Students react to Mifflin’s cancellation By Melissa Howison THE DAILY CARDINAL

2012 Mifflin Street block party goers attend a party despite last year’s strict police enforcement, which Madison Police Department announced Friday will further increase this year.
Alder: Stiffer policies will not end Mifflin By Melissa Howison THE DAILY CARDINAL
Madison police released a letter to Mifflin residents Thursday which includes a stipulation that police are canceling the Mifflin Street block party, after announcing policies it will implement for the May 4 event at a recent meeting. In the letter, Madison Police
Department Chief of Police Noble Wray said “there will be NO Mifflin Street Block Party in 2013 or beyond.” Despite the strong language used in the letter, Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said the growing concerns among students and community members that police officially shut down the block party for the first time
since its inception are somewhat misguided. He said the language used in the letter does not differ greatly from recent years, including 2012, when the Madison Police Department repeatedly referred to the historic block party as a “nonevent.” This year, following the

While certain students reacted with vigilantism and anger to the news Friday that Madison Police Department canceled Mifflin Street block party, many responded with confusion over what it actually means and how it will change this year’s block party experience. In a letter to Mifflin and Langdon street residents, police refused to acknowledge Mifflin and said the department will be enforcing a “no tolerance” policy for illegal house parties for the first time in the event’s 44-year history. “Hearing that was kind of shocking,” University of Wisconsin-Madison sophomore Brienne Schaefer said. “All of my roommates and I have been talking about it and now we’re just confused.” Fellow UW-Madison sophomore Greg Thomas said he was not surprised MPD canceled Mifflin given the police try to end the event every year. Thomas said he expects this year to be even “crazier,” but perhaps in a different way. “Everyone knows that it’s going to be canceled so more people are going to be having parties outside of Mifflin instead of on Mifflin,” Thomas said, adding, “People are definitely
going to still go [to Mifflin].” Among the uncertainty, administrators behind the Mifflin Street Block Party 2013 Facebook event page took a more extreme approach, attempting to rally students in a post stating, “We are at a crucial turning point in history and we, the students, have two choices.” To either “step aside” or, “step the f*** up and show the world how Madison has consistently earned our spot in the top five party schools while continuing to excel academically.” Despite efforts by administrators of the Facebook page, multiple Mifflin Street residents said the 2013 block party will likely be toned down compared to previous years, but said they intend to carry on the tradition while also abiding by MPD’s stricter policies. These policies include staying off the sidewalk when holding an open intoxicant and ensuring music and noise levels do not create a nuisance. UW-Madison senior and Mifflin Street resident Ryan D., who declined to give his full last name, said the police’s cancellation of the 2013 block party will not deter him from having a party. However, Ryan said he will take more precautions this year than he did

Professor Profile: Dave Cieslewicz, former Madison mayor By Sam Cusick THE DAILY CARDINAL
As former mayor and current University of WisconsinMadison associate professor Dave Cieslewicz knows, there is no better qualification for teaching a class on political leadership than real world experience in public office. Cieslewicz served as the Mayor of Madison from 2003 to 2011, before losing a close race to current mayor Paul Soglin. He has lectured at the university since 2006, teaching topics from graduate-level public management to an undergraduate course this semester called “Bikes, Pedestrians and Cities.” His knowledge as an edu-
cator is a testament to the allencompassing nature of running a city. “I don’t think that anybody knows any city as well as its mayor, because you have to get around and meet everybody in the neighborhoods,” Cieslewicz said. “It’s a very hands-on, tangible job. And you really know whether you’re accomplishing things or not.” It’s not just his experience as mayor that informs his work in the classroom. To Cieslewicz, teaching requires a biggerpicture perspective that would help as a politician, although he currently has no plans to seek public office. “Teaching forces you to step back and take a broader look at
politics, how it functions, how people are successful at it and how they go wrong,” Cieslewicz said. “I think if I did return to politics, and I think that’s unlikely, having taught would make me a better leader.” While Cieslewicz said he does not currently plan to teach at the university next fall, he said he may return to his position at UW-Madison in spring of 2014. “I’ve had a great time teaching and my students have been wonderful,” Cieslewicz said. “My students today are very serious about their studies and it’s really a joy to teach.” Answering questions from

know it still seems like winter, friends, but if you’ve continued going to class during the crappy snow and rain, you’ve doubtlessly seen the Sex Out Loud posters of a naked man adorning campus buildings. That man is James Deen, of adult film fame, and we’re bringing him to you. Deen is a widely recognized performer and has been featured on ABC’s “Nightline,” CNBC’s special “Porn: Business of Pleasure” and GQ Magazine. After making a sex tape with Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham, Deen has become about as mainstream as porn stars get. He asserted to CNN, “I am the new sex tape,” meaning he is the scandal paparazzi look for to bring B-listers into the limelight. Deen is known for popularizing porn that has been labeled “female-friendly.” Neither Deen nor I believe “female-friendly” to be an appropriate title for the increase in cuddling and making out that his “gentler” films depict. “Female-friendly” porn usually begins with dialogue between a man and a woman who are in some sort of relationship. They flirt and goof around and make out for what seems like hours. They undress slowly, take their time going down on each other, he gets her off a thousand and one times and then they make passionate love until the cows come home. While the films discussed above do show an increased amount of “friendliness” in that the people involved are generally comfortable with each other, labeling it “femalefriendly” labels all other adult films as “male-friendly” or “female-unfriendly.” Authentically female-friendly porn is not definable. In fact, no porn can target any one demographic because what gets people off is not always what we would expect. Some females only watch porn featuring two male-bodied people getting it on. Others dabble in all types of porn. Some women even like porn in which an actress has sex with many people at once, sometimes including consensual violence. Deen has shown disdain for the aforementioned name on many occasions. He says that sexuality is not definable by gender. While he says he’s glad women appreciate his porn, he knows they can like all types of films, not just ones labeled for their demographic. Deen will discuss the ways in which the absence of comprehensive sexual education in schools leads to an overwhelming use of porn for sexual education and the detriments thereof. James Deen will be on campus this Thursday, April 18 in 1310 Sterling Hall at 7 p.m. as part of Sex Out Loud’s Sexual Health Fest.

ASM Diversity Week to begin Monday The Associated Students of Madison will host a series of events this week for Diversity Week to promote awareness and discussion of diversity on campus. Diversity Week events will highlight a different aspect of diversity each day, including sexuality, disability, religion, gender and multicultural identities. ASM Diversity Committee Chair Mia Akers said she hopes the events will help students understand the complexity of diversity. “I want campus to understand that diversity is not just
superficial,” Akers said. “It is your culture. It is your identity. It is who you are.” Student organizations that work with each highlighted aspects of diversity will be involved in events throughout the week. Students can visit Diversity Week events including workshops, presentations and movie showings Monday through Thursday beginning at 4 p.m. in the Humanities Building. Friday events begin at 6 p.m. in the Education Building.

Friends and former roommates of Paul Heenan, who was killed in a struggle with a Madison police officer Nov. 9, sent a letter to city and county executive and started a Change. org petition requesting certain officials recant their authority and appoint an “impartial” jury to investigate the case. Amelia and Nathan Royko Maurer said in the letter they believe Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne’s “emotional ties” to the Madison Police
Department compromised his objective judgment inquiring into whether or not MPD officer Stephen Heimsness is criminally liable for Heenan’s death. Ozanne has publicly acknowledged lifelong friendships with MPD officers. Paul Heenan accidentally walked into his neighbors house while intoxicated Nov. 9, and Heimsness’ response to the neighbor’s call about a burglar in their house led to the fatal shooting of Heenan, who was unarmed.
Ozanne stated in December Heimsness would not face criminal charges for his actions Nov. 9 and an MPD investigation into the case returned the verdict that Heimsness did not violate the department’s use of deadly force policies. “Critical questions about Paul Heenan’s death remain unanswered and appear to have been conveniently avoided by the investigation process,” the Maurer’s said in the letter to county and city officials.

rumors spreading through the student body, the stipulation in the letter canceling Mifflin “doesn’t mean marshall law was declared and residents can’t enjoy their property.” Under ALDO, fines and citations will be given to persons hosting a party that police deem a “nuisance,” drinking underage, procuring alcohol for someone younger than 21, and drinking on private property without permission. Wray denounced the block party in the letter to the city and said MPD “is strongly recommending” Mifflin residents reconsider hosting house parties May 4. “The toll of the spring student party far outweighs any benefit to our community,” Wray said. “The nuisance house parties on Mifflin Street, with the rampant over-consumption of alcohol and the attendant safety issues will no longer be tolerated by the City of Madison.” The City of Madison also
endorsed the Revelry Arts and Music Festival as the “only sanctioned event” May 4. Madison Police officer Matthew Magolan said in an email the police department echoes the city’s consideration of Revelry as an alternative to Mifflin. “The sooner these illegal house parties are brought under control and the UW Revelry Music and Arts Festival replaces the spring student party with a safe alternative, the safer we can make our community as a whole,” Magolan said in an email statement. Verveer said although MPD is using stronger language and enforcing a slightly more stiff policing this year, the department’s attitude toward Mifflin has remained consistently unsupportive over the past few years. Despite this, students have continued to host and attend the block party. “The reality is it’s a tradition going back to 1969; it’s not going to end over night,” he said.
precedent the city set by refusing to block off Mifflin Street to traffic last year, the city will again allow regular traffic and street parking May 4. Verveer said the biggest difference in this year’s policies is the discontinuation of the “party contracts” police established with residents last year. According to Verveer, party contracts were designed as an “amnesty program” in which police officers agreed to “look the other way” if residents cooperated with MPD in ejecting trespassers from their properties. This year, in an attempt to reject acknowledging the block party in any way, police will enforce a “no-tolerance” policy for illegal house parties. However, Verveer said police do not intend to break up house parties on May 4 if the party abides by the city’s Alcohol License Density Ordinance. He said despite

Fela Kuti and beyond: a primer on afrobeat By Brian Weidy The Daily Cardinal
What is afrobeat? Afrobeat is a style of music that comes from adding traditional instruments and styles with popular contemporary music. Though it’s not quite jazz and not quite funk, afrobeat includes strong elements of both along with a heavy dose of the shekere and other African instruments. But the best part of the genre isn’t just the crossroads of cultures, but rather the way it makes you feel. At its core, afrobeat music just makes you want to dance. My first experience came when I decided to check out the opening band for Medeski, Martin and Wood a couple of years ago. Their name was Antibalas, and I knew their drummer, no older than 20 or 21 at the time, had gone to my middle school. I braved the biggest snowstorm New York City had seen in years—child’s play compared to Wisconsin, but there was still a lot of snow—and squeezed my way up to the rail. What came next was something of an epiphany: 45 minutes of perfect grooves, and almost a dozen people on stage having the time of their lives. After the show was over, I got a chance to talk to the drummer, Miles Arntzen, who told me to listen to Fela Kuti, the man who pioneered this whole sound. While I started slowly, I found myself listening to more and more afrobeat. Doing homework, I would subconsciously find myself tapping my foot or banging on my desk in time with the perfectly placed downbeats. While Kuti “created” afrobeat in the late 1960s and its popularity continued in the 1970s, it wasn’t until the past two decades that afrobeat has really taken off. Antibalas was formed in 1998 and has been instrumental in the resurgence of the genre. From Antibalas came Superhuman Happiness, saxophonist Stuart Bogie’s combination of afrobeat and just about every other genre known to man, which features other members of Antibalas as well. Another reason the genre has taken off is the popularity of the play “Fela!” Originally an off-broadway production, the play has become increasingly popular, with long stints on Broadway and a world tour to boot. The play told the story of Kuti and exposed an entirely new group of people to his music. It serves as a great introduction to afrobeat music. Dancing isnt the only goal of afrobeat music. Kuti told powerful stories in his songs, many of which pertained to the Nigerian government and the injustices suffered by the Nigerian people at its hand. Afrobeat bands today continue the trend of politically charged lyrics—one of my favorite Antibalas songs is called “Indictment.” “Indictment” is a song about everyone’s favorite topic to talk about at a concert: the banking system (or at least that’s what trumpeter Todd Simon said at the show). In this song,
described by a critic as “a fantastic Bush-era protest song,” Bogie calls out political figure after political figure. Kuti himself called out the Nigerian government in an album entitled “Zombie,” which was likely the reason why his compound was raided and he and his family were tortured and his mother killed.
While not ubiquitous at this point, afrobeat music is now spreading past Williamsburg and across the country. Arntzen’s own band, EMEFE, has taken a dozen students and turned them into professional musicians. Two weeks ago, I got a chance to see them for the first time in six months and by the end of the first song, every-
one in the venue was on their feet and dancing. Other bands such as Zongo Junction, the Chicago Afrobeat Project and many more have been touring the country as ten-piece outfits, ready to tear audiences a new one. So the next time you are about to turn on “Levels” for the 4,000th time, try listening to
afrobeat instead. Though it may not have the light shows or the crazy atmosphere that comes with EDM, you’ll find yourself dancing just as hard while listening to and supporting some of the best musicians out there. Any questions about afrobeat or band recommendations? Send Brian an email at weidy@wisc.edu.
opinion MPD Mifflin statement a poor deterrent 6

Monday, April 15, 2013
Andy Holsteen guest columnist
T
he Madison Police Department released a statement last week that, in short, said the Mifflin Street Block Party is no longer a city sanctioned event, which only proves the MPD lacks confidence in Revelry as an alternative to the block party. Their statement is an insult to the people who have worked so hard on planning Revelry as well as the artists performing there. I think having an end-of-theyear concert is a really cool idea. And to be quite frank, whoever is doing Revelry’s social media and publicity work is brilliant—they’ve handled this MPD situation and all the general criticisms from the student body with grace and eloquence. Perhaps it wasn’t the best idea to have the event on the same day as Mifflin (although that was likely the only option put forward by UW-Madison administration), but I was personally looking forward to attending both Mifflin and Revelry on May 4. Now it appears Mifflin will be a disaster zone on that day, especially now that the street won’t be closed off. I’m hesitant to linger in that area for too long—not because of the recent intimidation from the MPD, but because I don’t want to actually endanger myself. Obviously, from the perspective of the MPD and UW administration, effectively eliminating Mifflin would simplify their lives. I get it. However, doing it in this way is not conducive to student safety or reducing costs—two of the main arguments for the ongoing debate over the status of the block party. Alcohol will always play a role in this day, whether it’s on Mifflin, Regent, Randall, Langdon, Spring, Breese, Dayton, State or Lathrop streets. And hey, a lot of these people are going to binge drink. Also, this statement from the MPD will not keep people from outside the city from coming into Madison on May 4. Short of micromanaging every single person in the entire city and disallowing tourism, you aren’t going to stop either of these things. Am I being overly critical? No, because this decision will not only be ineffective, but is actually a more dangerous proposal. The only way it could be effective is if the MPD employ a massive police force to patrol the entire city May 4, since there will be no center of activity for the drunkenness this year. And even if this were economically feasible, it’s not something that any of us should want for this city. In 2011, two people were stabbed at the Mifflin event. This is absolutely not acceptable. However, I think it’s important to reflect on what made the 2011 block party different from those before it. Two years ago, the city
decided for the first time to allow open intoxicants in the street for anyone with a wristband and gave the go-ahead for live music to be brought in to perform at the event.
This statement from the MPD will not keep people from outside the city from coming into Madison on May 4.
So let us rehash here: It was the city that decided to allow people to drink in the street two years ago and host a slew of musical acts at the block party. And that year, it just so happened that things got out of control. A mere shred of common sense could have detected what made that an awful plan, as it only allowed for
out-of-towners (who, with this stipulation, didn’t even need to know anyone in Madison), to run rampant in our streets. With such an illogical policy in place, it’s a miracle nobody died that year due to the city’s incalculable lack of foresight. Yet, what we never got was an acknowledgement from the city that their implemented policy may have been the cause of the issues at the 2011 Mifflin. Instead, after the block party was changed so it became an event that was designed to fail, it was deemed the partiers’ fault things went south. It’s apparently your fault the city imposed an idiotic policy that encouraged unwanted people to come in and wreak havoc. The city seems quite content with taking the effects of poor management in regard to the Mifflin Street Block Party and making it the cause for its discontinuation. And you will be blamed again
dailycardinal.com
this year when the epicenter of debauchery that has been Mifflin Street in past years is expanded across the entire campus area, creating a scenario that most definitely has the potential to result in tragedy. Now the city apparently believes Revelry is the answer to the dissolution of Mifflin. Because a concert isn’t a place where people get drunk, right? Well no, that’s absolutely incorrect. But in addition to excessive drinking, concerts are breeding grounds for the consumption and selling of a plethora of other completely illegal substances. Will this happen at Revelry—who’s to say? But I think it’s beyond naïve to assume that just because the creators of the festival have good intentions means that everyone who attends it will as well. What truly shocks me is that those in charge of this decision didn’t give Revelry and Mifflin
a chance to exist side-by-side as city sanctioned events for even one year. The crowds interested in attending each respective event don’t necessarily overlap— Revelry boasts fantastic musical acts, but they aren’t the megaheadlining performers that many UW students expected from the event. Due to this, it’s unreasonable for students to attend an event in which they have no interest. Moreover, no matter how you put it, Mifflin is a tradition and Revelry is not. And although there were some aspects to the Mifflin tradition that certainly needed to be addressed, canceling it was not the answer. If the Fourth will be with us, or against—see we shall. What do you think of the city’s attempts to shut down Mifflin? Please send all feedback to opinion@dailycardinal.com, and visit dailycardinal.com for more coverage .

Wisconsin, which won 25 of its first 29 games, is 4-4 in its last eight games. Barring another cancellation from poor weather conditions, UW will make its home debut Tuesday against Green Bay.

UW would not relinquish its lead as junior pitcher Cassandra Darrah recorded the last six outs, logging her 17th win of the season. After a promising turnaround Saturday from Friday’s loss, the Badgers looked to take the series with a win Sunday. Big innings seemed to characterize the weekend as Nebraska again used one inning’s worth of offense to separate itself from the Badgers. Nebraska plated eight runs on six hits in the third inning, breaking a 2-2 stalemate to grab a comfortable 10-2 lead. The Cornhuskers added another run in the fourth inning and held the Badgers in the top of the fifth inning to grab the rubber match of the series via the NCAA’s eight-run mercy rule after five innings. Despite a disappointing finish to the weekend, Wisconsin captured its third win in six chances against ranked opponents. The Badgers hope to finally take the field at Goodman Diamond as they welcome Green Bay to Madison for a doubleheader starting at 3 p.m. Tuesday.
Bayern Munich, Dortmund should meet for Champions League final matt kleist too kleist for comfort
I
have written a fair amount this year about Bayern Munich’s rise to the top of the soccer world, and along with it the German Bundesliga’s ascension as king of European football. Now, as the semifinal matchups of the Union of European Football Associations Champions League have been set, the Germans are on the cusp of solidifying their seat on soccer’s throne. The semi-finals draw took place over the weekend and with it the matchups were announced.
After narrowly surviving the two-leg quarterfinal with French side Paris Saint-Germain, a team soccer fans will want to keep an eye on in the future, La Liga frontrunners Barcelona await a matchup with Bundesliga champs Bayern Munich. The other side of the bracket features another Spanish-German bout, with Real Madrid squaring off against Borussia Dortmund, both of whom have spent the domestic season looking up at first-place Barcelona and Munich, respectively. I would first like to point out, much to my joy, the English Premier League is nowhere to be found in this year’s semis. It is no secret I dislike the EPL and the attention it is given because of the preconceived notion it is the best football league
in the world. I have argued before this is simply not true, and I believe this year’s semifinals exemplify just that. It is not outside of the realm of possibility—I would even say it is completely probable—the Champions League final will feature two German sides. PSG proved Barcelona, and the world’s best individual soccer player, Lionel Messi, are not infallible. And when this team meets Bayern in the first leg of the semis, it will quickly discover it needs to be perfect, otherwise the walls will collapse in on it. Both of these teams can score goals in large quantities, but Bayern holds the advantage when it comes to defense and goalkeeping with arguably the best goalkeeper in the world in Manuel Neuer.
I believe, however, this game will come down to possession of the ball and pace of play. Whichever side can manage to take control of the game will put itself into position to reach the final. Dortmund, despite trailing Bayern in the Bundesliga by 20 points, has been one of only four teams to pressure the domestic league champs this season, handing Bayern one of its three draws—Bayern has only lost one domestic game this season and only three in all play. This is a team that can never be counted out. One must remember, BVB claimed the Bundesliga title last season. It would hold to reason a majority of soccer fans would like to see a final between teams from different domestic leagues, but I am not the
majority of soccer fans. No, I would much rather see these two domestic foes, Bayern and Dortmund, face each other on the world’s biggest stage for the European crown. I understand as much as the next person you can never sleep on Barcelona or Real Madrid, and both these teams are very strong. But my gut feeling, and hope, is that we will see an all-German Champions League final. And when—if—we do, the Bundesliga will take its rightful spot at the top of the soccer world. And it wouldn’t hurt if Bayern Munich came out wearing the crown. Who do you think will square off in the Champions League final? Does Bayern have enough to get past Messi and Barcelona?
