Citations down again at tame Freakfest
By Taylor Harvey The Daily Cardinal
Although fewer officers patrolled State Street during Freakfest Saturday, police reported the lowest number of incidents they have seen in 15 years, with problems relatively miniscule compared to the problems of violence and rioting that marred earlier Halloweens. According to police, 30 citations were distributed for
offenses like underage drinking and having open intoxicants on the street and one person was arrested. Overall, police said there were no significant events reported from Freakfest and said it was the most well-behaved crowed they have seen since the 1990’s. “We’ve had highs and lows [since the 1970’s] in terms of attendants, arrests, injuries and vandalism,” Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said.
“We did absolutely fantastic this year in all aspects.” Verveer said his only disappointment is that the event had less attendance than in past years, which he said could have been for various reasons, including the Badger football loss, more expensive tickets or that Freakfest “just isn’t as attractive to [students] as house parties are.”

State allows concealed weapons in Capitol By Meghan Chua The Daily Cardinal
State officials decided Friday to allow concealed weapons in the state Capitol and other state buildings under Wisconsin’s new law that allows those with permits to carry weapons in public places. The law is set to go into effect Tuesday. “We must respect [a citizen’s] right to keep and bear arms under the U.S. and Wisconsin Constitutions,” Department of Administration Secretary Michael Huebsch said in a statement. Huebsch said weapons will be prohibited in buildings that provide services for mentally ill patients or criminals and buildings that store
combustible materials. In addition, concealed weapons will not be permitted in the Wisconsin Supreme Court chamber or the State Capitol Police station because of current state law. The state Senate drafted rules that would prohibit concealed weapons from being brought into the Senate Gallery but the state Assembly will likely allow weapons in the Assembly Gallery. Both houses would permit concealed carry on their respective floors if committees approve their rules. Huebsch said in a letter that state workers will be subject to the same criteria as the public with the exception of employees whose job

UW System president: cuts ‘disproportionate’
Letter to the system
In the wake of budget lapses that could cut millions more from the UW System, President Kevin P. Reilly wrote Friday: “Our colleges, universities, and extension networks have been asked to prepare for the loss of $65.6 million more over two years. This represents 38 percent of all new reductions to state spending, despite the fact that the UW System represents about 7 percent of the state’s expenditures. It comes on top of $250 million in cuts already imposed on the UW System in the biennial budget.”
UW System President Kevin Reilly said the additional $65.7 million cuts in funding to the university from the state is disproportionate to total statewide cuts Friday. Administration officials announced Oct. 14 that they plan to cut $174.3 more in statewide funding over the next biennium because of a budget lapse. Cuts to the UW System make up 38 percent of the lapse. “The use of a lapse is not a surprise,” Reilly wrote in an editorial in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “What is surprising, however, is the apparent reliance on the UW System to balance the state budget. Unfortunately, our students will suffer the unintended con-
sequences of this approach.” Reilly said the timing of the lapse makes it difficult for the system to determine where to make the cuts. He said the system had already made budget allocations by the time the cuts were made mid-semester. “Students paid their tuition bills, came to campus and began working hard toward their college dreams,” Reilly said. “It’s our obligation to deliver a high-quality educational experience, but oversized funding cuts make it difficult to fulfill those promises.” In a letter to state Budget Director Brian Hayes sent last Wednesday, UW System

his past Halloween weekend was the last of my college career, so I thought I better make it count. Truth be told, I stopped loving Halloween the moment it became socially unacceptable for me to go door-todoor asking for handfuls of candy, so I wasn’t as amped about All Hallow’s Eve as others may have been. Still, I’m nothing if not a nostalgic dork, so I figured I better do something worth remembering. My weekend started on Friday afternoon. I had a few last-minute costume essentials in need of purchasing, so I wandered over to State Street where, apparently, every child in the county had come to trick-or-treat. As I tried to navigate my way through the crowds of miniature Iron Mans, Disney princesses and one child just running around crazily with, I kid you not, a “bloody” knife, I scoffed and tried to avoid getting run over by
a stroller. Were these festive children making my commute more difficult? Absolutely. Was I actually annoyed by this? Not at all. I was just jealous of the youngsters. Those lucky sons of guns were given enough candy to put them in a diabetic coma. I, on the other hand, had to pay $5 for a can of Keystone Lite. I guess that’s life in the fast lane for you. Later that night, I prepared myself for the evening. I had decided this was the year I would finally wear a practical costume. Since the barely there Tin Man ensemble of my freshman year, my Halloween costumes have grown less and less revealing. I attribute this trend to two reasons: First, I’ve realized the prospect of a man in a banana suit finding me attractive and taking me home is not, in fact, that enticing. Secondly, it is darn cold this time of year, and no amount of orange-flavored Jell-O shots is going to make me forget that. As such, I spent the weekend parading around as April Ludgate from “Parks and Recreation.” The costume was simple enough: skinny jeans, flats, a zip-up hoodie
and a shirt that read “I met Li’l Sebastian at the Pawnee Harvest Festival.” (If you don’t get that joke, I apologize for your poor taste in television. Go watch “Parks and Recreation.”) The most important attribute of the costume was the scowl, and because of said fivedollar can of Keystone, this was an easy item to pull off at times. My boyfriend dressed as Andy Dwyer, April’s shoe-shining/FBI agent husband. He spent the last three weeks growing one of the more scraggily beards I’ve ever had the pleasure to come in con-

tact with. I, on the other hand, spent Friday shaving and/or ripping hairs out of the many orifices women are expected to, yet another reason to be jealous of those prepubescent brats.
From there, Halloween proceeded as it usually does: A mixture of oddities and pure awesomeness. My friend since middle school and, for the evening, French mime Nick told me he feels uncomfortable when I mention vibrators in this here column, so naturally you can expect three more pieces dedicated solely to the topic before the year is up. I saw a guy dressed as Don Draper. This naturally led me to shout “Don Draper!” upon which he came up to me, shook my hand and gave me a Sterling Cooper business card, which was likely to secondbest thing to actually meeting Jon Hamm. And my lovely but quite inebriated roommate came home to smudge the teal face paint she donned as Skeeter from “Doug” all over the walls. All in all, it was a good Halloween, better than I presumed it could be. I spent time with friends, wasn’t coerced into going to Freakfest and my roommate got to repainting our apartment before Steve Brown ever will. Success! Halloween is just too silly.

WSA Halloween Bash ’84
Fewer party problems foreseen By MARGO O’BRIEN of the Cardinal staff This year’s Wisconsin Student Association Halloween party, with the addition of several new attractions and a diminished focus on beer drinking, should not pose any major security or safety problems, according to University and city law enforcement authorities. According to WSA Entertainment Director Tim Bahr, the party is “a well rounded program with more emphasis on the event as a whole, with beer drinking in the background.” Additions to the party include a Haunted House with live actors, a fireworks display and several band performances including a nationally known rock band, the Blasters. Discussing safety and security concerns, Police and Security Captain Robert Hartwig said. “In the past there has been little in the way of disorderly conduct or property damage caused by the party.” P and S assigned 16 officers to patrol during the party. “Looking on the optimistic side we hope that little in the way of enforcement action will have to be necessary.” Hartwig said that the main security problems in the past have been attributed to individuals who become overly intoxicated and disorderly
Madison Police Patrol Captain George Silverwood, who is in charge of the city’s enforcement efforts, said that overall there have not been many incidents in the past, but officers will be looking for intoxicated individuals who become harmful to others or to themselves. “The basic function of the officers will be to monitor the crowd, and watch for individuals who become combative,” Silverwood said. Another safety concern Silverwood mentioned was the problem of glass bottles some people bring to the party area which are easily broken and could cause injuries. He said retailers in the State Street area have been told they should encourage the sale of cans to prevent such a problem. Open intoxicants will be permitted in the party area, according to Silverwood. Bahr estimates a crowd of 60,000 to 75,000 which he bases on last year’s attendance of approximately 40,000, plus those who will be attracted to attend due to the new features. WSA’s $37,000 bash budget includes expenditures for insurance, entertainment, personnel and beverage costs. Bahr emphasized that he hopes the general public and citizens of Madison and not just students will be attracted to the party. “In the past people were leery

of coming down with their kids, but there will be more incentive to come because of the new attractions and the good security we have,” Bahr said. Silverwood said WSA has done an excellent job in its coordination efforts with city authorities. “Often times the press or media paint controversy between WSA and the police
department, but we have a good working relationship with them.” He added that the department realizes the party will go on regardless of whether it is sanctioned by the city or not. “For this reason we have backed the idea of having a party organized and have backed WSA in their efforts in doing that,” Silverwood said.

New districts could apply in recalls By Rachel Hahn The Daily Cardinal
freakfest from page 1 Frank Productions, the concert promotion company that has run Freakfest for the past five years, reported they sold approximately 25,000-30,000 tickets both in advance and at the gate, which is less compared to last year’s 35,000 sold and 2009’s 44,000. Before Freakfest started five years ago, Halloween in Madison was a headache for city officials due to the escalating eruption of violence, arrests and vandalism that occurred each year. After Halloween on State Street ended with police in riot gear firing tear gas in 2005, former Mayor Dave Cieslewicz implemented Freakfest, a
gated event, in attempt to clean up Halloween in Madison. Verveer said he wants to enact a dialogue with students in the future to see what will make Freakfest more attractive to them, such as hiring higher caliber entertainment to cater more to what college students enjoy. “We should all be proud of the fact that, although [Freakfest] is not as edgy or cool, there’s no way we could go back to the problems of the old days,” Verveer said. The main stage shut down at exactly 1:30 a.m. as scheduled after the headliner performance by All Time Low, and police experienced little difficulty encouraging people to leave the streets.
Wisconsin state senators who could face recall elections next year might be campaigning to new constituents if the legislature passes an amendment pushing forward the date new district lines are applied to elections. State Sen. Mary Lazich, R-New Berlin, authored an amendment on Friday to Act 43, the new state law that changes legislative district lines. Senators of even-numbered senate districts and Assembly representatives have regular elections on Nov. 6, 2012, but senators from odd-numbered districts, to which the amendment would directly apply, do not have general elections until 2014. There could be special elections before the Nov. 6 date for senators from odd-numbered districts eligible for recall next year, in which, under the GAB’s interpretation, constituents from the old districts would vote. Lazich’s amendment would move the date the new districts will apply to elections up to November 9, 2011 for Senate districts so constituents of new

Lazich said in a statement if old districts were used for recall elections, voters would be recalling and electing a senator from another district. “With the new landscape of recalls, the legislature must take steps not to disenfranchise voters living in odd numbered districts,” Lazich said. But Sen. Chris Larson, D-Milwaukee, sees the amendment as an “unconstitutional” Republican effort to save their jobs and the GOP state majority. “[The legislation ensures] that Republicans facing recall can run in their new, gerrymandered districts rather than the districts that elected them to office,” Larson said in a statement. The amendment is in response to Government Accountability Board Director Kevin Kennedy’s opinion that any recall election occurring before Nov. 6, 2012 would be held in the district that legislator represented before Aug. 24, 2011, the day redistricting took effect. Kennedy said an election occurring on or after that date would use the new district lines. engaging in dialogues with state leaders and “reiterating the UW System’s role as an economic engine, and asking leaders to develop a fairer plan.” “There is still time to reconsider the methodology behind this midyear budget lapse and redress its inequities,” Reilly said. “By doing so, state leaders can send a message to all UW students and their families that higher education is a higher priority in Wisconsin.”
crime in brief Police use Taser after fight at Plan B Two men ended up in jail when a Madison Police officer used a Taser after being punched in the shoulder trying to break up a brawl at the Plan B parking lot early Saturday morning. Police said officers were called to Plan B on Williamson Street for a fight and when they got there saw a suspect punch another man several times. According to the report, a Taser was used on the primary suspect in order to gain his compliance. Police said a friend of the suspect tried to prevent an officer from making the arrest.
Man robbed, hit near State Street A Mount Horeb man was robbed near State Street Friday night by two men, who took the man’s cell phone and wallet in addition to punching him in the face. Police said the man, 24, was treated at a local hospital for a possible broken jaw. According to the report, one of the two suspects had black hair and wore a blue track jacket while the other wore a dark sweatshirt.

david cottrell co-ttrell it on the mountain
I
remember the old posters that used to hang in movie theater lobbies explaining the Motion Picture Association of America ratings system to patrons—a vertical ladder of movie ratings G through NC-17 accompanied by cartoon renditions of the appropriate audiences for each. As the ratings became more restrictive, the cheerful cartoon moviegoers slowly dropped out of frame until all that was left for NC-17 were the vaguely creepy bunny rabbit (who for some reason was wearing sunglasses to a movie) the adult couple beaming with excitement, and finally the loner male 20-something. An odd collective to say the least, but sadly not an accurate one. Virtually no one is seeing NC-17 movies today. While the NC-17 rating has been kept in use by the MPAA since it was introduced in 1990 as a replacement for the infamous X rating, in the last 10 years only about 20 movies have been awarded the NC-17 rating from the MPAA and kept it. The vast majority of movies that are branded with a NC-17 rating inevitably end up undergoing extensive cuts in order to finally fetch an ‘R’ rating. The reason these edits are so inesNumber of capable is the films absurd stigma currently rated NC-17. attached to any film brandishing an NC-17 rating.

potential. While NC-17 was created in an attempt to dodge some of the stigma ingrained in the iconic X rating, in practice little was achieved. Media outlets still refused to run ads for NC-17 content. Essentially every major theater chain refused to screen NC-17 films, leaving only small art house theaters as a distribution channel. Even bygone rental giants Blockbuster and Hollywood Video refused to stock NC-17 movies, severely limiting such films’ availability, even after their release. Last year “Blue Valentine” received the dreaded NC-17 because of a scene in which Ryan Gosling performs oral sex on Michelle Williams, but distributor The Weinstein Company fought tooth and nail in an appeal to receive an R rating instead without making any cuts. Thankfully, the Weinsteins won that round and audiences were free to experience the phenomenal piece of cinema that is “Blue Valentine” as its director intended it. But in reality, this appeal was only further delaying the desperately necessary public discourse about changing the MPAA ratings system. This year Fox Searchlight, the indie studio behind such low-budget breakout hits as “(500) Days of Summer,” “Slumdog Millionaire,” “Little Miss Sunshine,” and “Juno,” is finally aiming at causing some change in the American ratings landscape, even if it has to do it culturally rather than bureaucratically. One of Fox Searchlight’s most promising films on its winter lineup this year is the Steve McQueen flick “Shame” starring Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan. The film is about a 30-something yuppie sex addict (Fassbender) who can barely maintain control of his addiction as it is. When his younger sister (Mulligan) moves into his apartment, his life begins to spiral out of control. The reviews coming out of the film’s festival run have been overwhelmingly posi-

Naturally, the MPAA has branded “Shame” with those scarlet letters—NC-17.
I applaud Searchlight’s initiative to try and fix a broken, illogical system that is hampering artistic vision in this country.
But rather than follow in the steps of the Weinstein Company with “Blue Valentine,” Fox Searchlight has decided to take a stand. The studio announced recently that it would be keeping the NC-17 rating for “Shame” and not submit it for an appeal. Fox Searchlight wants to finally make NC-17 a usable rating and it just might have the pull to do so. Fox Searchlight has a repu-
tation for spinning gold, frequently turning out low-budget indie hits that cross over into mainstream success. While in the past theaters mostly refused to show NC-17 films, such a significant distributor has never propositioned them in recent years either. And with the vast expanses of the Internet at their disposal, its success is that much more likely. Even if traditional print media are still wary of carrying NC-17 advertisements, the Internet can provide alternative advertising opportunities. I have a feeling “Shame” will be setting records this December for number of screens reached by an NC-17 film. If Searchlight can get the ball rolling and build up enough buzz in limited release at smaller theaters, I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility that “Shame” could be playing at your local mainstream multiplex by Christmas—especially if there is strong awards buzz behind
the film as seems likely. I applaud Searchlight’s initiative to try and fix a broken, illogical system that is hampering artistic vision in this country. While many commentators love to throw out suggestions for new ratings systems, this does little in the face of the entrenched bureaucracy of the notoriously conservative MPAA. If you’d like a more in-depth explanation as to why it would be so difficult to change ratings on the MPAA side—such as instituting a double RR rating as director David Lynch has suggested, or a universal A for adult rating as critic Roger Ebert has advised—I recommend you check out the intriguing documentary “This Film Is Not Yet Rated,” available for streaming on Netflix. The documentary sheds some muchneeded light on the shadowy inner workings of the MPAA. Do you think that the MPAA rating system is usable, or even liberal?

Coldplay’s latest release nothing to write home about By Sean Reichard the daily cardinal
Once upon a time, there was a little band called Coldplay who took over the world. They were a band of sensitive youngins with stars in their eyes and their hearts all a-flutter. They sang songs about serious things like love and death. Their music was full of orchestral sweeps and brooding piano. They knew what the people wanted: the build-ups, familiar climaxes where all the music hummed and swooshed where it should. They made albums that followed this formula, and they sold more and more with each proceeding album. And on Mylo Xyloto , it’s the same old story. On the surface, however, Mylo Xyloto is an atypical Coldplay album. Gone is the piano-led atmosphere of albums like 2002’s A Rush of Blood to the Head, replaced by synthesizers and greater emphasis on
guitar. The lead single “Every Teardrop is a Waterfall,” for example, is an electro-hymn with an squiggly guitar lead and techno-lite drums. Part of this shift is due to producer/electronic music guru Brian Eno. Eno, who also produced Coldplay touchstones U2, was brought on for 2008’s Viva La Vida, where his influence is more pronounced. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin even went so far as to call this influence “Enoxification.” There is an immense bigness to the sound (arena-sized, arena-made) and sonically, it’s the biggest Coldplay album to date. And with this different sound is continued seriousness. Where Viva La Vida took vague cues from the French Revolution (incorporating Eugène Delacroix’s famous painting “Liberty Leading the People” as the cover) Mylo Xyloto is supposed to be a concept album, inspired by a diverse group of sources, includ-
ing New York graffiti art, the antiNazi White Rose movement and HBO’s “The Wire.” The story is rather simple: two teens, Mylo and Xyloto, live in a near-future urban dystopia and meet through a gang called The Lost Boys (referenced explicitly in the song “Charlie Brown”), fall in love and… it all kind of trails off after that.
CD REVIEW
Mylo Xyloto Coldplay B Because no matter how hard Coldplay may try, they can’t link any specific concentration to their sound. The Coldplay of
Parachutes and XY sang their vague songs of love and death, and everyone joined in because they were so pretty and easy to remember. They sounded serious but no one was paying particular attention to what they were serious about. On Mylo Xyloto Coldplay don’t get the benefit of the doubt. They are being serious with the concept album idea. For instance, “Major Minus” is a driving rock song featuring the repeated lines/variations of “They got one eye watching you / And one on what you do / So be careful who you’re talking to.” A fairly ominous warning, only to be undercut later with the line “Hear the crocodiles ticking around the world” (at best a bizarre Disney shoutout, at worst nonsense). But once you get past the electronics and the surface textures, the Coldplay formula is still there: the sweeps, the melodies, the choruses, the
arena build-up. Pop, essentially. Especially on the song “Princess in China,” featuring a duet with Rihanna designed to move product, not mind. There is a grand naïveté to the whole of Mylo Xyloto , which is inherent to Coldplay as a whole, a band that has always paid more attention to broad, sweeping feelings rather than particulars. There is little to no edge to Mylo Xyloto , its story or its songs. Anyone looking for a new Coldplay will not find it here. Yet it succeeds, on some level, due to its earnestness: Martin and company have always been, if not always serious, at least affable and approachable. Fans of Coldplay will rejoice and Mylo Xyloto will convert no one, but no one can deny that it’s pleasant-sounding music. It’s good everyday music, not profound, but how often do we really look to pop music for profundity?
opinion Oversight key to venture capital plans dailycardinal.com/opinion
matt beaty opinion columnist
V
ersions of bills focusing on increasing venture capital investment in Wisconsin are circulating in the state Legislature. Lawmakers are rationalizing support for versions of the bill by saying it will help create jobs in the state, especially those in hightech industries. Investing in these firms is risky, mainly because they are in their nature risky investors. If the legislators want to proceed with a bill they must do so with caution. Venture capital firms invest in “high-potential, high-risk” companies. Companies need to take chances to be successful, and they often need outside help. This is where outside investors can make a world of difference. The plan, championed by Gov. Scott Walker, aims at helping to bring more venture capital to the state. Capital helps companies grow, which can result in better paying jobs and more tax revenue. If this type of programs hadn’t been tried before, it would be easier to support. The state had a program in 1999 that doled out $50 million to certified capital companies (CAPCOs). The CAPCOs were not required to pay back the state, and some of the funded firms didn’t even use all of the money they were
Monday, October 31, 2011
given. According to Sen. Glenn Grothman, R-West Bend, “It was a horrible bill.” The new bill is still being worked on, and it must look at the past failures to protect tax-payer dollars from fraud and undue risk. Fortunately, legislators like Sen. Julie Lassa, D-Stevens Point, urges taking time to revise the bill to ensure that “oversight will be in place to provide openness and transparency,” according to her press release. The economy is still faltering, and if the government feels it is necessary to infuse public dollars to private firms, that is a choice it can make. But accountability must be a major concern in the bill. This includes making the venture capital firms and the government officials accountable throughout the process, something the 1999 bill lacked. One way that lawmakers are trying to do this is by having a better investment plan. Instead of investing in CAPCOs that were not required to pay back any principle on loans, lawmakers like Grothman and Sen. Alberta Darling, R-River Falls, are looking into a model where a manager would invest money gained from bonds in different venture capital funds, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Firms would have to “raise additional money from private investors.” However, not all state legislators are in agreement about this model; Rep. Jeff Fitzgerald, R-Horicon, and other assembly-
men have introduced a proposal that includes the controversial CAPCOs. That approach failed in the past and hopefully Fitzgerald will reconsider. Whatever model the Legislature decides upon, there will always be a high level of risk. Venture capital is risky by nature; it invests in fledgling companies that have no guarantee of succeeding, regardless of how much money they get. Even though the new bill will have better payment terms to the government, only time will tell if the risks the government takes will result in anything positive. People should begin asking the question whether government should be involved in this sector at all. A reason to be skeptical of government-funded venture capitalism
comes from the federal investment to Solyndra, a now-defunct solar company. Even after receiving half a billion dollars in government loans, the company still failed. By playing venture capitalist, the federal government lost half a billion tax-payer dollars and failed to create any of the promised permanent jobs. Though Wisconsin will not be making the loans directly to companies, it will be delegating that duty to private investment firms. This does nothing but promote private gains at the risk of socialized losses while making accountability more difficult. The added layer of the venture capital firms takes the already difficult task of tracking government spending to a whole new level. In general, the government
l

should be staying out of businesses affairs. When government starts doling out money to companies, it introduces bias and the possibility for cronyism while distorting the market in favor of companies the government deems to be worthy. Regardless, it looks like venture capital will now be part of the Wisconsin government’s job strategy. It introduces risks, and it will present some opportunities for the lucky few who get governmentfunded venture capital. At least legislators are looking at the mistakes of the past and taking a more serious focus on oversight. Matt Beaty is a junior majoring in math and computer science.

Letter from the editor: On Occupy Madison Kayla Johnson Editor in Chief An article last week titled “Occupy Madison loses permit” went viral this weekend, spreading through conservative and liberal blogs while its meaning was further misconstrued with every tweet. The article states the various reasons why Occupy Madison protesters were denied a new street permit. Some readers
misunderstood the article and inaccurately said the group lost its permit solely due to inappropriate behavior. This is not true. According to the article, health and safety concerns were only part of the reason the permit was not reissued. The Daily Cardinal takes partial responsibility for the confusion. The headline of the article could be misleading. The protesters’ permit was not revoked or lost.—the group’s permit expired, and it was temporarily denied a new one by city officials. We apologize for any misunderstanding
the mistake caused. Although we regret that the article was used to misrepresent Occupy Madison protesters, The Daily Cardinal stands by the content of the article. It accurately represents the discussions surrounding the street-use permit at the Oct. 26 Street Use Staff Commission. The article was not written with any political agenda and was by no means an attempt by The Daily Cardinal to defame Occupy Madison protesters. Please send all feedback to opinion@dailycardinal.com.

Women’s Hockey
Badgers continue to roll, sweep Boston University By Vince Huth the daily cardinal
The No. 1 Wisconsin women’s hockey team (5-1-0 WCHA, 9-1-0 overall) swept No. 4 Boston University (0-0-0 Hockey East, 5-3-1 overall) this weekend at the Kohl Center in Madison. The series concluded a four-series stretch against top-10 teams for the Badgers. It was the first time the teams met since last season’s national championship game when Wisconsin topped BU 4-1. It is safe to say the Terriers were looking for some payback. “We knew they were going to come out and try and get back at us because [that game] is in their memory forever,” sophomore forward Brittany Ammerman said. “We definitely wanted to show them we’re as good or better than the team we were last year.” Ammerman got things going for the Badgers during a 3-0 victory Friday afternoon. She took a pass from sophomore forward Madison Packer and zipped the puck past BU sophomore goaltender Kerrin Sperry to give Wisconsin the lead midway through the first period. Ammerman added another score in the second period, and the Badgers held that 2-0 lead until deep in the third. BU went on the power play after freshman forward Blayre Turnbull was called for tripping, but sophomore defenseman Kelly
heartbreak from page 8 led directly to a touchdown. “There were enough key plays over the course of the game that we just never could get on top,” Bielema said. For a few moments late in the fourth quarter, though, it looked as if Wisconsin had found a way to get out of Columbus with a win. After Miller took an option keeper 44 yards for a score and put Ohio State up 26-14 with 4:39 remaining, senior UW quarterback Russell Wilson led a furious comeback. Two completions and a 40-yard rush from junior running back Montee Ball (17 carries, 85 yards, TD) set up a 17-yard touchdown pass over the middle to sophomore wide receiver Jared Abbrederis. In all, the drive took just 44 seconds off the clock. The Wisconsin defense then turned in a three-and-out to get the ball back to the offense, and Wilson (20-32, 253, three TDs) completed all three of his passes, the last of which was a 49-yard touchdown to Abbrederis with 1:18 remaining. The Wautoma native finished the game with six catches for 113 yards and two scores, and was wide open down the sideline on the late score. “I was playing a game with the safety, basically, and [Abbrederis] got open,” Wilson, who used an effective pump fake to set the throw up said. “He was just cruising down the sideline.” Once again, though, Wisconsin left too much time on the clock. Set up by a 42-yard kick return from junior running back Jordan Hall, senior running back Daniel “Boom” Herron converted a key third-and-one to set
Jaminski scored a short-handed goal to shut the door on BU’s rally attempt. “You don’t want to give [BU] any energy,” head coach Mark Johnson said. “Coming out of there with Kelly’s goal makes it a lot easier to play that last four or five minutes.”
“The formula to be successful isn’t really difficult, but you have to be willing to do it on a daily basis.”
indicate a blowout, it was a onegoal game until Decker’s score early in the third period. Senior forward Carolyne Prevost intercepted a BU pass and found a streaking Decker, who backhanded the puck past Sperry. The Badgers tallied three more goals in the next eight minutes to put the game well out of reach. “I think it showed that we’re well conditioned and we have a lot of depth,” Decker said. “I
think we used that especially in that third [period].” Wisconsin finished its tough October schedule with a 7-1 record. Although the Badgers are playing at a high level, Johnson would like to see them playing at an even higher level in January. “The formula to be successful isn’t really difficult, but you have to be willing to do it on a daily basis,” Johnson said. “You just
can’t relax or you can’t take a step back. It doesn’t work that way.” Wisconsin will travel to Columbus next weekend for a series against Ohio State (5-2-1 WCHA, 5-2-1 overall).

Sophomore goaltender Alex Rigsby had 20 saves Friday afternoon. While Wisconsin held Lindenwood scoreless in two games earlier this season, Friday’s shutout victory likely meant more because of the higher level of competition. “We’ve been playing some pretty tough opponents,” Johnson said. “When you’re playing BU, you’re not going to get six, seven, eight goals in those games.” The Badgers did exactly that Saturday afternoon. Junior forward Brianna Decker recorded her second hat trick of the season and Rigsby made 22 saves as Wisconsin closed the series with a 6-1 win Saturday. While the final score would up the game-winning score. “After last week, you think you’ve seen it all and it can never happen again,” junior linebacker Mike Taylor, who finished the game with an astonishing 22 tackles (10 unassisted, 2.5 for loss) said. “To lose on a play like that again is just sort of unbelievable.” Though the two teams combined to put up 62 points by the end, Wisconsin led 7-3 at half time and held the Buckeyes to 104 total yards. That changed in the second half, as Herron ripped off a 57-yard run on the first OSU play of the third quarter. “The big plays they did have came down to tackling,” Taylor said. “It’s the most fundamental thing about football.” Ohio State tackled exceptionally well all night, limiting the Badgers to a paltry 89 yards rushing. It was the first time since Nov. 21, 2009, UW was held under 100 rushing yards for a game.
Going down
The Badgers suffered another drop in the rankings this week. Wisconsin sits at No. 20 in the BCS rankings, behind Nebraska, Michigan, Penn State & Michigan State in that order.
Wisconsin returns home to play Purdue next week. While the confines will be friendly, the demons facing the UW players this week pose a psychological battle that will be difficult to overcome. “They’re going to be tested in the most unbelievable fashion after these last two weeks,” Bielema said.

split from page 8 tallies, to tie the game at 3-3. Wisconsin appeared to take back control in the third period when Barnes gave the Badgers the lead again with his second goal of the night, but it would not be enough. UNO’s captain Terry Broadhurst would knot the game at four, and with just 21 seconds remaining, senior Alex Hudson would score the decisive goal to seal the 5-4 win for the Mavericks. The Badgers’ lack of attention to detail ultimately cost them on Friday as they committed multiple mental errors— including two too many men on the ice penalties—and allowed four UNO power-play goals on six attempts. “I think it was just a few details here and there,” junior defense-
deja vu from page 8 yard-line and extended the lead to 17-7 on a touchdown run from junior running back Jordan Hall three plays later. The block was nearly identical to the Spartans’ from a week ago, and Bielema said there was a mix-up in communication or play recognition on the right side, where freshman offensive lineman Robert Burge serves as the shield. “They sent three guys up the middle, and obviously we had a breakdown fundamentally there on the right shield,” Bielema said. With the Badgers struggling to stem the tide, it looked as if the offense had some semblance of rhythm as the fourth quarter started, but senior quarterback Russell Wilson was called for
man Justin Schultz said after the game. “A few too many men penalties and a few breakdowns that really cost us.” Saturday night began the same way for the Badgers, once again jumping out to a 3-0 first period lead thanks to two goals from Mark Zengerle, including a short-handed score, but this time Wisconsin would not take its foot off of the gas. After Terry Broadhurst’s seventh goal of the season cut the lead to 3-1, UW answered back with two more scores from sophomore defender Frankie Simonelli and junior forward Ryan Little pushing the lead to 5-1. UNO began to show life towards the end of the third period, cutting the lead down to 5-3, but sophomore forward Jefferson Dahl’s empty net tally put the final nail in the
Maverick’s coffin. Wisconsin closes out the first month of the season at 4-4-0, a record that Eaves feels is perfectly acceptable for his young team. One of the main reasons that Wisconsin has a .500 record to this point is Zengerle’s play. He finished the weekend with six points (two goals, four assists) and has been the Badgers’ most consistent forward this season. His two goals this weekend give him four on the season, just one shy of his season total from a year ago, good for second on the team. Wisconsin will take to the road next week, heading to St. Cloud, Minn. to take on St. Cloud State: Wisconsin will return to the Kohl Center Nov. 11 for a weekend series with archrival Minnesota.
intentional grounding—he was flagged for the same thing on a very similar play last week—that killed the drive deep in UW territory and set up excellent field position for the Buckeyes. Wilson said he thought he was outside the pocket, and that appeared to be the case at least for at least part of his scramble. “Plus, we had Toon coming across the field,” Wilson said. “He was on the hash if not past the hash. I thought it was not intentionally grounding, but they called it, and you can’t do anything about it.” The final blow, of course, came after Wilson had led two touchdown drives in three and a half minutes and put Wisconsin up 29-26. With the clock running and necessary yardage still needed to realistically attempt a
field goal, freshman OSU quarterback Braxton Miller scrambled right, came very close to the line of scrimmage, and somehow uncorked a touchdown to freshman wide receiver Devin Smith. “All the sudden he just loaded up and threw against his body, and I turned to look and there was another guy wide open,” Henry, who said his responsibility was to the field side or the direction Miller was rolling, said. Officials reviewed the play to look into whether or not Miller crossed the line of scrimmage before throwing. It was eerily similar to the situation a week ago and it appeared that at least some of Miller’s body was behind the line when he let the ball go. “The replay booth has definitely not been our friend,” Bielema said.

Late score dooms Badgers once more RECAP By Parker Gabriel the daily cardinal

Lucky number 13: men’s cross country champions again The Wisconsin men’s cross country team continued to dominate the Big Ten as it has done for over a decade now. Claiming their 13th consecutive Big Ten Championship Sunday in Champaign, the Badgers extended their record setting streak, which started back in 1999. The 2011 championship is the 45th in the program’s history. Wisconsin took the title by finishing first, second, third, fifth and sixth in the 8-kilometer race. The top three finishers, in order, junior Mohammed Ahmed, junior Maverick Darling and senior Elliot Krause earned All-Big Ten honors for their third straight season as well. “When you have a streak as long as we do, there is pressure coming into a meet like the Big Ten meet,” Darling said. “You want to win, and you have to win, because you’re a Badger.” The Badgers have also claimed

Wisconsin’s failure to execute in key moments leads to another loss ANALYSIS
rebecca li/the daily cardinal
COLUMBUS, Ohio—Before taking his team on the road to East Lansing, Mich., last week, Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema said the key to winning championships is the ability to notch conference victories on the road. The No. 12 Badgers (2-2 Big Ten, 6-2 overall) have not shown that ability yet, and the prospects of playing in the first Big Ten title game Dec. 3 grew significantly dimmer thanks to another devastating, last-possession loss. This time, OSU true freshman quarterback Braxton Miller heaved a 40-yard touchdown pass to freshman receiver Devin Smith with 20 seconds left, trumping Wisconsin’s own go-ahead score and lifting the Buckeyes to a 33-29 victory. “I can’t describe the feeling for me as a head coach to have
to face those guys and realize how much they’ve put in and invested to get to where they are,” Badgers head coach Bret Bielema said. “To come up short two weeks in a row is really, really tough.”
COLUMBUS, Ohio—It is easy to understand why the players in the Badgers’ locker room didn’t think it could get worse than the hail Mary against Michigan State a week ago. After all, things like that don’t happen more than once in a blue moon; the focus and preparation was, by all accounts, sharp through the week and the veteran Wisconsin offense found the gas pedal with striking force in the fourth quarter Saturday in Ohio Stadium. And still, there is no happy ending. Even when offensive execution finally put the Badgers on top with 78 seconds to play. Even though the Buckeyes did not pass the ball consistently the entire night. Even despite the fact that UW looked calm in
the face of a live-wire crowd of 105,551—the seventh largest in the history of Ohio Stadium— and two weeks of nerve-wracking, season-defining play. “These things are just so overwhelmingly negative,” Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema said. “We have great kids, and unfortunately this is a learning experience that the only way you learn it is to go through it.” Bielema readily admitted after the game that, as a head coach, he has never been through two losses like this. In both, the Badgers appeared to be in control at times, only to succumb to big plays in big moments. “The thing about defense is you can have 70 great plays, and if there are 75 total plays and you let five get away from you, that can definitely cost your team the game,” senior free safety and team captain Aaron Henry said.
The defense is not solely to blame for those momentum-changers. In fact, all three phases suffered key lapses that factored heavily in the end result. After both teams played relatively clean, physical football in the first half, Ohio State scored to take a 10-7 lead and forced the Badgers to punt Punts on their first blocked on the road possession of the third quarter. For the second week in a Points scored after row, though, special a rusher came teams free and easturnovers ily reached senior punter Brad Nortman in time to block the attempt.

Men’s Hockey
High-scoring affair against Nebraska-Omaha ends with series split By Matt Masterson the daily cardinal
The Badgers’ men’s hockey (3-3-0 WCHA, 4-4-0 overall) team was flying high after an impressive sweep on then-No.5 ranked North Dakota last weekend, but the team couldn’t capitalize on its momentum, splitting this weekend’s series with NebraskaOmaha (3-1-0, 4-4-0). Both games, a 5-4 loss on Friday and a 6-3 win on Saturday, shared some noticeable similarities, and in the end both games were decided by the execution (or lack thereof) from the Badgers in key situations. “The game was eerily similar [to Friday night] in many fashions, but we were more detailed,” head coach Mike Eaves noted after his team’s victory Saturday night.
Eaves repeatedly mentioned his team’s attention to detail as the main factor for both its win and its loss. Wisconsin opened Friday night’s game with a bang, scoring three goals in the first 5:45 of the first period, including a highlight reel spin-o-rama assist by sophomore forward Mark Zengerle to sophomore forward Tyler Barnes. The Badgers could not have asked for a better start to the game, but the momentum quickly shifted after junior forward Derek Lee suffered an upper-body injury, which caused him to miss the rest of the game. “I think the turning point was when we lost Derek Lee,” Eaves said after the game. “In the second period we are trying to find
the right mix and who can play with who, and it took us out of our rhythm a little bit.”
Turning point
Derek Lee missed the remainder of Friday’s game after suffering a blind-side hit. Lee entered the game with three goals and 2 assists. His departure turned the tables in UNO’s favor.
Lee was a key piece on Wisconsin’s penalty kill, and his loss set the tone for the rest of the night. Nebraska-Omaha stormed back, scoring three consecutive goals, including two power-play
