In a highly visible moment during a semester filled with incidents of hate and bias, roughly 400 students walked out of class April 21 to protest UW-Madison Police Department’s arrest of Denzel J. McDonald.

Sims stretched too thin as university’s diversity, inclusion efforts falter Story by Peter Coutu Within the past year, protesters at UW-Madison have struggled to achieve change. Actually providing the change they strive for on campus can prove to be a similarly frustrating pursuit for administrators. The person whose job entails fighting for diversity and inclusionrelated activities at the university is Patrick Sims, the chief diversity officer at UW-Madison. In an article titled “What is a Chief Diversity Officer?” Damon Williams, a prominent researcher on the position, describes it as someone who always treats diversity as a top priority, “where others [in administration] work on issues of diversity as a matter of second or third priority.” The equity and inclusion committee chair for Associated Students of Madison during the 2015-’16 academic year, Mariam Coker, said many students do not realize the dynamic between Sims and the rest of senior administration on issues of diversity “Something that students need to realize with Patrick Sims’ position is that he is the only person at the

admin level dealing with these types of issues,” Coker said in an April 10 interview with The Daily Cardinal. “This work is impossible to get done with just one person.” In addition to dealing with other members of the university administration, Sims also said he has to contend with the general public, who usually have “extreme positions,” when discussing diversity. He said the result is a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation.

“Students need to realize with Patrick Sims’ position is that he is the only person at the admin level dealing with these types of issues.” Mariam Coker equity and inclusion committe chair Associated Students of Madison

“There are those who say, ‘The university is not doing enough [to help diversity], it’s crap.’ Then there are those who say, ‘The fact that [the Division of Diversity, Equity & Educational Achievement exists] is crap and we’re a waste of taxpayer resources,’” Sims said in an April 11 interview with The Daily Cardinal. “I live in between both of those extremes, pulling on me very hard every day.”

Michael Thornton—professor of African-American Studies and director of the Morgridge Center for Public Service—said Sims often becomes a “lightning rod for all of the racial issues on campus,” even though his position has “relatively little resources, and especially little power.” Thornton went on to say he was asked to apply for the position during a previous vacancy, but he declined, explaining that he has too little patience for the irritation that comes with being a chief diversity officer. “I can only imagine the frustration they must feel when they really want to do something, but they have to get approval from their boss, who would often say, ‘We don’t have the resources for that,’ or ‘That’s too touchy of an issue,’” Thornton said. To combat the lack of funding for diversity initiatives, Sims, who heads the Division of Diversity, Equity & Educational Achievement, said he has spent an increasing amount of time fundraising. “[Raising funds is] a new challenge that wasn’t even a part of the position description when I came on board, and now it’s taking up at least a third to 40 percent of my time,” Sims said.

UW-Madison students could be grabbing their Amazon packages from Sellery Residence Hall, Memorial Library or the University Bookstore, among other new options, for the corporation’s oncampus pickup point, student leader Omer Arain said Sunday. The search for a new location follows a push from shared governance groups across campus to nix the site’s original placement in the historic Red Gym, which houses groups like the Multicultural Student Center, Study Abroad Resource Center, Morgridge Center for Public Service and LGBT Campus Center. Representatives from Amazon mentioned the possible new locations during a meeting last Wednesday with Arain—who serves as chair of the Associated Students of Madison’s Shared Governance Committee—and ASM Chair Carmen Goséy, as well as ASM Outreach Coordinator Matt Wulf and University Committee Chair Amy Wendt. Arain said although there is no strict timeline to be followed

for when the actual location will be chosen, he expects the campus community to be fully involved in the decision—something that did not occur before the initial selection of the Red Gym. “At this point, I do expect that shared governance groups, and also constituents in wherever [the pickup point] would go, I would imagine, are going to be consulted,” Arain said. The Amazon representatives also reportedly said student employees at the pickup point would be paid the campus minimum wage of $9, something Arain said he would hold the corporation accountable for once the site officially opens. Arain said he appreciates Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration Laurent Heller’s effort in reaching out to shared governance groups on the issue, adding that he will meet with Heller later this week to talk about the next steps. “He was respectful of shared governance and included us in the process, even if it was after the fact,” Arain said. “He was open to meeting with us. I’m very happy about it.”

Mifflin will close Tuesday The 400 block of West Mifflin Street, which sits between North Broom Street and North Bassett Street, will close Tuesday for utility work. Corex Excavation & Construction, the company that will be doing the utility work, expects the closure to last from 8:30 a.m. through the end of the

workday, according to a City of Madison press release. The city is also encouraging motorists to use an alternate route. Pedestrians and bicyclists will have access to the street the entire time, in addition to Mifflin Street residents. However, parking will be restricted in the work area.

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

Say hello to a fast-approaching midterm season with a new study routine.

Get back in the midterm groove Midterm season can be an extremely stressful time, especially if this is your first experience with it. For most, midterms seem to come out of nowhere and force us to break out of the bad habits we fell into this September. Here I present some tips to help motivate you to get back into the grind and be the student you want to be.

your school work done at the quality you want. So buy a planner or make a spreadsheet on your computer, that way you will always have your schedule with you. If you have a routine, you will get more done in a more timely fashion. Your mind and body will thank you for the stress you’re avoiding by staying on top of deadlines and meetings you need to attend.

Keep technology far, far away

Prepare the night before

By Sierra Bychowski the daily Cardinal

It’s the easiest thing to do. Picking up your phone when you have downtime only to realize you just spent an hour on Instagram or online shopping for items you can’t afford. This year make a pact with yourself that you will not get lost in the endless entertainment the Internet has to offer. Choose to instead focus more energy on getting stuff done. Because that sleepy, unfocused feeling you have after staring into a bright screen for too long will interfere with whatever work you’re planning to do after. When you have free time inbetween or during classes, fight your instincts to grab that phone and instead focus on lecture or try to do something productive. Another good time to keep your phone away is at night. Being on your phone will make you stay up later and lessen your quality of sleep. As we are college students, sleep is one of our most sacred activities so don’t mess it up for yourself by snapchatting all night. Another good reason to keep your phone far away when it’s late is when your alarm goes off you have to stand up and walk over to shut it off. This is a good way to wake yourself up, especially when you trip over all the stuff you have laying around your floor on the way to the alarm. Your roommate will also be grateful they didn’t have to be woken up to the shrill beat of their alarm, but instead to the sound of your body hitting the floor and the grunt or two that follows.

Create a schedule

One of the best things you can do to stay organized—and therefore sane—is to plan out your days. This is especially helpful if you are involved in activities outside of your classes, because your schedule will probably be a little hectic. It’s important to make sure you’re not spreading yourself too thin and that you give yourself time to get all

We all have those days where we become a little too friendly with the snooze button and sleep in way too late. These are the days we end up rushing to class without a shower, in our pajamas, feeling less than ready to start the day. Some of this hurt can be easily avoided by preparing for the day ahead, the night before. This can entail anything from setting out your clothes to programing your coffee pot to automatically brew your cup at a certain time in the morning. Whatever your morning routine is, if you can get it ready the night before, do it. It’s way easier at night than it is when you’re half awake in the morning.

For those of us not gifted with a perfectly steady hand or a team of expert makeup artists, a lot of Q-tips, makeup remover and frustration can be wasted trying to get that cat-eye just right. Learning to master this classic beauty look can be a difficult process. Fortunately for us amateur liner-lovers, there are a few easy tricks to solving the winged-liner crisis. Once you have it figured out, you’ve got a quick fix that can upgrade your look from day to night, pair perfectly with a red lip and open the door to a whole new world of makeup.

Try some tape

This hack may sound slightly strange, but it works well for creating a sharp line. Take two pieces of Scotch tape and line them up so that the top edge of the tape is following along your lower lash line. To decrease possible irritation, place most of the tape on the area next to your eye instead of directly underneath. The next step is simple: Apply liquid liner to your top lash lines as usual and continue the line past the outer corner of your eye in a winged

shape. Peel off the tape, and you should be left with Cleopatra-worthy wings.

Map it out

This step-by-step is slightly harder, but will give you more control over the shape of the wing. Apply liner to your top lash line, making it slightly thicker toward the outer corner. Next, draw a thin line that follows the direction of your bottom lash line. It’s helpful to make this shorter than you want your wing to be because you can always add to the feline flick afterward. Use your liner to connect the tip of your extended line back into the original line and fill in any gaps in between. Pro tip: Use more forgiving pencil liner to begin and go over it in liquid liner once you’re happy with the look.

Use a spoon

Another odd option is to incorporate the kitchen into your makeup routine. Hold up the handle of a spoon to the outer corner of your eye, and use the straight edge to trace the bottom of your wing. Then flip the spoon around and use the curved edge to create the top line of the wing, finishing up by filling in the open space.

Stir up your typical java with Madison’s coffee scene

Explore

This tip is most encouraged for new students, but can also be useful to returning students who are living in a new dorm or apartment this year. Get to know your surroundings by exploring the areas around you. Finding a spot that you like is really important this time of year. It’s so much easier to study successfully if you are able to find a place you feel comfortable and focused. So get out of your room and look around; you never know what great space you may find.

Eat breakfast, keep snacks handy

Breakfast may or may not be the most important meal of the day, but it’s the most important meal in order to slay. If you want to have enough energy to stay awake in class and finish all the work you need to get done that day, eating breakfast is one of the best things you can do. Walking around campus and long lectures can be draining, so keep snacks in your backpack or put a couple dollars on your Wiscard so you will be able to get that energy boost whenever you need it. There’s nothing worse than that loud growl your stomach makes just as your class quiets down.

Joe has many names. Some say java, others affectionately call it mud, but most just say coffee. Regardless of the name, for many of us running hectic lives on this bustling campus, it’s the only thing that gets us out of bed in the morning. In honor of last week’s International Coffee Day, WalletHub put together a list of the best cities for coffee-lovers to call home in 2016. Madison took eighth among a list of 50 major metropolitan cities across the nation—not too shabby. The cities were judged based on factors like affordability of a cappuccino, number of coffee shops per capita, average

amount of coffee makers per home and other components. In Madison the coffee shops to stop at vary from larger chains like Starbucks, Collectivo and Espresso Royale to smaller joints like Fair Trade CoffeeHouse, Michelangelo’s Coffee House and Coffeebytes. Whether you pair your cup of joe with cream, sugar, fancy toppings like nutmeg and cinnamon or you are a kindred soul who prefers your java darker than the midnight sky, Madison has a coffee scene that welcomes you. So take the time to explore all of the nooks and crannies and try a new coffee drink other than your regular order.

Judge says voter ID law may have been violated By Hannah Olson THE DAILY CARDINAL

A federal judge ordered an investigation calling into question a possible state violation after a homeless man received voter ID misinformation at the Madison Division of Motor Vehicles. Zack Moore, 34, recently relocated to Madison and went to the DMV Sept. 22 to obtain a voting credential. On the same day, Attorney General Brad Schimel filed court documents ensuring all who went through the state’s petition process would receive a photo ID in the mail within six days of applying, even without a birth certificate, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Moore, however, was met with confusion by three workers at the DMV, as captured in an audio recording first reported by The Nation. Accompanied by Molly McGrath, the national cam-

Patent drawings display the artistic translations of scientists’ discoveries By Sammy Gibbons THE DAILY CARDINAL

One of the first discoveries of solar energy was made in a UW-Madison lab and sketched to artistically explain the concept. This drawing, pulled from the archives from 1957, is displayed among the artwork of other original scientific ideas in a Union South exhibit. The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation display, “The Artistry of Innovation: WARF Patent

Drawings Through Time,” shows discoveries that were introduced by scientists as early as the 1930s along with several contemporary images. WARF Director of Strategic Communications Jeanan Yasiri Moe said the exhibit is remarkable because it shows how the scientists used artistry to translate their ideas to people who have the power to advance their designs. “Not all patents require a drawing,” Moe said. “But in some cases it’s really helpful to be able to artis-

tically render how this discovery is going to functionally work, and those are some of the drawings that we have on display.” The patents display a wide range of ideas that WARF has collected over its 90 years as an organization. These drawings include devices such as a machine that can tie shoes and a Braille watch, among others. “We tried to find a broad scope of patents to exhibit,” Moe said. “We wanted to find drawings that would represent different parts of campus. You’ll see some from physical sciences, others from biological, some from the computational science area and seemingly practical devices.” Moe said the exhibit will connect WARF to the public and inform people what they do, which she said many people are unaware of. They came up with the idea to display science through art nearly a year ago and were given the nod by the Wisconsin Union Directorate Art Committee to have their display in Union South after a competitive proposal process. The display will be open to the public in Gallery 1308 until Nov. 14. Moe said WARF is excited to have their exhibit open during the Wisconsin Science Festival, which occurs during the third week of October. “We know that there will be a lot of people coming to campus and looking around town for interesting ways to experience science,” Moe said. “We’re hoping that this will be one of those ways that people can enjoy the week.”

UW System named one of world’s most innovative campuses UW System students will have the chance to attend one of the world’s most innovative campuses, as the system ranked 13th in Reuters’ 2016 list of top 100 innovative universities.

The report is based on factors that include the number of patent applications filed and granted by innovators at each institution, as well as citations in the academic world. “We have a $15 billion impact on

could take indeterminately long, and the third saying the process would take six to eight weeks, well past election day.

sims from page 1 Upper members of the administration have unintentionally created a difficult position for Sims, according to Thornton. Fundraising trips often take Sims away from campus, separating him from students who might otherwise reach out to him. Sims attempted to reach students March 31 with a video responding to a threatening note slipped under a student’s door. The video is nearly nine minutes long, and it shows an angry and emotional Sims condemning “Jim Crow” racism on campus. Following the video, which quickly spread through social media and gained more than 20,000 views on YouTube, Sims said he received “very little” response from students, even though he strongly encouraged them to speak with him. Thornton said recent changes in the make-up of senior administration has also left Sims more isolated when fighting for diversity issues. Following the departures of Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration Darrell Bazzell and Director of Community Relations Everett Mitchell, who left in March and June of 2016, respectively, Sims is also the only African-American in senior administration.

“I’d be surprised if [Sims] is around here for another four or five years. In that position, you get worn down real quick.” Michael Thorton professor UW-Madison

Sims said this, combined with the fact that his position is dedicated to handling issues of diversity and inclusion, adds even more pressure to his job. “And so there’s an expectation like, ‘Woah, someone is going to speak to the issues that are pertinent to our communities,’” Sims said. “It’s sort of like the ‘Obama Factor,’ like, ‘Yes, we have a black president, now all of these things are going to be taken care of.’ Not saying I’m like Obama, but I think some of those pressures are

Each instructor encouraged Moore to acquire a birth certificate in order to vote. U.S. District Judge James Peterson issued an emergency ruling Friday to investigate Moore’s case. “These reports, if true, demonstrate that the state is not in compliance with this court’s injunction order, which requires the state to ‘promptly issue a credential valid as a voting ID to any person who enters the [petition process] or who has a petition pending,’’’ said Peterson in the ruling. DMV spokeswoman Patty Mayers claimed that the agency began investigations into the incident before Peterson’s issued order. “The report is concerning and is not consistent with DMV protocol,” Mayers said in a written statement. “DMV remains committed to working with all eligible voters to ensure they receive free identification, as required for voting.” very much there.” According to Executive Director of University Communications John Lucas, Damon Williams came before Sims as UW-Madison’s first chief diversity officer, and he began on Aug. 1, 2008. The position was created through Plan 2008, one of the university’s 10-year diversity plans, according to Sims.

“[Raising funds is] a new challenge... now it’s taking up at least a third to 40 percent of my time.” Patrick Sims chief diversity officer UW-Madison

Williams left the university Aug. 2, 2013, slightly longer than five years after he began in the position. Then-Associate Vice Chancellor for Diversity and Climate Bernice Durand preceded Williams as the lead administrator for diversity issues on campus. She did not hold the chief diversity officer title, as the position was configured differently during her tenure as associate vice chancellor—then-Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Paul Barrows also had a “substantial responsibility for the diversity portfolio of activities,” according to Lucas. She officially began in that role in the spring of 2003 and after a 37-year career on campus, Durand retired from the university in June 2007, filling the lead administrative position for diversity issues for less than five years. According to Thornton, the lengths of Durand’s and William’s terms are consistent with the national average for chief diversity officers, which he said is about five years. Sims has been in the chief diversity officer position since 2013, first on an interim basis and then permanently beginning May 6, 2015. Thornton said he does not expect Sims to outlast the fiveyear average. “I’d be surprised if [Sims] is around here for another four or five years,” Thornton said. “In that position, you get worn down real quick.”

Bon Iver returns from hiatus By Sam Marz THE DAILY CARDINAL

ALBUM REVIEW

22, A Million Bon Iver It was a sunny, summer afternoon as I drove along rolling country roads back to my house. The radio was blasting alternative tunes from Milwaukee’s FM 102.1. As the station cut to commercial, the radio DJ spoke a name I hadn’t heard in quite some time: Bon Iver. My ears perked up as I continued along that road, listening intently to the message that followed. The radio DJ announced Bon Iver, a band that had not released a new album since Bon Iver five years ago, would release a new project 22, A Million at the end of September. I am not exaggerating in the slightest when I

say I exclaimed, “What? What? Oh my God, yes!” to myself in the car, followed by a celebratory fist pump. For a long time, I genuinely believed that I was not going to hear another new song by this band again. So when I heard the announcement of 22, A Million, it made my day. Having listened to it now, I can look back and confirm that my joy and anticipation were justified. 22, A Million is a departure in many ways from its predecessors. Whereas For Emma, Forever Ago and Bon Iver were indie rock, this album is more electronic-based and experimental. When I first heard the first single, “22 (OVER SooN),” the distressed background vocals and repeated beats struck me and took me by surprise. It was a sound that I certainly did not expect to come from the band, but I soon found that the more I listened to this track, the more I liked it. I have a similar response with the second single “33 GOD.” The emphasis on percussion meshes beautifully with the lyrics and synthetic beats overlaid atop. While much of the album does

actually echo the sounds from the band’s previous work, I also think that even the more experimental tracks like “____45_____” and “21 MooN WATER” are executed well. Both feature distorted saxophone beats that emit an ethereal vibe while emphasizing Vernon’s vocals, particularly in “____45_____.” The album closes with “00000 Million,” featuring mainly vocals and a soft piano. About halfway through, Vernon says, “I worry about shame, and I worry bout a worn path/And I wander off, just to come back home.” These lyrics sum up the band’s journey and how they have bridged this five-year gap between Bon Iver and 22, A Million. Vernon worries about potential “shame,” perhaps as the result of not choosing the “worn path” of his band’s former sound. He has also “wandered off” from the project of Bon Iver, only to come back to it. It is a touching conclusion to what I consider to be a triumphant return.

Bon Iver finally releases stunning new album, 22, A Million.

Atrocity Exhibition Danny Brown Oddball rapper Danny Brown has returned after three years with his new album Atrocity Exhibition. Past projects from the Detroit native have contained some of the most interesting production, and Atrocity Exhibition is no exception. Insanely unique production on every song lets this album explore sounds and flows that few rappers would dare to try. The lyrics make us think about Danny’s struggle with his past, drugs, success and legacy. But, the production flips back and forth between dark and light moods. Danny raps over dark, slow synthetic beats that match the content of the lyrics at the beginning, and the music soon turns into upbeat instrumentals that present Danny’s satisfaction with the struggles and misery.

The first line of the album, “I’m sweating like I’m in a rave. Been in this room for three days. Think I’m hearing voices. Paranoid and think I’m seein’ ghost-es,” paints a vivid picture of Danny’s drugfueled, secluded life and the troubles that go with it. Perhaps his best opening track to date, the production on “Downward Spiral” is the perfect mix of gloomy synths and snapping drums. The fifth track, “Lost,” gives us a Danny falling deeper into his drug habits. It’s a spooky song that, when juxtaposed with the next track, makes the transition even more impactful.“Hell for It” closes the album on a triumphant note. Combining the stories found throughout the album, Danny readdresses how hard he worked to keep himself alive when the odds were against him. This album is definitely not for the faint of heart or casual listener of hip-hop. Danny comes through with jarring lyrics, but the combination of his witty wordplay and funny punchlines make Atrocity Exhibition his best project to date.

British band The Wombats thrill Madison and embrace exhilirated audience response By Ben Golden THE DAILY CARDINAL

Last Saturday, teenagers waited anxiously as the doors of the Majestic Theatre were soon to open and feature the across-thepond band The Wombats. The long line ran down the entire block and impatience was wafting in the air. A girl sporting a “Wombats” t-shirt at the beginning of the line eagerly said to a friend, “I’ve been waiting here since 10:30 a.m.!” as the clock struck eight and the crowd filtered into the glowing doors. The night started off with the opening band Mona from Nashville. Their classic rock sound electrified the room, perfectly warming up the crowd for the main act. Lead singer Nick Brown, had an impressively powerful voice, that resonated with Jon Bon Jovi, as he gripped the microphone and reverber-

ated each note throughout the theatre. The song “Teenager” ended with an invigorating falsetto that thrilled the audience. And once they began the song “Shooting the Moon,” Brown pulled out a camera and filmed the entire performance as he dove into the crowd. Everyone was wild with excitement. After a brief break, The Wombats arrived on stage with ear-piercing screams from the audience welcoming them. They opened with their popular hit “Give Me a Try,” giving the audience a chance to join in the a cappella breaks with almost everyone in the room knowing the lyrics by heart. Their playful song “Jump Into the Fog,” brought the crowd to an energetic high, compelling them to dance and jump to the beat. “Moving to New York,” opened with impressive drumming, establishing a high-inten-

sity beat that pulsated throughout the rest of the song. The Liverpool natives’ distinct British accents came through as they took a pause between songs, exclaiming that they were getting good vibes from the charming city of “Mahdisohn.” The anthem dedicated to the past, “1996,” energized the room of millennials. The night reached its peak with the song “Pink Lemonade,” when lead singer Matthew Murphy reached a new level of emotion with a stirring falsetto, crooning about his ex being with another man. The set slowed down with a moving rendition of their song “Isabel,” before ending on a positive note with the psychedelic and vibrant “Greek Tragedy.” The Wombats emit a fun, playful and energetic sound that compliments today’s modern British pop scene. At times, it was hard to hear the music with the loud

Yet, this did not bring down the vigor of the night. The Wombats have a clearly dedicated fan base. The crowd exuded a thrilling vitality that only amplified the night’s

experience, with the music feeding off this energy and performing a dynamic show.

A guide to kinky communication: part 1

ANNA WELCH sex columnist What do you think of when you hear the terms “Kinky” or “BDSM?” Do they conjure images of dominatrixes with whips? People tied up in dungeons? Maybe our brains go to pop culture and Rihanna or “Fifty Shades of Grey.” Let’s pause and consider something else for a moment. Let’s ask ourselves, “When was the last time I had a full conversation with my

partner about my preferences in bed?” Did this conversation happen before foreplay or sex, or did I just try to give them cues as it was happening and hope they would catch my drift? As a follow-up question, besides talking about sex beforehand, when was the last time my partner and I talked about how we felt about the sex we had? What if our partners asked us how we were feeling during sex and if we wished there was anything different about it? Or if we wanted anything more from them? What if they asked us these questions not

just while we were laying next to each other post-boink, but they also followed up two weeks afterward? It’s not wrong to associate kink and BDSM with pain or dungeons, but there are a whole lot of other aspects to these terms that we don’t often consider or hear about. For starters, the fact is that kink is a community, not just a term. And beyond that, kink is a community with an extensive and healthy system of communication. All of this rhetoric describes aspects of kinky communication that don’t get as much press as the whips and chains.

The Five Marks of a Good President by: Jacob Borowsky

Well folks, election season is almost upon us. This year we have two awesome contenders for the elusive Oval Office: Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton and Republican Donald “Kingslayer” Trump, who earned his nickname for his striking resemblance to “Game of Thrones” character Jamie “Kingslayer” Lannister. If you are one of the many people who think either candidate would be awful, federalism does a decent job of stunting executive power, so fret not. Of course, it’s always preferable to have a good president like our potential new First Lady Bill Clinton was. That’s why maybe having #CrookedHillary in the White House might not be so terrible; Bill, the cunningest of men, will predictably leverage Hillary into giving him more power by threatening a divorce during election week if she does not. She will obviously give in. “What made Bill Clinton awesome?” is a question that most normal people like myself ponder a lot; thus, I developed “The Five Marks of a Good President,” a theory that has proposed the five fundamental qualities that any good president must have. The list is as follows:

A good president must be tall

Examples: Abe Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Frankln D. Roosevelt Any quality president must tower over everyone else in his presence, unless the NBA Champions are visiting the White House; in this case, he or she must be taller than all point guards and the coach. This is crucial because a good president needs to appear powerful, and height is an innately powerful asset.

A good president must be loud

Examples: Thomas Jefferson, Martin Luther King, Jr. A good president needs to be loud—so loud that at any point in time, everyone in the vicinity can hear him or her espousing rhetoric about change and liberty. It is common knowledge that Thomas Jefferson spoke six languages, so he must have done a lot of speaking, and I’ll presume based on that he spoke loudly. MLK was never president, but he did speak loudly, so one might presume he would have made a good president.

3. A good president must monopolize every conversation Examples: Barack Obama, Thomas Jefferson, Franklin D. Roosevelt In addition to speaking loudly, a good president needs to be speaking for 90 percent of any given conversation as a display of dominance. Only then will people begin to respect a president.

4. A good president must be the smartest person in the room at all times, unless he is meeting with Bill Gates or Stephen Hawking. Examples: Abe Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, John F. Kennedy Any president must be really freaking smart; the “rule of thumb” for this mark is that the president must be smart enough to perform the job of any of his or her cabinet members while sleeping, which he would, but everyone knows that the president doesn’t sleep.

5. A good president must be a functioning alcoholic. Examples: All 44 of them Of course, all good presidents must be able to pound brews like an Irish construction worker. And they all have been; 18 of the 26 presidents since 1877 have been in a fraternity (that’s 69 percent—you can’t make this up). Everyone knows the office of the president is the most stressful job in the world, so having a daily drink or 12 is only necessary for a president to do his or her job well. A candidate who fulfills these five qualities is a lock to make America great again.

Kink/BDSM is a loaded topic that can’t fit into just one article, so I’m breaking it into two! The first (this one) will focus on key terms and how kink works, and the second will break down how kinky communication can—and should— be applied to all types of sex. To understand kink we need a better definition than “rough sex.” Here is one I like from “The Ultimate Guide to Kink, BDSM, Role Play and the Erotic Edge” by Tristan Taormino: “Kink is an intimate experience, an exchange of power between people that can be physical, erotic, sexual, psychological, spiritual or, most often, some combination. I use the word kink as an all-encompassing term to describe the people, practices and communities that move beyond traditional ideas about sex to explore the edges of eroticsim. Kink is meant to include BDSM, sadomasochism, kinky sex, dominance and submission, role play, sex games, fantasy, fetish and other alternative erotic expressions.” (This great book and many others can be found in Sex Out Loud’s library in room 3143). By this definition, kink is not so much a term for a specific type of sex, but rather a term for power exchanges that often, but not always, happen during or in addition to sex. As promised, here are some key kinky terms: BDSM: This term includes a few different subcategories which are Bondage/Discipline, Dominance/ Submission and Sadism/ Masochism. Vanilla: The opposite of kink/ BDSM. For example, “Melissa and Craig enjoy having vanilla sex every Tuesday night at 9 p.m.” Play: The practice of BDSM, as in “playing with bondage” or “my play partner is so great at spanking!” Scene: When two or more people come together to do BDSM. Scenes can happen anywhere, but oftentimes in the kink/BDSM community they happen at a “play space” or dungeon. Tops, Bottoms and Switches: Tops are the “doers” in the scene. They initiate activities and actions. Bottoms are the “receivers” who follow the tops’ lead and have things done to them. Switches are people who enjoy playing both roles. People can switch during scenes, every other scene or depending on their play partner(s). As mentioned in the definition of BDSM, other common terms for “top” and “bottom” are “dominant” and “submissive.” Safe words: A lot of kinky activities are pleasurable because they involve pushing limits, whether those limits are one’s own or the limits of a playmate. Any time kinky play is happening, it is extremely important to develop a safe word or safe system. Safe words should be words that don’t naturally come up during play. For example, it can be part of play for one partner to say “stop,” so that should not be a safe word. One system that many people find works well is a stoplight system. In this system, “green” means “keep going,” “yellow” means “what you’re doing is OK, but don’t go any

further” and “red” means “stop everything right now.” Tools/toys: Tools and toys are items or body parts used during kinky play. These items can range anywhere from one’s own hands to a dildo, flogger or gag. Some toys can even be regular household items that have been converted into toys, i.e. a scarf used to tie a partner up. Limits/negotiation: Negotiating limits is a huge part of what makes kink such a great model for sexual interaction. This is when people who are going to play together take time beforehand to lay out what will be happening during the scene, what roles each person will take, what tools will or will not be used, what safety measures will be involved, how long the scene will last, among other things. In addition to deciding these things, players establish their hard and soft limits. One great way for kinksters to decide what they want to do is to make a “Yes, No, Maybe” list. This is when players find or make a list of all the activities they definitely want to do, maybe want to do if the situation is right and that they definitely do not want to do. After a list is made, a nice addition can be to go back through the “yeses” and “maybes” and mark activities with either a “N” or “W” for “I need this to enjoy the scene” and “I want this if possible.” This way everyone’s needs are well established beforehand and there is no reason anyone should have a bad scene. Aftercare: This term describes the communication that happens following a scene, from the moments directly after to any time in the future following a scene. Immediately after a scene aftercare might sound like “Do you need to sit down?” or “Would you like a glass of water?” Aftercare can also take place hours or even days after a scene. In that scenario it might sound like “Hey, I know you experienced some intense feelings during the scene, how are you feeling now?” Oftentimes bottoms experience something after an intense scene called “bottom drop” which refers to feeling low or even depressed after the intense euphoria of a scene. This is what makes aftercare so important. It is crucial for bottoms to know they are being cared for by their tops so as to remain positive about how the scene goes. There is so much to say about kink and so little space to say it, but ultimately it can be boiled down to a few takeaways. First, kink/BDSM does not equal rough sex, but rather a complex system for exchanging power erotically. Next, kinky activities need to be properly prepared for with both extensive communication and the right physical preparation. Lastly, aftercare is an essential component to kink in order to keep it healthy and pleasurable for all participants. For vanilla folks thinking, “but how can I make this about me?” Be sure to catch part two where I explain how kinky communication is for everyone, yay!

Johnson succeeds where Clinton, Trump do not JORDAN ZADRA opinion columnist

have to admit, when Donald Trump announced he was running for president, I was a bit intrigued by his candidacy. In an otherwise large and homogenous field, Trump offered the opportunity for our party to evolve. His willingness to break form with establishment figures could’ve led to a Republican platform that was more in touch with our time and better equipped to attract young voters. But as we all know, this turned out to be a fantasy. Instead, his double entendres, and ambiguous romanticizations of the past have resulted in the regression of GOP policy and the substitution of divisive rhetoric for fiscal conservatism and constitutional rights. Many prominent Republicans recognizing this issue, have shifted their support to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. But while Clinton may be a more cohesive, capable choice to lead this country, her economic policies in particular display an equally alarming trend within the Democratic Party: the use of class warfare. As Trump rails on personal freedoms, threatens to implement “stop and frisk” policing nationwide and ban immigration based on religion, liberal extremists are attacking economic freedom and vilifying the “rich.” Neither of these cases is without historical precedence. Political platforms have often reflected trends of anti-immigrant resentment. Around the turn of the 20th century, trade and labor unions were gaining prominence while sources of immigration were shifting from Nordic and Germanic countries to Ireland and Italy. Groups that represented old-immigrant, blue-collar workers in dockyards and factories devised protectionist policies that kept a quota on new immigrants and artificially inflated wages for the native population. While this was mainly an economic problem our country was facing, these solutions were not implemented because they won

economic arguments. Instead, the groups who stood to benefit from these policies utilized scare tactics and misinformation to gain the upper hand. The visibility of criminal organizations like the Irish Mob and the Italian Mafia gave economic protectionists a more tangible means of creating anti-immigrant resentment by generalizing a peaceful and hardworking majority with the actions of a few. High profile cases against immigrants also fueled this fire. In 1932, the son of famous aviator and former UW-Madison student Charles Lindbergh was kidnapped from his bedroom and found murdered months later. A German immigrant was found with the ransom money, and convicted and executed for the “crime of the century.” This incident, like many others in its time, was a flash point of anti-immigrant rhetoric. Today we are witnessing history come dangerously close to repeating itself. A globalist economy presents many new opportunities, but is not without its challenges. We’re also bearing the downsides of automation, which has taken away far more jobs than Latin American immigrants. And spurned on by fear over fact, many politicians are asking Americans to turn in their freedom for security against a threat that doesn’t exist. On the other side of the political spectrum, we are seeing another familiar trend. As people are hurt by an economic recession and other factors of continued economic distress, they are assigning blame to those who haven’t been affected, or haven’t been affected as severely as they have. This anti-capitalist backlash is also being manipulated for political purposes. Fifty-eight percent of individuals aged 18-24 hold a favorable view of socialism, the only age group where socialism is more favorable than not. This trend is often exacerbated by lies and other divisive tactics. Recently, an instructor of an ethnic studies class at UW-Madison alleged that “racism is at the heart of capitalism” and used

the Uncle Tom epithet to explain how President Barack Obama perpetuates white supremacy. While less reminiscent of historical prejudices than Trump’s campaign, this new method of attacking market economics while sowing seeds of racial hate at the same time is equally dangerous to America’s future. I’m not offering this criticism as an indomitable defense of capitalism or laissez-faire policies. In many cases, law and regulation is necessary to subdue human greed and immoral behavior. But there has yet to be a system created that is more fair, equitable, or sustainable than the free market. It is also the only economic system that complies with the Constitution or the concept of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” In the past, the U.S. has survived internal attacks on its personal and economic freedoms, but at few junctures in our history have both of these freedoms come under attack at the same time from both of our political parties. Fortunately, there is another person running for President of the United States, and while I am realistic about the chances of a third-party candidate winning the election, I can’t deny the fact that Gary Johnson is the only candidate still in this race who believes in the core tenancies of American freedom. I can’t endorse all of Johnson’s ideas; I don’t believe hard drugs should be legal, and rather than just repeal Social Security and Medicare, I would replace it with a negative income tax. But if you want to keep living in a country where we reward those who work harder and smarter, and you are free to make decisions about your own body, family and religion, then Johnson may just be our last chance.

Keeping up with current events outside the Madison community can give us a better understanding of what is happening locally.

Informed media consumption is essential to everyone’s daily life LILLY HANSON opinion columnist

ecently it seems like more and more events happening in the news are connected with each other. Of course Jennifer Aniston flying to New York to get away from Los Angeles has a direct correlation to the heartbreaking split of celebrity couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. But one can also see the relationship between the case of rapist Brock Turner and the portrayal of women in the media or another example would be the mall shooting in St. Cloud, Minn., and the recent Washington state mall shooting. While one could choose to ignore the ties that connect news story to news story, it is necessary for one to see the woven strings that unite stories to understand what the most important issue is. I’m not alluding that all events of the world can be connected together to create one of those Pinterest nail string art crafts (which never turn out like the pictures), but I am saying that there are some things happening in the world right now that are bound together for a reason. And we, as Americans and as intellectual beings, are forgetting to see the importance of these events. It has become the norm for individuals to post and share their opinions on Facebook along with the newest article of the outlet they follow. While it is important to remain updated on the events happening throughout the world, realizing why these events are happening is not stressed enough. So continue to post the videos explaining how Donald Trump is a better candidate or how marijuana will help students focus in lecture, but don’t forget to include why these events are important and how they connect to other events. More importantly, how do they connect to our lives? Every day thousands of events happen around the world, and it

can seem hard to read every news source’s take on why these events should be noticed. As a college student balancing school with social life and work, along with everything else, it can be hard to set time aside to read each 500-word news story. On top of that, it can be hard to reflect how the event might impact your life. It’s pretty easy to get caught up in the “collegiate bubble”—meaning, you stop paying attention to everything outside your college town—but what is happening outside in the world is what is going to impact us tomorrow, a week from now and even years from now. By being an active citizen, one must try to make the connections to see how they fit into the world but also how the world fits together. By becoming more informed media consumers we are able to draw conclusions in our own lives. Maybe after reading about the election you are able to bring more to the table in your political science discussion class; or by perusing the business section you can make a better decision of which new cell phone to buy. It can be such a small difference such as being able to talk about something more than “who made out with who” at a party and instead questioning whether athletes should be able to stand while the national anthem is played. I’m not saying that one should invest in a subscription to every news source from The Capital Times to The New York Times, but I am saying that as educated students of UW-Madison, we should keep track of trends in the news to become a well-informed generation and stronger, more valuable citizens. Lilly is a junior majoring in journalism and communication arts. Do you agree that people need to be more informed media consumers? Send all comments and concerns to opinion@dailycardinal.com.

Men’s Hockey

Close, but no cigar: Missed opportunities will haunt Badgers By Thomas Valtin-Erwin The Daily Cardinal

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Jazz Peavy made one quick head fake to the middle of the field before planting his left foot and breaking out toward the sideline. Channing Stribling, riding right on the redshirt junior receiver’s hip, took the bait and tried to jump inside to cut off the passing window. Stribling kicked his own feet trying to get back to the outside and toppled over, stranded prostrate in the middle of nowhere. Peavy was all alone 30 yards downfield during a 7-7 game between two heavyweights. Alex Hornibrook had a clean pocket. His offensive line had been shaky all night, but on this throw, he had all the time in the world. He let it fly and 110,000 fans held their breath. The ball hung in the air for an eternity, but still not nearly long enough for Peavy to get under it. The pigskin landed harmlessly a few yards ahead of him, and Wisconsin punted three plays later. “That was obviously not a great throw by me,” Hornibrook said. “Jazz ran a great route and got open and I just couldn’t come through on that one.” It was the story of the night for the redshirt freshman quarterback. After a spectacular starting debut a week prior against Michigan State, Hornibrook couldn’t find the touch on his deep ball, and those missed opportunities doomed the Badgers. “I see that as my strength and I couldn’t take advantage

of those,” he continued. “There were a lot of passes we could have had and that could have changed the scoreboard, could have changed our momentum, but we couldn’t complete.” And that was exactly it. Peavy’s corner route should have ended 77 yards later with 11 red jerseys celebrating in the end zone, but instead it turned into just one of nine punts for UW. Two quarters earlier, on the Badgers’ first drive, George Rushing had a step on his defender down the right sideline, but it took an acrobatic pass breakup by Rushing to save an interception. Just a little more air under the pass and UW might have had six. The pocket wasn’t quite as clean for Hornibrook on that play, but again, a big opportunity went by the wayside and the Badgers punted on the next play. The plays were there to be made all night. But each time UW had a guy in position to score, Hornibrook’s ball was just a little long, a little short, or a little wide. “It’s not like we couldn’t get anything going,” he said. “We had chances to, we just didn’t [convert] … We give credit to them, but definitely feel like we could have taken advantage of some opportunities.” In a one-score game, a couple of inches here and there can make all the difference. If Hornibrook completed that deep ball to Peavy, the Badgers likely would have gone into the fourth quarter up a touchdown. Regardless, in the toughest stretch of UW’s schedule,

Hornibrook won’t let a few bad passes throw him off his game. Michigan fields one of the stiffest defenses in the nation, and yet he found open spots all over the field. “They’re a great team, a great defense, give credit to them,” Hornibrook said. “There’s no time to get down on yourself at the end of the game … we had another opportunity to get a drive and win the game, but we just couldn’t finish.” The bye week couldn’t have come at a better time for the Badgers, as they prepare to host No. 2 Ohio State under the lights of Camp Randall in two weeks. The Buckeyes are rolling right now, and held Oklahoma’s superstar quarterback Baker Mayfield to the worst performance of his career. But we’ve seen what Hornibrook can do when he’s firing on all cylinders. Even during a rough night in Ann Arbor, he showed glimpses of magnificence. He snuck a beauty into the hands of Dare Ogunbowale on a wheel route that resulted in the Badgers’ only touchdown of the night. There are flashes of NFL talent when Hornibrook is in the backfield. There are passes made that haven’t been seen at Wisconsin since Russell Wilson was in Madison five years ago. Big-time players live for bigtime moments, and a night game against an archrival at home is a big-time moment. With the college football world watching, Alex Hornibrook will make his third career start in the biggest game of his life.

Wisconsin had plenty of chances to upset No. 4 Michigan on the road, but failed to capitalize offensively. The defense stood tall against the Wolverines, but the offense did not do its part.

Captain Luke Kunin and the rest of the Badgers are driven by a desire to impress their new superstar coaching staff.

Ready to eat: Badgers look to impress with their hunger for success By Ethan Levy The Daily Cardinal

Whether in sports or in life, no one can understate the importance of a good first impression. As the puck dropped to open up the Badger men’s hockey team’s 2016 campaign, that fact was never clearer. With a new team and a new coaching staff, every minute on the ice was in service of that—forming a good impression. In their preseason exhibition game at the Kohl Center, Wisconsin ultimately claimed a 10-1 victory over the Victoria Vikes of the British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League. With 10 goals and plenty more chances, the Badgers definitely impressed many in terms of their skill and speed. Still, the long lasting impression that is much more significant to the Badgers is simple: This team is hungry and ready for success. “That’s the theme I think you saw tonight, through the 60 minutes, we didn’t stop working,” new head coach Tony Granato said about his team’s drive, even against a lesser opponent in a blowout effort. “When you’re leading the game and you’re playing a team like that, you can get a little bit lazy and bad habits come into play. I didn’t see any bad habits, and I didn’t see us stop working.” Nevertheless, in a game as lopsided as that, it is difficult to tell where the Badgers stand in comparison to their normal level of competition. The Badgers turned some pucks over and took an astonishing seven penalties against a group that is objectively slower then upcoming opponents like Boston College, Denver or really anyone else that they will play this year. “You were anxious, you were trying to make an impression on your coach, trying to make an impression on your fans,”

Granato said. “So sometimes you play a little too aggressively. A couple of those penalties were probably that situation.” This impression not only resonated with Granato and the UW fans, but was just as evident to their opponents on the ice. Specifically, after the game, Vikes head coach Harry Schamhart said that he thought he saw a really hungry group that had a point to prove to their new coaching staff. “I think that’s pretty accurate by their coach,” Granato said. “I told him after the game, ‘you ran into a team that was ready to play. We’ve been waiting for this game for a long time.’” For the players on the ice, it will take time to develop the chemistry and strategy it takes to field a competitive team—it’s even currently taking years for the Badgers to regain their previous competitiveness. Still, even though developing a team is not instantaneous, the fastest way to get there is to be driven every time the skate blades hit the ice. “You know, after the last few seasons here, we’re just hungry to not lose and to be winners,” sophomore center and captain Luke Kunin said after the game. “It showed tonight, and I think that’s gonna carry on to the rest of the season.” This first impression does carry weight, despite this contest being a seemingly meaningless preseason game against an inferior opponent. “It doesn’t mean a lot. You don’t get any points in the standings. We don’t go up in the rankings,” Granato said, “but what it does, it gives us a good feeling.” The Badgers can only look ahead, but they look ahead with hunger. This team looks ready to feast.
