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.

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.
