “what are your PGPs” will do, and if at first you don’t succeed, apologize and move on. As long as we’re compassionate and make a clear effort, we’ll be appreciated and understood ourselves, which is something people of all identities crave.

Gov. Scott Walker signs six bills for veterans’ rights Gov. Scott Walker signed six bills into law Friday supporting veterans, according to a release. “I am honored to sign these bills, which will assist [veterans] in their transition back home and ensure they receive the top medical care they deserve,” Walker said in the release. Assembly Bill 733 allows the Department of Veterans Affairs’ construction of the John R. Moses Skilled Nursing Facility at the King Veterans Home, replacing the “outdated” 200-bed facility. The project is financed with $80 million in program revenue and general fund supported borrowing, according to the bill text.

Rep. Dianne Hesselbein, D-Middleton, co-authored the bill and thanked Walker for supporting the bill in a statement. “It is our obligation to treat our veterans in a manner that retains dignity, compassion and comfort when they most need this level of long-term care,” Hesselbein said in the release. “I am so pleased and grateful to the Governor for agreeing … that it is wise to take advantage of the federal funding that covers much of the project.” Co-author and Sen. Jerry Petrowski, R-Marathon, said in a statement “We have an obligation to care for our veterans, whether

Police arrest Madison woman for impaired driving A Madison woman was arrested Friday after colliding with multiple parked cars in an attempt to flee from Madison police. Police received calls from witnesses at approximately 12:24 a.m., who saw 21-year-old Taylor Barry drive her red Jeep Grand Cherokee into a parked car on the 500 block of West Mifflin Street, according to an incident report. Callers said they watched Barry then hit another nearby parked car while trying to flee the scene, according to the report. The intoxicated driver was seen driving around North Bedford Street and West Washington Avenue before returning to West Mifflin Street again where she proceeded to hit several additional parked cars. Madison police counted five total vehicles damaged by Barry on West Mifflin Street. She refused to submit a breath sample before she was detained in the Dane County Jail for a 12-hour hold.

fans Friday morning to cheer on the Badgers. He was one of 79,444 basketball enthusiasts present Saturday, helping to set a NCAA Final Four attendance record, according to the Associated Press. Jenkins said a substantial crowd of Wisconsinites was present and their energy never waned. “Our students by far were the loudest,” he explained. “Even when we were losing, or after the last shot, we all sang ‘Varsity’ and supported our team. I just think it made us look like the best school that was at the Final Four.” He added that, while the game was an unforgettable experience, his favorite part of the trip was going to an alumni pregame event which was attended by hundreds of Wisconsin graduates and several former UW-Madison basketball players. “It was just such a great atmosphere to be there and see Badgers young and old all cheering for one team,” Jenkins said.

Similarly, UW-Madison sophomore Alex Jenkins said he is proud of the team’s accomplishments thus far and has high hopes for next year and the Badgers’ potential to make the upcoming season “something special.” Jenkins boarded a universityprovided coach bus and headed down to Texas alongside fellow

Walker signs bill expanding town tax incremental financing districts Gov. Scott Walker signed a bill in Rib Mountain Friday making it easier for towns to create tax incremental financing districts, according to a news release. TIF Districts use property taxes from new construction to finance economic develop-

ment projects. Senate Bill 338, introduced by state Sen. Jerry Petrowski, R-Marathon, authorizes certain towns to exercise all of the powers of a city or village to create a TIF District within the town. The town must have a

population of at least 5,000, and the value of all taxable property must be at least $500 million in the year before the town proposes to create the district. Walker said in the release the districts are an “effective economic development tool”

for cities and encourage new business development. “By working together to establish a pro-growth business environment, we help business leaders create jobs and foster Wisconsin’s entrepreneurial spirit,” Walker said in the release.

Despite the incident, Sandy did not confirm that the crowd was too aggressive. “People were behaving pretty well and it was calm, it just seemed to be a kind of unfortunate isolated incident,” Sandy said. DeSpain and Lovicott both agreed the police were able to control the crowd sufficiently despite the few destructive fans. “All of us are mostly Badger fans and we would’ve preferred a close win with more people on the street,” DeSpain said. “But it is what it is.”

Assistant Assembly Minority Leader Sandy Pasch, D-Shorewood, announced in a statement Friday she will not seek re-election in the fall. Pasch cited the health circumstances of her family and other personal concerns as her reasons for leaving the state

Legislature. She thanked her friends and colleagues in the Assembly for their support, according to the statement. Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca, D-Kenosha, thanked Pasch in a statement for her work in the Assembly, especially on health issues in the state.

“As a long-time mental health nurse, Rep. Pasch has helped to provide better services and address how mental illness impacts families and communities across our state,” Barca said in the statement. The Wisconsin Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals

also released a statement thanking Pasch for her work in state government. State Rep. Dean Kaufert, R-Neenah, also announced Tuesday in a statement he will not return to the Legislature next year following his recent election as mayor of Neenah.

Walker signs bill requiring insurance companies to cover oral chemotherapy Gov. Scott Walker signed a bill Thursday that will require insurance companies covering intravenous chemotherapy also to cover oral chemotherapy. The bill passed the state Legislature April 1 with wide bipartisan support. Walker lauded the bill’s passage in a

Thursday statement. “Oral chemotherapy is a potentially life-saving option for some cancer patients,” Walker said in the statement. “With all of the uncertainty in health care costs today, it just makes sense that we make sure this vitally important treatment is afford-

able to all citizens.” Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca, D-Kenosha, also praised the bill’s passage in a statement Tuesday. “Wisconsin is now much closer to joining Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and many other states in enacting oral chemo

legislation to ensure individuals fighting cancer get the essential, life-saving care they need,” Barca said in the statement. Walker also thanked state Sen. Alberta Darling, R-River Hills, and Rep. Pat Strachota, R-West Bend, for their contributions to the bill.

Photoshop use generates individual body issues start giving credit to Photoshop artists. In turn, viewers need to stop seeing these pictures as even remotely realistic and begin to fully understand their unrealistic images.

SARA VINSON opinion columnist

hotoshop has been a part of standard technology for years now. Albums dedicated solely to “Photoshop Fails” go viral online weekly. The fashion industry is one of the biggest offenders for photoshop blunders. They consistently release material filled with pictures made at home by a girl who wants to look skinnier in a bikini, or give herself a more hourglass figure and plenty of men alter photos to appear more toned.

Magazine covers are not a goal anyone should set for themselves because they are not realistic. Anyone who has ever Googled “celebrity Photoshop examples” can see how drastically their entire bodies are changed in the pictures. There are a million things an individual can do in order to change aspects of their picture if they have the skills, and these skills are rapidly becoming more and more universal. These skills have arrived and are not going anywhere soon. We love to add filters to our pictures. We feel increasingly more artistic and attractive in control with our photo manipulation. There is no stopping it, but advertisements and magazines need to stay vigilant about the quality of the work they produce and they need to

If a girl is thin or has a gap between her thighs it is part of what makes her beautiful. However, making it the ideal standard for beauty literally narrows the body positivity women can experience. It is of course preferable that our culture has turned to photo manipulation over physical manipulation. Instead of young girls bragging about their implants, we just see their amateur editing on Facebook. Better to take care of your body and change photos than do drastic change and often damage to your body. Lesser of two evils aside, we should be teaching young people (and ourselves) that Photoshop is art, not an achievement. Magazine covers are not a goal anyone should set for themselves because they are not realistic. Anyone who has ever Googled “celebrity Photoshop examples” can see how drastically their entire bodies are changed in the pictures. Models are made to look two-dimensional. Ribs, hips, knees, and anything that causes an image that might resemble fat are airbrushed or removed. On the rare occasion that a “plus-sized” model is used, (I use quotes because as a size seven I am far too big to be used as plus-sized model). Photoshop edi-

tors take out any definition of meat on a model’s bones. These supposed curvy beauties are just slightly wider than their thin colleagues. Old Navy recently received bad press from supposedly editing thigh gaps onto plus-sized models wearing jeans. Why is our culture obsessed with thigh gaps anyway? Why are they yet another level of beauty I need to aspire to? Legs are made very close together, and I have caught myself looking in the mirror wondering how wide my stance needs to be to create a gap. Then I remember it is not my responsibility to create my body in the image of someone else’s. If a girl is thin or has a gap between her thighs it is part of what makes her beautiful. However, making it the ideal standard for beauty literally narrows the body positivity women can experience. We understand that Photoshop is now the norm for the fashion industry and has cemented itself as the standard for anything like magazine covers or advertisements. My issue is unnatural Photoshop, such as giving curvy girls thigh gaps.

Their are a million things an individual can do in order to change aspects of their picture if they have the skills, and these skills are rapidly becoming more and more universal.

The Limited was recently called out for making the upper arms of models so thin all their elbows looked broken, swollen and inverted. Target got a lot of attention a couple

weeks ago when someone actually edited out a swimsuit model’s pelvic area giving her a rectangular thigh gap. We can keep editing our photos, but there are a multitude of alterations advertisers should make to their methods. If an editor asks him or herself if a photograph is physically possible and the answer is no, fix it. Is this singer’s head the same width as we made her waist? Maybe it should be reversed to look more natural. Are we so afraid of human features that we removed this model’s vulva? These are only a few examples of methods that need to be changed. Comedian and actress Tina Fey says that editors should aspire to use Photoshop with the intention of creating the illusion that the photographer caught the model or celebrity on her best day. In addition to scrutiny, there should be more honesty. If makeup artists, wardrobe consultants, photographers and writers are given credit in an ad or photo shoot then so should the Photoshop artists. Ads should be portrayed as altered art. The sooner we stop thinking of these photos as photos and start thinking of them as art, we can stop comparing ourselves to the impossibly high standards they create. Photoshop is here to stay, but Photoshop regulation is possible and should be enforced for the sake of accountability and honesty. This regulation is an essential step toward improving individuals’ own body image. How do you feel about the photo editing used in the fashion industry? Do companies need to start giving credit to Photoshop artists for their altered images of models? What are some other ways we can lessen the negative impact on an individual’s body image these photos create? Let us know how you feel and please send all feedback to opinion@ dailycardinal.com.

No shame in guilty pleasure television callie kollenbroich regis and callie I’m sure you all have your guilty pleasures—those delightful bits of enjoyment you try to eradicate from your search histories in attempts to salvage your credibility—and I am no exception. Whether you enjoy the occasional supernatural romance or find some sort of bizarre pleasure in watching bourgeois housewives pull each others’ hair, these underrated—or maybe properly rated—TV trifles are both the joy and the bane of our existence. Here are some of my current favorite guilty pleasures. I won’t judge you if you don’t judge me. “The Vampire Diaries” Before you gather your pitchforks and plot to dethrone me from my position as TV columnist, hear me out. I was once an angsty teenage girl, complete with awkward body proportions and a resentment towards my peers, and like many other teenagers I was not immune to the allure of the vampire craze spawned by the Twilight franchise. It was around this time that the CW premiered the pilot episode and like a moth to one of those excruciating bug zap-

pers I just couldn’t help myself, though I was sure it would be the death of me. I pride myself on my drive to finish what I’ve started, so I feel compelled—pun intended—to tune in until the series’ cancellation. Each year, I wait for the news that would release me from my shackles and free up another hour of my Thursday nights, but apparently teens across America still revel in watching painfully attractive people suck the lifeblood out of other even more painfully attractive people. Sickos. “Naked and Afraid” Mother Nature can be cruel, and her wrath is only exacerbated when you lack even a loincloth to protect your unmentionables from a mound of angry fire ants. The Discovery Channel original series pairs together two contestants, one man and one woman who are sure to have fundamental differences, forces them to traipse around the forest in only their birthday suit for 21 days and then awards them an inconsequential numerical value, or Primal Survival Rating, based on how well they traipsed. It’s basically “Man vs. Wild” sans clothes plus woman and it’s weirdly entertaining. I can confidently say that if I ever find myself forced to battle the elements in an inhospitable locale I will be slightly more pre-

pared than if I had never seen “Naked and Afraid,” which is to say I’ll always remember to pack a change of clothes. “Pretty Little Liars” There is no denying that this is one of the worst shows I have ever seen—the dialogue is horrible; the plot is ridiculous.

Despite its flaws, it remains one of ABC Family’s most popular original series, so the network keeps it going. The point of the show is painfully simple—viewers, along with a clique of teenage protagonists, must uncover the identity of “A,” a hooded villain whose pranks grow increasingly more malevolent with each

episode. Why then, after almost 100 episodes, are we still salivating over the identity of the hooded psychopath? The answer is plot twists, and lots of them. If you miss an episode—heck, if you even get up to go to the bathroom—you can pretty much forget about being able to understand the remainder of the season because someone will have died, come back to life, been extorted and then whacked over the head with a shovel by a drug-addled prep school girl. I want with every fiber of my being to write this one off as a lost cause, but the show has triggered in me a persistence I’ve never experienced before. Each week they promise me answers and each week I flock to the TV even though I’m sure I won’t get any. It’s a sisyphean pursuit but I can’t stop, won’t stop, until I’ve finally obtained justice in the form of closure. Sure, I’m feeling slightly embarrassed right now, but with this shame comes an incredible liberation knowing that I no longer have to live a constant lie. It’s time to come out of the shadows, leave your internet history intact and embrace your pop culture kryptonite. I promise, you are not alone. Let your own guilty pleasure TV shows off your chest finally by sharing them with Callie at kollenbroic@wisc.edu.

The Cardinal staff weighs in on the courses that made them think a bit differently afterward.

Pre-Raphaelites: Sex & Death in Victorian Culture Professor Nancy Rose Marshall, a Conversewearing, cat-loving redheaded goddess of art history, has such an infectious enthusiasm for Victorian culture that I was this close to double majoring in art history. In this class, Marshall guides you through a fascinating exploration of the Pre-Raphaelites, a unique group of 18th century artists who perfected intricate painting techniques and meddled in scandalous love triangles. The class meets two days per week and requires just three blog posts, a short formal analysis of a piece and a final essay throughout the entire semester—perfect for any student looking for an eye-opening class that isn’t a chore. Class specs: Art Hist 407, 3 credits, humanities, intermediate/advanced, junior standing and one art hist course at 200 and 300 level, or instructor consent.

Israeli Politics and Society

The heavy emotion attached to media coverage of events in Israel often impedes on our ability to understand this region in a critical and nuanced way. Enter Professor Nadav Shelef, an expert on Israeli nationalism and identity. After this class you will have an understanding of the reasons why Ashkenazi and Mizrahi Jews and religious and non-religious Jews have trouble seeing eye to eye. You’ll learn about the origins of the countless Israeli political parties as well as delve into issues of Arab-Israeli identity, the occupation of Palestinian territories, and increasingly fractured political parties. While Shelef’s own nationality is Israeli, he presents information on IsraeliPalestinian relations in a nuanced light. Putting his own beliefs, whatever they might be, aside for lecture, his unwavering presentation style is a breath of fresh air that will allow you to form your own opinions. Class specs: Poli Sci/Jewish 665, 3 credits, advanced, junior standing and one intro poli sci course.

Environmental Conservation Environmental Studies 339 is a comprehensive look at the wide range of issues surrounding environmental conservation and solutions to conservation problems. The course is dynamic, including lectures, participation-based discussions, two short papers and group work. You’ll get a wide range of topics, including the history of the environmental movement in the United States, environmental conservation in the Global South, environmental justice and climate change. This is a great course for anyone considering the Environmental Studies major or certificate as well as people who are interested in environmental policy. Class specs: Geog/Envir St 339, 4 credits, social science, intermediate, sophomore standing.

History of American Education

Resources and People

Do you like talking about issues in education? Are you interested in American history? Consider adding Educational Policy Studies 412 to your fall course shopping cart. Taught by Adam Nelson, the course traces the history of schools in this country. Not only does the material help students understand how some issues in American education came to be, but Nelson is super engaging. The course is well-organized, and Nelson’s lectures are clear and easy to follow as well as downright entertaining at times. The course requires both a research paper and a sit-for final, but neither were too daunting. Class specs: Ed Pol/Hist 412, 3 credits, social science, advanced, junior standing or consent from instructor.

If you’re interested in majoring in Geography or Environmental Studies, Envir St 139 is essential. Even if you’re not majoring in these subjects or you’re undeclared, 139 is a fun, accessible course that gives you the rudiments of how people use and understand environmental resources. It gives you a streamlined, easy-to-understand introduction into some of the finer points and intersections of environmental ideas, ideologies, practices and philosophies. It also fulfills some basic requirements. Reading is comparatively light and works well with lectures and discussion sections. Class specs: Geog/Envir St 139, 3 credits, social science, elementary, open to freshmen.

Principles of Biological Anthropology

Mass Communication in Developing Nations

Delve into a fascinating world of evolution and ancient life forms in Anthropology 105. This class offers a comprehensive look at the biological evolution of species, ranging from prehistoric life forms to Neanderthals and modern humans. This class also offers a once-weekly, hands-on lab that allows students to work directly with fossils and bones to learn more about human evolution. The course is a great option for anyone looking for a unique way to fulfill natural science credits. Class specs: Anthro 105, 3 credits, biological sciences, elementary, open to freshmen.

China in World Politics Everyone can parrot the cliche that China will be the next world hegemon, but to be one of the few with real and timely knowledge of the topic, enroll in China in World Politics. Professor Edward Friedman teaches the context of Chinese history and nationalism as a backdrop to analyzing the growth and change in the country and its foreign policy since the end of the Cultural Revolution. Friedman has the practical experience as an expert who worked with the U.S. government. After taking his class, you’ll be able to analyze anything in the news about China, and perhaps reason with those who are irrationally afraid of Chinese world domination. Class specs: Poli Sci 346, 4 credits, social science, intermediate/advanced, junior standing.

Criminal Justice in America

Legal Studies 131 is a crash course in the American criminal justice system. You’ll gain a thorough understanding of how the system functions, but you’ll also examine a variety of interesting cases. The course is wellorganized and flows at a reasonable pace, but the exams are challenging. Once in a while, you’ll get some quality legal advice from the professors and TAs, including when the police do and do not have a right to enter your home. This is a need-to-take course for anyone planning to go to law school, or considering the legal studies certificate . Class specs: Legal St/Soc 131, 4 credits, social science, elementary, open to freshman and sophomores only until end of freshman registration.

Environmental Studies: The Humanistic Perspective This class is much more than boring carbon dioxide levels or melting glaciers. Envir St 113 takes a look at environmental problems through a more anthropological approach. You get to see how humans have connected with nature over time, whether it’s learning about animals in nursery rhymes, plants and their uses (yes, even marijuana) or the history of garbage (which is way more interesting than it sounds). Projects included creating an animal journal for a day and keeping track of your recycling bin. Easy a n d interesting, I’d definitely check this one out. Class specs: Envir St 113, 3 credits, humanities, elementary, open to freshmen.

Within this seminar-structured class, where grades are almost based entirely on participation, this class analyzes the boom of humanitarian organizations in an increasingly globalized world and their relationship to the media. Looking at celebrities, nonprofit advertisement and nonprofit promotional events, for instance “We Are the World,” J621 revises your perception of media representations. While any international studies-related class usually leaves you with the feeling that the entire world is an ever-growing disaster, J621 more importantly encourages you to question our surrounding media and international issues. Class specs: Journ 621, 4 credits, social science, advanced, junior standing.

Shakespearean Drama “Shakespeare” is, on the surface, a daunting topic for a class to undertake. Where do you start? How do you go about it? Luckily, English 219, under the helm of Elizabeth Bearden, exists. For English majors, it satisfies a base requirement, and for non-majors, it’s an interesting take on one of the English language’s most esteemed authors. In Bearden’s hands, Shakespeare’s plays are full of vim and vigor, wit and bawd and all that good stuff. And since the readings are almost entirely Shakespeare-centric, there’s plenty of time over the semester to dig deep into his plays. Class specs: Engl 219, 3 credits, literature, intermediate, prerequisite of 6 introductory literature credits.

The Making of the Islamic World: The Middle East, 500-1500 Professor Michael Chamberlain’s entry-level History course is a lot like many others: You get out what you put in. If you choose to come to class—where an attendance sheet is passed around as a response to the idleness of past semesters—you’ll learn about Islam’s formative years as a religious and cultural force and how it came to transform the Middle East. For anyone even remotely interested in the Middle East or current affairs, the class is welcome and useful context. And even if you’re not, Chamberlain’s frequent “Game of Thrones” references and casually dispensed anecdotes of his own travels through places like Syria and Iran are enough to keep you hooked. Class specs: Hist/LCA 205, 4 credits, humanities, elementary, open to all undergraduates.

Western Culture: Political, Economic and Social Thought I

It is rare to be able to say you took a college class that was in a living room. Situated in the Mieklejohn House, the Integrated Liberal Studies department is literally “home” to a wide variety of literary and philosophical courses. Through famous texts from Plato to Aristotle, this specific course examines how historical ideas still find relevance in today’s changing world. The fact that Professor Richard Avramenko starts each lecture by playing a popular song that relates to current material doesn’t hurt either—who would’ve known Shakira’s “Hips Don’t Lie” could help better convey the idea of physicality being used in Ancient Greece to assert one’s power. Class specs: ILS 205, 3 credits, humanities or social science, elementary, open to all tommy yonash/the daily cardinal undergraduates.

UW splits its series with Minnesota By Jake Powers THE DAILY CARDINAL

NICK MONFELI/CARDINAL FILE PHOTO

The Badgers will only lose one starter from a team that earned 30 wins and a Final Four berth.

Wisconsin’s NCAA Tournament run ended Saturday final four from page 1 “You can look at so much film, and you can watch them, but the amount of force they come with and how aggressive they are to the glass, you really can’t emulate that in any other way until you experience it,” said redshirt junior forward Duje Dukan. “We talked about it as one thing that we needed to address.” Wisconsin saw great performances from pretty much all its players. Freshman guard Bronson Koenig and Dukan both made shots that drove key Wisconsin runs. Six different players pulled down four or five rebounds. The team collectively made 19-of-20 free throws. The one miss came from junior guard Traevon Jackson, who was fouled on a 3-point attempt and missed one of three free throws, which left the door open for a goahead 3-point shot from UK.

And that very shot came in the form of what will likely go down as the most infamous shot in Wisconsin basketball history, one that flew out of the hands of Harrison. “He was pretty deep out there. He hadn’t really looked to pull up [for a shot] the entire game,” said redshirt junior guard Josh Gasser. “I saw him start to rise up, and I tried to contest the best I could. I thought I did a good job, but he made another good shot.” Wisconsin had a chance to respond, but the attempt to save the season from Jackson fell short and the Badgers’ run was finished. “I think I got hit on my arm, but I thought once it was out of my hands it had a chance to go in,” Jackson said. “When I saw it didn’t, it just was a shock more than sadness at that point. That miss will spell the end of the careers of guard Ben Brust,

forward Zach Bohannon and center Evan Anderson. However, that seems to be it for the Badgers’ losses, as Kaminsky and sophomore forward Sam Dekker both told ESPN’s Jeff Goodman that they will return to Wisconsin despite a potential spot in the NBA draft. That means the Badgers will return 82 percent of the scoring of a Final Four team. “We are going to be back next year. We are going to be better than ever. We will all be ready,” Kaminsky said. “It is going to be a long road to get back to here, but I know we will make it.” Harrison’s shot is going to be replayed more than anyone outside of Kentucky is going to like. But Badger fans will still have memories of the journey to their first Final Four in 14 years, storming State Street in elation and the joy of watching the best offense of Bo Ryan’s career. That makes it a pretty special season.

The Badgers had to wait longer than expected to revive the Border Battle against Minnesota that last featured a Wisconsin victory in the 2013 Big Ten Championship game. Wisconsin (3-5 Big Ten, 17-15 overall) was slated to take on the Golden Gophers (6-2, 28-5) in a weekend series from Friday through Sunday, but a snowstorm swept over Minnesota Thursday and shortened the series to a Sunday doubleheader. The Badgers split the matchup, winning the first game 2-1 and dropping the second 3-0. In the first contest, Wisconsin struck first in the fourth inning when sophomore second baseman Ashley Van Zeeland reached on a Minnesota error that allowed junior utility player Marissa Mersch to score. Minnesota tied the game with one run in the fifth inning, but Wisconsin answered right back in the top of the sixth. With one out and a runner on first base, senior third baseman Michelle Mueller got on

base because of an error and then advanced to second on a fielder’s choice groundout to the pitcher. Sophomore Katie Christner then pinch ran for Mueller and later scored when junior center fielder Maria Van Abel reached on an error. The two runs were all Wisconsin needed. Sophomore pitcher TaylorPaige Stewart scattered six hits and one run over seven innings of work and improved her record to 7-5 on the season. Stewart worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the seventh to hold on to the win. The Badgers were blanked in the second game by Minnesota’s freshman pitcher Sara Groenewegen (8-0), who struck out nine Wisconsin hitters to continue her dominant 2014 campaign. Senior pitcher Cassandra Darrah gave up two runs in the third inning and one in the fourth to absorb the loss. Her record moved to 10-9. The Badgers will take on North Dakota at Goodman Diamond in a doubleheader Wednesday. UWBadgers.com contributed to this report.
