ASM election results announced, turnout low By Anna Duffin The Daily Cardinal
The Associated Students of Madison released the results of their fall election Wednesday night. UW-Madison first year students elected Andrew Bulovsky, Cody Ostenson, Arturo “Tito” Diaz and Sarah Neibart to serve on student council. The student body elected TJ Madsen, Michael Dowden, Rafael Yah, Jason Smathers and Andrea Bill to student council. Rae Lymer and Riaan Roux were elected to Student Services Finance Committee, the committee that distributes funds to UW-Madison student organizations. Election turnout was 6 percent, down from 7.2 percent last year. ASM Chair Brandon Williams said this turnout disappointed him. “We always strive to hit as high a mark as we possibly can, but fall elections are typically
less of a turnout than spring,” Williams said. Students’ votes also passed amendments changing Student Justices’ terms from four years to two and to remove the term “freshman” from the ASM constitution and redefine it as a “first year student.” At its weekly meeting Wednesday, ASM approved a grant for $12,000 to the Hoofer Ski and Snowboard Club for their Ski and Snowboard Rail Jam. This event will occur at Memorial Union in November. The student group will create a structure covered in snow for about 30 snowboarders to compete on. They predict around 1,000 students will attend. ASM also approved a $5,000 grant to help the EDGE Project, an initiative dedicated to international development, travel to Lingira Island in Uganda next June. This money will go toward travel expenses.
T.C. Katz was granted approval from the Madison Alcohol Licensing Review Committee for a 21-plus entertainment license Wednesday. The bar is located in the space previously occupied by Ram Head. In addition to finishing construction on the newly opened bar on North Henry Street, Co-owner Ryan Moore said he wants to add a list of headlining bands during the weekdays.
“We hope to have [disc jockey] s and cover bands playing popular music on weeknights starting in the next couple of months,” Moore said. Given the growing popularity of the bar on the weekends, Moore said he hopes to bring more business to the establishment during the week through live entertainment. “The cost for live entertainment is minimal. We’re happy to embrace it,” Moore said. Committee member Chet

Gerlach said he had concern for the level of disturbance the new entertainment could cause the surrounding community. “We have had problems in the past with certain kinds of entertainment that have proven to cause fights,” Gerlach said. Moore said he doesn’t think there should be anything that would disturb neighbors. “We’re in a basement … I don’t anticipate that anything would disalrc page 3
Police raid downtown massage parlor Madison Police raided the Rising Sun massage parlor at 117 W. Main St. Wednesday morning. The officers executed a search warrant at the massage parlor near the Capitol building, according to the incident report. Detectives were searching for evidence in an alleged prostitution investigation. Back in 2008 police investigated the sexual assault of a 5-year-old Madison girl on the city’s east side, according to the incident report. “Information gleaned in that case led to an ongoing investigation from which probable cause was developed for the execution of this morning’s search warrant,” Madison Police spokesperson Joel DeSpain said in a statement. Usually prostitution investigations are get underway as a result of citizen complaints, DeSpain said. Court documents have been sealed for three months and specifics of the case cannot be disclosed, according to the incident report. At this time no arrests have been made in the current case.
