STUDENT PROFILE

Fourth year of Fifth Quarter: UW drum major marches on

By Adelina Yankova THE DAILY CARDINAL

Saturday saw a record number of rushing yards for Wisconsin, but running onto the field before anyone else and guiding a charge of more than 300 student musicians was Eva Glisczinski, UW-Madison’s marching band drum major. Drawing on 15 years of baton twirling experience, the UW senior and Milwaukee native has been in the band since her freshman year and now serves as the group’s leader and frontwoman. Glisczinski, who is originally a trumpet player, said the idea of becoming drum major had always lingered in the back

of her mind, but she did not seriously consider auditioning until this summer. Once she decided to try out for the position, Glisczinski competed against six other band members for two hours, marching, performing a selfchoreographed routine and answering interview questions before being named this year’s drum major. “The marching was difficult, it was hot out, I got pretty tired,” Glisczinski said. “I just pushed through and I was pretty surprised that I made it.” Glisczinski and her fellow band members devote approximately seven hours a week to marching band practice, with

extra rehearsal time added to football gameday weeks. The workload isn’t easy and requires careful time management, but these are hurdles Glisczinski said she is willing to overcome to maintain the marching band’s legacy of quality performance. “We want to make everyone who was in it before proud and to keep working hard and put our all into it because it means so much to so many people,” she said. “It’s not just the students who are in it, but also the fans and the alumni.” Glisczinski noted the band has a long history and the

The University of Wisconsin Police Department issued 36 citations during Saturday’s game, with 20 of them going to students.

UW gameday student ejections remain steady The UW-Madison Police Department saw a slight increase in the number of ejections and citations issued during Saturday’s football game against Bowling Green, according to a UWPD report. Though the number of citations rose to 36 from last gameday’s 32, fewer UW students were cited overall, with a total of 20 student citations reported. Ejections for Saturday’s game rose to 61 from the previous home game’s 47; however, the number of UW students ejected remained constant at 34.

Two individuals were transported to detox, with the highest preliminary breath sample reported at .321 blood alcohol content, a reading high enough to cause death in certain situations. UWPD reported underage drinking as the most common cause for ejections and citations with 33 incidents. Other reasons for ejection were throwing objects, possession of alcohol and seating issues in the student section. Saturday’s gameday also resulted in 35 first aid calls and four ambulance transportations.

UW-Milwaukee fraternity faces date-rape drug use allegations

The UW-Milwaukee chapter of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity came under fire Friday after police searched the house for evidence of members using date-rape drugs on female partygoers, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Milwaukee police were dispatched to Sandburg Residence Hall on the UW-Milwaukee campus three times between midnight and 1:33 a.m. Saturday morning to assist severely intoxicated women, all of whom had a red “X” on their hands. After further investigation, police discovered all had attended a party at

the fraternity’s house, and the women with the red “X’s” were given special drinks, which are suspected of containing date-rape drugs. One of the women told police some of the fraternity members got angry when she tried to pour herself a drink, a sign she said pointed to the use of date-rape drugs. Additionally, some of the women remembered their drinks looking a bit cloudy. UW-Milwaukee suspended the fraternity’s charter following the allegations, and Milwaukee police are continuing to investigate the claims.

Young woman shot in hand with rifle while preventing 20-year-old man’s suicide attempt A 20-year-old female Madison resident was shot when trying to prevent a suicide early Saturday morning at a residence on University Avenue, according to a Madison Police Department

incident report. A caller reported hearing a female crying, followed by a gunshot as well as arguing and screaming, according to the report. Madison resident Jeffrey

C. Zhou, 20, was intoxicated in Allen House Apartments when he armed himself with a rifle and sat down on the floor, threatening to kill himself, according to the report. The victim and Zhou then

struggled over the gun. She placed her right hand over the muzzle during the struggle, MPD Lt. Eric Tripke wrote in the report. Zhou then shot the weapon into her hand. The victim’s wound is not

life threatening, and she is being treated at a local hospital. Police charged Zhou with second degree recklessly endangering safety and placed him in the Dane County Jail, according to the report.

Positions matter in any sexual encounter, and deep throating is no different. Because our mouths are at a 90 degree angle to our throats when our heads are upright, laying down on our backs on a couch or bed can create a nice straight alley from mouth to throat which will allow a peen to penetrate most easily. While mobility may be compromised for the sucker, the suckee will be able to thrust to their heart’s content! With consent! Please. Two more words on deep throating: Flavored lube. (Now, for more words!) Sometimes people get cottonmouth when they’re nervous or tipsy! Make sure to lube up that dee for optimal pharynx penetration.

How do you deep throat a penis?

Talk about squirting. Please.

Alex tucker sex columnist

As one of my best friends found out, not drunk. Some rando asked her, “Can you deep throat?” and she promptly threw up on his dick. Always a trooper, that girl finished up before she went to sleep. What a doll. Deep throating, or physically swallowing something phallic into one’s throat, is like mixing business and pleasure. Business because it takes hard work. Pleasure because a penis is entering a throat. Ya see? The most important thing to remember when trying to shove anything connected to a body into our throats is relaxation. If we can ensure a relaxed path for the penis, it’ll slide down more easily. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. (Find the hidden pun![?])

Squirting, or female ejaculation, is this really cool thing that about 20 percent of people with vaginas can do. Squirting is related to the G-spot, G for Grrrrrrrreat! Or Grafenberg, the discoverer of the legendary pleasure center! Go, go Grafenberg. The G-spot is this super cool area of erectile tissue packed with nerve endings located one to two inches inside a vagina. If an aroused person with a vagina is lying on their back, we can find their G-spot by inserting two lubey fingers and making a “come hither” motion. Be warned, scurvy dogs, we won’t be able to find the G-spot if our partner isn’t properly in “da mood.” It’d be like jacking off a floppy dick! So use lots of foreplay and lots of lube (lol)

On the first day, they huddle together for a picture, a real Kodiak moment. 1903—Italo Marchiony is granted a patent for the ice cream cone.

before trying to elicit a G-spot orgasm from our matey. Once we’ve found the G-spot, which feels like a ridgey, rubbery surface, we can use our fingers, dick, strap-on or veggie of choice to gyrate on our partner’s G. Once the G-spot is raring to go, a sweat-like substance will accumulate in the pores of the vagina and, if our partner is a “squirter,” can fly across the room! Awesome, great job.

Two more words on deep throating: Flavored lube ... Make sure to lube up that dee for optimal pharynx penetration. How do I lose my virginity?

Politics: Ah, “losing” one’s “virginity.” Most often defined as first-time penetrative intercourse, society puts a lot of pressure on this often insignificant moment in a person’s life. But don’t fear, readers! Losing one’s v-card is nothing to sweat, especially with these simple tips for making the experience the best it can be. Partner: Who we have sex with is always important, if it’s important to us! Being comfortable can do great things for the genitals; it allows us to relax and enjoy our time experiencing this new thing. As Eric Wareheim says, “you’re massive, and you’ve got a black hole. All of those elements I want to explore like you would a new date.” We want to be excited about exploring our new partner in a new way.

However, follow your heart! Different people have different comfort levels, and if we feel comfortable having sex for the first time with someone we’re less familiar with, more power to us. Position: Sex Out Loud recommends the receptive partner be on top for first-time penetration, to allow for maximum control. Due to natural stretching and the possible breakage of a thin membrane in vaginal penetration, it can be easier to control the speed and depth when we’re on top. Preparation: LUBE! When we get nervous or excited, the blood tends to rush away from our pussies and penises. To circumvent that potential fuck up, we can warm up with a little foreplay whereby we lube ourselves and our partners up. After all, the wetter the sex the better the sex!

What the goodness is grapefruiting?

My first reaction is to find out for yourself on YouTube. com. If you’d rather hear it from me, “grapefruiting” is giving head to a penis while using a warm grapefruit to work the shaft. Funny noises may ensue. Although popular among viewers, the grapefruiting video requires we “surprise” the person we’re sucking off with citrus. As we all know, we can’t surprise people sexually! That’s non-consensual. However, if our partner is down to have some fruity fellatio, we should just make sure we aren’t engaging in penetrative intercourse afterward. The sugars in citrus can cause infection in vaginas and anuses, better to leave them to our mouths and phalluses. Want better columns?

UW-Madison senior lobbies US Sen. Baldwin’s office for educational transparency

EMILY BUCK/CARDINAL FILE PHOTO

UW-Madison senior Hannah Kinsella says it is important for universities to let students have a say in higher education decisions.

UW-Madison student Hannah Kinsella lobbied U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s, D-Wis., office Sept. 19, pushing for greater transparency on how schools and students enter into agreements with financial institutions. Kinsella is chair of the Great Lakes Region of the United States Student Association, the country’s oldest and largest national student-led organization. USSA was established to amplify students’ voices at the local, state and national levels by mobilizing grassroots power on student affairs, according to the group’s website. The USSA lobbied members of Congress, including Baldwin, about the Higher Education Act, which was due

to be reauthorized in 2013. The Higher Education Act strengthens educational resources in higher education and provides financial assistance to students. Students can incur over $500 in campus banking fees each year, adding up to thousands of dollars across their college experience, as reported by Consumer Reports in August. Baldwin is on the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Labor, and Pensions and has said that she is a strong advocate for college affordability and in the past week has introduced two bills to address student debt. “As leaders, it is our responsibility to stand up for students and to demand transparency from financial institutions and our universities,” Kinsella said in a statement. “Through

today’s advocacy, we hope that members of Congress and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan hears the student voice loud and clear—our generation’s interests will not be sold to the highest bidder.” Some colleges argue contracts with financial institutions are beneficial, but these costly fees have been overlooked, Kinsella said in the statement. Last fall, the Associated Students of Madison terminated its membership with the USSA because of partisan issues, including abortion and military involvement. The USSA requested, and Student Council approved, a reassessment of its membership if the organization disassociated itself from the previous issues. —Charlotte Laracy

Dane County clerk rejects government-sponsored ballot for fall elections Dane County officials rejected the new, government-recommended ballot for November’s election in favor of its traditional counterpart, Dane County Clerk Scott McDonell said Friday. The G ove r n m e n t Accountability Board, a state agency responsible for administering statewide elections, recommended the new bal-

lot be used for the elections in November. McDonell said the changes don’t affect the election process in Wisconsin but could distract voters. Previous state ballots have been straightforward, featuring a strict black and white organization and an arrow for the voter to complete. The GAB’s new ballot has shaded sub-

headings and candidates that are selected through bubbles, akin to a standardized test. New ballots, despite being in the political sphere, rarely have any manipulative undertones and are merely the result of voter research, with changes always being minor in nature, according to McDonell. In the past, such changes have been as simple as the transition from the

UWPD investigates toilet, vehicle arson The UW-Madison Police Department and the Madison Fire Department extinguished a vehicle on fire early Saturday morning, according to a UWPD crime alert. UW police answered a call around 4:00 a.m. reporting a flaming vehicle in parking lot 51, near North Mills Street. The UWPD established the fire had reached the vehicle from a nearby previously lit portable toilet. The flames spread to another portable toilet, causing the

destruction of both toilets. The flames also affected a UW fleet vehicle, resulting in heat damage. The UWPD received a report of a second fire around the same time, which led them to investigate whether there is a connection between the two events. Thus far, no relationship has been established. This is an ongoing investigation and the UWPD is actively looking for more information about the incidents.

and the back-facing hats signaled to kids looking out the windows that the team had won. The drum major pointed to “On Wisconsin,” a song the band played approximately 50 times before, during and after Saturday’s game, as her favorite, though she expressed appreciation for all of

any changes,” McDonell said. McDonell said the use of shading on the new ballots is confusing to voters. He added the absentee ballots have already been sent out within Dane County, requiring unnecessary reprints for a functional system which would only encourage unnecessary spending. —Jen Wagman the band’s tunes and cheers. “I especially love the Fifth Quarter because, win or lose, it’s always a celebration and shows that, at the end of the day, it’s just a game and we can always have fun,” Glisczinski said. “It takes a lot of work, but we love what we do.”

Rise in diverse Wisconsin agriculture increases economic activity, jobs Wisconsin farms and agricultural businesses were busy at work cultivating $88.3 billion in economic activity and more than 413,500 jobs in 2012. The study comes from a report published by the University of Wisconsin-Extension and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Results from the study boast that agriculture is responsible for 11.9 percent of the state’s overall employment and has generated $29 billion and an additional 59,509 jobs in 2012 than in 2007. Steven Deller, a professor

in Madison’s Agricultural and Applied Economics Department and a community development specialist in the UW-Extension program, noted in a statement that while Badgers are proud to hail from the “Dairy State,” it is “important to look beyond dairy.” “Agriculture is diverse and is likely becoming more diversified across the state,” Deller said in the release. “Other parts of Wisconsin agriculture such as the beef industry, vegetables, breweries and more specialized activities like hops, grapes and wineries are growing in size and importance.”

arts Uninspiring Spoon show signals the downfall of the live indie rock show l

Monday, September 22, 2014

By Cameron Graff THE DAILY CARDINAL

In 1997 The Dismemberment Plan wrote a song titled “Do the Standing Still” for their sophomore album The Dismemberment Plan is Terrified. Aside from being a showcase for Travis Morrison’s goofier proclivities, it also works as a sad monument for the gradual, sloping decline of indie rock. By that point the scene was already far removed from the heyday sparkle of Mission of Burma, Dinosaur Jr., etc that brought such fervor and energy throughout the ’80s and ’90s. It speaks of the always caustic, always hyperactive D-Plan playing to an unenthused crowd who refused to engage with the band. Sure, the kids were “having a ball,” but Morrison was perturbed, and rightfully so. The scene had already given way to boredom, cavernous “cooler than thou” posturing and vapidness. Now, seventeen years later, the message feels like prophecy; the indie rock scene has never felt more mined out. The first time I saw Spoon was shortly after Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga dropped; a record so invasive, so wriggling with subversive pop rock delights that my own mom—a woman who hadn’t bought a record since probably the late ‘80s—insisted on buying a copy after hearing “Don’t Make Me a Target” on “Chuck.” I didn’t go to the show with tremendous expectations. The only Spoon song that really got me excited back then was “The Beast and Dragon, Adored” with its bizarre, Jeff Tweedy-esque guitar squall in between chugging piano lines.

I got that, but not much else. A little disenchanted and disappointed, I left about halfway through the set. A friend of mine still claims, talking to his art school friends, that that particular show was what proved to him that indie rock had nothing new to say. I wouldn’t go that far, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. It was Morrison’s song come to life—a bunch of bored-looking kids in knit hats checking their phones while the band chipped away on stage to silence. I’ve since come to truly love Spoon and consider them maybe the antithesis to Morrison’s point; if anything proves that indie rock still has a place in discussion, it’s Gimme Fiction or Kill the Moonlight or even They Want My Soul. But what’s all this got to do with the Spoon show that went down recently in Madison? I’m going to be honest; I don’t generally understand the point of writing reviews for shows. A concert, like any display of art, is something visceral, to be engaged with in a literal and present way. Reading about something the day afterwards will in no way communicate the flow of emotions in the room or the sheer kinetic energy present. But therein lies the problem—Spoon’s set can in fact be reduced to a series of adjectives that confidently describes the whole thing and none of them are terribly exciting. Competent, capable, even entertaining, sure, but also completely devoid of that unspeakable energy. Not that that’s the band’s fault, necessarily—Britt Daniels still likes to play rockstar on stage even

Indie legends Spoon played Madison’s Orpheum Theater last Thursday, Sept. 18. though he’s clearly something much more clever than your average frontman—but rather more the crowd’s. It was dead, a mass of lifeless bodies, chattering, disengaged. People cheered after every song (and sometimes during, especially for the opening funk of “Don’t You Evah”), but aside from that it was hard to tell that anyone was, well, “having a ball.” Part of the problem is certainly that, as many have claimed before, Spoon are primarily a studio band. Britt Daniel and company are, for all their rock star dispositions, provocateurs whose primary mission has always been the subtle disturbance of the rock n’ roll mythos. Sure, they engage in verse-chorus-verse songwrit-

ing, but dig a little deeper and the sonic mutations become all the more apparent. It’s there in the aforementioned guitar squall of “Beast and Dragon Adored,” the beatboxed percussion on “Stay Don’t Go,” the warped flamenco solo wrapped in “My Little Japanese Cigarette Case’s”—things that all but vanish in their live incarnations. On stage, Spoon go from being some of the most dynamic and interesting folks in the industry to being just another rock band. One with a phenomenal back catalog, mind you, but still nothing to shake the rafters or rattle the heavens. None of this is to say the band was in any way bad. My beloved “Beast and Dragon, Adored” gutted as it was, still

remains a stunning highlight of Spoon’s career, “Do You” is still one of the finest pop songs of the year and “Inside Out,” “I Summon You” and “Black Like Me” are all still remarkable feats of balladry—but by the middle of the show it all began to blend together. Maybe it’s because the band themselves weren’t quite sure how to say what they’ve been trying to say for 20 years now, maybe the scene really did cave in on itself 17 years back, who knows. Either way, if this wasn’t the second Spoon show I left early from it was pretty damn close. So, if you’re looking for one man’s opinion, I defer again back to Travis Morrison’s “Do the Standing Still”—“I’m not mad/ I’m just disappointed.”

Literature adds meaning through our connection to words MAHAM HASAN lit columnist

am the product of endless books.” If I were soulless and had the morals of a scavenging sewer rat, I would take credit for that sentence. Since I am slightly better than that—and by slightly I mean merely one peg above it—I will appreciate it for emanating the spirit with which I have read books my whole life. Earlier today, while in the midst of gloriously wasting time rather than doing my Abnormal Psychology reading, I stumbled upon an essay about books on BuzzFeed that was enough to convince me of the kinship I share with the author. “I am not influenced by books. Instead, I am shaped by them. I am made of flesh and bone and blood. I am also made of books.” Roxanne Gay might have just been penning her regular contribution to BuzzFeed in the form of books that shaped her, but instead she left me

inspired for this week’s column; while also carving in my mind forever the notion of being made of books just as much as we are flesh, bone and blood. That had me thinking though, books and stories that inspire us and continue to do so feature in our minds, lives and conversations quite often. But, have you not also stumbled upon lines, mere sentences that continue to stay with you even when the story fades away? I do not mean the unapologetically overused quotes that you see scrawled upon bland scenes on posters, but the line that could perhaps be the saving grace of an otherwise abysmal story or the one that captures the entirety of it. Even more so, it could be the one single sentence, innocuous to others perhaps, that speaks to you. “Intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life.” The first time I read “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho, I did so because it was the first book assigned for my 11th grade English class. I started reading it a week before class began

because I was a dork that loved reading. I continued reading it because I was a dork that fell in love with all the grand things Coelho wrote and spoke about as if they were the most natural things in the world. Traveling halfway around the world to chase the knowledge of what your dreams are and believing that your soul needs to be in perfect harmony with the universe are laughable concepts. Really, they are. And I will be the cynic to snort at you when you give a grand speech about them, because let’s face it there’s always a grand speech with music welling up at the end—except when I read Coelho talking about them because his words make you believe. His words make me want to believe despite 21 years worth of accumulated cynicism and a killer sense of humor. “And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it,” is the sentence—amongst many—that has stayed with me since that 11th grade English class. I have a page on Goodreads

with a smorgasbord of books that I want to read, trashy books that I have unfortunately (for the innocence that my mind never really had to be perfectly honest) read and random hit and miss ones that I like delving into from time to time. There’s a collection of modern poetry that has been on my to-read list for quite a while, Signposts Vol. 1 by Todd Garlington, that I was looking at again since the blurb employs an excellent combination of adjectives, “An appreciation of irony, however, triumphs over nihilism.” But what I happened to glance over at this time, that I hadn’t before was the little bit about the author. What he chose in just two sentences for the world to know about him was the fact that he knows how to pen lines that can make you think. “I read to experience words as an art form. I write to live with myself and others, at times sympathizing with unwanted truths.” “We are so limited, you have to use the same word for loving Rosaleen as you do for lov-

ing Coke with peanuts. Isn’t that a shame we don’t have many more ways to say it?” When it comes to “The Secret Life of Bees” by Sue Monk Kidd, I believe I might have seen the movie prior to reading the book. Although having enjoyed both—in different ways of course—I still nevertheless hold a particular fondness for the book. It has a charming wisdom to it entwined within a touching story and I remember it to have many little moments that stood out for me. However this sentence that in its profound simplicity manages to hold with it a meaning much deeper and thought provoking, is what stayed with me. And as much as I love Coke with peanuts—because that is a killer combination—it is a shame to encapsulate our fervor for snacks with our emotions for the human beings that make us tingle and feel, in the same four letter word. We are limited, indeed. What’s your favorite line ever written? Let Maham know at mhasan4@wisc.edu.

North Korea hints at societal changes and new openness HAE RIN LEE Opinion columnist

t is undeniably true that North Korea is mostly known for its glooms, which include, but are not limited to, human rights violations, dictatorship, starvation, Stalinist communism and isolationist diplomatic policies. Based on those descriptions, many will assume that North Korea could be considered one of the most tyrannical regimes in modern history, especially today. However, one should not assume that it is still the complete hermit kingdom of years past. According to a recent New York Times article on September 13, North Korea published its own human rights report denying accusations of violating human rights. This is indeed a startling act although North Korea has a consistent history of replying bitterly toward its “enemies” and all those who pose a threat to the North Korean state. However, it has rarely responded with anything beyond military threats or open condemnations broadcasted through its national television until this point. This time, it chose to publish its own five-chapter report on the state of human rights

in the country. Sure, its contents are still hostile to those outside the country, accusing them of using the excuse of human rights violations to intervene in its governmental affairs. However, by openly denying its violations of international human rights laws, it does reveal how conscious North Korea has become of the flow of international affairs. It did participate in the international gatherings occasionally, but never used those opportunities for more than denying criminal accusations from the international community. Therefore, North Korea’s reaction this time can be seen as an unobserved phenomenon.

People are increasingly becoming aware of the outside world and this recent diplomatic move seems to confirm that North Korea is in the midst of a societal transformation.

Ever since Kim Jong-un succeeded the regime following the death of his father Kim Jong-il in 2011, there has been a trend of changes observed in the coun-

try. Unfortunately, some of its alterations still remain unapologetically aggressive toward its opponents and neighbors. The five-chapter report on the state of human rights in the country illustrates a major change of North Korea’s diplomatic approach. Sokeel Park, director of research and strategy at LiNK (Liberty in North Korea), an international non-governmental organization that works with North Korean refugees, stated in a recent CNN report September 15, “Pyongyang knows they are increasingly diplomatically isolated and they are trying to reverse that tide. They see the growing international consensus on the seriousness of their human rights violations as one facet of that diplomatic isolation, so it makes sense to try to counter that explicitly too.” Then the question rises, is North Korea really changing and if so, how does now differ from the past? In my opinion, it definitely is slowly marching away from the ruins of hardcore communism and isolated diplomacy. Firstly, North Korea is no longer as isolated as it is portrayed in our media. North Korean defectors speak of the presence and expansion of black markets that trade foreign media, electronic technology and other goods. In

this year’s PBS Frontline documentary “Secret State of North Korea”, North Korean citizens were seen using illegal phone cards to make calls abroad or purchase illegal South Korean television videos. People are increasingly becoming aware of the outside world and this recent diplomatic move seems to confirm that North Korea is in the midst of a societal transformation. Other than this particular move in diplomatic policy, other examples demonstrate how North Korea’s government is changing its approach toward communicating with the international community. According to the recent South Korean news source Segye Ilbo, the North Korean government officially acknowledged the existence of public executions within its borders, in a response to the question asked by a foreigner on the pro-North Korea website. “The public executions are exceptionally rare, but are carried out only by a fair trial to decide the fate of the unforgivably evil accused.” In this case, North Korea not only acknowledged one of its internationally known brutalities but also revealed its inherent awareness of the lands beyond its borders. Based on the international reports on

Campus alcohol policy remains dated and ineffective HENRY SOLOTAROFF-WEBBER Opinion columnist

recent objective of the administration has been to change the university's culture surrounding alcohol and other substance usage. Basically, the university would like to change the school’s reputation as a huge party school. This initiative was kick-started back in 2011 when the school announced its new policy concerning sanctions for on-campus underage alcohol consumption, changing the punishment for a first-time offense from a slap on the wrist to required alcohol education programs known as Choices About Alcohol and BASICS, that would be paid for by the student. This change was then further implemented in 2013 when new Chancellor Rebecca Blank instituted a new policy restricting the ways in which alcohol could be served on campus. However, despite these as well as numerous other changes, our university was still ranked by Playboy, of all sources, as the number two party school in the nation. This is backed up by the university's consistently high ranking in the Princeton Review in categories such as “Party Schools”, “Lots of Hard Liquor”, “Lots of Beer”, and “Reefer Madness” (the only other schools to appear in all four categories are Syracuse University, and University of California-Santa Barbara). These results starkly contrast the goal of the university as well as beg the question of what exactly has been going wrong. While most fault definitely lies on the student body for refusing to adhere to both university and state laws regarding alcohol, and dis-

missing the program AlcoholEDU as a tedious, meaningless task, it is unfair and inaccurate to rest the blame solely on the shoulders of the students. Some of the blame needs to be directed at the university's, as well as the police’s, failure to create an environment of fun surrounding not consuming alcohol rather than one of fear surrounding consuming it. For example, the 2011 policy enacted by the university that steepened punishments for firsttime offenses has undoubtedly been effective in preventing secondtime offenses. One must wonder whether it is the mandated classes or the fear of paying for them again that is truly making an impact. Another example is the patrols for illicit behavior that resident advisers make every weekend in residence halls. These patrols do not encourage students to stop drinking but instead create paranoia that forces the residents to always have the door closed and essentially hide if they choose to drink. This fear is then perpetuated by police behavior such as tweeting game day stats of how many arrests or detox trips occurred during home games. Those tweets do not make the police appear as a friendly group concerned for our safety but rather as a group of bounty-hunters out to get us. This joint effort by the university and the police to change the culture of UW-Madison has been done by mostly attempting to scare students straight and ultimately has failed as students still choose to consume alcohol in numbers large enough for Playboy to take notice. Clearly, a different approach is in order. Rather than putting so much effort into discouraging students from drinking alcohol, the univer-

sity should work on improving its alternatives to alcohol instead. For example, when I walked with my group of friends to the Night at the Overture, the marquee event for the university's non-substance programming, we could barely get by the scores of our peers walking down State Street telling us the event was a flop and it was not worth going into. If the university had made a better effort that night, then many students probably would have decided to not consume alcohol at all that night. While improving non-substance events such as the Night at the Overture is a big thing that the university should work on, there are many small changes it could make as well to change the party school culture here. For example, at the end of AlcoholEDU, there is a box that students can check if they want to receive information regarding non-substance events. If the school actually wants to change the culture surrounding alcohol, then why not just e-mail this information to students to begin with? Also, by labeling these events as “non-substance” the school is already implying that having alcohol is the norm to begin with, essentially conceding to the very party culture that they are trying to fight. Maybe this is the school’s biggest flaw concerning its approach regarding alcohol or other substance use. The university does not believe that it can actually defeat it, so rather than focusing their effort on eliminating it, they instead focus on restraining it through fear. Do you believe that the university’s approach toward underage alcohol usage is appropriate? Please send all feedback to opinion@dailycardinal.com.

the country, some parts of this statement seem unacceptably false as those documentations shout this country’s lack of democratic court order, but its more responsive attitude to other countries shown in the statement tends to verify the diplomatic metamorphosis occurring today. North Korea is one of the largest and most dangerous hotbeds for international conflict today. In order to prevent the worst outcomes of this painful relationship, it is important for all of us around the world to focus more on this country in varying perspectives. North Korea is breaking out of its shell and attempting to swim in the international relations deep end. Our response and focus on them could lead to future harmony or catastrophe. There is no knowing of what its true motives are regarding the sudden display of openness, however, there will less likely be a tumultuous conflict if we listen to them more closely in the future. Do you think these slight policy changes will create a more open and cooperative North Korea toward the international community?

UW ties St. John’s despite chances the daily cardinal

Playing in their second straight overtime game, the Badgers (1-4-1) played to a 1-1 tie after two overtimes against St John’s (1-3-3). There was yet another large McClimon Complex crowd on hand, including support from “The Colony” of about 100 members standing behind the net cheering on the Badgers. Windy conditions and strong defense led to a tightly contested, low scoring affair. Both teams had opportunities in the early goings of the game, but it was the Red Storm who opened the scoring on a goal in the 41st minute. Following a save on their end, redshirt junior goalkeeper Jordan Stagmiller punted the ball all the way downfield past

every Badger defender to find freshman midfielder Mohamed Awad, who was able to finish it off to give St John’s a 1-0 lead. “It’s a cruel game, one play, one punt over our head, we’re not spaced right and it cost us,” head coach John Trask said. Aside from the one defensive mistake, the Badgers were able to limit the Red Storm offense the rest of the way. “Other than that one play, I thought it was the most complete half we’ve played,” Trask said. Leading the defensive charge, senior defender/midfielder David Caban echoed coach Trask’s statement. “Obviously with the exception of the big ball that they scored, I mean it was probably the best game we played all season in the back.” Coming out of the half, the

Badgers took little time evening up the score, as freshman midfielder Mike Catalano headed in the equalizer in the 48th minute on a cross from freshman forward Tom Barlow, his second of the season. “I don’t know how it got out to Tommy, I just saw him out there and usually he takes it in, and this time he picked his head up so I just took it as a cue to get in the box, and every time you get in the box good things happen,” Catalano said. “The ball came right to my head, so that was the end of it.” The Badgers continued to control the action in the second half, outshooting the Red Storm 10-1, and saw a chance tipped just over the crossbar in the waning minutes of regulation. The Badgers had other chances, including multiple cor-

ner kicks in the closing minutes, but were unable to put one in. “We scored pretty early but it felt like we had some other opportunities,” Trask said. After a scoreless first overtime that saw more strong defensive play, the game went to a second extra period, in which senior defender Tim Parker picked up a red card, forcing St John’s to play a man down for the closing minutes of the game. Ultimately the Badgers were unable to capitalize on the advantage, ending the game in a 1-1 draw. They’ll return to Big Ten play, traveling to take on Maryland (1-3-2) next Friday, and coach Trask is encouraged with what he’s seen going forward. “We keep making strides, I mean, this was better than last week,” Trask said.

Wisconsin dominates Nebraska at home By Lorin Cox the daily cardinal

The Nebraska-Wisconsin rivalry has been dominated by the Cornhuskers in recent years, but head coach Paula Wilkins and the Badgers didn’t let that continue Saturday. Especially after their rough loss last Sunday against Michigan, the team was motivated to get another conference win. “It was a bad taste in our mouths all week, coming off of that Sunday loss,” senior forward Kodee Williams said. “We were really excited to get back out here, and it’s a really great feeling.” That great feeling started just 58 seconds into the game, when Williams scored an unassisted goal on a chip over the goalkeeper. “It really gave us great momentum going into the rest of the game. We really had them on their heels for the better part of the first half,” she added. “It’s been rough without Cara [Walls] up there, and I was really just focusing on Marisa [Kresge] and I having good chemistry this week.” Their chemistry payed off 19 minutes later when redshirt junior forward Kresge beat the keeper off

of a ball Nebraska’s defender mishandled. With a nice, early advantage, the Badgers were able to focus on their defense for the rest of the game. Wilkins spoke highly of her team’s defending after the game. “I’m happy they battled to the very end. They could have easily been relaxed at [the end], but we talked about being all 90 minutes - being desperate in those minutes. Desperate but disciplined.” That defensive mindset led to a fairly chippy game. The Badgers were called for 13 fouls, including nine in the second half. Williams admitted it was difficult at times. “It’s tough. You think you have a home-court advantage here, but we know the Big Ten is physical, and we know that Nebraska is a desperate team,” she said. “They blocked some shots and some crosses, and they really get in there. We had a couple fouls, but I thought we were good. They weren’t dirty fouls. It was a bit chippy, but I thought we kept our cool.” Despite fouls and physical play, Wisconsin was able to top

Kinley McNicoll added to her goal total Saturday, now with six. off their win with a third goal with less than five minutes remaining, when Williams found junior midfielder Kinley McNicoll in the box for the score. Wilkins knows her midfielders, McNicoll and sophomore Rose Lavelle, are key to their offensive success. “One thing that’s great about Rose and Kinley is that they are good at keeping possession in tight areas, and that spreads out other teams so we

can keep it a little bit more,” she explained. With leading scorer senior forward Cara Walls, still “day-to-day” with an ankle injury, Wilkins’ team has done a great job of filling the void. The team is hoping to have Walls back for their trip to Indiana, where they’ll face the Indiana Hoosiers and the Purdue Boilermakers this weekend, looking to rack up more conference victories.

shouldn’t be considered with this guy,” Gordon said. “I’ve heard it. That definitely motivated me to get out there and do what I needed to do.” Gordon wasn’t the only runner who had a fantastic game. Sophomore Corey Clement finished with 111 yards and two touchdowns. Redshirt sophomore Dare Ogunbowale, a recently converted cornerback, finished with 94 yards on 14 carries after entering the game at the end of the third quarter. Redshirt junior Tanner McEvoy racked up 158 yards and a touchdown on the ground. It was the most rushing yards by a quarterback in Wisconsin history. McEvoy looked comfortable running the option and his decision-making outside the pocket has improved since the beginning of the season. However, his passing was again shaky. He was 9-16 for 112 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He missed several open receivers, including tight end Austin Traylor several times. McEvoy needs to hit those open throws with consistency. As shown against LSU, there will be times when the Badgers need to throw the ball late in close games. If losing in the fourth quarter, Wisconsin cannot afford to give away potential big gains. “I definitely think there’s a higher ceiling,” McEvoy said. “We know we can rush the ball. We know we can pass the ball. We gotta put it all together and keep working on it and just sharpen our sword.” Not to be forgotten amid the offensive explosion, the Wisconsin defense had an outstanding game as well. Entering Saturday, Bowling Green had been averaging 520 yards of offense and 41 points per game. After a field goal cut the Badgers’ lead to 14-10, the Falcons proceeded to punt six times and turn the ball over twice on their next eight drives, not including a kneel down to end the first half. During that span, the Wisconsin offense did its job, scoring 51 straight points to blow the game open and make it 65-10. Bowling Green managed just 271 total yards. The Falcons collectively averaged a mere 3.2 yards per carry and completed less than 50 percent of their passes. “We played a pretty good game. Nothing’s ever perfect,” said senior linebacker Derek Landisch. “We didn’t play a perfect game but as far as going out there and playing together for the most part we did that and the coaches had a great game plan.” Wisconsin’s defense dominated up front. The Badgers made 11 tackles for loss, racked up four sacks and forced two turnovers. Landisch was a major part of that, with 3.5 tackles for loss and two sacks himself. The Badgers remained at No. 19 in the AP poll and have one final nonconference game before Big Ten play begins. Wisconsin hosts South Florida this Saturday. The Bulls are 2-2 after defeating Connecticut over the weekend.

Record-breaking running attack from Badgers tramples over Bowling Green By Jim Dayton the daily cardinal

It was a record-setting performance for the Badger offense Saturday, as Wisconsin walloped Bowling Green, 68-17, behind a career day from Melvin Gordon. The Badgers set the school record for rushing yards with 644, surpassing the previous total of 564 against Indiana in 2012. Wisconsin also set a record for total offense with 756 yards. The

previous high was 705 against Indiana in 1999. At the forefront of it all was Gordon. The redshirt junior finished with a career-high 253 yards on just 13 carries, an average of nearly 20 yards per rush. He also tied a school record by scoring five touchdowns. The performance came two weeks after the gifted tailback was held to just 38 rushing yards on 17 carries against FCS Western

Illinois. That dreadful stat line created all sorts of speculation in the media that Gordon would be unable to live up to preseason expectations. “It’s not easy having a bad game and then having a bye week right after. It’s a good two weeks for people to talk crazy and talk this and that,” Gordon said. “It was tough. I won’t sit here and lie to you. It was tougher than I thought it would be.” It didn’t start out so well for

Gordon, however. He fumbled his first carry, the first of his career. He scored on a 2-yard touchdown run on his next attempt to make up for it, and from then on it was smooth sailing. Gordon ran decisively and effortlessly and showcased his dynamic talents as a runner. His cuts were quick and precise and he outran defenders in open space. He also threw in a few stiff arms for good measure.

Multiple times, Gordon spun away from tacklers and immediately went into his next move without losing speed. His balance on these runs was perhaps the most impressive aspect of his day, an ability to simultaneously absorb contact and evade defenders. “I was really motivated today. I just heard a lot of people saying ‘I can’t do this or that, Melvin is not that and he

Wisconsin splits two key matches By Sam Karp the daily cardinal

wil gibb/cardinal file photo

Senior outside hitter Ellen Chapman and the Badgers went into two top ten matches in Seattle and came away with one win.

Unfortunately for the Badgers (9-1), a perfect season came to an end this weekend losing 3-2 to No. 5 Washington (11-0) in the Pac 12/Big Ten Showcase in Seattle, Washington. However, the Badgers were able to bring home a huge victory early in the tournament, breezing by No. 10 Southern California (7-3) 3-1. After USC won the first set 25-21, the Badgers’ offense came to life and won the next three sets by an average of above six points. The Badgers came out strong in the second set taking a 12-7 lead early on. Wisconsin continued to face little resistance as they extended their lead to 22-14 before the Trojans took three straight points to bring the game within five. Redshirt senior middle back Dominique Thompson and sophomore middle back Haleigh Nelson each earned a kill on the next two points to give the Badgers set point and ultimately the 25-17 win. The third set proved to be more of the same as the Badgers jumped out to a 22-16 lead before an ace by Trojan junior outside hitter Samantha Bricio forced Wisconsin head coach Kelly Sheffield to take a timeout. Sheffield’s timeout could not

have worked out better for them, as Bricio hit her next serve into the net to give the ball back to the Badgers. Sophomore setter Lauren Carlini and senior outside hitter Ellen Chapman took care of the rest for the Badgers earning one kill each to give Wisconsin the 2-1 set advantage. While the Trojans came out strong to start the fourth set, taking a 16-11 advantage, they could not sustain their efforts as the Badgers brought the game to within four, trailing 20-16. Again the Trojans couldn’t stop the Badger offense, as Wisconsin took six straight points before taking the final set 25-21. The win versus the Trojans set up the Badgers for their undefeated showdown with the home town Huskies. The matchup lived up to all of the pre-match hype, as the game went five sets. Wisconsin started the back and forth battle on top, winning the first set 25-22. The Badgers came out strong in the set taking a 15-10 lead. The Huskies didn’t go away however, as they made a quick run to tie the game at 16. Washington continued to hang around until two errors by Washington gave Wisconsin a 24-21 lead and later, the first set. The Huskies came back strong in the second set taking

the tightly contested set 25-23. Washington lead the set 20-16 before the Badgers went on a four to zero run to tie up the set. Unfortunately for the Badgers, they couldn’t take a commanding 2-0 set lead as Washington went on a 3-0 run to end the set. The third set, which had 12 ties, provided more back and forth drama. The game was tied up at 18-18 before back-to-back kills gave Wisconsin a 20-18 lead. Wisconsin continued to pull away in the set taking a commanding 24-21 lead before winning the set 25-21. Down two sets to one the Huskies came out and dominated the entirety of the fourth set. Washington took an early 14-6 lead and never looked back winning the set 25-16. The Huskies used the momentum from their dominating fourth set to the fifth and decisive set. Washington jumped out to a 7-4 lead before the Badgers went on a four to one run to tie the set. The Huskies responded with their own run to close out the set and take the set 15-12. The Badgers have a quick turn around, as they open up Big Ten play at the UW Field House on Wednesday, where they’ll they take on the defending national champion Nittany Lions (12-1).
