Number of Students arrested at camp randall

Arrests at Camp Randall have been been low through the first six games of the season. The contests against Nebraska and UNLV saw higher numbers, which police attrubite to their late starts. Many arrests at the stadium are due to alcoholrelated violations.

An unlikely source initiated the first petition to recall Republican Gov. Scott Walker on Friday, a week and a half earlier than the start of the recall anticipated by Democrats. With a history of donating to Walker and the Republican Party, David Brandt of Muskego filed paperwork Nov. 4 on behalf of the “Close Friends to Recall Walker” committee. In the words of the paperwork, Brandt registered the committee to “fulfill [his] friend’s last request,” according to Channel3000.com. The Democratic Party of Wisconsin denounced Brandt’s action as a trick meant to open the door to Walker, who, if the petition is successful, is legally permitted to raise unlimited

funds to campaign against his recall. Mike Tate, chair of the DPW, released a statement Friday announcing his belief that despite “under-handed and even downright criminal dirty tricks”, the recall will still take place. “No matter how dirty the Republicans play or how much outside cash the Koch Brothers spend on false and misleading ads, the people of Wisconsin … will have their day, and they will recall Scott Walker,” Tate said. According to Nicole Larson, spokeswoman for the Republican Party of Wisconsin, the “rumors being circulated by the Democrats are completely false.” Other state Republicans, including RPW Executive Director Stephan Thompson, have expressed they do not know Brandt, saying the GOP was not involved in the Nov. 4 filing. A single organization must gather 540,000 petition signa-

Arrests down at Camp Randall Police arrested 12 students and ejected 18 at Saturday’s Badger football game, some of the lowest numbers officials have seen all season. Games with the highest number of arrests were this season’s night games against University of Nevada-Las Vegas on Sept. 1, with 18 students arrested and 39 ejected, and the Badger’s Big Ten welcoming game against the Nebraska Corn Huskers on Oct. 1, with 26 student arrests and 43 ejections. Night games historically

cause more alcohol-related problems because no matter what time the game starts, according to police, tailgating in Madison usually starts at around 9 a.m. Most arrests and ejections stem from underage drinking, possession of alcohol, fighting and throwing objects. According to Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, many individuals draw the attention of police “not what they are doing to others, but because of the state they are in.” “If [a student] is having trou-

ble standing or walking, it’s not unusual to be detox conveyances,” he said. There are thousands of students at football games, Verveer said, and overall there have not been any “real” problems for decades. He said that back in in the 1980’s, “when the Badgers were lousy,” students threw bleachers off the side of the stadium and students would body surf in the stands. —Taylor Harvey

20,000 apply for concealed carry permit Less than a week after a state law allowing concealed carry went into place, more than 20,000 Wisconsin citizens have already applied for a permit from the Department of Justice. The new statewide policy, which took effect Nov. 1, lets Wisconsinites apply by mail or in person for a permit to carry hidden weapons. The department had received

20,381 concealed carry applications as of Friday afternoon, DOJ communications officer Dana Brueck said. The DOJ’s downloadable online application also went live last week. By noon Friday, the DOJ had approved 641 licenses, printed 538 and rejected 117 concealed carry applications, according to Brueck. Being rejected means a prob-

lem such as incomplete applicant data, insufficient training documentation or missing pay, Brueck said. “Rejected is different from denied,” Brueck clarified in an e-mail. “Applications that say rejected are just that—‘rejected,’ not denied.” The agency anticipates around 200,000 applicants, the Wisconsin State Journal reported Friday.

Dozens report illness after eating at Pyle Center

Nearly three dozen people reported symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting Friday after eating from a buffet at the UW-Madison Pyle Center, a spokeswoman for UW Extension told the Wisconsin State Journal. According to the official, 35 people reported illness Thursday after the meal in the Pyle Center’s Alumni Lounge. She said the university

served the same food to four other groups at the center in addition to employees and visitors at the Lowell Center, but nobody else reported feeling ill. Officials from the UW Environment, Health and Safety department were contacted following the reports. Madison and Dane County Public Health Spokesman Jeff Golden said his department was

not aware of the illness until Friday evening. While the university will lead the investigation, Golden said it will likely keep in contact with his department. “My guess is that … [the university’s] epidemiologist and their health people will investigate this thoroughly and probably bring some of our people in as well,” Golden said.

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

Jacqueline O’Reilly o’really?!

H

ave you ever had one of those weeks were nothing—absolutely nothing!—funny happens to you, but your friends’ lives seem to be a constant source of amusement? Welp, that was my life last week. In the continual cycle of coffee, class and work, my existence turned completely lackluster. Thank goodness for the absurdities of others. Seeing as I have no funny story to recall or observation to discuss, I’ll share these funny stories with you. And if you’re having a duller than dull week, I hope they provide you with some comic relief.

“Dingleberries”

My friend and her boyfriend are very close. While I stand firmly in my “use discretion”corner, she tells her boyfriend everything—and I mean everything—about her life. Usually I envy this openness, but Wednesday reminded me why it is sometimes best to keep your mouth shut. After taking a shower that

morning, my friend emerged from the bathroom to tell her boyfriend, “You’re not going to believe it. I just pulled the longest dingleberry ever out of my butt!” Her boyfriend, whose face at that moment I would pay millions of dollars to see, responded, “Ew, babe, I don’t need to know that! Why are you telling me this?” My friend, confused and somewhat offended, asked, “What’s the big deal? Everybody gets dingleberries.” As it turns out, my friend thought “dingleberries” was the term used for the hair you find stuck in your butt crack after you take a shower, not, well, poop. After her boyfriend corrected her, she was mortified and came to me for reassurance, but I don’t think my continual fits of laughter were all that comforting.

The (maybe) dead neighbor

College apartment buildings smell awful. It is an unfortunate reality of Madisonian life, and why my friends didn’t immediately worry when their complex started to smell like Hagrid’s armpit. They did start to worry, however, when a package left leaning against the door of the apartment across the hall, remained untouched for three long weeks. “If something was going

to and from that apartment, the package would have fallen or been brought inside or SOMETHING!” my friend nervously reasoned. I sat on the couch, urging her to call the police. Did I actually think her neighbor was dead? It seemed plausible, but more than anything I wanted to see this situation unfold. After 20 minutes of convincing and a spiked Arnold Palmer, she called the nonemergency police, who said they would be over immediately.

Man, what I wouldn’t give up to have a haunted apartment during a boring week like this.

Well, we must have missed their arrival, because when my friend looked again 10 minutes later, the book was gone. One of two things happened: The police came, saw that the apartment had been vacated and took to book, OR IT WAS IT GHOST! Man, what I wouldn’t give up to

Delving into

have a haunted apartment during a boring week like this.

The Bob Saget encounter

I’ve had a lot of lucky moments in life. When I was a kid, I won a free cruise, a trip to London and—wait for it—a pineapple within the span of five years. More recently, I was brought up on stage at The Second City in Chicago last month, an exciting moment for me considering the loves of my life happen to be Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. But that’s all in the past, because last week my friend got to talk to and meet the father figure we all grew up with: Bob Saget, also know as Danny Tanner from “Full House.” While I was meeting with my bosses for a mid-semester evaluation, my friend was chatting up the Bobster, asking about his buddy John Stamos and if he would every consider changing his name to Bob Swaget. Then when she went to his show Friday night, Bob remembered her and called her “nice.” I can’t get my own sister to call me nice. Is your life way more awesome than Jacqueline’s?

Hillary Clinton wants education president By KARIN NEMBACH of the Cardinal staff If Hillary Clinton has her way, the United States will have a “real education president” in 1993. Longtime advocate of children’s education Clinton spoke to approximately 400 Wisconsin Education Association members Friday at their annual convention. Clinton, a member of the Children’s Defense Fund and participator in the National Council for Education in the Economy, got a roaring response to her statement, “Wouldn’t it be nice to have a real education president for a change?” She said her husband, Gov. Bill Clinton, would provide full funding for Head Start so that every youngster can have a chance to succeed. She said a strong correlation exists between the achievements a child has in school with its future success in the real world. “The more a child learns the more the child will earn,” she said. She said thousands of families already participate in programs that help singlemothered homes with educating their children. Through these programs, the mothers have become partners with the schools in raising their children, she said. Clinton contrasted her

husband’s program with President Bush’s Education 2000 proposal. She said Bush’s program wants American students to be the best by year 2000, but the proposal lacks cultural, social and educational considerations that U.S. students need in order to succeed. She added it fails to unify the nation in

its efforts to achieve academic excellence and fails to provide the necessary motivation. “A classroom needs to challenge students to think and dream,” she said. To provide this motivation, she said, Bill Clinton is proposing an apprenticeship program to non-college students that continues two

years after high school. Another Clinton presidential proposal terminates the current student loan program and replaces it with the National Service Trust Fund designed to allow students to pay back tuition by taxing graduates’ job income or by having graduates spend two years in government service.

Ban on signs in state buildings brings suit By Ben Siegel The Daily Cardinal

Following a flurry of policymaking that included extending concealed carry to the legislative floors of the Capitol, a group of protestors sued the state Friday over their right to carry banners and signs in state buildings. In a lawsuit filed against the Wisconsin Department of Administration Friday, six protestors are challenging a state policy that prohibits carrying banners and signs in state buildings without explicit permission from the DOA. The six received citations during Capitol protests in March for holding signs inside the Capitol. “In all cases the signs were examples of the pure expression of political ideas,” lawyer Jeff Scott Olson wrote in the lawsuit. “Several signs that led to citations

simply contained (the) words of the free speech provision of the Wisconsin Constitution.” Capitol Police issued each protestor a $500 fine. The citations have been dismissed by the Dane County District Attorney’s Office, according to the Wisconsin State Journal. The Assembly Committee on Organization altered policy to permit concealed firearms on both the Assembly floor and gallery Thursday morning. An attempt to amend the proposal to also allow signs in the gallery by Rep. Peter Barca, D-Kenosha, was one of many efforts by Democrats to highlight both suggested similarities between the issues and apparently inconsistent policies. “I’m going to be able to bring my gun [on the assembly floor], we’re going to be able to bring

guns into the gallery,” Rep. Kelda Helen Roys, D-Madison, said. “That’s apparently not going to be a distraction. But it’s going to be a problem for people to hold signs, or wave a flag or wear a button. I just don’t know where this ends.” A total 18 people were ejected from the gallery Thursday for disrupting and distracting legislators after repeated warnings from Speaker Pro Tem Bill Kramer, R-Waukesha, including a number of people for signs featuring Jesus, Mother Teresa and the American flag. The gallery was cleared for good after a number of obscenities were directed at Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald, R-Horicon. The DOA has yet to comment on the lawsuit, which names DOA and Capitol Police officials as defendants.

ASM Freshman Rep. David Maier said he wants students to be more involved in shared governance on campus.

Newly elected ASM Reps. call for more transparency By Aleah Heinlein The Daily Cardinal

Newly elected Associated Students of Madison representatives said they want to see more transparency within student government. Freshman Rep. Mia Akers said she hopes she can make ASM clearer and more accessible to students, and that she hopes to bring a less tense atmosphere to student council meetings.

“We are the representation for our student body.”

Maria Giannopoulos ASM Freshman Representative

Although the Democratic Party of Wisconsin plans to start its recall effort against Gov. Scott Walker on Nov. 15, a Republican donor launced a petition Friday, a move Democrats call a trick.

recall from page 1 tures within 60 days of the start of a recall petition to force a recall election. If different petitions are sponsored by different organizations, voters can sign

multiple petitions. United Wisconsin and the DPW have long planned initiating the recall effort on Nov. 15. These organizations plan on beginning what they call the “real” recall effort next Tuesday.

“It is important for the supporters of the real effort to remove Walker from office remain focused and not sign any recall petition until November 15,” United Wisconsin said on its website.

Campus food drive running through Nov. 15 More than 70 UW-Madison organizations are taking part in the Red and White Hunger Fight, a campus-wide food drive that began Oct. 1 and will continue through Nov. 15.

From Monday through Nov. 13, athletic teams and student organizations will distribute grocery bags and flyers on residents’ doorsteps to inform them about the food drive. On Nov. 13, participants will return to collect food. The Student Athlete Advisory Committee coordinated the event, called “Tagging and Bagging.”

➣ ➣ ➣ ➣

On Tuesday, Nov. 15, volunteers will take all donated food to Ogg Hall, where they will sort, box and load food onto Community Action Coalition trucks. The group that donates the most food will receive tickets to a UW men’s basketball game where they will receive recognition during a presentation at center court. Last year the Hunger Fight collected the most food since the initiative debuted three years ago, weighing in at 6,600 pounds. Army ROTC won the grand prize by collecting 1,095 pounds of food. Anyone who would like to donate food can drop it off at the Morgridge Center, located on the first floor of the Red Gym, 716 Langdon St.

“I want people to look at me and what I bring to ASM as an unbiased person who brings a lot of experience and diversity to any decisions I make,” Akers said. Similarly, Freshman Rep. Devon Maier said he wants to see more student participation and

media opportunities in ASM. Maier said UW-Madison students could be more involved with shared governance at the university. “I consider myself an agent for change across campus,” Maier said. Rep. Maria Giannopoulos said she wants to use ASM to promote opportunities for students and keep students informed on topics that pertain to them. “We are the representation for our student body,” Giannopoulos said. “I am really excited to be seen as a listening person, rather than just a talking person.” Rep. Colin Higgins said he hopes to get students involved in state and national politics and make it easier to vote through ASM. Higgins also would like to see a sustainability committee established to make campus more environmentally friendly. “I would like to be seen as someone who factors in the decision of the environment,” Higgins said. “Not just the ecological environment, but also the social environment of the student body on campus.”

Man asks police for ride, gets busted with Hydrocodone, open beer container Police arrested a Milwaukee man for possession of an open beer and a container of Hydrocodone pills on Regent Street late Thursday night. The man, 31, first made contact with police at a West Washington Avenue convenience store earlier Thursday night when he tried to convince a patrolling officer it was the officer’s “duty” to give him a ride to a friend’s house on Verona Road. “The officer told him that actually was not part of his tour of duty, and he explained to the man how one can utilize a city bus to get to a destination,” Madison Police Department Spokesperson

Joel DeSpain said in a statement. Police recognized the same man a few minutes later standing on the traffic island at the intersection of Regent Street and West Washington Avenue. According to the report, there was an open pint-sized container of beer in addition to several articles of clothing, which had been in the man’s backpack, strung out on the island. Police also found Hydrocodone pills, not prescribed to the man, in the man’s pocket. “He did get a ride in a squad car, although not to his destination of choice,” DeSpain said. —Taylor Harvey

Florence and the Machine’s latest album Ceremonials is a cohesive and entertaining work. The album, although lengthy, explores themes of love and rejection through many of the tracks.

Newest album just a cog in the ‘meh’chine By Lauren Bade The daily cardinal

Florence + the Machine are back with their second fulllength release. Released on Nov. 1, Ceremonials features Florence Welsh at her best, showing that she is as dark and romantic as on previously released Lungs , with a sense of album cohesiveness that was not found on the former release. Welsh successfully proves “Dog Days are Over” is not a one-hit wonder, but that she truly has staying power. Ceremonials begins with piano and harp heavy “Only If for a Night,” a song with strong Bjork influences. Unfortunately, the song grows repetitive and dragged out, making it a weak opener for the album. “Shake it Out” is one of the best singles from Ceremonials, and for good reason. Much like her earlier hit “The Dog Days Are Over,” “Shake it Out” stresses the importance of celebrating life. Welsh also sings about moving on from the past with the line “and it’s hard to dance / with the devil on your back / so shake him off.” Released in August, preceding the album, “What the Water Gave Me” is the album’s first released song. Here, Welsh departs from her previously uplifting mood established on “Shake it Off ” to dive into topics relating to death and suicide. References to both Virginia Woolf (“pockets full of stones”) and Frida Kahlo (“What the Water Gave Me” comes from the translation of Kahlo’s painting “Lo Que el agua me dio”) are found within the song. Throughout Ceremonials Welsh proves the point that she is a hopeless romantic obsessed with relationships, despite the fact that her pursuits usually ends up in heartbreak. A motown sound can be found in “Lover to Lover”. The song conjures up the sound of an early Annie

Lennox mixed with a modern Adele. Welsh explores topics of sexuality, claiming that there’s no salvation for her now, but “that’s alright.” The second single from Ceremonials is “No Light, No Light.” This song catpures Welsh at both her most desperate and poetic. She explores the subject of not loving someone enough to stay with them, but finding herself unable to tell her lover that she has stopped feeling the relationship (“but it’s so hard, my love / to say it to you alone”). “No light, no light, in your bright blue eyes,” she sings, with the lack of light perceived in her lover’s eye portraying the actual lack of light in her own heart. An R&B feel comes through strong in the track “Heartlines.” Despite a strong refrain, at times the powerful drums muddle the chorus. “Spectrum” continues the R&B feel from “Heartlines.” In “Spectrum,” love is once again explored. It brings up themes of how love makes you shine and is able to bring out your true colors and potential. As Welsh sings, “Say my name, and every color illuminates.” In “All This and Heaven Too”, Welsh continues the discussion on love. To her, love is complicated and difficult to understand. She explains that “the heart is hard to translate / it has a language of its own.” She ends, with the lyric, “all this heaven / never could describe / such a feeling as I’m having / Words were never / so useful so I’m screaming out / a language that I never / knew existed before,” continuing her lyrical discussion of the complexities of romance. “All This and Heaven Too” is easily the most memorable song on the album, despite its cliché girl-likes-boy story. Ceremonials ends with “Leave My Body.” In this, Welsh describes how she does not want a relationship, but instead is seeking a higher,

almost metaphysical relationship through the lines “I don’t want your future / I don’t need your past / one bright moment / is all I ask / I’m moving on to higher grounds.” Ceremonials Overall, is a decent new release by Florence + the Machine. However, the length of the CD starts to feel a bit like a marathon. Topping out at 56 minutes, its length feels dauntingly long for an indiepop album. Arguably Florence + the Machine’s best song to date is “Kiss With a Fist” (from the 2009 Lungs ) running a little over two minutes. Welsh should have taken a hint that much can be accomplished in a short amount of time from the success of this concise song. This album’s songs could have been equally powerful at a more manageable 3 minutes compared to 5. For those who are unable to commit to 56 minutes, try “Shake it Out,” “Lover to Lover” and “All this and Heaven Too.” photo courtesy island records

his November marks the birth of a new cinematic obscenity from Adam Sandler. It is so obviously, absurdly horrible that upon viewing the trailer for the first time, I assumed it was a leftover gag movie from “Funny People,” in which Sandler plays a hyperbolized version of himself, starring in such fictional trash as “Mer-Man,” “Astro-Not” and “My Best Friend is a Robot”—I wish that were the case. Sadly, “Jack and Jill,” in which Sandler dons drag to play both a twin brother and his profoundly obnoxious sister, is very, very real. So to save your eyes the searing pain of seeing Sandler debase himself in drag for another pile of cash. For your enjoyment, I present this list of other, less insufferable movies to see this November: “The Artist” (Already in limited release, Nov. 23 Wide Release): Set in 1927 Hollywood, this film concerns George Valentin, a silent movie superstar. His career is set on a path toward imminent demise thanks to the arrival of the “talkies.” French writer-director Michel Hazanavicius won Best Director at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival for this ambitious film, which itself is a modern-day blackand-white silent film. Critics are already praising this historical tale of video-killed-theradio-star—or rather, silent movie star as a potential Best Picture contender at the Oscars, if the Academy can embrace the film’s authentic silence—but that’s a big “if” considering just how much sound helps us engage with movies. “The Artist” likely isn’t for everyone, but I’m intrigued to see how Hazanavicius has crafted such a well-received film without the use of sound or color in an age where story telling has become increasingly dependent on crutches like expository dialogue and gaudy special effects. “The Muppets” (Nov. 23): I was never one for Disney movies as a kid, as much of a sacrilege as that may be to some, but I did love the Muppets—everything from the cartoon Muppet Babies to “Muppet Treasure Island” the movie. With the pure, unbridled love of Muppets that Jason Segel has demonstrated over the years, including his hilarious vampire-puppet love story musical nod to the Henson creations in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” I can’t imagine a better candidate than Segel for reviving the franchise without losing what

made the Muppets so lovable to begin with. This time around, Kermit, with the help of Segel and Amy Adams, must reunite the Muppets who have gone their separate ways over the years. They do this in order to stage a telethon and raise $10 million to save the Muppet Theater from being destroyed by a nefarious Texas oil tycoon, who wants to drill for oil. If the delightfully satirical faux movie trailers featuring the Muppets released so far are any indication, “The Muppets” may just live up to the ambitious name Segel originally wrote for his script, “The Greatest Muppet Movie of All Time.” “Hugo” (Nov. 23): This film follows the adventures of an early 20th century orphan living in the walls of a Parisian train station. He finds himself involved in a magical adventure involving mysterious machines, an eccentric girl and the odd owner of a toy store in the station. With the exception of Pixar films, I’m not much of an aficionado of kids movies. The same can be said for 3-D movies. So why am I excited to see “Hugo,” this non-Pixar 3-D kids movie? Martin Scorsese. If Scorsese, the man behind “Taxi Driver,” “Goodfellas,” “The Departed” and too many other classic films to name here, thinks he can put 3-D to good use, I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt— ditto for the family movie genre. “Attack the Block” (out now): This self-written directorial debut from Joe Cornish, a frequent writing collaborator of Edgar Wright (“Shaun of the Dead,” “Scott Pilgrim”), made its way onto my list of favorite films of the year with ease, calling to mind other epic writer-director debuts like Quentin Tarantino’s “Reservoir Dogs” and Neil Blomkamp’s “District Nine.” The film takes place entirely in and around a large public housing estate in London, where a group of inner-city teenage thugs is forced to defend their block from an alien invasion in the middle of the night. “Attack the Block” shows off an incredibly tight script riddled with clever surprises and a pitchperfect blend of white-knuckle sci-fi horror thrills. It is entrancing with it’s slick and stylish action sequences and signature British wit that could be studied in any screen writing class as a perfect example of the craft at its finest. The best part is you can see “Attack the Block” right now on DVD and Blu-ray. Got your own best movie picks of November?

On the Skinny

Ceremonials, the latest from Florence in the Machine, is worth a listen, but not worth raving about. Did it pass? We gave it a C+ for overall decent sound and lyricism, but drawn-out length.

opinion U.S. should address Mexican drug wars dailycardinal.com

Miles Kellerman opinion columnist

The United States has long had an interest in nation-building. Aside from our military involvement in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, we’re also firing drones into Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen. Thanks to Wikileaks, we now know that the CIA is in the process of establishing secret drone bases in places like Djibouti, Ethiopia and the Seychelles Islands. In addition to close alliances with Israel and Turkey, the United States has formed a sphere of influence around Iran and guaranteed that it has an impact on the development and repercussions of the Arab Spring—for better or worse. The incentives are obvious: When we are able to influence the development or redevelopment of newly reformed governments we can support leaders and initiatives that aid American interests. It worked well with the Marshall Plan, not so well in Vietnam and has had mixed results in the Middle East. And while there may still be some inkling of moral initiative to spread freedom and democracy, where and how we attempt to exert our influence should be analyzed primarily as strategic. If we really cared about spreading the American ideal we would currently be putting far more diplomatic pressure on the extremely oppressive Syrian regime.

response to the lack of opportunity and political instability in Mexico. Thus the increase in drug cartel wars encourages illegal immigration by failing to provide safety and security in Mexico. In addition, the influx of illegal drugs and the violence that accompanies it spills over into the United States. In the longterm, a politically corrupt neighbor has the potential to undermine U.S. interests by making trade agreements unreliable. So why not nation build in Mexico? In 2012 USAID will give just over $60 million in aid to Mexico, but when political institutions are deeply corrupt, and drug cartels give almost twice that amount to Mexican officials every month, our aid is either misused or ineffective. And while the United States military has started to help train Mexican police, they have done little to curb the power of drug cartels in the country. Our first and most obvious step is to legalize marijuana. The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that the Mexican earnings from drug sales is upwards of $48 billion, half of which is expected to come from cannabis. Aside from arguments about personal liberty and the harm of marijuana, it would create a large legitimate market in the United States and eradicate the cartel’s oligopoly on its distribution. Legalizing marijuana is easier said than done, yet we may

actually be doing a disservice to Mexico by maintaining its illegality. This is, however, no wholesale solution—90 percent of cocaine in America flows through Mexico and its export of crystal methamphetamine is an enormous source of income that won’t be legalized in the United States any time soon. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency does what it can to curb the trade within the United States, but it can do little to improve conditions in Mexico. If we have the funds to establish military bases and carry out drone attacks in a number of Middle Eastern countries, one would assume we have the capability to significantly aid the training and deployment of police in nearby Mexico. Sending American troops is out of the question politically, but we have the resources to train Mexican troops and police units on a wider scale. No one solution is all-encompassing, and eventually political institutions in Mexico will have to eradicate corruption and put power back in the hands of its legitimate government in order to have longterm success. But with the resources we have, and the economic incentives an eradicated drug trade might offer, perhaps it’s time for the United States to consider nationbuilding closer to home.

St. Cloud from page 8 but the blame could certainly be spread among the entire Badgers team. Junior defenseman John Ramage deflected two Husky goals past Peterson, Wisconsin gave up two more power play goals while failing to score any of their own and the offense never seemed to

gain any control over the game. Wisconsin came out Saturday night looking for redemption and hoping to prove that Friday night’s loss was nothing more than a fluke. Schultz opened the scoring once again for the Badgers, but St. Cloud State would battle back and tie the game by the end of the first period.

In Saturday’s game, Justin Schultz scored the game-tying goal with 40 seconds left in the game, completing the comeback.

Two more goals by the Huskies put the Badgers down 3-1 early in the third period, but just as they have done so often early on this season, Wisconsin would not give up, battling back to tie the game with two goals in the final five minutes. Paape pulled Wisconsin within one with 4:19 remaining before Schultz, who is playing some of his best hockey to date, scored the tying goal with only 40 seconds left in regulation. After a scoreless overtime, the Badgers escaped with a 3-3 tie. Eaves was not overly concerned with the final score on Saturday, but put more emphasis on having his team play a complete game. “I told the boys [Friday] night that it didn’t matter if we won or lost or tied tonight, it was how we played,” Eaves said after Saturday’s game. “How we played got us back into this game and got us a point on the road. It was a real good effort by a young team” As young as the Badgers are this season (20 players are freshmen or sophomores, while there are just five juniors and one senior), they have shown

Monday, November 7, 2011 incredible poise in their ability to fight back from multi-goal deficits this season, but games like Friday night’s are unavoidable when facing teams that are led by experienced upperclassmen, like St. Cloud State. In order to win games this year, Wisconsin is going to need to rely on their best weapon—Schultz. “We see him every day and maybe we take him for granted,” Eaves said of his star defenseman. “Every night he provides something.” A Hobey Baker Award finalist from a year ago, Schultz has 14 points in ten games (four goals, ten assists) for the Badgers this year and is unquestionably their most consistent player. After all of the losses from last year’s team, Schultz is the face of Wisconsin hockey and he will have to play like it if the Badgers want to make a return to the NCAA tournament this season. The Badgers return home this coming weekend for a series with archrival Minnesota at the Kohl Center. UWBadgers.com contributed to this report.

Badgers kick off season with exhibition win Wisconsin gets first look at its revamped front court By Max Sternberg The Daily Cardinal

The Wisconsin men’s basketball team got its season off to a solid start with an 80-54 win over Division III powerhouse UW-Stevens Point in the Badgers’ lone exhibition game of the season. Junior forward Ryan Evans, who has been thrust into the starting lineup this season following the departure of three seniors from last year’s front court, led the way with 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting in 23 minutes. Sophomore guard Ben Brust added 14 points of his own, while junior forward Jared Berggren and sophomore guard Josh Gasser rounded out the group of four Badgers in double figures with 12 and 10 points, respectively. The scoring outburst by Berggren and Evans was particularly welcomed, with the front court completely revamped from last season. “I didn’t notice anything I haven’t known for a while,” senior guard Jordan Taylor said. “They know what they’re capable of, they’re really good players and they’re just getting a chance to show it now.” “We’ve known we can do this kind of stuff,” Evans said. “But with Jon [Leuer] and Keaton [Nankivil] leaving, we know we’ve got to step up a little more.” After a season where Wisconsin relied heavily on the scoring of Leuer and Taylor, Badger fans were treated to a much more spread out scoring attack as the Badgers managed to hit the 80-point mark despite the eight points, Taylor scored on 3-of-6 shooting. However, the senior guard made his presence well-known throughout, as he finished the game with a game-high seven assists and just one turnover. “Jordan wasn’t looking to do

anything but run the show,” head coach Bo Ryan said of Taylor. “If the shots were there then great [...] that’s when you know you’ve got a good point guard.” The Pointers hung in the game through the first half, drawing within 10 after opening the second half with a score, but quickly fading as the Badgers size and strength began to take its toll. Senior guard Dan Tillema led the way for Stevens Point with 24 points on 8-for-17 shooting, but ultimately it wasn’t enough to keep pace as the Pointers faded from a 62 percent shooting effort from the field in the first half to shoot just 32 percent in the second half. “It seems like every time you play one of these games, there’s a guy who gets hot,” Ryan said. “You just can’t give him open looks and we did a much better job of that in the second half.” The Badgers were very aggressive on the defensive end through-

out the game, forcing Stevens Point into committing 18 turnovers—a high tally for a Pointer program known throughout the Division III world for its ability to take care of the ball. While the positives were everywhere for Wisconsin, one area that will certainly get emphasis in the break down is the free throw shooting. A season after nearing setting a NCAA record for their proficiency at the line, the Badgers were just 6-for-12 from the charity stripe in the opener, a far cry from last season’s 81.4 percent season total. “You remember its who is shooting them,” Ryan said. “Last year, the right guys got fouled, confident shooters. But yeah, it’s early.” The Badgers now have another week to batten up the hatches before opening the regular season next Saturday against Kennesaw State. Tip off is at noon at the Kohl Center.

Ryan Evans had a game-high 16 points against Stevens Point. Evans will play an increased role in UW’s front court this year.

Wisconsin remains winless on the road By Matt Masterson The Daily Cardinal

The Wisconsin men’s hockey team (3-4-1 WCHA, 4-5-1 overall) traveled to St. Cloud, Minn. this weekend, looking for its first road win of the season against St. Cloud State, but after a disappointing loss on Friday and a hard-fought tie on Saturday, the search goes on. After impressive outings against quality opponents like North Dakota and NebraskaOmaha at home, the Badgers’ young team finally seemed in over their heads against St. Cloud State in a 7-2 romp Friday night.

UW benefits from a bit of home cooking ANALYSIS By Max Sternberg The Daily Cardinal

It is no secret that the Wisconsin football team prefers to play its games in Madison. But after Saturday’s 62-17 victory over Purdue (2-3 Big Ten 4-5 overall), a victory that came on the heels of two-consecutive losses on the road, it is clear that the Badgers (2-2. 7-2) are a different team inside the confines of Camp Randall Stadium. While senior quarterback Russell Wilson was again the focal point of the offense early on, Saturday’s outburst was largely courtesy of junior running back Montee Ball. Ball finished the game with 223 yards on 20 carries, scoring three touchdowns in the process to tie him with Brian Calhoun for the school record of 24 touchdowns for the year. “Montee Ball ran awesome, he always does,” sophomore guard Travis Frederick said. “That’s something we love about him. He’s always running up and down the field.” “Montee did a great job,” junior center Peter Konz added. “As much as it is up blocking up front, the rest of it is [Ball]. He did phenomenal in breaking tackles and running hard and pushing for the goal line, it’s all on him.” Though the final score was lopsided, the Badgers once again left gaping holes in the kick coverage and blew several pass coverages in the secondary. Purdue got their first two scores of the game courtesy of 44 and 66-yard returns by freshman Raheem Mostert, setting the Boilermakers up inside Badger territory twice in the opening quarter. “Kind of like the last kick a week ago, missed tackles kill you. You just cant have missed tackles on kick coverage,” head coach Bret Bielema said of the kick coverage. “We’re going to have to: A., evaluate personnel, and, B. what we’re doing with our alignments

and our coverage rules.” Purdue initially got into a 7-7 tie on a 30-yard pass from junior quarterback Caleb TerBush to junior tight end Crosby Wright, who was wide open thanks to miscommunication once again within the Wisconsin secondary. “There was a bust in the coverage, [UW safety] Shelton [Johnson] knew it right away,” Bielema said. “The great news is he had a good look in his eye on the way back.” What definitely came through on Saturday was Wisconsin’s ability to run the ball down the throat of opposing defenses, something that the Badgers have not really emphasized in their play calling since the two-game losing streak began. The three-headed monster of Ball, Wilson and sophomore running back James White as threats on the ground kept the Boilermaker defense off balance all afternoon, as the Badgers racked up 425 yards of total offense in the first half alone and finished the game with 605 yards of production, a far cry from the totals UW has managed over the past two weeks. But while the offense was the focus of the postgame attention, the defense stepped up at key moments throughout the game. With UW leading 14-7, senior cornerback Antonio Fenelus made a crucial open-field tackle on thirdand-goal that forced Purdue into a field goal and maintained the Badger lead. And after having gone two weeks without an interception, the turnover machine got going once again, thanks to interceptions from linebackers junior Mike Taylor and sophomore Chris Borland. Both turnovers led to Badger touchdowns, playing a large part in what ultimately became a very lopsided final score. “Turnovers are huge,” Borland said after the game. “Anytime you can get our offense the ball back the way they were playing today, that’s huge.”
