Spring commencement to return to Camp Randall for second year By Phoebe Kiekhofer THE DAILY CARDINAL

On May 18, 2014, thousands of Badgers “jumped around” at Camp Randall Stadium as they would on any gameday Saturday, but for the first time in 24 years, the beloved tradition did not indicate the start of a fourth quarter. Instead, the stadium shook under the feet of UW-Madison’s class of 2014, freshly graduated and displaying its Wisconsin pride. Last year, spring commencement was held at Camp Randall for the first time since 1990, a tradition that is scheduled to return

for a second year this spring. Chancellor Rebecca Blank and the senior class 2014 committee made the decision to return the event to Camp Randall following the success of last spring’s commencement ceremony, Allison Golden, liaison between commencement ceremonies and the Chancellor’s office, said. “The chancellor said she was really looking for a way to elevate the commencement, to make it very special and memorable and to give a great showcase for the Wisconsin community,” Golden said. Golden said initial reactions

to the announcement of commencement in Camp Randall were mixed. Parents were disappointed they would not see their children walk across the stage or hear their names read. However, Golden said she did not receive any negative feedback from parents following last year’s ceremony. Class of 2014 graduate and class secretary Nick Checker said some expressed concern that students would not receive the same recognition at Camp Randall, forgoing the “two seconds of fame” they would other-

UW police investigate sexual assault An unidentified female UW-Madison student reported she was sexually assaulted early Saturday morning, according to a UW Police Department incident report. Though the location of the assault is still unconfirmed, police believe the crime, which the victim reported around 3 a.m.

Saturday, occurred off campus. UWPD has yet to identify the suspect who is described as a 5-foot-9-inch male likely between the ages of 19 and 24. He has a thin build and short, spiked blond hair, according to the report. The suspect was last seen wearing a blue plaid shirt with

Maria Estevez, a UW-Madison senior majoring in biomedical engineering, has been a research assistant in one of the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery’s BIONATES labs for the last three years, working to advance stem cell use and regenerative medicine through innovations in engineering. Estevez works on re-engineering human embryonic stem cells to function as brain cells. These new cells are then used to model and study diseases that affect the human brain. More notable than Estevez’s unique experience in such a rising field, however, is her position as a woman in research. Having been a teacher’s assistant in an introductory engineering lecture, Estevez has seen some of the patterns in class demographics first-hand. “A lot of girls start coming into the intro to engineering classes, but you go through the years and, class by class, there are less of them,” Estevez said. These concerns aside, Estevez acknowledged that efforts by the College of Engineering and the WID to attract more girls to science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields have

been effective. As an example, she pointed to private tutoring offered by the College of Engineering specifically for female and minority students enrolled in STEM classes, which she considers one of the most useful opportunities available to historically underrepresented students in these fields. She added that all students have the same faculties, but lack of support, encouragement and the presence of psychological barriers can often affect different people in different ways. Therefore, she said this kind of tutoring has the potential to be incredibly helpful in closing the achievement gap and increasing retention rates. Perhaps the biggest hurdle facing women, Estevez contended, is balancing priorities. Sometime in their lives women must make decisions about family and choices about their roles at home, she said. Perhaps considering her own varied interests, such as a mission trip she hopes to take in the future, Estevez said it is important for women to find meaningful work they are passionate about. “I think it’s easy to define ourselves by our careers,” she said. “I’m just a biologist, or he’s just an engineer. But we are so much more than just our careers.”

Man arrested for taking nude pictures of tanning woman Officers arrested 28-year-old Madison resident Benjamin J. H. Brossard for taking pictures of a nude woman at an East Campus Mall tanning salon at 5 p.m. Oct. 3, according to a Madison Police Department incident report. MPD arrested Brossard Thursday on tentative charges

of representations depicting nudity, according to the report. The 24-year-old woman reported to police a person in a neighboring booth had slipped a phone into the tanning area, according to the report. MPD spokesperson Joel DeSpain wrote in the report the victim said she believed Brossard

used the phone to take pictures of her while she was undressed. Following the initial investigation, police identified the suspect, Brossard, and took him into custody, according to the report. The tanning salon business is being very cooperative with the ongoing investigation, DeSpain wrote in the report.

Halloween happenings, from sexy to safety

edit@dailycardinal.com

tuesday: partly sunny

Alex tucker sex columnist

h, Halloween. Some argue it’s the most magical time of the year in Madison, an improved “season of miracles,” if you will. We get to dress up, enjoy an adult beverage or six with our friends and storm State Street checking out concerts and costumes alike! Today we’re going to break down the five C’s of Halloween. They are: Costumes! Candy! Consent! Creeps! And CONDOMS! Yay!

intoxicated we are, the more trouble we can get into. Have fun, but be responsible. Do what makes you feel best.

Consent

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: consent is necessary before engaging in any sort of sexual activity. Consent is a clear, freely given, informed, enthusiastic yes and not the absence of a no. There should be no “Blurred Lines,” Robin Thicke. No means no, yes means yes.

Freakfest can be full of people looking to take advantage of innocent guests ... we should all be ready to protect our fellow Badgers.

Costumes

People always ask me, “What’s too skanky for Halloween?” Nothing, sillies! We should be able to dress as whatever we feel like wearing. From Renaissance Maiden to Sexy Mouse, duh, Halloween is “the one day a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything else about it,” according to Mean Girls. [Sex Columnist Note: While we don’t like using the word “slut” in real life, I’m all about maintaining quote integrity. What are your priorities on Halloween?] We’ve got to wear what we feel comfortable in, and comfort means safety. Please don’t freeze. People will still find us attractive even if we wear long pants or a jacket or glovesies. Take care of you on this special day. Halloween will not be fun if frostbite gets in the way.

Candy

By candy, I mean ALCHY. People who like to drink, drink! But don’t put yourself in danger just for the “fun” of it. Freakfest can get freaky, in good ways and bad. The more

But what about alcohol? What about drugs? How can I tell if my partner is sober enough to bone? Quit your whining! If our partners are stumbling, throwing up, slurring, belligerently complimenting people on bad costumes, or passed out, they are too intoxicated to give consent. At Sex Out Loud, we like to say that if we wouldn’t trust our partners to drive us in our car, we cannot trust that their “yes” is freely given.

Creeps

…and I’m not talking about the kind from the Munsters! Freakfest can be full of people looking to take advantage of innocent guests. Whether trying to steal our wallets or take us home without permission, these assholes are a problem during Halloween and we

On this day in history... 1969—The Nobel Prize in Economics is awarded to John Tinbergen, inventor of the piggy bank. 1985— Billy Martin is fired by the New York Yankees for the fourth time. He still doesn’t get the message and shows up for work the next day. 1997—The United States releases a redesigned $50 bill, replacing Ulysses S. Grant’s face with that of actor Nicolas Cage. 2011—The Royal Australian Navy discovers the wreck of a World War II submarine in Simpson Harbour, Papua New Guinea. They rescue the elderly Japanese crew that was trapped inside the sub for nearly

should all be ready to protect our fellow Badgers from their bull-shit antics. We’re all one big part of the Badger community, and it’s our responsibility to help each other out. Some scenarios with creepy motherfuckers that we can do something about: If we see a person buying tons of drinks for somebody else while they themself are just sipping on one, we should do our best to get in between this potential victim and perpetrator. By simply pulling either one aside and asking, “Aren’t we in English class together,” we can throw off the potential perpetrator’s game and help pull our new friend away from the situation. If we witness a thievery, i.e. someone reaching into a person’s pocket or purse while everyone’s busy raving, we should try and fucking stop it! If we just let the bad guy take somebody’s stuff when we could’ve intervened, we are failing our friends! Just say something to this douche, like, “Is that your stuff ?” or “Why are you touching their things?” or “Dude get the fuck out of here!” Although it may seem intimidating, bystander inter-

vention has been proven to work time and time again. Put yourself out there and protect your fellow Sconnies!

Condoms

Getting laid during Halloween rocks, or so I hear. We should make sure we enjoy it to the full potential by avoiding “protection panic,” when nary a condom is to be found. Stock up by visiting Sex Out Loud in the week leading up to our big night(s), or visit Condoms & Candy to play games and find the uh… good stuff (that’s right, we’ve got Trojans!). Remember to ask Sex Out Loud’s staff to demonstrate how to correctly use one of those babies. Condoms are 99 percent effective when used properly, however some 70 percent of people don’t know the ins and outs of putting on a condom. But we can help! Stop by! DO IT! Sick of Alex’s shameless plugs? Go to Sex Out Loud’s Condoms & Candy on East Campus Mall from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Oct. 31 to shake your finger at her. If you like, want to, you can also email sex@dailycardinal.com and she’ll write you something trick or treaty.

UW sees slight rise in gameday citations

Democrats criticize Gov. Scott Walker for refusing early education money State Rep. Terese Berceau, D-Madison, joined other Wisconsin Democrats in a letter criticizing Gov. Scott Walker for declining up to $60 million in early education grants last week. Walker failed to apply for the federal Preschool Development Expansion Grants offered through the U.S. Departments

“Directing resources to quality preschool programs is on of the best investments we can make.”

democratic legislators state assembly Wisconsin

of Education and Health and Human Services by the deadline last Friday. Wisconsin was one of 36 states eligible for the grants. Berceau, who represents the campus area in the state Assembly, sent a letter to Walker expressing her disappointment in his decision to turn away the

taxpayer-funded grants. “Directing resources to quality preschool programs is one of the best investments we can make,” the legislators said in the letter. Berceau cited a study by the Perry Preschool Program in Michigan claiming increased spending on early education resulted in students who are more likely to stay in school and find jobs while being less likely to be arrested and be dependent on welfare. “To reject this grant money means Wisconsin will lose out on almost $1 billion in future benefits,” the representatives continued in the letter. Berceau went on to accuse Walker of making a partisan decision that will have negative long-term effects in Wisconsin. “Caring about children and maximizing their potential shouldn’t be a partisan issue,” Berceau said in the letter. The letter concluded by claiming that as a result of Walker’s decision, “children won’t get the kind of quality, early education they deserve.” —Eric Cummings

Senior Class Committee President Maria Giannopolous said that she, her committee and the chancellor did not have to think twice about the return to Camp Randall. Giannopolous said Camp

Randall’s ability to hold all the graduates at once makes commencement ceremonies more convenient and organized. She also said commencement at Camp Randall holds sentimental value for her because it is “so deeply rooted into tradition.” “Something that I’ve always enjoyed is being able to go to Camp Randall for gameday,” Giannopolous said. “I think it’s a really great way to end out my senior year and graduate in a place that means so much to me.”

The UW-Madison Police Department saw a slight increase in the number of underage alcohol citations during Saturday’s homecoming football game against Maryland, according to a UWPD report. UWPD issued 21 underage drinking citations Saturday as compared to the 18 given at the last home game against Illinois, Oct. 11. Police also gave citations for obstructing or resisting arrest as well as disorderly conduct, both of which were not issued at the Illinois game. UWPD ejected 42 people from the stadium and wrote 24 citations. Nineteen of the ejections and 15 of the citations involved UW-Madison students. The Illinois game saw 39 ejections. In total, paramedics were called 10 times, two ambulances were summoned and four people were sent to detox. The highest blood alcohol content recorded decreased to 0.279 this week from last game’s 0.292.

Drunken woman sideswipes police officer’s squad car A police officer conducting a traffic stop on the 1100 block of Williamson Street was sideswiped in his vehicle by another driver Saturday at 10 p.m, according to a Madison Police Department incident report. MPD Officer Kevin Michigan was seated in his squad car when 23-year-old

Madison resident Kirsti L. Walker sideswiped the driver side and damaged the rear axle, disabling the vehicle. The suspect continued driving half a city block until her own car broke down from damages sustained in the crash. Michigan then contacted Walker and took her into cus-

tody, according to the report. Walker had a BAC of .20, more than twice the legal limit of .08. The officer charged her with operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, failure to move over for an emergency vehicle and hit and run. Neither driver was injured during the Saturday night incident.

Scott Walker launches bus tour in final days of campaign Gov. Scott Walker began a 10-day tour across Wisconsin Saturday to rally supporters and continue to spread his campaign message. Walker plans to emphasize his platform for a second term, including bolstering worker training, helping taxpayers keep more of their paychecks and reducing people’s dependence on government, according to a

Friday press release. “Wisconsin is on a comeback and we are heading in the right direction with more than 110,000 new jobs and the lowest unemployment rate since 2008,” Walker said in the release. “I’m excited to cover the state in the next 10 days and share this great story with voters.” The tour includes stops all around the state and features

guest speakers including U.S. Rep. Reid Ribble, R-Wis., who joined Walker Saturday, according to the release. Ribble will join Walker again Monday along with Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, state Sen. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, and state Sen. Glenn Grothman, R-Campbellsport, who is running for Wisconsin’s 6th Congressional District seat.

Conservationists teach endangered cranes to migrate

SHOAIB ATLAF/CARDINAL FILE PHOTO

Gov. Scott Walker came under fire in a letter sent by Democratic legislators for refusing a federal grant for early childhood education.

Wisconsin conservationists helped seven Whooping cranes migrate south this fall, according to a report released Friday. The Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership gradually combats crane extinction with a bird sanctuary dedicated to the endangered species. The cranes, endangered in Wisconsin, hatch in the late spring or summer and then are trained

for survival in the wild. Trainers teach the cranes to follow aircraft flown by Operation Migration, Inc. to Florida for their first migration. The Whooping cranes then travel on their own between the site in Wisconsin and a protected wildlife reserve in Florida each year. The organization has employed two methods and is in the process

of researching which is more effective. One dresses OM workers in bird costumes to avoid humans being imprinted by the baby cranes. The other uses captive parent cranes to raise them. The WCEP has helped 106 cranes learn to migrate to and from Florida to date, helping to bring the crane population up from 21 in the 1940s to approximately 450.

Journalist Naomi Klein to give third UW Distinguished Lecture Series presentation Tuesday Award-winning journalist, columnist and author Naomi Klein will speak at UW-Madison’s third Distinguished Lecture Series installment Tuesday.

Klein will present her number one international bestseller “The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism,” a nonfiction book that has appeared on multiple book lists and has been

dubbed a “movement bible” by The New York Times, according to a university release. “The Shock Doctrine” has been published in 30 languages and has over a million copies

in print. An influential voice in today’s societal issues, Klein is presently working on a book and film about the current climate crisis and the possible economic and

political changes associated with it, according to the release. The lecture will be held in Memorial Union’s Shannon Hall at 7:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

By Cheyenne Langkamp THE DAILY CARDINAL

For anyone who grew up in the ’90s and 2000s, you’re probably familiar with Dave Chappelle. The trailblazing comedian is most famous for spending two seasons hosting his own sketch comedy show “Chappelle’s Show” on Comedy Central before abruptly leaving in 2006 with no explanation. Since then no one has really known what Chappelle has been up to until seemingly out of nowhere he announced a standup tour which brought him to Madison’s Orpheum Theatre for a total of six shows this weekend. Chappelle is known for making waves with his controversial and in-your-face style of comedy. His show is proof that he has never been afraid to write a sketch about an uncomfortable topic, in fact he thrives on it. Going into his live show it was hard to know what would be coming, and expectations were only heightened by the fact that many never expected to get a chance to see Chappelle. It was hard not to wonder how the outspoken and outlandish Chappelle I grew up watching would translate to a live stage after so many years away. But there were no disappointments. Despite his time out of the spotlight, Chappelle has cer-

tainly maintained his tendency toward inappropriate and raunchy jokes. He was not at all shy when divulging personal stories about inappropriate videotapes and fights with his wife. He also has, from my live stand-up experience, an unparalleled ability to slowly build a joke, keeping the audience waiting on the edge

of their seats. It was pleasantly surprising to hear much of the show’s most laughable moments draw upon personal stories from his family and work life, showing a different side of the traditionally sketch and character driven comedy he provided on his show. Having been one of the earliest and most outspoken com-

he two newest video game consoles, the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4, are somewhat lacking in games you can play with your friends. The PlayStation 4 actually has numerous great titles, but they mostly run the gamut of smaller independent titles. I recommend the excellent “Nidhogg,” “TowerFall Ascension” and “Sportsfriends.” While all three together cost less than a $60 retail game, they also don’t look like games one might expect to see on powerful new game consoles— “Towerfall” and “Nidhogg” both utilize the pixel art graphical style from the medium’s early days, and “Sportsfriends” combines pixel art with an animated cartoon aesthetic. Apart from gallivanting through Nintendo’s wonderful worlds of “Mario Kart 8,” the new “Super Smash Brothers,” “Super Mario 3D World” and “Nintendo Land” on the Wii U console, released in 2012, there aren’t many high-definition games that a group of friends can huddle around, grab controllers and play with and against each other. But if you open yourself up to turning off the lights and letting one person guide you through the scariest haunted houses this side of Screamin’ Acres, the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 offer a few outstanding choices. The obsession of gaming writers for the last month has been the highbudget “Alien: Isolation,” a game which fills in the story between the 1979 Ridley Scott masterpiece film “Alien” and the ’86 action-oriented sequel “Aliens.” “Isolation” works to emulate the former—one single

creature roams the walls and vents of the Sevastopol, a civilian space station that has fallen into disrepair after obtaining the flight recorder of the first film’s Nostromo. The player takes on the role of Ellen Ripley’s daughter Amanda, an engineer who seeks to find out what happened to her mother when she disappeared fifteen years prior. “Isolation” is breathtaking to see. Scattered shudders of light drip into abandoned medical offices and every time Ripley unlocks the shutters a gorgeous space vista opens itself. The trick of the game is that the alien itself is unshackled from the game’s script; while scared survivalists and creepy androids will always appear in the same hallways, the alien can appear any time, and Ripley never has the resources necessary to take it down once and for all. It is a lonely and tense experience, but one that recaptures the core of the original film, and its scares and sights are worth the trip. For those looking to delve a little darker, both consoles are also host to “The Evil Within,” the new game from the creator of the “Resident Evil” game franchise, Shinji Mikami. The game follows a detective into a murder scene; security footage reveals a killer who appears to be faster than the eye can see before the killer appears and knocks out the detective. He awakens in a basement with a butchering torturer, and after escaping, the world seems to have turned upside down. What is real is left for the player to determine as they explore the world’s worst Wonderland. The game is more action-oriented than “Alien: Isolation,” giving the player several weapons to knock down leagues

of the undead, the macabre and the insane. It’s less intellectually stimulating and less original than “Isolation,” but for those who prefer gore and action to hiding in lockers, it is likely the better choice. But I’ve saved the scariest for last. Quietly, Konami released a free PlayStation 4 horror game named “P.T.” We’ve since come to learn that it is a playable teaser for an upcoming release in a major horror franchise, but the game stands alone, resting comfortably between a two or three hour playtime. Everything that needs to be known about it occurs in its first hallway, the main entryway to a large home. The player character can only open a couple of doors, with most appearing to be locked. A light swings above the front door, creaking loudly. The main character is too tall for the hallway, his head almost reaching the ceiling, but the ceilings also seem too tall for the cabinets and picture frames shown about them. A radio blares with a conservative radio host describing the murder of a wife and child by a delusional husband, sitting on a large cabinet with far too much trash surrounding its family photos. At the end of the hallway is an open door to a basement, the basement door closed below. I was so unsettled that when I finally mustered the courage to open the basement door, I could barely continue after seeing the surprise on the other side. Things only get worse as time goes on. You’ll just have to see for yourself. “Alien: Isolation” and “The Evil Within” are available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC for $60, both in stores and downloadable. “P.T.” is available on PlayStation 4 online store.

ics unafraid to develop his jokes around social issues, I was interested to see what would be Chappelle’s shtick of choice given today’s current events, some new since his time off the stage and some old, which he had already addressed but have persisted. I wasn’t surprised by the topics Chappelle chose, but it’s impos-

sible to ignore the ones that made me feel a bit uncomfortable. I was barely amused by his opening piece about the Ray Rice videotape and our country’s approach to domestic violence, more unsettling jokes followed about homosexuality and women. I started to question whether I would be willing to let any other comedian off so easily with a seemingly nonchalant approach to issues I care about. Then, about halfway through the show, Chappelle told a story about his son’s private school and a classmate who had lesbian parents. He remembers making a joke to the two of them, asking which one would be taking their son to the upcoming Father Son picnic. One of them took the joke well, the other not so well. Chappelle explained that the former understood that he was only messing around—he had meant no harm and really didn’t care which would escort their son to the event. This gets to the core of what Dave Chappelle has tried to accomplish during his career. He’s unafraid to use insensitive topics to push people to their limits—he forces us to evaluate our stereotypes and mindsets and uses comedy to make us question why they feel so uncomfortable. At the end of the day, he’s not just a funny man—though he’s funny as hell— he has always had bigger goals than just making us laugh.

RECORD ROUTINE Pop-rock icon Billy Idol falls flat on most recent studio album ALBUM REVIEW

Kings & Queens of the Underground Billy Idol By Kyle Dougherty THE DAILY CARDINAL

On Kings & Queens of the Underground, pop-rock icon Billy Idol croons, belts and yells through his trademark sardonic sneer against a generic but fitting backdrop of 80s arena rock production. There is both legitimate appeal and some camp appeal, depending on how you feel about ‘80s-era pre-packaged sex, drugs and rock n’ roll aesthetic, but the album isn’t far enough in either direction to make it great for either crowd. Idol’s persona worked great for the over-the-top darkness and sensuality of hits like “White Wedding” and “Rebel Yell,” but now that he’s approaching age 60 it comes across a little unsettling. It’s hard to shake the image of an aging man desperately trying to cling to an aesthetic that worked so well for him 30 years ago, and this imbues every song with a strange, depressing element. But the album is still full of decent to good, if maybe a little too safe, melodies. The verses

and choruses resonate on repeat listens. It works best as background music, because there’s not quite enough of interest in the songs to maintain the listener’s close attention. The lyrics fill their role for the most part—they’re tales of mysteriously foreboding love, alternately saved and betrayed. There are a few clunky lines, most notably during “One Breath Away,” when Idol croons, “You touched the child / inside the man.” It’s not a bad description once he completes the sentence, but it’s the kind of thing that will make you do an auditory double-take. The song does feature cool, stuttery guitar solo with huge swelling keyboards behind it. “Whiskey and Pills,” the album’s closer, is a nice, rocking change from the string of ballads that precede it, but feels like it’s trying a little too hard to be a love letter to hard partying. It’s ironic hearing a song that glorifies using drugs and alcohol to get through the day after an album that featured several songs referring to and lamenting Idol’s past difficulties with drug addiction. A sense of awkwardness permeates the work—of a man trying to relive and reclaim glories long past, feeling that he’ll shoot right back to the top if he just does what he did before. Listening to it, you just want to give him a side hug and pat on the back.

UW needs to expand weak certificate offerings HENRY SOLOTAROFF-WEBBER Opinion Columnist

hen I was navigating the majors fair this past Wednesday I was very impressed by the sheer breadth of majors that our university offers across many fields and disciplines. It truly is encouraging to know that I have the option to make many different areas my main focus during my time here. What was discouraging however was the “no” I received when I would walk up to many tables and ask if they offered a certificate in their department. While I understand that it would be logistically difficult for every major to have a corresponding minor, the fact that

there are around 160 majors available at UW Madison and only about 50 minors is concerning to me. The reason for my concern over this is because one of the main goals of our university, as well as most universities, is to allow students to pursue many academic interests while focusing on a few. The problem is that the way our school’s current certificate structure is set up, there is not a lot of incentive to explore earning a certificate. For example, say I have two majors but I would love to be fluent or at least be able to communicate in Spanish, Arabic or Chinese, the three most spoken languages in the world. None of those language departments offer a certificate, only a major. Because of this, there is little

incentive to stretch my schedule aside to accommodate that interest from filling out my general education requirement and credits to graduate. Under the current set up, when I actually create my resume for employers, I will not have anything solid to prove I can communicate in those languages.

The problem is that the way our school’s current certificate structure is set up, there is not a lot of incentive to explore earning a certificate.

More importantly, while it could be implausible, the idea of being able to get a certifi-

cate in any field in my school of choice is one that I believe should happen. If our university truly is convinced that a diversified education is the way to go, then it should provide its students the incentive to actually follow their interests. This is opposed to the current setup in which we are required to simply check off general education requirements, which encourages students to simply look for easy classes outside of their main interests so that their GPA does not take a hit. Finally, despite the argument of this article, I do encourage students who are not sure of what to take outside of classes for their major to look into the current certificates available at the university. Some of them are conventional in that they

are light versions of the major, however there are a significant amount that involve interesting seminars for the minor as well as capstones that only exist for the minor as well. While, the current resources available for us to do this are limited, we should all still try to broaden our horizons with the diverse education available to us at our renowned university. Henry is a freshman columnist for The Daily Cardinal. Do you think that our university needs to improve the number of certificates offered? Would expanding our certificate oppurtunities improve our community and help our graduates more in the workplace?

Water pollution poses huge domestic environmental threat BRENT SOHNGEN Letter To The Editor

here’s pretty clear evidence that the wealthier people are, they demand a cleaner environment. This plays out internationally for sure, but also here in the US, where wealthier states tend to spend more on the environment. Sure, Rachel Carson, the Cuyahoga River, and Love Canal had a big impact on our national psyche, but the reality is that we only addressed our pollution problems when we got rich enough to do so. So as time marches on, we in the US will just keep demanding a better environment. But will we get a better environment? Only by luck. Our environmental rules and regulations have become so bogged down in bureaucracy and entrenched interests that we are wasting enormous resources trying to solve problems that should cost us much less. It

needn’t be this way. Consider the example of the city of Toledo, Ohio, which over the summer had to warn its residents not to use city water. This problem went far beyond the typical boil alert. In this case, residents were told not only that they could not drink the water, but they were not supposed to use it in any way. Tests had revealed the presence of algae that is potentially harmful for humans to even contact. Imagine living in a place where contamination is so bad you cannot even take a bath. Sounds like a different country, doesn’t it? They key pollutant causing this problem is phosphorus, attributed heavily to runoff from farming operations. Unfortunately, this problem was aided by government. For years, taxpayers have invested significantly in efforts to reduce the environmental impacts of farming. Payments rose steadily from the 1980s to the present. National

total expenditures for environmental improvements on farms now are above $5 billion per year, or $16 per acre of cropland. Even as these payments increased over the past two decades, water pollution problems worsened. It would be convenient to blame people who live in cities, but cities and factories have made dramatic and verifiable reductions in their phosphorus emissions. So why are our large, publicly funded investments in reducing pollution from farming not paying off? The reasons are not that difficult to figure out. First, government has to spread the money out across lots of farmers, lest anyone complain about access. There is very little triage, or targeting, done to ensure that the money is directed to those farmers who can actually solve an identifiable problem. Second, there is no incentive to innovate to solve the problem. The government’s funds can only be used on farming practices that

have been included on a government approved list. That’s right, if a farmer has a new idea that could work, but it is not on the list, it cannot be used until it gets on the list. Of course, new ideas make their way onto the list, but it takes time, and energy, and lots of resources. In the meantime, the problem persists. Third, the economic incentives underlying these programs skew the payments towards infrastructure and capital expenditures. The phosphorus problem in the Lake Erie basin is a management problem, not capital problem. We do not actually need more capital to solve the problem, we just need better management, but the money largely cannot be allocated to change management. Fourth, when the government does pay for “management” the incentives are flawed and lots of money is wasted. They pay farmers to develop nutrient management plans. Plans do not cost much, but the resulting actions

are costly. So farmers either develop plans that don’t cost too much, or they develop plans that have real costs, but they don’t implement them. So how do we solve this problem? We can start by changing the emphasis of agri-environmental policy away from the current large-scale subsidy system and towards an incentive-based system that rewards performance and innovation. Farmers in watersheds with identifiable problems should face penalties or pollution taxes, while farmers in watersheds without those problems should be free to run their operations without government interference. As long as the penalties or taxes are high enough, farmers will have a strong incentive to figure out how to reduce pollution on their own.

Football continues to set poor example of moral character in society BRENT SOHNGEN Letter To The Editor

t is a sick joke on the victims of sexual assault and abuse. Eric Barron was president of Florida State University in 2012 when Jameis Winston, who would go on to win the Heisman, was accused of rape. The university and the Tallahassee Police Department failed to adequately investigate, sweeping the charges under the rug. The university’s failure is an apparent violation of federal law. And yet somehow, earlier this year, Mr. Barron was appointed president of Penn State University, a school infamous for the coverups of child sexual abuse in its football program. The news is filled with accusations of disturbing crimes at all levels of football—high school, college, and pro. Offenders must face prosecution. Unfortunately, it is too often the case that police, prosecutors, school administrators, coaches and parents are

willing to overlook crimes. Take Ray Rice. He avoided three to five years in prison through a pretrial intervention program that was granted in less than 1 percent of domestic violence cases. And the NFL gave Rice only a two-game suspension until public outcry forced the league’s hand.

Unfortunately, it is too often the case that police, prosecutors, school administrators, coaches and parents are willing to overlook crimes.

Back to the case of Jameis Winston—the investigating police officer, who prosecutors blame for a series of mistakes, had a conflict of interest. An investigation by the New York Times found he had done private security work for the Seminole Boosters, the primary financial

backer of Florida State athletics. The Seminole Boosters also paid a quarter of FSU president Eric Barron’s $602,000 salary. And sadly these cases extend down to the high school level. We have just recently learned of the sexual assault charges for seven upperclassman at Sayreville War Memorial High School. But what most outrages the parents of these children? The football season has been cancelled. Football’s troubles do not stem simply from the thugs who commit these crimes. Local school districts, the NCAA, and the NFL are all to blame. They have murky, arbitrary rules so that the system can be gamed to benefit the teams and the leagues. This extends below the criminal level. Bill Bellichick remains the Patriots’ head coach after a cheating scandal in which NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell had the evidence destroyed. Jim Tressel was forced to resign as Ohio State’s coach because of his knowledge of a

merchandise-for-tattoos scandal that he ignored. But Tressel, despite his lack of academic credentials, has now become Youngstown State University’s president, where he has authority over athletics. And now this week, the University of North Carolina has been caught in a long-running academic fraud scandal. The system is deeply flawed. And thus we come to the work of Jean Tirole, who won the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences last week. He is best known for his work on regulation, and our interest here is in the study of “regulatory capture,” where a regulator colludes its industry. Despite their clear monopoly status, the NFL and NCAA face little oversight from government. Both self-regulate. The NCAA was created in response to regulatory concerns raised by Teddy Roosevelt. Schools likely prevented increased scrutiny by forming their own regulatory body. Should anyone be surprised that a system

controlled by member schools or the NFL team owners fails to adequately police its league? A key lesson from Tirole is that each industry is fundamentally different, and its regulation must be handled in a way that prevents abuse but also allows the economic actors to succeed. Government should tread lightly. Too often, government will jump into the regulatory game and create impossibly complex rules in which punishments are negotiated, arbitrary, and lacking transparency. That would perpetuate the current system. Instead, rules must be concise and set clear standards for how problems should be addressed. It is little wonder that football seems out of control when those involved in the sport have been able to push the boundaries for so long. Hopefully football can be saved from its failed self-regulation. Brent Sohngen is an environmental economics professor at Ohio State University.

Kodee Williams knocked in both of the Badgers’ goals of the week, delivering a pair of strong wins in the Big Ten stretch. By Bobby Ehrlich the daily cardinal

The No. 13 Badgers (9-2-1 Big Ten, 15-2-1 overall) picked up two hard-fought wins over the weekend in their final homestand of the year. Wisconsin defeated then-Big Ten title contender No. 17 Rutgers (7-4-1, 11-4-1) Friday 1-0. Two days later, the Badgers battled to earn another 1-0 win against Maryland in double overtime. The weekend’s effort was highlighted by two clutch goals from senior forward Kodee Williams, both headers. Friday’s match against Rutgers, which was also Senior Night, was a fight to stay alive in the conference championship hunt. With both teams tied at 22 points and trailing Big Ten leading Penn State by two points, the winner would still have a shot at the title, while the loser’s chances would

be extinguished. The first half began as a back and forth battle for possession, with neither team gaining much of an advantage. Fifteen minutes into the half, Wisconsin hit the gas pedal, creating a flurry of offensive chances. Williams had three great scoring chances within a three minute span, including a point blank attempt off a pass from sophomore midfielder Rose Lavelle, that Williams missed just wide right of the net. Shortly after that miss, Williams capitalized off a feed from freshman midfielder Becca Harrison in the 25th minute. Harrison made an attempt at a cross from the right side of the field which was kicked away by Rutgers defenders. However, she hustled after her own pass, regained control of the ball in the box, turned and fired a

second cross to Williams, who headed it into the back right corner of the net. The second half proved to play out an entirely different script than the first half as it was Rutgers turn to apply the offensive pressure. “Rutgers is a tough team and we knew that coming in,” Williams said. “By the end of the second half, we were just trying to play solid defense.” The Wisconsin defense buckled down, snuffing out several chances before they even reached redshirt senior goalkeeper Genevieve Richard. Nonetheless, Richard, who was making her 42nd start in goal for the Badgers, came up huge in the second half, accumulating save after save. She finished with six in the game, with five of those coming in the second half. With five minutes left in the game, Rutgers entered desperation mode and unloaded chance after chance against the Wisconsin defense. But the Badgers’ back line, including redshirt senior defender Alexandra Heller, resisted the strong pressure. Richard made two saves in the waning minutes of the contest, including catching an attempt from inside the box with three minutes to play. She captured her Big Ten leading 10th shutout. “I think they knew what was at stake and it’s the sign of a mature team,” said head Coach Paula Wilkins of their effort. Unfortunately, Wisconsin’s regular season conference title hopes were dashed on Sunday, as Penn State (11-1-0, 16-2-0) defeated Iowa (7-4-1, 12-5-1) to clinch the title. That didn’t stop the Badgers from pulling out a second gritty win in Madison, marking the eighth home win on the campaign. This is the first time

Wisconsin has won eight home games since 2000. The Badgers defeated a pesky Maryland team (3-4-5, 5-6-6) that has a knack for ties, which Wilkins mentioned was a testament to the Terrapins tough defense. As the game went on, Maryland looked poised for an unprecedented seventh tie on the season. Wisconsin’s defense turned in another stout performance, holding Maryland to just three shots on goal, all which were stopped by Richard, as she earned her 11th shutout. “We didn’t give up anything defensively, which I’m proud of,” Wilkins said. “At this time of the year you want your team to feel like they can get through anything. I think a hard game on Friday and a hard game on Sunday against two very good teams was a good thing.” Offensively, Wisconsin was able to put up eight shots on goal, but could not find the back of the net until the 103rd minute. Lavelle sent a corner kick to Williams, who scored another header to win the game. “I don’t want to say it’s the highlight of my career, because it’s not done yet, but for sure it’s up there with my top moments in soccer,” Williams said. “It’s so funny, because I have literally never scored a header goal in my whole life and this weekend I scored two.” In her final homestand, Williams came up clutch twice for Wisconsin, propelling the Badgers to two victories and continuing to raise the confidence of the team. The Badgers have one regular season game remaining next Friday as they take on Illinois on the road. Wisconsin will look to extend their winning streak to five games as they head into postseason play.

UW takes back-to-back wins in weekend

“That was definitely a coach Ryan move,” sophomore forward Vitto Brown said after the game. “He just wanted see if we could play some defense in the clutch moments. We didn’t,” Brown chuckled as Pharell’s “Happy” played in the background. The featured star of the game was Kaminsky, who finished with 23 points on 15 field goal attempts, both game-highs. Junior forward Sam Dekker was penciled in to star on White, but had to sit out due to an ankle sprain suffered in practice earlier in the week. Dekker was visible in pregame walking and dribbling around the court. One performance that definitely surprised was the 14-point outburst from freshman guard T.J. Schlundt. In his first action on the Kohl Center floor, the walk-on was a perfect 4-of4 from deep and finished with 14 points. While cool to watch, Ryan thought the opportunities came from mostly defensive mishaps. “He was open, that’s what I thought of T.J.” Ryan said. “I can’t believe they left him open. He’s going to hit those shots.” Even though the game itself was intense, the whole event carried its usual lighthearted atmosphere. Brown sang his baritone National Anthem, a running clock was used to keep the game short and the halftime show featured dunks and three-point contests. 8,002 fans attended the fun, completely filling the lower bowl of the arena. With the Badgers in the Top 5 of the coaches poll and picked to win the Big Ten by virtually every media outlet, fan interest is at an all-time high and it showed in the crowd today. “There’s never been a line like there was this time before we opened the doors. We’ve never had a crowd like this,” Ryan said almost incredulously. “Maybe they heard Vitto was singing the national anthem, so it increased attendance ... To get this kind of crowd in October, it’s a lot of fun.”

Badgers bounce back with road sweep By Lorin Cox the daily cardinal

After a sweep last week at the hands of rival Minnesota, the Badgers (6-2-0 WCHA, 8-2-0 overall) headed to Bemidji State and got their season back on track with a sweep of their own over the Beavers. Wisconsin started strong on Friday, holding the home team to just two shots in the first period, while racking up nine of its own, leading to a goal by senior forward Katy Josephs just over 10 minutes in. The second period brought some controversy as the Beavers thought they scored the equalizing goal, but it was waved off for being kicked into the net. The Badgers were quick to respond, when freshman forward Baylee Wellhausen sent one of the team’s 13 shots past the Bemidji State goaltender. A few UW penalties gave BSU more opportunities, but sophomore goaltender AnnRenee Desbiens stood strong

and kept the shutout going until late in the third period, when the Beavers were able to score on their fourth and final power play of the night. The late rally was not enough, and Wisconsin held on for the 2-1 victory. “We came out a little flat in the beginning, but once we got that period out of the way we came out hard and we remained aggressive,” Wellhausen said. “I think that was the most positive thing today.” That aggression carried over to Saturday, as Wisconsin came out firing. The shots came in bunches, and it took only three minutes before redshirt senior forward Brittany Ammerman lit the lamp on an unassisted goal. Bemidji State responded quickly, tying the game 49 seconds later on a solo shot of their own. Wisconsin kept firing though, putting up 18 shots in the first period, and took the lead once again halfway through the period

on freshman forward Emily Clark’s goal. The next two periods were more of the same. Forwards Sarah Nurse, a sophomore, and Annie Pankowski, a freshman, scored within the first two minutes of the second and third periods, respectively. In both periods, the Beavers were quick to respond, scoring their own goals. In the end, that second firstperiod goal by Clark proved to be the difference maker as the Badgers came out on top 4-3. The two wins mean Wisconsin now leads the WCHA in points and figures to spend the entirety of conference play in a two-horse race with Minnesota. With some momentum on their side, Wisconsin heads to North Dakota next weekend. UND was ranked eighth before getting swept by Minnesota this past weekend, and the mascotless team should be another test for UW early in this season. UWBadgers.com contributed to this report.

they [Purdue] are a good team,” Morey said. “We are not looking ahead or behind, just tuned into the upcoming opponent.” Wisconsin plays No. 13 Purdue (8-2, 18-4) in West Lafayette, Indiana Wednesday night. “This Sunday and then Wednesday turn around and we are playing a team that is second in the league in 72 hours,” Sheffield said. “They don’t give any medal or cookies for those who finish first halfway through, so there is a long part of the season left and we need to continue to get better.”

Badger passing game shells Terrapins By Jim Dayton the daily cardinal

In the team’s most complete effort of the season, Wisconsin thoroughly dominated Maryland in a 52-7 victory Saturday at Camp Randall. The outcome was never in doubt. Though slow starts have plagued them all season long, the Badgers established the tempo early when Melvin Gordon scored on Wisconsin’s first drive, the first of three touchdowns he had on the day. Many expected Gordon to run wild Saturday considering the Terrapins were ranked 104th in run defense coming into the game. Though he scored three times and ran for 122 yards, Maryland held the Heisman candidate to 5.5 yards per carry, his second-lowest average of the season. Wisconsin’s defense was the real star of the day. Facing a Maryland team that had been averaging 35 points per game, the Badgers stifled the Terrapins while allowing just 175 total yards of offense. Maryland converted only three of its 15 third down attempts and also failed twice on fourth down. Getting two players back from injury was key for the Wisconsin defense. Redshirt senior nose guard Warren Herring and redshirt senior Marcus Trotter both returned after missing a combined six full games. “I had to get back into the speed of the game. The first couple of plays wasn’t my best,” Herring said. “But as the game went on it definitely picked up. Guys were

moving a little bit faster and I had to loosen up, but it felt great.” Having two experienced players back in the lineup allowed the Badgers to be more aggressive on defense. Wisconsin routinely blitzed safeties Michael Caputo and Peniel Jean to bring pressure and disrupt the timing of Maryland’s spread option offense. Caputo was particularly skilled at correctly timing the snap count to crash across the line as the ball was hiked. “That comes with preparation and that comes with the feel and the demeanor of the game,” Caputo said. “That’s a QB-center kind of deal. Just reading what he does and timing it up right.” Head coach Gary Andersen praised the defense’s preparation and applauded the scout team for helping the starters get the snap timing down. “That's film study, and it is young men caring when they leave the facility and spending time focusing on the little things that win you football games,” Andersen said. “It's very difficult. It's an art.” The starting linebacker corps of Trotter, Derek Landisch, Joe Schobert and Vince Biegel once again demonstrated its playmaking ability by combining for two sacks and 19 tackles, 6.5 of which were for a loss. The secondary also limited Maryland’s dynamic receiving duo of Deon Long and Stefon Diggs to a combined seven catches for 80 yards and a garbage time touchdown. On offense, Joel Stave and

claire larkins/the daily cardinal

Joel Stave asserted himself as Wisconsin’s top quarterback with 10.3 yards per pass attempt. Tanner McEvoy both showcased their strengths in the second week of the dual quarterback experiment. Stave looked comfortable in the pocket while McEvoy showed off his ability as a runner. For the first time all season, the Badgers successfully completed a downfield pass when Stave found redshirt sophomore Alex Erickson for a 43-yard play action pass on Wisconsin’s first drive. Gordon scored on the next play from six yards out to give the Badgers a lead they would not relinquish. Stave and Erickson hooked up three times on play action throughout the game. One of those was a 47-yard touchdown pass on a beautifully thrown ball in the third quarter to put Wisconsin

up 31-0. Stave finished 9-15 for 155 yards and two touchdowns. Meanwhile, McEvoy ran for a 60-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter on a quarterback keeper. He went 5-7 for 44 yards and ran for 84 yards on four carries. McEvoy led four drives and Wisconsin scored 21 points when he was at the helm. Stave led nine drives, scoring five times for a total of 31 points. After the game, Andersen was asked whether or not the dual quarterback system would continue to work. “They handle it well, the kids on the team handle it well,” Andersen said. “I have no reservations at all saying that we are going to move forward and have the ability to play both of those young men, and they've executed

at a high level.” Perhaps the most improved unit, however, was special teams, two weeks after a dismal outing against Illinois. Kickoff specialist Andrew Endicott had four touchbacks on his nine kickoffs while punter Drew Meyer landed three of his four punts inside the 20. Special teams also showed some flash in the first half, with Meyer completing a jump pass on a fake punt to pick up a first down and third string quarterback Bart Houston launching a 52-yard punt on a rugby-style kick. “Anything you can do to cause people to practice a little bit more, cause a little bit more issues for them as they prepare for you, then on game day it's a positive,” Andersen said.

Wisconsin returns to Kohl Center in Red/White Scrimmage

UW moves into first place with sweep of Nebraska By Colleen Degnan the daily cardinal

A strong group of seniors kicked off their final season for the Badgers with a thriller. By Jack Baer the daily cardinal

For the first time since March 5, basketball returned to the Kohl Center. The Badgers welcomed fans back home for their annual Red/White scrimmage to kick off a season with expectations higher than any in living memory. The White team, headlined by sophomore forward Nigel Hayes and redshirt senior guard Josh Gasser, pulled out a come-

back 57-56 win to take down Red, which was led by senior forward Frank Kaminsky and senior guard Traevon Jackson. Red held a six-point lead with five minutes remaining, but watched as sophomore guard Bronson Koenig drained three 3-pointers for White to erase the deficit and go up a point with approximately three seconds remaining. From there, it got a little confusing.

Jackson drove the ball down court, but appeared to step out of bounds for a game-icing turnover. Head coach Bo Ryan then gave Red the ball anyway to see how they looked in a game-ending situation. Senior forward Duje Dukan ran uncovered to deep behind the wing and nailed a supposed game-winner, but time was ruled to have been expired and White took home the win.

scrimmage page 7

The No. 5 Badgers’ (9-1 Big Ten, 18-2 overall) win streak continued after they defeated No. 14 Nebraska (6-4, 12-7) Sunday afternoon at the UW Field House. Wisconsin swept Nebraska in three sets 25-19, 25-21, 25-18. The sold-out crowd fueled the Badgers’ momentum and has been a great asset to their season, according to the top attacker of the match, senior outside hitter Courtney Thomas. “The energy and the atmosphere when we are down helps so much with motivation,” Thomas said. “They did a really good job today.” Thomas had 10 kills in Sunday’s match, followed closely by sophomore setter Lauren Carlini with nine. Carlini’s setting was consistent throughout the entire match, and enjoyed the chance to swing at a ball. “It’s always awesome to get overpasses,” Carlini said. “I get so jacked up and everyone else gets so excited for me.” Nebraska’s hitting was led by twin sophomore outside hitters Amber and Kadie Rolfzen. Amber Rolfzen totaled 10 kills while Kadie Rolfzen tailed closely behind

with nine. Although Nebraska showed a competitive offense, Wisconsin’s defense prevailed. Junior libero Taylor Morey played aggressive defense and tied her career record digs per match at 29. “I give a lot of credit to my blockers, defense is about mentality and taking pride in your side of the court,” Morey said. “It’s easy to dig behind a wellformed block.” Carlini and the rest of the Badgers played tougher because of Morey’s tight defense. “We get so much more momentum for our side when we see her get these crazy good ups,” Carlini said. “It makes us want to transition and kill immediately.” Head coach Kelly Sheffield also complemented Morey’s efforts on the court. “Some people shrink when the lights get a little brighter, but she is not one of those players,” Sheffield said. “You’re seeing a player getting better and better and more confident, and I thought she was great tonight.” The Badgers broke their multi-decade losing streak against Nebraska in the match. Wisconsin had not beat Nebraska since 1978, and Sheffield was
