Amazon deal raises red flags for campus shared governance and student spaces Story by Madeline Heim
I
t all seemed like a fairly straightforward process. The shipping giant Amazon sought out an agreement with UW-Madison to land one of its Pickup Points, which allows customers to pick up their orders on-site, inside the campus’ historic Red Gym. Like other contracts with private profit-making organizations in excess of $1 million, the deal was required to come before the UW System Board of Regents for formal approval. The regents looked at the contract Aug. 18 and, after some discussion, approved it. But the decision surprised several shared governance groups on campus—because it was the first time they were even hearing about it. “That was when we first learned
about it, at the regents meeting when the agenda was sent out the day before the meeting,” said Michael Moscicke, acting president for UW-Madison’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors. “At that time, I raised a few concerns.” Amazon Pickup Points LLC has secured similar agreements in other universities, such as the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the University of California, Berkeley and just one other Big Ten school, Purdue University. The pickup site will occupy approximately 2,200 square feet of space in the Red Gym, according to UW-Madison spokesperson John Lucas, and is expected to bring in revenues that guarantee the university will be paid at minimum $100,000 annually. The contract also requested exclusive rights to be an on-campus pickup

The historic Red Gym, built in 1894, has long served underrepresented populations and offered other important services for students. Now, it is slated to hold a pickup site for Amazon.
Rainbow Bookstore faces potential closure after more than 25 years By Jake Skubish THE DAILY CARDINAL
KATIE SCHEIDT/THE DAILY CARDINAL
The Rainbow Bookstore will sell all items for at least 50 percent off in an attempt to generate sales for the struggling business.
After more than 25 years in Madison, the Rainbow Bookstore Cooperative is in danger of closing due to financial troubles. “We are in the process of having meetings to come together and determine what we want to do as a store and as a cooperative,” said Elizabeth Severson, a Rainbow Bookstore Cooperative volunteer. Although the store is scheduled to remain open through the end of September, its future beyond that point is uncertain. To encourage business and community interest, every item at Rainbow is currently at least 50 percent off. A group of volunteers start-
ed the Rainbow Bookstore Cooperative in 1989, and it remains staffed by several dozen volunteers today, according to the store’s website. The store is focused on books that “challenge the status quo,” with sections of the store containing topics such as socialism, feminism and the media, among others. It aims to use its resources to serve as “a meeting place, social space, and informational hub for Madison’s progressive community.” This engagement with the community manifests itself in the many programs that the cooperative runs each year. Rainbow runs the LGBT Books to Prisoners initiative, which sends books to LGBT-identifying prisoners in the United States, as
well as the Wisconsin Books to Prisoners program for prisoners in Wisconsin. The bookstore also brings many authors to Madison for events throughout the year. According to Sandi Torkildson, co-owner of fellow Madison bookstore A Room Of One’s Own, there is still demand for local bookstores, but community support is crucial. “There is joy in going to a bookstore because you don’t have to know what you’re looking for,” Torkildson said. “We had some tough times during the recession, but we had lots of support from the community … people should buy from their local bookstore, because it will help it survive.”
Suspected bank robber targets six local locations over several months By Hunter Nollenberg THE DAILY CARDINAL
The Madison Police Department is asking for help from the public in locating a suspected serial bank robber, continuing to investigate six incidents assumed to be related. One of six attempted robberies occurred shortly before 10 a.m. Aug. 20 at a Chase Bank location near
the intersection of North High Point Road and Old Sauk Road. MPD officers documented this as the second attempted robbery, the first being successful, at this same location. MPD reports said that July 14 a man advanced towards the teller, showed he possessed a firearm and demanded money. “MPD detectives say it is quite
possible a July bank robber was thinking about holding up the same financial institution,” said Public Information Officer Joel DeSpain, “but got spooked and ran before committing another crime.” Two robberies at Anchor Bank and Heritage Credit Union both occurred within two weeks of one another. At Union Bank & Trust
in the Village of Oregon, another attempted robbery happened Aug. 26, while a burglary transpired at a U.S. Bank location on Cottage Road Sept. 10. “They [MPD] have also found crimes are generally occurring on Fridays or Saturdays, typically during the morning hours,” DeSpain also wrote.
Officials say the individual is a 6-foot-tall African-American male between the ages of 30 and 40, weighing between 220 and 250 pounds. He traditionally is seen wearing a gray or black hoodie and sunglasses, as well as a bandana covering his face. Anyone with information is asked to contact Madison Area Crime Stoppers at 608-266-6014.
“…the great state University of Wisconsin should ever encourage that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found.”

Conquering the seasonal switch By Karli Fink the daily Cardinal
Summer is a wonderful season filled with sunshine, lakes and pink lemonade. It’s a time to relax and enjoy the freedom and fun of being a college student without the stress of being a complete adult. Sorry kids, I hate to tell you, but summer is indeed over and school is in session. It’s time to trade in your tank tops for textbooks. It’s a hard transition to make, but everyone is capable of overcoming it—you just have to follow a few steps and I promise that you will survive too.
Work on your wardrobe
Evolve your wardrobe one layer at a time. I already miss the days of shorts and swimsuits, but switching directly to jeans and a sweatshirt for those chilly nights is not your only option. Personally, I’m a huge fan of the shorts and long sleeved look. People outside the Midwest might see the style as crazy, but my arms always get cold before my legs do so I say rock it. This is also your opportunity to break out that cute lightweight coat that is only wearable for about 2 weeks total in the year. Take advantage of the time when you don’t have to wear a huge
parka that covers everything but your ankles. The dreaded yearly freeze—all six months of it—are fast approaching. Wear that pumpkin T-shirt while you can.
Stay healthy
Avoid cold feet—literally, because being sick is one of the worst things when you’re trying to get back into the school groove. I can personally vouch that keeping yourself healthy is one way to make the summer to fall transition a lot easier. Although I can never seem to avoid getting sick immediately after arriving on campus, you definitely can. Wash your hands all the time, try to avoid sharing drinks and chapstick, eat healthy-ish, Clorox your dorm room if your roommate seems a little stuffy and get a flu shot (Available soon at your campus UHS). There’s no need to quarantine yourself or even wear one of those little masks over your face around campus. Just follow the basic cold and flu avoidance rules and you’ll be fine. If you do get sick and think that you might need a real doctor’s help, just head over to UHS and they will get you taken care of for free.

Beating the summer blues is tough when you know you’re saying goodbye to this view. Lake Mendota is always beautiful. Take in the season
Find a way to enjoy the fall weather. Whether it’s cheering in the stands at a Badger football game or going through a corn maze at a pumpkin patch, you will want to enjoy the weather while you can. The air is crisp without being frozen and sweating through your clothes isn’t a worry. Plus somehow the leaves on the trees are magically going through a metamorphosis of color, turning campus into a postcard. So go study by the lake or even just in the grass outside, the fresh air will do you a lot of good.
Don’t procrastinate
ellen brandt/The Daily Cardinal
Living in Wisconsin you learn to be all about layers. This means that you can mix and match articles of clothing all year round!
Don’t fall (pun intended) behind in your schoolwork. It may seem like you don’t have a lot of work right now and putting it off a few more days isn’t a big deal, but beware of the procrastination monster. Professors will no longer be
assigning minimal work and the reading, writing, problem solving and labs will be shooting at you full force. Better to stay ahead of the game while you can and keep from being too stressed within the first month of the semester.
Explore opportunities
Get involved. I know, I know everyone says this but it’s seriously a great thing to do. Besides getting free meals for attending the kickoff meetings, you can also build up your professional skills and make some friends that can help you push through any and all obstacles you encounter. Autumn is a great time of year, embrace it and the adventures ahead of you. Stay healthy, stay on top of your work, and above all do what makes you happy. Go Badgers and happy Fall.
How to keep calm and carry on this semester By Samantha Marz the daily cardinal
There is a palpable energy that flows throughout campus. It pulses when a sea of red floods Camp Randall, when the sun sets over Lake Mendota and even when students walk from class to class. This atmosphere is one of the most significant things we can be a part of during our time here. However, when the stress of homework, essays and grades hits, we sometimes lose sight of that. We are ultimately attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison to receive a college degree. Yet, with our schedules already packed full with classes, clubs, sports and friends, it seems like a daunting task to find time to study, all the while keeping our stress levels in check. Despite all of this, there are still steps we can all take to stay calm and start the semester on a strong note.
Take a deep breath
Taking a deep breath before diving into a difficult task—especially studying or taking a test—is a great way to clear your head and help you mentally prepare for whatever
task lies before you. This may not help you ace your chemistry test, but it will put you in a more refreshed state of mind to accomplish your task.
Keep your focus
time and still have a large amount of coursework to cover, you may want to prioritize your study time over an extracurricular. It also may be better in the long run to forego a night out on the weekend so you can prepare for that exam Monday morning. Sometimes school does warrant sacrificing a Saturday or two to study. You may feel like you are missing out, but at the end of the day, you are here to attend school. Balancing these aspects of college are key to getting the most out of your time here.
With various responsibilities piling up on your plate, the temptation to bite off more than you can chew is high. Rather than getting weighed down by all the things there are to do in a day, focus on the task at hand with a clear and focused mind. Don’t worry about your English essay if you are in the middle of a biology lecture. This may seem difficult, especially because the English essay is obviously the more pressing concern, but all that will do is add unnecessary pressure on yourself. This goes for sports and clubs as well. Don’t worry about “wasting study time” by going to a club meeting. The point of college, after all, is to experience as many new things as possible and to take advantage of the campus atmosphere.
Remember that virtually everyone that walks past you on the street is in the same boat as you. We may have different majors, but the one thing we all have in common is that we are a part of this big, beautiful campus. Making plans to study with someone can help take some of the pressure off, even if you don’t share the same classes as them. You both can help motivate one another to get your work done.
Prioritize
Give yourself a break
That being said, you are your best judge. If you are crunched for
Work with someone
This is arguably the most important point here. If you don’t give
yourself a break from work, your stress will get the best of you and burn you out. By giving yourself some free time,—whether that means going for a run, watching an episode on Netflix or taking a minute to rest your eyes—you will feel better and more willing to push through the rest of your work. It truly comes down to how you work best, and you are the most qualified person to make that judgment call.
The point of college, after all, is to experience as many new things as possible and to take advantage of the campus atmosphere.
As stressful as coursework is, it won’t last forever. What will last are the irreplaceable experiences in Madison. It is an environment brimming with energy and opportunity at every turn, so above all, remember to step back and appreciate these experiences that will soon become your lifelong memories.

Students form safe space to discuss eating disorders By Sammy Gibbons THE DAILY CARDINAL
UW-Madison students are creating a new student organization that offers a safe space for individuals to discuss eating disorders. Carter Kofman, a UW-Madison senior and one of six founders of the organization, said the group is still in its infancy. It has yet to have a title, but he and the other students know they want it to be a weekly meeting of a peer support group setting. They also know that education will be a key component, and they have connected with the National Eating Disorders Association to get information for their chapter. Kofman’s goal for the group will be to find a way to teach those both struggling with eating disorders and those who don’t about the issue. “I hope that it removes shame for people experiencing these feelings, behaviors and actions,” Kofman said. “There can be less
stigma around eating disorders and the implications of them and how we handle them. This can shape how we talk to our friends about them and remind people that we shouldn’t make jokes about them.”
“I hope that it removes shame for people experiencing these feelings, behaviors and actions.” Carter Kofman UW-Madison senior
Kofman also co-chairs the support group organization Live Free. This organization provides a place of safe conversation for students struggling with substance abuse or those who want an alternative to the party culture on campus. He said that the new group will have a similar feel to that of Live Free.
“Like Live Free, this group will create a space to have that conversation to open that dialogue between students,” Kofman said. “They’ll learn that there are other students who are obsessed with eating, whether that be restricting or binging. There’s other people who are not comfortable with their bodies, and we’ll have discussions on how to change that on campus.” Kofman plans to connect their new organization to others on campus that encourage wellness and happiness to students. Along with other founding members, Kofman plans to launch the group in the spring. Most founding members will graduate shortly after meetings start, but he hopes that new leaders will lead the organization forward. “This is just a little seed in the ground,” Kofman said. “There’s so much room for this to grow. It would be awesome if there were other voices in the process.”

UW-Madison senior Carter Kofman and five other students are making plans for a new student organization. The group will support and educate students with, and without, eating disorders.
amazon from page 1 location, according to the executive summary from the regents meeting, and will last for five years. Unless either party decides to not renew it, the contract will extend for another five-year period. Moscicke said the regents shared some of the concerns he had himself, like whether other private entities had previously been allowed to bid on the opportunity of leasing space with the university. However, he added that he understood the regents may not always have time to look into each issue in-depth since they govern so many campuses. After the regents approved the contract, Moscicke brought his concerns back to other members of UW-Madison’s AAUP. They drafted a letter that, after it was voted on by the entire membership body, was sent to Chancellor Rebecca Blank Sept. 1. “It’s not the usual way that we address issues,” Moscicke explained. “Usually we try to go through the elected governance
groups on campus, but due to the time constraint, we just wanted to go right to the chancellor.” The letter lists seven issues that the AAUP asks Blank to consider, including that shared governance bodies were not aware of the contract and the site could divert meeting space for important campus organizations like the Morgridge Center for Public Service and the Multicultural Student Center. It also called the private corporation’s benefitting from the use of university resources an “ethical grey area at best,” and urged Blank to use “excessive caution and transparently apply ethical principles beyond reproach prior to entering into this and future agreements.” Associated Students of Madison Chair Carmen Goséy explained that if shared governance had been used correctly in this instance, Student Council would have discussed the facts of the contract, as well as reached out to others in groups housed at the Red Gym and even the Dean of Students’ office. “That’s how shared governance should work,” Goséy said. “The
fact that this was kept in the dark was definitely—there was no process that could be done about it, because no one knew about it.” Shared governance has been a rather touchy subject on campus since the last biennial budget, when Gov. Scott Walker removed it from state statute so universities were no longer legally obligated to uphold it. However, Blank has said she intends to uphold it at UW-Madison. Goséy was equally concerned with the fact that a corporate entity would be entering into the same location as many campus safe spaces, like the Multicultural Student Center, the LGBT Campus Center and the upcoming Black Cultural Center. “People on this campus that already do not feel it is inclusive, how do we make them feel by doing this?” Goséy asked, pointing to the string of hate crimes that occurred last semester. “It doesn’t seem as if inclusivity is in the front of our minds.” The pickup point will not directly displace the MSC, but

Gov. Scott Walker solicited millions of dollars for a conservative group, according to documents obtained by The Guardian.
Walker denies wrongdoing after campaign finance dump Gov. Scott Walker dodged questions on his campaign finance record Thursday at a press conference, following the release of documents shedding light on his activities during the 2011 recall election. The question was raised following the release of 1,500 documents by The Guardian Wednesday which include evidence toward alleged campaign finance violations in a case against Walker beginning in 2012. Gathered by Wisconsin prosecutors, the documents cite several incidents of Walker soliciting corporate leaders for donations to the Wisconsin Club For Growth, a conservative organization that supported his campaign in the 2012 recall election. Walker only offered highlights of his current and future fundraising efforts when asked about his involvement with outside groups. “Right now what I’m focusing on is finishing up the last little bit of our presidential campaign, which we suspended, which will be done by the end of the year,” Walker said, according to the Capitol Times. “And then next year, getting ready to raise funds for Friends of Scott Walker to start
for a re-election campaign in 2018.” When asked more general questions about the previous case, John Doe II, Walker said voters should not be concerned with evidence released in The Guardian’s report. “The facts have been clearly laid out there, and the facts are that the courts have looked at what has been done over the last six years,” Walker said. “They’ve consistently ruled that this was a baseless investigation.” The John Doe investigation ended controversially in a 4-2 state Supreme Court ruling last summer. Prosecutors argued the closure should be overturned as some of the justices who favored it have, in the past, received money from donors under investigation. Documents never before seen by the public include evidence suggesting influence by NL Industries, a lead producer, on Walker’s legislation protecting paint makers against liability. They show the corporation’s owner, Harold Simmons, gave a total of $750,000 to Wisconsin Club for Growth between April 2011 and January 2012, close to the time of the bill’s approval, as well as another that benefited the lead industry.
Lucas said it will cause the Study Abroad Resource Center to move from its current location to the former On Wisconsin room in the Red Gym. The center’s associate director for advising, Susan Lochner Atkinson, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Kathy Cramer, faculty director for the Morgridge Center, said that although the center is also not directly affected by Amazon’s entry, they will end up losing space for organizations like Badger Volunteers, which previously held 50 to 70 events in the area where the Study Abroad Resource Center will move. Cramer said she also had not heard anything of the contract before it was approved by the regents, and added that the corporate aspect of Amazon could change the atmosphere of community fostered in the Red Gym. “The staff and students involved here have strived to make this a haven for students, and it’s my sense since becoming faculty director here at the Morgridge Center for
Public Service two years ago, that they have succeeded in doing so,” Cramer said. “Inserting an Amazon pickup point immediately inside the first floor entrance would likely change that dynamic. In short, I am not happy about it.” University personnel are now in the process of communicating with building occupants about the plans for the pickup site, according to Lucas, and he said the project “should not have an impact on programming for our students.” To ease worries and hear conversation, Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration Laurent Heller said he has been reaching out to the various shared governance groups and will report back to those groups in hopes of facing some of the challenges they presented. Heller said there is not a timeline for when final approval on the contract will be given, but said he will likely be the one to sign it. “I probably would,” Heller said. “I’m trying to hold onto it until we can be sure we can do the best we can to make sure that these possible impacts are mitigated.”

Mac Miller releases new 10-track album By Edgar Sanchez THE DAILY CARDINAL

Frightened Rabbit band warms the hearts of new and old Madison fans By Morgan Winston THE DAILY CARDINAL
Once again, I found myself alone at a concert. I do thoroughly enjoy attending shows by myself and I happen to do it more frequently than most. However, as I biked up to the fading festivities of Live On King Street, I was quite skeptical about how the night would turn out. These doubts were brushed aside as I entered the Majestic. The infectious energy from LOKS was carried in by the large and boisterous crowd, and my excitement for the start-ofthe-fall concert season overtook me. With the familiar ache of my camera strap on my shoulder, I found a spot on the balcony to observe the audience. With Frightened Rabbit nearly soldout, the room felt electric. When Into It. Over It. came onstage at around 11:30 p.m., frontman Evan Thomas Weiss quickly gained control over the buzzing crowd. The band showed great contrast, switching between haunting guitar and drawn-out vocal melodies to loud, beat-heavy verses. In-between songs, Weiss gushed about touring in Madison and the band’s Scottish tour-mates, reminiscing about defeating them in the traditional Midwestern game corn hole. It was easy to tell why Frightened Rabbit had chosen to take Into It. Over It. on this tour with them. The members fed on the energy of the crowd, while their music built a lot of excitement and energy for the headliners. Not having any prior experience, Into It. Over It. was one of my favorite parts of this concert. I was able to experience their music for the first time in its raw, live form. As the stage crew began
to rearrange equipment and the comfortable chatter of the venue returned, I became extremely anxious. After listening to Frightened Rabbit’s newest release, Painting of a Panic Attack, over and over again this summer, all of my thoughts and emotions tied to their music began to rush back. When the openings of “Get Out” started to emanate from the stage, the energy of the venue immediately grew. Choosing to open with arguably their most popular song from their new album was a smart choice. When the sort of synthesizer beat came in, followed quickly by the simple guitar melody, the crowd was hooked. As lead singer Scott Hutchison’s voice began to drift out over the crowd, I immediately remembered why I had fallen in love with Frightened Rabbit’s music in the first place. I settled in for an amazing night. From their start in 2003, Frightened Rabbit has released beautiful album after album. Hutchison joked with the audience about the age of their music, introducing songs with phrases like, “This next song is even older than that one.” Long-time fans were treated to multiple songs from their 2008 album, The Midnight Organ Fight, including fan favorite “Head Rolls Off.” As a newer fan myself, I was thrilled to hear these older songs live. I could easily tell that Frightened Rabbit has been touring for 10-plus years. “Break” was definitely a stellar example of this, with Hutchison playing the neck of his guitar to produce a gritty, unique sound. This upbeat song placed in the middle of their set, kept the energy of the night going despite how late it was into the night. Each song was able to build off of the pre-
vious one and the momentum continued to increase. My highlight of the night came for me with “Lump Street,” one of my favorites from their new album. I was treated to the extreme darkness of the sound that I know and love, with a bass so heavy you could feel it through the floors, the walls and the seats. The quick drumming of Grant Hutchison, returning from a brief break from tour, brought out the complex beat formations of the song. The ethereal tones of the keyboard gave excellent contrast to the strong, consistent guitar sounds. As the night came to a close, I found myself continuously drawn to the talented Scott Hutchison. His voice has such clarity and character. You know it’s him when he’s singing, but most importantly you know that he is singing his songs. Every lyric is filled with such emotion and honesty. Ending the first part of their set with “Keep Yourself Warm,” Hutchison climbed onto a speaker on the side of the stage and sang his heart to the crowd. It was the most beautiful moment of the concert. Beginning the encore with “My Backwards Walk” was another honest moment from Hutchison, who was only joined by the rest of the band for the second half of the encore. The rest of the night was a blur as I tried to soak in the last remaining songs from this wonderful, talented band. With my ears ringing, I left the concert with a full and amazed heart. Were you at Frightened Rabbit’s concert at the Majestic? What did you think of the concert? Let us know at arts@dailycardinal.com.
Pittsburgh-based rapper Mac Miller released his The Divine Feminine LP last weekend. The initial EP, turned full 10-track album, is a mixture of funk and electro R&B samples accompanied by a slew of features. The once keg-standing “frat rapper” has grown since the days of Blue Slide Park and his craft has benefited as a result. The flurry of self-reflections about drug abuse as covered in Miller’s past work, are replaced exclusively by the topics of love and companionship. Miller has never been shy about his romantic life and he places it entirely on display over the course of the album. The track “Skin” stands out particularly with lyrics like, “I opened up your legs and go straight for your heart.” It is notable that Miller avoids exploring the acts of love, without becoming unsavory. He succeeds in appearing more passionate than lustful and the LP benefits as a result. Three quarters of the LP includes impressive features, who each deliver a beneficial layer to the respective tracks, while complementing Miller’s lyrics. Njomza, who Miller signed, provides a hook on “Planet God Damn” that encapsulates the romantic theme of Miller’s lyrics while adding a needed feminine touch. The same is true for TY Dolla $ign’s contribution to the guitar heavy, eight-minute-long “Cinderella.” The
track risked being long-winded, but avoids the misstep through shifting into a piano ballad for a somewhat off-key Miller. The Divine Feminine’s funk sound is done almost as well as work from popular band The Social Experiment, thanks to pianist Robert Glasper and legendary bass player Thundercat. The electro entwined alt R&B, allows for the album to flourish, thanks to a few cues from Kaytranada. No feature outshines another, yet Kendrick Lamar’s influence on the album’s closing track is distinct. It includes slow drum-heavy sounds, that sound like a stripped down version of Kendrick’s “Alright” from To Pimp a Butterfly. But do not forget, Miller remains the center of attention throughout. The team of features provides the staircase into Miller’s musical adventure. The theme of the album is human connection, and focuses on the idea that the essence of love is experienced in partnership. This impressionable theme provides a backbone for the LP, allowing it to become relatable and enjoyably upbeat music. The album is good, but not amazing. Mac Miller does not revolutionize the use of funk in rap or deliver lyrics that turn heads. But for what it’s worth, the album speaks for Mac Miller’s ability as an artist. Songs like “Dang!” and “My Favorite Part” could prove to have longevity, but the same cannot be said for the work as a whole. Looking back on Miller’s career, fans will consider The Divine Feminine as evidence of his artistry, but by no means as the masterpiece of his discography. The Divine Feminine is worth listening to. Listeners looking for a concise and well put together work will be pleased, while existing fans may find a lack of substance and replayability.

No more nonsense: putting an end to ghosting and games
Anna Welch sex columnist For my first article of the 2016 academic year, I want to talk about something close to home for me, both literally and figuratively. Typically, I try very hard to keep my personal life separate from this column, but this semester I am blessed to live in a house with seven boss-ass bitches (BABs), and even in these first few weeks I’ve noticed patterns in each of our romantic and sexual lives I find impossible to ignore. Although I’m writing from my own perspective as a straight girl, I want to acknowledge that these frustrations can happen to anyone of any gender and sexuality. We drive ourselves mad nearly everyday trying to communicate with people we want to date, smooch, hang out with, etc. Watching myself and the ladies I love torture ourselves in an effort to come off in the right way to the ones we’re interested in has me fed up. I have a hypothesis about the cause of all this frustration, which is that gender is a goddamn trap. For many of us the term “gender roles” probably makes us think 1950s, where women cook and men go to work, but
when we think about gender roles in our daily lives at UW-Madison, we might think of it more as boys making the first move and girls always looking for serious relationships. Even though we’ve come a long way, I personally believe that, in some aspects, we are just as trapped by gender roles and expectations now as we were in the days of poodle skirts and sock hops. A while ago I made a commitment to myself to start “making the first move” and “stop playing games” when it came to my love life. I started trying to actively reach out, show my interest, make plans and tell people what I wanted or how I was feeling. Each time I did this it went the same way. Everything would start out great. I would feel really confident and like that I was taking control of my life—eliminating genderbased power dynamics, even. But then, I would get ghosted (when two people hang out and one person thinks everything is going great and then the other suddenly cuts off all communication), or things would end in an embarrassing or awkward way. I was left feeling unresolved and confused. What did I do wrong? How could I have been more clear? Does he just assume I want to date him, even though I’m actually only looking to hang out and eat Toppers
and make out? This happened enough times where eventually I thought to myself, “Screw it. I can’t have my heart stomped on by some dude’s elephant feet one more time. I’m just going to wait for someone to show their interest in me so I don’t get hurt—thus reinforcing the very gender stereotypes I was so adamant about breaking. So why is this happening to me, the girls I live with and so many others? Why do we continuously meet great people and have a fantastic time and then end up disappointed? I don’t think it’s because the people we’re seeking are evil, heartless cretins who have no respect for our time and/or feelings (although I’m lying if I say it doesn’t sometimes feel this way). I think it’s because we are all blindly and obediently following the unwritten rules of what it means to be single, 20ish-year-old “girls” and “boys.” Every text or snapchat we send, everything we wear, say and do is controlled by our urge to be perceived in a certain way by those around us—especially the ones we’re trying to start romantic or sexual relationships with. Every time I meet someone I’m interested in, I find myself asking the same questions: “But if I text or snapchat him too much, will he think I’m highmaintenance?” “If I ask for what

I want between the sheets will he think I’m demanding and get turned off ?” “If I message him to tell him I had a good time and I’d like to see him again is he going to think I want to date him and get weirded out?” “Or worse, what if he doesn’t respond at all?” If you find yourself asking these questions, tell yourself, “That’s ridiculous, do it anyway. Get what you want and deserve.” Even though it takes a lot of courage to push back—even ever so gently—against how we’ve been taught to act, think and behave based on gender. I’m not saying that boys who are interested in girls don’t have these same thoughts and fears, but I am saying that girls and women are more often cast as “crazy” or “nagging” based on their romantic interactions. As one of the BABs put it, in general, “Men are not afraid of being crazy or feeling too much.” We are trapped by gender roles, and hypermasculinity in particular. It dictates how we treat other people and how we expect to be treated. It controls whose actions and bodies are sexualized. It makes men and boys act in ways they don’t really want to. It makes women and girls expect to be treated and looked at in a way they’ve been told is desireable, and it makes people who don’t fit in the boxes of “men and boys, women and girls” feel like they are wrong because they’re “different.” Complaining that we’re trapped is one thing, but what can we actually do about it? One answer is: “Who the hell knows! Let’s just keep mindlessly repeating the same maddening cycle and hope that one day we either find our ‘soul mate,’ or find the sweet release of death!” A different, more hopeful answer is to stop living as though we are our body parts or our genders. We have to stop making choices of what to do and say with our bodies based on what we have learned is acceptable to do and say for “boys or girls”. Turning the second answer into real action means being as direct and clear as we possibly can be, even if we feel 1,000 percent sure it will terrify or scare away the person we’re crushin’ on. And ladies, I’m looking at you when I say being
direct is not the same thing as being demanding, and anyone who says/acts like it is doesn’t deserve an ounce of your precious being. Part of being direct means that when it’s been three days and there has been nothing but silence from a love interest the right move is not to text them something vague and random. I know many of us have probably done this in the hopes they respond with, “Wow! You are so funny and I now realize I was an idiot for not texting you for three days. Let’s hang out right now,” but that response will never ever happen. Instead, a better thing to do is to send something like, “Hi. I really enjoy spending time with you and I would like to start doing that more. Is that something you would like too, or are you not interested?” This may seem a little blunt, but here is the hard part: It is imperative to resist the urge to add a disclaimer to this question. Avoid adding something like “Ha sorry, I know that’s a tough question,” or “I hope I’m not coming on too strongly…” We must never apologize for asking for the information we deserve. Being unapologetically direct means the respondent’s only options are either to not respond at all and show their true colors immediately, giving you the answer you needed, or to respond directly saying how they are feeling and what they want. Another caveat to being direct means possibly getting ‘ghosted,’ or getting a response we weren’t looking for. While this can be scary to think about, getting a complete answer will hurt much less in the end. To recap: Finding oneself in a sickening cycle of falling for someone. Getting let down has nothing to do with our quality as people, and everything to do with people acting how they think they should based on their gender. No matter who we are and what we’re looking for, we should feel confident asking for clarification. Love is not a game and we are not players. Remember kids: pizza rolls not gender roles!

Many of the dining halls at UW-Madison lack areas to place recyclables and compostables in close proximity to tray returns.
University needs to reconsider recycling SAMANTHA WILCOX opinion columnist
E
veryone knows that recycling is important. It helps to save resources and is an easy way to lower our carbon footprint as individuals. But does everyone do it? Not everyone is willing to put in the thought or time when it comes to the small intricacies of actually being green. Separating plastics, paper and cardboard can sometimes be overwhelming. People choose to avoid the confusion by just throwing their plastic bottles away. When push comes to shove, sometimes laziness takes over and this is not helping us be green. While laziness is not a valid excuse for making a decision you know is wrong, maybe we should take it as a cue that we need to revise how we recycle, compost and send things to the landfill. I spent my entire life in San Francisco, a city where a goal to have zero-waste by 2020 is very prominent. Recycling is a no-hassle, non-confusing system where all plastics, glass and paper products go into one bin. Mall food courts and other public places have compost bins that people actually know how to use. In San Francisco, it is so easy to make a green choice. This is not the case in Madison.
Currently, [University Dining] does not compost all compostable products that come into their dishrooms, such as meat and dairy.
University Housing, its dining halls and other academic branches at UW-Madison should revise their trash and recycling system to be more streamlined. This is something that would encourage students to be more green by default. In the front of the dining rooms, there are no easy ways for students to recycle or compost their food. If there was a single bin for each piece of trash, recycling and compost, then that would take out the guesswork of what
goes where, and also reduce the intimidation that some students may feel while trying to make a smarter choice. Also, the dining halls should revise their own behind-thescenes policies to be more green themselves. Currently, they do not compost all compostable products that come into their dishrooms, such as meat and dairy. However, if they were to do so, they would be removing thousands of students’ waste from landfills and put us in a position to have a more successful and sustainable way of dealing with waste. By offering students an easy and quick way to be green, many will jump at it and make a large impact in the process. Similarly, if University Housing made composting a more acceptable and accessible option for its residents, students could throw away their food from their rooms in a place where it wouldn’t immediately be funneled to a landfill. Additionally, if the university provided more intensive ecological education, students wouldn’t be so confused by the process of recycling or composting. As I said previously, it is not with bad intentions that students choose to throw away things that should be recycled. Most of the time it is because they do not know better. If students were to learn the rules of recycling and composting, then it would soon become second nature to them and our campus would become more green. If people are properly educated and the system is easier to understand and implement, there will be no more option for laziness and confusion to take over instead of making the proper, ecological choice. Our campus should take a few pointers from other more progressive and effective recycling and waste reduction methods in cities around the country, or even the world. Samantha is a sophomore majoring in journalism and communication arts. How do you feel about UW-Madison’s recycling processes? What do you think the university needs to do in order to become more environmentally friendly? Please send all comments, questions and concerns to opinion@dailycardinal.com.
apitalism doesn’t seem to be valued as strongly as it once was. We hear that businesses should exist to benefit society. Instead of embracing capitalism, we should apparently support a toned-down “conscious capitalism.” Students are encouraged to start careers as social entrepreneurs, where their work not only provides them a way of life, but also directly helps others. While I fully support any business or individual with altruistic goals and motives, I also recognize the value of capitalism, making a profit and working strictly to maximize your income. As a business student, I am frequently exposed to the business school and university’s apparent values of conscious capitalism and social entrepreneurship. In one of my classes, students were encouraged to develop a business idea which included a “giving component.” An example of such a business is TOMS shoes, which donates a pair of shoes to people in need around the world for every pair of shoes purchased. They are definitely a great company, but they are still for-profit. This means that they charge the customer for more than it costs to produce two pairs of shoes. A shoe company without a giving component to their business would be able to charge the customer for slightly more than the cost of producing one shoe, and the customer would have money left over to donate to international aid efforts.
I won’t be doing anything charitable through work, and I don’t have a problem with that.
Having a “giving component“ in your for-profit business has
no advantage. Development in third-wold countires is not a result of these business models. There are many other factors that go into development, and these cannot all be created by the “giving components” of these major company. Businesses that focus solely on profit maximization are great as well. They function within our capitalistic economic system, which raises standards of living and creates better and more efficient products and services. A business or individual is doing nothing wrong by being profitable instead of charitable.
Profit and income maximization promotes economic growth and societal prosperity just as much as anything else.
Just as it is completely acceptable and societally beneficial for a business to focus exclusively on profit, it is also acceptable for a person’s career to center around maximizing income. Society tends to somewhat stigmatize working just for money. We hear that people should want to work in a way that helps the world. While I believe any job “helps the world” in some way, most people probably think of work that is generous or altruistic, not work like that of Martin Shkreli—the pharmaceutical executive who focuses on raising drug prices to generate extra revenue to be directed toward research. Very few of us will be as infamous as Shkreli or face such an ethical career dilemma, but it is still worth thinking about our future careers. I am majoring in finance and math in hopes of working in the financial industry, perhaps as a quantitative analyst or hedge fund analyst. Jobs like these and jobs in the financial industry in general are not well-regarded.
At worst, many people think of Wall Street as a collection of greedy companies and heartless employees dedicated to destroying the economy for personal gain. At best, the industry is seen as a bunch of people who make money for themselves and their clients without caring about conscious capitalism, social entrepreneurship or having a “giving component” to their business. This description is accurate. All I will be doing is making money for me, my company and my clients if I have them. I won’t be doing anything charitable through work, and I don’t have a problem with that. Like most people, I have altruistic goals, but I will work to accomplish those outside of work. Achieving financial independence by focusing exclusively on maximizing income could also help me get to a point where I can work on whatever goal I have. Separating work from charity and giving is just as effective as integrating the two. Individuals and businesses should feel free to integrate charity and giving into their work, but those who are focused solely on making a profit or maximizing their income shouldn’t feel bad either. We should be more willing to admit that we are working to maximize profit and income—this is exactly what I will be doing. I know that I can be charitable and work on altruistic goals outside of my job, and I know that companies make profit by serving their customers and generating value. We don’t have to tone down capitalism to benefit the world, nor do we have to become social entrepreneurs. Profit and income maximization promotes economic growth and societal prosperity just as much as anything else. Tim is majoring in finance and math. Do you think it is important to give back through your profession? Is working just for the money acceptable? Let us know at opinion@dailycardinal.com.

Haggerty makes history, UW wins twice By David Gwidt The Daily Cardinal
Hitting the road to play a pair of top-tier teams, No. 6 Wisconsin (8-1) finished out its nonconference schedule with two wins, beating No. 16 Texas A&M (6-5) and No. 2 Texas (8-2) in what proved to be a landmark weekend in The Lone Star State. Freshman outside hitter Molly Haggerty has shown much promise in her first handful of matches as a member of the Badgers, emerging as a key ingredient to Wisconsin’s strong start in 2016. The high hopes already thrust upon the fledgling freshman will likely continue to rise after her record-setting weekend in Texas. Powering her team to victory, Haggerty carved out her spot in Badger history by racking up 27 kills on the way to a 25-16, 25-17, 25-22 sweep of No. 16 Texas A&M in College Station Friday evening. With her sensational performance, Haggerty now
holds the school record for kills in a three-set match, shattering the previous high-mark of 19 achieved by Elise Walch in 2010. The milestone also ties the record for kills tallied in a single match. Against the Aggies, Haggerty’s impact was both immediate and unwavering. The Badgers opened the match by scoring five straight points, three of which came off of Haggerty kills. She would increase that number to nine before the first set came to an end, as the Badgers took a 1-0 lead. In the second, the defense was able to feed off Haggerty’s energy and enthusiasm, as Wisconsin came up with three consecutive blocks and sealed its second consecutive set. The freshman carried her success over to the final set, adding three more kills to end the day and complete the sweep. Then, two days later, Haggerty would once again find herself in the leading role for the Badgers as
they took on No. 2 Texas. In a much closer match, Wisconsin outlasted the vaunted Longhorns 3-2 and picked up a signature win over a national powerhouse. Turning in a team-high 20 kills and four aces, Haggerty was a deciding factor in the come-from-behind victory. After dropping the first two sets of the contest, Wisconsin successfully fended off elimination in the third, edging UT late in the third by scoring the last three points of the set en route to a tight 25-23 victory. Slogging ahead, the Badgers caught fire in the fourth set, going on a crucial 6-0 run that would swing the momentum and set the tone for the remainder of the afternoon. In the fifth and final set, UW snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, batting back from a one-point deficit which bedeviled the Badgers the majority of the set, to squeak by 20-18 and complete the upset. Tionna Williams also rose to

Wisconsin picked up two wins over ranked opponents in Texas. the occasion Sunday afternoon, contributing 11 kills along with a match-high eight blocks. As a team, Wisconsin can look back on the events of this weekend with great pride. Not only did they witness history, but they also proved themselves capable of defeating quality teams
on the road, something that may strengthen their case for a high seed in the NCAA tournament. Wisconsin will begin the Big Ten season next weekend as they return to the UW Field House. They will host No. 18 Ohio State at 7 p.m. Friday, before proceeding to play Maryland Saturday at 7 p.m.

Mondays with Rasty: Hornibrook deserves starting spot Zach rastall make it rasty There’s nothing that gets the blood pumping quite like a fullfledged quarterback controversy as your team is about to enter the gauntlet in conference play. But after an extremely ugly win over Georgia State, that’s exactly where the Badgers find themselves as they prepare to travel to East Lansing to take on No. 8 Michigan State in their Big Ten opener. While Wisconsin did move to 3-0 for the first time in five years Saturday afternoon, the Badgers did come dangerously close to seeing their 37-game home winning streak against nonconference opponents snapped—a 23-5 loss to UNLV in 2003 is the last time it happened—by the Panthers.
First, let’s start with the bad in Wisconsin’s win over Georgia State, which centers around Bart Houston. Houston, the starting quarterback, was benched in the third quarter in favor of redshirt freshman Alex Hornibrook. Regardless of your feelings toward Houston as a signal caller and whether or not you thought Hornibrook should have been under center all along, it’s never a good sign when your team’s starting quarterback gets the hook in the middle of the game. It’s an even worse sign when that game is against an 0-2 opponent from the Sun Belt. But the UW offense was almost completely stagnant Saturday, and head coach Paul Chryst wisely realized that he needed to do something to try and give it a jumpstart. As he has in each of his starts this season, Houston was OK, but rather unspectacular against Georgia State. He completed 10 of his 18 passes on the day for 91 yards, but still didn’t look all
that comfortable in the pocket and made a few questionable passes. Wisconsin’s sputtering offense, partly due to Houston’s poor play, clung to just a three-point lead and Chryst realized something had to change. Out trotted Hornibrook to take his place under center, and it didn’t take long for him to have an impact. The Badgers immediately marched down the field on a six-play, 69-yard touchdown drive. That drive included a huge 29-yard pass from Hornibrook to Jazz Peavy on third and 10 to keep it alive. Georgia State responded with a touchdown of its own and then picked off Hornibrook on the ensuing possession—though it was George Rushing’s fault, not his—leading to a go-ahead touchdown. Trailing by four, Hornibrook and the offense calmly responded after a long kickoff return from Dare Ogunbowale. A goal-line touchdown pass from Hornibrook
to Penniston on third down capped off an eight-play, 59-yard drive. The freshman-to-freshman connection gave Wisconsin the lead back, the defense forced consecutive threeand-outs and the Badgers avoided total embarrassment. It should be noted that starting running back Corey Clement sat out as a precautionary measure following his left ankle injury against Akron. In addition, backup running back Taiwan Deal (right leg) and tight end Troy Fumagalli (right leg) both were knocked out of the game early. That undoubtedly played some role in Wisconsin’s lackluster showing, but it would be foolish to chalk up the performance entirely to injuries. The offense still squandered excellent field position time and time again, settling for field goals and sometimes no points at all. And that’s precisely why Chryst should be going with Hornibrook as his starter next week.
The offense looked revitalized with Hornibrook under center and he looked poised, hitting windows when they opened up in ways that we haven’t seen Houston do so far this season. There’s surely a part of Chryst that wants to reward Houston for his loyalty to the program in waiting five years for his opportunity. But with the meat grinder that awaits the Badgers, he needs to have his best quarterback out on the field if they’re going to get through this stretch and still have a shot at contending in the Big Ten West. Given what we’ve seen from the two men that have taken snaps under center this year for Wisconsin, it’s pretty clear that guy is Alex Hornibrook. Do you think Wisconsin should start Hornibrook? Can he handle the pressure of the Big Ten stage? Would it be better to go with the veteran in East Lansing? Let Zach know at sports@dailycardinal.com.

Camryn Biegalski bright spot as Badgers tie, lose in first Big Ten weekend By Kelly Ward The Daily Cardinal
The Wisconsin Badgers (3-3-4, 0-1-1 Big Ten) opened Big Ten play in Madison with a 1-1 tie against No. 19 Ohio State (6-2-1, 0-0-1 Big Ten) Friday and a 1-0 loss to No. 16 Penn State (5-2-2, 1-0-1 Big Ten) Sunday afternoon. Friday, the Badgers faced off against the Buckeyes, and did not score at all during the first half. After falling behind 1-0, seniors Micaela Powers and Rose Lavelle scored back-to-back goals to start the second half. Powers notched her third goal of the season, which leads the
team, and also assisted on Lavelle’s first goal of the campaign. “It was definitely a relief,” Lavelle said of the goal. “It has kind of been a weight on my shoulders. Hopefully more will come the rest of the season.” Ohio State’s Nikki Walts tied the game in the 85th minute, and neither team was able to capitalize on any chances in the two periods of overtime that followed. Sunday’s game was a defensive battle between the Badgers and the Nittany Lions, with Camryn Biegalski leading the way for the Badgers defensively. Head coach Paula Wilkins
Brandon moe/the daily cardinal
Biegalski impressed this weekend. praised the freshman defender’s effort in suffocating Penn State’s offense and limiting them to seven shots and five shots on goal.
“What [Biegalski] does really well is that she’s able to get up and down the flank and be really dangerous in that way,” Wilkins said. “To be honest, I think she’s going to get better and better and better with time and I think she might be one of the best backs in the history I’ve had here. I’m just excited she brings that offensive element—that really helps us moving forward.” In the 72nd minute, Penn State’s Marissa Sheva nailed a header into the top corner of the net, putting the Nittany Lions into the lead, 1-0. Ten minutes later, the Badgers earned a penalty kick, but the shot by Lavelle hit the crossbar
and the resulting rebound shot by Biegalski went wide. Wisconsin was unable to find the equalizer as the clock wound down, leaving the final score at 1-0 in favor of Penn State. Redshirt junior goaltender Caitlyn Clem finished the game with four saves, while Penn State’s Amanda Dennis had three. Powers led the Badgers in shots with four. “It was a rough loss today and I think we outplayed them most of the game, but we’re going to get at it this week and hopefully be ready to go next weekend,” Biegalski said. “From here out, it’s grind time. I think we can win from here on out.”
