PETA criticizes UW research By Sam Cusick The Daily Cardinal

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals accused the University of Wisconsin-Madison Wednesday of violating multiple provisions in the federal Animal Welfare Act during a 2008 research study. The study, which focused on sound localization, conducted various surgeries on cats, including the implementation of cochlear implants, which involves implanting an electronic device in the ear to restore hearing. Researchers experimented on cats because the

feline auditory system is similar to that of humans. PETA alleges UW-Madison mistreated dozens of cats by inserting electrodes into their brains and intentionally deafening them during the study, focusing on one cat in particular named Double Trouble. The organization also filed formal complaints with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the National Institutes of Health. “It took PETA more than three years to pry photographs of Double

Potential Orpheum closure could harm UW, city events By Abby Becker The Daily Cardinal

University of WisconsinMadison students and downtown residents may need to look for an alternative concert venue as the iconic Orpheum Theatre faces the possibility of closing its doors. Co-owners Henry Doane and Eric Fleming need to pay Monona State Bank a loan balance of $1.1 million to continue operating their restaurant, bar and theatre, located at 216 State St. The city also did not renew the Orpheum’s liquor license in July due

in part to a dysfunctional ownership team and a failure to renew its state seller’s permit, according to a letter from Assistant City Attorney Jennifer Zilavy and the city’s Alcohol Policy Coordinator Mark Woulf. Both UW-Madison students and downtown businesses would suffer if the Orpheum closes, according to Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4. Verveer said the Wisconsin Film Festival, which traditionally uses the Orpheum for its annual festival, decided to discontinue using the

Election officials hopeful Voter ID remains blocked on November 6 By Tyler Nickerson The Daily Cardinal

When Wisconsinites flock to the polls on November 6 to participate in one of the most important election in recent years they will not need to present government issued photo identification. The state’s nonpartisan election agency hopes it stays that way. Government Accountability Board Public Information Officer Reid Magney said he is concerned there would not be enough time to educate voters and poll workers if the Wisconsin Supreme Court votes to implement the controversial Voter ID law, which would require voters to present a valid ID at polling places, before November. The Republican-backed legislation passed along party lines in early 2011 and was in effect for February primary elections. But two Dane County judges

ruled the law unconstitutional this spring, indefinitely blocking it. If the Supreme Court votes to repeal the injunction, the rule would be in place for the Presidential, U.S. Senate, congressional and state legislative elections in November. The GAB is concerned about ensuring a seamless election if the law is passed between now and the election, according to Magney. “While we are prepared to implement photo ID before the election if a court orders us to do so, we also want to be sure that voters are prepared as well,” said Magney. “We have laid a foundation of training for clerks and poll workers, but we cannot just flip a switch and have everything working perfectly right away.” After the law passed earlier this year, the GAB initiated an ad campaign to educate voters about

the change, but after the law was blocked suspended the campaign. Democrats have argued the law would unconstitutionally prevent mostly poor, young and minority voters from participating in elections while Republicans say the law will put an end to voter fraud and ensure the integrity of the election process. It is estimated that as many as 11 percent of American citizens do not have government issued photo identification. In August, Attorney General JB Van Hollen, who supports the law, asked the Court to quickly make a decision so it could be in place for the November elections. “People in this state are very frustrated that a common sense law enacted by the Legislature and signed by the governor has been blocked,” Van Hollen said in a statement.

UW students nominated to chancellor search committee

Grey Satterfield/the daily cardinal

The Orpheum Theatre, located at 216 State St., could close if its owners do not resolve an outstanding $1.1 million loan.

Shared Governance Committee Chair Sam Seering announced the nominees for the two University of Wisconsin-Madison student positions on the Chancellor Search and Screen Commitee in a meeting Wednesday. Cody Ostenson and Jason Chiang will be officially appointed by the end of the week when UW System President Kevin Reilly receives the nominations. Seering told The Daily

Cardinal he nominated the students for their experience and ability to represent a variety of students on campus. “We felt like [Chiang] could bridge the divide between graduate student and professional student and really represent that important viewpoint,” Seering said. “[Ostenson] was a former ASM freshman representative on student council so we feel like he knows how to represent individuals.”

Seering said University of Wisconsin-Madison faculty, academic staff, UW System administrators and other constituency members will joined the students on the committee. “I hope that the students will be respected on the committee and that their viewpoints and experiences will be taken into consideration when the decision is ultimately being made about who our next chancellor will be,” Seering said.

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

adam wolf Howlin’ mad

he first full week of classes is just about in the books, and so is the sense of wonderment that comes with it. It seems there’s a certain blend of both optimism and consternation brought upon by the beginning of classes, especially the younger the student that you are. When you prepare to step into your first classes of the semester in your first couple years of college, you’re likely inundated with all kinds of thoughts. You may find yourself thinking, “What’s my professor going to be like?” or “Will I know anybody in this class?” As you get older, those types of thoughts linger less frequently and are supplemented by additional inquiries. Essential, pressing questions like “Is this Friday discussion section really mandatory, or can I still get shitfaced on Thursday nights?” begin to join the fray, to name just one. In some cases, the curiosity surrounding your classes might stem from the fact that you’re not at all sure what the hell you signed up for. I’ve made at least one bad course selection every year, but the choices I made my freshman year were utterly abysmal. Now, I’m sure the student leaders and advisors that assist at SOAR

are perfectly nice, competent people, but that Student Center module was a big fucking bomb to drop on someone that signed up for classes in high school using a course handbook and a piece of paper. I used the Student Center with about as much grace as my grandma attempting to explain the Civil Rights Movement. After a few hours of aimlessly farting around the Student Center to sift through

was Anthropology 100. You want to know what really sold me on anthro? During high school, I used to get up at 5:00 every morning and watch a couple of awful TV shows before the bus picked me up. One of those shows was “Saved by the Bell: The College Years.” I remembered watching one episode where Zack Morris took an anthro class. For one of his projects, he was assigned to gather interviews with various

Graphic by Angel lee

course descriptions, I accepted that I was going to get irrevocably screwed no matter which classes I signed up for. I ultimately resorted to the limited information I knew about a particular subject to guide most of my course decisions. One of the courses I ultimately settled on

women to gain a greater understanding of the female psyche, in an allusion to the film “Sex, Lies and Videotape.” This gripping 30-minute episode formed my conception of what anthropology was all about, and since I had virtually no insight into what else I wanted to take, I bit the bul-

let and took Anthro 100. Hard as it might be to believe, we didn’t do any cool projects like Zack Morris got to do in his anthro class. We learned about stuff like protein synthesis and what a pile of bones in the Indus Valley might indicate about early civilizations. It was actually more boring than it sounds, and I’m still not certain why I didn’t just drop the class. I walked into that lecture hall everyday with the look of impending doom of a man headed to the gallows. I ended up getting a C. Fortunately, Anthro 100 and all the other poor course decisions I’ve made during college have not broken my spirit. While I always remain wary of some of my selections, my optimism generally outweighs the consternation. That much became apparent in my first class of the semester, a large lecture class consisting of mostly first- and second-year students. After rushing to get in before the bell rang, I was taken aback when I sat down and this freshman kid nodded and said “good morning” to me. Certainly a nice gesture, but a little odd. I’m generally not a personable guy, but I took the bait and chatted a bit. He seemed pretty enthusiastic about our class, and it actually rubbed off on me. He mentioned that he just finished his first college class over at Social Sciences. For his sake, I hope it wasn’t anthro. Did the “Saved by the Bell” crew give you the best advice of your life?

Find a better beer at Brickhouse Barbeque Niko Ivanovic Beer columnist

hough Brickhouse BBQ may not highlight any of our Friday night drunken pregame debates about where to go get wasted, the spot is undeniably great in the right context. I probably won’t make too many friends over at Alcoholics Anonymous for this suggestion, but the restaurant is arguably the perfect day-drinking spot. Whether trying to cure the pulsating headache from last night’s “I’m only going to have like maybe two beers” bar crawl, pounding a few pints during the football game, or maybe just enjoying one of the last amazing summer days on their rooftop patio, Brickhouse won’t disappoint with their extensive selection of great brews. Glancing over the list of 40 taps, you’ll immediately notice two facts. First, there are no cheap beers (sorry Miller and Budweiser, they don’t serve 4% alcohol cornwater here). And second, there are a lot of really cheap beers! Now before you reread that sentence 10 times in utter confusion, let me clarify: Brickhouse features an impressive list of craft beer at pretty damn reason-

able prices. Their brews range as low as $3.50-$4 per glass, and don’t really get any higher than six to seven bucks. Though the tap list doesn’t currently feature any exotic or rare ales, it’s enormity can be intimidating to those who don’t know what to look for. Fortunately I’m here to help with some recommendations: IPAs and Pale Ales: These beers are going to be bright, citrusy, earthy and bitter (think grapefruit and pine). I would suggest ordering a Bell’s Two Hearted Ale, or Ale Asylum Bedlam. Two Hearted is simply one of the best IPAs in the Midwest and defies need for description. Bedlam is a Belgian-style IPA, so you will notice lots of yeast, spice and big floral notes along with your standard hop bitterness. Barleywines and Strong Ales: Brickhouse features quite a few big, bold and palate-bruising beers that can range as high as 10 percent alcohol by volume, thus justifying the notably higher pricing. Sierra Nevada’s Bigfoot barleywine represents a standard for the style with lots of caramel, dark fruit, pepper and grassy hops. Or try Lagunitas Undercover Investigation for a spicy, tart and funky take on a hop-forward strong ale. Seasonal Beers: If there’s one thing that comes to mind when I think of fall and alcohol, it’s

pumpkin beer. Southern Tier’s Imperial Pumking is a 9 percent ABV beer that tastes pretty much exactly like pumpkin pie and is featured on tap for a limited time. Stouts: I’ll be honest, Leinenkugel’s makes some pretty below-average beer. For that reason they have never achieved the level of respect in the craft beer community as many other Wisconsin breweries. However, that all changed with the introduction of their ambitious Big Eddy line of beers. The Big Eddy Stout is a surprisingly awesome Russian Imperial, with a dominating profile of powdery chocolate, coffee, dry walnuts and a rich oat finish. Belgian Ales: Another one of those styles that seems to appeal nicely to both introductory beer fans as well as long-time beer snobs, the Belgian ale is an oftenspicy, fruity and yeasty beer that doesn’t shy away from high alcohol levels. Though Brickhouse BBQ doesn’t feature as many really good Belgian offerings as I would like, the New Belgium Super Cru clocks in at 10 percent ABV with notes of pear, tropical fruit, spice and yeast. Overall, in terms of what I look for in a craft-beer bar, Brickhouse is really solid in every category. Still, it’s not perfect and there are few shortcomings worth noting. First, their bottle list is embarrassingly weak, which is so odd con-

sidering their proximity to Riley’s Wines of the World. It would be very cool if they kept their own selection of cellared and rare bottled offerings. Secondly, though the tap list is large, it fails to provide much adventure for those of us who know craft beer well, and have tried most of these beers already. However, it’s worth noting that the restaurant has had some rare beer tastings in the past, including Founders KBS. Combine these special events with a large and affordable tap list and the result is one of the better beer bars on campus. Have questions or comments? Email Niko at ivanovic@wisc.edu.

New ASM constitution legislation falls short By Cheyenne Langkamp The Daily Cardinal

Grey Satterfield/the daily cardinal

A new city amendment could change the rule that currently bans taxicabs from driving down multiple blocks of State Street to look for customers.

City could allow taxicabs to drive on State Street with less regulation By Jesse Pollans The Daily Cardinal

A city committee approved legislation Wednesday allowing taxicabs to drive with fewer restrictions on State Street, an amendment which would make it easier for downtown customers to find a cab in the evening and early morning if approved by Madison’s Common Council next week. The Transit and Parking Commission voted in favor of an amendment allowing cabs to cruise on the city’s most energetic street between the hours of 7 p.m. and 4 a.m. Mayor Paul Soglin opposed the amendment, citing the dangers of increasing the number of cars on State Street due to high liquor sales in the area. “One of the most important aspects of the street is the feel that it provides with its minimal motor vehicle traffic,” Soglin said. Union cab driver Dee Pachlhofer disagreed, saying cabs should be “visible” on State Street at night. “[Students] see a cab and say, ‘Oh, that’s a good idea,’” Pachlhofer said. Previous regulations restricted cabs from driving more than one block on State Street at a time after pick up or drop off of

a passenger. To buy themselves time on the street, drivers often waited at curbs and in loading zones in hopes of finding customers, a practice Soglin has tried to end. Hawk Sullivan, a bar owner on State Street, said tourism in Madison “has skyrocketed in the last 10 years,” and more tourists spend time at the street’s many restaurants and bars. “Cab drivers just need to go where the people are demanding the service,” Sullivan said. “[The drinking culture] will not change overnight, but this legislation can.” One of two members of the commission to vote against the amendment was former Ald. Ken Golden. “One of the more compelling things tonight was who wasn’t here,” Golden said. “We really had people who were here because it affected their livelihood and we also had people here who were trying to predict what affect this might have on their customers, and we didn’t have the customers.” Madison’s Common Council will review the amendment for final approval at its meeting Tuesday.

UHS receives grant to aid suicide prevention University Health Services announced Wednesday they received a three-year $306,000 grant, which will be used for suicide prevention services. The grant, which will provide $102,000 each year, allows universities to find gaps in their current suicide prevention services and fill those gaps with new and improved programs. The grant will also create a suicide prevention council, consisting of students, staff and community members to assist the university in identifying current gaps in university services, Director of University of Health Services Sarah Van Orman said. One of the main goals of the grant is to increase training for students, faculty and staff to recognize at-risk students, be able

to talk with them about suicide and refer them to specialized mental health services, according to Van Orman. A second objective of the grant is to lessen negative connotations associated with mental health and asking for help, Van Orman said. In addition, the grant will focus on specific student groups shown to be at anincreased risk of suicide. The groups include minority students, LGBT students and students who in engage in high-risk drinking, according to a statement by UHS. “Of all of the serious things that go on for the health centers on campus, preventing suicide is one of the most important things,” Van Orman said. —Kelsey Eichman and Sam Cusick

U.S. News & World Report names UW tenth-best public university for second consecutive year For the second year in a row, the University of Wisconsin-Madison ranked tenth on U.S. News & World Report’s list of best public colleges, tying with the University of CaliforniaSanta Barbara. The rankings calculated a university’s overall quality based on freshman retention and graduation rates and strength of fac-

ulty, according to the company’s website. UW-Madison also moved up from 42nd overall to a tie for 41st among national doctoral universities. Additionally, the university’s academic reputation rankings, based on high school counselor and peer perceptions, improved from last year moving from 7th to 6th for high school counselors and from 30th to 26th

for peers. The study recognized UW-Madison for its learning communities, first-year experience and undergraduate research and creative projects sections. Other ranked university programs included the engineering program, at a tie for 13th, and the business program, which came in at a tie for 17th overall.

Student Council voted down legislation Wednesday that would have allowed the student body to vote this fall on a new Associated Students of Madison constitution aimed at reconstructing student government. The new constitution would have established four different branches of ASM: the executive, legislative, judicial and appropriations branches. These would have replaced the institution’s three current branches: the Student Council, the Student Services Finance Committee and the Student Judiciary. A main point of debate was whether or not all University of Wisconsin-Madison students would attempt to become informed enough about the document to vote on it. Rep. Nurys Uceta said based on typically low voter turnout, she felt the effects of the constitution, if passed in the fall, would be too widespread to allow a small group of students to make the decision. “The amount of people that vote and the amount of people that will be affected by this are on opposite sides of the spectrum,” Uceta said. However, Nominations Board Chair Sean McNally said voting down the legislation would disenfranchise students.

“To say in this room, that this body of 25 students is smarter, more intelligent, more capable of making this decision than the 42,000 students we represent is absolutely ridiculous,” McNally said. The constitution needed to be approved by a two-thirds vote in two Student Council meetings to be included on the fall ballot. The document fell short with only 16 “yea” votes to 9 “nays” and one abstention. Eight amendments were proposed and approved before the document was voted down. The amendments’ main effect would have been to spread the power more evenly among the four new branches. ASM Chair Andrew Bulovsky said his goal is to use new ideas brought up in the meeting to further the discussion. “[The debate] brought up a lot of great discussions about the presidency, the chairship, the appropriations branch, SSFC,” Bulovsky said. “So we’re looking for ways to move forward and take these ideas and help make a better ASM regardless.” Bulovsky said the Coordinating Council is likely to discuss alternative options to reconsider all or part of the amended constitution in the future.

peta from page 1 Trouble out of UW,” PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo said in a statement. “Anyone who sees them will understand why the university tried to keep her miserable life and death a secret.” UW-Madison Chancellor David Ward responded to the allegations, claiming they were “unsubstantiated” and a “gross misrepresentation of the research.” “UW-Madison takes its responsibility for the humane use of animals in research with the utmost seriousness,” Ward said in a statement. “All research is subject to strict regulations governing animal care and comfort. Every effort is made to meet both the letter and spirit of those rules.” PETA requested reports from the study in

venue for its downtown screenings in April. The Madhatters, one of UW-Madison’s all male a cappella groups, has also utilized the Orpheum’s stage in the past. UW-Madison senior and member Alex Yant said the Madhatters would miss the Orpheum’s unique atmosphere. “The [majesty] of the venue itself just put us in such a good mood and energized us to keep performing our best,” UW-Madison senior Alex Yant said. Additionally, Majestic Theatre co-owner Scott Leslie said some bands would avoid touring in Madison in the Orpheum’s absence because the size could accommodate larger crowds than many other Madison venues.

January 2009. Later that year the university released more than 1,000 pages and records, but did not release photos or videos. After a lengthy legal battle, the university released 37 photos in June. Shortly after receiving the photos, PETA filed the complaint. USDA officials had previously found 20 violations within university research programs during a 2009 visit, according to The Capitol Times. A follow-up visit in July 2010 revealed UW-Madison had not sufficiently corrected six of the violations, including the use of outdated medications and a cockroach infestation, according to a USDA inspection report obtained by The Capitol Times. In the complaint, PETA called for an investigation into the previous violations and demanded fines against the university if the claims are found valid. But the Orpheum closing would affect more than just Madison’s music scene. Landmarks Commission Chair Stuart Levitan said the city considers the theater a historic landmark that gave State Street its identity as the entertainment area of downtown Madison when it opened in 1927. “To see the Orpheum suffer these financial setbacks is very sad from a historic perspective and from a current revitalization perspective,” Levitan said. Despite what may seem like impossible financial struggles, Resnick said there could be brighter days ahead for the “Madison gem.” “One way or another the Orpheum Theatre is going to operate,” Resnick said. “However, I’m pessimistic under its current leadership.”

arts Basking in DC’s ‘The Shade’ 4

The final installment brings 12-part series to a satisfying close By John Hannasch The Daily Cardinal

Every once in a while, a comic gets it right. I’m talking about having good characters, an entertaining plot and good artwork. While there are a number of comics out right now that fit one or two of those criteria, DC Comics’ “The Shade” is my favorite example that fits all three. The final issue of this 12-issue series came out Wednesday, Sept. 12, and although it’s a bit late for me to tell you all to start buying it, it’s not too late for me to recommend the series as a whole. The character The Shade originated as a two-dimensional villain with shadow powers, created in the 1940s in order to fight The Flash. He stayed that way until writer James Robinson revamped the character to use in his 1994 series, “Starman.” The Shade was now an immortal from Victorian-era England, still with black powers but now with a rather gray morality. “Starman” ran for 80 issues, spawning a dozen spinoff issues, The Shade appearing in most of them. He would often help the protagonist, Jack Knight, defend the fictional Opal City, as it was the one location where The Shade would not break the law.

Eventually, Jack Knight’s adventures came to an end, and The Shade slipped into the shadows, no pun intended. However, some sort of magic must have happened and DC decided that The Shade deserved his own limited series. Robinson agreed to revisit the character he had recreated almost two decades prior and who had only appeared sporadically in the 11 years since “Starman” ended. Perhaps it was because “Starman” had just been collected in its entirety in six hardcover volumes; perhaps DC felt like taking a risk or two in the wake of their “New 52,” where all of DC’s titles restarted at issue number one, an event that did very well in sales terms.

The series, which culminates in the final revelation of The Shade’s unknown, 1838 origin, manages to do an awful lot with the number of pages given. Whatever the reason, the enigmatic Shade was off on a year-long, globe-trotting adventure. The series, which culminates in the final revelation of The Shade’s unknown, 1838 origin,

manages to do an awful lot with the number of pages given. Storylines were resolved satisfactorily in three or four issues, and each storyline had a different artist to accompany it, including such talents as Darwyn Cooke, Javier Pulido, Frazer Irving and Gene Ha. I realize most people will have no clue who any of those people are, but don’t worry, they’re pretty great. Let’s take a moment to mention some of the things present in this book that most, if not all, other books do not have: vampire pirates; a Satanic Spaniard who calls himself “The Inquisitor;” forgotten Egyptian gods, imprisoned by a British cult and Nazis, and the fighting thereof. What’s more, this series has The Shade facing all of these challenges, accompanied by his shadow powers and cutting wit. To focus in on the final issue, it’s fitting that the last installment be about The Shade’s long-hinted origin, with a special guest appearance by Charles Dickens. Thanks to The Shade’s many appearances in “Starman,” we know his origin also gave shadow powers to a dwarf named Culp, whom The Shade would fight for the next century and a half. We know it killed

104 people. Beyond that, however, we were almost entirely in the dark. This issue explores what happened that night, as well as whom The Shade was before his transformation. Richard Swift, as he had then been known, had a wife and family. However, Swift gains immortality, only to lose his memory and all traces of the man he was before. Tragic? Perhaps, but time heals all wounds, as they say, and The Shade has had plenty of that. If you do feel like picking up “The Shade,” I recommend you look for previous issues in the series as well. Though they are not completely essential to understanding this final issue, they are a great read nonetheless. And, hey, if you want, the whole series will be coming out in a paperback collection next March, in addition to the six “Starman” omnibus volumes currently available.

The best and worst of cult cinema classics Austin Wellens all’s Well-ens well

et’s face it. Everybody loves bad movies. But I don’t mean in a “guilty pleasure, you secretly really, truly enjoyed ‘Jack and Jill,’” type of way. I mean it in a goofy, campy, “Killer Klowns from Outer Space” type of way. The sort of movie that makes you scratch your head and wonder exactly who the hell thought making it was a good idea, and why nobody around them was kindhearted and patient enough to talk them out of it. They’re the best. Or rather, the worst. You get what I mean. And the very worst of the best of the worst are sometimes so bad that they become the dark, shadowy things of cinematic nightmares, worshipped in bizarre, frightening midnight showings by cults of devoted, fanatical followers. I’m speaking of course of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” “Reefer Madness” and a movie recently featured at Union South’s Marquee, “The Room.” “The Room” has been called the “Citizen Kane” of bad movies, is widely considered to be pound for pound the worst movie ever made and has the massive, dedicated fan base to match. I was lucky enough to experience a midnight showing of this cultural touchstone one Friday night and immediately decided to return Saturday for another viewing. It was, without a doubt, the most fun I’ve ever had and the hardest I’ve ever laughed while watching a movie. It’s insane. It’s addictive. It’s going to require some explaining. Much like Orson Welles was the one-man army behind “Citizen Kane,” “The Room” is the sticky, disgusting lovechild of just one dedicated individual, Tommy Wiseau.

Wiseau, who wrote, directed, starred in and produced “The Room,” claims to have funded the production by “importing and selling Korean leather jackets” and refuses to elaborate any further on the point. That single fact essentially sets the tone for the entire experience of “The Room.” It’s a movie so bad that fans know the cinematographer, Todd Barron, by name, and will yell at him throughout the film. They yell because the camera occasionally drifts in and out of focus and they feel the need to remind Barron what his job is. Did I mention that the Korean leather business had raised the budget of the film to $6 million? Remember that whole “pound for pound, worst movie ever made” thing? Yeah. Even “Clerks” was in focus the whole time.

[“The Room”] is, more or less, without any redeeming value as a piece of cinema, and yet it maintains a fervent following.

This says nothing of Wiseau’s, shall we say, eccentric, performance, or the fact that one actor quit halfway through production due to “creative differences” with Wiseau, so rather than recasting and reshooting, they just gave that character’s lines later in the movie to… an unnamed character who seems to have been invited to the party for the sole purpose of picking up this now available dialogue. Am I making my point? This movie is awful. It is, more or less, without any redeeming value as a piece of cinema, and yet it maintains a fervent following. Hell, I went two nights in a row, and I’d go a third. So the question seems to be, why? The answer, of course, is the answer to the same question that’s asked about

any of the horrible, beloved movies mentioned earlier—because it creates a community. As I quickly discovered on Friday night, there are certain traditions that go along with the film, certain things you yell or do in response to certain shots or lines, things that anybody who’s been through these woods before knows about. Half the fun of that first night was discovering them for myself, so I won’t spoil any more of them except to say that spoons are involved. Plastic spoons. In the audience. Let your imaginations run wild. However, as much fun as I had learning these traditions, I had even more fun the next night when I knew them all, knew what to yell and when, and heard a theater of other people yelling along with me—when I belonged to the group. Not just that, but I loved getting to be creative and take my own shots and make other audience members laugh. It’s fun contributing to the group. This is, I think, the source of all the appeal surrounding cult cinema midnight showing experiences. In some ways, it’s the anti-cinematic tradition. They’re awful where others strive to be great, they invite the audience in while others tell them to sit and watch, they take what’s traditionally a spectator sport and make it a participatory and, occasionally, contact affair. It’s the anti-hero equivalent of movie going, and it’s one of the most fascinating, enduring, and endearing aspects of our cinematic culture.

n Sept. 11, the University of Wisconsin-Madison Student Organization Fair was held at the Kohl Center, and I had the opportunity to work at one of the organization booths. Over the course of the three-hour-long fair, thousands of people passed me, and after a while I started noticing a prominent trend that made me very optimistic for Wisconsin’s future. There is a conservative wave sweeping this state that will turn the liberal agenda of fiscal irresponsibility on its face and lead to a new era of prosperity, both for the middle class and especially for recently graduated college students

now entering the workforce. I saw many individuals passing my booth wearing “I voted for change” stickers with the iconic Obama “O” in the middle, which I giddily found ironic considering Obama has been an aggressive, war-mongering corporate stooge and has included numerous individuals from George W. Bush’s administration in his own. That said, the number of individuals passing with “I stand with Walker” signs or “Scott Walker: Believe in Wisconsin” far surpassed the number of Obama supporters. For those of you that are new to this campus, over the last year liberal students, teachers, doctors and other community members flooded our Capitol banging drums, giving out fake sick notes, chaining themselves to bike racks and comparing our

dailycardinal.com

duly elected governor to homicidal dictator Adolf Hitler. This was their attempt to recall Walker for his “controversial” budget bill, which balanced Wisconsin’s budget deficit without raising taxes and without laying off any public employees. The bill also caused a drop in property tax rates for the first time in recent history. Meanwhile, they blissfully ignored Walker’s deficit-causing fiscal monster of a predecessor, Jim Doyle, who in 2009 attempted to destroy working class Wisconsinites by ramming through some billion dollars of tax increases overnight. Even after these increases, Doyle still left Wisconsin with a large deficit. The story goes that Scott Walker went through the recall process and received an even larger percent of the vote than he

did when he was elected, and I think this fact and the fact that so many conservative individuals were present at the student organization fair yesterday are telling. I believe as a student body, more and more individuals are ready to reject the deficit spending fantasy that is being spoon-fed to us by prevalent economists and liberal politicians alike, and instead embrace the same reality that each of us face on a day to day basis; we must pay for what we consume, and we are obligated to do so not only from a legal standpoint, but also from a moral one. I have not been shy in the past to bash what I consider to be the large problems with the Republican party, for example its tendency to embrace theocratic social doctrines that make it entirely authoritarian in nature. Too often the party is

insincere when it states it wants to restore fiscal responsibility to the people. What ends up happening is Republican representatives are elected, and, like George W. Bush, they lose control of the budget and do not attempt to restore spending to reasonable levels. Scott Walker has distinguished himself from these individuals by taking a strong and unrelenting stand to take on our budgetary crisis. And I think what I saw at the student organization fair shows that Wisconsin students are ready to stand up for a politician who actually stands up for these values. I hope this tidal wave of red sweeps over this state and across the nation, and I hope that more individuals with steel backbones step up to the plate and defend financial logos.

Compromise needed to solve economy Matt Beaty opinion columnist

f you look at poll numbers, pundit columns and anywhere else in the news, you know now is the golden age of Bill Clinton. According to Gallup polling, 69 percent of Americans view him “favorably.” Clinton’s Democratic National Convention speech was the most “ooh-ed” and “ahh-ed” over, leading to people wanting him to be “Secretary of Explaining Stuff.” Even many Republicans, including Mitt Romney, have been caught testifying of the 42nd president’s greatness. But instead of simply basking in the Clinton mystique and using his popularity to advance their own personal agendas, President Barack Obama and other elected officials should take the government during his tenure as a lesson and a guide. One of the loudest and most persistent themes of the Obama administration is fairness. Most specifically, there is the idea of tax fairness and income inequality. In the debates leading up to his election, Obama would often say that even though raising capital gains taxes (taxes on investments) led to no increase in revenue, he would raise them as an issue of fairness. Obama has also lauded the socalled “Buffett Rule,” which is a bill titled “Paying a Fair Share Act of 2012.” Under Clinton, income share of the top 1 percent increased more quickly and for a longer period of time—his entire presidency— than anytime after 1917. Also, at the beginning of his presidency, Clinton signed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, raising income taxes on the top 1.2 percent. Along with the

enormous amount of revenue coming from the Dot-Com bubble, the higher tax rate led to reducing the deficit the last three years of his eight-year term. It did little for income inequality. The “Paying a Fair Share Act of 2012” would not even dent the budget. It would raise merely $47 billion over 11 years, according to the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation, and there is no evidence it would bring income equality. The “Paying a Fair Share Act of 2012” is not an effective taxation policy. Instead, President Obama should be looking toward achieving economic growth, which will help the middle class. One good way to do this is to take Bill Clinton’s 2011 advice from the article, “It’s Still the Economy, Stupid” by promoting more jobs in energy. Let’s achieve that by creating a truly allof-the-above approach, one that still advances projects like the Keystone XL Pipeline and not just companies like Solyndra and other energy sources that are obviously not ready for prime time. There is never going to be across-theboard income equality, but until the economy starts producing more jobs, the middle class will only weaken. Reducing costly regulations and reducing taxation on oversea profits could

entice businesses to invest in jobs and bring their profits back to spend in the United States. Deficit reduction is supposedly another important goal for both parties, but if the Obama administration wishes to only use the Clinton tax policies as a guide to do so, it is again missing something. This time it is government spending as a percent of GDP. During Clinton’s term, this metric increased only two of the eight years. We were spending less and taxing slightly more. If the Obama administration, or anyone for that matter, wishes to cut the deficit, actual cuts are going to need to happen. This is why the refusal to agree on the Simpson-Bowles Committee proposal by the likes of both President Obama and vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan was such a mistake. If people want to swoon over the Clinton presidency for anything (I highly suggest Christopher Hitchen’s book “No One Left to Lie to” to stop any such swooning) it should be that there was compromise. Unfortunately for us, the compromise under the Clinton administration and the Newt Gingrich-led House of Representatives will never happen with the current White House administration. This is a failure in both parties. So while Republicans talk about the conservative policies of the Clinton Administration, they should start looking at the compromises made as well. The first step for Republicans is to drop the “No Tax Increase” pledges—any pledge for that matter—and start compromising to reach marginal improvements in policy. Economic problems require compromise on both sides of the aisle and also an economy that produces more taxable wealth. The only things citizens can directly control of the two is the leadership. So in the November election think about the president, senators and representatives you think can create a government that will compromise like Clinton and the Gingrich congress, and that is who is deserving of your vote.

markuson from page 8 The Badgers, ranked No. 13 to start the year, lost their first non-conference regular season game in the tenure of head coach Bret Bielema Saturday. What is widely considered one of the two deepest and most talented backfields in the country—behind maybe only Alabama—currently checks in at No. 103 nationally at 101.5 rushing yards per game. The offensive line, normally available to the state Department of Transportation to pave Interstate corridors, has looked more like a Prius navigating a boulder field. Forward progress has been difficult to come by.

“All we can really, definitively say is that it’s unusual to let an assistant coach go two games into the year.”

The Badgers suffered just one non-conference loss prior to Big Ten play, which they will begin Sunday at No. 11 Penn State.

The last eight months have been dedicated to building cohesion amongst a coaching staff that has six new faces and is attempting to transfer that synergy to the players in spring and fall camps. When the Badgers managed just 207 yards of offense Saturday against Oregon State, senior running back Montee Ball said some-

thing that sounded remarkably like Aaron Henry last year after the loss to the Spartans and J.J. Watt the year before in the same East Lansing, Mich., media room. “All we have is each other, and that’s what we’re going to focus on this week,” Ball said. That has been how the UW program has made it through the adversity—a relatively few number of instances, considering the college football landscape these days—in Bielema’s most successful years in Madison. They’ve hunkered down, come together and pushed forward. Only this time, the head coach jettisoned the most experienced assistant he brought in this offseason. I’m not saying the Badgers can’t still come together, and I’m not saying there’s no such thing as addition by subtraction. While it’s fair to question the move—it’s certainly out of the ordinary—it’s obviously not possible to provide a full critique before we see it in action. Therein lies another issue, though. Will we be able to determine whether or not the move worked? Both Ball and quarterback Danny O’Brien said they thought the offense was one big play away from regaining some swagger. It’s hard to imagine the unit

Bielefeld lifts Wisconsin in OT By Rex Sheild the daily cardinal

The No. 13 Wisconsin women’s soccer team (6-1-0 overall) got a late goal in regulation from redshirt sophomore midfielder Kodee Williams and a header from senior midfielder Joana Bielefeld in extra time as the Badgers survived another overtime match, ousting in-state rival University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (1-4-1 overall), 2-1, on the road at Engelmann Field. With the victory, the Badgers improved to 6-1-0 for the first time since 2004. The first half proved to be a stingy defensive battle as there were only 11 shots on goal—six for the Badgers and five for Milwaukee—and the two teams headed into halftime scoreless. As the second half got underway, the Panthers capitalized on a scoring chance in the 58th minute on a corner kick from the far post into the box, where Milwaukee senior forward Sammy Vovos collected a rebound to put the Panthers ahead, 1-0. The Badgers wouldn’t go away without a fight and

finally converted on a scoring opportunity in the 78th minute. Redshirt junior forward Paige Adams took advantage of a deflection into Wisconsin’s zone and found Williams on a cross into the box to tie things up 1-1. Wisconsin didn’t waste anytime offensively in the overtime session, jumping on the attack from the get-go. The aggressiveness paid off for the Badgers as freshman midfielder Kinley McNicoll found Bielefeld on a corner kick, which she headed in for the game-winning goal in the 95th minute to avoid the upset. Wisconsin drastically outshot Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 20-10, including a lopsided 12-5 advantage in the second half. The Badgers will begin conference play on Sunday against Big Ten powerhouse and head coach Paula Wilkins’ former squad, Penn State, at State College. The noon kickoff is slated to be aired live on the Big Ten Network. UWBadgers.com contributed to this report.

would have stayed so bad for the entire season. Then again, who knows. So if the Badgers lose Saturday, what then? You can’t expect 44 points a game from here on out, but can we expect a good amount of improvement from the offensive line after six days with a new position coach? What if they win the Leaders division and play really well the rest of the season? Does this move get credit for that? All we can really, definitively say is that it’s unusual to let an assistant coach go two games into the year and also that the offensive production needs to get better in a hurry. Beyond that, it’s a lot of guessing. That’s not to downplay the magnitude of the move, though. The spectrum of results for this 2012 team is enormous. The offense we’ve seen through two games can’t beat Ohio State and Michigan State at home and can’t beat Nebraska or Purdue on the road. However, if the offensive line returns to form at all, we all know UW has a pretty clear road to Indianapolis considering the sanctions in Columbus and at Penn State. Wisconsin looked like a 4-8 team Saturday. It still didn’t necessarily dash visions of a league title. Figure that out.

All eyes will be on the Badger offense Saturday as it plays its first game under new offensive line coach Bart Miller, who will have had just five days under his belt as a positions coach.

Badgers ready to roll after rare early loss By Ryan Hill the daily cardinal

The Wisconsin Badgers football team (1-1 overall) now has its loss out of the way. Senior running back Montee Ball is thankful that the team suffered a disappointing loss this early in the season. All that’s left to do now is put the pedal to the metal. “It was the best practice we’ve had all year,” Ball said Tuesday. “Today’s focus was unbelievable. And I’m not just saying that, it really was.” But why did it take so long for this sense of urgency to settle in?

Number of consecutive non-conference games UW had won before 10-7 loss to Oregon State

Number of consecutive non-conference games UW had won under Bret Bielema

Ball said it has a lot to do with the veteran players growing accustomed to winning almost effortlessly in most games over the last few years. “It wasn’t there before because I guess all of us players are used to being on top,” Ball explained. “And we’re not really used to building the program. Right now we’re all learning.” Head coach Bret Bielema had not lost a non-conference game until last Saturday. Additionally,

the Badgers have blown nearly every non-conference opponent out of the water over the past few seasons, other than a 20-19 squeaker against Arizona State at home during the 2010 season. In fact, the Badgers have outscored non-conference opponents 352-91 since the beginning of that 2010 campaign. Now Ball’s explanation of the lack of energy this season doesn’t seem so surprising. The team simply thought this portion of the schedule would be another walk in the park. “Looking on the bright side, it’s kind of good that we lost,” Ball said. “Now we have that sense of urgency that we’re going to carry forward every game.” He even compared last week’s loss to the likes of the Michigan State and Ohio State heartbreakers last season, and junior quarterback Danny O’Brien thinks those losses will be beneficial to the situation that Wisconsin now finds itself in, despite joining the Badgers just a few months ago. “This group, they went through a lot of adversity last year,” he said. “I wasn’t a part of that but I underwent a lot of adversity myself. So these guys are battle-tested and know how to bounce back.” Wisconsin likely had a case of being taken aback by Oregon State scoring first last weekend. That surprise, first-year offensive coordinator Matt Canada said, had a little to do with straying away from pure Wisconsin football last weekend. “Saturday, we got off track,” he admitted. “We got down a

couple of scores, time got into the game a little bit.” Establishing the run game has been an extremely easy task and has been so instrumental to Wisconsin’s success in past years, so it’s no wonder that the team wants to get back to that formula and keep the ball on the ground as much as possible. “We want to run the ball,” senior tackle Rick Wagner said, who was the lone offensive lineman available to press after Tuesday’s practice in the wake of the firing of offensive line coach Mike Markuson. “We had way too many passes [last weekend], and for O-linemen we don’t like that. We want to run the ball on Saturday.” “We have to establish the run game,” Ball said. “We just have to make sure we play our style of offense.” He also admitted that there has been frustration—even this early in the season—with his numbers, which many expected to be nothing less than Heismanworthy. He has reiterated that it is still early in the season and that a slow start like this year’s is nothing new to him. “[I’m] a little frustrated, but it motivates me,” he said. “Just like I said to a couple of people, it took me five games last year to sneak in and we have 10 [games] left guaranteed.” Wagner is also using the adversity to his advantage, welcoming the added pressure that has come along with the 1-1 start. “We’re used to having all the pressure on the O-line,” he said. “That’s what we want, that’s when we strive.”

hen any sports season concludes, one of the most interesting exercises is to look back at defining moments. Sometimes, anybody that’s watching knows one when they see it live. Other times, the moments are shrouded and only become apparent in their importance much later. Occasionally, something appears to be a season-defining moment and it turns out not to be. In 2011, everybody knew the loss at Michigan State Oct. 22 was huge. With the clock at zero and the referees looking over replay after replay of Kirk Cousins’ Hail Mary pass to Keith Nichol, it was obvious then-No. 4 Wisconsin had its national title hopes hanging in the balance. The next week, most figured another late loss against Ohio State ended the Badgers’

Rose Bowl hopes. The post-game interviews in Columbus certainly had that feel. As it turned out, it wasn’t true. In 2010, not everybody would have immediately pegged Jay Valai’s blocked extra point September 18 as a defining moment, but it preserved a 20-19 win against Arizona State at Camp Randall. UW lost two weeks later on the road against Michigan State, and wins against then-No. 1 Ohio State and No. 15 Iowa back-to-back weeks conjure up the most memories, but imagine how different the season would have felt had that loss to MSU dropped Wisconsin to 3-2. They ended up in the Rose Bowl that year as well. All of those moments have one thing in common. They happened on the field. This week has an eerily similar feel of weight to it around the Camp Randall facilities, but the crossroads is largely being navigated behind closed doors.

Five things to watch compiled by Peter Geppert

MARKUSON OUT, MILLER IN

The brief tenure of firstyear offensive line coach Mike Markuson came to a crashing halt when head coach Bret Bielema unexpectedly announced that he had been let go Sunday. After only two games with the program, Markuson took the fall for a group that had been a black eye for a struggling offense early in the season. Although the loss of Markuson will leave a big gap in terms of experience in the Badgers’ coaching staff, Bielema was adamant at his Monday news conference that new offensive line coach Bart Miller is the right man at the right time to bring the Badgers’ line back to glory. Miller graduated from New Mexico in 2007, where he was coached by exWisconsin offensive line coach Bob Bostad. Formerly an offensive quality control coach, Miller is in his second season with the football program after coming to Madison from New Mexico State, wherehe worked as a graduate assistant after the 2010 season. His immediate impact on the play of the offensive line, historically a staple of Wisconsin football, will be a key component of the game.

2 BIG MEN ON CAMPUS

Now that Markuson is gone, the onus is on the offensive line to produce for the rest of the season. With multiple top-level draft picks under Bostad, who has since moved on to the NFL, it is easy to see how Wisconsin fans have become spoiled in recent years with the high-level play up front. Those days are gone, as the buffet-busters up front have been unable to open up holes

for last year’s Heisman Trophy finalist, senior running back Montee Ball. In the Badgers’ 10-7 loss to the Oregon State Beavers (2-0 overall) last weekend, the offensive line was overmatched up front by a quicker and more elusive Beavers’ defensive front. Look for senior left tackle Rick Wagner to bounce back from a tough game by leading a re-energized offensive line to a big performance under their new coach.

HI, I’M CHUCKIE, WANNA PLAY?

The Utah State Aggies (2-0 overall) will be featuring an explosive quarterback in sophomore signal caller Chuckie Keeton. Badger fans should have plenty reasons to fear Keeton as well. Keeton is fresh off a performance in which he torched Pac12 opponent Utah, completing 22-of-32 passes for 216 yards and two touchdowns while leading the Aggies to a 27-20 overtime win over their in-state rival. The Aggies’ victory over Utah snapped a 12-game win streak in the series by the Utes, a streak that dated all the way back to 1997. Keeton was also named the Western Athletic Conference Player of the Week for the first time this season after last week’s performance. Through two games, the sophomore has dazzled fans in his second season in Logan, Utah. The 6-1, 200-pounder out of Houston, Tex., ranks 11th nationally in pass efficiency with a mark of 173.5 and accounts for 304.5 yards of offense per game for the Aggies. His 260 yards per game through the air puts him 15th nationally in passing. After matching up successfully against two pocket-passers in their first two games, the Badger defense will be going up against a quarterback in Keeton who can hurt opponents with his legs as well. Finding a way to contain him, as well as a potent accompaniment of wide receivers early, will be key for

the Wisconsin defense in order to give the offense enough time to find a rhythm. If the Aggies get off to a quick start with Keeton at the helm and the Badgers are forced to play catch up, it could spell trouble for UW.

‘O’ CANADA

With the firing of one of the key coaches on the offensive staff in Markuson, the scrutiny of public opinion now shifts to first-year offensive coordinator Matt Canada. Through two games the numbers have not been pretty. The Badgers are 10th in the Big Ten with a pedestrian 16.5 points per game. Wisconsin enters Saturday last in the Big Ten in rushing yards per game, only pounding out 101.5 yards on the ground, which comes out to a horrific 2.9 yards per carry. The Badgers have also struggled to move the chains, ranking 10th in the conference in first downs with a mere 17.5 per game. Bielema has shown he is not afraid to make drastic changes if the team and staff can’t produce to his expectations. If Canada is unable to get the Badgers’ offense rolling again in the way that players and coaches were accustomed to in the ultra-efficient attack of former offensive coordinator Paul Chryst, changes could be made offensively.

PICKING UP THE PIECES

After dropping their second game of the season to Oregon State last weekend, Saturday’s game marks the first time in Bielema’s seven years with the Badgers that the team will be trying to come back from a loss to a non-conference opponent. Prior to the defeat, Wisconsin was 25-0 under Bielema in non-conference games. Under Bielema, the Badgers are 5-2 in home games following a road loss and will look to put their season back on track Saturday against the Aggies.

The Spartans have held their opponents to an average of 10 points per game, and with Notre Dame possibly giving the nod to sophomore Tommy Rees at quarterback after starting quarterback and fellow sophomore Everett Golson was shaken up in the fourth quarter of last week’s game, it could prove to be a blowout Saturday night at Spartan Stadium if the Fighting Irish get away from the disciplined play that has gotten them to a 2-0 start. Last year, Notre Dame started 0-2 with 10 turnovers and a minus-seven turnover differential. This year, however, the Fighting Irish have only turned the ball over twice and have a plus-four turnover differential. If Notre Dame can get solid play at quarterback and continue to play disciplined football, there could be an upset in East Lansing on Saturday night. With the way that Michigan State has played on both sides of the ball so far, however, it seems as if the Spartans will head into Big Ten play with an undefeated record.
