Ethnic studies requirement under review Story by Martha Morganstein In light of recent racially charged hate and bias incidents at UW-Madison, the ethnic studies requirement has come under review this semester to ensure all of its courses are aligned with the learning outcomes of the university.

Improving campus climate has become a central goal of the subcommittee that will evaluate the courses; UW-Madison continues to garner national attention from last semester’s campus activism termed #TheRealUW, anti-Semitic messages found in the dorms in September and the more recent controversial costume at the Oct. 29 football game.

“These incidents definitely give all ethnic studies instructors a sense of urgency,” said Cindy Cheng, an associate professor in UW-Madison’s

Department of History and chair of the ethnic studies subcommittee.

“They also show the value of these types of classes for students.”

Cheng explained that the primary purpose of the courses under the ethnic studies requirement is to understand race relations.

“We challenge students to embrace one’s differences, but strive to lessen the inequalities based on those differences,” she said.

The last time the ethnic studies requirement was revised was more than a decade ago, in 2003, according to Elaine Klein, the university general education director and an associate dean in the College of Letters & Science.

Klein said she hopes ethnic studies courses will encourage more collaborative problem-solving skills, especially in regard to addressing topics of race.

“It gives students a safe space to learn from each other as well as from the instructor,” Klein said. “It is better that students can talk and ask

questions about these tough issues in a structured environment as opposed to on the internet.”

Jaylen Windham, a student who was active in #TheRealUW movement, explained that though topical problem-solving might be a goal of these courses, it is not a reality.

“Sometimes with these classes it seems like they are just trying to make students feel comfortable instead of acknowledging that racism is a real issue today,” she said.

Learning outcomes address topics of race In 2010, at the request of the provost, representatives of the 29 different departments comprising the requirement formed the subcommittee. Together they decided upon the learning outcomes that all of the ethnic studies courses are required to meet.

Clinton, Trump make their cases for improving college affordability

College affordability has become a hot-button issue this campaign, with both candidates spending more time talking about reducing rising student debt loads and tuition rates than President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney did four years ago.

ASM leaders condemn UW response to offensive costume

By Nina Bertelsen THE DAILY CARDINAL

Associated Students of Madison leaders condemned the university’s response to the costume of Obama and a noose that appeared at Camp Randall on Halloween and has angered many in the community.

Goséy said that, contrary to the university’s first response letter,

the costume was not free speech.

At the Student Council meeting Wednesday, Goséy said she refused to add discussion about a campus-wide diversity statement to the body’s agenda until Patrick Sims, vice provost for diversity and climate and chief diversity officer, spoke out against the inci-

“states that are willing to work with us to increase their contributions are going to be rewarded by the program...”

Hillary Clinton presidential candidate

Part of that attention is due to the rise of Bernie Sanders’ campaign during the Democratic primary. Sanders’

audacious plan for free college, paid for in part by closing corporate tax loopholes, captured the enthusiasm of young voters nationwide.

Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have unveiled detailed, if less bold, proposals to combat the rising cost of higher education.

Clinton’s plan is centered around some of Sanders’ key policies. The most significant portion is a proposal to eliminate tuition at public colleges and universities for families making under $125,000 a year. The campaign said that this would cover 80 percent of Wisconsin households.

The free tuition model would privilege states that provide a high level of funding for their universities in an effort to combat declining state support for their public colleges. It is unclear what that would mean for a state such as Wisconsin,

which slashed $250 million from the UW System in the most recent biennium budget.

“Stduents should not be asked to pay more on the debt than they can afford.”

Donald Trump presidential candidate

“This is a partnership,” Clinton said at a rally in Durham, N.H., last month. “We are setting this up to work with the states and make it clear … that states that are willing to work with us to increase their contributions are going to be rewarded by the program, and states that are not, we think,

Woman sexually assaulted after meeting man at Wando’s A 26-year-old woman was sexually assaulted after meeting a man at Wando’s on University Avenue and accompanying him back to his apartment.

The suspect and victim were previously unknown to each other,

according to a Madison Police Department incident report.

The suspect reportedly assaulted the victim at his apartment before she was able to leave, according to the report.

The suspect is “Male Indian

or Hispanic, approx 24 yoa, 5’7”, average build, long black hair, wearing black turban,” according to the report.

No weapons were used during the assault, and the incident is still under investigation.

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

County considers jail diversion program

By Téalin Robinson THE DAILY CARDINAL

The Dane County Board of Supervisors announced one of its primary budget considerations for a jail diversion program Friday, in which low-level offenders to serve their time by rebuilding their community rather than in jail.

Of the several initiatives being considered, two include refining the traditional criminal justice system. One major proposal is to broaden the Community Restorative Court to the rest of Dane County due to its success in South Madison.

The program is intended to keep those age 17 to 25, who have committed low level offenses, out of the criminal justice system and out of public records. Sponsored by Supervisor Sheila Stubbs, this $61,000 amendment hopes to reduce major damages to the community and the offenders’ futures, by bringing the participants and victims together.

The Circuit Court judges proposed a different initiative of $75,000 to expand efforts to have offenders participate in commu-

Number of state early votes cast breaks previous record

By Ningyuan Ma THE DAILY CARDINAL

Wisconsin set the state record Friday for the number of votes cast before Election Day, with the number still expected to grow.

More than 775,000 early votes, or 96 percent of the total early votes sent, have been received by election officials so far. This exceeds the total number of early votes in 2012 by nearly 111,000 and total early votes in 2008 by over 128,000, according to the state Elections Commission statistics.

The vast majority of early voters cast their ballots in person, followed by those who sent early votes in by mail.

Early voting has been consistently popular among Wisconsin voters. The unprecedented early voting numbers this year have been driven by a surge of voters especially in Dane County, a his-

torically Democratic stronghold, and Fox Valley, where the congressional race was heated.

The number of early votes in another Democratic stronghold, Milwaukee County, set a new record as well, although not as large as that of Dane County.

Green Bay and Appleton have also seen large increases in early voting turnout.

Wisconsin’s traditionally ultra-conservative “WOW” counties, Waukesha, Ozaukee and Washington, also had notable turnout in terms of early voting, exceeding the total early voting number of both 2012 and 2008.

With early voting turnout large in Democratic counties, Republican candidates in statewide elections will potentially face trouble Nov. 8., although the number of ballots received on Election Day typically outweighs the number of early votes.

Other amendments to the budget include funding child protective services to work with minors and expanding the

costume from page 1 dent and condemned the university’s first response to it.

“It clearly was hate speech. Not acceptable. Chief Diversity Officer, where are you?” Goséy said. “How can we pass a diversity statement when you’re not speaking out against this issue?”

The statement is an initiative from Sims’ office that would institutionalize diversity as one of the school’s guiding principles. Each of UW-Madison’s shared governance groups aside from ASM has approved it.

“It clearly was hate speech. Not acceptable.”

Carmen Goséy chair Associated Students of Madison

After receiving the university’s first statement on the issue, Goséy sent an email requesting a meeting with Barry Alvarez, head of UW Athletics, to discuss how the situation was handled. Goséy, ASM Vice Chair Mariam Coker and Student Activity Center Governing Board Chair Katrina Morrison met with Alvarez, community leaders, a lawyer and others Wednesday morning.

Coker said the meeting was frustrating.

“They are talking about this in the realm of the First Amendment ... We were dancing around the issues,” she said.

“The issue is cultural humility and cultural competency.”

Coker said she was frustrated that this costume was even allowed into the stadium, and is increasingly frustrated that a noose was not seen as a

Urban Water Quality grant program. All are currently being reviewed by the budget-writing Personnel & Finance Committee.

The final recommended proposals, operating on a budget of about $585 million, will be considered at the meeting Nov. 14. weapon by officials.

“Only certain populations see nooses as weapons,” Coker explained. “That could have incited something. The fact they didn’t think that could have incited something is an issue.”

At the meeting with Alvarez, ASM representatives called for broader definitions of what constitutes a threat or an act of terrorism, an apology and for Alvarez and his “white peers” to go through cultural humility training.

“We should want better for our black community,” Goséy said.

UW-Madison spokesperson Meredith McGlone said that Sims spoke “at length” about the issue during Tuesday’s university diversity forum. Additionally, she said Alvarez and Chancellor Rebecca Blank have begun a policy review that will be in effect for the next football game Nov. 12.

The incident also spurred a number of posters left anonymously around campus reading, “A man was lynched at UW yesterday & guess what they called it.” McGlone said the university is aware of the posters but does not have an institutional position on them.

ASM released a letter Friday morning to Blank signed by Goséy, Coker, Morrison and Ali Khan, chair of ASM’s Equity and Inclusion Committee, expressing their disappointment in the university’s action on this and other issues related to diversity and inclusion. “Black students’ safety has been on the back-burner of this institution’s concern,” the letter said. “The university not acting upon such happenings breeds a hostile climate where all stakeholders of UW are affected.”

affordability from page 1 will be under political pressure to do that.”

There are difficulties, however, in providing free tuition for a majority of American families.

How best to subsidize the tuition is a central question, allowing students in states with varying tuition prices to get similar levels of support. One way to do so would be to subsidize tuition per student, much like Medicaid or many other federal education programs.

But states do not have to participate in these programs if they don’t want to or believe the cost is too high. States like Wisconsin who have been reluctant to expand Medicaid could simply decide not to buy in on free college as well.

Free college at public universities could also harm their private peers.

“Many private institutions would likely be forced to become more elitist and less diverse as their dependence on students that could pay full tuition becomes even greater as price-sensitive students shift to public competitors,” a report from Georgetown University on

“Given the increasing risk to students in terms of loans ... we have to grapple with up-front costs.”

Amy Laitinen director for higher education The New America Foundation

Clinton’s proposal said.

Trump has blasted Clinton’s proposal as being loaded with “unintended consequences.” He unveiled his own plan at a rally in Columbus last month.

“Students should not be asked to pay more on the debt than they can afford,” Trump said.

“And the debt should not be an albatross around their necks for the rest of their lives.”

His plan would cap loan repayment at 12.5 percent of a person’s income and forgive any remaining debt after 15 years.

He also called on colleges to trim fat, arguing there “aren’t enough incentives” to reduce spending on facilities and executive pay of presidents or chancellors. Trump implied that he would revisit the tax-exempt status of institutions that don’t adequately cut expenses.

But experts say Trump’s plan is not perfect and does not address rising tuition rates across the country.

“Given the increasing risk to students in terms of loans and to taxpayers in terms of loan forgiveness, we have to grapple with up-front costs,” Amy Laitinen, director for higher education at the New America Foundation, told the Washington Post, “which means looking at the role of states and the need for incentives to deal with both cost and quality.”

Regardless of who wins the White House, student debt relief figures to remain a key issue throughout the next four years.

“It is very, very hard for young people,” Trump said in his speech. “It is probably the question I get more than any other question, outside of defense.”

Comedian Anders Holm delivers first “RED Talk”

Republican state Rep. Todd Novak is running on his bipartisan voting record against Democratic challenger Jeff Wright. Novak won a three-way race in 2014 by a mere 65 votes.

Novak fights challenge from Wright in state assembly race

By Andrew Bahl THE DAILY CARDINAL

Each week, The Daily Cardinal will be taking a look at down-ballot races throughout the state. This week, we visit the 51st Assembly District in southwestern Wisconsin, where incumbent Todd Novak and educator Jeff Wright face off.

If you look at State Rep. Todd Novak’s campaign website, you would be hard-pressed to identify what party he supports, as it makes no mention of his Republican status.

The Dodgeville mayor has attempted to position himself as an independent voice representing the 51st Assembly District, which includes the towns of Monroe, Mineral Point and Spring Green.

“I’m pretty much all over the place [in terms of voting record],” Novak told WisconsinEye. “I vote my district. I’ve got one of the most bipartisan voting records and people like that.”

But Novak’s opponent, Democrat Jeff Wright of Plain, said Novak has been a “teammate” of Gov. Scott Walker and Republican legislative leaders.

While Novak voted against last session’s biennial budget, Wright cited his support of bills increasing voucher funding and altering the state’s campaign finance system. “[Novak] has a strategy, a decision to make him seem partyless, but he has voted 96 percent with Walker and his agenda,” Wright told The Daily Cardinal.

The district is one that should lean Democrat, since President Barack Obama won the area by 20 points in 2012. But Republicans have managed to keep a grip on the district, with Novak winning by a mere 65 votes in a threecandidate 2014 election.

Wright, the Assistant Superintendent for the Sauk Prairie School District, said repairing public schools in the district is a key issue. Calling Novak a “voucher champion,”

Wright said he would push to “make schools more innovative” and “match community needs.”

Novak and Wright both agree more needs to be done to fight a decline in state support for rural schools, like those in the 51st Assembly District.

“I just think that public school funding … we need to look at more options that are more localized,” Novak said.

“We’ve become a rural versus urban divide on schools. And I think we need to shift more money to the rural schools to ease the pain.”

In a year where outsider candidates up and down the ballot have found success, Wright said he has gotten support from members of his district who are upset with increasingly conservative Republicans.

“I’ve heard from people that are pleased that I’m a newcomer to bring change to state government, “ Wright said. “We need to push back against one-party rule in Wisconsin.”

requirement from page 1 included emphasizing history’s impact on the present, encouraging students to recognize and question assumptions and building students’ awareness of themselves in relation to others, as well as stimulating participation in a multicultural society.

Both Klein and Cheng agreed that these learning goals are the best guidelines to ensure that the curriculums are inclusive and the best way to address the topic of race.

In Cheng’s course, Asian American History: Processes of Movement and Dislocation, she emphasizes the awareness of the impact of history on the present, one of the learning goals.

“We are trying to retell U.S. history from a different perspective,” she said.

UW professor Cindy Cheng discussed why ethnic studies matter. better fit the learning outcomes.

“The class will now give more of a sense of history from a range of different perspectives in order to better understand race and multicultural societies,” Yu explained.

Cheng said she wants to ensure that within these courses, marginalized groups who have been underrepresented in the retellings of his-

tory are now “central characters.”

“Students of color do not see their backgrounds reflected in curriculums or textbooks,” she said. “We want them to know that they are a part of history and that their experiences matter.”

UW-Madison sophomore Brittany Fremder said the ethnic studies course she took, which

Comedy Central’s Anders Holm visited his alma mater Saturday to answer questions for students about his time at UW-Madison and the success he has had since graduating in 2003.

The “RED Talk” event, which was led by Vice President of UW-Madison Homecoming Committee Natalie Ahern in Mills Concert Hall, was the first of its kind at UW-Madison.

It was modeled after the scholarly “TED Talks” and was formatted as a question-and-answer session.

Holm used humor he is best known for to recall the stress of finals and the adventures of being a student athlete as an undergraduate.

Centered around his theme to “Keep It Real,” Holm opened up about the reality of sometimes failing and not fitting the image of what most teachers would consider the ideal student.

Holm said that being a Badger influenced his life after graduating and moving to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of becoming a writer.

“The times I had here were character building and friends here are friends for life,” Holm said. “It’s a great place and it’s easy to brag about.”

When asked what stu-

dents should do to have the full UW-Madison experience before graduating, Holm said having oneon-one conversations with professors is an opportunity to grow.

“Just find out, ‘Who are you?

What do you do besides talk in front of us and teach us stuff?’” Holm said.

“You might be surprised how interesting they are, because if they’re working here at this school and this school is the ‘the jam’ they are probably ‘the jam’ also.”

Because questions were chosen prior to the interview, the event ended with a 20-minute questionand-answer from the audience.

The Homecoming Committee was excited to host Holm at their kickoff event for the university’s Homecoming Week.

Sophomore and member of the Marketing Committee for Homecoming Annie Staskunas said she got involved with the organization because it gives back to the school directly.

“The biggest thing about Homecoming is students and alumni coming to events,” Staskunas said.

“Being excited about this doesn’t mean anything if people don’t show up, so it was awesome to see students come tonight and it was great we got to secure Anders Holm.”

Anders Holm, a UW-Madison alumnus who stars in ‘Workaholics’ poses with members of UW-Madison’s Homecoming Committee. focused on American Indian immigration, allowed her to consider these different perspectives that Cheng mentioned.

“It helped me understand the underlying issues in societies and see why people feel the way they do about racial issues,” she said.

But Windham questioned whether ethnic students courses would have such an effect on all students.

She said that many students fail to accept the facts presented to them in these classes.

“People will be stuck in their own ways,” she said. “When shown statistics, they call the numbers biased instead of acknowledging the real problems.”

Immediate, long-term goals for success Klein explained that a long-term goal of the subcommittee is to fit more courses under ethnic studies.

“It will hopefully promote positive attitude change for students,” Klein explained. “They will be able

to take classes they care about while still getting the requirement done.”

Cheng said that while the primary goal of the committee is to improve campus climate, eventually she hopes this long-term goal will be achieved as well.

“There is definitely lots of advocacy to see such changes, but it will require hiring more faculty who have expertise in ethnic studies, which means more funding,” she said.

Unlike the other general education requirements at UW-Madison, students cannot test out of ethnic studies. Since there aren’t standardized tests to demonstrate students’ understanding of ethnic studies, Klein explained that these courses also give students necessary tools to understand more complex topics.

“We need to change the narrative. Students need to stop looking at the requirement as checking a box and more as building a tool kit,” she said. “These courses are designed to create better scholars and citizens in order for them to live more fulfilling lives.”

Students respond to meningitis on campus

By Julie Spitzer the daily Cardinal

Sore arms and talks of a deadly infection flooded the campus last week, a result of students swarming the Southeast Recreational Facility to receive the first of two free meningococcal B vaccines offered by the university’s health services after three UW-Madison students fell ill this past month.

Roughly 20,400 vaccines had been distributed with the help of nursing students, pharmacy students and other Dane County public health officials over the three week period spanning from Oct. 20 until Nov. 2.

“We really want to thank the campus wide community for all of these vaccination clinics, we really could not have done it without them. At this point, I think students can probably best protect themselves by both getting the vaccine as well as practising good respiratory hygiene behaviors,” Dr. William Kinsey, medical services director of UW-Madison’s University Health Services, said.

All undergraduate students through age 25 were encouraged to get the vaccine, having been identified as the at-risk population, according to Kinsey.

Meningococcal disease is caused by a bacteria, Neisseria meningitidis, that many people carry in their nasal passages, explained the Executive Director of UHS Dr. Sarah Van Orman, MD. In fact, 20 to 30 percent of people carry this bacteria in their nose at all times without contracting any disease, Van Orman explained.

“There’s all this meningococcal bacteria around us all the time, but what we think what happens is you get a particular bacteria that’s more valiant, so more likely to cause invasive disease, so we sort of have a bacteria thats a bad actor in our community. So not all meningococcal bacteria are sort of equal in their ability to cause disease,” Van Orman said.

There are at least 12 serogroups of this bacteria but only five are known to cause most meningococcal disease, more commonly known as meningitis, an infection of the lining of the brain and spinal cord.

This past October, three UW-Madison students contracted meningitis serogroup B. Two of the three students lived in two different on-campus residence halls, and the other student lived off-campus. While two students have been discharged from the hospital, the other remains. Their names have not yet been released.

When a case of meningitis hits campus, UHS works with the Center for Disease Control to conduct as epidemiological investigation in order to provide preventative antibiotics for any individuals the infected stu-

dent came in close contact with.

Results of the investigation can also show whether or not there is a genetic link between cases.

The CDC couldn’t find any connection between the first two cases, meaning they weren’t in any of the same clubs, organizations or groups; they didn’t have any known interactions.

However, through whole gene sequencing, a genetic connection was found. According to Van Orman, the bacteria in the first two cases were identical.

Julie spitzer/the daily cardinal

From Oct. 20 unti Nov. 2, UW-Madison’s University Health Services vaccinated roughly 20,400 students for meningitis B at the Southeast Recreational Facility with the help of student volunteers.

“We have people who, they don’t know how they’re connected to each other, but there’s a genetically identical bacteria that’s circulating in the population. So that’s why this is a really unique situation and so much more serious than if we just had a single case,” Van Orman said.

While carrying the bacteria and passing it around may not necessarily lead to an outbreak, Van Orman explained that in a community of students where sharing items that frequently touch the mouth is common, it doesn’t take much for a bacteria to become invasive in a person.

Side effects of meningitis includ high fever, severe headache, moderate to severe neck stiffness, muscle aches, confusion and possible vomiting or rash, according to UHS. Neck stiffness is caused by inflammation of the protective covering of the brain, or the meningi, and the protective covering of the spinal cord, Kinsey explained.

Meningitis B has a 10 to 15 percent mortality rate and a 15 percent chance of serious complications such as hearing loss, amputation or cognitive deficit.

According to Kinsey, the two students discharged appear to be recovering well, however due to confidentiality, Kinsey could not comment on the third, still hospitalized, student.

The meningitis B, or serogroup B meningococcal, vaccine requires two doses, 30 days apart. The first dose of the vaccine, however, only provides 60 percent immunization. With the second vaccine, individuals are covered up to 80 percent.

Nursing student and clinic volunteer Rachel Merkel stressed the importance of returning for that second vaccination.

“Just because you have the shot doesn’t mean you can’t get the sickness,” Merkel said. She ensured each of her patients were aware to not share drinks, to cover their coughs and that they were still taking preventative precautions.

UHS is urging students to practice good hygiene and not share anything that comes into contact with the mouth. Because meningitis is spread through oral or nasal secretions, they recommend students cover coughs and sneezes, dispose of tissues properly and wash hands frequently.

Merkel added that the shot’s unpopular side effects are a positive thing. According to Merkel, the uncomfortable arm soreness or fever-and-chills responses some experience mean the body is fighting off the sickness.

The meningitis B vaccine, unlike other virus vaccines which contain a portion of the disease material itself, is actually a protein contained on the coat of the disease. This technique, Van Orman explained, is common in bacterial vaccines. The vaccine works by triggering protective antibodies against proteins that were found on the coat of the meningitis b bacteria. If the bacteria were to enter the bloodstream, the antibodies are already present and ready to fight, Van Orman reiterated.

“The shot is going to hurt and the side effects are tough to deal with but at the same time, you’d much rather have the side effects of this shot than this sickness,” Merkel said.

Nursing students either had to have demonstrated prior prior vaccination experience in order to volunteer or the clinic was part of the program’s clinical training. Pharmacy students also helped out at the clinic as part of their volunteer hours, according to Kinsey, and doctors were available to provide clarification or answer any questions.

UHS will still offer vaccines for students who were unable to make the clinic.

Walk-in vaccination clinics begin Monday Nov. 7 and run through Friday Nov. 18 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the sixth floor of UHS. Read the full article online at www.daily cardinal.com

Dear Ms. Scientist, What is herd immunity?

Don T. Herd immunity occurs in populations when individuals who are not immune to a disease are protected because enough people in the population are immune to that disease. In today’s society, the most common form of creating an immunity against a disease is through vaccination. Herd immunity occurs when enough people in a society are vaccinated against a disease, and the disease is essentially unable to spread. The people who are unable to get the vaccine, often for serious medical reasons, will benefit from everyone else receiving the vaccine. They are “herd immune.” When immunization or vaccination rates fall below a certain threshold, these individuals no longer experience herd immunity and are vulnerable to the disease. Imagine, for example, that 100 people are standing in an area where it is raining. If 90 people use umbrellas, there is a pretty good chance the last ten not using umbrellas will experience herd immunity and stay dry. However, if only 50 people use umbrellas, the chance of the other 50 people getting wet increases.

Dear Ms. Scientist, Why do I cry when I laugh?

Hillary C. You’re supposed to laugh when you’re happy and cry when you’re sad, right? Cry-laughing is in that strange in between moment when you laugh so hard that you start crying. There are a few explanations for this weird phenomenon. Some scientists think that because crying and laughing are both responses to high emotional arousal (like being happy or sad), our bodies don’t always distinguish between the particular emotions we’re feeling.

As a result, sometimes our bodies can make us cry and laugh at the same time, because all it recognizes is that you’re feeling emotionally aroused, regardless of whether that emotion is sad or happy. Another explanation is that the same parts of our brain control crying and laughing. In addition, some scientists theorize that when you laugh, you put pressure on your tear ducts, which causes the tears to come out as a reflexive response.

How to be an oreo

By Ayomide Awosika

First, try to scrub your skin of the darkness, the tar, that seems to have soaked itself into your pores. You’re young, but have realized that all the kids at school treat you differently. They’ve called you dirty, black. There must be something wrong with you, because your teachers have never told them to stop.

Scrub until it hurts, then continue until tears start to stream down your face.

Your cries will call your mother’s attention to the bathroom as she tries to calm you.

“There’s nothing wrong with you, honey,” she’ll say.

Don’t believe her. You don’t belong. Remember that no one in the neighborhood ever wants to play with you and your brother is too young to realize why. Every time you try, their parents will call them inside. When you turn seven, a new kid, Johnny, will move into the neighborhood. You’ll invite him to your birthday party and he’ll promise to come.

Spend the rest of the day playing in your yard with him. You play until the sun begins to set, the orange hues edge closer to red.

Your mother will call you in for dinner. She’ll be happy you finally made a friend. The following day the neighborhood kids will make fun of him.

They’ll say, “Johnny, don’t play with the African booty scratcher! You might get tar on you!”

“Remember that no one in the neighborhood ever wants to play with you.”

“Don’t mess with him,” Johnny’ll say. “He’s my n----r!”

This will be the first time you’ve heard the word “n----r.” Everyone has a first time hearing it, do not think for a second that it will be your last.

You won’t know what it means, but for some reason it’ll hurt.

Push Johnny away in your confusion and watch as he slowly joins the group, feeling betrayed. Don’t let lumps begin to form in your throat as they begin to sing in a circle around you.

Their fingers will point at you as they sing “African booty scratcher” repeatedly. Your vision will begin to blur as tears build themselves in your eyes. They’ll start laughing at you as you sprint to your front door and lock it behind you. Pay no mind to your brother as he stands staring out the window with a puzzled look on his face. At din-

ner he’ll ask your parents what a n----r is. Say nothing when your parents look baffled. Later that night you’ll hear them fighting about whether to move.

“This place is toxic!”

Your mother will say over and over.

In middle school, your father will lose his job and you’ll be forced to move into southside Chicago and go to a public school. It’ll be different than what you’re used to. The pavement will be cracked and uneven.

The paint on the houses chipped. Your yard will be overgrown with grass and you’ll see more wire fences than ever before. Everyone will look like you, but they’ll speak so differently.

Their broken English and loud nature will scare you.

In school, you’ll overhear some of the girls gossip about some of the boys.

Think about the beauty she sees within her own skin. Then think about why you do not love your own.

“Oh my god, Treyvon is so irra,” you’ll hear one of them say.

“Fam, don’t talk about my n---a like that,” one of the boys in your class will retort.

Try to not panic when you hear the word “n---a.”

Your heart will start to race and sweat will build in your palms. Don’t flashback to that night in the suburbs. Don’t let the tears well up in your eyes. Take deep breaths as a commotion erupts around you. If the tears well up, excuse yourself to the bathroom. No one needs to see you cry.

A fight will break out and everyone in the next class will ask you how it started and who won.

Tell them you don’t know.

Speak proper English and don’t hang out with the kids in your neighborhood and your school. You’re better than that.

Everywhere you go, wear headphones. You don’t want to hear their music even though the heavy bass makes you want to move your head and dance along.

Immerse yourself in rock, classical and country. This is good music. If anyone tries to tell you otherwise, don’t believe them. They don’t have taste. Don’t listen to the radio. The music there was never meant to be good, only catchy. Attempt to convince your brother your taste in music is good.

He won’t listen. Instead, he’ll play you some of his favorite songs in order to prove that he has good

taste. Don’t tell him you like it. Instead try to close out the sounds that whisper to your soul.

If your brother starts to make friends in the neighborhood, speak to him less.

You’ll start to feel alone; this is normal. Remember, he isn’t worth your time, nor your words. Instead immerse yourself in your music further. Drown your thoughts in the room you share with your brother as the world shuts down around you. Most importantly, remember that the culture he’s embracing is nothing you want to be affiliated with.

Your parents will start to worry that you have no friends in the neighborhood, but for months they won’t say anything. Maybe you need time to adjust, after all, your brother seems to be getting along well with everyone. As the months pass, you will begin to feel more and more alone. Force yourself to make friends. Start talking to the Latino kids, then the white kids in your school. Ignore the fact that they speak like everyone else. Their skin is not cursed with blackness, tainted with tar. That’s a good a reason as any to talk to them.

One day ask them, “Why are you friends with me and not the other black kids?”

One of them will respond, “Isn’t it obvious to you? Cause you’re an oreo!

You’re not really black.”

Take comfort in the fact that they talk to you because you’re not like the other black kids. You’re not black on the inside and that’s what matters. Don’t listen when your parents try to tell you to play with the neighborhood kids.

Lock yourself in your room.

Almost a year and you will still have no friends in your neighborhood. They’ll never understand you don’t belong here. You deserve better than this.

Allow the rhythms and lyrics to shake you to your very core as they tell the tales of streets similar to the one you live on.

Slip up your sophomore year in high school. You’ll forget your earphones in your locker. On your walk home, your neighbors will be listening to “Complexion” by Kendrick Lamar on their porch. If you forgot your spare headphones, try to walk past as quickly as possible and ignore the music. You’ll fail and get hypnotized by the words. Listen to Rapsody’s verse as she speaks about how much she loves her

blackness. Think about the beauty she sees within her own skin. Then think about why you do not love your own. When you get home look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are beautiful. You won’t believe it. Not yet.

One day ask them, “Why are you friends with me and not the other black kids?”

Realize that for years you’ve led yourself to believe that this genre of struggle, pain, and love has been cultureless. Concede to your brother that he has finally won you over. Sit with him and revel in the music as it feeds your soul. Lean back and take in the sounds as Kendrick Lamar’s “Good Kid” starts to play. Allow the rhythms and lyrics to shake you to your very core as they tell the tales of streets similar to the one you live on.

Try to talk to the neighborhood kids. Their ebonics sounds beautiful to you now.

The words strung together show the oppression and miseducation they’ve had to live with for generations.

Begin to understand that this neighborhood is full of culture that you’ve tried to ignore for years. Try to immerse yourself in it, allow it to swallow you.

Talk to them in their language. They say you talk weird. Your ebonics is more broken than their English.

You try calling anyone and everyone your n---a, try to emulate the way their English words curve into a language of its own.

“What’s up, my n----r?” you’ll say. Note that the word forming from your lips feels slick as it makes its way up your throat and booms from your mouth with confidence.

If they respond with, “You sound weird as fuck,” try not to take it to heart, after all you just started trying to learn their language.

However, if they respond with, “You sound like an oreo,” try not to break down right then and there.

Your languages are so similar but so different. They don’t accept you as one of their own. Try to scrub your vocal chords clean of the whiteness. Scrub until it hurts, then continue until tears begin to stream down your face. Your cries will call your mother to your bedroom as she tries to comfort you.

“There’s nothing wrong with you, honey,” she says.

Don’t believe her. You don’t belong.

Two Brothers

By Mike Kowalski Two boys called upon to serve their land, Both believed to have God’s graceful hand.

With causes both just in their own minds, Who will be blamed in history’s time?

Two boys called upon to ’fend the line With different banners, proud to shine.

They call upon the other’s demise But who will be right when the fervor dies?

Two boys called upon to bid family farewell And to uphold honor; do your duty they tell.

But with destruction wrought on both sides, Mothers’ tears soon fall by hollow shrines.

And when we ask who was without flaws, Who truly had the rightful cause?

The boy on my side, without hesitation we say, Because he fought for me, I mean no dismay.

Lost Knowledge

Clinton deserves student vote for recognition of campus sexual assault H

illary Clinton must be our next president.

She is immensely qualified.

Sexist rhetoric may call her bitchy and cold, but these negative terms can be reclaimed to describe two of her most important presidential traits—her intelligence and unwavering calm.

In the succinct words of President Barack Obama, “[there is] nobody more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president of the United States of America.”

This is a community issue that we do not have the privilege to ignore.

Trying to describe Clinton’s qualifications requires a laundry list of her successes, throughout her varied roles as first lady, a senator and secretary of state. For over three decades, Clinton has been refining the skills necessary to be an excellent leader.

Some young people are considering not voting or voting for a third party candidate because they view this election as voting for the “lesser of two evils.” Our editorial board sees only one evil: Donald Trump.

The candidate who is literally divisive, who wants to build a wall between our country and Mexico. A man spewing aggressive and condescending language on the level of hate and bias claims on this campus. The candidate who brushes off sexual assault and rape culture as “locker room talk.”

Based on her stance on sexual assault alone, Clinton is the best candidate for students. The recent arrest of UW-Madison student Alec Cook, an alleged serial rapist, has reminded our campus that rape culture is an ongoing and pervasive issue.

We can and should hold presidential nominees to a higher standard.

More than one in four undergraduate women will be assaulted during their time at UW-Madison, and these rates nearly double for certain marginalized identities, according to the 2015 AAU survey.

These statistics stress that sexual assault is something that affects—whether directly or through fellow students—every single student on campus.

This is a community issue that we do not have the privilege to ignore.

The Obama Administration has made progress through the “It’s On Us” campaign, focusing on sexual assault awareness, that we cannot go back on. Electing Clinton will not only continue this initiative, but expand on it.

Clinton’s platform on education has prioritized addressing sexual assault on campus, divided into three areas. The first discusses the importance of inclusivity in providing comprehensive support to survivors. We need to provide resources to

The Daily Cardinal Editorial Board takes a look at the 2016 Election

students to ensure that they are heard.

As Clinton stresses in a video addressing survivors, “You have a right to be believed.”

Having a president who recognizes the intersections and nuances of campus sexual assault is essential.

The second aspect of Clinton’s plan is to ensure a fair process.

The process of reporting sexual assault, as discussed last spring by our editorial board, can be difficult to navigate, especially in the wake of trauma. Clinton’s description concurs, calling reporting confusing and convoluted.

While we should be striving to improve the reporting process for survivors, increasing prevention efforts is paramount— as addressed by the third component of Clinton’s plan.

The Tonight Program is an example of an attempt at proactive education on sexual assault. It’s recent reboot is a positive sign of the university being willing to re-evaluate and improve prevention efforts.

These changes are in line with Clinton’s policy, which states “It’s not enough to address this problem by responding only once sexual assault occurs— we need to redouble our prevention efforts and start them earlier.”

In stark contrast to Clinton, Trump hasn’t released any details about a plan to prevent sexual assault on college campuses. He has proven again and again that he doesn’t understand what sexual assault is, defending his respect for women despite mounting reports of his own egregious behavior.

A student leader on our campus, former Student Council Representative Kenneth Cole, recently stepped down from his seat amid allegations of sexual assault less numerous than those currently leveled against Trump.

Having a president who recognizes the intersections and nuances of campus sexual assault is essential.

Hundreds of students signed the petition for Cole to step down, demonstrating our community’s judgment. If we can

Feingold’s student debt policy makes him best choice for undergrads

A

Graphic by Rodney Lambright II

s of 2016, 44.2 million Americans cumulatively owe over $1.3 trillion in student debt. Students who graduated in the Class of 2016 left school with an average of $37,000 in debt. This issue impacts young people nationwide, and is no different in Madison—70 percent of students in Wisconsin graduated with debt, according to the Institute for College Access and Success.

This year’s election deals with many important issues, but to the students here, college affordability and accessibility should be a top priority.

Incumbent United States Senator Ron Johnson, and former Senator Russ Feingold continue to battle in one of the most important down-ballot races in this year’s election. The Democrats hope to retake control of the Senate, and a Feingold victory would go a long way in helping them achieve their goal. Feingold’s commitment to the needs of all Wisconsinites, as well as his superior plan to make college more affordable, make him the right candidate for the job.

Helping students with debt has been one of Feingold’s main focuses since he launched his campaign. The former senator

has spent time at more than a dozen college campuses over the course of this campaign speaking to students, demonstrating a commitment to put his constituents’ interests first.

Feingold’s devotion to everyday Wisconsinites shines through in his plan to make college affordable to all.

He supports increased budgets from the states, which would make a college education more accessible to those who struggle to afford it. He also seeks to allow students burdened with loans to refinance their debts—a process that’s already been implemented effectively to help Americans pay their mortgages.

His stance on the issue contrasts sharply with Johnson’s, who infamously stated that student loans were “kind of free money” in 2015. Johnson has also insinuated that many students don’t graduate in four years because “college is fun” and that students don’t focus their freshman year.

Feingold’s devotion to everyday Wisconsinites shines through in his plan to make college affordable to all.

UW-Madison students should take many issues into account when considering candidates this year, but student debt and college accessibility should be a top priority to all—even those who don’t have debt themselves. Students need a representative in Washington who will advocate for them and their interests. Russ Feingold’s genuine drive and desire to work on making college affordable to all, as well as his long history of promoting a progressive agenda that would better the lives of his constituents, make him the clear choice.

School referendum key to future Badgers’ quality of education

A

expect a member of Student Council to resign following assault allegations, then we can and should hold presidential nominees to a higher standard.

Other members of UW-Madison’s student government said their ability to work with student organizations focusing on sexual assault on campus, such as PAVE and EVOC, was hindered before Cole’s resignation. Allegations against a Student Council member have the power to negatively affect student government’s relationships with advocacy

groups; imagine the impact reports of sexual assault by a president will have on national climate.

Voting is a simple way to impact national and local climate. It is a way for each and every citizen to voice their judgment of which candidate they want representing our nation. Casting a ballot may seem arbitrary, but has real ramifications for our university and community.

For students who think sexual assault is a problem on campus—which should be all students—Clinton deserves your vote.

s voters flood to the polls this year, it’s easy to get so distracted by the presidential candidates that the backside of your ballot becomes nearly forgettable.

This Election Day there’s one extra box for Madison voters to check: a referendum to increase Madison public schools’ budget.

Currently the district’s revenue cap places a limit on how much money the school district can raise through state general aid and property tax. This Madison Metropolitan School District 2016 Operational Budget referendum would permanently increase the school district’s revenue limit by $26 million across four years For UW-Madison students who don’t have children in the public schools, this may seem unimportant. However, a large

percentage of the thousands of K-12 students throughout Madison will become Badgers just like current students.

Without the referendum, upwards of 120 workforce positions are in jeopardy. Less teachers means bigger class sizes, leading to less individual attention per student. A $26 million budget increase sounds hefty, but breaks down to an average property taxpayer impact of $36 per year.

Limiting a young student’s chance at a valuable education becuase paying a few extra dollars a year is irritating is not an excuse.

The referendum would help the large amount of Madison students who live below the poverty line and ensure additional teachers to give each child attention in class, not just students liv-

ing in the wealthier suburbs of Madison. Limiting a young student’s chance at a valuable education because paying a few extra dollars a year is irritating is not an excuse.

Every student deserves the right to an enriching education.

These kids can’t vote on Tuesday, but the quality of their future lies in the hands of people who aren’t even in the public schools. If we want an educated future electorate then we have to educate youth now.

Granting MMSD this $26 million budget increase gives students a better education, which should be a right—not a privilege.

If the referendum doesn’t pass, the board would face a $12 million budget cut for the 2017-’18 school year, just the start of many cuts to come. If UW-Madison students were upset about the recent budget cuts the UW System faced, they should care about this just as much.

It’s time to think of the students this Election Day; vote “yes” on the referendum, and give the next generation of students a chance.

Alicia Keys sings for our Freedom in album Here

PHOTO COURTESY OF CREATIVE COMMONS-JOSÉ GOULÃO

Alicia Keys gives bold inspiration in new album Here.

By Francisco Velazquez THE DAILY CARDINAL

Freedom finds its way into 2016 through music, when the effort of our political campaigns won’t do. Four years since her Girl On Fire release, Alicia Keys returns with a vengeance on HERE, an appraisal of love, the truth of depression and the beauty of blackness. A reflective Keys is featured on the album cover with an untamed afro and bare face. She is a

more aware and calm Alicia Keys, an honest one. I wonder how impactful this album will be to an audience in dire need of validation that the country we call home now, will still be for us after this election.

The protest begins the moment we wake up and carries into the night. “The Gospel,” opens the album with a borderline rap song.

It moves like a march. The song features sharp enunciations and cut-

throat questions from Keys. “If you ain’t in the battle, how you gon’ win the fight?” Keys rallies her audience like a movement and the political action is in our hands. In an effort to forgive others, you must be willing to accept their flaws with your own.

Alicia Keys accomplishes this sentiment in “Pawn It All.” The song is a dire need to begin again. With a slow, grooving piano ballad, she finds no shame in leaving all the materialistic

dailycardinal.com things behind, if she can love freely.

Keys explores her vocal range as she gives all the reasons to keep living.

Love finds itself broken on “Illusion Of Bliss,” but Alicia Keys embraces the storm before the lightning strikes. The moment that the song invokes is a daunting scream, a borderline narrative of a drug addict spiraling down. Salvation belts near the conclusion of the song. Keys declares, “Won’t somebody see me when I can’t see myself / Won’t somebody listen before I need help” as the sirens fill the background. It’s imperfectly honest, the subliminal message of being killed by the police; We see ourselves just the same and arguably just as afraid.

The hardest part of accepting love is knowing that someone may not always be able to love all of you.

Self-love spreads like wildfire on “Girl Can’t Be Herself,” an anthem of growth and working past doubt and insecurities. The song references Keys’ efforts to inspire a make-up free movement earlier in the year.

The emotions of self-love recall us to the root of it all.

“Holy War” is the journey of loving someone else better. It’s the personal and political entities that make America simultaneously a home and waging war. An acoustic guitar chimes in as Keys advises, “maybe we should love somebody, instead of polishing the bones of holy war,”

DJ Spinn and Taso rev up Sett with footwork ByRolands Lauzums THE DAILY CARDINAL

Part of the job of music journalism is to sift through the chaff and figure out what is important and influential now and what will have a lasting impact. Not every album or show will alter how we view music and it’s hard to have the foresight to determine what we will reflect on in 20 years with reverence. However, there seems to be one musical development from Chicago to which many in the music press afford their attention.

Footwork is a spinoff of the electronic genres Chicago House and it’s descendent, Juke. Its frantic and fast speed has leant to a type of dance of the same name that pairs hand in hand with the music. The prime progenitors of the genre are a collective known as Teklife. They’ve become the faces of Footwork and within the past few years have become a global phenomenon, mostly after the release of DJ Rashad’s seminal 2013 album, Double Cup. While he tragically passed away the following year, the ravenous growth of the group has not abated.

Last Friday, DJ Spinn and Taso, both of whom collaborated heavily on DJ Rashad’s masterpiece, brought the sounds of Teklife and Chicago to the Sett. It was a magnificent experience. Opening up for them was Daily Cardinal’s own, Jake Witz, playing under the name Contraboi. His music owed deference to the the brand of Footwork that Teklife pioneered and his excitement for playing before them was obvious. The crowd had started to trickle in at this point, but it was highly disappointing to see a crowd of maybe 50 for the show.

But when Spinn and Taso took the stage, they still played a wonderful set as if they were playing to a

packed audience. They were able to jam in crowd favorites such as “Pass That S**t” from Double Cup or “Dubby” from Spinn’s “Off That Loud” EP. The two had not only brought along the hits, but also the Era Footwork Crew, further proving that the dance and music and inextricably linked. The three dancers exhibited manic yet intricate foot movements that could not better compliment the music. It was certainly a sight to see and, as some of the audience had proved, difficult to replicate successfully. The show was definitely brought to another level with their dancing and they were able to get the crowd highly engaged to a performance that’s essentially someone turning knobs and buttons. Oftentimes, energy and excitement of a large crowd helps the engagement of electronic shows, but the meager audience needed an extra boost from the dancers.

Besides the small audience, the other major disappointment was the overall quiet music. The Sett was not a great venue for this performance because of the lack of capability to make it loud. The bass in many of those tracks calls for you to feel the rhythms in your body, but that feeling was just not there. I left disappointed and unfulfilled. Granted, WUD Music works with what they have, but that lingering itch to hear “Double Cup” in my bones is still there.

UW-Madison students are historically adept at booking shows on campus that in hindsight seem almost legendary. This Teklife show gives a similar sense. Their brand of Footwork may in years time be looked back upon highly, and the few who did come out can proudly boast that they were there when DJ Spinn and Taso played in the Sett.

Chazen holds the work of many students, like Ikeda Manabu.

Artist Ikeda Manabu ends residency with final piece

By Erin Guarnieri THE DAILY CARDINAL

A lot can happen in the span of three years: you can change your major and be on a totally different career path, you can fall in love and get married, or you can finish college and move to a different state. Three years can mean something different for everyone and the future has a way of unfolding beautifully. For the Chazen Museum’s artist in residence Ikeda Manabu, the end of a three-year period means putting the final touches on a masterpiece.

Ikeda Manabu is two weeks from completing his three-year residence at UW Madison. He is originally from Southern Japan, where he found his passion for art as a child. He was fascinated

by the fantasy and freedom of creation in cartoons and comics. He studied art and began his career of painting meticulously detailed scenes that are vividly realistic and incorporate his vast imagination. His career as an artist was drastically affected by his close encounter with the tsunami in Vancouver, an event that left wreckage, death and trauma in the hearts of the people present. In addition to this tragedy, he looks to reflect in his art other disasters in our modern world, like the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Much of Manabu’s art reflects the natural world in its acutely beautiful yet destructive capacity.

Manabu’s biocentric work presents the natural world as a

a continuation that lives outside the walls of racism and the barriers constructed against brown and black bodies. The track features minimal musical arrangements and explores Keys’ dynamic vocal range. It gives us a glass half-empty Alicia Keys posing an open interpretation for what truly matters in America. She proclaims, “If war is holy and sex is obscene / We’ve got it twisted in this lucid dream.” Her lyrics, “Baptized in boundaries, schooled in sin / Divided by difference, sexuality and skin,” reveals that we are presented with the barriers that have maintained social hierarchy in our country since the establishment of “rights.”

HERE is soulful and percussion filled. It refines what it means to be personal. The singer-songwriter poses the questions, why is she “here?” The album answers this question in risk. HERE is personal, political and full of healing. It shares a story of life and the assurance that the dreams and goals we set for each other are only as far as we allow them to be. Keys gives us hope, as people of color, that the fight isn’t over. The album is meant to be heard from beginning to end. It’s a book, a home, a romantic New York City skyline. But ultimately, it’s an encounter with life.

Enjoy the full article online at dailycardinal.com. place where humans, though they attempt to harness nature, have very little control. These concepts appear strongly in his new, almost completed piece.

Working in the Chazen basement in a personalized studio, Ikeda uses ink on canvas to demonstrate his ideals in sharp and vivid colors. His work is so detailed that it takes him an average of 8 hours to complete just a 4”x4” square. Even more amazing, his full piece is a four paneled 4’x4’ display. That is a lot of white canvas for any artist, but especially so when such an immense amount of time and effort is invested in such small sections. While Manabu is hard at work, he has a camera that takes an image every minute and a tall ladder to climb for a sweeping perspective of his progress.

His piece involves a rolling tide into a massive tree, evoking ideas of the tree of life, surrounded by mounds of garbage. This destructive scene is offset by hundreds of intricate flowers dancing in the wind and happily attached to the tree. Confronting Manabu’s work consumes you in this moment of chaos while your eyes flash around at the expanse of beauty.

Within the soaking, roiling mounds of trash from the tsunami, Ikeda placed images of Bucky and our beloved “Dancing W.” I could see a piece of my own identity mixed among the trash. His work is incredible and captivating.

If you are eagerly awaiting the reveal of Ikeda Manabu’s piece in all its glory, you can get a sneak peek during tours of his studio this week at the Chazen. You can also view his complicated and intricate work titled “Meltdown,” which is on display on the third floor. “Meltdown” is a well known piece that made its debut in Vancouver after the disaster.

Madison, get ready to be stunned by Ikeda’s incredible detail, depth of thought and striking colors in his new piece.

‘The Fall’ continues with less-impactful third Netflix season

Gillian Anderson plays the ever-pursuing Detective Gipson in Netflix original series “The Fall.”

Golden Age

By Ben Golden THE DAILY CARDINAL

“The Fall” is an intriguing series that keeps a low profile, but is one of Netflix’s hidden gems. The British psychological thriller’s third season, or as the Brits say, “series,” was released as a Netflix Original October 29 after being released a month earlier on the UK’s BBC. The series tracks police on an animalistic hunt for the “Belfast Strangler,” led with ruthless determination

by British police import, Detective Superintendent Stella Gipson.

Unlike other criminal mysteries, we know who the serial killer is from the very beginning.

The woman-targeting killer, Paul Spector, played with disconcerting finesse by Jamie Dornan, hides in plain site ironically as a marriage counselor with a wife and two kids in a suburban home.

Gillian Anderson is captivating as the icy, but flawed Detective Gipson. Gipson is dead set on catching Spector to the point of rampant obsession. She becomes fixated, not with the convoluted case, but with Spector himself.

Spector has threatened to make Gipson his next female victim, calling her personal cell phone and visiting her hotel room to invade her space and mark his territory. This season, Gipson is plagued by dreams of Spector seducing and killing her. The case begins to invade her personal life and swallow it whole. The new season also invests in the repercussions of those who loved Spector, a man who cannot love back. His family falls apart from

the irreparable betrayal, realizing the man they thought they knew and loved was an act. The babysitter suffers from a strange Stockholm syndrome effect after realizing her employer was a merciless killer, yet expresses devotion and love for him and acts out because of it.

This season delves into Spector’s past before he was a killer: How he became a killer, his origin story and what truly makes a killer. The premise is fascinating, following the bond that forms between detective and killer that is deeper and more squeamishly personal than comfortable.

Their obsessive hatred becomes more profoundly rooted into each of their beings. As the story evolves, the relationship heightens as Spector and Gipson dance around each other, knowing their fates are inevitably connected.

Spector’s contradictory existence as subdued suburban father and

alarming violent sociopath is expertly channeled by Dornan.

Every subtle twitch hints at his monstrous brutality barely contained within his humane appearance. His vacant face progresses to look like an empty mask as the show unravels.

Unfortunately, “The Fall” had such a strong first and second season that the newest season pales in comparison. Acting as a potential finisher of the series, this season that may be the series’ last does not appropriately end such an absorbing narrative. The new season feels a bit like a copout, a rut halting the momentum the series once carried. The ending is shocking and implosive, collapsing a narrative that had the potential to end masterfully.

Despite a strong first and second season, “The Fall’s” third season just didn’t land.

Even with “The Fall’s” shortcomings in the newest season, it

is an enthralling series still worth experiencing. It serves as an in depth exploration on the darkness of humanity and the unexplainable obsessions everyone carries within them. Spector’s voyeuristic and perverse habits challenge the characteristics of mankind.

Spector believes that everyone has suppressed darkness inside them and that he is an existential being living truthfully. Gipson is presented as the protagonist, yet the show calls attention to an eerily parallel predator-prey relationship between them. Just as Spector hunts his victims, Gipson obsessively hunts Spector.

Spector explains “there is a visible and an invisible world. That’s how people get hurt.” Whether looking through a private window, a crime scene or surveillance tapes, it dares to question why humans are primitively captivated by violence, including us viewers watching the show.

Every-Body knows, “no person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow” (Alice Walker, In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens: Womanist Prose). I feel like the———who’s barking as a stump upon Bascom Hill.

In spite of the hurt, I doubt Lincoln or the building hears me. When I fell each time, how I made a sound and wound up ignored.

My freedom of expression has never fully bloomed in a garden of precious white roses. Always, we’ve been the bleeding ones, the withered who rose strong from the concrete.

My freedom of speech is based on a narrative. And a Godly one at that.

“If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it” (Zora Neale Hurston, folklorist, anthropologist, so on).

If you’re silent about your pain, a chancellor or head of state might say it’s justifiable simply because their version of the law might say so.

The 1st time I set foot on school grounds, I knew my black behind was a threat. I was gonna be treated like one.

I accepted and was forever amended to that.

Shall we be the quill body who can change the scripture? Do they know, the ink is slowly stirring, and the feather tops have been ruffled?

CALLING ALL STUDENTS OF COLOR: (We as Badgers must stay persistent.)

I’m tired of being on four legs, four legs being a tired way, for anyone to climb a hill. Let us fly—or claw— above that.

Sincerely, a concerned student at UW-Madison.

Live From the Nest kick-starts its season with singer/songwriter Dan Lenington

By Logan Rude THE DAILY CARDINAL

Thursday night marked the beginning of Live From the Nest: a set of live, stripped-down performances from Madison musicians held in the Daily Cardinal office and streamed live on Facebook.

The first performance showcased UW-Madison student, Dan Lenington. Dan’s short set consisted of three original songs.

His opening songs, “Alone” and “Glow,” are featured on his first EP that was released on Soundcloud nine months ago. Dan used his performance as an opportunity to present a brand new song that is currently unnamed.

Written solely by Dan, the tracks pull from his daily life and his desire to reach other people’s

hearts with his music. As Live From the Nest’s first guest, his set included raw vocals accompanied by enthusiastic acoustic guitar play.

Following the set, Daily Cardinal writers asked questions that revealed details about Dan’s recording and writing process as well as from where he draws the majority of his inspiration. In an attempt to get his music heard by more people, Dan says that he also has been in pursuit of local open mic nights and various opportunities that will allow him to interact with new audiences.

In the coming weeks, Live From the Nest will host more talented local artists who will perform for everyone to see live on The Daily Cardinal’s Facebook page.

Wisconsin handles Buckeyes in Big Ten quarterfinal; will take on Indiana next

By Isaiah De los Santos THE DAILY CARDINAL

The Big Ten tournament found its way back to Madison Sunday afternoon, as the No. 3 Badgers (4-2-2 Big Ten, 11-3-3 overall) played host to the No. 6 Buckeyes (3-4-1, 5-13-1) at the McClimon Complex. The two teams had just played the previous weekend in Madison, in a highly contested 2-1 win for the Badgers to conclude their regular season.

There was no love lost in the quarterfinal matchup Sunday, as both teams were physical all match, exerting their force to intimidate the opposition’s attacks.

Junior Badger forwards Christopher Mueller, Tom Barlow and Mark Segbers kept up the high level of play that the trio ended the season with, trying to break through at any opportunity that came in the first half, but Ohio State’s redshirt freshman goalie Parker Siegfried got his mitts on every shot.

His heady play included a sequence where multiple chances from both Mueller and Barlow were batted away, showing a keen sense of awareness for the young keeper.

His counterpart for the Badgers, redshirt junior keeper Philipp Schilling, had a calm first half, facing only one shot on goal which he handled easily.

The game changed in the second half, as the Badgers were determined to capitalize on the litany

of opportunities that they were able to produce.

In the 53rd minute, after corralling a loose ball, Segbers fired an opportunistic pass into the box placed just above the Buckeye defense. Barlow stood waiting for a chance and pounced on the ball, placing a tactical header to the far post. The Buckeye keeper had no chance even with a fully extended frame to deflect it away.

“The goalie made some pretty incredible saves in the first half,” Barlow said. “But we stayed confident, because we were getting shots on goal.”

The goal was Barlow’s fourth on the year, coming at just the right time as it sparked a flurry of Badger scoring. Wisconsin kept up those shots on goal against Siegfried, as redshirt sophomore forward Isaac Schlenker––who scored the gamewinning goal last week against the Buckeyes––centered a shot that found its way right to redshirt freshman defender Elan Koenig in the box.

Koenig did the rest, finishing with a fiery strike that blazed into the net past the goalie to give Wisconsin a 2-0 lead in the 57th minute. “It was like a feeling I could never, ever describe,” he said. “I’m happy to get the win.”

The goal was the defender’s first career goal, coming right when the Badgers needed it most. Ohio State was never able to overcome the 2-0 lead, with the Wisconsin backline covering every shot, swallowing

Junior Tom Barlow helped the Badgers to an opening round win in the Big Ten Tournament Sunday. them into an abyss of white jerseys and clearing them away.

To cap off the successful offensive flurry of attacks in the second half, Barlow dished a ball to his attacking partner Mueller, who sent a shot determined to find paydirt for a 3-0 Badger lead.

Wisconsin was aware of the implications a win could do for their NCAA Tournament aspirations, as the team was placed

firmly on the bubble to start postseason play. A win next week against the No. 2 seed Indiana Hoosiers will make the Badgers look like a solid choice for the Tournament, but, the Hoosiers will be no pushover.

Indiana currently touts a three-game win streak and drew with the Badgers 0-0 earlier this season, and will certainly be looking to send the Badgers

home packing and continue their own run to the Big Ten title. UW will be thoroughly determined in practice this week, not just for the impending semifinal matchup, but the championship game that looms Sunday should the Badgers take down the Hoosiers on Friday at 1:30 p.m.

“Destiny is in our own hands,” said Barlow. “We just gotta keep winning.”

Brick wall: Desbiens breaks NCAA career shutout record Senior forward Sarah Nurse earns her 100th career point as Badgers roll over Bemidji State

By Cameron Lane-Flehinger THE DAILY CARDINAL

Senior goalie Ann-Renée Desbiens set a new NCAA record with her 44th career shutout and senior forward Sarah Nurse notched her 100th career point as No. 1 Wisconsin (9-0-1 WCHA, 11-0-1 overall) completed a weekend sweep of Bemidji State (2-71, 4-7-1) with a 6-0 victory at LaBahn Arena Sunday.

Entering the game, attention was focused on Desbiens, who had tied the NCAA record in Saturday’s game and had her first opportunity to take the record outright. It would only take the Québec native one chance, as she stopped all 14 of

the Beavers shots to put her name into the record books.

“Ann-Renée, the bar was set high when she came in and took over and she’s reached up and now gone over it, so hats off to her,” said coach Mark Johnson. “It’s a big accomplishment … I’m very proud of her and she’s got a lot to smile about.”

The Badgers started the game sloppy, with several turnovers and tripping penalties by freshman forward Alexis Mauermann and senior forward Sydney McKibbon. Nurse opened the scoring for UW during McKibbon’s penalty, taking a pass from sophomore forward Sophia Shaver and roofing the puck past

Desbiens etched her name in the NCAA record books Saturday.

Bemidji State goalie Erin Deters with nine minutes and 52 seconds remaining in the first. The assist was one of Shaver’s three in the game.

Less than two minutes later, freshman forward Abby Roque doubled the Badgers lead with a shot from just inside the right faceoff dot. The goal broke a streak of 29 consecutive penalty kills by Bemidji State, which entered the game as the top penalty killing team in the country at 96.8 percent.

Wisconsin continued to control play in the second period, outshooting the Beavers 14-3, but could only muster one additional goal by Mauermann. Mauermann, who collected her first collegiate goal one day earlier, added a second in the game in the third period that extended the lead to 4-0. The freshman, who had recently been moved onto a line with Shaver and Roque, credited the shakeup for her scoring outburst.

“Just playing with the linemates that I have, Soph and Abby, they really just got the puck and got bounces this weekend and it worked out like that,” Mauermann said. “We’re very close as friends and it was really great to play with them. We all played together as young kids so it’s fun.”

CAMERON LANE-FLEHINGER/THE DAILY CARDINAL

Nurse leads the nation in goals with 11 in the 2016 campaign.

With just under five minutes remaining in the third period, Nurse took a pass from McKibbon and put it past Deters for a 5-0 lead and her 11th goal of the season, the most in the NCAA this year. As she celebrated, the PA announcer informed the crowd that the goal marked Nurse’s 100th career point.

“It’s a pretty cool accomplishment. It was actually really cool that [McKibbon] made that pass.

I think to me that kinda brought it all back to where it all started,” said Nurse. “[McKibbon]’s a great player to have on the ice. She adds a ton of speed, she has a ton of smarts and I think it’s just been really good for us.”

The final tally was provided by

Roque’s second goal, which trickled through Deters pads and into the net with 17.9 seconds remaining in the game. As the final horn sounded, Desbiens record was official and the team skated out to embrace her.

“I’m definitely happy about it,” Desbiens said. “I think I should just go for more wins and a national championship, I don’t have that one yet.”

The Badgers now have almost two weeks off before a series against No. 3 Minnesota-Duluth beginning Nov. 19, a much needed break after a tough stretch of play and travel.

“It’s nice to have a weekend off and get ourselves prepared not only physically, but also mentally,” said Johnson. “It comes at a great time.”

Volleyball

MacDonald follows peculiar path to UW Amber MacDonald’s determination and drive earned her a spot as a walk-on for the Badgers

By David Gwidt The Daily Cardinal

W

hen Amber MacDonald made her Wisconsin debut in the fall of 2015, it not only signified the start of her college volleyball career, but also put an end to the whirlwind journey which came before it.

Born and raised in Alpharetta, Ga., the Badgers’ defensive specialist/libero first expressed interest in UW during her sophomore year of high school, when she took a trip to watch the Badgers in the 2013 Final Four in Seattle.

Spectating from her seats in the stands, MacDonald marveled at the passion the Badgers played with. As she continued to watch, MacDonald’s admiration for Wisconsin only magnified, falling head over heels for the program in an instant.

“The first time I saw her, I turned to Brittany [Dildine] and said, ‘That’s a Badger’” Kelly Sheffield head coach Volleyball

“I really loved their culture and watching how hard they played,” MacDonald said. “I always wanted to play at a school with a chance to win a national championship, and that was the first time I really thought about coming here.”

Zoei faith/the daily cardinal

Amber MacDonald, pictured here celebrating a UW point, continues to prove herself as a Badger.

That first impression supplied all the impetus she would ever need. MacDonald returned home from the Final Four with a brand-new goal in mind, one that she would work for the next two years to achieve.

Willing to do the recruiting legwork herself, MacDonald got in touch with assistant coach Brittany Dildine and opened up a line of communication with the program.

From that point forward, she kept in close contact with the coaching staff and eventually arranged for a campus visit. Once MacDonald had facilitated the first meeting, it was head coach Kelly Sheffield who made the next move.

“I came to visit my junior year

and spent a lot of time with Kelly and Brit [Dildine],” MacDonald said. “Kelly told me he was going to come watch me practice in Georgia the next week. I was like ‘wow, that’s huge.’”

Making good on his word, Sheffield carried out his promise to MacDonald, traveling the over one thousand miles in between Wisconsin and Georgia to catch a glimpse of the Badger hopeful on the court. Just as Wisconsin felt like love at first sight for MacDonald, it didn’t take long for Sheffield to realize she was too good to pass up.

“The first time she came on campus I hadn’t seen her play,” Sheffield said. “But after she came

here we made a point to go see her play, and right away it was ‘whoa.’

The first time I saw her, I turned to Brittany [Dildine], and said, ‘That’s a Badger.’”

Readily convinced he had seen all he needed to, Sheffield offered MacDonald a spot on the team that very night. Despite garnering scholarship attention from various schools around the country, MacDonald accepted Sheffield’s invitation to walk on without hesitation.

Three years have passed since Sheffield took a chance and signed MacDonald, and the move has proven to be a smashing success. Starting ten matches this season, MacDonald

has shown measurable improvement in her sophomore season at Wisconsin (12-2 Big Ten, 20-3 overall), enjoying a rise in both digs (1.92) and service aces (.18) per set. Additionally, she is coming off a solid month of October, tallying double-digit dig totals twice this past month, including a season-high thirteen-dig performance against Rutgers.

While her improvements on the court are noteworthy, Sheffield commends her most for the intangible qualities she brings to the gym, extolling the courage and tenacity she plays with.

“I think what sticks out to me is that she is just an unbelievable competitor,” Sheffield said. She competes like crazy and she has a passion for this game. She’s fearless.”

Although she took a path different than most, MacDonald believes her status as a walk-on bears no weight on her college career.

“I never really thought about being a walk-on too much,” MacDonald said. “I just knew I had to come in here and play hard no matter what the situation was.”
