Bill would rewrite campaign finance laws

By Andrew Bahl THE DAILY CARDINAL

A proposal that would dramatically alter the state’s campaign finance laws is being fast-tracked through the state Legislature, despite being termed by critics as a “deregulation” of the current system.

The changes come as part of a larger package of three bills to reform the state’s election system. Two of the more contentious proposals would split the state’s

election board into two partisan agencies, generating disagreement among legislators.

But a third measure, authored

by Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, would significantly rewrite the state’s campaign finance system.

The bill would double limits on individual donations, which are currently $30,000 for gubernato-

rial candidates, and $3,000 and $1,500 to Senate and Assembly candidates, respectively. These current figures are more than the national average, according to a report from the National Conference of State Legislatures.

The measure would also allow for unlimited spending from political action committees to campaigns and allow donors to give unlimited amounts of money to campaign committees, which

can be passed along to candidates, reflecting a state Supreme Court decision last year.

Proponents of the measure say it would modernize the state’s campaign finance regulations.

“We need to have more advocacy, more issues, more discussion,” Vos said at a public hearing Tuesday. “And sometimes that takes money to do it.”

But Mike McCabe, founder of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign,

a watchdog organization which observes campaign donations in the state, said it would weaken the laws to the point of being ineffective.

“What we’ll end up having are campaign finance laws in name only,” McCabe said. “This is a complete deregulation of the system.

As much money as groups want to pour in, they can.”

McCabe specifically criticized a

Eminent domain proceedings for proposed city park come to a halt after offer is made

By Anna Kaldjian THE DAILY CARDINAL

Hours before a resolution to condemn six properties on West Mifflin Street to build a park came to a vote of the Board of Park Commissioners, a property owner in the neighborhood of the proposed park offered to sell their properties.

Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4,

said he and co-sponsor of the resolution Madison Mayor Paul Soglin plan to ask the Common Council to delay proceedings on the resolution.

This abrupt halt comes after the Plan Commission and the Board of Estimates cleared the resolution, which would permit the City of Madison to seize six private housing properties for the purposes of a

public park.

Prior to this most recent development, the City of Madison’s proceedings toward the use of eminent domain led owners of the buildings in question, which service primarily middle-to low- income UW-Madison students, to voice their objections.

WARF wins patent lawsuit against Apple

By Ellie Herman THE DAILY CARDINAL

A federal court jury in Madison supported a criminal complaint initially filed in 2014 by The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation Tuesday, finding Apple Inc. guilty of infringing on the foundation’s patent rights for a specialized microprocessor.

The technology, developed by UW-Madison microprocessor architecture researchers Andreas Moshovos, Scott Breach, Terani Vijaykumar and Gurindar Sohi known as “Table Based Data Speculation Circuit for Parallel Processing Computer,” was patented in 1998, according to the 2014 complaint.

WARF said in the complaint it believes Apple incorporated the technology from the patent into their latest products, including the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air and the iPad mini with Retina display.

The researchers’ patent “significantly improved the efficiency and performance of contemporary computer processors,” and is noted as a major milestone in the industry, according to the 2014 complaint.

Apple originally argued the patent was invalid, and previously appealed to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to review the patent’s validity. The agency rejected the appeal in April 2015, accord-

The proposed park would have had the City of Madison force a buyout of six private properties.

Nonprofit entrepreneur to speak at winter commencement A UW-Madison alumna who became a “social entrepreneur” in India after a year abroad will deliver the winter commencement speech, according to a Wednesday university press release.

Zoë Timms, who graduated from UW-Madison in 1997, drew from her experiences in India when she returned years later to work for UW-Madison’s Year in India program in Madurai, Tamil Nadu.

There, she met impoverished young women whose situations

affected their education, according to the release. To respond to this problem, Timms founded the Women’s Education Project in 2002.

WEP is a program that provides scholarships, academic support and resources for the kinds of women Timms wanted to help, allowing them to graduate high school or college and advance their careers.

The program has helped more than 500 women graduate and currently has 280 students. Past students have gone on to work in

a variety of professional positions.

Timms said in the release she relates to the apprehension new graduates have after school ends.

She emphasized, however, that whatever a person goes on to do should be enjoyable.

“I think the key to being successful is finding your supporters,” Timms said in the release. “Not everybody is going to start a nonprofit in India.

But whatever you do, you can make it rewarding for yourself.”

UW NOW promotes body positivity and self-acceptance

By Bailey NachreinerMackesey THE DAILY CARDINAL

“You are beautiful.”

It’s a simple sentiment, but one that the members of the UW-Madison chapter of the National Organization for Women don’t think we hear enough. As part of NOW’s Love Your Body campaign, UW NOW hosted Love Your Body Day and handed out messages promoting body positivity on East Campus Mall early Wednesday afternoon.

“It’s really unreal when people are so surprised when you tell them they’re beautiful,” cofounder of UW NOW Maddie Colbert said. “Especially on a campus this big, with so many people to compare yourself to and so much pressure to do so, it’s important to remain positive about who you are.”

Junior Gabrielle DiBenedetto said receiving these messages can better campus life, especially for students managing the transitions and pressures of college.

“It’s important for these things to happen on campus in an informal way because it catches students and makes them feel more connected to the campus community,” DiBenedetto said. “College can be tough and it’s really incredible that random people here would come up to me and make me feel great about myself.”

The Rape Crisis Center and Sex Out Loud included their own messages about self-acceptance and how body positivity can support their own missions on campus that UW NOW members handed out at the event.

“We see many messages about how we should not love and accept our bodies. At Rape Crisis Center, we believe it is a radical act to love your body exactly the way it is,” the Rape Crisis Center’s message said.

“We also see practicing enthusiastic consent as a vital part of loving your own body and respecting others.”

“You are beautiful.” event volunteers UW NOW

Members of UW NOW said they were happy to see positive reactions to their event and hoped that they created a space to allow people to express body positivity for themselves.

“People have been very receptive to our messages,” UW NOW member Morgan Olsen said. “I’ve noticed a bunch of older women commenting on how happy they are to see this, which I think shows it’s important to start body empowerment young so it can carry throughout people’s lives.”

The Associated Students of Madison Coordinating Council begins outlining the internal budget for the 2016 fiscal year.

ASM Coordinating Council plans 2016 internal budget

By Madeline Heim THE DAILY CARDINAL

The Associated Students of Madison Coordinating Council began discussion Wednesday on the organization’s operating budget for the 2016 fiscal year.

Each year, ASM makes decisions on the breakdown of university segregated fees, which are charged to students for services and programs aside from general instruction.

The budget covers a variety of costs such as ASM administrative functions, stipends for ASM faculty and staff and registered student organizations’ grants.

Wednesday’s meeting was the first of several upcoming budget discussions, and ASM Chair Madison Laning asked for input on what council members wanted to see represented in the budget.

Nominations Board Chair Matt Walczak explained a line item in which ASM provides support for students with disabilities.

This funding works to give financial support to students with disabilities who seek to participate in extracurricular events, according to ASM’s website.

Laning described how the McBurney Disability Resource Center will provide a service, such as finding an interpreter, for a student and then reach out to ASM for

lawsuit from page 1 ing to the news service Reuters.

The next step of the lawsuit will focus on the monetary damages the WARF could receive from Apple. U.S. District Judge William Conley said Apple could face up

cost reimbursement of that service.

Walczak said it is crucial to allow these students to be included in such events.

“It’s really important that they’re able to participate in student life as equally as students with nondisabilities,” Walczak said.

Laning echoed the importance of inclusion for students with disabilities in extracurricular events.

“We’re funding these events,” Laning said. “So we should be funding a way for all students to go to them.”

The council also discussed whether it would keep its membership with the United States Student Association, a national organization that promotes education and advocacy for issues impacting students, according to its website.

ASM Vice Chair Kyla Kaplan said that if the council does terminate its USSA membership, it should focus instead on promoting campus conversations that will address school-wide issues before national issues.

ASM Secretary Al Schultz added that the council’s money could be best spent on improving the lives and welfare of UW-Madison students.

“We have a duty to our student body, the people we represent, more than we have a duty to any national student body,” Schultz said. to $862 million in damages for using the technology developed

by WARF, according to a Tuesday article by Reuters.

“This is a loophole big enough to drive a Mack Truck through,” McCabe said. “This legislation

The future of Madison-based biotechnology company Exact Sciences Corporation is less certain after a major drop in the company’s stock value last week.

The drop caused concern for the public investment made into the recently approved Judge Doyle Square project, a $200 million development which includes a corporate headquarters for Exact Sciences.

The company’s main product, Cologuard, was not included on the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force’s list of recommended screening tests for cancer, causing the plummet in Exact Sciences’ shares.

Madison Mayor Paul Soglin questioned Exact Sciences’ potential for success in a letter sent to the company’s principal and CEO Wednesday.

In the letter, the mayor requested that Exact Sciences respond by Oct. 28 to a series of questions posed by the Common Council.

“It was premature to come to any conclusions regarding Exact Sciences,” he wrote. “In the next month the City would get better information on the long term consequences of that announcement.”

The company focuses on detection of colon cancer and manufactures Cologuard, “the first noninvasive screening test for colorectal cancer that analyzes both stool DNA and blood biomarkers,” according to its website.

The Common Council approved a proposal to build the corporate headquarters as part of the Judge Doyle Square project Sept. 30.

However, the steep drop in shares—more than 45 percent— alludes to the company’s potential to be less profitable than previously thought.

The company’s CEO Kevin Conroy testified before Common Council voted on the Judge Doyle Square legislation, praising Cologuard.

“We’re really only one of the only companies dedicated to [early detection],” he said at the meeting. “Cologuard is a major breakthrough. There is no test like it even close to the performance level.”

park from page 1 One owner, Patti Coffey, is “glad [the city is] going to try to [take] a more cooperative approach.”

However, even if developments do not ultimately utilize eminent domain, she maintains concerns.

Coffey said she believes the recent proceedings follow a pattern of “gentrification” in areas of university housing.

“Not everyone wants to live in a complex, or can afford to live in a complex,” she said.

Having lived in the Mifflin Street area as an undergraduate, she said that “gentrification is something that university students should pay attention to.”

Verveer, who also lived in the Mifflin Street neighborhood during college, said he harbors “strong affections for the neighborhood.”

“I frankly am trying to strike a happy medium between the pressures of new development and trying to keep the old character, which I personally cherish, of the neighborhood in tact,” he said.

Madison’s weekend entertainment lineup

By Allison Garcia The Daily Cardinal

Happy homecoming Madison, let’s celebrate with some of this weekend’s entertainment. courtesy of Bronze Radio Return

Bronze Radio Ruturn will perform their foot-stomping, hand-clapping music Sunday, Oct. 18 at the Frequency.

Bronze Radio Return focuses on love of music

By Michael Frett The Daily Cardinal

To some, music is a mission, with each chord dripping in politics and each bar directed at some critic’s praise or curse. I’ve been one of those critics for a few years now, an accessory to those ideas that music needs some kind of inherent politics or grand, meta concept. It’s a conversation worth having, but it betrays what made so many of us fall in love with music in the first place: the excitement of a stomping beat, clapping your hands and the smile of a warm melody.

Bronze Radio Return is the kind of band that embraces this feeling.

It’s not that their music never looks inward for some deeper idea or that they don’t challenge themselves as artists. In fact, each album ultimately sees the New Englanders playing with some new texture or experimenting with a new sound. But they never lose sight of music’s simpler joys, of a folk stomper’s revelry or the communal joy of a sing-a-long.

I had a chance to talk with Bronze Radio Return’s front man, the always smiling Chris Henderson, about his band’s upcoming show at the Frequency this Sunday and his music in general. While we drifted between everything from new albums and songwriting to Ryan Adams, everything eventually came back to that excitement behind music; the kind that inspires bands to hit the road

and urges audiences to dance.

“We all had a compassion about music and wanted to be involved in a band that hopefully someday traveled and got to go out and be a part of this adventure,” Henderson said of his band’s younger days. “[We thought,] ‘Let’s see if we can put together this thing, making music that we feel passionate about and go out and have fun doing it … Wouldn’t it be crazy if we could just play in a band and drive around the country?’”

That sense of passion has guided Bronze Radio Return since 2007, sending them on a journey spanning four albums and an EP that’s led them across the country. It’s that same journey that’s brought their music through the festival circuit, sent them through smaller dives and bigger stages with the likes of John Mayer and Michael Franti, and even scored them a gig for none other than President Obama himself.

That adventure is what led Bronze Radio Return to Light Me Up, a new album coming out this Friday on DigSin. While the album sees the band playing with an increasingly poppier production, with less banjo and more beat, it never really loses the sense of excitement that the band set out with years ago.

“I hope people react to it with smiles, stomping feet and clapping hands. I think it’s going to be good music,” Henderson said of the new album. “It’s going to be fun and I

think it’s going to lend itself to a highenergy live show.”

Henderson and company have always played around with music’s joys, making listeners live in the moment as the beat stomps and the banjos dance. Bronze Radio Return staples like “Light Me Up,” the lead single from their new album, and the not-so-subtle “Shake, Shake, Shake” are dedicated to those live shows.

That light spirit has made Bronze Radio Return a television regular; their songs pop up whenever there’s a need for some revelry, whether it’s an “American Idol” montage or a Bill Murray romp.

“I never expected to have anything lined up in a Bill Murray movie,” Henderson laughed after hearing Bronze Radio Return’s “Further On” in last year’s dramedy “St. Vincent.”

Bronze Radio Return’s stand at the Frequency comes on the heels of Light Me Up’s Americana-inflected pop tunes. While there’s bound to be plenty of new songs, Henderson is looking forward to adding new spins to old favorites and, ultimately, just having a good time with the new setlists.

“We like going out and trying to excite a room,” Henderson said at the end of our conversation. “We’re excited to have new music. It’ll be a new set of songs, with different approaches on some of the older songs we play.

It kind of feels like a fresh start on this next leg of our adventure.”

If you want to be a Badger Check out the Madison Homecoming Parade Friday with student floats, the UW Marching Band, Bucky Badger, classic cars and more. It takes place on State Street. There will also be a Badger Bash before kickoff Saturday where the band, cheer squad and dance teams will get people ready for the Homecoming Game against Purdue.

The Unions will be featuring The Northern Hooks and Hemispheres with Clear Pioneer and Circus Fires. There will also be the Behind the Beat Jazz Series Friday in Der Rathskeller.

Art swap Wheelhouse Studios is hosting an art supplies swap where people can exchange old, unused tools for “new” creative materials. The swap will take place Friday and Saturday in Union South.

Poetry slam Sit back and listen to some Urban Spoken Word and slam poetry hosted by David Hart at Genna’s Lounge on Main Street near the Capitol.

Protomartyr releases average new album ALBUM REVIEW

The Agent Intellect Protomartyr

By Paul Blazevich The Daily Cardinal

With strong guitars and percussion reminiscent of The National, Detroit’s post-punk aficionados, Protomartyr, present the listener with a 44-minute project titled The Agent Intellect.

Although difficult to digest at times, The Agent Intellect contains rewarding moments that delve into the deeper, more emotional side of punk rock.

Lead singer Joe Casey displays a vocal style that radiates

an influence by the history of punk, especially heard on tracks “Clandestine Time” and “Boyce or Boice.” Casey’s verses remind one of a mix between spoken word poetry and David Bowie melancholy. “Cowards Starve” and “I Forgive You,” the second and third tracks on The Agent Intellect, are perfect examples of this whining expression of frustration.

Guitarist Greg Ahee embraces the angst of punk and continually barrages the listener with heavy, minor chords and riffs. Not all tracks on this album are downers, though, as the major key of “The Devil in His Youth,” the opening track, differs from the punk trend of slipping into the darkness.

Experimentalism is profound in several areas of Protomartyr’s approach on their third studio album. Airy, barely audible vocal samples that sound like they were ripped from an ancient space-

ship, tracks that contain several different songs and spaces that are void of sound are abound on The Agent Intellect.

While not approaching the forward thinking of groundbreaking bands such as Deafheaven or Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Protomartyr nonetheless incorporate several of the creative and abstract concepts that are becoming more popular in rock and metal today. With almost every song flowing seamlessly into the next, Protomartyr’s production on The Agent Intellect is quite possibly the most impressive and lasting feature of the album.

My own ear tells me this album is average—just another rock album. The ears that have been following Protomartyr and other punk bands for years would likely give this album a raving review.

Grade: C+

Disturbing images reveal UW student openly smoking between classes

By Hossein Rostam THE DAILY CARDINAL

This week, images posted on a popular social network have exposed a UW student who was openly lighting a cigarette in broad daylight and smoking it on purpose. The student did not appear to be intoxicated as he stood in plain sight outside the third floor of Van Hise.

“I couldn’t believe my eyes. At first I thought his face was burn-

ing,” claims the source who took the photos, “but when I realized what it was, I just had to take a picture. It was just like seeing Bigfoot in the wild. But, not in the wild. On campus. And not Bigfoot, a guy smoking.”

The student was indeed smoking cigarettes, commonly called “cancer sticks,” as opposed to the healthier and more socially acceptable marijuana, or “ganja,” sources confirmed. Sophomore eyewit-

Jack Doherty, stunt double for UW basketball coach Bo Ryan, has reportedly grown sick and tired of posing for pictures with Badger fans.

He originally enjoyed his position but has since felt it to be more of a burden than a boon, particularly the photo op aspect of the job.

“I really don’t mind all of the basketball-related stuff,” Doherty said. “I just can’t stand when people ask me for pictures everywhere I go. Especially when I’m off the clock.”

Doherty was hired in 2004 to handle some of the off-thecourt duties for a tremendously busy and aging Ryan. He originally only shot commercials and signed autographs, but has seen his role expand to a 60-hourper-week gig that includes tasks ranging from waking up the players for class to even conducting postgame press conferences.

“The worst part is, no one knows it’s actually me instead of Bo. Even the players don’t know,” Doherty confessed to Daily Cardinal reporters. “I’ve been working hard to mimic Bo’s appearance and precisely emulate his mannerisms for over a decade and I continually get no

recognition for it.”

Doherty says the last three years have been the worst ones yet.

“I used to get only five to 10 photo requests per week,” he said. “But since the Badgers made consecutive Final Fours I get at least 20 on any given day.”

Shooting Down Cancer has been a particularly dreaded day on the calendar in recent years for Doherty.

“Keeping a smile on my face for the full three-hour event and shaking so many sick students’ hands is an absolute nightmare,” Doherty said. “In 2013, [UW athletic director] Barry Alvarez even asked me to pay Bo’s donation for him, but that’s where I drew the line.”

Doherty reported that he is eagerly awaiting Ryan’s impending retirement. “Just like Bo, I have a family of my own and I’d like to spend more time with them,” he said. “I would have quit a year ago but while Bo is still coaching the athletic department pays me quite handsomely and we can really use the money.”

Doherty even divulged some of the more unusual requirements of the job.

“Taking Bo’s wife Kelly on dates is kind of a drag,” Doherty said.

“But I actually like all of his grandchildren. They are really cute.”

Has the Israeli government gone too far?

JACK KELLY Opinion Columnist

V

iolence between Israelis and Palestinians has once again broken out near Jerusalem’s Damascus Gate Plaza. Wednesday, police shot and killed a man dressed in combat fatigues who was wielding a knife. Israeli police spokeswoman Luba Samri stated in a report that the incident began when police saw the combatant and believed he looked nervous and suspicious. The officers’ dispatch revealed that the man allegedly lunged at them with the knife and then ran. Another police unit in the plaza saw the incident and shot him fatally. The man was identified as Basel Sider, a 19-year-old with no prior criminal record.

This incident is just the latest violent episode near the gates of the Old City. Israeli police also killed two Palestinians who stabbed officers on Saturday, and earlier on Wednesday a 70-year-old woman was stabbed near Jerusalem’s central bus station. Once again, the attacker was shot by police.

No further information on the condition of the attacker or the woman has been released by Israeli authorities.

In response to these outbreaks

of violence, the Israeli government has authorized military and police forces to shut down access to certain neighborhoods in East Jerusalem. These authorities have set up checkpoints to pass from one part of the city to the other, and placed more active police officers on the streets. When asked about these new policies, Samri stated that these “actions and operations are intended to fairly respond to the wave of terror and knifing” and that the Israeli authorities are simply trying to “return law and order to all citizens of the state.” It should be noted that these moves came a day after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said he would travel to the Middle East to help cool down the conflict.

Shortly after Kerry’s announcement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to make his country more secure. In a speech, he proclaimed that “we [the Israeli government] decide on a series of vigorous steps in our fight against terrorism,” and that these steps “will be implemented as quickly as possible.”

These steps to making Israeli

safer are rather intense. In addition to closing off Palestinian neighborhoods, the military will back the Israeli police force. An additional 300 security guards will be recruited to protect citizens on public transportation, as several attacks have occurred on buses or at bus stops in the recent days. Also, the prime minister’s office announced last weekend that 1,600 reserve border police have been mobilized in Jerusalem. The final and most extreme measure being enacted

by Israeli authorities is that security forces can now demolish homes of attackers if the Israeli Supreme Court sees it fit to do so.

Such acute measures by the Israeli government make me wonder if they have gone too far in sacrificing Palestinia liberties for Israeli security. I can only imagine walking the streets of Jersualem to be akin to that of a police state. This is something that no nation which identifies as being democratic should allow to happen. I’m fully aware of the awful violence in the region. It has been occurring for thousands of years. I am also aware of the horrible acts of murder that have occurred in the last two weeks. However, I believe

that the solution to these “terrorist” attacks is not further threats of violence, but the opening of a dialogue that seeks to negotiate peace.

...where there is a lack of human rights, violent extremism thrives.

The Palestinian people have been ready to negotiate peace with Israel for decades, and the Israelis have never seriously considered it. I believe that it is time they start, for if they do not, many Palestinians, such as a group of young adults in Hebron, have stated that after years of failed negotiations, “now we will fight.” Systematically disenfranchised Palestinians have silently put up with abuses from the Israeli government for decades, and there seems to be no end in sight.

The marginalization of Palestinians in occupied territory leaves very few options in terms of resistance, and where there is a lack of human rights,

violent extremism thrives. With the ongoing Syrian Civil War, and the constant war against terrorist groups like ISIL, the world does not need another full-scale military struggle in the Middle East.

The terms of said negotiations do not need to be extreme; they simply must ease the tensions between the two sides. Restrictions from the Israelis on the people of Palestine’s access to certain parts of the city could be reduced. The border fences separating the two nations in Jerusalem could be manned by both sides, working together. Allowing police to fatally shoot any person they believe is a “threat” to security should be stopped. If all of these things occur, perhaps the violence in such a holy city can be reduced. It certainly is a tall task, especially between two nations that possess different and rival world religions. But they must start somewhere, for the recent stabbings, shootings and other outbreaks of violence in the region cannot continue.

Webb’s comments reignite veteran mental health debates SERGEY FEDOSSOV Opinion Editor

L

ast night at the first Democratic debate, we had an opportunity to see what the potential nominees for the Democratic Party’s presidential candidacy were good for, and what their weak points were. Lincoln Chafee, the former governor of Rhode Island,

was immediately outed for his spotty party affiliations and records, and was even grilled by CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer later on when he planned on ending his “futile” presidential bid. Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton each caught flak for their actions, statements and past voting records, but came out without significant damage. Slow-talking Martin

let your

O’Malley had the heat turned up on him for his emotional appeals and lack of serious answers regarding the delicate state of Baltimore due to recent civil unrest. However, former Sen. Jim Webb suffered less for his unique stances and speaking style at the hands of debators than he did later at the hands of social media users.

If you were asleep during the debate or very poor at perceiving the obvious, Webb mentioned his military service as a Marine Corps officer several times, including when he not-so-slyly alluded to the time he killed an enemy combatant that wounded him in Vietnam. Webb’s perceived nonchalance toward his experience in combat and other military mannerisms stuck out like a sore thumb among the generally liberal air on the debate stage, and it set social media websites such as Twitter ablaze with jokes and jab centered around Webb acting out some kind of deranged, offthe-rails Rambo fantasy against the people of Southeast Asia.

However, these jokes are not only offensive to veterans, but also couldn’t be farther from the truth.

Webb has served his country bravely on the battlefield and honorably as secretary of the Navy.

While such jokes at Webb’s expense are (hopefully) in good fun, there is a deeper issue that begs discussion about the public’s perception of veterans, in particular regarding issues of mental health, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Vietnam-era anti-war sentiments levelled at everyone viewed as complicit in the military-industrial complex, including your average draftee, resulted in a critical lack of attention and care to our veterans, which led to a sense of disenfranchisement from the system among veterans. In addition to the social stigmas against accepting psychological help due to the untested and budding nature of the field, these factors led to servicemembers’ mental health issues running amok, breeding the stereotype of the “crazy” Vietnam veteran.

Today, our veterans are treated with a much higher level of dignity and respect, with improving access to veterans’ health care a major domestic policy concern. Despite a stance of acceptance from both the government and cultural norms, far too often are veterans, especially those involved in combat arms, silently viewed as damaged goods set to explode at any second.

To crucify [Webb] for an out-of-context joke is to diminish not only his service, but his status as a human being.

People expect these veterans to be one wrong comment or firework away from being sent into a traumatic episode or flashback full of screaming and violence. If I was still ignorant on the topic of common mental health issues in the community of veterans, I likely would have drank the deadly media Kool-Aid. However, the worst thing you can do to the roughly 22 million veterans and over two million current servicemembers is pigeonhole them into a certain stereotype. Every veteran’s story is different, and treating them with some arbitrary level of tender treatment is a misguided yet unnecessary act.

Regardless of your politics, veterans are some of the most welltrained and disciplined members of society, and should not be stigmatized due to outdated and ridiculously false stereotypes. Webb has served his country bravely on the battlefield and honorably as secretary of the Navy. To crucify him for an out-of-context joke is to diminish not only his service, but his status as a human being. I don’t ask you to kiss the ground veterans walk on, just for common decency.

Barlow supplies late-game heroics in his hometown, powers Badgers to victory

By Jason Braverman The Daily Cardinal

Although Wisconsin started a three-game road trip Wednesday night, one Badger felt right at home. Early into the second overtime period, sophomore forward and St. Louis native Tom Barlow sent in the gamewinner for Wisconsin (1-1-2 Big Ten, 3-8-2 overall) against the St. Louis Bilikens (0-1-2 Atlantic 10, 4-5-2 overall).

The two sides played to a scoreless first half, but it was the Bilikens who were able to get on the scoreboard first.

Just four minutes into the second half, senior defender Filip

football from page 8 the same kind of mindset and attack mode going at it.”

When Schobert and Biegel are “going at it,” it makes it very difficult for opposing quarterbacks. They’re hurried, under pressure, and never able to get comfortable, and this is what Purdue’s quarterbacks have had to deal with all season. It started with redshirt junior Austin Appleby, who was later benched for redshirt freshman David Blough.

Appleby’s benching was a result of his turnovers, having thrown six interceptions over the first three games. Then Blough took over, and he’s already thrown five in his three games. The redshirt freshman has already been sacked 10 times, though, and that pressure has clearly affected his performances.

Pavisic took a free kick from 22 yards out that beat the keeper to take a 1-0 lead.

With less than 15 minutes to go, sophomore midfielder Christopher Mueller, who leads the Badgers in goals and points with four and 11, respectively, knocked in the equalizer. Neither side was able to regain the edge in the final minutes of regulation time, sending the Badgers to their second consecutive overtime match and the Bilikens to their fifth straight.

After a scoreless first extra period, Wisconsin was set up with a corner kick in the 105th minute. Mueller was able to

direct it toward the box, where Barlow was waiting to head it past the near post for the game winner, giving the Badgers the decisive 2-1 advantage.

Despite carrying a record of 0-6-1 at home, the Badgers have been able to find success away from Madison, standing at 3-2-1 on the road including a four-game streak of gaining at least one point.

The Badgers will have the chance to continue their road triumphs, traveling to Columbus to take on Ohio State on Sunday before playing in-state rival Milwaukee next Wednesday.

UWBadgers.com contributed to this report.

It hasn’t been all bad from Blough. It’s hard to blame the quarterback too much, and Aranda knows the younger quarterback is doing his best with what he’s got.

“He’s got a great instinct in the pocket to run the ball,” Aranda said.

“I think there’s a savviness to him.

He’s been impressive with what he has had to work with.”

One of the few bright areas that Blough has had on his side is his young running back duo, led by sophomore D.J. Knox with freshman Markell Jones behind him. Knox has been more of the workhorse, but with the struggling offensive line, he hasn’t been able to maintain consistency.

Jones has provided a great change of pace, leading all freshmen running backs in the country with 6.2 yards per carry.

“I think the two tailbacks they have are good players,” Aranda said. “I think they’re probably the most skillful guys on that offense.”

It all comes back to the Boilermaker offensive line. With poor protection, their offense stalls, putting the onus on their defense that isn’t able to hold up.

Then they get behind on the scoreboard, their offense can’t catch up and they end up 1-5 heading into Camp Randall.

Wisconsin is a 24-point favorite in this game, despite coming off of two straight shaky Big Ten games. They say winning cures all, and a very favorable matchup against Purdue might be just what the doctor ordered for the Badgers.

Sarah Nurse has four goals and four assists on the season so far.

Wisconsin brings unblemished record to St. Cloud State

By Ryan Weinkauf The Daily Cardinal

After an easy sweep of Ohio State last weekend, the No. 2 Badgers (2-0 WCHA, 5-0 overall) travel to St. Cloud State (0-2, 2-2), where they will look to continue their conference dominance early in the season.

The early-season road trip will present different challenges for the team though, according to junior forward Sarah Nurse.

“Whenever we are on a road trip, it’s a different atmosphere,” Nurse said. “We don’t have our fans obviously, who help us a lot, so we just have to get everything down again so I think that’s the big difference.”

St. Cloud State started the season strong with a sweep of Merrimack, scoring a combined 12 goals over two games. But last weekend they simply had no answer for Minnesota, losing to the Golden Gophers 7-0 and 11-0. St. Cloud State is expected to be one of the weaker teams in the strong WCHA this year, so the Badgers should have another easier series to prepare for when the schedule strengthens down the road.

However, the team isn’t going to be taking this series lightly at all.

“We all know they got killed last weekend, but we are going to ignore that and just go into the first period and dominate and play our game,” junior defender Jenny Ryan said.

“You never really know what is going to happen, so we are just going to try to focus on our game and not theirs.”

No player has emerged as a main offensive threat for the Huskies, as only one player has more than one goal so far in defender Lexi Slattery, who leads the team with two goals and four assists.

Opponent power plays have been a weakness for St. Cloud State this year, as it has allowed goals on 10-of-14 opponent opportunities. The Badgers, who have scored on 33 percent of their own power plays, could look to take advantage of this during this weekend’s series.

“We’ve been working on special teams this week and with the bigger ice surface we will definitely [be] trying to take advantage of that,” sophomore Emily Clark said.

Wisconsin, on the other hand, has been stellar defensively, allowing only two goals through four games, and have only allowed one goal in 14 opponent power plays.

Ryan believes the experience Wisconsin has defensively is why it has been so strong to start the year.

“We only have one freshman on defense so we have all been playing together for a lot of years, so we all kind of know what the others are doing,” Ryan said. “And we’ve got [Ann-Renée Desbiens] back there, which is a big part of our defense because we are all really comfortable with her.”

Wisconsin has been equally dominant on the offensive end, as it has already scored 28 goals in its first four games. The Badgers’ stars are once again earning national recognition, as sophomore Annie Pankowski is tied for the leading scorer in the country, and last week Clark was named WCHA Co-Offensive Player of the Week.

Clark attributes her early success to her teammates on the first line and also the experience she has gained from last year.

“I think my line is working really well and has great chemistry, and I think just having a year under my belt has helped a lot going into this year,” Clark said.

But the Badgers have also shown they are a deep team as well, as every player on the roster has already registered a point. Wisconsin’s second line has been as deadly as the first, led by juniors Sydney McKibbon and Nurse, who are tied with Clark for second on the team in points.

“I think we have been moving the puck really well,” Nurse said.

“Me and Syd have played together for a few years, and adding Sam [Cogan] to that, she is a good complement and has been doing really well for us.”

That combination of top-level talent and strong depth is not easily achieved, and should prove to be a deadly combination this season for Wisconsin.

“Our depth is really important. A lot of teams might have one or two really good lines, but we have four that can be put into any situation for us,” Nurse said.

The Badgers are the heavy favorites in this series, and history backs up that claim. Wisconsin has lost to the Huskies just once this decade, and has a strong history of knocking SCSU out of the WCHA Playoffs, beating it in the first round twice in the past 5 years.

Nevertheless, going on the road is never easy and the Badgers will need to avoid any slipups in order to stay on top of the conference standings.

Both Friday’s and Saturday’s games are scheduled to start at 3 p.m.

Minnesota spoils Badgers’ upset bid

By Matt Davis the daily cardinal

In a back and forth thriller, No. 15 Wisconsin (4-3 Big Ten, 12-5 overall) fell in five sets to No. 11 Minnesota (6-2, 14-3), 25-11, 24-26, 16-25, 26-24, 11-15 Wednesday at the UW Field House.

“It was one heck of a game,” head coach Kelly Sheffield said. “Both teams embraced the battle. It’s definitely the best we have fought this year and I was pleased we had a positive mentality and that we were able to rally to play a fifth game.”

Defense played a huge factor in the game, as the two teams combined for 27 blocks and 167 digs. Both teams struggled offensively, as UW hit .155 percent and had 63 kills and 34 errors while Minnesota hit .147 percent and had 56 kills and 28 attack errors. The

Badgers won the first set easily, 25-11, with sophomore Kelli Bates recording five kills, and she went on to lead UW with 17 for the match. However, the Gophers woke up in the second set and squeezed out a 26-24 win.

“We just need to keep being put in these situations so we know how to handle them.”

Lauren Carlini junior setter Wisconsin volleyball

In the third set, the Gophers dominated, winning 25-16 with star senior outside hitter Daly Santana recording seven kills in

the set. UW rallied as junior setter Lauren Carlini recorded four kills to give UW the win in the fourth set. Carlini recorded another kill in the fifth set to cut Minnesota’s lead to 13-11, but the Badgers would not get any closer as they dropped the next two points to lose 11-15.

After UW held Santana without a kill in the first set, she tallied six in the second set and would go on to record a match-high 20 kills despite only hitting .162 percent for the game.

“I think we did a pretty good job defensively holding her to .162 for the game,” Sheffield said. “What makes her really good is that she hits the entire court and she doesn’t hit the same shot twice in a row, which makes it really hard for us defensively. You really have to battle when you go up against a

Football

player like that.”

Not only did Santana keep UW guessing every time she hit the ball, she also moved very quickly, which was also a big challenge for the Badgers.

“When defending Santana, the pace is so quick that you have such a short amount of time to read the play,” said senior libero Taylor Morey. “She’s a great player but we’re going to approach her the same way we do with all the other players in the Big Ten so we can be successful against them.”

Even though UW got out in front early, they had a feeling it was going to be a battle most of the night.

“There’s no way we were going to keep playing as well as we did against an elite defensive team like

that,” Sheffield said. “However, we really struggled in game three and had 11 attack errors so you know we can play better than that. Momentum can really change a lot in this game and that’s what happened tonight.”

Despite the loss, the fact that the Badgers rallied from a 2-1 deficit wall gives them more confidence that they can play well when their backs are against the wall.

“When you’re put in a situation where you’re behind and you need to embrace it and play well is something we can get better at,” junior setter Lauren Carlini said. “We just need to keep being put in these situations so we know how to handle them.”

Round two of the border battle against the Gophers will be Saturday in Minneapolis, Minn. at the Sports Pavilion at 8 p.m.

Boston road trip serves as valuable opportunity

UW welcomes struggling Purdue

By Lorin Cox the daily cardinal

This Sunday will mark the 12-year anniversary of the last time Purdue (0-2 Big Ten, 1-5 overall) beat Wisconsin (1-1, 4-2). It isn’t easy to find many people who think that streak will end when the two teams play Saturday.

The Boilermakers’ season has been a bit of a mess, as their only win came Week 2 against the Indiana State Sycamores, and despite giving Michigan State a scare in their fifth game, their 13-41 loss to Minnesota last week was a microcosm of their

season as a whole.

Many of Purdue’s issues have started with its offensive line. They can’t get good pass protection, particularly at the tackle positions, which doesn’t bode well for them as they go against the Badgers’ premier pass rushers.

“You definitely look at the weaknesses and focal points you can take advantage of on any offensive line,” redshirt junior outside linebacker Vince Biegel said. “Purdue has some strengths up front, and they have some weaknesses, and that’s what we’re going to attack.”

One way that Wisconsin defensive coordinator Dave Aranda has attacked offensive lines is by lining up Biegel and redshirt senior outside linebacker Joe Schobert on the same side of the defense, forcing opposing offenses to shift their protection to one side, opening up one-on-one opportunities on the other.

“When me and Schobert are on the same side, it definitely draws some attention to us,” Biegel said.

“It’s fun to pass rush with your buddy and have two guys who have

football page 7

Anxious to keep the puck sliding, the Badgers will travel to Massachusetts this week where they will face a talented pair of Boston squads.

Friday, Wisconsin (0-02) will look to silence Boston College’s (1-1-0) potent offense, and Saturday’s matchup against Boston University (0-1-0) will feature two of the most storied programs in NCAA history.

Combined, UW and BU cherish 11 total national championships, with six of them belonging to Wisconsin.

However, having forced ties in its first two games, the Badgers will first focus their attention to the Eagles Friday.

Boston College starts and ends with sophomore forward Alex Tuch. Over his first two games, Tuch has netted three goals on six shots to go along with a blocked shot. Last season, Tuch appeared in all but one game for the Eagles and helped lead them to the NCAA tournament. He was the first BC player in 42 years to lead the team in points as a freshman. If the

Badgers hope to pull out a win Friday night, they must look to contain the breakout sophomore.

Tuch is not the only name likely to be highlighted in Wisconsin’s game plan. Freshman forward Miles Wood has more than turned heads throughout his early collegiate career. Like Tuch, Wood has posted three points through his first two games on two goals and an assist.

Despite having its hands full with the Eagles, the Badgers will have to quickly prepare for the Terriers, a high-octane offensive squad, Saturday.

BU is coming off of a disappointing 5-3 loss to Union and will look to flood inexperienced Badgers goalie Adam Miller with a firestorm of shots. Upperclassmen Matt Lane and Doyle Somerby will undoubtedly be in middle of the action Saturday night. Together, the two of them combined for three points in the loss to Union.

The week poses a great opportunity for Wisconsin to see how it stacks up against premier competition. The Badgers face off Friday and Saturday at 6 p.m.
