UW students share suggestions with regents for improving campus climate

By Madeline Heim THE DAILY CARDINAL

A panel of students from schools across the UW System sat down with the Board of Regents Friday to detail experiences of marginalized student groups and propose recommendations for an improved atmosphere of understanding and inclusion on campus.

Regent President Regina Millner said although a broad spectrum of students, faculty and community members have been engaging in conversations about diversity and equity over the past several months, she recognizes there is more work to be done.

Millner added that Friday’s panel would provide the regents with perspectives needed to shape policies that would positively affect campus climate.

Five students from schools including UW-Madison, UW-Stout, UW-Green Bay, UW-Parkside and UW-Whitewater participated in the panel, which was capped with a spoken word performance from UW-Green Bay freshman Selena Deer.

UW-Madison sophomore Mariam Coker spoke about personal discrimination she has faced, as well as other incidents of hate and bias

Board of Regents President Regina Millner announced the addition of a task force to examine experiences of marginalized students after hearing from a panel of UW students Friday. that recently occurred on campus.

“The issue is that we are not seeing people’s humanity,” Coker said, adding that if these incidents are not fixed, it creates a campus climate that tells marginalized students they are not welcome.

Coker advocated for mandatory diversity trainings for all students and staff, more substantial ethnic studies requirements, more culturally competent therapists and affordable housing and groceries.

Coker also described the university’s recent Moving Forward event, which welcomed over 400 students, faculty and community members for a discussion surrounding hate and bias incidents, mental health services and other similar issues. Although she called the event successful, Coker said “the people who needed to be there weren’t there.”

UW-Green Bay senior Asti Martin said students who are

judged, stereotyped and targeted because of the color of their skin may find it difficult to continue school because those experiences have a lasting impact on their education.

As a member of the Chancellor’s Inclusive Excellence Committee, Martin said she works to promote student and faculty education on issues of diversity and equity, and added that it would be helpful to have more faculty and staff who “actually represented us” at the university.

Several regents responded to the panel, including Regents José Vasquez and Eve Hall, who commended the students for sharing their experiences and said they recognized the need for quality education and support.

Regent Tim Higgins asked the students why they feel it is not their job to educate white people on these issues, to which Coker responded it places an extra burden on students to have to explain and justify their culture.

“It’s my job to get an education, it’s my job to learn,” Coker said. “It should not be an extra priority for me to teach people who ask things out of curiosity rather than respect.”

Millner wrapped up the discussion with the announcement of a new task force to examine the experiences of minority students on campus. The task force, which she said will be comprised of regents, chancellors and students, will collect and examine student experiences and identify areas for improvement.

Following the meeting, the regents hosted a “listening luncheon” where other students could share their experiences and thoughts about equity and inclusion issues on their campuses.

Primary results may predict nominees

A first-degree sexual assault reportedly occurred near Memorial Union.

Sexual assault near Memorial Union reported Friday night A first-degree sexual assault occurred late Friday night between 10 p.m. and 10:40 p.m. near Memorial Union.

The victim reported “three unknown men held her down against her will with a knife and sexually assaulted her,” according to the campus-wide

crime warning.

No further details of the suspects have been provided.

The campus-wide warning said that UW-Madison Police Department is actively investigating the case and urged anyone with additional information to contact UWPD at 608-264-2677.

The Badger State may have seen an end to its 28-year streak of choosing the eventual presidential candidates last week.

Wisconsin chose two underdogs, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, and ignited further uncertainty for the remainder of the election.

Wisconsin’s primary is historically the best in the country for predicting the eventual nominees, with a 93.8 percent success rate, according to the Washington Post. Aside from voting for Gary Hart for Democratic nominee in 1988, Wisconsin has accurately predicted the final candidates from both parties in every primary since 1968.

Wisconsin is a battleground state with voter bases on both sides of the aisle and candidates fighting hard to address the range of concerns among voters in the rural and urban parts of the state.

“You’ve got a liberal faction

like Madison but you’ve also got the outstate population that is sizable,” said professor Dhavan Shah, director of the Mass Communication Research Center at UW-Madison. “So there are a lot of different constituencies that you have to address and satisfy in order to win a primary in this state.”

This affects statewide elections as well, according to Mike Wagner, associate professor in the UW-Madison School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

“Wisconsin has two robust political parties,” Wagner said.

“We have one of the most conservative senators in Ron Johnson and one of the most liberal senators in Tammy Baldwin. We have a state that will elect Scott Walker and Jim Doyle right on the heels of each other.”

A more obvious reason that makes Wisconsin a good candidate predictor is the timing of the state’s primary.

“Because we’re so late, [the primary] is usually over by the

time we vote,” said UW-Madison Political Science Department Chair David Canon. “In this case where we picked the underdogs, I think it shows what an unusual election year this is. More things are still up for grabs now than would typically be true.”

States like Wisconsin that usually offer some predictive value for the country as a whole are often referred to as “bellwether states,” but Canon feels more comfortable distinguishing it as a battleground state.

“Bellwether is a little more random in whether or not a state really does end up being able to have a predictive value in terms of how the rest of the country is going to go,” he said.

While Canon said observers shouldn’t put too much weight on Wisconsin as a microcosm for national trends, this fact doesn’t deter from the prominence of last week’s election.

“One thing that clearly has

“…the great state University of Wisconsin should ever encourage that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found.”

FULL REVIEW: At my most recent family reunion, I was relaxing with my wonderful, genetically linked companions when I made a miraculous discovery about my grandpa Harold.

Grandpa Harold has always been an odd man. Lacking arms and legs, Harold has the tendency to only be able to live in water and hates breathing air. He also has never talked to me and doesn’t possess the capability of speech (classic Grandpa Harold, what a joker.) We always blew this off and blamed his diet for the physical oddities, but due to my expertise with animals, I’ve discovered that Grandpa Harold isn’t human at all but is in fact a blobfish!

I obviously needed to review my grandpa out of respect for my gene pool, so I decided now was a perfect time to work from home, and write another animal review.

Blobfish are gel-like deep sea creatures made up of material less dense than water.

This extremely light material means that they ultimately have no need for muscle. Grandpa Harold has never been able to open a jar of food, consequently shattering his ability to fit in with more masculine, testosterone-laden males. I’ve always tried to get him into better shape because I needed him to open some of my favorite extra-spicy salsa jars, but now that I know the truth, I sympa-

Final Score: 3/10 thize with him much more. It also helps that I am now able to open my own salsa jars.

Earlier I said he had never spoken, but that is not entirely true. Grandpa Harold said one line in 2012 completely out of nowhere: “Those fuckers will never catch me.” The sentence has puzzled me ever since but I now realize he was referring to fishermen. Blobfish have become an endangered species due to bottom trawling fishing nets, and Grandpa Harold was simply voicing his discontent.

Grandpa Harold has never been much of an emotional being, frequently staring apathetically at walls in his free time. Even music doesn’t really

rouse any sort of emotion out of my lovable grandfather blobfish.

The only song which has ever stirred any response is “Under Pressure” by Queen. He bobbed up and down slightly to the song and even shed a tear. This emotional response is likely due to the blobfish residing in pressures 60–120 times higher than those found at sea level.

Scientists have no idea how long blobfish live so it’s still unclear what stage of his life Harold is in. Judging by his admiration for expensive cars, however, it can be assumed that he is in some sort of midlife crisis.

I’ve never really cared much for Grandpa Harold, so I’m giving this ugly little bastard a 3/10.

Can You Watch My Stuff?

by Liam Hutchison

The library was nearly empty when it happened, save for a few caffeinefueled souls fighting their way through last-minute essays and cramming for exams. I myself was in no state to be awake, much less to be studying, but nonetheless there I was, trying to put the finishing—make that the starting—touches on a paper of my own.

I had arrived there that evening with grand intentions, but as my energy dwindled so did my motivation to tap out thousands of words for the flimsy purpose of pleasing my T.A. So, as one does when avoiding work, I turned my focus to people-watching—a late-night, onetime, short-term ethnography of sorts.

My fellow library-goers that night struck the usual mixture of fervid notebook scrawlers, dejected Facebook scrollers and a few old guys drinking orange juice straight from the carton as they laughed to themselves and chain watched YouTube videos.

Aside from a few shared glances, almost everyone kept to themselves, locked into whatever it was they were doing.

I too must have been locked into my procrastinatory people-watching, because I didn’t realize someone was near me until I felt an abrupt tap on

my shoulder. Startled, I turned to see who it was. A round-faced man, seemingly college-aged, sporting a few days of beard scruff and an ill-fitting black hoodie, opened his mouth to speak.

know for sure if he’d been sitting there before, but I couldn’t assume he meant any harm— surely he wasn’t a laptop thief. He must know the kid who was sitting there, I thought to myself.

“Can you watch my stuff?” he said, in a tone far more serious than one typically uses to make such a common request. The expression on his face was alarming, his eyes pleaded for a response. “I won’t be gone long,” he promised.

Every few moments I’d make a passing glance around the room to see if the man had moved from his chair. He hadn’t. He just sat there, waiting— arms crossed at his chest, eyes staring blankly at the table. It was weird, no doubt, but what was I supposed to do?

“Yeah,” I said, “that’s totally fine.” I assumed he just needed to use the bathroom.

I kept watching.

“Please watch it closely,” he said. “It’s the stuff on that table.” He gestured toward a four-person table a few away from mine that was laden with wrappers, Redbull cans, a laptop and a couple notebooks, before turning to walk out of the room.

Moments after he left, I noticed someone walk toward the table where his stuff sat exposed—the very table that had just fallen under my jurisdiction. With a calm, confident walk, the man approached. His suit and tie made for an odd sight at this hour, but the kid who left had seemed a bit odd too, so I thought nothing much of it.

Eventually, the man made a move.

Slowly. Methodically. Something was in his hand—a flash drive, it seemed. He jammed it into the USB port on the bathroom kid’s computer.

Dozens of windows flew up onto the screen, scrolling and scanning in a futuristic frenzy.

The man noticed I was watching, but seemed unfazed.

I knew what I had to do.

Without breaking my gaze, I stood up from my spot and pushed in my chair.

I walked toward the man and asked him: “can you watch my stuff?”

He nodded.

The suited man pulled out a chair and sat down at the table. I didn’t

I left and never came back.

Dane County judge strikes down right-to-work law

By Andrew Bahl THE DAILY CARDINAL

In a staggering decision Friday, a Dane County judge threw out Wisconsin’s year-old right-to-work law, saying it violated Wisconsin’s constitution.

In the first known instance of a right-to-work law being struck down by a court, Dane County Circuit Court Judge William Foust wrote that the law, which prohibits union membership as a condition of employment, blocked the property rights of unions. “[Unions] have a legally protectable property interest in the services they perform for their members and non-members,” Froust wrote. “When members pay their dues and non-members their fair share fees, all would say the union is building a treasury that it holds as property.”

Foust also noted that “a freerider problem is born” because the law allows non union members to

benefit from the dues that members pay.

The lawsuit was brought by three unions, the International Association of Machinists Local 10 in Milwaukee, the United Steelworkers District 2 in Menasha and the state AFL-CIO, after the bill was signed into law last March.

State Attorney General Brad Schimel pledged to appeal the decision and told radio talk show host Vicki McKenna that he was confident the state’s appeals court would stay the ruling while the legal process moves forward.

“We are extremely disappointed that the Dane County Circuit Court struck down Wisconsin’s right-to-work law, but we are confident the law will be upheld on appeal,” Schimel said in a statement.

Democrats and labor leaders cheered the decision, saying it banishes a law that harms workers and leads to lower wages.

EMILY BUCK/CARDINAL FILE PHOTO

Wisconsin’s right-to-work law, which limits union membership, was declared contrary to the state’s constitution Friday. The law sparked large protests at the Capitol last year.

“This ruling is a victory for workers’ rights and middle class families,” Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca, D-Kenosha, said. “Middle class Wisconsin workers are in crisis and so-called ‘Right to Work’ laws have been shown to drive down wages and

economic growth. The extreme right-wing Republican agenda has been incredibly harmful to working people and businesses in Wisconsin.”

Wisconsin’s right-to-work law created controversy during its passage in an extraordinary ses-

sion last year, as protestors flooded the Capitol to demonstrate against a measure they alleged to be another attack on organized labor. Supporters of the bill argue it gives Wisconsin workers more freedom and improves the state’s business climate.

Six weapons violations occurred over the weekend, according to the Madison Police Department incident reports website. Five of the violations involved guns and one involved a knife.

Series of weapons violations plague Madison weekend

By Miller Jozwiak THE DAILY CARDINAL

A series of six unsolved weapons violations throughout Madison plagued the city over the weekend, according to the Madison Police Department.

The first occurred on the 1800 block of Helene Parkway around 6:30 Friday night. Officers recovered bullet casings and arrested one of three suspects after a foot chase. MPD believes one suspect was shooting at another, and both suspects escaped in vehicles.

Officers do not believe the act was random, according to the incident report. The arrested suspect, Malcolm Whiteside, tried to ditch a gun, but his role in the shooting is not yet clear to officers. Whiteside

was arrested on charges of felon possession of a firearm, possession of heroin and possession of THC. Two buildings and a vehicle were shot.

Two “shots fired” reports followed that incident early Saturday morning. The first happened on the southwest side and no damage or injuries occurred.

Officers only recovered a single bullet casing before the second shots fired was reported around 2 a.m., and found a single bullet hole in the apartment from which the call came.

A knife-related incident occurred around 9 a.m. Saturday.

A 20-year-old woman on the south side threatened to kill a group of victims before fleeing the

scene on foot.

Around the same time Saturday, two suspects fired one round at a person on Monterey Drive. This incident also did not appear to be random and the investigation is ongoing, according to the report.

The last weapons violation of the weekend happened around 3 a.m. Sunday. An adult woman was sleeping when a bullet entered through the exterior and struck her bedroom door. This incident was the only one officers believed was random.

All the incidents remain unsolved and are under investigation by MPD. No injuries were reported in relation to any of the incidents.

UW-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank said the university’s new tenure policy approved by the UW System Board of Regents Friday is “workable” and should reassure faculty, according to a post on her online blog.

The regents voted unanimously to pass the policy, which includes protections surrounding eligibility for severance pay and hearings for faculty members recommended for layoff.

Additionally, Blank said some of the provisions allow faculty to “play a strong role” in any decision concerning program closures or financial emergencies.

A need for the policy’s creation arose systemwide when Gov. Scott Walker removed tenure protections from legislation last July. According to the blog post, UW-Madison’s Faculty Senate approved a policy specific to the university in November, the amended version of which was approved by the regents.

Blank said although there was controversy surrounding the policy’s use of “less robust language” around finding alternatives for faculty if their program closes, all steps will be taken to retain UW-Madison’s tenured faculty.

“As long as this University is a top-ranked institution we will behave like other top-ranked universities,” Blank said in the post.

“That means we don’t layoff tenured faculty. Period.”

The newly approved policy is consistent with the university’s peer institutions, Blank said, and she urged readers to look to the tenure policies from the University of North Carolina or the University of Michigan to make comparisons.

“After a difficult nine months of debate, I hope everyone will give this new policy a chance,” Blank said in the post. “Let’s move on to the many other challenges and opportunities in front of us.”

Trump and boosted the likelihood of a contested convention.

“This was kind of the heart of the ‘Never Trump’ movement but whether or not that will sustain him as he moves back to the East Coast in places like New York and Pennsylvania, that’s a real question,” Shah said.

On the Democratic side, Sanders’ win didn’t have quite the power of Cruz’s, but his double-digit victory certainly validated his prominence in the election. Despite his recent winning streak, Wagner predicts the Vermont senator will continue to trail behind Hillary Clinton in the coming primaries.

“I think we’re going to see a lot of the same which is fairly close races, wins for Clinton, wins for Sanders, but roughly the same delegate lead for Clinton the rest of the way,” he said.

Going forward into the final primaries, it’s possible Wisconsin will hang on to its high nominee prediction rate, but this unusual election is sure to give it a run for its money.

been true with the primary in Wisconsin is that it did have national significance in the fact that no one else had a primary on that day and it was seen as being critical for both Cruz and for Sanders,” Canon said.

Wisconsin’s Republican voters have a long track record of picking front-runners over insurgents, according a Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel report. This trend is also tied to the state’s tendency to side with the more traditional candidate.

“On the Republican side, the insurgent in this case is actually the establishment candidate,” Wagner said. “Ted Cruz is much more a conventional Republican than Donald Trump, so in that case, Wisconsin is trying to stop the insurgent.”

Cruz’s win, aided by missteps from business mogul Donald Trump leading up to the election, offered huge momentum to the Republican party’s attempt to take down

Pizza Brutta: creating authentic Italian style in the heart of Madison

By Kiana Asada the daily Cardinal

kaitlyn veto/the daily cardinal

Social media expectations vary from person to person, but certain general rules can apply.

Social media etiquette in the modern age

By Sandy Balan the daily cardinal

4. Don’t share other people’s news

We live in an age of social media. It is a fact. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, you name it: The accounts have become a part of our lives.

We interact with people from around the world, find out news, upload pictures and do it all from the comfort of our own homes.

The thing about using social media is that it gives us the ability to hide behind a screen. With this protection, we can sometimes forget the real-life implications of our digital actions.

Here are some general guidelines for social media etiquette, though more nuanced expectations certainly can apply.

If your best friend gets a job, don’t post about it on your wall immediately. It’s his or her good news. You can be excited and happy, but let him or her share it first, unless you get permission.

Same thing goes with bad news: Don’t broadcast your friends’ bad news on your profile.

Again, it’s somone else’s news.

1. Before you post, ask yourself whether you’d physically say to someone what you wrote

6. Be careful of ranting about a colleague, a boss, a job etc.

If you wouldn’t to say it to someone in public, it’s most likely not appropriate for social media.

The age-old adage “treat others the way you want to be treated” can easily apply here. Just because the connection is digital, mutal respect and kindness cannot be excused.

2. Don’t over-share information

Sharing new and even old information is commonplace on social media. But there is a time and place for everything.

Before you choose to share personal information, double-check that you’re aware of the audience.

Do you want your younger cousin to see that racy Facebook photo?

3. Think before you tag

If you have a picture of someone (unflattering or not), you might want to ask the person before you tag.

Therefore, that same courtesy will likely be extended to you in the future.

5. Give credit where credit is due

If someone takes a picture for you, remember to give them a little shout-out. If you share a link that someone else posted or a status that you think is important, give some recognition.

You never know who can see your statuses/tweets. If your words get back to whomever/whatever you’re ranting about, it can come back and haunt you later.

Be cautious of how your words might be perceived.

7. Try not to use social media to spread negativity

This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t complain on social media because we all need an outlet.

Just be careful of how many times you complain (and what you complain about). It can get a little frustrating when all you see is negativity from the profiles of friends and family.

8. Try not to use social to excessively brag

Celebration after good news is a natural repsonse. It’s awesome that you want to let people know about your achievements. However (as with everything), more doesn’t necessarily mean better.

Post about your achievements, but also offer congratulations to

others who may have achieved something similar. Doing so is a careful line between bragging and informing.

9. Use hashtags sparingly

In a world full of social movements, hashtags are awesome ways to show what’s trending in the world. But using them too much can make a status or tweet look really cluttered.

10. Please, please, please use (or at least try to use) proper grammar and correct spelling

Proper grammar doesn’t have to be a Shakespearean sonnet or ye Old English, nor does it have to be perfect, but please make sure the sentences are understandable at the least.

The suggestion may seem unimportant and nerdy, but when it happens often, bad spelling and grammar can become a nuisance for your friends and followers to read.

Every person who uses the Internet leaves a digital footprint. It doesn’t matter whether you delete a tweet or edit that Facebook post; anything you put online has the potential to come back in its original form or in a form you did not originally intend.

The rules listed above are nothing more than suggestions.

Etiquette is not something easily defined and varies from person to community.

Fa c e b o o k , T w it t e r, Instagram, Tumblr or whatever social media site you choose to use are ways to express your thoughts and feelings. Like anything in life, there can be some ways that are better than others to approach posting.

In general, take a moment and think before you post/ tweet/tag on social media.

You’ll be thankful you did.

One and a half minutes: that’s all it takes for the pizza at Pizza Brutta to bake. The dough has only four ingredients and the cheese has just two. These core elements are combined with all-natural ingredients and an award-winning tomato sauce to create Pizza Brutta’s uniquely delicious yet authentic Italian pizza taste.

This pizza style has been around since the 1830s, where it originated in Naples, Italy.

Traditionally, pizza was considered street food. It was cheap, easy and primarily made up of flour and tomato sauce without any cheese.

It wasn’t until 1889, when the owner of Pizzeria Brandi was invited to the palace to create pizzas for King Umberto and Queen Margherita, that cheese was added.

Queen Margherita’s favorite pizza was the one that resembled the Italian flag: red tomato sauce, white mozzarella and green basil. This style of pizza has since then been named after her and can be found at many different pizzerias, including Pizza Brutta.

This pizza style has been around since the 1830s, where it originated in Naples, Italy.

When my friends and I visited the restaurant, some of my favorite styles of pizza were the Nostrano (basil, sausage, roasted red peppers) and the Lombardo (basil, garlic, ham, sundried tomatoes, gorgonzola).

The Margherita was by far our group’s favorite. With a rich

taste, it was simple yet delicious.

The crust was thin, but not too crunchy or dry, and the tomato sauce and cheese added flavor without the thick layer of grease that accompanies most local pizzas.

The other pizzas were also good and tasted fresh, but the extra toppings were almost too much on a pizza that was already flavorful with just tomato sauce, cheese and basil.

The crust was thin, but not too crunchy or dry, and the tomato sauce and cheese added flavor without the thick layer of grease that accompanies most local pizzas.

Just tasting Pizza Brutta’s menu makes it obvious that the cooks try to embody the art of Neapolitan pizza-making, with high quality flour, slow churned dough and fresh tomato sauce prepared every day.

It is also easy to understand Pizza Brutta’s motto “fast oven, slow food.” There is practically no wait for the pizza to bake, but the results are ones to be savored at length.

The ambiance of the dining area also gave the restaurant a “homey” feel. There was an assortment of seating options and the entire front of the restaurant had windows that let in plenty of natural light.

One of my group members gave Pizza Brutta a “10 out of 10, would eat again.” We were also excited to find out that Pizza Brutta plans on opening another pizzeria in Middleton, Wis., in the near future.

Given its authentic Italian style with a modern flair, it’s easy to assume that Pizza Brutta’s unique taste will carry across locations.

Makeup Tip Monday: Lip color that goes the extra mile Cherry red and deep plum are shades that are always in style for lips, but they take some maintenance to wear. There are few steps that you can take that will make wearing bold lips incredibly easy and guarantee that they last all day.

It’s important to make sure that your lips are exfoliated to ensure that the color applies smoothly.

Find a lip scrub, which can be store-bought, or you could save some money by making it DIY (do-it-yourself) with brown sugar and vanilla. Take a tiny amount of the scrub, less than a pea size, and rub it all over your lips until they are soft and smooth.

After rinsing off the scrub, you’ll want to find a lip liner that either matches your natural lip color or the lipstick shade that you will be applying. Don’t apply this just to the edges of your lips, but fill them in with the liner too. This is a precautionary step

that will help the lipstick stay for hours on end.

Once you’ve applied the liner, it’s time to apply the lipstick. When buying a bold color, look for formulas that are matte because they will last much longer. Liquid lipsticks, a huge trend at the moment, are perfect for this because they apply like a liquid but dry matte. They are so longlasting, they even last through eating a burger. Brands like Kat Von D and Anastasia both make beautiful liquid lipsticks.

A final, optional step is to take some foundation or concealer on a makeup sponge and apply this around the edges of your lips.

This will make the lines very clean, sharp and defined, and you’ll be left with stunning lips for the whole day.

Thursday night, The Sett at Union South was unrecognizable. Masses of students with knit beanies, ripped jeans, worn converse and flannel shirts claimed the familiar college eatery for the night. Excitement increased in anticipation for the music that would soon overtake the room. Green wristbands were passed around, the tech assistants finished their wiring and girls in high-waisted pants and pigtails flocked to the stage as the lights dimmed. It was clear that the night was about to officially start.

Taryn Miller of the band Your Friend quietly graced the stage. Miller’s big glasses, floppy hair and small stature suggested timidity and introversion. Her music soon revealed

her to be self-reflective and content, yet engaging in presentation. Hunched over the keyboard in concentration, Miller knit her brow as she became fully engaged in her music. Her melodic and soft vocals, holding the same full-bodied sound as The Cranberries, were haunting as they filled the room with a newly kindled atmosphere. The sound drifted from meditative and calm to loud and powerful.

The song “Tame One” was the emotional highlight of her performance. Each note was raw and stripped-down as Miller’s vocals echoed throughout the room. The crowd shook as the slow song crescendoed into a loud power ballad, with symbols crashing and penetrating the misty air. Miller remained composed and centered amid her band members dynamical-

ly moving to the beat around her; she was the calm within the storm. Guitars reverberated as her first song ended on a commanding note. A stirring opening for the night, Your Friend captured a sound that evoked a sobering rebellion call.

Alex G took the stage next and instantly the atmosphere shifted to accommodate him. Your Friend was the somber and poignant opener, while Alex G was the angst-filled middle act. Through gritted teeth, he held his microphone close, rocking mechanically back and forth while he crooned ’90s grunge refrains that held the audience captive.

There was an unapologetic confidence to Alex G’s music that felt chilling, yet severely personal. In the song “Icehead,” Alex erratically screamed into the microphone, shredding the silence and creating a rift of anger in its place.

As a transition to the final act, Maya Laner of Porches strolled onto the stage to sing a breezy duet with Alex G. She casually grooved to the beat as her angelic voice was introduced to the crowd, a taste of what was to come.

Laner soon returned to the stage with her band, Porches.

As the final act, Porches ended the night with a technicolor bang. Aaron Maine waltzed onto the stage with burning incense in one hand and a beer in the other. Both Laner’s and Maine’s platinum blonde hair was illuminated in the dark as they turned to face away from the audience. They began their first song by synchronically shaking their hips to the beat, creating an effervescent roar from the crowd. They both turned around to face the enthused spectators as they swayed with

Aaron Maine of Porches gave an eccentric performance Thursday. their guitars, fully engrossing the audience in their synth-pop ’80s sound. Maine monotonously stammered “too much fun” into the microphone in between songs, a perfect moment that captured his stage persona.

Porches was reminiscent of the detached pop stars of the ’80s such as The Cars or New Order, yet with an electronic and sedative twist. The crowd fed off of Maine’s eccentricity. His kneesliding across the stage was one of many bizarre moves of the night, including the keyboardist performing a backflip. In a specific instant, Laner strummed her bass while perched on a bandmate’s shoulders in the audience, an artist surrounded by a sea of her followers.

Nearing the end of the night, Maine told the whole crowd to lie down. The audience obeyed as Laner and Maine clutched their microphones and harmo-

niously sung with signature blank faces.

While chanting the meditative stoner hit “Hour,” Maine’s painted nails drifted from clutching his heart to his stomach as he stared in a trance toward the distance. His daring transition to vulnerability signified the deep contextual waters explored in their new album Pool .

When it was time for the show to end, Maine simply retorted “bye” and walked offstage while the wild crowd begged for an encore. “I did it for the notes,” he stated as a testament to his art.

He returned to the stage alone, mumbling “I’m scared I’m gonna forget the words” before strumming the song “Xanny Bar,” a quieting melody to slow the pace and end an enchanting night. Once the stage was dark and the crowd dispersed, the leftover energy hung in the air like a thick mist.

RECORD ROUTINE

Parquet Courts’ latest release fails to live up to hype ALBUM REVIEW

Human Performance Parquet Courts

By Rolands Lauzums THE DAILY CARDINAL

Parquet Courts burst onto the scene with their raucous 2013 release Light Up Gold. Their The Feelies and Television-inspired songs distilled the essence of punk and alternative through clever lyrics conveyed by a monotone slacker drawl over chaotic, messy and fierce power chords. Since that release, people have been waiting for the band to finally make its

mainstream breakthrough. With their most recent album Human Performance on the legendary U.K. indie label Rough Trade, they are making their case for broad recognition, even though it seems that the band has lost something along the way.

Parquet Courts mature on Human Performance but end up losing what made them such a darling of the indie music critics in the first place. The frantic, high-energy songs that headlined their best albums, Light Up Gold and Sunbathing Animal, are too few and far between on Human Performance. Every song has a slower and more deliberate pace.

The album opens up with “Dust” showcasing this change. A slower pace isn’t necessarily bad, but they seem unaccustomed to it.

The songs often meander and lose focus.

The following track, “Human Performance,” shows Parquet Courts’ most straightforward rock track they have ever made.

It starts off promising with a nice delivery by vocalist Andrew Savage which teeters between disaffection and heartbreak. But then the chorus kicks in with the most cliché and trite echo and reverb effects that conjure images of U2 or early ‘00s pop rock bands. It’s by far the most disappointing track in how promising it starts off with the verse, only to have the chorus ruin any goodwill that had accrued up to that point.

Despite the album having vague themes of the night and living in the city (the back of the case goes as far as to suggest to listen to the album at night), the real theme here seems to be disappointment and inconsistency. “Outside” follows “Human

Performance” and is by far the best track. However, the short song is quickly followed by the worst track on the album, “I Was Just Here.” It’s the most throwaway and boring song and exemplifies one of the flaws of the album. The band is completely willing to experiment musically, but that experimentation doesn’t somehow excuse boring music.

There’s nothing appealing in the song, and a lot of the rest of the album falls into that as well.

Across the board, the songs on this album have legitimately good aspects going for them, which are then offset by being meandering and directionless. “One Man No City” is a great example of this.

The first half is, perhaps, Parquet Courts at their best, but at the halfway point, the song switches to a jam that could have easily been ripped from The Velvet

Underground and Nico sessions.

It drags on for such a long time.

It’s not that having long solos and outbursts of noise is inherently bad, but Parquet Courts’ blatant copy of The Velvet Underground’s style isn’t nearly as good and sucks life out of the song.

Human Performance falls far short of Parquet Courts’ other albums. Overall, this is a decent album that is worth a listen.

There are glimmers of brilliance that have always permeated their albums. But this is not the Parquet Courts that received the adoration from so much of the music press. These songs largely refrain from wowing the listener.

The Post-Punk revivalist trappings are here, and there’s certainly experimentation, but it’s not a tight package.

We can’t stifle ideas we don’t agree with SAMANTHA WILCOX opinion columnist

I

am a proud member of the millennial generation. I meet many of the stereotypical expectations of being a millennial; I consider myself to be tech-savvy and plan on voting for Bernie Sanders in my home state’s primary. However, millennials are often written off by members of other generations as entitled, lazy and unable to deal with adversity. While this is obviously a blanket statement and not true in many cases, it is not a stereotype without foundation.

College campuses are some of the most liberal political ecosystems in the country, with UW-Madison being no different.

Young, politically minded students with their lives ahead of them often want to change the world, taking leaps and bounds for social justice. In the days leading up to last week’s Wisconsin primary, murals and messages adorned the walls, stairs and streets of campus encouraging students to vote for Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., a democratic socialist candidate who, according to CNN, garners 83 percent of the vote for those between the ages of 18 and 29. While all of this is fine and dandy, it seems that the message of equality and camaraderie that so many young people shout from the mountain tops is only applicable to people who share the same views.

Recently, students at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor spotted chalk mark-

Although a large number of students may not agree with Trump’s ideals, we still do not have the right to vilify students that support him. ings across campus reading #StopIslam and #Trump2016.

According to the Michigan Daily, instead of shaking the markings off or simply ignoring them, students chose to call the police to report them and have them removed. While I am one of the first people to denounce the hateful and controversial policies that Donald Trump has contributed during his campaign, I am also the first to call bullshit on students who cannot live with opinions that don’t coincide with their own.

It is instances like these where millennials get a reputation for being unable to deal with opposing views or tough situations. We live in a society where social media is a major part of

our lives, where we can selectively choose the opinions we hear about and those we don’t and where many people insist on a visual or written “trigger warning” to precede potentially offensive content. Trigger warnings began as a warning for sufferers of major traumatic experiences such as PTSD, rape or child abuse. However, they have now evolved into examples of extreme political correctness that are used by some to block out all opinions and views that sway from their own.

While you are not required, or even expected, to find the positive in every political candidate, it is imperative that everyone’s right to vote and share their views be treated equally. There is no rea-

son why a Bernie Sanders chalk mural should be heralded while a similar Trump statement is reported as offensive and repulsive. Freedom of speech and the democratic process are some of the things that make the United States such a great country; we shouldn’t isolate ourselves from the views of our opposition because we cannot bear to hear something that is different from our personal mantra.

As I stated at the beginning of this article, I am a proud millennial. However, we as a generation need to practice what we preach and be more accepting of people who don’t agree with us word for word. While I am not expecting anyone to artificially agree with something they don’t, I think that

everyone deserves some basic form of respect, and erasing the political views of someone who supports Donald Trump not only is close-minded but invalidates that person and their right to share their views. Instead of voluntarily isolating ourselves from the opinions we don’t agree with, we should instead acknowledge that everyone has a right to share their views and simply let our voices be heard in the voting booth this November.

The Trump campaign needs to reorganize if they want to win OLIVIA HUGHES opinion columnist

P

residential candidate Donald Trump took a big hit in Wisconsin, and now his resilience is questionable. He was hurt in nearly every demographic category. While not a major blow, this loss does stump his momentum. Maybe his loss is a result of his inability to behave in a presidential manner, or more simply, to behave in a proper manner. Concerns about Trump’s campaign organization are not erroneous, even as he has attributed it to his disagreement with a party that treats him unfairly. His slipups (think: his tangled stance on abortion and issues with his campaign manager) are not easily looked over. However, his lead remains daunting.

His supporters will turn hopeful, his enemies fearful.

According to CNN, Donald Trump has 746 delegates of the 1,237 delegates needed to win the nomination. This means Trump would have to win the remaining

61 percent of delegates.

There is nothing simple about Mr. Trump. He fluctuates. His ideas seem formidable but are nothing more than precarious.

He leaves his supporters cheerful then questioning his abilities, his opponents shocked yet worried. But what has transpired as of late is his dwindling success, and the best part is that it is all his fault. Not a feat of Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, or ambitious anti-Trump groups or supporters having tremendous epiphanies about his credibility. It is due to Donald Trump’s inadequate, inappropriate discipline.

Fast forward to New York, and all at once we have the possibility of Donald Trump regaining success. At a recent rally in Rochester, N.Y., Trump worked to defend his home state by accusing Ted Cruz of possessing “hatred” for the state, and expressing that Cruz would do nothing for New York if he were elected.

This comes after Cruz reinstated his criticism of “New York values” this week. Trump stated that Cruz would “give nothing to New York” and “would never help New York.”

Having lived in New York my whole life, I know that it holds a special quality of nationalism, but also pride. New York City and the surrounding counties, like where Donald Trump is

from, carry a sense of love for America and for family values.

At a rally in Long Island, when Trump condemned Cruz, saying “Remember when he started lecturing me on ‘New York values’ like we’re no good?” New York is a place where values lie in family and American pride, but also in thin crust pizza and the Yankees.

To insult New York values, or to insinuate that such values are bad, or worse than the value any other state has, has cut New Yorkers deeply. Trump, perhaps for the first time in a while, chose nearly perfect wording in addressing New York with “Like we’re no good.”

JON YOON/CARDINAL FILE PHOTO

Once up in the polls, presidential candidate Donald Trump is now behind.

There is nothing simple about Mr. Trump.

With New York not usually being a big deciding factor, as a lot has usually been established

by April, Trump’s words felt shockingly comforting, refreshing, even genuine. In a change of events, New York’s vote matters.

New York values matter.

According to a Fox News Poll, contrary to Wisconsin, where

conservatives loved Cruz as he garnered a primary season high of 65 percent support. In the Empire State, 61 percent of them prefer Trump, and only 19 percent of conservatives choose Cruz.

Trump approached this presidential campaign with the intent to win, but it seems now that he is almost single-handedly breaking the Republican party. This being said, Trump is dominating with 54 percent among likely GOP primary voters and is anticipating a big win.

This possibility is leaving people questioning just as much as

they were before. His supporters will turn hopeful, his enemies fearful. It frightens me to think that my home state could help Trump attain success that he just lost in the state I now reside in. I can only hope that New Yorkers are making wellinformed decisions. But does Donald Trump really have what it takes to locate discipline and professionalism in the disarray that is his campaign?

Ogunbowale, Clement develop close relationship after rocky 2015 season Wisconsin’s dynamic backfield duo complement each other through spring positional battle Story by Jessi Schoville

L

ast season was somewhat of a tumultuous one in the Wisconsin backfield following the departure of Heisman finalist Melvin Gordon, as Corey Clement was poised to take the reigns of the perennial powerhouse that is the Wisconsin running game.

With his sights set on the future and the next level, Clement experienced setbacks that not only derailed his junior season at Wisconsin, but for the time being, his clean path to the National Football League. In the aftermath, a new and widely unknown face took over the Badger backfield: Dare Ogunbowale.

Ogunbowale’s path to the backfield at UW was more of a backcountry road, particularly when compared to the interstate highway that his colleague Clement and other highly touted prospects traveled on their way to the grand theatre that is Division 1 college football. Ogunbowale, however, still finds himself a part of a long-standing tradition at the University of WisconsinMadison: the proud tradition of the walk-on.

The walk-on program at Wisconsin was started in 1990

by Barry Alvarez in the mold of Nebraska, his alma mater, under Tom Osborne. It has fostered Badger legends such as Mark Tauscher, Luke Swan, Jim Leonhard and J.J. Watt who have found enormous success when given an opportunity to play for the Cardinal and White, vaulting many to successful careers

in the NFL. Running backs coach John Settle, who is entering his second year at Wisconsin, has been equally impressed by Ogunbowale’s performance as well as the intangibles he brings to the table.

“He never looked back, he never said ‘I wish.’ He came in, he studied, applied himself and learned the offense,” Settle said.

“Being a smart player, he was able to learn and pick it up quickly. We didn’t know when the season started he was going to be the guy.”

As more players make the switch from defense to offense, such as Alec Ingold and Leon Jacobs, Ogunbowale has become a model not just for defenders moving to running back, but also a shining example for the entire team of what you can do with an opportunity if you have the right attitude.

“I think guys on the team see him as a guy who came in on the other side of the ball, not even in the conversation of playing, but worked himself into a position,” Settle said.

“Every opportunity that you get is the best opportunity.”

Clement, in dramatically different fashion, has dominated the position of running back dating back to his high school career at Glassboro High in New Jersey, where he accumulated 6,245 rushing yards and 90 total touchdowns in his four years. He also broke the single-game state rushing record with a 479-yard performance.

For his efforts, he garnered first-team all-state honors as a junior and drew national attention early and often, receiving in total 15 offers from major schools such as Pittsburgh, Ohio State, Iowa, Florida State, Notre Dame and, of

course, Wisconsin. Following visits to both Nebraska and Notre Dame, Clement visited Madison and committed two weeks later in October 2012.

“He’s got it all. He’s a strong back but he’s also got great speed,” Ogunbowale said of his teammate.

“The ability to do it all is probably his biggest strength.”

Ogunbowale, a high honors student through all four years at Marquette University High School, wasn’t heavily recruited like his counterpart. In fact, he really wasn’t recruited at all.

Ogunbowale, who was elected as a member of his high school’s Leadership Council, didn’t play football until his junior year and did so as a defensive back.

His natural abilities made it a seemingly easy transition, as his senior year he was elected as a team captain and was named to the all-conference team as a defender after tallying 38 tackles and four takeaways.

At this point, Ogunbowale still didn’t play on the offensive side of the ball for his high school team, but did return kicks on occasion. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, his high school coach, Jeff Mazurczak, has said the biggest mistake they made was not playing him on offense.

Coming into the 2015 season, many around Madison expected it to be the “Corey Clement Show,” much like the previous year with Melvin Gordon in the backfield.

However, after suffering a groin injury versus Alabama, which limited Clement to just eight carries for 16 yards in his highly anticipated junior year debut, Clement crossed the Atlantic Ocean, traveling to Munich, Germany to have

Running backs Dare Ogunbowale and Corey Clement have grown closer after an up-and-down 2015 season.

sports hernia surgery.

He returned in triumphant fashion against Big Ten opponent Rutgers, notching 115 yards on just 11 carries. The stellar performance however, despite its limited nature, seemed to take its toll on Clement’s post-surgery condition, forcing him to miss the following game versus Maryland and undoubtedly contributing to a lackluster performance versus Northwestern the following week, in which he accumulated only 24 yards on 10 carries.

Clement took those trials and turned them into a refreshed outlook on his role as a college football teammate.

“Focus on the team and not yourself,” Clement retorted when asked what last season had taught him.

When asked about his changed outlook, which even led to a brief number change, from number 6 to number 24 and back again, Clement said he is “Focusing on the now and being happy that I’m a part of a great team who is also putting in all the hard work just like I am. It would be selfish of me to think about the next level.”

Had it only been injury that disrupted Clement’s 2015 campaign, it’s entirely possible that he would have moved onto the next level and bid adieu to Madison.

However, Clement found himself in more than just physical disrepair.

Following an altercation in his apartment lobby, Clement initially lied to Wisconsin head coach Paul Chryst about his involvement in the matter. With only one game remaining in the regular season, Clement did not travel with the team to their final game in Minnesota. With the extra time off to reassess his role, many figured Clement would return for the Holiday Bowl at the end of December and be the Corey of old, but the feature back only managed 66 yards despite getting 19 touches in Wisconsin’s 23-21 win over USC. With Clement sidelined, it put both Ogunbowale and himself in completely new roles and in a unique situation to learn from one another.

Clement said they helped each other through the tough times by “taking advice from one another and being open-minded and just not being selfish at all.”

Ogunbowale also helped Clement with his “mental toughness and his smartness,” according to Clement.

“Believe it or not I’m one of the guys that looks up to Dare, I’m sure he does to me as well,” Clement said. “I believe he can do anything he puts his mind to.”

When asked how the relationship has developed between himself and Corey from last season, Dare stated, “We are very close friends. We’ve gotten close obviously since I have been a running back but even before that we were

pretty close friends. I hope the best for him, he hopes the best for me, so when one of us was down it wasn’t hard for us to get lifted up by one another. He’s definitely been helpful through the whole situation and I try to do the same for him.”

Clement, long considered the heir apparent, was put into the position of mentor, while Ogunbowale was suddenly not only in a completely new position, but also in a new situation, as he was now the lead back at a Big Ten school known for the position he held. Rather than let their obstacles and competitive nature drive them apart from one another, Clement and Ogunbowale turned it into an opportunity to learn from one another. Ogunbowale, a scholar and a natural leader, and Clement, a successful back with clear NFL potential: a match made in heaven.

“I think they’ve grown close together. I think some of the things that happened with Corey off the field has kind of given those two something to talk about, something to work through.

Dare saw that as an opportunity to help a friend, help a brother, help a teammate,” Settle said. “It’s interesting, you see them coaching one another and at the same time knowing they are competing against each other. I think it’s brought them together but at the same time I think it’s brought the group together.”

Now entering a new season, both backs are at full speed and competing for reps in a deep and talented roster. Clement, the returning proven back, and Ogunbowale, last year’s knight in shining armor that helped salvage a tough season and an even tougher situation.

“This whole ride has been a lot different than I expected,” Ogunbowale said, reflecting on last season and the journey that led to this point. “It’s a privilege to be able to carry the ball at a school like Wisconsin with the past success we’ve had. I definitely don’t take that for granted and I try to go into each practice thinking that way.”

With the relationships in the backfield stronger than ever and with a full deck of cards, the Badger backfield is ready to return to its place as one of the best units in the Big Ten and perhaps the entire country.

Clement sees this as a plan, not a prediction, citing the new competitiveness at the position within the program.

“I think we can feed off one another and the competitiveness in us is only going to make us better each day,” Clement said.

Ogunbowale added, “That little bit more of experience brings more confidence, with the experience I had last year, I hope to build on that this season. Confidence is one of the best things a football player can have.”
