Professors, politician reflect on gendered stereotypes in elections

By Olivia Anderson THE DAILY CARDINAL

MORGAN WINSTON/THE DAILY CARDINAL

Several students, including Chair of the Shared Governance Committee Omer Arain and UW-Madison student Zahiah Hammade, watch as Donald Trump’s lead grows in the election.

Marginalized students ‘sad and scared’ after Trump wins presidency Story by Peter Coutu and Sammy Gibbons When walking to class the morning after Election Day, UW-Madison sophomore Ali Khan said he felt like someone close to him passed away.

In his classes Wednesday, classmates of Khan were laughing about the election results— a perspective wildly different than his own, as he has friends who “are fearing for what is going to happen to them.”

“It felt like it only affected you, and I feel like today, these students are not just historically

marginalized, but feel marginalized today,” Khan said.

Many students from groups that Donald Trump regularly targeted during his campaign echoed Khan’s feelings. UW-Madison senior L. Malik Anderson, cofounder and president of Black Journalists Association, said he felt the same worry when the final piece of the electoral puzzle fell into place for Trump.

“I was terrified for everyone who represents those marginalized identities. You’re talking about people of color, women, people who fall into the LGBTQ spectrum, Muslims,” Anderson said. “It was almost like we rewinded back to a decade that I’ve never had to live before.”

Throughout Trump’s presi-

dential campaign, he made numerous remarks that drew outrage from many Americans.

In the second debate, Trump said stop and frisk “worked very well” in New York City, though the practice came under questioning for it’s use of racial profiling. When first announcing his run for presidency, Trump said Mexican immigrants were “rapists” and were “bringing drugs” and “bringing crime.”

Throughout his campaign, Trump came under fire for his treatment of women. In a leaked video, Trump was heard bragging about being able to sexually assault women. Trump has proposed a temporary ban from

While campaigning for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Ohio a week before the election, President Barack Obama spoke of the double standards that have morphed voters’ perception of Clinton.

“When a guy’s ambitious and out in the public arena and working hard, well that’s OK,” Obama said. “But when a woman suddenly does it ... you’re all like—well why’s she doing that?”

But the battle of political sexism is not limited to the presidential election.

State Rep. Melissa Sargent, D-Madison, said individuals, albeit perhaps implicitly, place a woman’s maternal role before her professional one.

“The first thing my colleagues will say to me is ‘How are your

kids?’” Sargent said. “But if a male colleague who has kids is standing right next to me that’s not the first thing they say to them.”

Double standards for politicians who are women can be identified by deconstructing stereotypes associated with gender, according to professor Janet Hyde, director for Research on Gender and Women’s Studies at UW-Madison.

In a panel regarding the 2016 election, Hyde stated that these associations are partially to blame for the disapproval women in politics face from the public.

Men are associated with “agentic qualities,” Hyde said, which she explained as “self-confident, self-reliant, dominant and ambitious” characteristics. In contrast, women are most affiliated with their emotional availability and

Second UW-Madison student arrested for second-degree sexual assault

By Sammy Gibbons THE DAILY CARDINAL

UW-Madison freshman Alec Shiva was arrested by UW-Madison Police Department Officers Thursday for second-degree sexual assault.

UWPD responded to a residence hall where the incident was reported around 8 p.m.

UWPD spokesperson Marc Lovicott said he could not release the name of the residence hall in order to protect the victim. He said it is a residence hall in the Southeast neigh-

borhood of campus.

According to a UWPD incident report, the victim told police that Shiva strangled her, held her against a wall and sexually assaulted her in his dorm room. She called authorities after she managed to leave the room.

The report said Shiva became combative after a bystander noticed the victim in distress and confronted him. He broke a mirror and other items owned by the university in his room and attempted to punch the bystander.

Shiva was booked into the Dane County Jail and arrested for battery, false imprisonment, strangulation, disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property along with second-degree sexual assault.

UW-Madison spokesperson Meredith McGlone said the university is taking appropriate steps to protect the victim and has placed Shiva under emergency suspension.

“UW-Madison is committed to preventing sexual violence,” McGlone said. “When there is an

allegation of sexual assault, we seek to offer support, information and resources to the victim.”

Lovicott said the investigation is ongoing.

SHIVA

“We’ve talked to a number of people in the area, including the victim,” Lovicott said. “We refer all the charges to the District Attorney’s office and we await their decision on charging.”

Shiva is the second UW-Madison student to be arrested for seconddegree sexual assault this semester.

Alec Cook was arrested Oct. 17 and now faces numerous charges of sexual assault. He is also suspended from the university and is currently in jail awaiting payment of his $200,000 bail.upta spernam.

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

Forage Kitchen is a new restaurant on State Street that values bringing convenience and affordability to students.

Eat local, healthy at Forage Kitchen on State

By Trevor Kniaz THE DAILY CARDINAL

Forage Kitchen, which opened last October, is one in a wave of new restaurants populating the State Street corridor. Many of these cater to college students’ demands for convenience and affordability.

In addition to the ubiquitous array of chains—Wendy’s, Chipotle, Five Guys, Potbelly’s and the like— some local start-ups like Forage Kitchen are making their mark on the fast-food landscape.

Owned and operated by Henry Aschauer, who also owns Roast Public House on State Street, Forage is in touch with the preferences of college students who want something quick and easy without sacrificing nutritional benefits.

“The idea behind Forage is to provide our guests with real, wholesome, healthy food in a fast setting at a price point that is attainable for most. We want to revolutionize what people think a salad can be and make the community better off for it,” Aschauer said.

The menu offers salads, grain-based bowls and homemade smoothies, and draws on a variety of foreign cuisines. For a Mediterranean-inspired bowl they offer the $11 ‘Club Med Bowl,’ a mixed greens salad with quinoa, feta, cucumbers, raisins, cilantro, *grape* tomatoes, lemon chicken, hummus, pita chips and zhoug (a

Mediterranean Chimichurri). The generous serving size is plenty for a full meal and the combination of tangy hummus, crispy pita, lemon chicken and quinoa provides enough variety in texture and flavor that it’s tempting to order it on return visits.

For a Southwestern bite there is the $10.50 ‘Batatas Rancheros,’ a salad built on shredded romaine, sweet potato, corn, black beans, roasted jerk chicken, green onion, cilantro, avocado and ranchero dressing. As with the ‘Club Med,’ the various elements work to balance the flavors in a way that avoids the single-note taste of many other salads that seem to try to do too much. The cool and creamy avocado balances the zestier flavor of the chicken and dressing, and the corn and green onions provide a welcome crunch that doesn’t lazily rely on the obvious crouton, that wouldn’t match the flavor profile of the dish.

While the carefully constructed offerings on the menu should not be neglected, Forage also allows make-your-own bowls from their vast array of fresh ingredients.

An extra effort is also made to prepare the ingredients inhouse every day. Aschauer said, “Most everything is made inhouse. All of our salad dressings, nut milks, nut butters, most beverages, hummus, we’re

starting to brew and bottle our own kombucha, I mean we even bake our own bread to simply cut up and bake for croutons.

Sometimes it is cheaper to do it this way, sometimes it isn’t, but what is guaranteed is that we have complete control over the end product.”

Another important part of Forage’s mission is to support farmers and purveyors that are local to the Madison area. “Generally speaking, it is simply better for the community,” Aschauer said “If we can get our spring mix from a local farm and pay them every week, that is money that is invested back into the local community rather than going to California or abroad.

It is tough come late fall and winter to source fresh produce locally, but we still try to support local companies as much as possible during this time.”

For smaller snacks Forage also offers smoothies, freshpressed fruit and vegetable juices and acai bowls. This includes the $7.50 “Goji Berry High” which comes with the cold, smoothielike consistency of Acai, topped with sliced banana, fresh berries and house-made goji granola.

For those looking to try something new for lunch, Forage Kitchen more than deserves a chance to experience a convenient way to get yourself a healthy, quality meal or snack.

Although the recent slew of uncannily warm days may have been deceiving, winter is slowly but surely creeping in. While this season is full of celebration, cheer and twinkly lights, it also brings a cold that seeps through to your skin. Literally.

Dry skin haunts most people during the winter, but fortunately there are a few ways to stop this seasonal stress.

Exfoliate and moisturize regularly

It may seem like a timeconsuming pain to do, however this step can prevent your skin from drying and peeling.

While showering, use a gentle sugar scrub on your arms, legs and feet, and follow up with a layer of moisturizer within the five minutes after you have dried off. This step can also be used to keep your face soft and smooth, but you have to be more careful in choosing products. In addition, exfoliating should be done three to four times a week to reduce possible irritation, while moisturizing can be a daily ritual.

Find a hydrating treatment

Look out for a specialty product that will bring moisture back into your face. There are many options – serums, masks, oils, etc., so find one that best fits into your routine. A serum or oil will be applied after a face moisturizer, but a hydrating mask could be applied immediately before bed, and will sink in throughout the night. If you typically have oily skin, do not be afraid to apply an oil on top of it. Most are designed to work with the natural oils of your skin, and will leave you looking radiant.

Use water wisely

Not only is it important to stay hydrated for health reasons, but it also keeps your skin staying fresh and happy.

Always keep a water bottle with you, and your skin will show the results. In addition, taking shorter showers during the winter can help decrease your chances of dry skin, and it is more environmentally friendly.

Embracing crock-pot cooking with a hectic college schedule

By Allison Garcia THE DAILY CARDINAL

You’re hungry. You’re busy.

But mostly, you’re really hungry.

This happens all of the time and you don’t know what to cook.

Maybe you’re not good at cooking. Maybe your schedule is complicated. But still, you need to eat. This is where the crock pot—often referred to as the slow cooker—comes into play. It’s the workhorse of a college kitchen.

The beauty of the crockbot is in its simplicity. Essentially all you need to do is throw a bunch of basic ingredients into a bowl,

decide to cook on low or high, then move on with your life for the next three to eight hours.

After a power study session, a couple episodes of Netflix, a day of classes or even a full night sleep you come back to the pot and voilà, enough food to feed you for the week.

Crock pots are great for making soups, stews, chili, shredded meats and more. Taking advantage of this easy-to-use and versatile tool will help with meal planning and make sure that despite your busy schedule, you are well-fed.

Finding comfort in prose Aaron Durlauf THE DAILY CARDINAL

Like many, I was shocked by the results of the election last week. The country is incredibly divided and there are various groups of people who face the prospect of policies that threaten their homes, bodily autonomy and safety. Reports of harassment and hate crimes across the country in the past week alone are terrifying. It is unlikely I will be directly affected by most of these policies, but I am fearful for my friends, loved ones and people in general who will be.

When I returned home last Wednesday morning, reeling from the previous night’s events, I immediately began looking through my books for something comforting or hopeful. I first thought about William Butler Yeats’ prose “The Second Coming.” The poem’s first stanza reads: “Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.”

This poem speaks with relevance of a world coming unhinged. The “ceremony of innocence” is the current electoral system. People have various views on the Electoral College, the two party system, etc.

But whatever your opinion, it’s hard to have confidence in a system that would elect such a regressive, hateful and utterly unqualified person.

While “The Second Coming” matched much of what I felt, it was hardly helpful in moving forward. I thought next about William Ernest Henley’s “Invictus,” a piece Nelson Mandela would recite to himself during his darkest moments of his 27 year imprisonment. It reads: “Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.”

The poem is a mantra of resilience, a reminder of our agency.

While I think it important, this piece is not the right poem for this time.

“Invictus” is about stoicism, but what we must do now is listen to those in pain. To tell someone who lives in an oppressive system that they are the masters of their fate, is to ignore the barriers they face.

I don’t know what poem is right for our time, but I know it will be written. History shapes art as much as emotion. What people find helpful in this time will vary. I encourage people to find the right art for them, whatever it may be.

I personally return to a single line from Jonathan Safran Foer’s “Everything is Illuminated,” in which a character describes what they did when the Nazis came to their town during World War II: “I saw [him] and he saw me and we stood next to each other because that is what friends do in the presence of evil or love.” I imagine the next four years as the former, but we cannot forget love. We must stand with our friends, listen to their fears and not deny the oppressive darkness around them that we may not always see. And we must also look for the embers of hope in the world and fan them strong.

We must act on hope at every level, until our action spreads in a widening gyre centered on friendship, empathy and solidarity.

Old yet memorable releases: ‘Silver Linings Playbook’

By Sam Marz FILM COLUMNIST

The best thing about watching a movie is that it shows us a world different from our own. Whether fantastical or realistic, dramatic or comedic, these films offer a path to escape from our problems and concerns.

And, if really good, a film might offer a new life perspective to consider.

I can’t say I have a favorite film, but one of the first films that spring to mind when asked is David O. Russell’s “Silver Linings Playbook.”

Based on the same-name novel, the film follows Pat Solitano, played by Bradley Cooper, who comes home to live with his parents after staying in a psychiatric hospital while diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

He plans to reunite with his exwife Nikki, but that plan soon gets complicated after he meets Tiffany, played by Jennifer Lawrence. We learn that Tiffany has depression and relationship issues. The film tackles multiple themes and ideas with which people can relate, from mental challenges to family ties and love. The film raises questions about how we should respond when faced with setbacks, and how we should embrace new opportunities and second chances.

The design of the film is very personal. Russell uses a combination of medium and standard closeups of his characters, giving the film a more intimate feel. His selective focus on the characters’ faces furthers that effect. The narration is primarily Pat’s point of view, connecting viewers to the mental and emotional struggles he endures.

This somewhat extends to Tiffany as well, especially toward the end of the film as her relationship with

Pat reaches a crossroad, highlighting both characters’ emotional journeys throughout the film.

All the performances in “Silver Linings Playbook” are fantastic. Cooper sells Pat’s emotional peaks and valleys throughout the film, making me feel deeply for that character. Lawrence performs much the same as Tiffany.

Balancing heavy subjects with comedy is not easy, but Cooper and Lawrence pull it off seamlessly. Their on-screen chemistry is undeniable, providing one of the focal points of the film. Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver also add a dynamic as Pat’s parents. As a testament to their work, all four lead actors were nominated at the Oscars, with Lawrence winning her first for Best Actress.

Much like its title suggests, “Silver Linings Playbook” is ultimately a story about how we can find the good in the bad, the silver lining behind the cloud.

This movie gets me every single time, because its premise is quiet, yet powerful. It isn’t a story that changes the world, but it is a story that changes a personal world—for the better. “Silver Linings Playbook” is one of those rare movies that offers new perspective, to escape into a life where characters can overcome difficult situations. It makes me believe that love is endless and accessible to all of us despite—and perhaps even because of—our flaws. Despite the pain we may feel or troubles we may face, there will always be people there to pick us up when we fall, and this film helps me to remember that.

Claire Foy plays the ever-conflicted life of young Queen Elizabeth II.

Netflix throws us back in time in ‘The Crown’ Ben Golden TV COLUMNIST

Netflix released their most ambitious original series yet on Nov. 4 called “The Crown,” a partially fictitious interpretation of the historic rise of Queen Elizabeth II. The series is reportedly the most expensive television show ever produced, with a whopping $130 million budget. After binging the entire first season, it is clear that their efforts paid off tremendously.

Every frame is immaculate, filmed on location at an impressive spread of British historical sites, including Buckingham Palace. Each lavish costume is exquisitely crafted for the time period. The score is bold, filled with grandiose and sweltering with emotion. Elegant and moving, “The Crown” ups the ante for a period drama, redefining the scope of what quality television can achieve to be.

“The Crown” reveals the hostile and restrictive nature beneath the picturesque British throne. Queen Elizabeth is immediately tested in a growing conflict between love and duty. When her father dies, Elizabeth claims the throne as queen. Her grandmother warns that she will internally struggle between her own heart and that of the crown.

She warns that the crown will be the inevitable winner. Tradition becomes more like imprisonment, stripping her individual freedoms and self-morals as her identity fades when she inherits the burdensome, symbolic role.

The acting is so strong that you forget you are watching a performance and not reality, achieving a full immersion into the real lives the characters are based on. Elizabeth is embodied by Claire Foy as someone relatably human – a 25-yearold with all the familiar insecurities – who dedicates her life to the crown for the sake of her country, taking every detail of responsibility to heart. Matt Smith plays Elizabeth’s dashing, yet defiant husband Prince Phillip, a very different character than his “Doctor Who” persona. Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s iconically quirky character is provided a skillfully textured portrayal by John Lithgow.

Elizabeth’s envious and wistful sister, Princess Margaret, is played charismatically by Vanessa Kirby.

Foy’s Elizabeth is a quiet, yet resilient feministic figure. She faces the discrimination of a sexist society in the 1950s, pushing against the glass ceiling despite her status as queen. When asked what her new name will be upon coronation, she insists on retaining Elizabeth and her maiden name Windsor rather than her husband’s last name.

Phillip struggles adjusting to his new role as his wife’s support. He is forced to place his own life on the backburner while under Elizabeth’s shadow, much like a woman’s usual marital position at the time. He becomes fed up with the frivolities, nonsensical traditions and conformities in which the royal family is bound, creating a marital friction that threatens to collapse the carefully crafted public illusion. Phillip finds himself kneeling to his wife during her coronation after arguing about it prior to the ceremony.

This moment manifests the idea that although he is Elizabeth’s equal in marriage, he is still subservient to the Queen and the Crown.

This subservience is most heavily laded on Elizabeth, her entire existence completely dedicated to the impossible task of upholding this flawless ideal. She must eliminate her individuality and strip herself of free will. The role as queen is passive and silent, preserving the church’s laws without any hint of deviation.

This understanding led Elizabeth to disappointing those she loves in order to do what is decided as best for the country. A photographer’s words during a portrait scene accurately captures the new Elizabeth we come to know: “Not moving. Not breathing. Our very own goddess.”

Her expectations expel any risk of faults and she is officially presented as a smiling and composed reminder that the British Parliament is sound. This imprisonment in throne emblematically causes her body to lash out, resulting in doctor treatment for a facial muscle spasm from smiling too much during public appearances. Like one of the welltempered horses Elizabeth breeds for racing, she herself is a pedigree of the English Crown, raised and poised to consistently perform, not as a human, but as a decorative emblem serving the public.

“The Crown” takes Elizabeth’s life to a deeply personal level without forcing melodramatic narrative. Despite it conveying a topic that would seem dry or stuffy, the series manages to not only churn out one compelling episode after the next, but also bring a relevancy that resonates with many of our societal issues today.

The series investigates separation between church and state, morals versus obeying authority and highlights an unexpected example of a feminist icon. Watching liberation leak through the cemented bounds of ancestral tradition is empowering. Embedded within the exquisitely lush context of “The Crown,” experiencing this series is all the more enthralling.

Letter calls on UW to protect undocumented people

By Peter Coutu THE DAILY CARDINAL

Following President-elect Donald Trump’s Tuesday victory, a letter has begun circulating online calling on UW-Madison administrators to protect students, staff and their family members “who face imminent deportation” because of their undocumented status.

Trump promised to deport anyone living in the country illegally during his campaign, and his election has already inspired fear among Latino students in Madison, accord-

marginalized from page 1 the U.S. for Muslim immigrants, “until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses.”

Trump’s vice president, Mike Pence, championed a bill while he was governor of Indiana which would allow businesses to deny services to LGBT individuals. Pence argued the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, passed in 2013, preserved the religious rights of Indiana residents.

“People don’t get that this is more than just an election for some people,” Anderson said.

“It’s about people’s identities and lives being under attack and not feeling safe anymore. I don’t know what to expect after January. I don’t know if I’ll be safe walking outside of my home.”

Wisconsin chooses Trump The victory also strikes closer to home for many students, as Trump won Wisconsin at roughly 1:30 a.m. Wednesday morning, a victory that virtually sealed the election for Trump.

Being in a state that supports Trump has caused some unrest for students, also.

“You never know who you could be walking with who don’t agree with you and don’t want you to be in this space,” UW-Madison freshman and member of the Muslim Student Association Zahiah Hammad said. “You don’t really feel welcomed at this school. It’s hard … people were asking if they should walk me home, just

ing to the Wisconsin State Journal.

The letter calls on Chancellor Rebecca Blank as well as other senior administrators to declare the UW-Madison campus as a sanctuary for community members who are undocumented or those who have Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, which is a program that allows certain immigrants to receive renewable twoyear work permits.

UW-Madison students Sergio M. González, Laura P. Minero and professor Cindy I-Fen Cheng because they know this campus may not be the safest place for a certain type of people.”

Because of how “sad and scared” many of the students were following Trump’s victory, Gabe Javier, director of the LGBT Campus Center and Multicultural Student Center, said he prioritized providing a space that student could come together in.

The MSC opened their space on the second floor of the Red Gym for students to discuss their feelings regarding the election or to simply relax. The MSA held also a group gathering there to create community following Trump’s victory.

“I think it’s a space people should know that they can come to and process however it is that they need to, it’s open for that,” Javier said. “It’s understandable that it can be hard to be in other spaces of campus, especially with homecoming this weekend. this can be a place for people to take a break and other spots in the red gym.”

Javier said the MSC’s resources with counselors from UHS are flexible, so he could ensure they would be available for students, as the election results shocked many students who expected Clinton to win the election handily. Most pre-election polls favored Clinton’s chances in winning the White House.

UW-Madison political science professor and expert on polling David Canon said this election was unprecedented because all the polls were remarkably off, including the most recent Marquette poll, which is usually accurate in Wisconsin.

wrote the letter Saturday, which has been signed around 550 times by faculty members, students and alumni as of 4 p.m.

Minero, who is an undocumented UW-Madison doctoral student, spoke about her fears of imminent deportation at a Thursday demonstration that featured around 2,500 community members protesting Trump’s election.

González said many in the UW-Madison community are “still processing what happened this week,” but are already “looking

After Election Day Students agreed that their advocacy cannot stop following Clinton’s loss.

“The work starts now for us,” Hammad said. “We need to stay together and we need to push forward I think is the best we can do, and as young people especially our work means something. This might be a lesson to people in America and I think we need to make the best of it.”

Khan, chair of the Equity and Inclusion Committee, said he is going to continue to push for Associated Students of Madison to represent and help these different marginalized communities on campus. In addition, his committee is working on some campaigns to help improve the campus climate.

Javier said he thinks the next step is to continue being present for his colleagues and students that are feeling hurt.

Javier said these communities should continue to “push our white allies to show support for people of color and our straight allies to show support for the LGBTQ community, not just when there is an incident or emergency, but to really integrate that into their practice.”

Violating the parking ordinance can result in a $20 fine, which increases to $60 during a declared snow emergency.

Thornton Avenue and the Yahara River, and between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona.

Violating the alternate side

González urged the university to take this “concrete action” to help historically marginalized groups on campus.

“I think it is imperative that the university is at the front of this because I’ve seen in the past year that our university is struggling with how to deal with issues of racism on campus,” González said.

“This is how we can be on the forefront of that issue.”

UW-Madison spokesperson Meredith McGlone declined to comment.

He said Trump was successful among individuals who had not decided to vote according to polls issued one week before Election Day, most likely because of FBI Director James Comey’s announcement of the reopened investigation into Clinton’s emails.

Alternate side parking rules go into effect Tuesday The City of Madison will start enforcing alternate side parking rules Tuesday at 1 a.m., and the rules will stay in effect through March 17, 2017.

The alternate side parking rules mean that Madison residents must park their cars on the odd-numbered side of the street between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m. on odd dates, and park on the even-numbered side of the street on even date mornings, according to a city press release.

The downtown area, including most areas on and around campus, fall into the “Snow Emergency Zone.” In that area, the rules only go into effect during a declared snow emergency.

The rules are in effect regardless of weather conditions for other parts of the city, seven days a week.

The “Snow Emergency Zone” extends from Park Street to

He said other campuses around the nation—including Yale University, Brown University and the University of Texas-Austin—are working on drafting similar letters to issue demands to their administrators.

There is a precedent for labeling the city of Madison as an immigrant sanctuary from law enforcement agencies, according to González. He said the campus was a sanctuary in 1985 for Central American refugees.

Student voter turnout increased from 2012 to 2016, according to data from the Dane County Clerk’s Office.

UW student voters beat 2012 turnout on 2016 Election Day

By Katie Moakley THE DAILY CARDINAL

Student voter turnout for the 2016 presidential elections is up 7 percent campus wide since the 2012 elections, with the overwhelming majority of those votes going to Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Student wards themselves counted nearly 30,000 undergraduate votes, and there was a 2-to-5 percent increase of voters in dorms.

Ward 55, which includes the Spring Street area of campus, saw 3,177 voters, an increase from 2012 when 2,694 votes were tabulated. Clinton received 68 percent of the vote.

And in Ward 56, which includes the Southeast dorms, 2,093 voters went to the polls in 2016. In 2012, only 1,982 people cast ballots.

“The general mentality of voter turnout about millennials is they either don’t care, or they don’t vote. This is a misconception,” Scott Resnick, a former campus representative in Madison Common Council, said.

Resnick, a UW-Madison alum, is currently collecting data about city and campus voting trends.

“The millennial voters are taken for granted, they are very active” Resnick said.

The surge of new voters brought along a shift in preceding voting patterns. According to the Wisconsin Elections Commission, Dane County has voted over 70 percent for Democratic candidates in presidential elections since 2004.

Madison has nearly 80 percent of Democratic voters, however once on campus the number of left-wing voters drops by nearly a quarter.

“You see more conservative first-time voters in Sellery and Witte rather than what you would see on Spring Street,” Resnick said.

Despite this increase, the margin between Democratic and Republican votes did not dramatically shift.

It is not clear what contributed to the increase of student voters.

“It wasn’t just one factor,” Resnick concluded. However, campus encouragement and events to register student voters did not play a small role. The university issued over 6,000 voting IDs to out-of-state students to make it easier for them to vote under the state’s new voter ID law.

155,880 voters cast ballots across all of Madison in 2016, representing 77 percent of registered voters.

Students, community leaders occupy Bascom Hill to demand community control of police

By Sammy Gibbons THE DAILY CARDINAL

Members of the Black Liberation Action Coalition and supporters interrupted traffic and the UW-Madison Homecoming Parade Friday to demand community control of the police.

Around 100 protesters met at the top of Bascom Hill, where UW-Madison graduate student Michael Davis spoke about the purpose of the march.

“We’re here to make our demands explicit and hold the university accountable for the acts of racial violence that they have either accepted or perpetuated,” Davis said. “Our goal is to get people organized and to make sure our momentum does not cease at the end of this action and that we can get dedicated people to push back against injustice and issues of oppression here in Madison and at UW.” The group said they wanted to raise awareness of the white supremacy that they believe is present on campus and they criticized the university’s response to a costume depicting President Barack Obama in a noose that recently appeared in Camp Randall.

The group demanded that people of color have some control over the UW-Madison Police Department and the Madison Police Department. They also demanded control over curriculum in all learning institutions in Madison, including UW-Madison, as well as funding and resources.

After the demands were listed, the group of more than 100 protesters moved down Bascom Hill carrying signs and a large banner that read “Community Control Over Police.”

The group stopped in the middle of Park Street, where leaders said traffic can wait. The crowd continuously chanted phrases such as “We gonna be alright, only if we fight” and “Black Lives Matter, and black women, too.”

The procession continued through Library Mall, and stopped at the intersection of Lake Street and State Street, which is where the Homecoming Parade was ending. The protesters lined up in the street to block traffic and the parade. Police were present, but the demonstration remained peaceful and no arrests were made.

“We did what we sought out to

do, which was disrupt business as usual,” Alix Shabazz, an organizer of the protest, said. “We definitely sent a message to not only the chancellor, Chief Koval and the mayor, but the campus as whole.”

The protesters eventually turned left and headed toward Langdon Street and then marched back toward Memorial Union.

The group continued until reaching the intersection of Park Street and University Avenue, where they blocked traffic again.

Graduate student and member of the Bias Response Team Ashley Smith said since her time on this team, the group has received 74 reports spring semester, and more 70 during fall semester. She said the majority have been from women of color.

This information was followed by the protesters chanting “Black Women Matter.”

The protest rounded to East Campus Mall, where Shabazz concluded the march by telling the group to form a circle and link arms.

“We are fierce and we are powerful,” Shabazz said. “If you continue to resist and organize, we will win. We won’t stop until we get victory.”

UW-Madison students Michael Davis, Eneale Pickett and other protesters halted traffic on campus roads Friday to demand community control from people of color over local school systems and police forces.

gendered from page 1 care function.

Hyde also noted that implicit condescension toward women profoundly affects their behavior; because agentic qualities are associated with men, political leaders are expected to acquire them.

According to the Center For American Women and Politics, in every political leadership role, less than 30 percent of women hold those positions.

Additionally, of the 99 members in the Wisconsin State Assembly, there are 23 women.

Sargent experienced the effect of such disparities firsthand when she was elected in 2011.

“Part of that was being more aware of how I dress or the words

that I choose to use or the tone that my voice is making, ‘Don’t get too emotional, Melissa’ or the speed in which I talk,” Sargent said. “I am more aware of all of that than I was before I came [into office].”

This shift in behavior parallels the “norm of emotional restraint for men,” which Hyde defines as a causal factor in the gender stereotypes of emotions.

“If women are agentic, then they are violating gender stereotypes and they are disliked,” Hyde said. “People, in general, don’t like stereotype violators.”

Hyde also addressed the consequences of gender stereotypes in the political world during the 2016 presidential election.

Donald Trump’s “ready expres-

sions of anger, to many people, are power and dominance emotions,” Hyde said, arguing that the president-elect’s rhetoric and actions are within the framework of masculine stereotypes.

The 2016 presidential debates also marked a time for Sargent to relate her experiences as a woman to the rhetoric between Trump and Clinton; for example, she felt uncomfortable when Trump continuously stood behind Clinton in the second debate.

“It reminded me of times when I was walking down a street and I could hear footsteps behind me, but I was afraid to turn around,” Sargent explained.

Trump’s dominant stance, similar to his numerous interruptions, “is a way to exert power

The UW System Board of Regents task force on campus climate met Friday to discuss instances of bias at system universities.

Regents’ campus climate task force addresses bias incidents at UW schools

By Maggie Chandler THE DAILY CARDINAL

Members of the UW System Board of Regents’ task force on campus climate expressed concerns about instances of racism and homophobia on UW System campuses during a meeting Friday.

David Blough, senior policy and planning analyst for the UW System, spoke about compositional diversity of all system students as a whole.

Among Blough’s findings were that the portion of nonwhite students in UW System schools has increased over the past 10 years and employee diversity also has increased, although less significantly than student diversity.

Blough also presented graphs about the portion of first-generation college students, the number of students registering to receive disability services and the percentage of LGBT students.

Task force members discussed recent surveys they conducted at their schools and the initiatives that were being produced as a result of these findings.

LaRuth McAfee, assistant dean for diversity, inclusion and funding for UW-Madison’s graduate school, said UW-Madison’s and dominance in an interaction” Hyde said.

Sargent addressed Trump’s “locker-room talk” tape as evidence of sexual domination over women by men: “It’s not lockerroom talk,” she said. “It’s proven behavior that he has exhibited on other women.”

Jennifer Higgins, associate professor at UW-Madison with a focus on women’s reproductive health, also spoke at the panel.

She said in her women’s book club they discussed this incident at length, and found that “every single one of us had multiple stories of being groped” or sexually assaulted in one form or another. “[Out of this election] has risen a new narrative about the ubiquity of the way in which

campus climate survey had been answered by roughly 20 percent of the student body. The survey closed earlier this week and data are still being analyzed.

McAfee mentioned the video game developed for UW-Madison, “Fair Play,” which follows the life of an AfricanAmerican student as he navigates the everyday hardships of racism on a college campus.

McAfee also discussed the Women in Science and Engineering Institute and their commitment to minimizing a conscious bias against women in engineering.

Katrina Morrison, a student founder of Our Wisconsin, the two-part workshop on diversity training offered to freshmen at UW-Madison, also reported that data processing was in effect to draw conclusions about the program.

Morrison said that provided the pilot resulted in an increased measure of education surrounding diverse groups on campus, Our Wisconsin would be expanded to all students, staff and faculty over the course of five years.

The task force on campus climate plans to meet again after the new year. people experience sexual harassment,” Higgins said. “I think that ultimately there will be, I hope, a moment of cultural zeitgeist in that area.”

At the panel, both Hyde and Higgins claimed that discussions will emerge surrounding women’s equality in response to the election in its entirety.

According to Higgins, she hopes “we all can keep working toward a sexual culture in which we don’t have to worry so much about our daughters.”

Professor Hyde also voiced her hopes for a similar world by restating a quote from Michelle Obama: “Strong men, men who are truly role models, don’t need to put women down for themselves to feel powerful.”

After Trump’s win, thousands marched in solidarity to the Capitol Story by Sammy Gibbons and Madeline Heim Following Donald Trump’s presidential win, nearly 2,500 students and community members stood in solidarity with historically marginalized groups at the steps of the Capitol Thursday night.

Members of the LGBT community, Muslim students, people of color, undocumented students, people with disabilities and several others shared their stories and called the crowd to dismiss the president-elect’s targeted rhetoric against them and focus on creating change.

“Our voice matters more than it ever has. We are the children of revolution.”

Ella Sklaw student UW-Madison

Before taking off from Bascom Hill, UW-Madison student Matt Wulf spoke, calling himself an ally for his peers and arguing that he will not “sit idly by in a time so full of injustice and bigotry.”

“I want it known first thing that there really is no right way to feel right now, no one knows how to feel right now. This is a strange time,” Wulf said. “Some of us are very confused, some of us are very angry, and some of us are terrified. Speaking for myself, I feel numb.”

“It’s hard to see the path forward when you’re in pain, when you’re in shock.”

Chris Taylor state representative

The group headed to Library Mall, where UW-Madison student Mariam Coker shared a poem and asked attendees to chant “Black Lives Matter” to show support.

Students from historically marginalized groups have already expressed concerns with Trump’s rhetoric and plans for action in his presidency.

The event was organized by UW-Madison students Katrina Morrison, Brooke Evans, Sally Rohrer, Kat Kerwin, Jonny Vannucci, Ali Khan, Billy Welsh and Christian Bradley.

Rohrer said the idea for the march stemmed from disbelief in whom the country had elected president and a need to come together around “common causes that we feel will be infringed upon by a Trump presidency.”

Bradley, a UW-Madison freshman and Associated Students of Madison Legislative Affairs Committee member, said this protest serves to raise awareness and support individuals who may be treated as “secondhand citizens” in the next four years.

“We’re standing in solidarity with all of the affected minority groups, all the people who are losing their income, their healthcare,” Bradley said.

The organizers stand against the role of Electoral College over popular vote, according to Evans, and will support “Black Lives Matter” and call for racial justice, advocate

for reproductive rights for women and other causes.

They said that individuals must acknowledge the intersectionality of issues in the U.S. and use their power to fight for affected groups.

Ella Sklaw, a n o t h e r U W- M a d i s o n student, voiced support for r e p r o du c t ive rights, saying women should be able to make decisions about their own bodies.

She also encouraged a welcoming atmosphere for folks of all religions, sexual orientations, ethnicities and called for the end of mass incarceration.

“Our voice matters more than it ever has,” Sklaw said. “We are the children of the revolution.”

As the crowd made its way to the Capitol, City of Madison Ald. Zach Wood, District 8, and Dane County Board Supervisor Hayley Young, District 5, explained why they felt it was important to show up and march.

Both underscored the concerns their constituents and friends have shared about safety and health following Trump’s win, and spoke to the need for the city and county’s elected officials to understand how people are feeling.

“Do what you can to make positive change, no matter what’s going on,” Young said.

Yusra Murad, a UW-Madison student who spoke to the crowd about the impact Trump’s presiden-

cy could have on Muslim Americans, said Muslims across the country are facing death threats, vandalism and getting hijabs torn off just two days after the election was called.

Murad called Trump “the most Islamophobic president on the playing field.” When asked why she was marching, she said she did it for herself, her family, brothers and sisters and others.

“Do what you can to make positive change, no matter what’s going on.”

Hayley Young supervisor Dane County Board

“The idea that I now feel that I’m on a campus, I’m in a country where almost half of the nation doesn’t want me here or is willing to elect the president who would send me out of here, I’m not staying home,” Murad said. “If I can convince one person or two people that that’s wrong, then I need to do it.”

The crowd chanted “Love trumps hate” as they moved further toward the Capitol.

As they reached the steps of the Capitol, Michael Johnson, CEO of the Dane County Boys and Girls Club, asked everyone to lay down and take a three-minute moment of silence.

“These issues are so important.

Lives are at stake,” Johnson said.

“We’re standing in solidarity with all of the affected minority groups ...”

Christian Bradley member ASM Legislative Affairs Committee

Wisconsin state Rep. Chris Taylor, D-Madison, addressed the crowd, saying they stand together in love, compassion and fairness, and will not stop until the state and country also embodies those values.

She said the hardest part of Trump’s win was informing her 10-year-old that “the most sexist, racist, hatefilled person to run for president has been elected.”

“It’s hard to see the path forward when you’re in pain, when you’re in shock,” Taylor said. “But that path has created a movement that young people are going to lead.”

Long-Distance Relationships

ANNA WELCH sex columnist

Maintaining a relationship in college can be tricky; maintaining a long-distance relationship, or LDR, while in college can be even trickier. That being said, we are incredibly lucky to live when we do because the technological age has made it easier than ever before to have a long-distance love.

Technology definitely helps, but it’s not the beall end-all for a healthy LDR. No matter if hunny lives across the state or across the globe, there are some universal ways to be like Tim Gunn and make it work.

First, start every day by blasting Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye’s hit song “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” preferably while dancing in your undies.

That’s it, perfect LDR achieved. All jokes aside, it’s important to first…

Have a plan Have a plan of expectations for both long-term and everyday. That plan can include a wide range of things like “We’re going to video chat every Sunday,” or “We are going to visit each other once a month.”

“Physical touch is one of the strongest forms of communication we have.”

While there’s no limit to what to plan, there are a few crucial components. Those components include how long the long-distance will last, how often and in what ways communication will happen and what both partners want, as far as sex and intimacy go.

It may feel a bit robotic to put parameters like these on a relationship, but in order to stay on the same page and maintain healthy communication it’s crucial to have open discussions about details that will inevitably come up.

“I thought of you’s” When you think of something you want to

tell them, write it down on a piece of paper, in your phone or wherever. It could be something funny a professor said or an adorable puppy on the street; anything that makes you want to share it with the one you like-like.

Then, set up a time to share those things with them. It could be sending them as a list in a text at the end of the day, or maybe collecting them throughout the week and then reading them during a weekly video chat.

normally get from going on dates.

Some ideas for activities are watching the same movie at the same time, reading the same book or listening to a full album separately/together.

Bonus tip: For a sexy activity try FaceTiming or video chatting while shopping for sex toys either online or in-person. Help each other pick toys either for yourselves or to use the next time you see each other. This will help foster that date-like intimate feeling while also creating some sexy anticipation.

Speaking of sexy avtivities…

“Writing erotica for or about each other can be a great way to release some tension.”

Keep it sexy For many people in LDRs, not being able to touch their partner is one of their biggest challenges. Physical touch is one of the strongest forms of communication we have.

It allows us to show when we’re sad, feeling lovey and, of course, feeling turned on.

No matter what strategy a couple chooses, the important part is having a system setup for creating a sense of normalcy in the relationship.

It may seem silly to take the time to collect these little moments and send them later, why not just send them as they happen? It’s important for a few reasons.

First, as with any type of healthy relationship, maintaining space is crucial.

Setting aside specific time to focus on one another (whether that is a phone call, video chatting, etc.), will allow both people to live their independent lives while staying invested in the relationship.

Second, if a couple is in constant communication via technology, the quality time they set aside will be less satisfying. Keeping a record of all the little moments when a love bug came to mind will have a more impactful effect when shared collectively.

I’m not saying to stop oneself from reaching out to a partner when the urge arises, but rather to try and be thoughtful about when and how often you’re reaching out.

Do something separately/together Talking on the phone or video chatting is great, but the whole reason people “go steady” in the first place is because they enjoy doing things together. Choosing an activity to do together can help partners maintain the sense of connectedness they might

“Technology definitely helps, but it’s not the beall end-all for a healthy LDR.”

Writing erotica for or about each other can be a great way to release some tension and maintain an intimate connection.

Writing your own erotica can be intimidating, so start with the basics.

Spend some time thinking about what you would like to do to your partner or what you would like your partner to do to you.

Once the basics of the scenario have developed, you can have some fun adding details to the story, like referening sexy things you have done with your partner in the past that you both loved, or maybe even an inside joke or two.

If you don’t feel comfortable writing your own erotica, you can always leave it to the professionals and buy a book or find something online. Either read it to them in real time, leave it on their voicemail, etc.

Who knows, maybe reading other people’s work will inspire your own!

This wouldn’t be an article about long-distance relationships if we didn’t talk about phone or

Skype sex; both are great methods for getting sexy with hunny buns, and each provides a slightly different experience.

“Inevitably, there are going to be things about LDRs that are frustrating, as there are with all types of relationships.”

Phone sex can be fun because it leaves more to the imagination, and it can be a good starter for people in LDRs that are fairly new. Just like with writing erotica, it can be helpful to start by describing what you are doing to yourself, or to describe what you would be doing to them if you were together.

Video chatting or Skype sex is great for visual pleasure and intimacy. It’s important to feel totally comfortable before getting into it. Try to eliminate all distractions. Some people find that starting with phone sex and transitioning to Skype sex helps them feel more comfortable and sexy. There’s no wrong way to approach it; whatever gets you both turned on is the right way.

Playing a game can be a really fun way to get things rolling for either phone or Skype sex. There are tons of sexy games for couples out there. Try going to a sex shop or shopping online.

Shopping in-person and asking for advice from the store’s employees is generally the best way to go.

Speaking of sex stores, there are more and more long-distance sex toys coming on the market.

Again, it is best to actually go to a store and ask for advice as they are experts. Some great local options with very helpful, professional staff are A Woman’s Touch on Livingston Street in Madison and the Tool Shed in Milwaukee.

It’s also important to remember that sexual touch is not the only benefit of a relationship, most relationships also provide lots of platonic (non-sexual) touch as well. Folks in LDRs may find that getting plenty of hugs from friends helps provide some of that platonic touch that they’re missing out on.

Be willing to reevaluate If there’s something that’s not working, address it and talk about possible solutions. Maybe calling every day is unrealistic and causing stress for one or both partners; be willing to bring it up and offer ideas of what could work better.

In the same way that writing down “I thought of you’s” can be helpful, writing down things you do not intend to share can help too.

Inevitably, there are going to be things about LDRs that are frustrating, as there are with all types of relationships.

Take the time to write down the things that are sad or frustrating. Actually saying “It sucks that you’re not here right now because I need you to be,” to a partner may not help anything, but putting it on paper and making it real for oneself might.

It’s OK to have doubts and to be sad sometimes; the important part is not bottling it up.

After writing down the things that aren’t going well, go back and try to think of possible solutions. This way, when you’re ready to bring it up to your partner they will feel like you are trying to keep your relationship strong, rather than pointing out its weaknesses.

Summary Long-distance relationships pose some challenges, but if both partners are willing to put in the work and practice intense honesty about what’s working and what’s not, it is absolutely doable. Develop a plan and, within that plan, develop systems for how you’re going to make it work. Dedicate time for doing things separately/ together, and hell yes that includes time for sextivities. Most importantly, when something isn’t working address it as soon as possible and as lovingly as possible.

Election results must be respected SAMANTHA WILCOX opinion columnist

PHOTO COURTESY OF CREATIVE COMMONS-GAGE SKIDMORE

Donald Trump’s unprecedented triumph in the presidential election will cause many Democrats to reexamine their strategies in future campaigns.

Many questions remain after Trump’s presidential victory THOMAS RADEMACHER opinion columnist President-elect Donald Trump. That’s not something I thought I’d ever have to come to terms with. During his campaign, Trump probably insulted more people than any other presidential nominee in American history ... and yet he still won. How did he do it?

How did this happen?

Ever since the results were in, I’ve heard people blame the Electoral College, racists, angry white guys, conspiracy theorists and third parties. I’ll admit, I too have thought about these as potential paths leading to Trump’s victory. However, I now realize that none of them get to the heart of the matter or root of the problem. Yes, there are angry white guys and racists who voted for Trump. Yes, Gary Johnson and Jill Stein may have played a role. And yes, Hillary Clinton did win the popular vote. But none of that matters!

“In every case, in every way we can, we need to lift our voices and say that racism will not be tolerated here at the UW.”

There have always been angry white racists who can vote, third parties often take a small percentage of the votes and there have been multiple occasions where the presidentelect lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College. None

of these phenomena are new!

I think it is fair to say that this election was different from any other one in our history. That means, old ways of thinking and reasoning are not going to suffice. That’s why I am proposing (in no particular order) a different set of explanations that aren’t discussed as much, and may be hard to come to terms with.

Number One: The two-party system is broken and Trump (being the political outsider) is seen by many as the guy to fix it. Voting for the lesser of two evils was a popular phrase going around this past election cycle. “Why were we forced to vote for a lesser of two evils?” you might ask. Because that’s what our two-party system produced for us. One Republican and one Democrat.

In my opin- ion, we either need to have multiple political parties that hold sway in America or none. Political parties do not stand for the people; they stand for themselves.

Nowhere in the Constitution does it mention anything about political parties. Our first President George Washington even warned us of the dangers of political parties—maybe we should have taken his advice.

The Democratic Party is especially broken and needs a fresh set of leaders if it wants to move forward. I had thought that the Republican Party was in shambles with Trump on the top of its ticket. Boy, was I wrong.

Republicans now control the House, Senate and Presidency, as well as state governments across the country. It was a total defeat of the Democratic Party.

And all this leaves establish-

ment Democrats wondering: How did this happen? Maybe it’s because they corruptly used the Democratic National Committee and undemocratic superdelegates to support one of the most unpopular candidates in history.

Number Two: Antiestablishment is in. This one factors into my previous point that the two-party system is broken. Year after year politicians run for office promising us the world. We diligently give them our vote, and what do we get in return? Broken promises and failed policies. Then the next election rolls around and a new set of promises are made. This is a never-ending cycle. This is particularly true of Republicans over the past eight years. Many Republicans have been left extremely unhappy with an Obama presidency and the belief that their leaders are incompetent. A vote for Trump is like giving the middle finger to establishment politicians who have failed their constituents.

Number Three: People don’t like Hillary. OK, so this one isn’t exactly new; I’ve heard it a lot. It’s important enough to point out though, and Trump used it against her masterfully in the election. He painted her as crooked and corrupt and it wasn’t exactly hard for him to do either. She brought along a lot of baggage with her, whether it was Benghazi, her emails or the Clinton Foundation.

You could argue that Trump was more unlikeable than Clinton, but at least he had an incredibly enthusiastic base that followed him through hell and high water all the way to the polls. Bernie Sanders had

this in the primary election too, but Clinton failed to arouse the same kind of passion in her Democratic base as Bernie did.

Number Four: Trade deals and the Midwest. Trump consistently bashed trade deals as being terrible for Americans while claiming he would bring jobs back. He also won every single Midwestern state except Minnesota and Illinois.

Like it or not, a large section of our own states’ populations are hurting and unhappy.

Hurting because the middle class is shrinking and unhappy because they feel that globalization has left them behind. Trump didwhathehadtodotowinthe Rust Belt and bashing trade deals was a big part of his success.

There are many other explanations that could be cited to explain Trump’s victory, including a rural/urban divide, lack of voter turnout or sexism. But no matter how you spin it, Trump won. This is what we get for living in a democracy. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, but no matter what happens we are all still Americans and we better stop fighting and start working together—before we tear ourselves apart.

Instead of channeling anger into hate, we should channel it into finding a way to work together with the Republicans, in ways they did not do with us over the past eight years.

Thomas is a senior majoring in psychology and history.

What do you think is the reason for Clinton’s loss? Where do you think the Democratic Party should go from here? Please send all comments, questions and concerns on this matter to opinion@dailycardinal.com.

Ever since election night, Democrats in our country have been in uproar. Protests have erupted across the nation, with people denouncing Donald Trump’s message loud and clear. The hashtag #NotMyPresident has gone viral and social media has become a place of hate between people with differing political opinions. Our country seems more divided than ever.

Many young Democrats and other protesters claim that their hostile reaction to Trump’s win is justified, especially considering the flak that Barack Obama has received from Republicans over the last eight years.

Throughout Obama’s two terms, the GOP caused absolute mayhem in Washington, even leading to a government shutdown of 16 days.

Whether it be filibustering Obama’s nominations to office or passing a record-low number of bills during a session of congress, Republicans did not resolve their differences with Obama’s policy in a manner that was constructive for our country.

But do two wrongs make a right?

Democrats are spewing caustic hate toward the supporters of Trump right now, and that is completely unjustified. A man in Chicago was brutally beaten by an angry mob because they suspected he was a Trump supporter. Whether or not someone agrees with you politically, it is unacceptable to let your anger get to the point that it results in violence.

Social media has also become a place where Democrats are blaming all Republicans for being sexist, racist and more. However, not all Republicans support all parts of Trump’s message.

There was more than just the Presidency riding on this election; the future of the Supreme Court was also in the hands of the election.

Many conservatives swallowed their pride and voted for Trump in order to ensure that the Supreme Court would keep a conservative influence.

Voting is the basic right of Americans. In an election as contentious and important as this one, there is bound to be unrest and controversy between sides. However, nobody should be persecuted for exercising their right to vote, regardless of who they voted for. As Michelle Obama famously said in her speech at July’s Democratic National Convention, “When they go low, we go high.”

It is so easy to let the anger and fear get in the way, but that cannot happen. I am not against peaceful protest, nor am I promoting standing idly by. There are many platforms within the Trump campaign that are socially appalling and that need to be protested against.

However, it is beyond hypocritical to justify protests and hostility on the actions of Republicans over Obama’s term in office. Instead of letting our country continue to be a place of political gridlock, we should all work together to find a solution that works for everyone.

Clifton shines in Big Ten-Team USA meet

By Kelly Ward THE DAILY CARDINAL

When the event lists were released for the USA College Challenge, it was surprising to see senior Cannon Clifton in only one event, the 100-yard freestyle.

But swimming in just the one event proved to be an advantage for Clifton this weekend, as he showed his speed en route to a third-place individual finish and a game-changing split on the Big Ten’s winning 400-yard freestyle relay.

Saturday in individual competition, Clifton swam a 43.62, which ranks ninth in the nation.

The only current college swimmer that passed him was Indiana junior and Olympic gold medalist Blake Pieroni, who was a little over a second faster.

Sunday, Clifton joined up with Pieroni, Indiana senior Anze Tavcar and Penn State senior Shane Ryan for the 400yard freestyle relay. Clifton, the only non-Olympian on the relay squad, outswam 17-year-old professional Michael Andrew on the third leg with a split of 42.93. Before Clifton jumped in the water, the Big Ten was trailing to the National Team by over a second. After a scary fast anchor leg from Ryan, the Big

Cannon Clifton showed off his ability in a friendly meet between the top swimmers from the Big Ten conference and Team USA. Ten won the relay with a time of 2:50.81.

Clifton was one of six Badgers in action during the two-day meet. Several other UW swimmers were equally as successful as Clifton.

Senior Matt Hutchins once again proved that he is a serious contender for the national title in the 500-yard freestyle Saturday after putting up a mark of 4:16.33, the top time

in the NCAA this year. This was one of the most exciting races of the meet, with the New Zealand Olympian going stroke for stroke with Auburn grad Zane Grothe the entire way, but coming up four-tenths of a second short of the victory.

Senior Brett Pinfold had to swim a tough double Sunday, with both the 200-yard freestyle and 200-yard individual medley coming about 20 minutes apart.

The pressure of two grueling races almost back-to-back did not faze Pinfold, as he grabbed a pair of sixth-place finishes that were both season-bests and national top-20 times.

Sophomore Cierra Runge swam to a seventh-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle Sunday with a time of 1:46.96.

Her season-best time ranks 11th in the country this year.

Runge was also in action Saturday, leading off the runnerup 800-yard freestyle relay that also featured sophomore Siobhán Haughey and junior Gabby DeLoof from Michigan and Indiana junior Kennedy Goss.

A pair of Badgers went head-to-head in the 50-yard freestyle Sunday, with senior Chase Kinney finishing sixth with a time of 22.74 and freshman Beata Nelson, who made her collegiate debut in the event, finishing eighth with a 24.11 mark.

Saturday, Kinney and Nelson also swam to a pair of eighthplace finishes in the 100-yard freestyle and 100-yard butterfly, respectively.

The Badgers will be back in action Thursday as the divers travel to Columbia, Mfor the three-day Mizzou Diving Invitational.

Mondays with Rasty: Chaos in Week 10 helps Badgers ZACH RASTALL

make it rasty While most of the college football landscape descended into sheer chaos this past weekend, the Badgers held serve at home in convincing fashion.

A Wisconsin football team beating an Illinois team coached

by Lovie Smith isn’t exactly uncharted territory. But UW fans haven’t experienced many low-stress wins over clearly inferior opponents due to the team’s meat grinder of a schedule. The Badgers ran the ball at will, neither Alex Hornibrook nor Bart Houston made any colossal mistakes and the defense remained stout in a 48-3 drubbing of the Fighting Illini.

It was a very solid victory for the Badgers, but what transpired across the country surely grabbed the attention of Wisconsin fans (and all other college football fans for that matter).

Three top-five teams—No. 2 Michigan, No. 3 Clemson and No. 4 Washington­—all fell victim to November college football chaos on Saturday, opening the door to a myriad of possibilities in the College Football Playoff discussion. A nightmarish scenario could be awaiting the CFP committee at the end of the regular season, with Wisconsin possibly playing a starring role.

Of Saturday’s upsets, obviously Michigan’s loss is the one that could have the most direct effect on Wisconsin. Naturally, it was Kirk Ferentz, the college football

coach equivalent of a stamp collection, and the Hawkeyes that took down Jim Harbaugh’s Wolverines.

There could be no other way.

While the loss was obviously a setback for Michigan, it still controls its own destiny to the Big Ten Championship Game. However, if the Wolverines fall to Ohio State in Columbus, Iowa’s win has created the opportunity for Penn State to win the Big Ten East.

Meanwhile, the Buckeyes need the Nittany Lions to lose to either Rutgers or Michigan State to have any shot at a trip to Indianapolis.

Thanks to this past weekend’s chaos, the Badgers’ chances of winning the Big Ten shot up from 15.7 percent to 36.4 percent, according to ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI). As of now, FPI has Wisconsin as the slight favorite to capture the conference crown.

The reason for this is fairly simple: The Badgers only need to beat Purdue and Minnesota to win the Big Ten West, games in which they’re the clear favorite.

Meanwhile, Penn State will be heavily favored against both the Scarlet Knights and the Spartans and FPI favors Ohio State against Michigan. Therefore, WisconsinPenn State is the likeliest matchup in the Big Ten Championship Game, a game where the Badgers would be the favorite.

So what does this all mean for Wisconsin’s College Football Playoff hopes? It could actually end up being significant.

If Wisconsin were to beat either Michigan or Ohio State in a rematch in Indianapolis, the Badgers would almost certainly earn a spot in the playoff, no questions asked. An 11-2 Wisconsin team that won the Big Ten title

after enduring one of the toughest schedules in all of college football and then redeeming one of those two losses would have to be in.

However, there is a chance that wouldn’t be the case if they were to beat Penn State in the Big Ten Championship Game.

One hypothetical scenario: Alabama wins out to go 14-0 with an SEC title, Clemson wins out to go 13-1 with an ACC title, Washington wins out to go 13-1 with a Pac-12 title, Wisconsin wins out and beats Penn State to go 11-2 with a Big Ten title and Ohio State sits at 11-1 but with no division title.

In the aforementioned scenario, I think it’s clear that Alabama and Clemson would both be locks, while the committee would have to decide to fill the final two spots between Washington, Wisconsin and Ohio State. My guess would be Washington gets in and the decision ultimately comes down to the Badgers and the Buckeyes for the right to get steamrolled

by Alabama.

So who gets the call? My prediction would be Wisconsin, but I say that with almost no confidence at all. The committee seems to place a pretty heavy emphasis on conference titles, but we only have two years of data to work with and this would be a tough test of that standard.

Wisconsin’s résumé would be an 11-2 record, a Big Ten title, wins over LSU, Nebraska and Penn State and seven-point losses to Ohio State and Michigan.

Ohio State’s résumé would be an 11-1 record, wins over Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Michigan but no division title. It

Would style points matter?

Wisconsin got a glimpse firsthand of what a blowout victory can do to a team’s playoff résumé in the 2014 Big Ten Championship Game, where Ohio State won 59-0 on its way to a national title. So the margin of victory might matter in each team’s final games.

Of course, this is just one hypothetical scenario for the College Football Playoff. There are countless others, many that include Wisconsin and many that don’t.

The Badgers could get stunned by Minnesota or lose to Penn State in Indianapolis and render the whole thing moot for Wisconsin fans. There’s still a ton of games left to be played, and nothing is guaranteed in college football, especially in November.

That said, it looks like the College Football Playoff might be embroiled in controversy this year, and the Badgers could be at the center of it all.

Musso had two picks Saturday.

Musso, Dixon lead Badger defense in drubbing of Fighting Illini

By Lorin Cox THE DAILY CARDINAL

Senior Wisconsin cornerback Sojourn Shelton plays a lot of FIFA, and no one is happier about that than senior safety Leo Musso.

Shelton said he channeled his inner Cristiano Ronaldo as he tipped a pass and kicked it up into the air over his head and into the hands of Musso for the interception late in the second quarter of the Badgers’ 48-3 win over the Illinois Fighting Illini (2-5 Big Ten, 3-7 overall).

“It was planned,” the veteran cornerback joked. “Shoot, it hit me in my facemask, it came down, and my leg just went with it.”

Musso backed up Shelton’s story. The two defensive backs had big smiles on their faces after Wisconsin (5-2, 8-2) intercepted Illinois redshirt freshman quarterback Jeff George Jr. four times in the first half, the third coming off of Shelton’s foot.

“We planned that, we practiced that and we executed it perfectly,” Musso said. “If there’s an assist category, he definitely deserves that. He just kind of kicked it up for me, so that made my job pretty easy.”

Musso made everyone else’s job pretty easy with his two picks in the first half, as both put his offense near midfield to start their drives. His first interception set up the Badgers with their fourth-straight touchdown-scoring series over the first two quarters, allowing them to pull away for a 31-3 halftime lead.

Junior safety D’Cota Dixon started the turnover-fest halfway through the first quarter as George Jr. overthrew his favorite target this season, junior wide receiver Malik Turner. The young quarterback showed the safety where he was going to throw the ball and made it an easy interception.

“I was just looking at the quarterback’s eyes,” Dixon said. “He stared at him the whole way, which is a gift for a safety, so it worked out perfect.”

Just about everything seemed to work out perfectly for Wisconsin’s defense as they kept Illinois out of the end zone and forced them to make a quarterback change at halftime. The Fighting Illini gained only 200 total yards of offense in the game, and the Badgers did not

Badgers lose in championship, await NCAA tournament fate

By Isaiah de Los Santos THE DAILY CARDINAL

The Badgers’ Big Ten title hopes came crashing down Sunday afternoon, as the No. 1 ranked Maryland Terrapins prevailed in a closely contested 2-1 match.

These two teams battled to overtime the last time they played Oct. 14, with Wisconsin (4-2-2 Big Ten, 11-4-4 overall) giving the Terps (7-0-1 Big Ten, 19-0-2 overall) all they could handle, which was foreign for Maryland who coasted through many of their 19 wins. But, the Terrapins prevailed with a goal in the early stages of overtime, leaving a bitter taste in the mouths of head coach John Trask’s team and setting up a possible revenge scenario. The Badgers got that chance in the biggest game of the season.

Maryland set the tone for the game early as sophomore forward DJ Reeves sent an endline strike past Badgers’ redshirt junior keeper Philipp Schilling in just the second minute. With that goal, Wisconsin was rushed into an attacking mode early on, something they have been able to excel at over the course of the season.

That early offensive power

the Badgers needed for an equalizer came via two staples of the offense all season: junior forwards Christopher Mueller and Tom Barlow.

Ten minutes after the Terps’ goal, Mueller found Barlow with a ball in the box and Barlow finished to even the score at one.

“Great goal by us to get back in it and make it 1-1,” Trask said. “[Barlow has] been a force all season long.”

But Maryland did not quit, earning a corner with three minutes left in the half and capitalizing. Sophomore midfielder Jorge Calix was the trigger man, placing the corner with supreme accuracy to sophomore forward Sebastian Elney, who beat Schilling for the decisive second goal.

The Badgers’ efforts were not halted by the deficit in the second half, but nothing came to fruition and Maryland clinched its third straight Big Ten Championship— all coming since the school joined the Big Ten in 2014.

“Congratulations to the Maryland team and their staff to go undefeated in the regular season,” Trask said. “They’re an excellent team.”

Christopher Muller assisted the Badgers’ lone goal Sunday.

The Badgers now turn their sights to the NCAA Tournament, as the verdict on Wisconsin’s fate will come down Monday at noon.

“There are no guarantees,” Trask said. “[But we] only lost to Maryland, the No. 1 team in the tournament and country, twice

since September.”

Wisconsin has made a statement in the Big Ten tournament, and throughout the season, but if the season is over, it will not be looked as a shortcoming, but a stepping stone to the future for Trask and the Badgers.

allow them to convert a single third-down opportunity.

No one on the defense was ready to call it a perfect performance, but it was another step in the right direction for a team trying to fight its way into the Big Ten Championship game and maybe impress the College Football Playoff Committee enough to go even further.

“Something we haven’t always been good at this year on defense is taking advantage of those opportunities to get some turnovers,” said redshirt sophomore linebacker Ryan Connelly, who snagged the team’s fourth interception of the game. “When they were presented today, we took advantage, so that was good to see.”

All of the defensive players said turnovers were the emphasis at practice this week, since they were not satisfied with having only 10 interceptions as a group in their first nine games. George Jr. obliged and practically gift-wrapped some of his throws to red jerseys.

“Everybody was catching Christmas gifts, really,” Shelton said. “We were creating turnovers and what we like to call in our DB room your ‘Madden return rating.’

I think D’Cota’s return rating went up a little bit, and Musso’s went up a little bit as well.”

Between FIFA and Madden, Wisconsin’s four-interception defensive performance really did seem to come straight out of a video game. The Badgers dominated for 76985 four quarters, and Illinois was left blaming the controller.
