State, UW leaders respond to surplus By Mara Jezior The daily cardinal

The release of a state audit that revealed the University of Wisconsin System held a balance of over $1 billion at the end of June 2012 has prompted discussion among state legislators, system administrators and campus leaders over the role of tuition dollars and cash reserves. According to an April 18 memo UW System administrators sent to the state’s Legislative Fiscal Bureau, the recommendation for a reserve fund is 25 percent of the sys-

The Student Services Finance Committee voted Monday to adopt changes to its standing rules with an amendment that will limit the amount of money student organizations can request in funding. The new rules will limit General Student Service Fund groups’ request to $100,000. This total does not include the maximum $75,000 organizations can request for professional staff and some graduate student positions. Prior to the meeting there were no caps in place to limit GSSF funding. Among other restrictions, the new rules also place limits on how much organizations can spend on travel, events and student hourly positions. Wisconsin Public Interest Research Board Chair Emily Ten

Eyck spoke in open forum, asking SSFC to increase the $75,000 maximum for professional staff and project assistantships. Ten Eyck said the organization’s professional staff are “at the core of the work that we do.” Greater University Tutoring Service Director Robin Matthies also spoke and requested the $60,000 maximum for student hourly positions be raised to $80,000. Matthies said the organization currently spends $90,000 to pay student employees. SSFC members ultimately voted to increase the maximum amount for student hourly positions to $70,000. SSFC Chair Ellie Bruecker said she was “incredibly happy” with the adjustments to the poli-

Revelry Arts and Music Festival tickets to remain $5 for UW-Madison students Revelry Arts and Music Festival organizers announced Monday tickets for the event will remain $5 for University of Wisconsin-Madison students, after organizers originally stated ticket prices could increase. Revelry, to take place May 4, will feature artists including Hoodie Allen, Toro Y Moi and Delta Spirit.

Additionally, tickets became available Monday for Madison College students, UW System students, and UW-Madison faculty and staff for $25. Revelry organizers will also sell tickets May 4 at Union South for $10. Tickets are currently available at the Vilas Box office or online with an additional $3.50 fee.

with disappointment and frustration toward the system’s repeated tuition increases over the past six years despite its excess funds. Sara Goldrick-Rab, associate professor of educational policy studies and sociology at UW-Madison, said in an email although it is not uncommon for large university systems to keep “rainy-day funds” to maintain long-term financial security, it is an issue with the UW System’s surplus that

tem’s gross spending. Despite what appears to be a large surplus, the UW System’s total reserve ratio is approximately 17 percent, based on the UW System’s reported $6 billion operating budget. Also according to the memo, over $420 million of the UW System’s $1 billion surplus came from UW-Madison’s cash reserve, and of that total $100 million came directly from UW-Madison students’ tuition. After the announcement of the surplus April 19, student and faculty leaders reacted

City officials approved plans Monday to convert a downtown Catholic school into a studentoriented apartment complex Monday and permitted Essen Haus to build an outdoor volleyball court. The proposal to convert Holy Redeemer Catholic School, located at 120 W. Johnson St., into an apartment complex, called Lumin House, triggered opposition from parishioners of the disconnected, adjacent Holy Redeemer Church. Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said parishioners and community members attended neighborhood and city meetings throughout the approval process to express their disapproval of the proposal, which he said “in many respects, has torn apart the members of the Redeemer Parish that worship at Holy Redeemer Church.” Holy Redeemer members’ expressed concerns about overcrowding in the area and losing the school with which they have close family and personal ties, as well as worry Lumin House would not share the same tax exemption as Pres House. During Pres House’s development, the state passed a law excusing the owners from paying property taxes because they offer faith-based housing exclusively to University of Wisconsin-Madison students. Lumin House will offer Catholic housing to students, and meeting attendees argued it deserves the same legal status

as Pres House. Attorney Fred Mohs said the law was never meant to become a standard for new developments. “Pres House was not supposed to be a precedent; it was supposed to stand alone and be the only facility that would have this exemption,” he said. “But how naive to believe that real estate developers would not seek the holy grail in real estate ownership.” Still, Verveer said Lumin House meets the law’s standards and will therefore be granted immunity from paying property taxes.

However, Holy Redeemer acknowledged Lumin House residents will enjoy city services, such as public safety protections, and agreed to pay $15,000 annually to the city in recognition of those services. He also said due to non-discrimination laws, Holy Redeemer will not be able to limit Lumin House apartments to Catholic students. The Plan Commission passed the proposal, which will now go before the City Council April 30 for final approval.

Lost in translation in Seville: tales of fish ovaries and endless wine jenna bushnell jennarally speaking

y first day of studying abroad in Spain was the wake-up call I needed about the importance of learning another language. But before I get all “The More You Know” on ya, lemme give you some background. You see, although I started in Spanish 101 first semester of my freshman year at the University of WisconsinMadison, I had actually taken four years of Spanish in high school. However, I had absorbed so little Spanish in high school my senior-year Spanish teacher actually congratulated me on having looked at the notes written on my hand only twice during a test. As I matured and developed more worldly interests, I decided to give Spanish another go in college. That’s when I realized if you do most of your work and actually pay attention, you may learn things in the process! What a revelation! When I first sat down and started researching studyabroad programs, I knew I wanted to go somewhere Spanish speaking. Sure, I wasn’t fluent in Spanish but hey man (or should I say “hombre” because, if you didn’t know, that’s Spanish for man), I had been speaking it— well, listening to my professor speak it—for 50 minutes every other day since freshman year (not including weekends, breaks or the times in class I decided to

graphic by angel lee

speak in English). With five college semesters under my belt, I thought it was high time I put the skills I learned while describing my weekend at Madhatters to my partner in Spanglish to use. Why not do it in Seville, Spain? OK, OK. I put a little more thought into it than that. I wanted to experience a culture different from my own, have the opportunity to cultivate relationships with people from varying backgrounds, gain another perspective of global politics and take really awesome pictures in front of cool, old buildings. Practicing my Spanish was going to be the generous dollop of mayonnaise on top of my serving of huevas (more on that later). Still, there aren’t enough

class conversations you can have, discussing your hopes and aspirations using the future subjunctive, which can prepare you for living and breathing in a language that is different from your native tongue. Unless, of course, you’re already fluent in another language(s), in which case, I hate you. Now back to my first day in Spain. After traveling for roughly 24 hours, nearly missing two separate transfers and taking a little too much advantage of the *UNLIMITED FREE WINE* on the international flight, I arrived in Sevilla. I was drowsy, disoriented and maybe still tipsy at 10 a.m. when our program leaders met us at baggage claim. All I can really remember from those first few moments was realizing I had

signed up to spend five months speaking a language I didn’t know. Fast-forward to now: I’m still speaking a language I don’t really know, and I’m usually doing it wine tipsy but with a whole new level of fear/shamelessness. I can attribute my improvement to my lovely host parents and siblings who always patiently correct me, even when I accidentally referred to my sister as having the qualities of genitalia (“polla” does NOT mean female chicken). I’ve found that learning a new language has its highs and lows. Highs include fostering strong connections with people you otherwise couldn’t have and eavesdropping on conversations on the train about someone’s most recent trip to the gynecologist. Lows include repeatedly being humbled by having increased difficulties articulating your thoughts and being strapped for a response when your 12-year-old host brother asks, “Sabes que es boobies?” (Do you know what boobies are?). And so here’s my pitch: Go learn another language. It won’t be easy, and you’ll probably embarrass yourself a lot, but the more you practice the greater sense of accomplishment you’ll feel. And if warm fuzzies aren’t your thing, you’ll also probably get pretty good at laughing at your mistakes. Oh and about huevas— they’re expelled fish ovaries. And I’ve eaten them. And they’re gross. Are you looking to brush up on your Spanish? Maybe Jenna can help you learn translations for genitalia! Email her for help at jbushnell@wisc.edu.

More ‘smart’ phones makes for ‘dumb’ world zac pestine zac, crackle, pop

on’t you hate when you see that one kid staring at his phone as he aimlessly wanders around a sidewalk, bumping into trash cans, walls and people? Like, seriously, can’t that person leave his phone alone for five minutes so he can walk in a straight line like every other decent pedestrian out there? Well, if you’ve seen this person or people like him walking in a crooked path, nearly bumping their head on a brick wall or tripping over a dog, chances are that this person is me. I have had my iPhone for nearly a year now, and I still bow to its power whenever it is in my possession, which is every second of the day (apart from when I’m in the shower). Even still, when I am in the shower, I sometimes feel my thigh, thinking I have a phone in my pocket. OK, I haven’t actually

done that last one... yet. To be honest, since I have started writing this piece, I have already checked my phone 11 times, and this is only the third paragraph. My point is I, and many of my peers, have become so dependent on our phones and so overcome by the command phones have over us, that we are simultaneously losing even basic human functions, like walking in straight lines and having attention spans that last more than six seconds. Although the pandemonium and controversy surrounding smart phones is certainly not a novel issue, I would like to offer a proposal of what the world may look like in 50 years once every man, woman and child in the free world is in possession of one of these devices (by this time, ‘phone’ may even be an obsolete term, as I already only use this machine for its phone capabilities one in every 31.7 times it leaves my pocket). Most people with some foresight understand it’s unlikely that newspapers will still be in print roughly 50 years from now. My guess is there won’t be any

news articles whatsoever. In their place, we will only get Twitter updates from celebrities. Unless a message can be communicated in 140 characters or less, people will deem it too brainy and mentally demanding to read it. Also, it will become commonplace to wear helmets and knee pads when people make the rare trip outside of their own homes. These forms of protection will protect against the otherwise inevitable physical traumas of walking into walls and tripping over inanimate objects. Of course, these helmets will also be replete with bluetooth and Siri, so that even if you need to pull out your phone to get the latest scoop on your Twitter feed, you could avoid some bumps and bruises by speaking to the microphone above your head. This action will also be commonplace. People won’t think you’re weird if it looks like you’re talking to yourself; they will think you’re weird if you aren’t because it means you either have no one to talk to, or you’re inept at using Siri.

Two roads diverge here. One is the dour window into 2063 that I have outlined, which by the way, is not hyperbolic in the least. The other is the one in which we wait to read news articles until after we are sitting in an upright position in a place conducive to reading them, instead of the walk to class or from the SERF. Better yet, we will read the actual, physical newspaper to get our information, maybe with a companion next to us whose thoughts we can pique afterward, as real people once did. I am most certainly a culprit in perpetuating the impending rise of the Twitter-dependent, helmet-wearing world in which we may one day live. But I think if we become more cognizant of how ridiculous we look when we nearly bump into walls, as I most often am not, then the latter road can be more traveled, and that will make all the difference to the length of our attention spans. How many trash cans have you walked into today? Share it with Zac at pestine@wisc.edu.

New bill aims to protect child sexual assault victims Two state representatives announced a bill Monday that would ban alleged perpetrators of child sexual assault released on bail from living near the victim. Under the bill, co-authored by state Rep. Cory Mason, D-Racine, and state Rep. Thomas Weatherston, R-Caledonia, people accused of child sexual assault could not return to a location either next door to or within 250 feet of the victim’s residence if released on bail. According to Mason the bill is called “Isabella’s Law,” after an 8-year-old girl in Racine was allegedly sexually assaulted by her neighbor in February. After a judge released the alleged perpetrator on bail, he returned to his residence next door to Isabella’s house. “You can imagine how much anxiety it was causing the family to have the perpetrator of

this horrible crime back next door, looking out his window at the back yard where Isabella plays,” Mason said. Weatherston said although Isabella’s alleged assaulter confessed to the crime, the judge and district attorney in the case currently have no power to restrict where a suspect placed on bail can live. “This bill [would give] that power back to those authorities so they can put in place restrictions and it be a condition of [perpetrators’] bail,” he said. Mason said sexual assault laws do not give enough thought to the victim in each step of the process. “This bill isn’t going to change what happened to Isabella, but it can stop any future Isabellas from being victimized this way,” he said. —Meghan Chua

City seeks Library Mall redesign input City officials will hold a public meeting at Memorial Union Tuesday to discuss design plans for the reconstruction of the 700 and 800 blocks of State Street, which includes Library Mall. The meeting will take place at 7 p.m. in the fourth floor Reception room. City officials will provide attendees with information about the history and current state of the area as well as discuss tentative plans for Library Mall’s new design, after which the public will be able to comment and give

input about the plans. According to a meeting announcement, “the focus of the design is to create a special place at the intersection of … State Street and East Campus Mall.” The State Street Design Project Oversight Committee will review community members’ comments and concerns at a meeting Thursday. However, the city will not make a final decision on the design until January 2014, with construction scheduled to begin in spring 2014.

although he favored limits on individual categories, such as travel expenses, he trusts future SSFC members to make responsible decisions without a cap. “What you’re doing ... is putting faith in a number,” Malmstadt said. “I like to put faith in the group of individuals that sit at this table.” However, the funding cap passed at $100,000. SSFC members also moved to postpone a vote on SSFC wage policy until Thursday, which proposes changes meant to increase accountability, including a requirement that GSSF employees submit short reports on the work they are paid for.

cy and believes they will prevent wasted funds. “I think it’s going to encourage better budgeting,” Bruecker said. “It’s going to draw the focus of segregated fees to direct services rather than to events or to traveling.” Members also proposed amendments to increase the maximum amount of money GSSFs could spend on travel and events but none were approved. Some members also proposed raising the $100,000 overall spending cap, while others called to eliminate it. SSFC Rep. Ian Malmstadt said

Senior Class President-elect Joseph Meeker says in a Student Judiciary hearing Monday he does not feel his errors warrant his disqualification from holding the position next year.

Student Judiciary hears case on alleged election violations Members of the Associated Students of Madison Student Judiciary heard an elections violation case against Senior Class President-elect Joseph Meeker Monday that challenged his election on the grounds campaign flyers were posted in areas not permitted under election rules. The case was brought forward by University of WisconsinMadison junior Ryan Hughes, who stated Meeker hung posters on columns in the Humanities Building, as well as on a city light pole on Langdon Street, both of which violate ASM elections policy.

SSFC Rep. Ian Malmstadt says in a meeting Monday he does not support a strict cap on overall student group funding.

umns or city light poles were not specifically included in the official candidate rules packet. He also pointed out this was his first campaign for a position under ASM elections policy. Meeker said he did not believe the approximately seven posters that violated the rules could have swung the election, adding he felt removal from his position would be an unfair sanction, especially when the violations already involve paying fines. SJ will make a decision on the case within 10 school days. —Cheyenne Langkamp

Monona Bay shore could see new boat rental facility, cafe A local entrepreneur hoping to bring a rental facility for outdoor recreational equipment and a gourmet cafe to Lake Monona’s shore in Brittingham Park received preliminary city approval Monday. Wingra Boats owner Tyler Leeper said he wants to convert a run-down, city-owned Monona Bay beach house into a new rental facility for Brittingham Boats to provide

residents access to canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, paddle boats and possibly pontoon boats. Leeper also plans to open a cafe on the property to feature acoustic musical acts while serving coffee and gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches. He also expressed interest in a future expansion of the business to include equipment rentals for winter recreational activities, and Leeper said Brittingham Boats

will ideally host educational programs, such as paddle board lessons and lakeside yoga, in addition to renting out sporting gear. The Board of Estimates unanimously approved the plan, which will be reviewed by community members at a neighborhood meeting April 27 before going to the Plan Commission and the Common Council. Leeper hopes to open Memorial Day weekend.

special circumstances, such as covering unanticipated expenses, which could include enrollment shortages and excesses as well as providing a safety net for research projects if funding needs were not met. Beth Huang, vice president of United Council of UW Students, a statewide student lobbying organization, emphasized the university should use excess funds to increase class options, decrease tuition or increase pay for university employees. “Faculty and staff have been talking about how they haven’t gotten a pay raise for around six years,” Huang said. “To retain faculty and staff members, it’s important they receive some kind of incentive to stay here.”

In addition to a call for a twoyear tuition freeze Friday by Gov. Scott Walker and a number of state legislators, other lawmakers also recommended a closer look at Walker’s proposed budget for the UW System, which includes $180 million in new investments. In a statement Monday, state Sen. Rick Gudex, R- Fond du Lac, said the budget should be revisited. “The added flexibility may not be the correct direction for the UW System” Gudex said. “More audits and tighter oversight will need to be part of the upcoming discussion.” The Joint Finance Committee is set to take up the state biennial budget within the week.

tuition dollars fund it instead of state appropriations. Goldrick-Rab said UW System officials should have been more transparent in communicating to Wisconsin families the state’s refusal to support the system’s rainy day fund, which instead has depended on tuition dollars. “By avoiding this ... System leaders missed a critical opportunity to engage the Legislature and public in a discussion about the public/private balance of funding for higher education,” Goldrick-Rab said in the email. In the memo, UW System administrators emphasized the System needs a reserve fund for

According to Hughes, both locations are in “heavily trafficked areas” on campus. Hughes said by hanging campaign posters where other candidates’ posters did not appear, Meeker was given an advantage. Because the election was decided by 64 votes, Hughes said the violations are grounds for disqualifying Meeker. Meeker responded did not deny the placement of the posters, saying he used a “wide reading” of the elections policy and committed a “reasonable mistake.” Additionally, Meeker said rules about posting on col-

ON AN ON to bring catchy tunes to RSR stage By Andy Holsteen The Daily Cardinal

The Daily Cardinal recently spoke with Nate Eiesland—lead singer of the band ON AN ON. Natives of the Midwest, ON AN ON will stop in Madison Thursday, April 25, at the Regent Street Retreat Stage. After releasing Give In earlier this year, ON AN ON has seen some substantial success. They had one of their songs, “Ghosts,” featured on the popular TV show “Grey’s Anatomy” and are in the process of headlining a national tour. Eiesland feels the band has taken this spurt of popularity in stride, as they are really enjoying their new challenges and opportunities. “Well we’ve pretty much been on tour, pretty solid, since January, so not that much has changed. Right now we’re on a headlining tour, which is a little earlier than we would have thought to be out on a headlining tour,” Eiesland said. “But it’s been a really, really fun thing because, you know, we were just expecting to open for people for like a year. But to have one of these this early is fun to do … It’s a blast, I couldn’t ask for more.” Even though Eiseland is confident in the music ON AN ON is making right now, he said it has still been kind of surreal how quickly things have picked up for them. “When we put ‘Ghosts’ up in

the fall it was such great reception—I would say we were surprised then,” Eiseland said. “We really thought that in the fall that it was going to be a lot slower of a burn. But it’s just amazing to be able to go around the country and even the world… and being able to meet people who are into what you’re into, the things that you think sound cool, they think sound cool too.”

“This is one of the more ‘proper’ gigs we’ve had in Madison and we’re really looking forward to it.”

an indie-rock scene currently obsessed with replicating a few very specific sounds. “Going into it we sort of agreed that it’s not our style to say, you know, ‘we love this band and this song and this band, let’s try to make a band that sounds like all those things put together.’ There’s a way to do it, but that’s just not very interesting to us to do things that way. We’re comfortable with having influences, of course, everything influences us … I think it’s just more of an inspiration where you can hold on to it and it feels more comfortable—if you just let it be inspiring. And I think that

space where something connects to you when you listen to something and it’s that sort of magic— that is something that you can bounce off of and make something of your own,” Eiseland said. This rejection of following a specific formula or style in songwriting is reflected in ON AN ON’s sound. And by creating something that they can call their own, ON AN ON creates a sound that lets people find their own interpretations and meanings. “I want it to have some sort of humanity, basically. It’s frail and it’s flawed and it is what it is, but if you get to know it you can have a relationship with the art in a way,”

Eiesland said. “And those are the records that have meant the most to me and that’s the kind of art and music that I want to make and we want to make.” Eiseland is excited to make another stop in Madison with ON AN ON, especially now that Give In has generated so much attention. He feels their upcoming show will be exciting for Madison dwellers. “This is one of the more ‘proper’ gigs we’ve had in Madison and we’re really looking forward to it,” Eiseland said. ON AN ON will perform at RSR Stage April 25. The doors open at 8:30 p.m.

Nate Eiseland lead vocals ON AN ON

One of the biggest reasons ON AN ON has so much going for them right now is because their songs have a catchiness to them that is, to put it simply, hard to pin down. There’s nothing too complex going on in any of their songs, but that’s what allows them to exist in their own form. It’s also what makes ON AN ON’s music so striking: It’s the downto-earth, relatable feel—ripe with unfettered emotion—that draws you in, but once you’re hooked, the songs don’t lose that hold. They somehow manage to avoid the sameness that plagues

opinion Letter: Budget Repair Bill still rattling state dailycardinal.com

Taylor Nye WUD PubCom coordinator

Across Wisconsin, many of us felt the spirit of radicalism in the air during 2011. Gov. Scott Walker’s Budget Repair Bill spurned an outburst of political protests from educators, students and legislators, throwing Madison into the national spotlight. Although we are two years from the protests, the topic is as relevant as ever. In many ways, the implication of the 2011 law is still resounding. Recent news angered GOP lawmakers, including Walker, when they learned the University of Wisconsin System had a $650 million surplus. They have called for a tuition freeze, and for the regents to pony up for future students, angered that the university system continued to raise tuition

even knowing there would be an overage. And rightly so. Tuition caps have been a long time coming, and the average UW student, who graduates approximately $27,000 in debt, are those who need it most. However, the Walker administration fails to take into account its role—slashing collective bargaining rights for teachers and school funding two years ago. UW System President Kevin Reilly, although nickel-and-diming students, is guarding UW’s own interest in trying to amass a nest egg for those volatile financial times that lie ahead because of Walker’s actions. Tuesday, April 23 from 7-9 pm in Memorial Union’s Great Hall, The Wisconsin Union Directorate is hosting a lecture by Jason Stein and Patrick Marley, authors of “More Than They Bargained For,”

about the Budget Repair Bill and the protests it inspired. The authors will address political writing in the changing media climate. Although the protestors of 2011 have long been ushered away from the capitol and the last “We <3 UW” red balloon has been popped, the controversial decisions made then continue to affect UW students today and in the future. Learn more about how Walker’s Budget Repair Bill has changed the educational, political and journalistic climate of our state from two of the most knowledgeable people on the subject, journalists Stein and Marley, by attending the free lecture tonight. If you have a question about tonight’s event, please contact WUDPublicationsCommittee@ gmail.com. Please send all feedback to opinion@dailycardinal.com.

Immigration reform crucial for America Michael Brost opinion columnist

“G

ive me your wealthy, your well-educated and your well-connected,” reads the inscription at the bottom of the Statue of Liberty. Okay—I made that up. But one could be forgiven thinking that, given the country’s current political discourse on immigration reform. The real inscription on Lady Liberty reads, in part, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.” That creed—part of Emma Lazarus’s poem “The New Colossus”—greeted more than 12 million immigrants who passed through Ellis Island on

their way to a new life in America. Last week, a bipartisan group of Senators proposed comprehensive immigration reform, which is now winding its way through Congress. The bill secures America’s borders, establishes a system to track visa holders to make sure they don’t overstay their visa and, more importantly, the bill provides a path to citizenship, over the course of 13 years, to the 11 million immigrants who entered the country illegally. Five months ago, the Republican Party’s official position on immigration was a policy of self-deportation. This policy—an idea of former Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass.—recommended legislation to make it so hard for undocumented immigrants to live in the United States they would leave the U.S. to return to their native country. Oh how time—and elections—can change things! If there was a mandate from the presidential election last year, it was this: arithmetic matters. Seventy-one percent of Latino Americans voted for President Barack Obama in 2012, according to the Pew Research Hispanic Center. Hispanics are the fastest growing demographic group in America and Republicans are aware now more than ever that immigration reform is necessary and imminent. The bill currently before Congress has as much bipartisan support as any legislation can have in this dysfunctional era, and for good reason. Since the 2012 presidential election, pundits on both sides of the aisle have talked about immigration reform as a “nobrainer” or “the easy problem,” because the incentives for both sides to work together are so high. Political analysts correctly talk about the economic benefits—not to mention the electoral ones—of immigration reform. For instance, David Brooks of The New York Times wrote, “every additional 100 foreign-born workers in science and technology fields is associated with 262 additional jobs for U.S. natives.” Immigrants or their children have started more than 40 percent of all Fortune 500 companies. All of the statistics tell the same story: Immigrants are more willing to take risks that end up paying off in a big way. They’re willing to work hard to make it in the United States. And immigrants are inspired by America to take risks, do big things and work for upward mobility. However, when we reduce the argument for immigration reform down to the electoral and economic incentives, we’re cheapening what it means to be an American. At our core, we are a nation of immigrants. Yes, those incentives are good reasons for comprehensive immigration reform. Eleven million immigrants living here illegally want to live the American dream, but are instead living in the shadows because of a broken immigration system. The path forward for immigration reform is promising. But America’s dialogue on reform should focus on the substantial reasons to reform immigration for those waiting, hoping and praying to become American citizens.

mock draft page 8 rushing and run-stopping ability will help transform Arizona’s rush defense from really not good to just not good. 8.) Buffalo—Ah, my dear hometown Bills. A team with more holes than a sieve, this pick could be used on a quarterback, a wide receiver, a guard, a linebacker, a defensive end or even another cornerback. It’s a new regime in Buffalo, and new regimes typically mean new QBs. Many will connect the dots between head coach Doug Marrone and his college signal caller Ryan Nassib,

and it is certainly looking like he will be the pick to fill the interception-riddled void left by Ryan Fitzpatrick. 9.) New York Jets—If we know anything about Jets head coach Rex Ryan, it’s that he likes defense and Mark Sanchez. And feet. But let’s stick to football here. The Jets just traded away Darrelle Revis. You know, the guy that was almost single-handedly keeping this franchise from becoming the laughing stock of the NFL. New York’s top remaining corner— Antonio Cromartie—has more children than toes and can’t remember half their names, so

let’s give them Florida State corner Xavier Rhodes to pair with him and make his happy family even larger. 10.) Tennessee—The Titans had one of the worst pass defenses in the league last season but a big reason for that is quarterbacks had about a week and a half to throw the ball. Georgia pass rushing expert linebacker Jarvis Jones should force QBs make reads much quicker and keep their cornerbacks from running a half marathon in coverage every Sunday. 11.) San Diego—Hey look! Another team that needs help on the offensive line. Seems to be a

Tuesday, April 23, 2013 bit of a recurring theme among teams that sucked last season. The Chargers ranked 27th in rushing offense last season, and while part of that falls on running back Ryan Mathews, much of the blame goes to the O-line. Alabama guard Chance Warmack ought to be able to help open up holes in the middle. 12.) Miami—The Dolphins went ham in free agency, signing anybody who has even sniffed a Pro Bowl in the last five years. Their offense should be fine in 2013, but their defense has to face Tom Brady twice a year. They actually did a surprisingly OK job of stopping him last season,

picking him off three times and sacking him five times. But that was probably a fluke. Drafting LSU defensive end Barkevious Mingo should help Miami replicate that fluke next season. 13.) New York Jets—Mark Sanchez is a bad quarterback. Now that is settled so we can all agree they need an upgrade. Tim Tebow you say? No you must have misheard me, I said “upgrade.” West Virginia’s Geno Smith should give New York an actual NFL-caliber starting quarterback to jumpstart a passing game that ranked 30th in the league last season. 14.) Carolina—The Panthers need to protect Cam Newton like their life depends on it, because when he’s healthy and has time to throw/run/do superman-type stuff, he can be one of the best in the biz. Oklahoma offensive tackle Lane Johnson should help in that regard. He and Jordan Gross could make one of the top tackle combos in the NFC. 15.) New Orleans—Wouldn’t it be funny if the Saints drafted another wide receiver here just to give Drew Brees ANOTHER weapon? I certainly think so, but since this is a totally serious mock draft, I’ll pass on it. This is the point in the draft where legitimate steals come into play. That’s what will happen here if the Saints can snag Utah defensive tackle Star Lotulelei. A top-five talent, Lotulelei suffers from a heart condition that will have teams at the top of the draft scared, and he will fall to New Orleans here because I say so. 16.) St. Louis—This one is simple enough. Sam Bradford is actually a really good quarterback, but he has nobody to throw to. How sad! Let’s find him a new friend in West Virginia wide receiver Tavon Austin, who will give the Rams a legit deep threat who has the speed to burn defenders. 17.) Pittsburgh—The Steelers are really old, so drafting anyone under the age of 30 is going to be a step in the right direction. Losing James Harrison hurts but losing Mike Wallace hurts more so the ‘Burgh will take Tennessee wide receiver Corderrelle Patterson to fill in across from Antonio Brown. 18.) Dallas—Much like the TV show “Dallas,” the Cowboys were relevant a really long time ago and have tried to reinvent themselves recently to disastrous results. North Carolina guard Jonathan Cooper should cure what ails the Cowboy’s 31st ranked run attack. Sadly, “Dallas” the show traded away all its draft picks and will continue to fester at the bottom of the TNT ratings division. 19.) New York Giants— Osi Umenyiora is gone and he ain’t coming back. Guys like Justin Tuck, Jason Pierre Paul and Mathias Kiwanuka on the defensive line all underperformed last year and their defense was surprisingly not that great. Put Texas safety Kenny Vaccaro in a backfield with Stevie Brown and Prince Amukamara and you can be sure NYG won’t rank 28th in pass defense again. Don’t see your favorite team’s pick here? You can read the rest of Matt’s absurdly long mock draft at dailycardinal.com or email him to let him know how dumb you think his picks are at sports@dailycardinal.com.

Badger D earns early bragging rights By Jack Baer the daily cardinal

With unfamiliar faces and a new formation, the Wisconsin defense won Saturday’s spring game by a score of 61-47 on Saturday. Under the spring game scoring system, the defense scored points with outcomes considered important for defensive success, such as sacks (two points), turnovers (five points) and three-andouts (three points). The defense, playing as the Cardinal team, had six starters sitting out, including seniors, linebacker Chris Borland and defensive linemen Beau Allen and Brendan Kelly. The squad was also working under a new 3-4 alignment brought about by new defensive coordinator Dave Aranda. However, this did not stop the defense from registering an impressive showing against the offense, playing to a close score in the first half and pulling away in the second, outscoring its counterpart 18-5 after halftime. The newfangled 3-4 alignment, which uses three linemen and four linebackers as opposed to the 4-3 seen last year, was noticeable every time the squad lined up. The line

Sophomore linebacker Vince Biegel led the way for the Badger defense with two sacks as the Cardinal team took down the White team 61-47 in Saturday’s annual spring game. of scrimmage regularly held five defenders, with both outside linebackers standing up next to the defensive ends. Senior defensive lineman Ethan Hemer discussed the process of adopting a new system, noting the steep learning curve the change has brought. “It’s a pretty radical change.

Getting the bugs worked out and getting a feel for how it works is what the spring was all about,” Hemer said. “Now guys have a good feel for it and we’re going to go into fall camp and really attack the system.” With many starters sitting, several young defenders were able to shine brightly, particularly red-

shirt freshman linebacker Vince Biegel, who recorded two sacks and a safety. Head coach Gary Andersen praised Biegel’s pass rushing abilities and progress through the spring. “I sat down and evaluated Wednesday’s practice and he jumped out at me and he did again today,” Andersen said. “He made

a couple big plays today, coming around the edge. He’s just playing with more confidence and is letting it rip.” Borland also praised Biegel. “He can really rush the passer and it’s good for us to have depth at the outside linebacker spot,” Borland said. “I think he’ll be able to provide that.” Another standout was true freshman cornerback Sojourn Shelton, who broke up multiple passes. Andersen complimented the freshman’s handling of the transition that comes from being a spring enrollee. “The way he’s handled the adjustment coming from high school has been impressive, not just on the field but off the field.” Andersen said. “His life flipped upside down and he’s handled it very well.” These performances ultimately allowed the defense to secure the all-important prize of bragging rights over the offense as spring practice comes to a close. “A lot of guys were out, that’ll be their contention,” said Borland, “but we will absolutely hold this over their heads.”

Mock draft 2013: taking a look at this year’s first round matt masterson master’s degree

o I decided to write a mock draft in preparation of this week’s NFL draft. You may be asking, “What qualifies you to write anything on the NFL or football in general? You don’t seem particularly bright, and you probably are ugly.” Well, my only defense to that would be to tell you I have better hair than Mel Kiper, and that covers me on all counts—so take that. Plus most of these “experts” have a worse history of predictions than your local weatherman. Here we go. 1.) Kansas City—As you could probably guess from where they are picking, the Chiefs need help all over the field. Gone are the days of ineffective quarterback Matt Cassel and in comes Alex Smith to save the day. Oh joy. Smith may not be the franchise-caliber signal caller you need to succeed in the NFL, but his signing and the lack of a toptier QB in the draft means KC will look to someone else with the No. 1 pick and that someone is Texas A&M left tackle Luke Joeckel. The 2012 All American was widely regarded as the best tackle in college football last season, and he could do wonders opening up holes for Jamaal Charles and keeping Smith upright. 2.) Jacksonville—Like the Chiefs, the Jags can also use help across the board. Need a QB? Yep. Need some help on the offensive line? You betcha. But the best combination of value and talent available at the No. 2 pick is Oregon defensive end Dion Jordan. For a team that put

together a league-low 20 sacks last season—that’s .5 less than J.J. Watt had by himself—Jordan’s speed and athleticism could be just what the Jacksonville defense needs to return to relevancy. 3.) Oakland—Now that Al Davis is gone, you can no longer just pencil the fastest player in the draft in as the Raiders’ pick. So where do they go? Do they take West Virginia QB Geno Smith to replace the departed Carson Palmer? No, no they do not. Instead, they will take someone who can step in and make plays on the defensive line after they lost three playmakers there. Florida defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd will contribute immediately as both a run stuffer and a decent sack producer. 4.) Philadelphia—Oh Philly, what are we going to do with you? Remember when they were the “Dream Team” and then couldn’t finish above .500? Ha, good times. Anyhoo, the Eagles are going to draft Central Michigan offensive tackle Eric Fisher because they have nobody who can do the unthinkable and keep Michael Vick healthy for more than five consecutive snaps. Fisher is every bit as good as Joeckel and is a good value pick here at No. 4. 5.) Detroit—If one thing is for sure, the Lions have this whole offense thing figured out. With Matt Stafford lobbing bombs to Calvin Johnson and a solid run game to boot, Detroit has no problems putting up points. The problem is, they can’t stop opponents from doing the same thing. That’s where Alabama cornerback Dee Milliner comes into play. A consensus AllAmerican last season, Milliner can be a shutdown-type defender who could play a major role in turning around the Lions 27th

ranked scoring defense. 6.) Cleveland—OK I need to keep these picks shorter. The Browns will take USC quarterback Matt Barkley because they aren’t good at football and seem

to enjoy keeping it that way. Seems like a match made in hell. Moving on. 7.) Arizona—After picking up Carson Palmer from Oakland, the Cards seem set at quarter-

back—sort of—so they’ll look to upgrade their defensive line. BYU defensive end Ezekiel “Ziggy” Ansah’s combination of pass-
