Student union group’s 2014-’15 budget passes By Alex Bernell the daily cardinal

Future co-owners of the Orpheum, Gus Paras and Henry Doane, aim to return the historic theater to its roots by re-introducing movie screenings, comedy shows and weddings.

Future of Orpheum to invoke historic past By Melissa Howison the daily cardinal

The beacon that once shone over Madison’s bourgeoning entertainment district may once again illuminate the future of State Street in all its iconic glory. Veteran State Street business owner Gus Paras is now the proud owner of Madison’s most historic theater, the prestigious Orpheum and said he is excited to revive the once dazzling downtown entertainment hub and its towering marquee. Paras’ acquisition of the property resulted from a complicated, decade-long legal battle for ownership of the auditorium marred by foreclosure, drama and several allegations of arson. However, Paras said he is focused on the future and hopes to begin the necessary renovations on the theater “very soon,” although he hesitated to supply a timeline.

“The Orpheum was a very important place in the downtown area, and I was lucky enough to have a couple of good businesses and do good and be able to afford to put some money in the Orpheum, which it needs,” Paras said. He intends to repair building hazards first by replacing the failing ceiling, plumbing and air conditioning before restoring the marquee. Paras also said he is committed to maintaining the Orpheum’s interior character and has no plans to redesign the theater. The Orpheum Theatre originally opened March 31, 1927 and became a city landmark in 1998. Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said Henry Doane played an invaluable role in the preservation of the theater. “If it wasn’t for Henry Doane saving the Orpheum Theatre years ago, there would be no

Orpheum Theatre today to speak of,” Verveer said. Paras, who also owns Comedy Club on State, said he is partnering with Doane to reopen the restaurant and bar Doane previously operated in the Orpheum. In addition, Paras and Doane plan to diversify the theater’s functions to include comedy shows, wedding receptions, banquets and movie screenings as well as continue to offer live music. The pair also look forward to bringing the Wisconsin Film Festival back to the Orpheum. Paras said he wants the theater’s door to be “open all the time for everybody to walk in and out.” He added “the Orpheum is not, I never look at the Orpheum as a moneymaker, I look at the Orpheum as a place for the city and I want to be proud about.”

ASM to host second annual Diversity Week By Paige Villiard the daily cardinal

The Associated Students of Madison Diversity Committee decided Thursday it will implement another Diversity Week in Spring 2014. The inaugural Diversity Week held during Spring 2013 was the first ever, and many diversity committee members said they want to continue having a diver-

sity week because it is needed on campus and also provides a great opportunity to work with other student organizations. Diversity Committee member Tori Atkinson said she took on the project of organizing and implementing Diversity Week as an ASM intern last year. “The main goal, I think, of Diversity Week is kind of to raise campus diversity awareness and

to show people that there are a lot of diversity resources on campus, especially just through all these groups on campus,” Atkinson said. She said Diversity Week “went fine” considering it was the first time ever happening, but she said there are “definitely ways to improve on it.”

The Associated Students of Madison Student Services Finance Committee passed an operating budget for the Working Class Student Union and listened to a 2014- ’15 fiscal year Sex Out Loud budget proposal at a meeting Thursday. WCSU is an organization that focuses on supporting and advocating for first-generation, non-traditional, transfer and working-class students, according to its website. SSFC members’ discussion focused on funding for a visiting speaker in the WCSU. SSFC agreed to allow $5,000 to fund a speaker. WC SU r e p r e s e nt atives Derek Field and Dena Ohlinger said they were happy SSFC passed a $5,000 budget for the WCSU speaker because last year the organization tried to book a speaker that would not agree to speak for the organization for any

value less than $5,000. Ohlinger also noted that the amount allotted is a base value and the organization could need more. Representative Brett Ducharme proposed an alternative method to reduce WCSU spending. Ducharme said in previous years the funding for the communication director positions for the school year and summer has been considerably less than it is currently. He argued in favor of reducing the number of hours these individuals work by two hours a week, which SSFC approved. SSFC also listened to a presentation made by Sex Out Loud Representative Nick Fetzner. Sex Out Loud promotes healthy sexuality through sex-positive education and activism, according to its website. Fetzner proposed an operating budget of $98,432, which

Babcock debuts dairy-free ice cream Babcock Hall Dairy Plant at the University of WisconsinMadison started producing two lactose-free ice cream options this fall, vanilla and hazelnut cafe, according to a news release. The ice cream is created similarly to Babcock Hall’s other flavors, but the enzyme lactase is added, which makes the molecules easier to digest. The store certified the flavors were tested and officially determined lactose-free. “They’re delicious and taste very, very similar to regular ice cream,” UW-Madison senior

Sandy Hughes said, a food science major who helped develop the new ice cream formula under the guidance of the Babcock Hall Dairy Plant manager. Dean of UW-Madison College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Kate VandenBosch’s arrival on campus in 2012 inspired the idea. VandenBosch, like 10 percent of the U.S. population, is lactose intolerant. The flavors can be sampled for free Nov. 1 from 8 to 11 a.m. at the Babcock Hall Dairy Store and are available for purchase at the Babcock Hall Dairy Store.

“…the great state University of Wisconsin should ever encourage that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found.”

‘Hipster’ notebooks go unused By Andy Holsteen Fake News Friday

Upon observing the uber-rad tendencies of their remarkably in-vogue (let’s be honest, hipper) classmates, literal hordes of University of Wisconsin-Madison students frantically purchased pocket-sized Moleskine journals Wednesday evening. The tiny, most commonly black, notebooks can be identified by their ironically unassuming, semi-glossy exterior, which is often accentuated by a built-in piece of fabric that’s supposed to serve as a place marker but usually ends up flailing around until it’s ripped from its seams. Another marker includes an obnoxious-looking elastic band afforded to keep the thing shut, according to the National Textile Association’s interim webpage. “People don’t actually write anything in them,” NTA executive Jane Thompson/the daily cardinal David Rungwald said. “The only Senior Andrea Saltzman struggles to use her Moleskine notebook. reason anyone buys those things is to look like an intellectual.” Bookstore have nearly quadru- these Molskine things, which Due to the bizarre influx of pled their normal sales of the had never really been popular undergrads flocking to campus- pomp pocketbooks. when I started working here,” area Moleskine distributors, “I started noticing more and Grady Bonderud, University vendors such as The University more people suddenly buying Bookstore cashier of six months,

said. “So I randomly asked a girl buying one what she planned on doing with it. She gave me this condescending look and then said, ‘I need an accessory that won’t clash with my autumn flannel collection.’ After that, I’ve sort of just assumed anyone buying one is a moron.” Those who identify with the ever-growing portion of the student body infatuated by these little black books, themselves, aren’t entirely sure why they have lately been flying off the shelves. “Well, uh, see, if you would just look at this through the categorical imperative, it makes, like, um, lots of sense,” UW-Madison sophomore and Molskine displayer Joshua Wertz said. “I paid, like, 13 bucks for this thing, so, like, I don’t exactly want to write anything in it. But I also super want to become the next Hemmingway.” Post-interview, Wertz was seen perched on a State Street bench, chain-smoking handrolled Buglar cigarettes, periodically glancing up from “The Myth of Sisyphus” to see if any passing girls were trying to make eye contact with him.

Chipotle napkins only source of toilet paper left By Kane Kaiman Fake News Friday

Stolen Chipotle napkins are the only remaining source of toilet paper at 222 N. Carter, house sources confirmed Wednesday. When the very last sheets of toilet paper were used on Monday evening, including secret reserves hidden in drawers and under beds throughout the house, the residents turned to paper towels and other soft materials scattered on the kitchen and living room floor. These resources were exhausted within hours. The situation was dire, prompting housemate Jared Lang to take advantage of alternative options. “Going about my daily routine, the shortage is never far from my mind. On my way out of Chipotle the other day, I saw the giant stacks of napkins, and I knew I had to act right away. It was pure desperation,” Lang said. “I stuffed as much as I could into my backpack.”

Lang said he knew there would be high demand for fresh resources, so he stashed the napkins in the broken microwave in the kitchen. “It’s an ingenious hiding place, and it’s convenient,” Lang said. “I just pop it open, grab some ‘kins and make my way to the bathroom.” Experts have attributed the shortage to sheer laziness. House residents simply refuse to make the four block trip to buy toilet paper. “You think I’m going to bike all the way to Walgreens? And why me? Someone else should do it,” Lang’s roommate Aaron Cribbs said. The toilet paper drought has had dramatic effects on the 222 N. Carter microeconomy. Within the house, Chipotle napkins are now three times stronger than the U.S. dollar, and are the number two most valuable import, second only to alcohol.

This week, the Badger football team took their bye week a little too seriously. They have been seen throughout Madison truly “taking it easy,” sources say. “I heard yoga would be good for the players to stretch out and stay loose, so I suggested they try it out,” head coach Gary Andersen said. “I never knew they would get so into it.” After trying out the practice earlier this week, many players have become hooked enough to give up football, even if that means forgoing millions of dollars in the NFL in addition to their scholarships to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “Man, why would I want to go get hit and run around when I can find the center of my spirit in here?” redshirt sophomore running back Melvin Gordon said. Gordon refused to be interviewed anywhere except Madtown Yoga, where he now spends 12-16 hours of his day. He says he wants to be a professional yogi now instead of becoming a professional football player. Throughout the duration of the interview, he stayed

in the upward tree pose. Gordon is not the only star player who does not want to take the field after a relaxing bye week. Redshirt senior linebacker Chris Borland also found he prefers to stay off the field. “I got a manicure on Sunday, and let me tell you, it was great,” Borland said. “Football tears your hands up. Just because I can bench press a small car doesn’t mean my cuticles don’t need to be pampered.” Andersen is worried by this trend, but he admits he hasn’t given it a chance. “I thought these guys were tough, the kind who love the grind of hard work. Apparently, they’re not,” Andersen said. “Maybe I’m missing out. Maybe I should try one of these pumpkin spice lattes they’re talking about.” The Badger team has generally been thought of as a hard-nosed, blue collar football team, but this newfound softness might put in on par with fashion-obsessed Oregon. When asked for comment about the issue, Athletic Director and former coach Barry Alvarez grunted, shook his head and walked away, disappointed.

State legislators propose new voter ID bill As a 2011 state legislative effort to impose voter identification requirements remains tied up in court, state legislators have begun circulating a new bill that tweaks the 2011 law and offers specific exemptions for previously problematic population groups. The new bill, proposed by state Reps. Mark Born, R-Beaver Dam, and Michael Schraa, R-Oshkosh, would impose voter ID requirements on all Wisconsin voters, but would exempt people who could not obtain an ID for a valid reason, such as not having enough income or not having the

necessary documents to obtain one. It would also exempt people who do not have an ID for religious reasons, including those people whose religion keeps them from being photographed. If a voter elects to use the exemption, their ballot will be treated as challenged, meaning it will receive extra scrutiny as to whether it is legal during the voting review process. John Cronin, a spokesperson for Born, said the bill is “carrying the torch” of past voter ID bills that seek to establish a rule that can be put in place statewide. “Everybody certainly wants

legitimacy in elections and if there is any way an election can be undermined, that is in theory, undermining the whole principle of democracy,” Cronin said. “One vote or a few votes can really change what can happen in an election so you want it to be as legitimate as possible.” The bill is set to be fast tracked through the legislative process with an introduction and committee hearing planned for next week. Cronin said the bill is scheduled to get to the full Assembly floor Nov. 12 or 14. —Jack Casey

Rec Sports to host Paralympic athletic events Saturday University of WisconsinMadison’s division of Recreational Sports will hold a Paralympic athletic event in the Southeast Recreational Facility from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. The event, which is called Badgers ADAPT, will include various Paralympic events including an adapted biathlon, sitting vol-

leyball and goalball. ADAPT will also feature speakers including a Paralympic swimmer and an Olympic trainer. By participating in the various activities, students can earn stamps redeemable for raffle tickets. Potential grand prizes will include a Kindle Fire HD and Solo Beats by Dre.

No prior registration is required, and the event will be free for UW-Madison students of all abilities. Rec Sports will work alongside the Adapted Fitness Program of the Department of Kinesiology, the Division of University Housing, the McBurney Disability Resource Center and other community organizations.

UW students create films for festival

ssfc from page 1

A class on environmental filmmaking is helping University of WisconsinMadison students produce stories for this year’s “Tales from Planet Earth” film festival, which will take place over the weekend. The class, called Ecotopia to Ecopocalypse, is being taught by New York-based filmmaker Alex Rivera, who came to Madison through the Arts Institute Interdisciplinary Artist in Residence Program. History of science professor Gregg Mitman founded the festival in 2007 as a way to use film for community engagement and encourage

is less than the approximately $100,000 it received last year. According to Fetzner, the big reason Sex Out Loud asked SSFC for less money this year is because the organization has excess reserves for various things they spent money on last year. In particular, Fetzner said Sex Out Loud would require less money for computer software and hardware as well as equipment. SSFC Chair David Vines said Sex Out Loud is an “important” organization. Vines also said he is happy his committee is “getting stuff done.” SSFC will vote on the operating budget for Sex Out Loud at a meeting Nov. 4.

critical thinking about environmental issues. By combining class discussion with hands-on production, Rivera said he teaches students that understanding to communicate through film can be valuable to any major. “It’s important that everybody have experience … not just taking photos of a wedding or videos of a friend, but really working through what it means to tell a story through pictures and sound,” Rivera said in the release. The festival will be held Friday, Nov. 1 through to Sunday, Nov. 3 at the Marquee Theater in Union South.

State Rep. Chris Taylor, D-Madison, announced Thursday she will not run for Wisconsin Attorney General. After much deliberation, Taylor said she decided not to enter the race because of unfinished business in the state Assembly and family timing. Taylor said she represents a lot of university students in the district she serves and that she loves her job. Taylor specifically mentioned pushing a bipartisan renewable energy bill and increasing children’s rights. The renewable energy bill involves energy companies working with private property owners to build solar panels and wind turbines on their properties. Taylor is also working to extend smoking bans for in-home daycares where smoking is currently legal. Taylor pointed out the necessity for bipartisan creation and passing of bills, saying the state Legislature has become less divisive recently but still

needs to focus on negotiating across the aisles. “It’s okay to disagree, but it doesn’t have to be a personal thing,” Taylor said. Taylor criticized state Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen for politicizing the position of attorney general by making decisions along party lines. The attorney general has many responsibilities and acting as a top law enforcement official is only a small part of the job, Taylor said. She added she would like to see an attorney general who “stands up for the constitutional rights of the people of this state.” Republican Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel and state Rep. Jon Richards, D-Milwaukee, have formally announced their candidacy for the position. Taylor declined to endorse a declared candidate in the race. The Wisconsin attorney general election is scheduled for November 2014. —Eoin Cottrell

“hard to market to both of those things.” Akers also suggested the committee change the structure of the days and said she knows of organizations that hold just one specifically targeted event at night, which she said could work better. Committee members decided they would like to focus on events for two or three days, rather than have several events each day as they did for the past Diversity Week. They said fewer events would allow for a more flexible schedule, and they could collaborate on themes in events. The committee plans to hold Diversity Week for the week of February 3-7 and would like to hold an event the same night ASM holds its spring kick-off.

Atkinson said planning for Diversity Week must begin sooner, and the committee needs to market the events better. She also said the last Diversity Week was not scheduled at the most ideal time for attendance because it was cold and right around exam time for most students. According to Mia Akers, former Diversity Committee Chair, the structure of the days was also difficult because she said each day was a different theme and consisted of a workshop and a big event at night. Akers said the concept was “really cool” because there were both educational opportunities and performances but said it was

FIDLAR is currently on tour with The Orwells and have a show coming up in Madison at the High Noon Saloon next Friday, Nov. 1. The Daily Cardinal got the chance to catch up with the drummer, Max Kuehn while they were on the road “drivin’ around in Salem, Massachusetts.” Can you give me a little background on the history of FIDLAR? Kuehn: We’ve been a band since like 2009. My brother, Elvis [Kuehn], plays guitar and then Elvis and Zac [Carper], the singer, were working at a studio together and started jamming together. Then Brandon [Schwartzel] was buddies with Zac and started joining us. It wasn’t really a planned thing we all just started jamming together and made a few songs and were like, “OK we have a couple songs, let’s do a show.” And it just turned into a real band. There wasn’t anything planned about it. We basically all just liked hanging out with each other and started playing music. So the name FIDLAR is an acronym for “Fuck it dog, life’s a risk”—where did this come from? Zac was living with some skater kids in L.A. and it was kind of an L.A. skate motto and we needed a name to play shows, so we all agreed on FIDLAR and just went with it. Are you all from L.A.? We all currently live in L.A. Me and Elvis grew up there, but Zac is from Hawaii and Brandon is from San Diego. How has it been touring with The Orwells? It’s been good! It’s kinda crazy because they’re so young they can’t go to bars and drink, so we try to sneak them drinks and get them fucked up and just hang out. They’re super nice kids—they haven’t gotten to that point where it’s like, you’ve toured a lot so you turn into an asshole about it. They just really want to learn and we like showing them the ropes because they’re really good kids. It’s fun to kind of be the

older brother to them and show them around. You’re touring with The Pixies in 2014, that’s pretty huge. Yeah, that was insane. They were one of the bands that when we started out we talked about how crazy it would be to play with them, so when we found out we were touring with them it was a huge mind fuck. We’re all really excited. We all grew up listening to The Pixies and they’re definitely one of our influences as a band, so that’s really cool. I saw you at Lollapalooza in 2012, it was great. How does the festival scene differ from private shows? Do you prefer one over the other? There’s definitely a benefit to both, but I think we all prefer smaller club shows just because they’re a little more fun. The festival scene is super rad too because there’s so many people and the sound is great and stuff, but we all really like the intimacy of smaller shows. I think especially with our band, since we’re so energetic, that the type of music we play translates a little better in a setting where everyone is there to dance and have fun and it’s sort of harder to do that at like noon on a Saturday. Where has your favorite city to play in been so far? On this tour we’ve actually had a couple surprises. We played in Fort Worth, Texas, and it was super unexpected because we played a show the night before, and not many people showed up so we kinda expected it to go like that—but then this huge crowd came and they were absolutely nuts and went crazy and people got naked, so that was insane. So yeah, I would say that’s been the coolest place we’ve played so far on this tour. Have you ever been to Madison before? I feel like I have been before at some point… we’ve never played there before so it’ll be cool. We’re excited. Any last words for the UW Madison student body before you play here next Friday? Um… Get ready to rage out?

opinion Discrimination in Russia should be fought l

Weekend, November 1-3, 2013

Genevieve Globus opinion columnist

s many of you know, earlier this year Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a bill banning the “propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations” throughout Russia. These laws have made it illegal to hold gay pride parades and events, to defend gay rights through the media and to inform minors about the gay and lesbian community. Not only have these laws been imposed on citizens of Russia, but also on foreigners and the media, with fines of up to $31,000 being implemented. Due to the vagueness of this law, citizens and foreigners alike in Russia can be arrested simply for stating that they are gay. The Russian city of Sochi is set to hold the Olympic games this year, which will bring in mobs of tourists and business to the Russian economy, thus supporting the Russian government. Not to mention that hosting the Olympic games greatly improves

a country’s reputation. The Olympic games will also bring in a significant amount of foreigners who, under Russian law, could be arrested just for wearing a rainbow shirt. Despite these discriminatory laws, the International Olympic Committee has refused to put any pressure on the Russian government as they have done with many other countries in the past.

America can do so much more to promote equal rights than just sending gay and lesbian athletes to the Olympics.

Even worse is the IOC’s stance against showing gay pride at the Olympics. According to Rule 50 of the Olympic charter, “no kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas,” which the IOC is taking to mean that no open expression of gay pride

mote equal rights for gays and lesbians and Olympic sponsors should also use their ads to show support for gay rights.

The fact that the IOC has gone along with the Russian government and tolerated these laws should be a serious wakeup call to people worldwide.

Russia’s anti-gay propaganda law is an attempt by the government to silence the voices of a huge part of its population and should not be encouraged by the rest of the world, especially a nation like the U.S., which brags about its ideal of “liberty and justice for all.” Genevieve is a sophomore majoring in vocal performance. How do you think the U.S. should react to Russia’s anti-gay laws in the upcoming 2014 Winter Olympics? Do you think it’s our place to step in? Tell us what you think!

A Nightmare on Pennsylvania Avenue President Barack Obama has a lot on his plate. The launch of the Affordable Care Act, a stubborn Congress, immigration reform pushing through the House—nothing else could go wrong, right? Oh, but the Affordable Care Act website crashed. There’s that. And the NSA might have done a tiny bit (read: a lot) of snooping on Germany, and probably on its chancellor Angela Merkel. I’d be pretty afraid of both. Time to stay inside and eat all of yesterday’s candy by oneself and wait for this to blow over. + Ravi Pathare

Men’s Hockey

Badgers are ready after Boston debacle By Adee Feiner The Daily Cardinal

After uncharacteristically weak defensive play in which they allowed 16 goals in two games, the Badgers men’s hockey team (2-2-0 overall) looks to get back on track with its success as undefeated Lake Superior State (4-0-0) comes to the Kohl Center for a weekend matchup. Two weeks ago, the Badgers road trip to the East Coast proved to be unfriendly as they lost 9-2 and 7-3 to Boston College and Boston University. After returning the team had a bye week, giving them the chance to regroup and refocus. “I like the way we went back to work last week,” head coach Mike Eaves said. “We accomplished a lot of things that we as a coaching staff set out to do and we felt that we went back to basics. We worked hard and smart, so we feel it was a good week.” Sophomore forward Nic Kerdiles, who tallied a goal and an assist in Boston to give him points in 16 consecutive games

Sophomore forward Nic Kerdiles has points in 16 straight games after his goal and assist in Boston. dating back to last season, said the key to limiting the Lakers’ scoring opportunity starts right in front of their own net. “I think just starting from the back end, playing defensively and playing strong in our zone is the number one thing,” Kerdiles said. “Coach likes to

he arrival of cold weather has signaled the return of Wisconsin basketball. Action returned to the Kohl Center Wednesday night, as the Badgers handled UW-Platteville in an exhibition game 80-51. The preseason game allowed a look into what this year’s team may have in store for the 2013-’14 season. The starting lineup consisted of two returning starters, junior guard Traevon Jackson and senior guard Ben Brust, while redshirt junior guard Josh Gasser, sophomore forward Sam Dekker and junior forward Frank Kaminsky filled the three open spots. The most glaring aspect of the starting five was the absence of center Jared Berggren. The second team all-conference void will look to be filled by Kaminsky, who showed some promising signs Wednesday night. On only 18 minutes of play, Kaminsky was 4-7 shooting with nine points, three rebounds and three blocks. More importantly, we saw a slightly more physical side of Kaminsky in the post. That physicality is exactly what the Badgers will need from him this season if we hope to compete with other physical teams at the top of the Conference. On the topic of physical play, a player that proved himself to be a force on the boards was freshman forward Nigel Hayes. He was the Badgers highest recruit this off-season, and perhaps had the most impressive performance. He had a team leading six rebounds (five on the offensive end) and was 4-7 shooting, while proving that he could be a power

down low this season. Another intriguing player for Wisconsin is redshirt junior Duje Dukan. Dukan is player who redshirted last season, but showed that he is more than ready to return Wednesday night. Within minutes of tip-off, he checked into the game and instantly made a difference, knocking down a 3-point shot. He exemplified great confidence in his shot, an attribute that Badger big men have had in past years. Dukan will be a huge part of the team this year, as he looks like he can play a role similar to that of the one Kaminsky played last season. The new season has also brought the return of Gasser, who missed last season due to injury. Gasser, a starter and leader for Wisconsin, showed good mobility and didn’t hesitate to take the ball to the rim. Senior guard Ben Brust picked up right where he left off last season, scoring a team leading 20 points. As always, UW will be expected to have a disciplined, team defense. The defense did not look quite like itself against Platteville, but this is probably just a factor of it being early in the season. I’m confident the Badger defense will be tough and ready come the beginning of the season. Wisconsin has been named preseason No. 20 for good reason. With experience at the top and a blend of blooming young players, they certainly have all of the pieces. Per usual, much of their success will ride on how they shoot the 3-point shot, but there are few players in the Badgers lineup that can’t shoot from beyond the arc. This year’s team is ready for the season and I’m excited for what they have in store for the Big Ten Conference. Let Blake how you think the Badgers will do this year by emailing sports@dailycardinal.com.

build teams from the back to the front, so that’s what we’ve got to focus on.” And even though Kerdiles was featured on NHL.com, the national spotlight hasn’t resulted in any additional pressure, at least not in his mind. “I just take it as a compli-

ment,” Kerdiles said in regards to the feature. “It’s nice seeing your name on NHL.com and having people write nice things about you. Obviously it’s an honor, but it’s something I’ve got to look past, and build off it.” Not discouraged after the team’s less than ideal perfor-

mance in Beantown, senior forward Mark Zengerle said the task ahead remains getting back to work and focusing on Lake Superior State. “There’s a lot of hockey to be played, and you know, that’s why there’s more than 10 games in a season because things like [Boston] do happen,” Zengerle said. “So now it’s just come back, put your hard hat on and go to work. There are other weekends ahead here.” He also said getting the jump on Lake Superior State will be essential for the Badgers, something that should work given their time off from games. “We’ve got to come out hard right away, I mean they’re 4-0,” Zengerle said. “It’ll be important for us to come out right away and use our energy we’ve had saved up for the past few weeks on them.” Puck-drop against Lake Superior State gets underway Friday night at 7 p.m. Both games will also be televised on Wisconsin Channel.

UW ready to battle for Heartland By Cameron Kalmon the daily cardinal

The Heartland Trophy is up for grabs in an all-time series tied 42-42-2. Wisconsin (3-1 Big Ten, 5-2 overall) will be heading to Iowa City this weekend to face off against Iowa (2-2, 5-3). The Hawkeyes defeated Northwestern last week and held their own against No. 4 Ohio State the week before. The Badgers are coming off their second bye week in October. Their first bye week was right after their 31-24 loss to Ohio State. Wisconsin came back then to beat Northwestern 35-6. The last time that Iowa and Wisconsin hashed it out for the Heartland Trophy was in 2010 on Iowa’s home turf. The Heartland trophy was established in 2004, but the Hawkeyes and Badgers have been battling since 1894. “This is football. This is what I came to the Big Ten for,” redshirt sophomore Michael Caputo said. “[The Heartland

Trophy] means a lot. When I first committed to Wisconsin they were playing Iowa in 2010 that was one of the biggest games. It means a lot to me personally: Because of that game in 2010 I got fired up and came to play here.” Heading into November, a bye week can be a welcomed time of rejuvenation and replenishment for a football team. Redshirt senior linebacker Chris Borland was injured in the Badgers’ last match-up against Illinois. Due to his right hamstring injury, Borland was only able to play in the first quarter of the Wisconsin victory. Borland currently leads the Badgers with 35 solo tackles and 57 total tackles and is a semifinalist for the Chuck Bednarik Award, most outstanding defensive player of the year, and the Butkus Award, top linebacker in the country. He did not practice with the team until Thursday this week. Borland is a game time decision for this weekend. However, Wisconsin fans should not fret.

The Badger defense has been working in both redshirt junior linebacker Marcus Trotter and redshirt junior linebacker Derek Landisch. Redshirt senior outside linebacker Ethan Armstrong has been working in at rover as well. On the offensive side of the ball there has not been much talk about Wisconsin this week. The trio of running backs; senior James White, redshirt sophomore Melvin Gordon, and freshman Corey Clement will likely be the Badgers initial method of attack. Iowa has the worst ranked rushing offense in the Big Ten, but Wisconsin is ranked first with the help of Gordon’s 1,012 rushing yards this season. “Coming off of a bye week its always exciting to get to the time where we get to go play, the kids are relaxed, we’re going into athletic environment to play a very good team,” head coach Gary Andersen said. “It should be a big time, a Big Ten Football game.”
