Public reacts to Walker’s tuition freeze

By Andrew Hahn THE DAILY CARDINAL

Gov. Scott Walker announced in a statement Friday an additional two-year tuition freeze for the University of Wisconsin System in his next budget.

Walker’s previous budget instituted the first two-year tuition freeze in the system’s history, and he said in the statement he would like to see the freeze continue to improve college affordability.

Walker cited a $1 billion projected surplus in the UW System’s budget as one reason for his proposal.

“After years of tuition hikes, it is important to give our students and their families a break,” Walker said in the statement. “Our proposed second

Mangelsdorf named new provost

By Emily Gerber THE DAILY CARDINAL

After over a five-month search process, Chancellor Rebecca Blank announced on Twitter Thursday the new provost and vice chancellor of academic affairs.

Sarah Mangelsdorf will assume the university position for the 2014’15 academic year, which oversees UW-Madison curricular, student and faculty campus life, diversity initiatives and enrollment.

“As I researched this role, I found that the people I talked to had uniformly enthusiastic things to say about the University of WisconsinMadison,” Mangelsdorf said in a UW-Madison release. “I am particularly excited to partner with Rebecca Blank and help build on the many strengths at UW.” Mangelsdorf currently serves as dean of Northwestern University’s Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, a position she has held since 2008.

Blank said in the release Mangelsdorf’s previous experience gives her the necessary skills to serve as both provost and vice chancellor.

“She is both a top-ranked professor and a first-class administrator,” Blank said in the release.

“This expanse of experience will give her the ability to understand and lead our campus.”

“I think being provost at the Madison campus is absolutely one of the better positions in higher education.”

Paul DeLuca outgoing provost UW-Madison

The search began after Paul DeLuca announced June 2013 that he would step down from the leadership position and return to the faculty after a sabbatical.

DeLuca said while he enjoyed his five-year tenure, he looks forward to relinquishing the position to Mangelsdorf and believes she will serve the role well.

“I think being provost at the Madison campus is absolutely one of the better positions in higher education, and I have loved every minute of it,” DeLuca said. “I’m

absolutely delighted that she’s appointed. I think she’s going to do a terrific job.”

A 17-person search committee was compiled by various shared governance committees and consisted of academic staff, classified staff, faculty members, deans and students.

The committee reviewed the applicants and provided a “short list” of recommended candidates to the chancellor who made the final decision.

Joan Schmit, chair of the search committee, said though each of the four presented recommendations were supported equally by the committee, she feels Mangelsdorf will fit the role well.

“I think she’ll be phenomenally good, I am delighted that she is going to join us—I think she has a set of experiences and talents that will allow her to be quite successful,” Schmit said. “Of course, Provost DeLuca has put us in a good position, so she comes in with a lot of strength already.”

Mangelsdorf is set to arrive in Madison Aug. 4 in time to start her work for the 2014-’15 school year.

two-year tuition freeze will go a long way to helping working families and students have access to higher education.”

UW System President Raymond Cross reaffirmed his commitment to college affordability in a response to Walker’s statement.

“We will continue to work with the governor and the Legislature to meet our shared goal of delivering value to the state of Wisconsin,” Cross said in the statement. “I intend to work vigorously to find a reasonable solution. I am confident that we can get the best budget possible for the university.”

The System’s statement clarified that only $38 million of

Associate Dean of Students is just one title used to describe Argyle Wade. Those outside of the University of WisconsinMadison, however, know him as a husband, father and volunteer firefighter.

On a day-to-day basis at the university, Wade works chiefly with four departments within the Division of Student Life, including International Student Services, the

LGBT Campus Center, the Multicultural Student Center and the McBurney Disability Resource Center.

One of Wade’s main duties is to provide these departments with resources in an attempt to connect students and programs that may otherwise have difficulty reaching each other. In addition, he said he promotes their activities and involvement across

The Dirty Bird sex and the student body

edit@dailycardinal.com

Tuesday: sunny

Michael Podgers sex columnist Dear Dirty Bird, Simple question: What’s the BEST sex position!? There has got to be one that is going to get my partner off every time, and I need to know what it is.

T

his is probably the most common question for sex educators, ever, without a doubt! People are really into knowing the best sex position, and apparently the idea has spread that there is one position built for all people, regardless of body type, kinks, sexuality, etc.

Unfortunately, this is far from true. In fact, every individual will find certain positions are best for them and may even change depending on whether they’re the receptive or insertive partner, the orifice being penetrated and our partner’s likes, dislikes and abilities. Fortunately, there are ways to work around this and figure out how to take what we have and find a position that is BEST for us at any particular time with any particular partner.

Sex positions can be broken down into a pretty basic formula with four or five base positions, which we can modify as we go into a myriad of new options. You know the 750 new sex positions “Cosmopolitan” announces on every new issue? Those are all based off the base positions I’ll outline below.

There are a few caveats and terms to go over though. The first and most important is any couple can successfully bang using any position. It doesn’t matter if the penetrative partner has a penis or a dildo, or whether it’s an anus or vagina getting filled; people of all

body types can perform all positions. The terms are insertive/ receptive partner(s) or top/bottom. These two sets mean the same things, but are sometimes used in different contexts. The partner who is the insertive partner, or top, is the person who is penetrating the other parter and the receptive partner equates to bottom. The terms top/bottom are often used exclusively within the queer community, but for the sake of simplicity, I’ll be using them here instead of insertive/ receptive partner(s).

sionary position was actually the position considered by Christian missionaries to be the most appropriate way to have sex, which we all know is subjective. The position is performed with the bottom lying on their back and the top lying over them face-to-face. This position can run the gamut from super intimate to intense, hard sex.

Being face-to-face allows partners the benefit of eye contact and they can easily kiss each other or hug.

The position of the top and bottom though also allows for slow and deep or fast and hard penetration.

Cardinal Kama Sutra

The Dirty Bird Graphic by Mikaela Albright

The four categories of base positions are missionary, rear entry, side entry and receptive partner (bottom) on top. If we can learn these and what type of sensations they create, we can modify them in so many ways as to make positions of our own.

Missionary position is kind of like the go-to sex position in our society. I say this because in a lot of non-Western societies, the go-to position is rear entry. But I’ll get to that in a second. The mis-

On this day in history...

1777­—New York adopts a new constitution as an independent state after learning it cannot naturally have one.

1831—Soldiers marching on a bridge in Manchester, England cause it to collapse.

But the obscure nursery rhyme “Manchester Bridge is Falling Down” never gains popularity.

1935—The United States’ worst ever sandstorm ravages the midwest. But it couldn’t have been as bad as the sandstorm that ravaged the Cedarburg High School dance floor at homecoming 2012.

1948—New York City subway fares jump from five cents to 10 cents, nearly doubling in price.

The rear entry position (or doggy style), which many people use as a go-to position is when the top enters from the rear while the bottom kneels facing away.

This is a very carnal position and although it can be performed deep and slow, it really facilitates faster or more intense penetration. It is not as intimate, because there is less face-to-face contact and probably little ability to kiss, but it does facilitate rough sex and things like hair pulling, holding onto the bot-

tom’s waist for control and even reaching around the bottom’s torso to play with their genitalia or the front of their bottom. It can also make it easy to spank our bottoms during sex.

Then we have receptive partner on top, this is when the bottom partner rides the top, or as many people like to call it, cowgirl or cowboy. I’m just going to call it riding because we all get what that is and it doesn’t force anybody to be explicitly a boy or girl. Anyhow, this is a super fun position. It allows for deep penetration and a lot of hip work, maybe even some twerking. And, it can be easily reversed to totally change up the types of sensations we experience. This is also a really great position if the bottom is feeling like they want more control or for first time sex.

The bottom is in total control of the depth, speed and intensity of penetration on this one.

And finally we have side entry.

This is going to a great position if we’re looking for something really intimate. It’s spooning banging! Because we’re lying on our sides in this position, getting really fast and intense penetration might be a little more difficult.

But that’s not a problem, because this allows for intimate sex when we can easily embrace our partner. Reaching around and playing with genitalia is super easy for the top in this position, as well as whispering sweet nothings into our partner’s ear.

So next time you’re getting it on, think about this nifty piece to explore new sex positions. Put a pillow somewhere, move an arm, raise a leg… or legs. Stick a third (or fourth… or fifth) person in for good measure. Tie somebody up, down or around and see what happens.

Board of Regents seeks to increase budget clarity The University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents met April 10 and 11 to vote on proposed changes to UW System’s budget format, which aim to improve the budget’s transparency.

The board unanimously resolved to use new budget reporting methods designed to show clearer and more accurate fiscal information for the public and the state government.

David Miller, UW senior vice president for Administration and Fiscal Affairs, presented to the board a new representation of the system’s budget, which is designed to simplify budget information and show fiscal trends over longer periods of time.

UW System President Raymond Cross said he hopes to see new, more accurate budget forecasting methods readily available for reference.

He added that current projections, which only look one or two years into the future, lack important information about long-term fiscal trends.

“We’re hopeful to increase your confidence in how our

finances are managed on a daily basis,” Cross said, addressing the regents.

Regent Margaret Farrow said she was happy with the new representations of the UW’s budget, and said she hoped it would clear up public confusion about such a complicated issue.

“If I had to separate my personal life, my home life, from my work life, it would be difficult,” Wade said. “When they work together, that’s the best.”

In addition to his work at UW-Madison, Wade also works as a volunteer firefighter. He said it helps him to take nothing for granted and allows him to feel like he is helping people.

“I was really looking for a way to be involved in the community and give back to the community, but do it in a way that was more active,” Wade said.

In a final message to students about their time on campus, Wade said he hopes they appreciate the unique opportunities UW-Madison offers.

“I just really challenge students to hold this opportunity here pretty precious because it’s not something everybody gets to have,” he said.

campus and communicates these to Dean of Students Lori Berquam.

Wade helped put together the Ad Hoc Committee responsible for assembling the new campus diversity plan, a key issue in student life right now. He emphasized the importance of dialogue in developing the plan, adding that the process is “not necessarily easy or over.”

Outside of his work at the university, Wade is a father and a husband, and said he looks to integrate his family and work lives while also maintaining a balance between the two. He said he likes to get his family involved in events around campus, noting he attended the Wunk Sheek Spring Pow Wow with his children earlier this month.

“We’re hopeful to increase your confidence in how our finances are managed on a daily basis.”

Raymond Cross president UW System

Farrow added that figures like the UW’s projected $1 billion budget surplus can be misleading, and the new budget models could break down statistics to give a simpler, more exact representation of the system’s budget situation.

The board will vote on its annual operating budget in June and its biennial budget request for the state Legislature in August.

“It is absolutely essential that higher education be more affordable,” Communications Director Joe Zepecki said in the release.

“But that doesn’t address the long term need for the UW System to remain a core driver of our state’s economy and of ensuring access to higher education for Wisconsin students.”

Madison’s Community Development Division is attempting to initiate a nonprofit program to provide support systems for youths and families who appear before the Madison Municipal Court.

The new request for the proposal program seeks to bring positive outcomes from court appearances and reduce the reincarceration rate in the city.

Currently, 66 percent of offenders are likely to re-commit their crimes, according to the United Way of Dane County website.

This is an issue the MMC Youth and Family Services program will address to ensure that youths do not continue their offenses.

Everett Mitchell, an assistant Dane County district attorney, emphasized the importance of providing support for troubled youths during a Race to Equity panel discussion April 2. Mitchell said University of Wisconsin law students should look into programs that provide the support youths and former criminals need to avoid first or future offenses.

Services the program aims to provide include supervised community service, life skills training, family counseling and employment support for families and youths brought before the MMC, according to the Community Development Division’s request for proposal.

The city is accepting applications from feasible bidders to carry out the project, which can be downloaded from the website.

Applications from bidders must be submitted before the deadline on May 12 at 12 p.m. said in a statement Friday they were encouraged by the UW System’s efforts toward transparency.

“We fully support Governor Walker’s call for another two-year freeze on tuition,” the legislators said in the statement. “The freeze will help make our world-class university system more affordable.”

The joint committee introduces the governor’s recommended state budget to the Legislature for passage each biennium. The Legislature will vote on a state budget when it reconvenes after November elections.

Classified Staff Executive Committee to create representative congress Months after its recognition within the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s shared governance structure, the Classified Staff Executive Committee will hold elections for a representative campus congress.

The Classified Staff Congress will include one representative from each of the 106 districts that divide classified staff members on campus, as well as one alternate representative from each district.

Classified staff members will vote on representatives within their respective districts. A list of who is in

each district, as well as forms for declaring candidacy, will be mailed out to classified staff April 14, according to a UW-Madison release.

“Shared governance is all about having your voice heard in the rooms where the decisions are being made,” CSEC Chair Russell Kutz said in the release. “The more people we have speaking on behalf of classified staff, the sooner our priority issues will be addressed.”

The first round of elections will be in June, with a final round to follow in July.

‘Bates Motel’ an uneasy take on Hitchcock callie kollenbroich regis and callie Let’s talk about Alfred Hitchcock—master of suspense and arguably categorized among some of the greatest American filmmakers of all time. One of his most acclaimed thrillers, as well as one of my personal favorites, was the 1960 American classic, “Psycho.” Some critics called it the most terrifying film ever made. It was not only groundbreaking stylistically but ideologically as well. Having wanted it to retain the look and feel of a cheap exploitation flick, “Psycho” featured sexually explicit content and brutal violence that was largely frowned upon by studio censors—it had a shower scene before the shower scene was a thing. Whether or not you agree, cinephiles of the last fifty years continue to applaud him as a pioneer in the industry for his precise pacing and ability to subvert our expectations through meticulous plot construction, impressive camerawork and clever editing, among other things.

So what does this all have to do with TV? The circumstances of “Psycho”’s production were in line with the tradition of television. It was shot on a cheap budget with the help of the crew he employed for his television series, “Alfred Hitchcock Presents.” For this reason, I suppose it isn’t too outlandish for A&E to have unveiled their interesting take on the American classic, “Bates Motel.”

I’m sure by now your faces have contorted into various looks of disdain. Who dare try to recreate the work of Hitchcock, master craftsman and one of cinema’s most championed auteurs... for TV? The answer is creator Anthony Cipriano, I guess. Bold move, Anthony.

Who dare try to recreate the work of Hitchcock, master craftsman and one of cinema’s most championed auteurs... for TV?

So how does Hitchcock fair in the hands of the modern-day showrunner? I’m scratching my head for a number of reasons.

First of all, “Bates Motel” is rather difficult to classify. The show presents itself as a prequel to “Psycho.” Like any prequel, the series seems to revolve around the events that took place before the untimely death of Norman’s mother, which is hinted at towards the end of the film. The Bates mansion and the motel itself were replicated convincingly, and the show has exhibited various homages to

classic murder scenes. Similarly, it explains and elaborates on some of Norman’s most notable quirks, for example, his fascination with taxidermy.

But the similarities appear to stop here. For example, the two works diverge drastically in terms of time. Though it retains a lingering feeling of the past, “Bates Motel” technically takes place in the ongoing present, complete with iPhones and today’s Top 40. The show’s writers have also decided to give Norman a brother, and there is an added plot element involving the hidden criminal nature of the small town in which the Bates Motel resides.

Despite all of this, the cast of “Bates Motel” is spot on.

The Norman in “Bates Motel” (Freddie Highmore) is likeable, emits an aura of innocence and is reminiscent of the original Norman in the film. Though Highmore’s performance is wellfitting as the budding psychopath we have all come to know and love, the real star of the show isn’t Norman but Norma (Vera Farmiga)—real creative— his ever present mother who remained unnamed in the film.

Throughout the majority of “Psycho,” Norman’s mother was a rather elusive character whose voice only echoed throughout the halls of their mansion or whose silhouette could be seen perched like a vulture through the upstairs window. In the movie, we never see her face because—plot twist—she’s been dead for years. But the mother in “Bates Motel” is quite different than the skeleton that’s revealed in the film. She is very much alive, in every sense of the word.

I guess we know where the show is headed. Norman’s psyche continues to deteriorate and if “Bates Motel” wishes to remain true to its predecessor, Norma’s days are waning, which would be a real shame since I am convinced that “Bates Motel” cannot survive without Norma—the actual Norma, not Norman in a wig masquerading as his mother.

Though Hitchcock himself was no stranger to television, I’m not so sure a small screen homage suits a film like “Psycho,” which relied so heavily on illusion and audience naivete. Hitchcock often went to great lengths to conceal his brilliant plot twists—even the movie posters plastered around cities warned viewers not to reveal the surprises. We’ve had 50 years to watch the film and mull it over, so I think it’s safe to say we should all be aware of the surprise. Unless Cipriano has his own Hitchcock-ian plot twists hidden up his sleeves, “Bates Motel” doesn’t rattle my bones like the original “Psycho.”

Do you prefer “Bates Motel” to Hitchcock’s “Psycho?” Let Callie know why at kollenbroic@wisc.edu.

RECORD ROUTINE

New Aimee Mann and Ted Leo collaboration fails to impress

The Both The Both

By Samuel Johnson The Daily Cardinal

What do you get when you combine a modest indie pop star and a pop-less alternative punk star? Aimee Mann and Ted Leo’s The Both comes to mind. The two music veterans joined forces in the last couple of years to find the right harmony between their starkly different voices and make an album reflecting the results. The self-titled debut album combines the gritty, distorted punk sound Leo is all too familiar with, and the niche feel-good acoustic pop sound Mann has grown to master. While some of the songs blend into one another, the album as a whole sounds refined, polished and what one would expect from two people who have been writing music their whole lives. However, their age might be catching up with them, as this album offers nothing new. It’s a safe, easy-sounding record that differs from their individual work, which embodied traits of

painstaking effort and all-out emotional commitment.

Throughout the album, it’s easy to see where one of the two took the helm and the other offered some consulting production and harmonic vocals. Opener “The Gambler” has Leo’s classic-punk elements like distorted, heavy guitar and simplified song structure. Mann contributes a well-balanced harmony and refreshing vocals. The following track “Milwaukee” has all the ingredients of an energetic, summertime single with Mann’s charming vocals, fastpaced guitar, and an emotional investment that outperforms the previous song.

[The Both] is a safe, easy-sounding record that differs from their individual work.

The Both shines on songs “No Sir,” “Honesty is No Excuse” and “Bedtime Stories.” The reason comes down to the simple explanation that neither Mann nor Leo felt they had to carry the song or put more effort than the other. They allow for their natural talents to combine and produce impressive, fresh

tracks. “No Sir” has a ballad tone in Mann’s voice, pretty guitar accents from Leo in the back and a wonderful synth/ guitar layering to charge the song to the end. “Honesty Is No Excuse” uses Mann for primary vocals and Leo’s signature guitar sound as the backbone. It tries not to bore listeners while at the same time not overloading them with sound from two artists of different sides of the rock spectrum. The balance settles on these few tracks, keeping the album from falling short.

Mann and Leo are respected, talented veterans of the indie music scene. They inspire younger acts and progressed their own genres in important ways, but this time around they focused too much on perfecting the harmony between their voices and not on producing an album that feels whole-hearted and worth praise. While some songs affirm their musical prowess, others blend into each other, giving off a sense of lackadaisical craftsmanship and unenthused writing. A nice debut overall, The Both’s The Both does not take anything away from the collaboration of two talented individuals, but it sure does not add anything.

US has moral obligation in providing foreign aid AARON DURLAUF opinion columnist

I

n 2000, the United Nations adopted the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), a set of eight humanitarian missions to be completed by 2015. The goals included eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, universal primary education, gender equality, reduction of child mortality rates, improvement of maternal health, combatting diseases such as HIV/AIDS and malaria, ensuring environmental sustainability and the creation of a global partnership for development. Each of the goals was also set with specific numerical

milestones to track the project.

The United Nations’ 2013 report on the MDG reveals that there has been substantial progress on some of the goals.

Most impressively, the proportion of people living in extreme poverty declined by 50 percent between 1990 and 2010. On the other hand, millions are still suffering from inadequate nutrition, access to clean water, medical resources and a good education.

The UN report also documented the level of aid being provided by developed countries has been declining, disproportionately affecting the very poorest countries. This trend seems consistent with my observations about public discourse over foreign aid. With many politicians focusing their rhetoric on spending cuts, suggestions that foreign aid should

be cut are hardly uncommon.

The effects of foreign aid are disputed. Jeffrey Sachs, American economist, has argued in favor of increasing foreign aid on the grounds that it can stabilize developing countries and promote economic growth.

William Easterly, another American economist, has criticized Sachs contending that the types of interventions that Sachs has advocated for are often inefficient or ineffective at stimulating growth. The view that foreign aid does not work constitutes a second reason why support for it has declined.

The primary motivation of affluent countries such as the United States in providing humanitarian aid to developing countries should be to reduce suffering. While many aid pro-

grams may be of questionable efficacy, there are some, such as vaccinations and food distribution, that we know to reduce suffering at relatively little cost to donor nations. (The United States spends approximately 1 percent of its budget on foreign aid.) In my view, the debate over aid and growth is off point to the extent it leads away from a focus on the humanitarian justifications for aid.

As citizens of an affluent country and students at a leading university, we are morally obligated to help those worldwide who are struggling due to extreme poverty. I do not think this means every citizen or student is required to make personal donations to various causes, but I do think it means we should conduct our civic lives in a way that is conscious

of the fact that the suffering of someone on the other side of the world is just as real and matters just as much as someone here. I am not arguing the United States or any other affluent country should suddenly ignore self-interest, rather my argument is that we could, with relatively little sacrifice, do others a massive amount of good. This means taking the Millennium Development Goals seriously and making the necessary financial and political investments to pursue them.

Do you agree with Aaron that we must not forget the primary goal of foreign aid amid the political rhetoric? What are our obligations as students and the next generation of workers? Please send all feedback or responses to opinion@dailycardinal.com.

Letter To The Editor

Student-athletes should lead the way in collective action LIZ SHULER AFL-CIO Secretary Treasurer

T

he headlines are Northwestern University and unionized college sports, but the storyline is universal and highlights an opportunity for us all. Forget the fretting pundits who conjure up endless what ifs. The truth is, the football players at Northwestern understand the power of collective action and the meaning of a fair deal.

We’d all be better off understanding the same.

You see, one player standing alone against institutions as powerful as Northwestern or the National Collegiate Athletic Association faces some pretty tough odds. But when a majority of players come together, that’s a game changer. That’s how collective bargaining lifts up whole groups of people—from individual workplaces to the community at large.

Students and universities in general, could do with more than a little lifting up.

That’s why it’s so disappointing to hear university representatives echo the kinds of comments we hear from anti-worker politicians and CEOs, who cajole and bully workers with lies and scare tactics. We deal with this kind of stuff every day. America has been playing college football for more than one hundred years and we’ve cheered for our school teams every season. But college football is no longer just an extracurricular activity or a booster for alumna. It’s big business. The truth is the NCAA makes a lot of money from college sports, and so do universities. Both also exert control over pretty much every aspect of the student-athletes’ lives, and the pressure on players to produce is at an all-time high. But that’s just it—no one has sat down to seriously address the impact of this new regime on the players. And that’s why the Northwestern play-

ers stopped waiting for someone else to come up with a solution and have stood up for themselves, collectively.

The NCAA is a financial powerhouse with assets of more than half a trillion dollars. The universities, too, are major institutions.

They’re not push-overs. No one has to worry about their interests. No corporation or institution of that size will change easily or overnight—and the effects won’t be isolated to Northwestern or football players. Think of the era, not long ago, when universities outsourced official apparel to the developing world where textile companies forced workers to labor in dangerous conditions for rockbottom wages. Students organized themselves and founded United Students Against Sweatshops, which has built a powerful presence on over 150 campuses over the past two decades and won groundbreaking campaigns for fair labor practices for the men and women who make college gear.

Last week, U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) highlighted the big problem of student debt, which has topped one trillion dollars. He also pointed out the increasingly stratified world of higher education, where a low-performing, highincome high school student has an 80 percent chance of going to college, compared to a high-performing, low-income student with only a 20 percent chance of going to college. That’s wrong. America’s postsecondary education system should be a defender of meritocracy, not the opposite. That’s why earlier this year students and organizations like the AFL-CIO launched the Higher Ed Not Debt campaign to tackle the crippling and ever-growing issue of student loan debt in America.

And the growing movement doesn’t stop there. When adjunct professors at Duquesne University were being denied fair benefits and pay, they organized in collective action. When food service workers at Pomona College were being treated poorly, they organized in

collective action.

The atrocities of sweatshops.

Growing student debt. Low pay for adjunct professors. Mistreatment of food-service workers. These issues needed rebalancing in the modern era. Certainly, most people recognize the need for a similar rebalancing when it comes to the NCAA. Who better to provide that balance than the student-athletes themselves? What’s happening in college sports is another movement of people understanding what’s possible through collective action.

And it’s being led by the people who know it best, who live it and work it every day. These are the kinds of movements that give us all hope and that helps to lift us.

Senior Petr Satral kept his team competitive with Michigan State by winning the No. 1 singles match Friday.

Wisconsin extends skid with losses to Michigan teams

By Jim Dayton THE DAILY CARDINAL

In a two-game weekend home stand against Michigan State and Michigan, the Badgers could not break out of their prolonged cold spell, losing both matches 4-3.

No. 74 Wisconsin (1-8 Big Ten, 9-13 overall) came into the weekend having lost four straight matches and seven of its last eight. All of the Badgers’ eight previous matches were against ranked opponents.

Wisconsin began the weekend Friday night against unranked Michigan State (3-6, 9-13). The Spartans were also stuck in a late season rough patch with five losses in their last seven matches.

Michigan State swept the doubles round and won the first two singles matches to take an early 3-0 lead. From there, Wisconsin senior Petr Satral and junior Michael Sinha captured victories at the No. 1 and No. 5 singles spots to tighten the score to 3-2.

In a closely contested match at No. 3, the Spartans pulled off a 7-6 (6), 7-5 win to clinch victory and put an end to the Badgers’ comeback attempt.

On Sunday, No. 50 Michigan (4-5, 12-11) made quick work of

the Badgers. The Wolverines won the doubles point and the first three singles matches to earn the win. Wisconsin sophomore Alexander Kokorev, sophomore Jakhongir Jalalov and Sinha won the last three singles matches of the day to narrow the final tally to 4-3.

This weekend marked the end of the Badgers’ home schedule.

Wisconsin finished 9-5 at Nielsen Tennis Stadium but has yet to win on the road.

“Overall the Big Ten conference is so strong,” said head coach Greg Van Emburgh. “We want to stay positive and confident and utilize the opportunities we have when we’re in the position to.”

Wisconsin began the season 8-4 and reached No. 49 in the rankings released March 4 before the team’s struggles began. The Badgers have been without their No. 1 singles player, sophomore Oskar Wikberg, for the last three matches due to an ankle injury.

Wisconsin finishes off the regular season next weekend with a trip south to face Northwestern and Illinois before the Big Ten tournament begins April 24.

The Badgers have missed their usual No. 1 singles player, sophomore Oskar Wikberg, for their last three matches.

Wisconsin was hoping to snap their four-match losing streak when it traveled to Michigan this weekend to take on a pair of quality conference foes.

However, the Badgers (2-7 Big Ten, 7-10 overall) were unable to find much success, dropping consecutive matches against No. 60 Michigan State and No. 14 Michigan to push their losing streak to six.

UW’s weekend started Friday in East Lansing, Mich., where they lost 6-1 to the Spartans (5-4, 17-6).

Michigan State clinched the doubles point early on by winning the first two matches.

The Spartans’ junior Julianne Gruber and sophomore Emily Meyers topped redshirt sophomore Nova Patel and sophomore Anastasia Tripolskaya 8-3 in No.

dominance from page 8 “If you’re able to get pressure it gives your big hitters an opportunity to do what Mueller did,” Healy said. “She hit three home runs, but they weren’t solo home runs. It’s a dagger when you’ve got those runners on base.”

Saturday, the teams took the field for the final game of the series and Wisconsin squeaked out the win, 3-2.

UW took control in the first inning, scoring two runs thanks

2 doubles, while the country’s No. 57-ranked doubles team of senior Marina Bohrer and freshman Erin Faulkner cruised to an 8-2 victory in No. 1 doubles over Wisconsin sophomores Lauren Burich and Lauren Chypyha.

Wisconsin’s lone point came courtesy of Tripolskaya, who rallied after dropping the first set to beat junior Catherine Parenteau in No. 3 singles 3-6, 6-4, 1-0.

The Badgers didn’t fare much better Sunday in Ann Arbor, losing 6-1 to the Big Tenleading Wolverines.

Like the Spartans, Michigan (9-0, 17-3) captured the doubles point by winning the first two matches.

The No. 15-ranked doubles team of senior Brooke Bolender and junior Emina Bektas beat Burich and Chypyha 8-2 in No.

1 doubles.

Junior Sarah Lee and sophomore Amy Zhu, the nation’s No. 79-ranked doubles team, followed that up by dominating Patel and Tripolskaya 8-1 in No. 2 doubles.

Tripolskaya once again recorded UW’s only point by winning her singles match, this time beating sophomore Ronit Yurovsky, the country’s No. 20-ranked player.

Tripolskaya once against fought back from a first set loss, upsetting Yurovsky 0-6, 7-5, 1-0 in what was the highlight of an otherwise forgettable weekend for the Badgers.

UW returns home next weekend, hosting Northwestern and Illinois to close out the regular season.

to a rally from the top of the lineup, but the bats went cold after that.

Illinois scored one run in both the second and third innings to tie the game at two apiece. The Badgers offense couldn’t muster up another run until the sixth inning when sophomore second baseman Ashley Van Zeeland hit a chopper up the middle, and beat out the throw to first. The infield single sent a familiar face home; Mueller scored the winning run.

In both of the Badgers’ 3-2 wins, senior pitcher Cassandra Darrah was able to get the win in a low scoring affair. She pitched complete games in both of her appearances, bringing her to 19 on the season. She leads the Badgers with 13 wins and holds a 2.66 ERA. The Badgers have a Wednesday night doubleheader at home against UW-Green Bay (3-2, 14-7). The first game begins at 3 p.m. with the second starting 20 minutes after the first game ends.

Spring game features murky QB battle Cardinal team tops White 6-0 with two Russell field goals

By Andrew Tucker THE DAILY CARDINAL

With temperatures as high as they’ve been all spring, it seemed like a beautiful, mid-fall day when the Badgers took the field for their annual spring game.

The only differences: Camp Randall Stadium wasn’t jam packed, and Wisconsin was the only team to take the field.

The spring game was similar to a practice, where the first team offense played the second team defense and vice versa. This allowed the coaches to focus on one side of the ball for evaluation. The first half was pretty loose, with different groups of players coming out and playing for different amounts of times and situations. The second half was much more scheduled and was more similar to a game.

In the first half, the first team offense put on a showcase that they are capable of scoring in a number of ways.

Sophomore running back Corey Clement rushed for a touchdown on the first drive.

Shortly after, redshirt junior quarterback Tanner McEvoy threw a pinpoint pass behind a defender into the arms of div-

“Jack has been hitting the ball pretty cleanly. It came off his foot nicely today.”

Gary Andersen head coach Wisconsin football

“It was the perfect ball, it can’t get better than that,” Doe said. “I knew he was going to throw it with the way the

defense lined up.”

In the second half, the defense took control. They swarmed into the backfield consistently, pass or run.

McEvoy was forced to scramble more, and the running backs were stuffed at or behind the line frequently. Despite losing eight significant contributors from the defensive trench, the returning Badgers formed a stout front line.

“Everyone is molding together, everyone is learning together. We have a bunch of smart guys, so they’re learning the concepts right away,” redshirt senior linebacker Michael

Trotter said.

Two of the biggest question marks coming into the spring were the quarterback and kicking positions.

“[McEvoy] can get out of the pocket and scramble. and then make the throw.”

Kenzel Doe wide receiver Wisconsin football

The quarterback competition is turning out to be a close battle.

Last year’s starter, redshirt junior Joel Stave did not play Saturday due to a shoulder injury.

There were high expectations for freshman D.J. Gillins. He scrambled a few times and his arm was lackluster, missing his only pass attempt.

With McEvoy switching from defense last year, he looked like the best option on the field during the spring game.

“You can tell Tanner really wants to be the quarterback here,” Doe said. “He can get out of the pocket and scramble, and then make the throw.”

In the kicking game, junior Jack Russell and sophomore Andrew Endicott both missed 44-yard field goals. Russell had a few more attempts than Endicott, but the junior also missed a 35-yarder.

Head coach Gary Andersen is still confident in Russell’s ability, as well as the ability of the special teams as a whole.

“Jack has been hitting the ball pretty cleanly. It came off his foot nicely today,” Andersen said.

“We seem to be in good shape in terms of snapping and holding, and we should be.”

Fall practices are still a ways away, but after losing key seniors, a young team has gelled and both sides of the ball played at a high level in the Spring Game. Andersen is pleased about where his team is at right now.

“Overall, mission accomplished,” Andersen said. “[I’m] proud of the way the kids handled spring, all 15 practices.”

Wisconsin continues dominance over Illinois

By Andrew Tucker THE DAILY CARDINAL

When Badger softball players see Illinois (2-10 Big Ten, 18-18 overall) on the schedule, they have a good reason to get excited.

Including this weekend’s three-game sweep, Wisconsin (6-5, 22-15) has beaten the Fighting Illini in the last seven games over the course of three seasons.

The first game Friday featured an abundance of hitting by the Badgers, but very little scoring, with UW winning 3-2. The Badgers loaded the bases in the first, second and fourth innings without scoring a run.

While they struggled to drive in the runs early, they also loaded the bases in the fifth and seventh, scoring two and one run respectively.

“Of course you want to push runs across when you’ve got chances, but we always talk about pressure and what that does,” head coach Yvette Healy said. “I think the fact that we were able to put people on like that the whole game kept the pressure on them.”

If scoring was sparse in the first game, the second game was the exact opposite, with the Badgers winning 10-3.

This was due mostly to senior third baseman Michelle Mueller

hitting three home runs and knocking in eight RBIs, breaking the previous Wisconsin single game record of seven by Molly Spence in 2010.

Hitting home runs isn’t usually UW’s forte, as they generally favor a small ball approach with a lot of singles and stolen bases.

“Small ball creates chaos, and luckily for the hitters when that happens, we have the chance to put the ball over the fence because pitchers are frustrated, so they leave one hanging,” Mueller said.

Mueller’s first home run of the night was a two run bomb that came in the first inning, setting the tone for the rest of the night. She came up again in the second inning after senior outfielder Mary Massei and senior shortstop Stephanie Peace were walked, and proceeded to make Illinois junior pitcher Shelese Arnold pay with a three-run moonshot.

The Badgers had a 5-3 lead the next time Mueller came up to bat, but she showed no mercy with a two-run homer that smacked off the top of the scoreboard.

Healy gave credit to Mueller, but also emphasized the fact that her whole team played well.
