Forum explores campus safety issues SAFEwalk calls up since 2012 By Tamar Myers the daily cardinal

At a Memorial Union town hall meeting Sunday evening, Dean of Students Lori Berquam shared something a criminal suspect once told her. “‘College students are usually drunk and they won’t remember what happens to them anyway,’” Berquam quoted the suspect as saying. Berquam communicated this at a University of WisconsinMadison forum to warn students about their susceptibility to crime. The town hall-style meeting was held to answer students’ questions and gather input on improving campus safety. Other officials participating in the forum included UW-Madison Police Chief Susan Riseling,

Student government secretary Carissa Szlosek discussed ideas to improve campus safety gathered during a ‘think tank’ brainstorming session at a town hall forum Sunday. Madison Police Department Captain Carl Gloede and student government representatives David Gardner and Carissa Szlosek. Gloede spoke to attendees about the recent surge in strong-

armed robberies, which do not involve weapon use. According to his figures, this type of crime increased 30 percent from 2011-’13. He attributed the uptick partially to “apple picking” by criminals

who swipe the iPhones of walkers too engrossed in their cell phones to notice their surroundings. SAFEwalk coordinator Kate Moran said this rise is one reason the walking escort program has

experienced increased use this year. Moran also attributes the rise to legally mandated crime bulletins that police now email to the campus. In August, there was a 98 percent increase in SAFEwalk calls from last year, Moran said. So far in September there has been a 75 percent increase in use, with 348 calls to date compared to 198 total in September 2012. The program has taken measures such as upping the number of SAFEwalker shifts to keep up with demand. “We’re working harder than ever,” Moran said. After presentations by officials, Gardner and Szlosek led “think tank” groups for students to brainstorm ideas about improving safety. A much-discussed idea was finding an alternative to the SAFEcab service that was discon-

US House seeks one-year delay to health care law in spending bill By Sarah Olson the daily cardinal

The U.S. House of Representatives voted early Sunday morning to amend a bill that would postpone a federal government shutdown with a one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act and a repeal of a taxation to pay for it. Without a federal spending bill, large federal government operations, including national parks and monuments’ services, could shut down starting Oct. 1. The shutdown would also put some non-essential federal workers on unpaid furloughs. The House passed a bill Sept. 20 that sought to defund the Affordable Care Act in return for providing federal government funding. Sunday’s House vote

comes after the U.S. Senate voted Friday to amend the bill to include funding for the Affordable Care Act. “Obamacare is not ready,” U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy, R-Wis., said in a statement Sunday. “Today the House stood with the majority of Americans and passed a resolution that funds the government and delays Obamacare for one year.” U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., said in a statement, “I voted in favor of allowing a vote to de-fund Obamacare. I oppose Obamacare. I want to see it repealed and replaced. That can happen only if the Senate is actually allowed to proceed to final passage of a bill that does so.” But in a speech on the Senate floor Thursday, U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., criticized some members

of Congress for leading the country on a “divisive, irresponsible path.” “Last week, my former Republican colleagues in the House of Representatives continued to put their own personal, partisan politics ahead of progress for the American people,” Baldwin said. House policies constitute “crisis to crisis governing,” according to Baldwin, and create uncertainty for the nation’s economy and financial insecurity for American businesses and families. But House Speaker John Boehner said in a statement the House plan reflects the American people’s desire to keep the government running and stop the implementation

Police arrest man responsible for Sept. 5 sexual assault Madison police arrested a 37-year-old man for sexually assaulting a college student after selling her ecstasy on State Street earlier in September, according to a police report. Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain said in the report Jonathan Evenson met the 22-year-old woman

who was “very intoxicated” while she was out celebrating her birthday Sept. 5. According to DeSpain, Evenson took the woman to his downtown office and later to his home on the West Side. He is accused of sexually assaulting her in both locations after providing her ecstasy.

The MPD charged Evenson with four counts of second degree sexual assault, which could include non-consensual sexual contact or intercourse involving force or violence, according to state law. He is also being charged for the sale of non-narcotic illegal substances.

PROFESSOR PROFILE

Paul Williams: ‘coach’ of undergrad plant research By Megan Stoebig the daily cardinal

Paul Williams, a retired emeritus professor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison plant pathology department, came to the university as a graduate student in 1959 off a train from Vancouver. Williams was offered a professorship right after graduation and

assigned to take care of the cabbage and sauerkraut crops on campus. The job, he says, quickly morphed into many different things. He noticed plants in the cabbage family took a notoriously long time to go through their life cycles. He said he had a “eureka

Anatomy

Question:

How many holes do ladies have “down there?”

Answer:

Three. The urethra is where urine leaves the body, the vaginal canal is where periods and babies leave the body and the anus is where poop leaves the body!

Question:

Where is the clitoris on a woman?

Answer: The clitoris is part

of the vulva—the exterior of the female genitalia. It’s a little nub that expands when aroused. It’s located a few inches above the vaginal canal and expands deep within the skin. Yay!

Question: Can you re-pop a cherry?

Answer:

No. A cherry, also known as a hymen, is a membrane surrounding the cervix in people with vaginas. Once a hymen is “broken,” it’s broken. Hymens can break from rigorous physical activities, a hard fall or sexual activity. The hymen does not grow back. However, it is possible and normal to bleed from sex if we’ve abstained for a while. Don’t worry!

Isn’t pre-come

Answer:

What? No. Preejaculate is a combination of fluids that rise out of the urethra of a penis before the person orgasms. The biological purpose is to “clean” the old sperm and bacteria out of the body so the fresh semen has the best chance of success.

Protection Question: Are blow jobs dangerous?

Answer:

Danger is an interesting word. Blow jobs are dangerous if an alligator is sucking dick. They’re dangerous is both people have stage four rabies. They’re even dangerous if both people hold their breath the whole time. However, giving or receiving a blow job under normal circumstances (read: s a n s alligator) is so not dangerous. At worst, giving head can carry minor risks, like transmission of the easily cured chlamydia to someone’s throat. As long as our mouths don’t have open wounds, the risk each person is exposed to during fellatio is very low. Part two of this question: Can you get pregnant from giving head? The stomach bone is not connected to the uterus bone, so we’re all clear on that one.

uestion: Can you get pregnant from a bath tub?

Answer:

No. Spermies cannot swim far or efficiently enough to travel through a tub of water.

Question: If I put a con-

dom on and it won’t roll down, can I flip it over and roll it down that way?

Answer:

No. Once the outside of a condom (the side that isn’t against the penis) touches the penis, it has been compromised by any residual fluids that may be on the penis’s tip. If we just turn it around, we’re exposing our partners to the fluids the condom is trying to help us avoid! We must replace the condom with a fresh one.

Question:

I got a sexual infection. My doctor said it was a UTI!

nswer: Urinary tract infections are irritations around the urethra and are not actually sexually transmitted infections. UTIs can be caused by sitting in bacteria-infested hot tubs for too long, wearing non-

cotton pants or excessive rubbing of the area near the urethra—including sexual activity! That’s why it is important to always pee after sex. If we find ourselves with a UTI, a visit to the doctor and a prescritption for antibiotics will do the trick.

uestion: Flavored condoms are okay for sex, right?

nswer: For oral sex, of course! That’s exactly why they’re flavored. However, using them for penetration in the vagina or anus may lead to yeast infections because of the glucose—sugars—that make them so tasty!

Orgasm

uestion: What’s the easiest way to get a girl to come?

masturbation session burns about 100 calories, which is typically not seen as a very intense workout. Sexpert Dan Savage suggests rewarding ourselves with a hot rub-off after a hard workout to get the benefit of both... And to motivate us to finally leave our house.

Question: Is it normal to cry while you orgasm?

nswer: While the “crymax” phenomenon isn’t suggested, our heightened emotions and sensations can sometimes expose our brains to happy or sad things we may have never considered in a different state of mind, which may cause us to cry. How fun.

Personal Answer: Eat her out. Question: Do guys ever Question: In porn, the girl wax their balls? always comes right when the dude starts eating her out. I eat Answer: Ahhhh KELLY my girlfriend out for minutes at a time but she never has an orgasm from it. What gives?

nswer: Porn is not real life. Getting a person to orgasm takes time and dedication. Learning what our partners want is especially important when we’re going down on them—we should listen to them and even ask them how they’re liking what we’re giving. As far as producing orgasms, we should ask our partner to tell us when they’re close to coming so we have a sense of whether or not we’re bringing our partners to the edge, or how to do so more frequently or efficiently.

Question:

Does masturbation count as a workout?

Answer:

The typical

CLARKSON (guess who just watched the Steve Carrell classic?) Some men do wax their balls but most people who manscape settle for more comfortable, less expensive shaving. Then they can do it themselves.

uestion: Why have I never been deep throated?

nswer: Very simple: your penis is not big enough or the people giving you head were not into deep throating.

Question: Will I ever get over my ex?

Answer:

No. Any more questions you’d like to see Alex answer? Tell her what she missed by emailing sex@dailycardinal.com!

State Supreme Court to review Jeffrey Decker case

Madison Public Library’s redesigned downtown branch, located at 201 W. Mifflin St., is the newest building in Madison to feature environmentally sustainable technologies.

EPA administrator commends Madison’s new ‘green’ library By Eoin Cottrell the daily cardinal

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy commended the ecofriendliness of the Madison Public Library’s redesign of its downtown branch at a press event Friday. The updated library re-opened Sept. 21, and McCarthy said it contributes well to Madison Mayor Paul Soglin’s prosperous effort to make Madison more environmentally conscious. For instance, McCarthy praised Sustain Dane, a not-forprofit organization that promotes sustainability in Dane County, for overseeing the Mpower Business ChaMpions program. The EPA and Madison Gas and Electric co-fund the Mpower program, which helps businesses become more environmentally friendly

He soon invented and branded a system called Fast Plants, which was able to accelerate the life cycle of a cabbage plant and its relatives from two years to 40 days. Williams soon noticed Fast Plants could be a useful tool not only for his teaching but also as a benefit to schools across the country for experiments. He said anyone can easily grow the plants in almost any kind of container with some fluorescent lighting. Since then, Williams has given

safety from page 1 tinued two years ago. SAFEcab offered students a limited number of free taxi rides each semester and was run by UW-Madison Transportation Services, which decided not to continue for a variety of reasons, according to

in regards to “energy efficiency, waste reduction, transportation and supply chain efficiency, employee wellness and community outreach,” according to an Mpower leaflet. Since 2009, more than 70 Madison businesses and organizations have collectively reduced their Carbon footprints by 21,500 tons and saved $916,000 annually. McCarthy said the program can be an example for others. “The EPA would like to be a partner with every one of the communities who will do exactly what you do, to embrace these ideas and turn them into opportunities for you to have more sustainable, rich, healthy communities,” she said. Determined not to underscore Madison’s Carbon Dioxide reduction, McCarthy said, “We are not talking ... about small efforts, we

are talking about small steps to a great effort.” She called for cooperation from all parties, in all communities, so climate change can be seriously addressed. Following McCarthy’s statement, Library Director Greg Mickells led a tour of the library. Complete with iPads, study rooms, flat screen TVs, a media room and art gallery, Madison’s Central Library boasts a diverse set of information technology. Mickells emphasized the focus of the library is “to create a sense of community.” He said, “We’re offering a lot of programs, a lot of free spaces.” Madison’s Central Library offers educational programs for all ages, from young readers to those seeking employment, so the library can continue to be the center of primary education in the downtown area.

up all rights of the program to the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, and the program is used in schools and research labs all over the world. Fast Plants also transitioned into another project Williams now works on called Bottle Biology. The program creates designs using old bottles and food containers and places them in manuals on the Internet for schools to use for experiments. Throughout his time at the university, Williams said he has seen the entire UW Hospital system and the nearby power plant constructed on his cabbage fields. Despite having graduated 50 years ago, Williams still describes

the university as his home. He met his wife during college, and raised his kids who also attended UW-Madison. “I retired 15 years ago, but this campus is my sandbox. I come every day to play with whoever wants to play,” he said. “That’s my life. No door’s closed to me.” Williams, who considers himself the “coach” of the undergrad researchers he oversees, still lives in Madison and visits campus every day. “The undergrads at this campus recharge my batteries every day, and that’s my reason for coming back to my sandbox,” Williams said.

ies must work together to find a more viable solution to improve student safety. “The SAFEcab program was not successful,” Gardner said. “It was not sustainable. It’s not something that we can see on our campus again.” The breakout groups discussed

The reversal of a decision to grant the Board of Regents a harassment injunction against a former University of WisconsinStevens Point student will be challenged in the Wisconsin Supreme Court. UW-Stevens Point student Jeffrey Decker graduated in 2005 and re-enrolled in the university in 2010 to give him a platform to challenge the university’s management of segregated fees, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. He was suspended for over a year in 2010 when he behaved aggressively and made threats in a meeting with the chancellor, the Board of Regents said in a court brief. This entailed a ban from UW System property. In September 2011, Decker violated suspension terms and attended a Board of Regents meeting on UW-Madison grounds, where he allegedly stood and blocked the view of attendees. When he was asked to leave, he resisted arrest and police dragged him from the meeting, the Board

of Regents brief said. Decker’s brief said he resisted arrest in peaceful protest. In October 2011, the Dane County Circuit Court granted the Board of Regents a harassment injunction against Decker. But in January 2013, the court of appeals reversed the injunction, maintaining that there was not enough evidence that Decker engaged in harassing behavior as defined by state statutes. In the Oct. 15 Wisconsin Supreme Court case, the judge will make a decision about the reversal. The Board of Regents asserts Decker could pose a threat to others, partially evidenced by the fact that Decker left to purchase a handgun when a police chief arrived at his home to serve him the harassment injunction. Decker’s brief asserts he was already a gun owner, and had been intending to purchase the handgun without any connection to the injunction. —Tamar Myers

State leader names UW chemistry professor a ‘Friend of Education’ University of WisconsinMadison chemistry professor Bassam Shakhashiri is among five recipients honored with the 2013 Friends of Education Award, according to a university press release. State Superintendent Tony Evers emphasized the importance of citizens’ commitment to education in his State of Education Address. “Each day through their work and volunteer service, these individuals demonstrate what it means to be a Friend of Education,” Evers said. In addition to fulfilling professorship duties, Shakhashiri is the William T. Evjue Distinguished Chair for the Wisconsin Idea, he

helped found the Institute for Chemical Education and he is the former president of the American Chemical Society. “His science advocacy seeks to impart the joy of discovery, which he believes will lure future generations to careers as researchers, entrepreneurs, and teachers,” the Department of Public Instruction stated. Shakhashiri imparts this joy in a unique way over the holidays through the production of his annually televised show, “Once Upon a Christmas Cheery, In the Lab of Shakhashiri,” during which he entertains sold-out audiences with visual chemical experiments.

Kate Bush— “Suspended in Gaffa”

Part of Matana Roberts’s “Coin Coin” sequence, “Pov Piti” finds her recounting terrors of slavery over walls of screaming saxophone.

Famously weird, Kate Bush found a perfect intersection of art, pop and strangeness on this cut from The Dreaming.

Grouper— “Heavy Water/ I’d Rather Be Sleeping”

Liz Harris’s “big hit” might put you to sleep, but its haunting melody will linger in your dreams.

Angel Haze— “Bitch Bad”

Working as an alternative to Dessa’s slam-poetry stylings, rising star Angel Haze turns her feminist ideals into a scathing banger.

Yesterday, Today

So Patti Smith, Mozart and T-Pain all walk into an opera Sean Reichard “quip quo pro”

ept. 30th, 1207: The mystic poet Rumi is born. Sept. 30th, 1399: Henry of Bolingbroke becomes Henry IV, King of England. Sept. 30th, 1791: Mozart’s last play, “The Magic Flute,” debuts at Freihaus-Theater auf der Wieden in Vienna. Sept. 30th, 1861: William Wrigley Jr., founder of the Wrigley Company, is born. Sept. 30th, 1924: Truman Capote, author of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” is born. Sept. 30th, 1964: Trey Anastasio, Phish guitarist, is born. Sept. 30th, 1985: Faheem Rasheed Najm, a.k.a. T-Pain, is born. September 30th, 1997: Peace and Noise by Patti Smith is released. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “The Magic Flute” takes place almost entirely at night. It’s a tale of love and the tribulations of fidelity. The two heroes— Tamino, the prince, and Papageno, the birdcatcher— strive for the love of Pamina and Papagena. In addition, Tamino/ Pamina strive to gain entrance to the temple of Isis and Osiris, in pursuit of enlightenment. Tangentially, the trials of Tamino are complicated by the Queen of the Night, Pamina’s mother, who promised her to another man, and who hates the temple for its associations with the day and light and such. Now, how well would an adaptation of “The Magic Flute” work with T-Pain as Papageno and Patti Smith as the Queen of the Night? I couldn’t rightly tell you. Could you handle an auto-tuned

version of “Ein Madchen oder Wiebchen?” Could you handle Patti Smith screaming her way through, “Nur stille, stille?” While, of course, Patti Smith doesn’t have the vocal chops for an opera, she could certainly make something of the words. As someone whose career has been predicated on raw guitar and rawer words. As someone whose music doesn’t quite sound right if it isn’t dark outside, as dark as Smith feels. On Peace and Noise, that feeling of darkness is well magnified. One of the first albums she recorded after a spat of sudden deaths—her brother, her keyboardist, Richard Sohl; her husband, Fred “Sonic” Smith—it’s an album that is, at first glance, a rock n’ dirge. The cover says as much: Smith sitting on a bed, jotting in a notebook, a moment cast in black and white. Day and night, maybe. The subject matter doesn’t lighten up much, either. Lead single, and Grammy nominee, “1959,” is about China’s annexation of Tibet, rendered starkly in the driving beat and Smith’s wailing for the Dalai Lama, “[who] was a young man/And watched his world in flames.” Death lurks all around, aptly, on “Death Singing,” a figure Smith frames in “straw colored light” as he goes about his business. And then there’s “Memento Mori.” For anyone who doesn’t remember their Latin, that means “remember death.” A whole ten minutes of clacking drums and mercury vapor guitars, with Smith spinning the tale of a helicopter accident—a trip bringing Johnny home—that cuts short his life. A Vietnam reference? As the fire rages, the song escalates into the thralling anguish of the whole of humanity, past and future, in bliss and agony. Heavy. It’s not all (quite) dark though.

Graphic by cameron Graff

Like the real night, there are layers. In Peace and Noise’s case, there’s a song like “Spell,” not actually a song per se, but a poem composed by Oliver Ray and Allen Ginsberg. If you’re familiar with or like Ginsberg’s work, then you’ll find a lot of the same themes here, elucidated by Smith. Lots of trance inducing guitar work and paeans to marijuana and Beat writers and shouts of “holy! holy! holy!” You may be tempted to dismiss this all as histrionics of the most mawkishly plangent—and Peace and Noise does little to dissuade that notion—but then you

remember, for better or for worse, that a lot of opera is predicated on histrionics. When done poorly or ignorantly, histrionics is a frightening, awful thing. But when the emotion is invested right, it can come off beautifully. Peace and Noise is histrionic and not perfect. But it’s not mawkish. Its plangency is well earned. Other albums released this day: At 89 by Pete Seeger (2008) and Vivian Girls by Vivian Girls (2008).

The Record Routine

HAIM’s debut LP is recycled gold

Days Are Gone HAIM

By Cheyenne Langkamp The Daily Cardinal

The Haim sisters have been hovering in the periphery of the music industry for their whole lives. From a family band during their years growing up in California to early tours behind acts like Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and Ke$ha, Este, Danielle and Alana Haim’s success was a long time in the making. The three subtly took the summer by storm, which not so subtly included a successful

appearance at Britain’s legendary Glastonbury festival. After all of this hype, it’s hard to believe they are just now releasing their debut album Days Are Gone. The album, out Sept. 30, feels like a teenage girl’s coming-of-age set into sound. It bleeds ballads of ruined love, lost dreams and learning to move on set to a new beat. The album features their most well-known song, “The Wire,” which was released in late July and reached no. 16 on the UK charts. It’s one of the more catchy tracks on the album and stands out as a great display of the band’s greatest strength—revamping the quintessential pop song. Their vocal style gives a nod to the ethereal flavor of the ’70s and ’80s, while their composition relies on a combination of gentle riffs, a strong bass and solid drum beat. “Forever” and “Don’t Save

Me” both have a similar sound. However, the band’s willingness to experiment shows on a track like “My Song 5.” The song successfully amps up their normal style with a nod to the increasingly popular synthesizers prominent in today’s hip-hop and rap. Many might criticize the band for borrowing too much from other acts or relying too much on the typical pop comfort zone of writing about heartbreak, but therein lies the beauty of the album HAIM have created. It takes the influence and pop tradition of the past thirty or so years—the music Este, Danielle and Alana grew up listening to, the music many of us grew up listening to—and throws it onto a single album. It’s a new pop sound made of old sounds, and it sounds pretty damn good.

opinion Desensitization weakens gun control action l

Monday, September 30, 2013

SEAN HUEY opinion columnist

ou might recall that on Sept. 19, two men opened fire on a park on the south side of Chicago, wounding 13 people including a 3-year-old boy. If you think back a little further, you might also remember earlier that same week, another gunman shot and killed 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard, just blocks away from our nation’s Capitol. In fact, if you can recount every such incident over the last four years, you’ll find that 43 mass shootings— nearly one for every month during that time period—occurred in the United States. Still, after all the media attention, after all the political warfare, after all the empty talk of change, nothing has happened. In his remarks at the memorial service for the victims of the Navy Yard shooting, President Barack Obama said,

“It ought to obsess us… We can’t accept this.” He’s right. In 2010 alone, 8,775 victims— nearly three times as many Americans who were killed on 9/11—were murdered with firearms. Imagine an event on the scale of 9/11 happening three times every year. This should shock us; this should completely halt every American where he or she stands. And while we continually grieve the tragedy that happened over 12 years ago and hunt abroad the terrorists of those attacks, we’ve already lost the will to implement the reforms necessary to prevent further gun violence here at home. These reforms are simply common sense. One of the most viable options, administering mandatory background checks on all gun sales, is so popular that it garners support from 92 percent of Americans. So why haven’t we changed? You might believe that it’s the fault of our gridlocked Congress, and that is at least

dailycardinal.com

partially true in the instances these events have even triggered a major response in our Capitol. Republicans in Washington have maliciously opposed any sort of restrictions on what they claim to be their Second Amendment rights. Though if they read the Second Amendment, they would know that the right to bear arms is guaranteed only to a “well regulated militia.” I digress. And certainly the almighty National Rifle Association has used its extraordinary power to whip moderate Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats in line with its extreme political agenda. However, Washington politics isn’t completely to blame. In fact, our do-nothing Congress is only one small part of our hindrances. Let me explain how the system works: a bad person gets hold of a gun and perpetrates a mass shooting, the media explodes with graphic details and invasive interviews with victims’ family members, we become horrified that such

an incident is possible in our great society, the media suggests it’s time to change our laws, we move on and then the cycle repeats. We lose our motivation. We do not act. There is no change. The truth is we are a donothing people. Somewhere along the way in our history, we forgot that we are citizens of a republic and that we too have obligations in creating a more perfect union. When it is time to amend our laws, it is our responsibility to demand action, and when our representatives fail to take action, it is our duty to remind them that they are beholden to our views and our votes. If they continue to fail, we must remove them. This certainly hasn’t been the case with gun violence. Two weeks after two major instances of preventable gun violence, our leaders in Washington are debating whether to shut down the government over a law that has been upheld by all three powers of our constitution. If

we had fulfilled our duties as citizens of the United States, Congress would have passed a law creating mandatory background checks yesterday. During his speech Sunday, President Obama also said, “There is nothing normal about innocent men and women being gunned down where they work. There is nothing normal about our children being gunned down in their classrooms. There is nothing normal about children dying in our streets from stray bullets.” Unfortunately, in this instance, he’s wrong. This is normal. This is business as usual. These sickening events are a routine chapter of our narrative, but they don’t have to be. Our country is ready for you to take action, and until you do, more shootings will occur and the tragic cycle of apathy will continue. This is Sean’s first article. How do you suppose we end the streak of violence? Please send all feedback to opinion@dailycardinal.com.

United States’ intervention in Syria could potentially deter terrorism

Climate change correlates with the times

RYAN BULLEN opinion columnist

threw a piece of paper into the garbage today. Logically, I know that’s terrible for the environment. I understand that average surface area temperatures are projected to possibly increase 3 to 10 percent by the end of the century. I also know that one fourth of the earth’s species are predicted to be on the track to extinction by 2050 according to the Nature Conservatory. But, I didn’t recycle that piece of paper. This article is not meant to speculate whether global warming is man made or not. The fact is that many of us believe in man-made global warming and understand its effects. And yet, every so often we leave the lights on, leave the water running or don’t recycle. So that poses the question— why aren’t we more concerned? I know the first time I heard my science teacher present a lecture on climate change I was terrified of what was to come of our planet, and I was inspired to do my part to keep the earth clean. But, my year went on and I didn’t notice any drastic changes taking place in the environment. Each day seemed about as hot or cold as the day before. About a year later, when I received a similar presentation on global warming, it didn’t seem as scary. This was nothing new. And the more I heard the idea, the more commonplace it became to me. Of course I’m only one student, but I did have a fairly typical upbringing. Relating to that, lacking urgency is the distant feeling people associate with climate change. It’s a common belief that climate crisis won’t result in a dire situation until some other generation’s lifetime. For a lot of us, that’s a get-out-ofjail-free card.

The concept of the American world police structure is not something that should be sought after, and, of course, there are atrocities that happen every day in the world that the United States simply has no business acting on. However, we are no longer dealing with just a civil war, we are dealing with a human rights issue.

Every day the United States continues to refuse in aiding the removal of Assad from power, more and more young Syrians will turn to terrorism.

Imagine waking up every day surrounded by the ruthless killing of your comrades, your family, innocent women and children, and knowing all the while that there are powerful nations out there that can help stop the bloodshed, yet they essentially do nothing to stop the violence. The call of religious extremism would start to ring truer in your ear with every passing day. Your enemy would not only be Assad but the country that scorned you on the world stage. If the United States wishes to truly weaken terrorist organizations, it starts with discrediting them and proving on the world stage that as a nation we will not stand on the sidelines while innocent Syrians are slaughtered.

It’s also possible that we don’t feel the need to religiously recycle because we don’t think our decisions always matter. It’s easy to feel like one piece of paper in the garbage isn’t going to affect the earth’s climate. Both luckily and unluckily for us, our decisions always matter. It seems there is a lot of indifference toward climate change today, and apathy is a tricky idea to circumvent. So many terrible situations unfold each day, but people almost always find their way back to their everyday lives. We hear about public shootings, genocides and murders all over the world, but we usually don’t walk around in a constant state of depression. An important part of humanity is the ability to shut some unpleasant sensations out of our minds. We can’t empathize with every victim and still expect to lead a happy life.

It’s easy to feel like one piece of paper in the garbage isn’t going to affect the earth’s climate. Both luckily and unluckily for us, our decisions always matter.

So what do we do? First of all, we should recognize that humanity has a tendency to be apathetic. It’s only natural, because we can’t feel responsible for everything bad. However, we can sift and choose certain causes to care about. We can make the choice to care about and be scared by global climate change. It’s difficult; when a warning is repeated over and over again it may start to seem mundane. Even this article is a repetition of that same warning. But, for those people that believe in the validity of man-made climate change, I think we should allow ourselves to be scared. We have to use that fear to motivate us to not throw another piece of paper into the garbage. Please send all feedback to opinion@dailycardinal.com.

Badgers have a lot to learn from their loss to Ohio State Brett Bachman ready, brett, go

isconsin hangs around in tough games. It’s been three years since the Badgers have lost by more than seven points, a statistic that masks the fact that most of Wisconsin’s losses come in heartbreaking fashion. One play can—and often does— make or break those sorts of games. It’s tough on an athlete mentally to endure those sorts of losses, but often times there’s a lot of good to be taken away from contests like Saturday’s seven-point loss to Ohio State. Sure, there were the miscues. But then again, there were lots of exceptionally bright moments. In two weeks the Badgers face another test against Northwestern, who is undefeated so far this season. This Saturday the Wildcats take on Ohio State, and UW is hoping Northwestern can pull off an upset of their own, leaving the playing field level once again in the Big Ten. Given a win for Northwestern this week, what does Wisconsin have to do in the coming weeks to land themselves a trip to Indianapolis in December? First off, UW needs to establish a receiving corps behind Abbrederis. He may be one of the best receivers in the Big Ten, but it’s only a matter of time before somebody figures out how to stop him. Even Superman has kryptonite. Stave, a developing quarterback for all intents and purposes, needs to put the ups and downs behind him. His bright flashes are what keep Wisconsin in close games, but the clear interceptions and overthrows hurt the team more than just the loss of a down or a drive. It’s mentally draining for a team to make those sort of mistakes.

In the past, as a run-first team, the Badgers won by controlling the clock. This season Wisconsin has had the ball almost exactly half of the time they’ve been on the field. Saturday UW averaged five plays and 2:32 per drive, not really the ideal drawn-out, grind-them-down sort of offense that the Badgers flourish with. Finding a way to keep the ball for longer stretches of time is going to be key for this team going down the stretch. Big plays are nice, but it’s tough to rely on lightning in a bottle to win important games. The secondary was lights out until they faced Ohio State, not allowing a single passing touchdown in its first four contests. Braxton Miller, however, took advantage of even the smallest of mistakes, leaving doubts about this young secondary’s ability to compete against big-time talent. Cleaning up those small lapses will prove to be indispensable when playing high-quality opponents. Obviously maintaining the success of the run game is included in this list. Any chance of redshirt sophomore Melvin Gordon becoming a dark-horse Heisman contender was shattered Saturday, but as long as he finds his game once again the Badgers have a chance to be successful. After last weekend’s trip to Columbus the distance UW has to travel to get to the Big Ten Championship in Indianapolis became a lot longer, but it certainly isn’t out of the question. This bye week represents a chance for Wisconsin to either dwell on the loss or take advantage of extra time to prepare for a talented Northwestern team. These two weeks are going to be the defining moment for this year’s Badger football team. Have any other things you think the Badgers could improve on? Let us know by emailing sports@dailycardinal.com. The Daily Cardinal would also like to wish a very happy birthday to Brett’s mother, Marlene Bachman.

Men’s Soccer

Badgers split games at Illinois-Chicago By Jason Braverman The Daily Cardinal

The weekend started on a high note at the University of IllinoisChicago Classic for the Wisconsin men’s soccer team (5-1-1 overall), posting a 5-1 win against Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne (0-6-1) Friday. The goal-scoring frenzy took 32 minutes to begin, but after senior forward Chris Prince, who is coming off an injury, slotted home the opening goal Wisconsin never looked back. Junior midfielder Jacob Brindle doubled the lead just two minutes later with a shot from the top of the box. Three second-half goals by senior forward Nick Janus, freshman forward Skyler Felt and redshirt senior forward Derek Pitts sealed the deal for Wisconsin. The Badgers outshot the Mastodons 17-4, while 21 players saw playing time Friday. Freshman goalkeeper Casey Beyers gave up no goals in 72 minutes of play, only having to make two saves in the game. Senior goalkeeper Max

Jentsch gave up one goal in the final 18 minutes, finalizing the score at 5-1. Badger head coach John Trask coached at UIC from 2005-2009, winning two Horizon League Coach-of the-Year awards in 2006 and 2008. Trask became the Badgers’ coach in 2010. After Friday’s success Wisconsin was quickly brought down to earth with their first loss of the season against Gonzaga (4-1-0) Sunday. A penalty goal given up 21 minutes into the game was the catalyst for the Bulldogs, while their second goal came in the 68th minute. Gonzaga outshot Wisconsin 9-6, with 6-3 being on target, despite the Badgers compiling 4 corner kicks and the Bulldogs not having any. Wisconsin has only trailed in three games this season, this being the only time they have ultimately stayed down. On the plate next for Wisconsin is the Big Ten opener at Penn State Sept. 29.

Badgers open Big Ten play with two victories at home By Zach Rastall The Dailiy Cardinal

Coming off an impressive run in nonconference play, the Wisconsin volleyball team (2-0 Big Ten, 13-1 overall) looked to get off to a winning start in conference play in the tough Big Ten. They did not disappoint, winning their first two contests in just seven sets. UW defeated No. 20 Purdue 25-23, 25-17, 25-23 on Friday night in front of an electric crowd at the UW Field House. The sweep was the Badgers’ second against a ranked opponent this season, the other coming against No. 17 Louisville. It is the first time UW has swept two ranked opponents in the same season since 2007. Saturday night the Badgers slipped up in just one set, winning the match 25-23, 19-25, 25-16, 25-16. It is the first time Wisconsin has opened up conference play 2-0 since 2007. Purdue (9-3, 0-1), who had their 8-match win streak snapped, were simply overwhelmed by the Badgers, who seemed to feed off the intensity of the crowd. “I wish I could thank every single fan that comes,” junior outside hitter Deme Morales said of the fired up crowd. “Having the whole Field House full of people, just the energy off of it is great.” The Badgers led for most of the first set, but were never able to pull away from Purdue. The Boilermakers were able to fight off two set points before

an attack error clinched the set for Wisconsin. Freshman middle back Haleigh Nelson shone in the first set of her conference debut, leading the UW attack with five kills. “Haleigh Nelson early on gave us a really big lift,” firstyear coach Kelly Sheffield said. “She was really physical up there and that’s what we need out of her.”

“That’s something else we learned about our team— that there’s another gear when we need it.” Kelly Sheffield head coach Wisconsin volleyball

Wisconsin carried the momentum into the second set, never looking back after jumping out to a 5-0 lead. The Boilermakers were plagued by errors and miscues, including a service error to close out the set. It appeared that the third set was going to be all Badgers as well, as they jumped out to an 18-10 lead, but Purdue refused to go down without a fight. A 10-3 run for the Boilermakers got them within one point, but the Badgers buckled down and were able to hang on to take the set and match, which ended on another service error for Purdue. “What you’re really proud of is the end of game three,” Sheffield said. “We really

could’ve collapsed in game three, and I think we showed some toughness when toughness was needed.” A big key to Wisconsin’s victory was their domination of the blocking game, giving them 10.5 blocks to Purdue’s 3. This was especially good news for Sheffield, who considered it one of his team’s weaker areas early in the season. “[Blocking] hasn’t been a strength of our’s up to this point,” he said. “I thought we had a good night blocking.” Saturday was more of the same for the Badgers, who were able to come out with a victory despite 12 ties in the first set. Wisconsin failed to put together much offense in the second set, allowing Purdue to ultimately win by six points. “Indiana changed it up on us,” freshman setter Lauren Carlini said. “They did not do what we were expecting. It took a while to transition that. When we came out for games three and four, we switched our game plan up to set the middles more.” Wisconsin rolled through sets three and four, with Indiana never finding an answer to the Badgers’ well-rounded attack. Five players recorded 47 total kills, giving them a .293 kill percentage on the night. “Our players came out of the locker room with a mentality that you need to have,” Sheffield said. “They found another gear. That’s something else we learned about our team—that there’s another gear when we need it. That’s good.”

Wisconsin’s late-game drive falls short By Cameron Kalmon The Daily Cardinal

No. 23 Wisconsin (1-1 Big Ten, 3-2 overall) started from behind and found themselves behind 24-14 going into halftime after a last second touchdown reception by Ohio State senior wide receiver Corey Brown. No. 4 OSU (1-0, 5-0) held steady and didn’t let the Badgers back into the game until the fourth quarter, when the Badgers were able to mount a late rally but failed to execute an onside kick. Wisconsin eventually fell to the Buckeyes 31-24 after their final drive stalled out with 20 seconds left in the game. The Badgers’ missed opportunities were ultimately too much to overcome. Redshirt junior kicker Kyle French missed his first field goal attempt from 32 yards, but came back in the fourth quarter to sink a 42-yard field goal, leaving Wisconsin behind by a touchdown with only two minutes left in the game. Freshman Sojourn Shelton dropped a potential interception just prior to halftime, and on the next play Buckeye senior quarterback Braxton Miller split the UW safeties to put OSU up by 10.

Redshirt senior Jared Abbrederis had a career-best 207 receiving yards on 10 receptions Saturday against the Buckeyes. The Badgers failed to establish their running attack, only accumulating 104 rushing yards on the day. Redshirt sophomore running back Melvin Gordon was capped at just 74 rushing yards, his first game under 100 this season.

“We’ll be frustrated, we’ll be irritated, and then we’ll move on.” Andersen said. “The bottom line is there’s no magic fairy dust and everyone is in [the Big Ten race] at this time … we don’t completely control our destiny, but I like our chances.”
