Walker administration settles case on Capitol protest permitting By Jack Casey the daily cardinal
Protesters choosing to assemble in the state Capitol will no longer be bound by permit restrictions after a lawsuit regarding the controversial Capitol assembly permitting rules ended in a settlement Tuesday. Two protesters, including University of Wisconsin-Madison professor Michael Kissick, brought the federal case against the Wisconsin Department of Administration with the help of the American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin. The lawsuit challenged the DOA’s administrative rules requiring groups of four or more people to obtain an assembly permit from the DOA before gathering in the state Capitol. A preliminary decision from U.S. District Court Judge William Conley issued in July
increased the necessary number to 20 or more people. Soon after the decision, the Capitol Police began arresting members of the Solidarity Singers, a group of singing protesters, because the group refused to obtain a permit for its gatherings in the Capitol rotunda. The arrests culminated in a contentious stretch between July and September where protesters faced off with Capitol Police over what protesters said was their First Amendment freedom to assemble. Tuesday’s settlement would change the process for assembling to only require the groups to notify the DOA two days before a group of 12 or more plans to assemble in the Capitol. All groups of less than 12 would not be required give advance notice, but everyone who plans to assemble still could apply for a permit. Mike Huebsch, the DOA sec-
retary, said in a statement the settlement represents the DOA’s efforts to maintain the Capitol as a place of business. “The permit process has been repeatedly upheld as constitutional by the courts, and today’s settlement demonstrates ACLU’s agreement with the process as well,” Huebsch said in the statement. “We have taken reasonable steps to ensure all visitors and citizens can enjoy our beautiful Capitol building, and I’m hopeful we can all move forward together.” ACLU Legal Director Larry Dupuis said the settlement is a “victory” for protesters because it imposes a less restrictive notice process. “This settlement halts the state’s unwarranted punishment of individuals who gather inside the Capitol to exercise their free speech rights,” Dupuis said in the statement.
Legislation to increase state landlord rights moves on to Senate A bill that critics say would further skew the relationship between landlords and tenants passed through the state Assembly Tuesday despite adamant Democratic opposition. The state Senate bill is a rewritten version of a bill that was first introduced in the state Assembly and would attempt to make a uniform landlord tenant law in Wisconsin. The bill comes in opposition to Madison representatives who support a local government’s, such as Madison’s, rights to control rental laws. If the bill were to pass, landlords would no longer need to provide renters, including student renters, with an itemized list of the reasons for security deposit deductions. Tenants could also face eviction if a crime were to be committed on the rental property, or could have their personal things taken without warning if they are evicted. Democratic state representatives took turns speaking on the state Assembly floor Tuesday, condemn-

The over-four-year initiative to create a College of the Arts was dropped in the spring, replaced by a plan that would revamp the Art Institute instead, University Committee Chair Michael Bernard-Donals said at a Faculty Senate meeting Monday. The college would have brought together arts programs housed in different University of Wisconsin-Madison schools into one unit with a single dean. School of Music Assistant Director Benjamin Schultz said the new proposal brought forward in the wake of ending the College of the Arts would reorganize the Art Institute, where representatives from arts departments across campus currently assemble to promote cross-department collaboration and discuss issues such as financial support for arts students. Multiple factors played a role in the decision to call an end to the College of the Arts, Schultz said. For example, several arts departments voted to decline joining the proposed college. “There wasn’t enough unification between the arts departments on campus,” Schultz said. The School of Music was one
of the programs that decided not to join the proposed college, although Schultz himself did not vote on the matter. Some of the contention within the School of Music came from music academics who believed their research needs were best served by staying in the College of Letters and Science, faculty senator and music professor James Doing told The Daily Cardinal in April. Professors of different departments were also worried about the financial burden of creating a new college with its own dean, Schultz said. A May 2012 proposal said the College of the Arts would have cost $2,635,000 in addition to money that would have been transferred to the college from the participating departments and programs. “Many people felt that money could be used elsewhere in support of students and departments that currently exist,” Schultz said. In the end, Schultz said, faculty on both sides were trying to decide how to most effectively serve students. “These different professors and faculty members, they do have the best interest of the students at heart,” Schultz said. “They want them to experience the arts as much as they can.”

Hipsters hone talent, haters michael voloshin voloshin’s commotion
J
ustin Timberlake’s album, 20/20 Experience, was a critical success and return to form for one of pop music’s premier entertainers. JT’s album did well with critics, long-time fans, teenage girls, twenty-something women, older women, really older women and Elliot, who hates everything. But there was one group of people who loved the album and surprised everyone else, and that was the hipsters. Now, the hipsters are a rambunctious bunch. Take some ’60s punk, add in some ’80s irony, multiply by 2000s boredom and subtract all the cool parts to get your average hipster. At this point I should tell you all I’m probably a hipster. No, I don’t have a tattoo arm-sleeve or work at a coffee shop because those are gross stereotypes, and I’ll have none of that (just kidding). But my propen-
sity of knowing what’s new and interesting in music can be viewed negatively by the public. Really? Trying to know what’s new in music is bad? Says who? Well, let’s go to the website that best represents the popular crowd in new media: BuzzFeed. (I know, I know, I’m making fun of BuzzFeed for the second time in the same month; I promise I will stop once I see an article that doesn’t use a sleepy cat GIF.) One BuzzFeed commenter posted, “This is the problem that happens when those of hipster mentality have to put a stupid fucking label on everything. It’s music. Like her or don’t, those are your choices,” on an article about whether Lorde is an alternative artist. Wow, thanks “Top Commenter Ray.” I’m sure that title is on your resume with three stars around it. Excuse me, Ray, but it’s not just music, it’s a way of life. And we need labels—how else can I describe John Wizards to you unless I say it’s a South-African semi-electronic, traditionalist Afrikaans band? Ray, you and your hateful views on hipsters are keeping many of us in hiding.
We’re like Punxsutawney Phil for the 364 days of the year that no one cares about the awful city he’s from (I’m just assuming it’s awful because it’s in Pennsylvania). Your bigoted views of the twisted minds of hipsters are ruining America, and I can prove it (maybe, probably not, you should probably stop reading right now, this is the apex). My simple case for hipsters: Hipsters improve popular music. My more complicated case: With the increased segmentation of musical genres, hipsters do their part by uncovering what, below the spectrum music, is worthy of increased listenership, thus bringing talent to the forefront of mainstream America (holy fuck why can’t I write like that for any of my English papers). Let’s bring this back to Justin Timberlake. People were surprised the hipster community (with its spirit animals, Pitchfork and Vibe) enjoyed and gave such high remarks to a mainstream pop album. But the thing about hipsters is they mostly don’t care who the artist is, where they’re from or who listens to them as long as it’s
good. Within hipsterdom, talent rules, and that search for talent benefits the uninformed. Here’s a scenario: You’re a 14-year-old girl so you still listen to commercial radio (inbetween the time you spend tweeting at Justin Beiber and watching documentaries about pop stars in 3-D), and after the third hour of listening to KISS FM, you get a little bored from hearing the same Rihanna song about getting STDs or some shit for the fourth time. You’re still too young to understand payola scale and how major labels (illegally) pay radio stations to play their songs over and over again. But alas, KISS decides to play a plucky unsigned rapper with an infectious song and a killer music video and you see the light again. Do you know who brought this wingless angel to the suits making decisions? Hipsters, that’s who. And white people that don’t actually like hip-hop, but that’s for another day. Do you feel the same victimization of hipsters as Michael? Email him to complain, bro, at mvoloshin@wisc.edu.

Surviving exams, papers, projects, oh my! Rachel schulze rache jam
M
idterms. Papers. Projects. Group projects. How many major assignments and exams are on your schedule this week? If you responded to that question with an agonized groan, a sleep-deprived weep or an animal-like grunt, you may be looking for a place to go to buckle down and study. But where to go? If your schedule looks like mine, you’re probably pretty busy stress eating Oreos or banging your head on your desk right about now. So, to put off doing a mountain of poli-sci reading—errr, I mean, to save you the trouble of thinking up potential destinations—I’ve made this list weighing the pros and cons of the top study spots around campus.
Stop by a Daily Cardinal recruitment meeting Helen C. White/College Library Friday, Sept. & 27 Pros: College has 13 everything. Need to crank out 4 a p.m. 10-page paper in one night? Head to the quiet room. Want tell yourself 2195 toVilas Hall. you’re going to study when you
really just want to play M.A.S.H. and make cootie catchers with friends? Scout out a nice big table in the Open Book Cafe. Cons: All the “pros” I just listed? Everyone knows them and flocks to College. As a result, your trip to College will go like this: After wasting 20 minutes unsuccessfully foraging for a spot close to some outlets, you relegate yourself to a table near the trash, where you will spend the next five hours exchanging judgey glares with a stranger as you inhale Subway smell through one nostril and garbage-can wretch through the other.
Memorial Library Cages
Pros: Isolating yourself in a dimly lit metal box probably eliminates a lot of distractions. It can also be nice to have the space to yourself. Cons: You are alone in a dimly lit metal box.
Coffee shop on State Street
Pros: You can enjoy a nice, hot drink as you plug away at your assignment. Plus, if you end up at the right location, the shop might play music that no one’s heard of, which will make you feel really cool while you study.
Cons: LOLSIKE CAFFEINE OVERLOAD!11!! COHERENTSENTENCES R4LZRS!!!111!! Also, after three songs, that indie singer starts to sound like a mopey goose.
Coffee shop on Monroe Street
Same as above, except everyone around you is over 40.
Memorial Union
Pros: Memorial Union is comfy and homey. You can get yourself a tray of cheese curds and settle down in the Rathskeller by the fire…. It’s just so cozy…. Cons: If you come on the wrong day, you might not be able to hear your own thoughts over the sound of—TOUCHDOOOWN GREEEEEN BAAAY—a blaring sports broadcast.
Union South
Pros: The building is new, shiny and spacious. You can find everything in there. Need to use a computer? Use a big-screen Mac. Looking for a snack? Why not treat yourself to a juicy burger? Want to bowl while you study? Perfect! You’re in the right place. Cons: Union South’s sprawling options can turn into endless
distractions that take my mind off of work. It’s not that I’m not interested in writing my geology lab report about the pet rock I’m raising in class. However, the thought of scaling a climbing wall then eating a plate of nachos before going to see a free movie does have a certain appeal.
Steenbock
Pros: This Lakeshore library is kind of like a less crowded version of College. It’s furnished with the same study stuff—big tables, group rooms, industrial-grade printers—but due to a lower traffic volume, the place seems less gross. This means your chances of contracting pink eye while studying are probably half what they would be at College. Cons: Steenbock is out past Ag Hall, so unless you live on Lakeshore, getting there can be kind of an odyssey. But silver lining? Once you’re out there, you’ll be inclined to stay for a while to make the trek worth it. Let Rachel know what you thought of this list by meeting her at College to make cootie catchers later tonight. Or send her an email at rmschulze@ dailycardinal.com.

Bill Maher makes 100,000 calls about UW cat research Stand-up comedian and television host Bill Maher called more than 100,000 Madison-area numbers Tuesday to warn University of Wisconsin-Madison students, faculty and the Madison community about alleged animal cruelty in campus research labs, according to a press release from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Maher, who is scheduled to speak at the Overture Center for the Arts Oct. 13, pre-recorded a voice message in which he says cats have had holes drilled in their skulls and metal coils implanted in their eyes, and researchers have cut off cats’ ears and starved them. “Many things in life are funny,
but cruelty to animals isn’t one of them,” Maher said in the message. “I want to make sure you know about the terrible things done to cats right here at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.” But the university said in a statement Tuesday the claims have no factual basis and said PETA’s repeated animal cruelty claims are “unsubstantiated” and “false.” “The facts tell us that the research in question is important, was conducted appropriately and humanely, and will lead to a better understanding of hearing and technologies to address hearing loss,” the university said in the statement.
PETA initially made animal cruelty allegations against the university in September 2012, which led to investigations by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the National Institutes of Health, both of which found no major violations. A six-month investigation by the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare into a UW-Madison experiment found no violations in the university’s use of cats in sound localization, but the organization recommended the university do more to control infection in lab environments and improve cleaning methods in surgical areas. —Sarah Olson

Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, discusses UW student bus pass prices and State Street programming at a city budget meeting Tuesday.
Metro Transit could increase UW student bus pass prices By Emmett Mottl the daily cardinal
The city continued its discussion of the 2014 city budget Tuesday at a Board of Estimates meeting, which consists of Mayor Paul Soglin and city alders, who heard proposals by city departments, including Metro Transit and the City Planning Committee. Chuck Kamp, the Metro Transit general manager, mentioned during his presentation that failure to increase funding to Metro Transit could result in higher costs for University of Wisconsin-Madison student bus passes, provided by Associated Students of Madison, and Madison College bus passes. Metro Transit’s budgetary concerns stem from fleet fuel costs, which are currently targeted at $3 per gallon, according to city Finance Director David Schmiedicke. In order to meet the funding of the proposed budget, Kamp considered the need to raise fees associated with unlimited student ride passes. “We listed, in our exercise to reach the mayor’s target, targeted fare increases on the unlimited ride program with UW, with Madison College, Edgewood, etc.,” Kamp said. The ASM student bus pass prices are currently locked in until August 2014, although there is one
landlords from page 1 ing the bill as a “bad idea” and a piece of legislation that “punishes individuals for being renters.” State Rep. Chris Taylor, D-Madison, who represents a large number of University of Wisconsin-Madison students said the bill is “patently unfair to tenants” and has previously said the bill could hurt student renters, many of whom are renting for the first time.
additional option year available. The security of transfer points was also a point of debate during the meeting. According to Kamp, the department has a target of $100,000 for safety spending, and the current proposed budget offers most of that funding. Kamp also mentioned Metro Transit is trying to avoid reductions in bus services in the city, such as having to cut certain routes. The Planning Committee, which is responsible for the management of State Street initiatives, including the chalkboards on Library Mall and the proposed installment of movable tables and chairs, does not face any severe cuts in the proposed budget. The Planning Committee’s presentation focused on the creation of a salaried cultural resources planner, whose responsibility would include organizing programming on State Street. Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, questioned the creation of the position in the current budget, and suggested starting with an hourly position instead. Verveer also mentioned creating a possible partnership with State Street businesses to fund the purposed position. The Board of Estimates will continue to discuss the city’s budget and ultimately submit it to the Common Council for approval in November. “This bill stacks the deck against most people in the state of Wisconsin,” Taylor said while speaking on the floor. State Republicans did not discuss the bill before it passed 57-37, except for a brief answer by the bill’s author Rep. Duey Stroebel, R-Saukville, to a pointed Democratic question about the crime provision. The bill was sent back to the state Senate. —Jack Casey

Sau Lan Wu, who led the UW-Madison research team, is a professor in the UW-Madison physics department.
Physicists receive Nobel Prize for Higgs boson discovery, aided by UW Two theoretical physicists received the 2013 Nobel Prize for Physics Tuesday for their discovery of the Higgs boson particle, to which University of Wisconsin-Madison research teams made significant contributions, according to a university news release. Peter Higgs and François Englert predicted the existence of the particle, which is central to the process by which matter has mass, nearly 50 years ago, according to the release. Creating the Higgs boson requires the collision of pro-
tons at very high energies. UW-Madison research, led by physicists Sau Lan Wu and Wesley Smith, played a crucial role in developing the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, which is located near Geneva, Switzerland, the release said. Their work led researchers to discover the particle in July 2012. Also, UW-Madison computer scientist Miron Livny led the ongoing intensive data analysis required to find the particle, using principles he pioneered while working on campus, according to the release.
Raiola will not face disciplinary action from the Lions organization or the National Football League for his homophobic and misogynistic slurs directed at the UW-Madison Marching Band during a Green Bay Packers game Oct. 6. Raiola also released a statement through the Lions detailing his apology. “My interaction with the Wisconsin Marching Band was inappropriate. I apologize to those I offended along with all of the members of Wisconsin’s Marching Band,” Raiola said in the statement. “I also apologize to the Lions’ organization and my teammates. I understand the standards to which we should conduct ourselves, and my actions Sunday fell dramatically short of those standards.” In a statement released with Raiola’s, Lions President Tom Lewand expressed satisfaction with Raiola’s apology and donation. “After investigating the matter and discussing Sunday’s events with Dominic, we are pleased that he has taken ownership of his actions and admitted those actions were wrong and unacceptable,” Lewand said in a statement. “Due to Dominic’s sincere and appropriate response, there will be no additional disciplinary action by the team.” Raiola had been unapologetic for his actions in two past incidents with fans involving obscene language and hand gestures. He received a $7,500 fine in 2008 for an incident with Minnesota Vikings fans and a $15,000 fine in 2010 for an incident with Miami Dolphins fans. —Jack Baer
UW alumnus appointed as new Langdon area police officer Following the fast track Landgon neighborhood officers frequently ride up the ranks of the Madison Police Department, officer Grant Humerickhouse will hand over patrol of the Greek community and surrounding area after approximately three years to up-and-coming officer Shawn Kelly in order to accept a detective promotion in November, according to MPD Lt. Dave McCaw.
McCaw said Kelly, a 2001 University of WisconsinMadison graduate, has been “one of those go-to guys” on the downtown circuit the past few years, and he expects Kelly will be the same in Langdon. Partly, McCaw said, because Kelly requested the transfer. “If he didn’t like to deal with students, he’d be working some other district,” McCaw said. “Clearly this
is going to be a passion for him.” Kelly is familiar with the constant issues police experience in and around the Langdon area, such as overconsumption and residential burglaries, according to McCaw, who said Kelly “will come through” on the expectations of the Langdon neighborhood beat officer, such as working with students and landlords to “[solve] things before they happen.”

Ditch the diet By Samantha Silverman The Daily Cardinal
“I need to go on a diet,” you say. “I’m starting my diet… tomorrow.” The word “diet” is used so frequently that it has lost its meaning. On a regular basis adults and teenagers are insisting they need to go on a diet, but that most certainly is not true. People use the word to refer to losing weight by restricting what they are eating. This should not always be the case. As fashion week has recently ended, we have watched the skinny models walk down the runway, strutting the latest trends and styles. It is these images that make us feel insecure, requiring us to “diet.” According to MerriamWebster’s dictionary, diet can be defined as “a food and drink regularly provided or consumed,” or “habitual nourishment.” In no way does this definition include depriving our bodies of particular foods. So why is it that men and women alike consider this deprivation to be a diet? I understand, as a college student— with a lingering nose for the delicious smells that surround me as I walk down State Street— you’re incredibly tempted to order that cup of ice cream. “We are, afterall, in the dairy state. And it’s only a size small,” we convince ourselves. I’m here to tell you to have that cup of ice cream, and embrace the smells with moderation. The key to maintaining a healthy body and a healthy diet lies within moderation. So, if you do want that ice cream, go for it! Just try and limit yourself to dessert or ice cream only two or three times a week at most. It’ll be a special treat to look forward to, and will not create unnecessary sugars in your body.
While we all know that many portions at restaurants are often times too large, it still doesn’t stop us from scrapping up the last bit of ketchup with the last lonely french fry. Dieting doesn’t mean you can’t finish your dish, or you can’t eat the french fries. Instead, try resting half way through your meal. This does not mean that you won’t finish your meal. Simply give your body time to digest. You may find that you are more full than you thought. And if not, you can keep eating at a moderate pace. Eat those fruits and veggies! While you may not like the taste of some of them, try to experiment with new fruits and vegetables you haven’t tried. A great place to explore this is the Saturday morning Farmer’s Market at the Capitol. Vendors line the streets with tents filled with freshly grown fruits and vegetables. And remember the deeper the color the deeper the nutrients. In other words, choose vegetables and fruits in a variety of colors. This will allow you to gain all the vitamins and minerals that you need, making you not as hungry for those snacks later on in the day. You may be thinking these tips are too simple and that your body will not change. However, if you stick to moderation rather than depriving yourself of the nutrients that you need, you will find yourself feeling healthier instantly. No longer will you need to use the word “diet.” Instead you will maintain a healthy lifestyle rather than maintaining an unhealthy diet. And don’t forget to get outside and walk around! After all, walking is the best exercise you can do. Need any more advice on how to ditch the diet? Email Samantha with your questions, concerns and comments at srsilverman@wisc.edu.
Making festive food fun for everyone By Courtney Pelot The Daily Cardinal
Hosting a Halloween get together or just want some cute ideas for festive food? Don’t fret— I’ve got you covered. I’ve compiled a list of easy treats and clever ways to add a bit of spookiness to your next meal. Mummy Dogs Buy a container of crescent rolls and a package of hot dogs. Take a hot dog, the “body,” and wrap a crescent roll around it to make it appear as the mummy’s wrappings. Lay your mummy’s on a baking sheet and put in the oven at 350 degrees for about 13 minutes. For the eyes, add 2 drops of ketchup. Fall Hugs This easy treat is perfect to munch on while studying! Purchase a bag of Hershey hugs, candy corn and pretzels, preferably the square ones. Arrange the pretzels on a baking sheet. Top each pretzel with a hug. Place in the oven at 350 degrees until the chocolate is just melted to the pretzel. Take the pan out of the oven and top each snack with a piece of candy corn.
Candy Corn Cupcakes Bake a batch of vanilla cupcakes and prepare a bowl of vanilla frosting. Separate the frosting into three bowls. Add food coloring to make one bowl yellow, one orange and leave the last one white. Fill a piping bag with each of the three frosting colors. To make the frosting appear as candy corn, squeeze yellow frosting on top of the cupcake. Next, squeeze orange frosting on the yellow in a slightly smaller circle. Add a dab of white frosting on top. For extra cute cupcakes, bake your cupcakes in festive wrappers that have pumpkins or ghosts on them! Candy Corn Fruit Cup For a healthier option, you just need pineapple chunks, mandarin oranges and some whipped cream or low fat cool whip. In a mini, clear cup, place a layer of pineapple. Next, add a spoonful of mandarin oranges. On top of your fruit, squeeze some whipped cream or a dollop of cool whip. For an added bit of sweetness, toss a few pieces of candy corn on top. Have anymore festive food ideas for Courtney? Email her at cpelot@wisc.edu.

Enjoy the fall trends By Aleesha Halbach The Daily Cardinal
There is no doubt about it: Fall is upon us! The leaves are starting to turn wonderful shades of orange, yellow and red. The air has become crisp, chilly and refreshing. Apple orchards are buzzing with people, pies and pumpkins. In addition to all of this new and welcomed change, the season of fall invites us to bring some new pieces into our wardrobe. These five easy, manageable pieces will have you looking stylish throughout the season, and will become your go-to pieces for fall seasons to come! Boots They can be booties, ankle boots, or riding boots. Whichever you choose, they can quickly become a staple in your wardrobe. Look for boots in neutral tones such as black, brown, cognac or cordovan to maximize wear. They can be easily styled with a boot sock over leggings, tucked into a skinny jean or paired with tights and a skirt. Regardless of how you style them, boots are an ideal way to polish an outfit. They are perfect for walking to the Saturday morning farmers market, or sprinting to get that early morning cup of coffee before class! Chunky Knits They can be cardigans, crew-necks or cowl-necks! All of these choices are wonderful to incorporate into your fall wardrobe. Not only is it easy to throw on a sweater, but it is also a comfy choice for a Sunday in the library or meeting friends for coffee. Longer cardigans can be paired with leggings, crew necks can be worn over an oxford shirt for a more
put together look and all knits are a perfect complement to boots! Chambray Shirt Investing in a chambray or denim shirt can be one of the best decisions you make this fall. This shirt can be worn all throughout the year, but is perfect in the fall for layering. It can be styled on its own with a statement necklace or can be paired under your favorite sweater. Either way, this shirt will be an easy, go-to piece in your wardrobe. The chambray is also very versatile in that it can be worn with any wash of jeans, paired with a chino pant, worn with a maxi skirt or worn over leggings. Oxblood Skinnies Although this deep, rich wine color pant may be a fad, it encompasses everything fall. It’s warm hue quickly pulls together a fall look. This color is also easily styled since it is so close to a neutral, and it can really work with anything. Look for this color in denim or chino pant, either is a great choice. Warm Scarves Scarves, being one of the easiest accessories, can be thrown on to create an instant outfit. A scarf is versatile for anyone, and is a perfect addition to your wardrobe this fall. It is a necessity for keeping cozy on those crisp days autumn days, but can also be carried into the bitter days of winter. While each item is great on its own, you can pair them together for an instant, chic fall outfit. Each piece will complement you and the upcoming fall season. Happy Fall! Have any style questions?

ave you recently gotten out of a relationship and wondered when the time would come when you would be completely over them? Well here are the top 10 signs you have moved on: 1.

You can have your s’mores all year round and eat them too By Cassie Sterwald The Daily Cardinal
Summer is officially over, meaning no more bonfires and no more of the famous campfire treat, s’mores. Luckily, I’ve found some simple s’mores recipes to help get me through fall, winter and spring. S’mores Trail Mix This is a simple snack with all the great flavors of a s’more and is quick to make. I mix Golden Grahams Cereal, honey flavored Teddy Grahams, chocolate chips, Hershey’s Drops and mini marshmallows in a big bowl. You can add whatever you want in any quantities. Just make sure you get a bit of everything in your handfuls!
S’mores Dip I’ve made this dip before and it does taste exact like a s’more. It’s a simple recipe to bring s’mores to you throughout the year, without a campfire or the mess! Ingredients: 1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips 1/2 cup marshmallow cream graham crackers for serving In a microwavable bowl, melt the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk on high for about 1-2 minutes or until the
chocolate chips are completely melted. Stir it every 30 seconds. Spread onto whichever dish you wish to serve the dip in. Drop the marshmallow cream randomly over the chocolate mixture and microwave on high for about 30 seconds or until it is softened. Swirl in the marshmallow throughout the chocolate mixture, creating a marbled appearance. Serve with graham crackers for dipping! Are your tastebuds wanting more?

opinion Maybe nothing is better left unsaid Haleigh amant opinion editor
I
wish every student on campus could have seen this; gay, straight, black, white, Hispanic, Asian. Everyone. I am not in a minority group, unless we can still consider women as a minority, which maybe we can in some instances (though, thank God, I think that generation is dying off). Never have I felt so lucky and full of opportunity during my years at a university. Jonathan Rauch, a well known journalist, activist and writer of “Kindly Inquisitors” came to lecture in my First Amendment class Tuesday. Never have I felt so enlightened, free from ignorance and more eager to share this with every single person on this campus, hell every person in the United States, if my opinion could reach that far, maybe even the world. This topic is not an easy one, in fact it is one with very blurry lines. It is the topic of free speech with regard to minorities and hate speech. Jonathan Rauch asked us what lines should be drawn? Should we have laws and speech codes that prohibit hateful speech? Rauch, an open homosexual, says no. Before you get extremely alarmed and confused by his answer, you

should hear his argument, which is incredibly strong and in my view, unwavering. At the beginning of his lecture I answered, “Of course we should,” as I believe that everyone, no matter who they are, deserves to feel comfortable in their own skin at all times. And if law needs to be the means in which we make sure that’s the case, then so be it. But throughout his lecture, in which I cried, had goose bumps almost the entire time and actually felt my mind being changed for the better, my answer changed.
What lines should be drawn? Should we have laws and hate speech codes that prohibit hateful speech?
Jonathan explained to us that growing up in a time when being gay was an extreme taboo, he realized placing laws to stop hatespeech is not the real way to make progress. The way to get it done is by changing the culture, by changing the moral knowledge of our country. The rest will eventually take care of itself. To illustrate this point he asked the class if we had
ever heard of a man named Frank Kameny, which unfortunately, none of us had. Frank Kameny was an extraordinary man. In the late 1950s, after serving for our United States military, teaching astronomy at Georgetown University and finally being employed by the United States Army Map Service, Kameny was fired from his government employment because he was gay. This was a time where being gay was crazy and completely unacceptable. Instead of walking away in shame, Kameny fought. He became the first man to file a gay rights brief before the Supreme Court stating something along the lines of, “I served my country fighting tyranny in Europe only to come home and find that I have to fight tyranny here.” His case was shot down. But he kept on fighting and pushing the movement forward. Rauch then told us that Kameny was able to live to receive a public apology from the same Office of Personnel Management who had fired him in the past. And guess what? The director who apologized to him, John Berry, is gay. Kameny also lived long enough to be seated next to President Barack Obama as he signed the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Repeal Act. Kameny was able to see all the progress he made with his voice, with his opinion,
view
with his valid and strong arguments. His arguments appeared strong not only because they were, but because the opposition’s arguments were so terrible and so easy to knock down. Why should someone get fired for his or her sexual orientation? Well, there’s really no logic to this at all of course.
The stupidity present in the hateful speech was perhaps part of what ignited the flame.
Rauch said prohibiting hateful speech would not have been the flame to ignite this movement. The stupidity present in the hateful speech was perhaps part of what ignited the flame. It was part of the flame able to push Kameny into fighting for what was right. Now, I’m not saying all hateful speech should be protected. What I am saying is this viewpoint on freedom of speech should be considered to its full effect, even when it’s hard to determine because situations can be so personal to us. If we had laws in the United States prohibiting freedom of speech, per-

haps sometimes peoples’ feelings would be spared. But would there be progress? Maybe there would be, but isn’t it better to change these horrible moral ideas rather than just trying to deter them? The point is to get to the root of the problem. As Rauch said, it is a matter of fixing the culture, not just putting restraints on it. That is why pushing your opinions on others is so important. That is why making people feel uncomfortable is sometimes necessary. Do you think everyone feels comfortable talking about gay rights? Probably not. But the issue should be talked about so it can become normalized in our culture and these people can feel comfortable in their own skin. We are seeing so much progress in our country and it is as a result of this discourse that has taken place. It is because of these ignorant ideas that gays don’t deserve the same marriage rights or “God hates gays” that people like Kameny, people who make change, can push it the other way by showing that love is so much stronger than hate. What do you think about free speech? Do you agree or disagree about the role of discourse in progress? Please send all feedback to opinion@dailycardinal.com.

Diversity training fosters healthy learning environments
E
very day, thousands of students at our university attempt to collaborate, learn and work together. With myriad, complex identities being carried by each and every one of them, that is no easy task. It is the role of the university and its faculty members to make it easier and at least safe for the students involved. In order to work toward this goal, the university requires all of its T.A.’s to attend a series of diversity training sessions intended to prepare them for possible classroom situations. On September 22, T.A. and History graduate student Jason Morgan disagreed with the requirement and decided to tell his department supervisor along with a handful of conservative media outlets. In his letter, he describes the university’s training sessions as “an avalanche of insinuations, outright accusations, and suffocating political indoctrination,” and virulently protests their attempts at tackling white privilege and supporting trans students. The University has since published a response, reporting that Morgan will be allowed to stay on as a T.A. through the semester and will not be required to attend future training sessions. It also says, “Creating a respectful and safe teaching environment for all stu-
dents is the job of UW instructors.” The goal of the training is to have thoughtful discussions in order to better teach and serve students of all backgrounds,” and that “Mr. Morgan… is entitled to his personal opinions and the university welcomes discussion and deliberation on diversity and all topics.” We think Morgan must first and foremost separate political ideology from the ideology of social justice. The required diversity trainings are an attempt to prepare instructors to be respectful of students’ identities and personal needs, not liberal propaganda. People across the political spectrum should value the importance of understanding one another’s differences; it is as basic as respecting the humanity of the people you are in contact with day in and day out. Morgan complains that he is being asked to examine “the same tired ‘power and privilege’ and can’t, claiming “it is overused and no longer relevant.” But power dynamics are everywhere between doctors and patients, between partners in romantic relationships, and yes, between teachers and their students. His concerns over implicitly being called “racist” through the session are normal. It’s a defensive leap most white people take when asked to look at the way that they
have been socialized and personally contribute to a culture of white privilege. But that defensive mechanism must be overcome in order to recognize the historically oppressive systems that are still at play today, in one way or another, and to create the genuine ties between students and their teachers that foster learning. The training sessions may not be perfect, but they are necessary, and the first step is attending them with a humble and open mindset. And that’s where Morgan’s eloquent tantrum can be useful. His inflammatory way of referring to the identities of trans-students and blatant refusal to recognize white privilege makes it evident that we need to open up a dialogue about diversity training and how to make it the best it can be. Morgan refuses to look at the way his own identities play a role in his feelings. But it’s bringing forward a conversation that desperately needs to happen in our campus community. So what do you think—how can the University better prepare its teachers to deal with diverse classrooms? What makes a classroom feel safe for students? And how can we open up conversation to move toward respecting one another? Only you can decide. Please send all feedback to opinion@dailycardinal.com.

THE RECORD ROUTINE
Pusha T’s ‘name’ is a sure sign of greatness Graphic by Chrystel Paulson
Have you considered the shape of books? Sean Reichard “quip quo pro”
W
hat is the shape of a book? Rectangle, says the wisecracker, or square if it’s a coffee table tome. Maybe you read a triangle shaped book once before. Who knows? But I’m not talking about book shape, per se. I’m talking about the shape of the story. I’ll give two examples: “Finnegans Wake,” by James Joyce, is a book told along the lines of a circle and “The Ambassadors,” by Henry James, has been described as having an hourglass shaped story. “Finnegan’s Wake” basically tries to tell the story of mankind and myth, in an insularly dense polyglot that is rather amorphous in design and interpretation. And the book is literally a circle; the last sentence of the book feeds into the beginning of the book, thus making “Finnegans Wake” never ending. It also approaches the infinite. Remember high school algebra: a circle’s radius/diameter is calculated using pi, which has yet to run out of decimal digits. Right now, it’s sitting pretty at over ten trillion. Combine that with the subject of man and myth and the whole self-referential dream
tongue, and you’ve got a pretty neat headache to contend with. Now, to “The Ambassadors.” I don’t have it on me whether or not James thought of the book as having an hourglass shape. I wouldn’t put it past him. In a critical essay on the subject, E.M. Forster described the book as an hourglass, where, “Everything is planned, everything fits; none of the minor characters are just decorative … they elaborate on the main theme, they work.” Furthermore, Forster says, “the symmetry they have created is enduring.” Unfortunately, I haven’t read “The Ambassadors” in a while, so I can’t corroborate other than to cull a hazy “yeah, that sounds right” from memory. Such an interpretation certainly adds to the elegance of the story. If we were to be literal and assume that the novel is an hourglass, I wonder where exactly the tube narrows, where the pinch sets in. Where (James might say) the elements of the “tale” press their forceful energies in elucidation of the thing which organizes them. It could be Strether’s “Live all you can” speech. It could be Strether’s epiphany. At any rate, I hope those two examples shed some light on what it means to talk about the “shape” of a book. Of course, only having two examples is no fun, so why don’t we spice things up and throw in two more? General cases, this time. Flights of fancy on my part.
The first “shape” to consider is more of a device, like the hourglass. It’s called a stereopticon, or a magic lantern. For anyone who’s been to a history museum or your grandparent’s house, a stereopticon is technically one of those viewing glasses that you put a specialized picture on and it makes it look 3-D. But a stereopticon is also a special projector with two lenses. Popular before movies, these devices could produce images that would seem to “melt” into each other as images transitioned. They were also very popular with seances for summoning “ghosts.” A book could work very well as a series of melting images, I think. The other “shape” is also a device, of sorts, and another toy popular before moving pictures took off. We’re talking Victorian period here. The other shape a book could take is that of a thaumatrope. A thaumatrope consists of two images painted onto one side of a two-sided card or circle cut out. One side may have a bird, for instance, and the other side a birdcage. Now, when this card was spun quickly enough, these images seemed to combine into one, despite being wholly discrete. Wouldn’t that make a wonderful book? The only question would be whether you could spin the story fast enough to make it work. Does this column have you bent out of shape? Tell Sean at sreichard@wisc.edu.
My Name Is My Name Pusha T
By Cameron Graff The Daily Cardinal
In contrast to Sean McCann’s dazzling Music for Private Ensemble —another quintessentially 2013 release, a universe away—Pusha T’s My Name is My Name opens with a rolling snare. Unlike McCann’s restrained masterpiece though, it doesn’t sputter and die on “King Push”— it roars to life, fueled by Kanye’s Yeezus-esque primordial production and Pusha’s snarling flow. The track sets the tone for the rest of the album, painting Pusha as a scowling drug kingpin reclining in his throne. He is, after all, only “missing a dash” in the “difference between [him] and Hova.” Well, that’s at least true on one level. Most of the record spends its time lumbering around, flexing its arms, beefy from moving bricks of coke. Pusha fancies himself a gangster in a world of dulled words, and he never lets us forget it. “Sweet Serenade” features the stupidly fantastic line, “in that Phantom like I’m Blair Witch” and “Hold On” is another gorgeous Kanye produced ode to—you guessed it—peddling cocaine. And then the pattern repeats ad infinum; by the end of the record, you’re damn sure going to know just how much Pusha loves to be the last real thug on the block, constantly rolling like Huell Babineaux or a more sinister Scrooge McDuck through a giant pile of money. So, we get it, Pusha’s great— maybe him and Jay-Z will even meet up someday to discuss the exact magnitude of their
awesomeness, if they haven’t already. Until then, what’s keeping us around to actually listen to him? Well, Pusha’s pretty smooth, in his own way. His delivery never really hits stunning levels, and there aren’t any real lines (minus the aforementioned Blair Witch pun—amazing) that will make your head spin. But My Name is My Name , maybe despite some contrary self-marketing, doesn’t look to reinvent the wheel; rather, it’s a hyper refined version of the wheel that’s fun for the whole family. And Pusha’s the perfect salesmen—when he barks “I just wanna sell dope forever/I just wanna be who I am,” he sells it with conviction. Despite the all-around gorgeous/ominous production (a G.O.O.D. Music blessing), it shouldn’t be a huge surprise then that the real slayer here comes from someone that isn’t Pusha. Kendrick Lamar, on the oft-misspelled “Nosetalgia,” counters Pusha’s “I’m the best” mantra with a monstrous rebuke against Lamar’s own drug peddling father, insisting that Lamar’s music is worth more by the brick than his dad’s dope. It’s an ironic and biting placement for a guest spot, but Pusha’s allowance of something so ambiguously backhanded on his album is telling. Joining the ranks with the nearly as great “Numbers on the Board,” “No Regrets,” “Let Me Love You” and “Pain,” it’s obvious that Pusha was only interested in putting out the best product he could. And while it may not scratch the same zeitgeist itch that Good Kid M.A.A.D. City did last year, My Name is My Name is still a remarkably entertaining record and some of the year’s best A-lister hip-hop.

In the midst of endless touring, Papadosio talks Rootwire and Radiohead By Brian Weidy The Daily Cardinal
Though many would define Papadosio as a jam band, their sound is a melting pot of different genres and influences with each band member coming from a different musical background. “I started out listening to all the music my dad would play for me which is like a lot of Steely Dan and Yes,” said Sam Brouse, Papadosio’s keyboard player. “But the first thing I really had an obsession about was, and is to this day, Radiohead.” Furthermore, while the band is often categorized as a jam band, Brouse himself never really listened to jam bands. “I’ve never even, still to this day, listened to any jam band music my whole life,” said Brouse. This background, removed from the jam band world, works as a blessing for the band as Brouse places a strong emphasis on song-writing and the cre-
ation of albums—something most jam bands consider as an afterthought to their live show. And it’s on the band’s latest album, To End the Illusion of Separation—which came out in 2012—where Papadosio really demonstrates this strength.
“I have thought so many times about starting a food blog about eating on the road.” Sam Brouse Keyboardist for Papadosio
Whereas many jam bands are content to throw a half-dozen or so songs on tape and release it to the world, Papadosio moved in an entirely different direction, choosing to release a 20-song album with little in the way of filler. “I think it came from a lot of
what I was just talking about, bands that we admire have always made albums that speak by themselves,” said Brouse. “It doesn’t have to be about what our band is.” Additionally, part of the drive to make this record was the addition of Brouse, who joined in 2010, and his presence in the studio on To End the Illusion of Separation. “I was chomping at the bit to record some of my songs, and then I’ve also been touring with songs from that album for like two years,” said Brouse. “Basically, we just wanted to see what we could accomplish.” But as much as Brouse is proud of their studio work, one is hard-pressed to look past their relentless touring schedule. The band has traipsed across the country and back numerous times. Some places, however, stand out amongst their hundreds of dates a year. “Every place has its unique
stuff that’s really cool about it,” said Brouse. “But my favorite places to be are Colorado and Richmond, Va. I really like it everywhere, depending on how tired I am.” The band has three big events each year to look forward to: Rootwire Music & Arts Festival (a festival that the band put together themselves), their two-night Earth Night celebration in Columbus, Ohio and a New Years Eve gig. “It is really special and really amazing that all of those people are there [at Rootwire],” Brouse said. “It’s nice, coming from a summer full of festivals that aren’t ours and we don’t have control over.” But New Years Eve, despite being a mainstay of the band’s calendar, is not Brouse’s favorite show of the year. “I mean, obviously everybody just wants to fucking party,” said Brouse. “I like playing New Years, but I like more playing shows where people don’t neces-
sarily expect it.” With the band being on the road for so much of the year, Brouse also enjoys exploring all the wonders of local cuisine across the country. “I have thought so many times about starting a food blog about eating on the road,” Brouse said. “We were just in Portland, Maine for the first time and had some pretty killer clam chowder. But my favorite experience eating is probably the first time I had jambalaya in New Orleans.” Amidst their relentless touring schedule, the band always enjoys coming back into Madison. “It’s different every time, but I like Madison,” said Brouse. “It’s an awesome town, and no matter what the weather is, people are coming out … there’s never been a dead crowd.” Papadosio is set to play the Majestic Theater with support from Earthcry at 9 p.m., Oct. 10.

Badger offense hopes to bounce back By Cameron Kalmon The daily cardinal
Well rested off a bye week, the Wisconsin (1-1 Big Ten, 3-2 overall) offense had more time than usual to prepare for No. 19 Northwestern (0-1, 4-1) and to shake off the tough loss against No. 4 Ohio State (2-0, 6-0). The Wildcats put up a fight against the Buckeyes while the Badgers watched from home during their bye week. Northwestern was ahead 23-20 at the end of the third quarter before allowing Ohio State to put up 20 points in the fourth quarter. The Buckeyes did a good job of taming Wisconsin’s running game the week before and forcing the Badgers to put the ball in the air. In Wisconsin’s last matchup redshirt senior wide receiver Jared Abbrederis had 207 yards, his career high. The Badgers have utilized Abbrederis’ talented receiving ability to complement their historic running game. “It feels good to get back,

Rutgers-SMU battle in triple overtime thriller Grey Satterfield 50 shades of grey Drama is the key to any good story. Drama is generated over time but it builds on the key principle of suspense. Suspense can be broken down into a very simple equation. Make your character, in this case a team, find themselves in a situation in which a good outcome is unlikely and a bad outcome is very likely. Saturday played host to a loaded slate of dramatic games, but one game in particular provided so much dynamic suspense it was hard to handle. And here’s the best part, no one saw it coming. There were three match-ups of ranked teams last week, but nothing came close to the battle between Rutgers and Southern Methodist University. Yes, neither of these teams have a shot at the National Title but Rutgers did snag a good win against Arkansas and SMU, well SMU’s only win was against Montana St. Entering the fourth quarter, Rutgers, was leading the game 35-14, a seemingly insurmountable difference for an SMU team that has struggled all year, but that wasn’t the case. An early fourth quarter touchdown was the spark SMU needed to drive an amazing comeback. But this spark was almost diminished when SMU failed to convert their point after attempt. With 1:19 remaining, SMU scored their third consecutive touchdown triggering a decisive two-point conversion. Upon the snap, the attempt seemed all but finished as multiple Rutgers defenders surged through the line of scrim-
mage. As the pocket collapsed, SMU senior quarterback Garrett Gilbert went in the only direction he could, backwards. A full twenty yards backwards to be precise. Gilbert picked up a few blocks and frantically scrambled toward the sideline. Right before he crossed the sideline he turned across his body and heaved a 20-yard prayer. The throw was so erratic that the camera wasn’t able to capture it. The prayer was answered by senior wide receiver Jeremy Johnson who barely got his toe down in the end zone. The game was tied and sent into overtime. In the third overtime, the game was decided when freshman running back Justin Goodwin scored on a 17-yard scamper to secure victory for Rutgers 55-52 (3OT). The lengthy overtime period consisted of a fourth down conversion for both teams and many other electric plays. Dramatic storytelling was on full display in Dallas on Saturday. The two-point conversion to force overtime was enough to propel SMU-Rutgers to game of the week status, but three overtimes on top of that? Come on. Here in lies the best part of college football; the game of the week can come from anywhere. The marquee game of the day is almost always upstaged by a small game from the newly formed AAC, Sun Belt or other “mid-major” conferences. The depth of games in college football is what separates it from the rest. There are four to six games at four different time slots, each one has potential to be astounding.

a controversial heartbreaker and the last in their most recent game against the undefeated powerhouse Ohio State. “It’s fun playing here, we have a great crowd here. One of the best in the nation in my opinion,” Abbrederis said, “You definitely feel a good vibe from them, when
things get down they can pick you up.” The home field advantage can play a big role in college football. There is a dedicated fan base that consistently shows up each week with organized chants and cheers. Beyond the moral support fans
provide they can be completely debilitating to a visiting team trying to call an audible as the play clock ticks down. Red shirt sophomore quarterback Joel Stave experienced a situation similar to this under the lights at Ohio Stadium with over 106,000 screaming fans, the third biggest crowd in Ohio Stadium history. Senior running back James White is averaging just less than 95 yards per game this season. “It’s a lot of fun playing here; it’s my senior year and I need to cherish it,” White said, “At the same time for us to be a great team we need to win on the road. That will be the challenge for us in the coming weeks.” Redshirt sophomore running back Melvin Gordon has 698 yards off of 68 carries this season. He is currently the sixth ranked rusher in the NCAA for the 2013 season. With the help of White and true freshman running back Corey Clement, the Badgers will look to bounce back against the Wildcats and continue their rushing heritage.
