Social media expands Farmer’s Market reach By Gillian McBride the daily cardinal
Although the Dane County Farmer’s Market summer season draws to its annual end Saturday, staff members emphasized that it is a year-long market and said customers and vendors alike should be excited for what the future holds. Director Larry Johnson reflected on a successful summer season, and said “the fruit crops have been excellent this year … apples and other crops have been really abundant and they’re really tasty.”
Fifty to 70 vendors will continue appearing every Saturday at Monona Terrace, where the market will move indoors throughout November and December before relocating to the Madison Senior Center in January until the summer 2014 season. According to Johnson, since many vendors operate greenhouses, customers can still find a wide variety of fresh, locally grown produce, as well as meats, cheeses, bakery items, and holiday gifts and decorations such as plants, garlands and wreaths.
Early this summer, the Farmer’s Market created a social media marketing position following the encouragement of several vendors interested in expanding community outreach efforts. They hired Natalie Porter, a University of Wisconsin-Madison senior communications major. Although establishing an online presence was Porter’s primary goal, “the main objective was … reaching out to the student body” through social NICK MONFELI/the daily cardinal

UN envoy argues sexual violence is a global issue
By Emily Gerber the daily cardinal

United Nations representative Zainab Hawa Bangura gave a lecture Wednesday on sexual violence in times of global conflict, a speech that happened to coincide with a weeklong discussion of rape culture on campus. Bangura ran for president in her home country of Sierra Leone, and also served as a foreign minister. She was appointed to her position as a special envoy on sexual violence in September 2012. Bangura said sexual violence knows no geographical or cultural boundaries, and is an issue that should be addressed locally, nationally and internationally. Bangura stressed the need to discontinue rape as a tactic of war, and spoke in detail of the pain and suffering of families due to sexual violence. “An attack on women isn’t just an attack on an individual,” Bangura said. “It is an attack on their family and the community.” Using vivid descriptions to

Vice Provost for Student Life and Dean of Students Lori Berquam attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Associated Students of Madison Coordinating Council meeting Wednesday to discuss recent safety issues on campus, as well as to propose possible recognition of members of ASM. Berquam emphasized the importance of a “multi-faceted approach to communicating” issues pertaining to campus safety, citing the expansion of the Division of Student Life space located in Bascom Hall and various alert implementations through social media. Certain ways that students can access information on campus safety are through WiscAlerts, web chats and even Berquam’s own Twitter account, Berquam said. Berquam also brought up a plan to acknowledge students within ASM. The idea behind the acknowledgement is that students who do not hold official positions but still contribute to day-to-day activities would be recognized for their
work. Berquam said she would like to see a task team developed in the near future to begin planning. “I don’t want people to just come together and say, ‘Here’s your certificate,’” Berquam said about the potential recognitions. “I want it to have depth.” Council members also approved a draft that established a recruitment and retention position in the internal budget. This position would likely replace the budget line of the chief of staff, a position that is currently vacant. The recruitment and retention coordinator will primarily be in charge of setting up the recruitment drive in the fall, as well as assist with the Nominations Board and training of various committees, according to ASM Chair David Gardner. The proposal for the position will head to Student Council for approval next week. ASM Vice Chair Mia Akers also brought forward the topic of the campus-wide diversity plan, saying there needs to be more involvement with the initiative from both ASM mem-

Voter ID bill receives harsh response during public hearing in state Assembly elections committee By Siddharth Pandey the daily cardinal
A new voter ID bill that attempts to address the gaps left by previous legislation received a harsh response in an Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections public hearing Wednesday.
The bill, proposed by state Reps. Michael Schraa, R-Oshkosh, and Mark Born, R-Beaver Dam, requires all Wisconsin citizens to present IDs when they go to the polls, with a few exceptions. The exemptions include people who cannot afford identification,
those who cannot obtain the documents required for an ID and those who cannot to be photographed for religious reasons. Schraa and Born opened Wednesday’s public hearing by saying the bill would allow every eligible voter to exercise his or her right to vote, while simultane-
ously addressing voter fraud. “Voter’s trust in the electoral system continues to erode,” Schraa said. “To me this is simply unacceptable.” Born said he lost his first local election by a single vote, lending significance to the idea that every vote counts.
Under the bill, if a person would elect to use the exemption, his or her ballot would face additional scrutiny and would be marked for potential additional review. One criteria for exemption, however, turned into a point

et me be frank: I’m fucking terrified of technology. Whether it’s having to figure out how to switch inputs on the TV (which I watch as little as possible, mind you), not understanding how any Apple products work, being eons behind in updating my operating system (whatever that is) or going off on a typical temper tantrum about how “computers are stupid” and how “everyone would be so much happier if we didn’t unnecessarily accelerate our lives,” my life almost literally revolves around proving hypermodern technology to be bad. Be it directly through exposition or in the roundabout fashion of making cooler shit sans screens. Yeah, I know I’m writing this on a computer, but that fact is not ironic, so don’t even go there. I’m only doing it this way because it’s the only option. So there. To put this all into perspective, my dad has to teach me how to use anything with a microchip. He has so far surpassed me in understanding gadgets and gizmos that someone could probably make a documentary about us and people would actu-

It would bear the title “Generation ‘Why?’: How some silly little boys are too infantile to learn about stuff with buttons.” Even my mom, who falls very, very low on the scale of tech-adeptness, not only spends more time than me using expensive-looking phones and tablets, but even knows more (esoteric?) techie jargon. It’s madness. Nothing’s holding me back. I could, if I wanted to, get a smartphone and all that other stuff. Oh yeah, I don’t have a smartphone. I still riff T-9 on an antiquated Samsung. Don’t get me wrong— I hate my piece-of-shit cellphone. But at least it’s not “smart.”
I used to watch reruns of “The Jetsons” when I was about 10. There was one episode where, for some reason, they visited the surface level of Earth. It was haunting to me. And now, at age 21, I realize the whole thing—the self-absorbed consumers living
in the sky juxtaposed with those still grounded, all observed by my unassuming, porous mind—was more or less an allegory.
To put this all into perspective, my dad has to teach me how to use anything with a microchip. At this point, I’m once again unsure if I’m still b e i n g funny. This stuff gets me thinking about that one Nicholas Carr essay “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” that many of us had to read in high school— the one we of course skimmed and then forgot about later that day while updating our top friends on MySpace. And it makes me
wonder: What is the “smart” thing to do here? I’m totally paranoid about people who I will never meet watching every move I make because they
can, because everything I do now leaves a permanent trail of encrypted DNA across the web, which, when you think about it, is maybe more of a trap than an interconnection. I’m worried if I become engulfed in the banal obsessions that “smart” technology so adamantly shoves down its users’ throats, I’ll become nothing more than a reaction to the current state of technology instead of technology reacting to my current needs. I don’t want to become a zombie :(. All this is not me acting as the technological version of an Armageddon fanatic. The world will certainly continue with or without tech dependence. So maybe I’m just being dumb. Maybe it’s actually correct to assume something is better because everyone else is doing it. Maybe there’s no reason to distrust the opaque fate awaiting those willing to follow Generation Tech. Maybe I really am stupider without a smartphone. Maybe being eternally distracted by the picayune photos and .GIFs of the Internet is beneficial

ADVICE BIRD
THIS WEEK - Avoiding the common cold this fall - Conquer course selection: How to choose between two classes
Deer Cardinal, Everyone I know is sick! The people I usually spend a lot of time with—my boyfriend, my roommate, my lab partner—have all come down with a cold. How do I keep in touch with them without falling ill myself? I have a huge presentation coming up in a week, and I really can’t afford to get sick. —Irene Illness-free Irene, Staying healthy around this time of year can be challenging, but with a few precautions, you should be able avoid this icky illness that’s going around. To begin with, start boosting your immune system by drinking supplements. I’m not talking commercial crap. Instead, three times a day, chug down a homemade lukewarm shake of blended orange, lemon, clam juice and Brussels sprouts. This blend works like a charm, plus the packaged supplements taste awful! If your roommate is sick, you’ve gotta be careful around the house. Take no chances when it comes to touching anything your roommate may have touched. Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants, and keep your arms and hands covered at all times. If you don’t have gloves, oven mitts will do just fine. To protect your
eyes, cover them with the safety goggles you use in your lab. With regard to the boyfriend, I recommend scaling down to eighth-grade-style relationship where you communicate exclusively via instant message. If you absolutely must see him in person, don’t leave home without hand sanitizer, disinfectant and, just to be extra cautious, a can of Off! Deep Woods. Bathe in Purell immediately after you part ways. As for your workplace? The only fair thing to do is leave the lab work to the partner this week and catch up on what you missed later. That’s all I’ve got. Stay well!
Deer Cardinal, I’m figuring out my schedule, and there are two courses I really want to take, but I only have room for one of them. Can you help me make my final decision? —Carl Conflicted Carl, I’m happy to help you out, but only you can decide which courses are right for you. What I’ll do is give you a few things to consider. Here they are. 1—Final exam schedule: If you’re really torn, and both classes will be equally meaningful to you, make your decision
based on something superficial, like which class finishes sooner. But then again, wouldn’t you feel super dumb if the class ended up being horrible and you picked it because of the final date… 2—Location: How accessible is the classroom? Will you have to huff up Bascom Hill every day just to get to it? Maybe the class is in the Humanities Building and you’ll never be able to find it in the first place. But at the same time, if you really love the material, shouldn’t you be willing to walk for it? You tell me. 3—Group projects: If you can access the syllabus, try to find out whether there’s a group project. On one hand, you might gain valuable insight on the subject matter by working in a group. On the other hand, do you really want to be going back and forth over a Google Doc with three people you hate twice a week for the course of the semester? It’s up to you. Well, Carl, get pumped up for the exciting schedule that awaits— unless you pick the wrong class, in which case, ugh, the cold spring will be dread city.
Got a question? Tweet at the Deer Cardinal. Out loud, not online.

Downtown transit station could better accommodate long distance bus travel By Patricia Johnson the daily cardinal
A proposed bus station at the corner of Mifflin and North Bedford streets would provide a beneficial alternative for bus passengers to waiting out in the cold by the Chazen Museum and Memorial Union. Ken Greve, executive vice president of Boldt Company, a construction services firm, presented plans at a Mifflin neighborhood meeting Wednesday to develop a bus station. Preliminary floor plans include a first floor transit area with parking lots on the second floor and apartment units above for up to 10 floors. Greve said the city conducted a study and concluded that this area would be the ideal spot for a transit center. Community members raised concerns over the small space on which Boldt plans to build the complex, and how to ensure that bus companies would comply with the new transit station protocol. Greve explained that with five bus lanes available, about 35 to 40 buses could pass through in a day, which would provide adequate transit. Other details concerning the station will be figured out in the future when the city

further instructs Boldt about station operations and hiring a private firm to construct the apartment units. Ending the meeting on a high note, Greve mentioned the mayor’s approval of the project. “I didn’t hear any opposition in there, which is good,” Greve said. “We are optimistic to move forward.” Boldt Company hopes to complete the project and provide housing by August 2015. Also at the meeting, Madison Police Department Lt. Kelly Donahue shared a monthly police report, which included an update on the recent arrest of the main suspect in a string of armed robberies around Madison earlier this semester. Donahue attributed the significant decrease in crime to the arrest of Kendridge Dillard, but said there is still more investigative work to be done. “It’s certainly a relief to have this person in custody and hopefully we can send a message to other people who are coming downtown to victimize people that it’s not alright and it won’t be tolerated,” Donahue said. The police have reason to believe the suspect, along with others, may be responsible for 20 to 30 different crimes across Madison. Reps. JoCasta Zamarripa, D-Milwaukee, and Frederick Kessler, D-Milwaukee, took issue with this, pointing out that it invaded a person’s privacy, especially in the case of minorities. Additionally, Kessler emphasized there was no specified standard by which it could be determined whether
The Associated Students of Madison Sustainability Committee met Wednesday to further discuss the “green fund” and the upcoming Sustainability Fair. Last week, Student Council approved the $80,000 budget for the green fund. The green fund is compiled of grants for students with environmentally centered projects. The applicants are required to apply for the grant, where a board will review their application. The green fund’s budget will head to the Student Services Finance Committee Thursday for amendments and approval. In order for the green fund to be implemented, bylaws must be changed, which would require a two-thirds majority vote at two consecutive Student Council meetings. “That’s going to happen hope-
fully by this semester, but once that happens then we are going to get the ball rolling ... we are going to get the board started, we are going to get students involved,” Sustainability Committee Chair Will Mulhern said. According to Mulhern, most people on Student Council are supportive of the green fund, but some still have reservations about how the money is allocated. He said the plan is to make sure all funds are distributed responsibly for student use. The committee also discussed the Sustainability Fair and finalized the plans for the itinerary, which will include speaker Sabrina Bradshaw, a geological engineering research scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The Sustainability Fair is open to all UW-Madison students. The Sustainability Fair will be Thursday, Nov. 14 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Wisconsin Idea Room
within the Education Building. The committee plans to send a mass email next week to further inform students of the event. “We really want to make a strong, final push for this to go well,” Sustainability Committee Vice Chair Kevin Englebert said. “Last year we had a pretty good turnout.” At the meeting, Sustainability Committee intern Jessica Brand said she is creating a campaign to start a service-learning requirement for environmental science and environmental studies majors. This would require students to participate in a certain number of service hours in order to receive either degree. “It’s good for the school because Wisconsin appreciates the idea of giving back to the community,” Brand said. “It’s good for the community ... It’s good for the students because they can get hands-on experience.”
market from page 1 networks, she said. “I started essentially from scratch.” Johnson said he was “real pleased” with the success of the Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest accounts Porter created for the Farmer’s Market. “It’s kind of hard to track social media,” explained Johnson, but “we’re getting more coverage.” Porter noted that while there was “a good response from both vendors and customers,” the Farmer’s Market has a long way to go to connect with its audience online. Porter explained that social media initiatives are “still in the planning stages” for the winter season, and anticipates that limited transportation, competition with football games and busy student schedules will affect attendance. One idea to encourage student attendance involves creating and distributing simple recipes using ingredients that can all be found at the Farmer’s Market, directed at college students who have difficulty cooking in student housing. Johnson was optimistic about the impact social media will have on the winter season, and explained that the vendors and customers are “all in this together, wanting to have good local meals … I think that’s a great connection.”

FILM Music plays a loud role in film WUD WEEKEND Austin wellens all’s well-ens well
S
o I saw “12 Years a Slave,” and it was remarkable. You should all see it. It’s beautifully shot and acted, it’s an incredible story, or at least I wish it was incredible, and it’s told as well as any other. What struck the deepest chord with me, and what I think the film is all about, is the music. Music in films is always interesting. It’s an art form hidden inside another art form. It’s one of the most direct ways for a filmmaker to communicate with their audience, to speak to them in the most basic language we have. Throughout “12 Years a Slave,” there is music. Solomon has his violin; slaves in the fields sing. The score reacts both to humanity’s embrace and its absence. Even when human music disappears, there are still cicadas, crickets and creaks. They’re their own kind of music. As Solomon is broken down more and more, he clings to the veneer of society, of civilization as he sees it. Concepts like honor, valor and decency all slowly fade away as the sophistication of the life he used to know is debased, stripped and broken into its parts. He’s given a violin as a gift by one of his masters; he’s humiliated as he’s forced to play it at a sick pantomime of a celebration for the next one. Finally he abandons his
dreams of maintaining humanity in this understanding; he is broken and his violin breaks. Despite his earlier declarations, he is forced to survive, rather than to live. Solomon isn’t emptied, though. Stripped of his instrument, all he has left is his voice, which he hasn’t used to this point, but at the funeral of a man actually worked to death, he sings. And it’s heartbreaking. Captured in a single take set squarely on Chiwetel Ejiofor’s face, the transformation he undergoes is beautiful and sad and cathartic and, on a very simple level, true.
What struck the deepest chord with me, and what I think the film is all about, is the music.
Solomon’s story is tied to music, and Steve McQueen perfectly orchestrates the score around it. Of course violins are present, both in swelling orchestral movements and in solo pieces, but so are odd, almost industrial stabs and rhythmic pulses in moments calling for something less human. The most brutal, violent moments of the film are musicless. While Solomon hangs by the neck from a branch in an extended sequence, the only notes we hear are played by crickets. Building “12 Years a Slave” around sound like this wasn’t

Tennis serves up an ace on newest release
Small Sound Tennis By Allison Garcia The daily cardinal
It doesn’t get more adorable than the story of the starry-eyed lovers in the dynamic husband-and-wife duo Tennis. Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley met while studying philosophy in college. After eloping and going on a seven month sailing trip, the pair came back to form the always pleasant band, Tennis. Small Sound is the kind of album that will force a smile to spread from ear to ear. Whether it is through the sweet and loving lyrics or the way Moore’s comforting voice perfectly harmonizes with these uplifting songs, these songs simply bring on mounds of happiness. That’s the thing about Tennis. They don’t try to overcomplicate their music, they just try to brighten the day of their listeners. It must be said, however, it’s nearly
impossible to fail with a voce like Moore’s paving the way. The only way they could fall from favor is if they let their songwriting slip, which Small Sound screams will NEVER happen. “Timothy,” although not intended to highlight this album, clearly steals the spotlight in Small Sound. This song feels like a sunny day on a tropical island. The song combines touching lyrics (“Say something sweet to me/Say it slowly until you believe”), with a whimsical harmony of “Whoa-ohs” shimmering in the background. The first song on this album, “Mean Streets,” has a groove to it that forces the head to bob. Through the layers of sound there is an elegant yet relaxed feeling—flawlessly melding her sweet voice with simplistic background percussion. It was a great way to start off this marvelous album. Small Sound is only five songs in total, but worth every second of listening. This band has a sound that is far from small and filled with whimsy and joy. If you fall hard for Tennis after listening to this splendid album, be sure to catch them live in Madison Nov. 20.
Rating: A-
just a brilliant, effective narrative decision on McQueen’s part. It’s also a reinforcement and a demonstration of the film’s most basic themes, themes that are universal and human and run much deeper than a simple condemnation of slavery. While the story being told is a very American story, the messages underneath are not. It’s noteworthy that much of the cast is British, including director McQueen, and leading man Ejiofor is Nigerian. This isn’t a national story. It’s a human story. It’s a story about what really makes us human, no matter how

much “civilized” gloss we layer on top of it. Slavery is condemned, of course, but so is any system that allows for something like it to
happen. It’s unspecific, it’s basic, and it speaks to something in every person regardless of where they’re from or who they are. Which is why music is such a fundamental piece of “12 Years a Slave.” Music is a universal language. It’s the simplest expression of who we are, because it doesn’t need words, only feeling, which is why it’s so apt that themes of universality, of common humanity, should be spoken by it. You d o n ’ t need to k n o w w h a t Solomon is singing at that man’s funeral to know what he’s feeling. You’re feeling it too. Film’s ability to integrate this pure, root-level communication with images and stories is part of what lends the medium its power. It’s one of the most direct, most potent delivery systems we have for truth, about ourselves, others, all of us or whoever. And “12 Years a Slave” does all of this. Tragically and gorgeously. You should see it. Did this column strike a chord with you? Talk scores with Austin by shooting him an email at wellens@wisc.edu.

Hispanic man graduated from Princeton University and Harvard Law School with high honors. He clerked for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. He then became a litigator, where he gave nine oral arguments in front of the Supreme Court of the United States and had landmark victories in six of those nine cases. He has been described as one of the 50 best litigants in the country and “a key voice” Supreme Court Justices listen to. He was elected Solicitor General for his state and was victorious in taking his senate seat from a Republican incumbent. Who could this brilliant, and exceptional man be? Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas)? Yes really, that Ted Cruz.
The party that embraces Ted Cruz as the next Ronald Reagan is no party I can belong to.
On the winds of the Tea Party movement in 2010, Ted Cruz sailed into office as senator for the great state of Texas. Columnists like George Will praised Cruz, and for those moderates on the national stage, it finally appeared as though the right would finally have a counter to President Barack Obama. Sure, the Republicans have Gov. Chris Christie (R-New Jersey), and Gov. Scott Walker, but no one in Washington is truly Mr. Obama’s intellectual foe. This was a chance to counter him, and win not just an ideological argument, but an intellectual one as well. Wrong. Something happens when politicians go to Washington—they become shockingly stupid. It’s something incalculable about the beltway that causes politicians like Anthony Weiner to tweet nude pictures of himself, and for senseless congressmen and women to take ideological stances for no reason. Take the government shutdown, for example. For Cruz, this was an effort to take down Obamacare. This was the Republicans’ last stand! They could finally win, and repeal the thrice-validated healthcare law. To the surprise of everyone except for conservative political commentators Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, they lost. But the shutdown was much more than an ideological battle over something the two parties, and the American people were conflicted on, because the shutdown reaped no benefits for the GOP, and would have had relatively no effect on Obamacare. The little known fact is the funding for Obamacare was already allocated in mandatory spending, and there was absolutely nothing the GOP could do about that. But even as the shutdown is over, and sensible Republicans are admitting what utter nonsense spewed from Cruz’s mouth in his fake filibuster, some on the right think the shutdown “was run beautifully.” No surprise this was Ann Coulter who said this. This
is the giant problem that runs to the core of the GOP, on a national level, it is no longer a “big tent,” ideas and solutions based party, rather it is the party of obstruction and stupidity. Nothing exemplifies this better than the shutdown itself. Even now, the GOP derides the rollout of Obamacare as disastrous and needing to be fixed, but they’ve been pushing for its repeal since it was passed and signed by the president. Furthermore, how is anyone to take the GOP seriously when they want the destruction of the law, but then are angry when it doesn’t work? What world are these Republicans living in? I don’t understand. I am a Republican. I am tired of this nonsense. I am tired of Washington. The party of President Abraham Lincoln is now the party that is obstructing progress on healthcare, taxes, entitlements, military spending, and most meaningful of all, immigration. Wasn’t it just a few years ago when President George Bush went to Congress and asked for a bipartisan solution to fix America’s broken immigration system? Didn’t he also receive 44 percent of the Latino vote in 2004 as well? Maybe we should be listening to him, and embracing his immigration solutions rather than the tired, racist, theories of self-deportation from a presidential candidate that couldn’t garner more than 27 percent of the Latino vote. More and more on a national level, the GOP is becoming a party made up of old, rich, white men, and is moving so far right it is alienating conservative, solution-based moderates, like myself, Gov. Chris Christie, Gov. Jon Huntsman, Joe Scarborough, Peter King and so many others. But compare Republicans on a state level to the national misfits. Gov. Chris Christie, a conservative pragmatist won his recent reelection and is seen as the “hottest politician in the country.” Gov. Scott Walker led incredible reforms throughout Wisconsin, Gov. John Kasich is turning Ohio around, and bringing it back from the brink, Gov. Suzanna Martinez has brought sweeping reforms to New Mexico, and many other smart governors and legislators are working in a bipartisan manner to combat the problems facing their state, and to great success. However, on a national level, the GOP does nothing to negotiate, does nothing to pass laws, and the House GOP is on track to become the least productive in history. It’s time to kick these “Republicans” out of our party, and that begins at the state level. It’s time for redistricting that will bring fair elections to the citizens of individual states, forcing competitive general elections, rather than primaries, pushing the GOP and the Democrats to the middle, rather than to the far right and left. The party that embraces Ted Cruz as the next Ronald Reagan is no party I can belong to. Are you a Republican who is just as annoyed with Ted Cruz as Charley is? Or do you like Ted Cruz?

@dhookstead/twitter
This past tweet by David Hookstead is an example of how casual views about sexual violence perpetuate and validate rape culture in our society.
Recent ‘rape culture’ letter shows some still hold gross world views Andy holsteen opinion contributor
T
he Badger Herald’s recent letter to the editor “‘Rape culture’ does not exist” further proves the University of WisconsinMadison’s pre-eminent egoinflamed, aggressively misogynistic, notorious “semi celebrity” David Hookstead unsurprisingly doesn’t harbor the capacity to understand the concept “rape culture.” There has already been an onslaught of backlash in response to his column— appalled voices furiously speaking against what is clearly a gross rhetorical misrepresentation of the truth on a core level. All anger toward this abomination is totally warranted. But my response here is not intended to insult or belittle Hookstead as a person (social media can take care of that). All I’m going to do is explain why his claim is wrong. Had Hookstead done the absolute minimum in terms of researching rape culture (reading the first sentence of the “Rape culture,” according to Wikipedia page), he would have discovered his murky definition to be completely unfounded and incorrect. “Rape culture,” according to The Free Encyclopedia, “is a concept which links rape and sexual violence to the culture of society, and in which prevalent attitudes and practices normalize, excuse, tolerate, and even condone rape.” So if this isn’t a real thing, as Hookstead so vehemently believes, why did he find it necessary to share this on his personal Twitter account on Aug. 3, 2013? “Worst/ Funniest pick up line I’ve ever heard: ‘How do I know we’re having sex later tonight? I’m stronger than you.’” If making a joke out of something that has ruined countless lives isn’t the outright definition of rape cul-
ture, I’m not sure what is. So, maybe saying “rape culture doesn’t exist” wasn’t precisely Hookstead’s point, since he doesn’t understand its true meaning. I think what he was actually trying to say was that regurgitating and being insensitive toward archaic actions such as sexual assault doesn’t actually cause rape. This is why he makes the statement, “Anybody who’s ever watched the news knows that rape is illegal, and yet the above paints the picture that our society is failing to educate young men on rape. Secondly, it implies that education can prevent true acts of evil … Once again, you can’t always stop criminals.” To me, it seems pretty obvious that continually tolerating a certain behavior—in this case, one’s ability to trivialize rape and sexual assault—will only cause that habit to continue. So, whatever he was trying to say, it’s wrong.
Be angry we are allowing this person to speak for us as a student body. I know I am.
The terms privileged and ignorant have been thrown around before to describe Hookstead’s warped world views (which are unfortunately still being published in a college newspaper all too willing to generate website hits at the expense of the one in four college women who will be subjected to rape). I think this is why he finds it so difficult to identify as a part of rape culture, and also why he seems to think people don’t get worked up about topics such as drugs or murder in disenfranchised neighborhoods, which they most certainly do. He mentions how men are
also victims of rape and sexualassault. But instead of realizing this fact entirely deflates his thesis, Hookstead for some reason latches on to this fact as another reason to demonize women. He goes so far as to ask “Why aren’t we teaching our daughters not to rape?” David Hookstead is, simply, afraid of empowering the opposite sex, or even treating women with fairness, in any way. Every argument of his somehow has to come back to males being better than females. And I think that’s why he felt so compelled to write this monstrosity in the first place. Oh, and then there’s this quote: “A woman drugged a close friend of mine, who was a superstar athlete, so that she could assault him. There was little outrage, but you could imagine if a superstar athlete drugged a random woman and raped her? It’d be on the national news by morning.” Apparently someone hasn’t heard of Stuebenville, Ohio, where members of a football team were involved in a rape that didn’t receive national attention until a hacker leaked information found on social media about the case. The story was covered up by people in the town and the victim was intimidated by those around her. There is no basis to this claim. It’s disturbing someone would find it acceptable to submit or publish such a poorly thought-out article on such a sensitive subject. But I’m glad Hookstead wrote this column—I really am—because it serves a reminder to us all that there are people outside of our immediate circle of influence who believe truly horrendous and erroneous things. It should make you angry. Be angry we are allowing this person to speak for us as a student body. I know I am. Do you agree with Andy? What do you think of David Hookstead’s tweets?

There’s no place like home Badgers carry 6-3 record at the UW Fieldhouse into last home stretch of the season Friday By Olivia Pitzo The Daily Cardinal
The No. 16 Wisconsin volleyball team returns home this weekend to take on Nebraska and Iowa at the UW Fieldhouse. The Badgers (7-5 Big Ten, 18-6 overall) are currently tied for fourth in the conference. Friday night’s game against Nebraska features free admission for students, and those who attend will be entered into a drawing to win a pair of Dr. Dre’s Beats headphones. Wisconsin is coming off last Saturday’s narrow loss to Purdue, a team it swept in the
soccer from page 8 John Trask, Ohio State head coach John Bluem is coming to Wisconsin hoping to leave with a win, and the team has to be prepared for a competitive game. “For him, it’s about competing, and he doesn’t take days off,” Trask said. “He’s not coming here to give us a layup. It will be a very feisty, tough, typical Big Ten game probably settled by one goal and a couple plays.” However, the Badgers are improving game by game, according to senior forward Chris Prince, and the team has its eyes set on a very specific goal. “Every game we keep getting better and better as a team as a whole, passing, just understanding each other,” he said. “Our personal challenge is just getting that last home win, it’s our last home game of the season and to go perfect at home would be really awesome. I think it’s a big step in the right direction not only for our team but for the program.”
team’s Big Ten season debut. “It was a tough loss. It’s always hard when you’re two points away in the fifth set from winning,” freshman setter Lauren Carlini said. “Looking forward, we have to take it as a good loss I guess and learn from it. One thing we talked about is just using it as fuel.” The fuel will have to propel the Badgers in Friday’s match against Nebraska, who they lost to in a close 3-2 match earlier in the season. “Last time we played Nebraska, we went down there and lost a tough battle to them,” senior libero Annemarie Hickey said. “This team has gotten better since then, and we just really want to execute our game plan and really take another shot at this opportunity that we have.” With 18 wins thus far, and only eight regular season matches remaining, Wisconsin is guaranteed a winning season. “We don’t necessarily talk about wins and losses every day,” head coach Kelly Sheffield said.
“We talk a lot more about our effort and our prep work than we do wins and losses.” Carlini, who was recently named Big Ten Co-Freshman of the Week, says the challenge is going to be finding new ways to score on these teams in the upcoming matches. “They kind of know how we play and what our tendencies are,” Carlini said. “I think both teams are going to be really well prepared, and I think it’s going to be a battle.” This is Wisconsin’s last stretch of matches at home, beginning with Nebraska and ending with a match against Ohio State Nov. 17. Wisconsin has one of the toughest schedules in the Big Ten and, according to Sheffield, this has forced the team to step up their game. “We want to be a team that improves more than any other team in the conference,” Sheffield said. “We can’t control what other people are doing, but we can control what we’re doing.”
It’s this exact motivation and determination Trask is hoping will propel the team to victory Friday, especially for the 13 seniors on the team who will be celebrated on senior night. “They’re going to want to finish their careers and have a positive night, so I’m hoping they draw on that energy and focus because that’s what it’s going to take for us to have a positive result,” Trask said. While the team is hoping to accomplish a great deal with a final regular season win, from continuing its unbeaten home streak to improving its standing before tournament seeding, for Trask it’s the seniors that will be the most important come Friday night. “There’s never been a group that I’ve been around that I would rather see realize their true potential and find their day in the sun as they matriculate out of this great university. That they get rewarded for their hard work, that’s probably the biggest thing from my end.”

UW exits Big Ten tournament in first round By Chris Bates The Daily Cardinal
The sixth-seeded Wisconsin women’s soccer team’s (5-5-1 Big Ten, 10-6-2 overall) season came to an end Wednesday in a 2-0 loss to third seeded Penn State (7-4-0, 14-5-1) during the opening round of the Big Ten Tournament in Champaign, Ill. The postseason appearance was their fifth straight, but the Badgers could not weather the early Penn State storm. The Nittany Lions jumped out to a quick start on a blustery, frigid afternoon. Their first goal of the game came in the 11th minute off a cross into the box by
redshirt midfielder Emily Hurd and was finished off by senior forward Taylor Schram. A second goal just 11 minutes later by Penn State redshirt senior forward Tani Costa would put the Badgers in a hole they could not escape over the remaining 68 minutes. The Badgers perked up after halftime, tallying six shots in the first 15 minutes of action alone. Sophomore forward Lindsey Holmes and freshman defender Kylie Schwarz had the best looks, but were unable to beat the keeper, who corralled her first two saves of the game without trouble. Wisconsin continued to con-
trol the game, but the Nittany Lions defense was able to hold on and record its second consecutive shutout. The win advances the Nittany Lions to the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament, while the Badgers’ loss marks the first time the Badgers have lost by more than one goal in 2013. Freshman midfielder Rose Lavelle led the team in shots Wednesday, helping her earn Big Ten freshman of the year and first-team All-Big Ten honors. Wisconsin will await the Nov. 9 NCAA tournament selection show to see if it earns its second consecutive trip.
Freshman earns first team All-Big Ten honors Playing as a true freshman, especially at a Division I school, is an accomplishment in and of itself. Starting in a game is icing on the cake. But making first team all conference? For forward Rose Lavelle, it’s just one more honor to add to her already long and illustrious soccer resume. She joins sophomore midfielder Kinley McNioll, a secondteam selection, on the All-Big Ten Team. Freshman defenseman Kylie Schwarz was also named to the All-Freshman Team. Lavelle started every game during her freshman campaign as a Badger—17 games total. Over that span she amassed 19 points, Nithin Charlly/cardinal file photo also earning her the title of Big Ten Freshman of the Year.

BYU’s Taysom ANYWAY YOU SLICE IT, Hill to test JSM PROPERTIES HAS THE APARTMENT FOR YOU! secondary By Adee Feiner The Daily Cardinal
After a defensive battle in Iowa that led the Badgers to capture the Heartland trophy, Wisconsin (4-1 Big 10, 6-2 overall) will need to mimic its performance this week as it welcomes BYU to Camp Randall Saturday. This is the first match-up between the two teams since 1980. Brigham Young University (6-2), an independent team not belonging to any conference, boasts the same record as the Badgers, and sophomore quarterback Taysom Hill will pose one of the most challenging tests for Wisconsin this season. The Pocatella, Idaho, native has thrown for 2,019 yards and run for 841, putting him tantalizingly close to becoming just the 22nd player in college football history to throw for 2,000 yards and run for 1,000. “He’s physical and he’s fast,” defensive coordinator Dave Aranda said. “When he turns the corner he’s gone … what’s most infuriating is that on third-andfour, you’ve got them for a loss and he gets five yards. That’s a huge part of [BYU’s] game.” If you would have asked Cougar head coach Bronco Mendenhall whether his quarterback would be garnering national recognition heading into week 11 of the college football season, the answer might not have been so optimistic. In the first three games of the season Hill completed just 35 percent of his passes, culminating in a 20-13 loss at home against in-state rival Utah. Since then he has flipped the switch, completing 65 percent of his passes and running well enough to be No. 20 nationally in rushing yards alone this season. The Cougars employ a hightempo offensive strategy similar to Arizona State that plays perfectly to Hill’s skill set.
“[The pace] either breaks us down or it brings us together,” Aranda said. “If you’re not communicating, if you’re not on the same page, it’s tough to operate.”
“Growing up as a kid I knew I was going to be shorter than a lot of people, so I’ve kind of played this whole thing with no fear.” Sojourn Shelton freshman cornerback Wisconsin football
BYU’s leading wide receiver, senior Cody Hoffman, also measures in at 6 feet five inches tall— a full eight inches taller than true freshman cornerback Sojourn Shelton. This isn’t the first, nor will it be the last time Shelton matches up against a taller opponent. “This is what I live for,” he said. “Growing up as a kid I knew I was going to be shorter than a lot of people, so I’ve kind of played this whole thing with no fear. I don’t care if you’re LeBron sized, you’ve got to go get it all the same.” The Badgers received another gift of sorts this week, as redshirt senior linebacker Chris Borland will return to the field against BYU after sustaining a hamstring injury against Illinois Oct. 19. Stepping in for Borland last week against Iowa was redshirt junior Marcus Trotter, who recorded nine tackles and forced an interception pass in the fourth quarter. “[Borland] causes so much havoc in the middle,” Shelton said. “There’s something about him. He creates fear in other players, where they tend to hold the ball a little longer, things like that. It helps us out in the secondary.”
Men’s Soccer
Final regular season game looms for UW By Louisa Lincoln The Daily Cardinal
Following a big shutout win on the road at No. 25 Northwestern (1-3-1 Big Ten, 9-5-3 overall), the Wisconsin men’s soccer team (3-2-0, 12-3-2) is now looking forward to its last game of the regular season, another conference matchup against Ohio State (1-22, 5-6-5) at the McClimon Soccer Complex Friday. The team, which is currently ranked No. 16 in the NCAA standings, has gone unbeaten in eight of its last nine games, and is hoping to take the momentum from Northwestern into their final game before the Big Ten Tournament. “I think we can take a lot of confidence going into Friday,”
senior forward Nick Janus said. “We played very strong against a really good team and that’s a hard place to play at so I think coming home and playing OSU we should have a lot of confidence.” Although the team is confident going into the Ohio State matchup, they know it won’t be an easy battle, especially after the Buckeyes’ upset defeat of No. 9 Penn State (7-1-1, 11-4-1) in double overtime last Saturday. “They’re a proud team and a proud program,” Janus said. “They’re not going to want to be last in the Big Ten so they’re going to come out with some pride and it’s going to be a tough game.” According to head coach
