Audit finds UW has no formal plans for funds UW-Madison holds millions in ‘undocumented’ revenue balances An audit of the University of Wisconsin System released Nov. 15 revealed that no documented plans exist for 40.7 percent of UW-Madison’s 2012 program revenue balances. These balances are funds held by universities that draw from sources such as tuition after expenditures are subtracted. The majority of this money is committed in some way to future uses. The audit, conducted by the Legislative Audit Bureau, focused on $755.4 million of the $1.05 billion in the 2012 system balances. This came from sources such as tuition revenues that did not have restricted uses. At UW-Madison, $112.4 million of the $276 million in revenue balances are undocumented, meaning either the plan for its use is unavailable or no plan currently exists. System-wide, 18.8 percent of
funds are labeled as undocumented. These funds come from academic student fees, such as tuition, and federal money used to administer research grant programs. In a letter responding to the report, UW System President Kevin Reilly said UW-Madison had accumulated the federal funds “as a hedge against potential declines in federal research revenue” and would need to use them to compensate for the recent decline in federal funding. Many legislators were angered by the April 2013 revelation that the UW system held over $1 billion in program revenue balances, especially because the UW System Board of Regents had voted consistently to raise tuition for years. In response, the state Legislature mandated the annual audit of program revenue balances along with sanctions including a two-year tuition freeze. Initial analysis of 2013 balances show program revenue balances have increased by 16.3 percent, but the bureau was unable to examine how the money is committed because the report was compiled before data was available. A second phase of the report will look at 2012-’13 financial statements. —Tamar Myers

Gov. Scott Walker sent a letter Friday to the US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew and US Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius seeking to extend BadgerCare.
State, federal legislators respond to possible BadgerCare extension Several state and Wisconsin federal legislators have reacted to Gov. Scott Walker’s plan to extend BadgerCare coverage three months in light of technical glitches in the implementation of the Affordable Care Act online health insurance marketplaces. Walker said he would call a special legislative session to extend the BadgerCare deadline from Jan. 1 to March 31, which would allow enrollees to sign up for ACA insurance plans by the March 31 federal deadline. U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson,
R-Wis., commended Walker in a statement Friday for acting “quickly and swiftly” to protect Wisconsinites’ interests. “The governor is doing whatever he can to spare citizens of our state from the consequences of the Obama administration’s failure,” Johnson said in the statement. In a letter to U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Walker said only 877 Wisconsinites have
STUDENT PROFILE
Melberg matched for bone marrow donation By Megan Stoebig THE DAILY CARDINAL
When University of WisconsinMadison junior Cal Melberg attended a bone marrow registry drive at his girlfriend’s request, he had no idea he would soon be making a donation that could hopefully save a woman’s life. Melberg attended the drive hosted by UW-Madison organization Student Emergency Medical Services in May 2013, and four months later he received a call from a man in New York notifying him his bone marrow was a potential match for a woman with a condition known as preleukemia. He added Melberg would have to go through a series of injections in the coming months and asked whether he was still interested in donating. Despite the painful medical procedures he
would endure, Melberg decided he was definitely still interested in moving forward. Later, he was told he had about a 10 percent chance of being a perfect match. Once the program that sponsors the registry drive, Delete Blood Cancer DKMS, identifies someone as a match, they then double check that nothing in the donor’s marrow could cause the recipient to reject it, Melberg explained. About a month later, he heard back from DKMS and discovered he was a perfect match. He also said there is an opportunity a year after the donation, if both are healthy, to exchange contact information with the recipient. Melberg said he would “love to meet the person he was matched

New John Doe case to probe Walker team Gov. Scott Walker’s recall campaign and more than two dozen conservative groups received subpoenas for documents regarding the 2011 and 2012 recall from a Milwaukee special prosecutor, according to a Wall Street Journal opinion editorial Friday. The investigation is taking place under Wisconsin’s John Doe law, which bars subpoena targets from disclosing the court order’s contents to anyone but his or her attorneys. The prosecutor is requesting records of email correspondence and other communications between the subpoena target and the conservative groups, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Guide to sex toys, part II: gettin’ kinky with it
edit@dailycardinal.com
tODAY: partly sunny
Alex tucker sex columnist
L
ast week, we covered dildos and vibrators, but I got a lot of email requests to talk more about things we like to call “sensation” or “kinky” toys. Sensation toys are anything we can use on our bodies to create sensations that we couldn’t stimulate in other ways. Sensations range from gentle to painful and everywhere in between. As we can probably tell, this category covers a lot of material, so let’s get to it!
Impact Play
The first thing most people think of when they hear “sensation toys” is impact play. Impact objects come into contact with different parts of the body to create feelings of pleasure and pain. Additionally, impact toys can create power differentials between the person with whose body the object connects and the person in control of the object. For example, a person hitting another person with a paddle may be causing the “bottom” (person being hit) a lot of pain and/or pleasure. Because the “top” (person with the paddle) is in control of when the bottom is hit and how hard, they are in some ways holding power over the bottom.
Sensation toys are anything we can use on our bodies to create sensations that we couldn’t stimulate in other ways. Because people who use impact toys—or any “kink” activities—responsibly often have safe words or “stop now” communication systems, the bottom can also experience an empowering feeling because they have the ability to stop the play whenever they choose. Win-win situation! Types of impact include sting-y and thuddy. To stimulate a sting-y feeling, we can take two fingers and smack our opposite forearm with a quick follow through several times in a row. For a thuddy sensation, we can simply hit our open palm hard against our forearm and leave it there to let the impact resonate on our skin. Let’s get to the toys: Impact toys are anything with which we can hit each other. There are hundreds of different objects we can use for this, but today I’ll talk about floggers, canes and paddles.
Floggers: Floggers, or cats o’ nine tails, look like “an inside-out umbrella shredded into many pieces,” according to my cutest roommate. Most people think floggers are whips. However, whips break the sound barriers and floggers just offer some flexibility and will not break skin when used properly. Floggers can deliver a sting-y sensation if we hit ourselves or our partners with just the tips of the lines or a thuddy sensation if we aim the center of the cords to come into contact with our target area of skin. Canes/Crops: Canes and crops come in a variety of materials and designs. Canes look like plastic or fiberglass rods and are usually about the width of two pencils and the length of three. I like to call them light sabers. Waaaaaaaaawha. When we think of crops, we usually picture a riding crop we would use on horses during races. While that is super accurate for sexytime toys as well, crops come in shapes different from the square leather shape we often imagine. Some crops even have leather or plastic hearts for hitting our boos. The possibilities are endless. When we use canes and crops, we are almost always experiencing a thuddy sensation. Both of these kinds of toys can pack a serious punch, so we should be sure to try them out before we, you know, try them out. Paddles: Not just for hazing! Paddles can be super sexy for creating redness and drawing blood to the surface of skin, making that area much more sensitive. Paddles come in wood, plastic and leather to name a few. Some have designs that can leave marks on our skin (hearts, smiley faces or even dirty words), and others have holes throughout to increase the aerodynamics of the paddle. So, where can we use impact toys? We should always aim for meatier parts of the body and stay away from all major organs. Hitting places like the butt and thighs can be great—the cushion for the pushin’ works well in this arena. We can also focus on our partner’s shoulders and back as long as we understand exactly where the kidneys are and how we can avoid hitting them.
Restriction Toys
So now that we know how to hit people, we need to know how to tie them up, writes a sex columnist who’s bad at transitions. In reality, restriction toys are extremely diverse. Ropes
are only one way to restrict blood flow to a person’s skin and heighten that area’s sensitivity. Because I covered bondage in an earlier column (check out dailycardinal.com for the full story), today I’ll be focusing on cock rings, clamps, suction cups and blindfolds.
edge of one’s own body. Nipple clamps serve more than one purpose: They keep nipples erect, or hard. They simulate the feeling of biting, which many people enjoy. They can be used on people of any gender! They look super, super sexy. Many nipple clamps come on a chain, and some have super fun designs, including feathers and colors and jewelry that can enhance the look of our nipple clamps. The perfect bedroom accessory!

Cock rings: Designed to be worn around the cock and balls, cock rings allegedly help keep blood in the penis and delay ejaculation. They come in tons of different designs, from metal rings to leather with snaps to “with clit stimulators” to vibrating. Bzzzzzz. It is recommended that first-time users choose an option with snaps or a fastner that tightens and loosens. If we find we don’t like the feeling of a cock ring, something we can cut off or unsnap will be much easier to take off than a metal ring. Cock rings are sold in drugstores, but we can also use an everyday hair tie or rubber band. Just make sure the wearer is comfortable in whatever we’re using. Clamps: Clamps are for nipples! Primarily, anyway. However, clamps can also be used on the scrotum and perineum, with a lot of practice and an extensive knowl-
A flogger, or a cat o’ nine tails (above), is an example of an impact toy. When we’re using clamps, we should make sure to wear them for a maximum of 20 to 30 minutes. Any longer and we risk bruising or longer-lasting injury. Suction cups: Suction cups work like hickeys—they bring blood to the skin and create super sensitive areas on the skin. Some suction cups are designed for certain parts of the body, such as the penis, nipples and clitoris, but they can be used on butt cheeks, thighs and arms as well for tingly feelings there. Nipple and clit “pumps” or suction cups raise and redden skin. Penis “pumps” do the same thing. They draw blood to the area and can enhance our sexual experiences with ourselves or with others.

State Assembly passes election reform bills The state Assembly passed a package of election reform bills in a late-night session Thursday, including a bill that would provide limited exemptions from the 2011 Voter ID Law. The package also includes bills that would standardize absentee voting, limit recall elections, establish voting procedures for residential care facilities and eliminate the requirement that election officials tally “joke” write-in votes on election night. “I am pleased that the state Assembly approved a package of reforms today that will strengthen the integrity of our elections in Wisconsin,” Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, said in a statement Friday. State Rep. Andy Jorgenson, D-Milton, criticized Assembly Republicans in a statement Thursday, saying they participated in “voter suppression” with voter ID limitations. “[O]ur final day of session revolved around the interests of a Majority so set on maintaining their grip on power that they have no qualms about undoing Wisconsin’s proud legacy of good government and clean elections,” Jorgenson said in the statement.

When asked about the most successful part of the event, both presidents, Ting Lei of the Taiwanese Undergraduate Students Association and Jeffery Xie recalled a moment toward the end of the night when the only Taiwanese male participant and the only American female participant walked down the aisle hand in hand. “It’s like telling the world that love knows no borders, even though they might not call it love yet,” Xie said. UW-Madison sophomore Chandler Davis, who is currently learning Chinese, spoke and learned Mandarin on the stage to help show his appreciation for Chinese culture and history. “Facing the challenge of language barrier shows participants’ patience and effort,” Aaron Zheng, one of the hosts said.

Forbes lists UW center among top spots for high tech startups Forbes Magazine listed the MGE Innovation Center within the University of Wisconsin-Madison Research Park as a top hotbed for high tech startups Friday. The MGE Innovation Center was recorded on Forbes’ list of “12 Business Incubators Changing the World,” which contained the “top breeding grounds” for compelling hightech startups, based on trends in funding for private companies, according to a release. The Innovation Center acts as an incubator for businesses in the earliest stage of development, according to Interim
University Research Park Director Greg Hyer. The University of WisconsinMadison founded the University Research Park in 1984 and is now home to more than 126 companies that employ 3,500 people. The rankings were based on data from CB Insights, a New York-based firm that tracks venture capital, private equity and government-supported deals. “Madison, because of the university, has always had great technology,” Hyer said in the release. “Now, it’s beginning to get the established management talent and that begins to build on itself.”
A University of MadisonWisconsin student who was returning from a hunting trip, caused several neighbors to report a gunman in the Mifflin neighborhood Saturday morning, according to a Madison police report. The university first alerted students about a white male in his 20s, his face painted black, allegedly walking near the 600 block of West Mifflin Street carrying a shotgun. Police tracked down the student at approximately 10:02 a.m. on the 500 block of West Main
Street, according to the report. The student then explained he was hunting outside the city and was walking with the exposed shotgun because he was unable to park closer to his home. “The individual never pointed his weapon at anyone nor did he make any threats,” Lt. Stephanie Wilson said in the report. “The public was not at any risk.” The Madison Police Department have not arrested the student or issued him any citations because he cooperated with officers, according to the report.

LL Cool J made waves with ‘Radio’ Sean Reichard quip quo pro
N
ov. 18, 326: St. Peter’s Basilica (the first one) is consecrated. Nov. 18, 1626: St. Peter’s Basilica (the new one) is consecrated. Nov. 18, 1836: W.S. Gilbert, of Gilbert and Sullivan, is born. Nov. 18, 1865: Mark Twain publishes “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” under the title, “Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog.” Nov. 18, 1922: Marcel Proust dies. Nov. 18, 1928: “Steamboat Willie” is released. Nov. 18, 1939: Margaret Atwood, Canadian writer, is born. Nov. 18, 1953: Alan Moore is born. Nov. 18, 1985: LL Cool J releases Radio.
[Cool J] raps fast, he raps hard. He wasn’t the first hip-hop artist, but he damn well isn’t going to let that stop him.
Some pieces of media change their own medium. “Steamboat Willie” wasn’t the first cartoon made with “synchronized sound” but it blew every prior cartoon out of the water. W.S. Gilbert wasn’t the first comic librettist, but his Savoy operas with Arthur Sullivan are nigh incomparable. Marcel Proust wasn’t the first novelist to grace the world, but no one wrote novels like his novels. Radio wasn’t the first hip-hop album, but it signaled a substantive shift in hip hop’s course. Radio is considered a
crest in the wave of “newschool hip hop” that began inundating the mainstream, along with Run-D.M.C. (1984) and “Rock Hard” by Beastie Boys. It was (almost) a direct rebuttal of the groove-driven, disco-styled rap made before 1985. In lieu of instrumental fullness, artists like Cool J maneuvered through stark drum-machine beats, with turntable scratches and guitar chords bursting like bombs all around. Rick Rubin helmed production for Radio and it’s very archetypal for him. Given the contentions he’s sparked as a seeming soldier in the “loudness war,” his work with hip hop artists like Cool J and others is still sufficient foundation for his standing as one of the most important producers of the past 30 years. People have called Radio “bare” and “skeletal,” but really it’s toned. It’s got muscle. What makes Radio all the more amazing is the fact Cool J (born James Todd Smith) was only 17 when the album was released. Yet, the tone of the music isn’t unbearably precocious, or the product of an addled egghead. Smith was sufficiently mature, sufficiently smart, as an artist, by the time Radio came out. As a lyricist, though, his age shows. “You Can’t Dance” castigates a nameless “moron” whose lack of moves elicits immanent displeasure in Smith. “That’s A Lie” similarly castigates a compulsive liar, played by Def Jam founder Russell Simmons (under the name Russell Rush). “Dear Yvette” gets down with some pretty blatant slut-shaming, with lines that go, “Like Santa Claus said, you’re a ho-ho-ho.” His age shows in his choice of appellation as well. LL Cool J stands for “Ladies Love Cool James.”
All the same, Smith’s age on Radio might be the record’s best asset. Like the production that enmeshes his words, Cool J is toned, reveling in his spry braggadocio, ready to dismantle anything opposing him. Even with Rubin’s minimalism—on songs like “I Can’t Live Without My Radio,” “I Need A Beat” and “Rock The Bells”—Smith overflows with energy. He raps fast, he raps hard. He wasn’t the first hip hop artist, but he damn well isn’t going to let that stop him. All braggadocio aside, perhaps Cool J and Rubin weren’t aware of what they were starting when they made Radio. The fact that Smith had the boastful attitude before he was a big success is what helped contribute to Radio’s big success. From the beginning, he wasn’t pulling punches. In a way, this classes him with Marcel Proust, W.S. Gilbert and “Steamboat Willie.” None of them pulled punches, and they ended up changing their mediums, irrevocably.
Radio wasn’t the first hip-hop album, but it signaled a substantive shift in hip hop’s course.
Other albums released this day: Revolutionary Vol. 2 by Immortal Technique (2003), Hate Yourself with Style by Clawfinger (2005), Weekend Warrior by Biz Markie (2003), We’re Outta Here! by The Ramones (1997).

THE RECORD ROUTINE
Death Grips’ latest record drives deeper into darkness
Government Plates Death Grips By Cameron Graff The Daily Cardinal
I recently read Death Grips’ now almost year-old interview with Pitchfork in which drummer and noise auteur Zach Hill demystified the big throbbing member on the cover of No Love Deep Web—which, at the time and considering the circumstances, seemed more like a giant and peevishly immature “fuck you” to Epic Records. “It really has to do with acceleration—culturally, on a world level—of sexuality in general, and getting past homophobia,” Hill said. “People
should be able to look deeper into something rather than just seeing some dick. It’s also a spiritual thing; it’s fearlessness.” Suddenly Death Grips bloomed anew for me, and maybe that’s why Government Plates feels like it’s the apex of their short career. I’ve always thought they’re a fascinating band—a bunch of capital-A artists, operating in the nadirs of the underground so often associated with nauseating ideals. The violence of punk, the homophobia and racism of power electronics, the xenophobia and purist hatred in black metal—in a way, it was astoundingly satisfying to know that Death Grips, at least in concept, rose above the machismo posturing of their ultraviolence, of their sexual depravity. To realize that what they’re making is art. Their music is as hideous as ever—Stefan “MC Ride” Burnett said it best in the grinding hook to “Beware” off Exmilitary, effectively the group’s manifesto; “I
light my torch and burn it/I am the beast I worship.” Death Grips are fascinated with the individual and the particular dark streams that feed into the ocean of human conscience, and that isn’t going to change any time soon. The opening track, “You Think He Loves For Your Money But I Know What He Really Loves You For It’s Your Brand New Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat,” bursts in with the sound of shattering glass and Burnett barking “Get so fuckin’ dark in here/come come fuck apart in here.” It’s a two minute odyssey through the bleakest chasms of human sexuality—“Stretch you out like latex mask/My sigils your epitaph/ come come fuck apart in here I die”—and Burnett’s frightening presence on the track (nevermind the deeply unnerving music video of him fading in and out of focus, flailing around, noided out of his mind) push it beyond being pure exhibitionism. The track
drips with equal parts narcissistic sexual hedonism and genuine fear—it’s an uncompromising exploratory dive into depravity, and all the anxiety and self-loathing (or omniphobia, even) that comes with. And as an opener, it’s even better than “Beware,” and that’s saying something.
I’ve always thought they’re a fascinating band—a bunch of capital-A artists, operating in the nadirs of the underground so often associated with nauseating ideals.
Even if we brush aside all the conception cohesion that only music nerds like me care about, it’s still an astounding achievement. This is what Kanye West’s Yeezus clearly wanted to sound but failed. It’s brief, to
the point, rough as sharkskin and occasionally startlingly beautiful. The skeletal techno of “This Is Violence Now (Don’t Get Me Wrong),” the shockingly pretty guitar lines in stark single “Birds,” the long ambient bridges and laser-gun synchs of “Whatever I Want (Fuck Who’s Watching),” it all synthesizes into a gritty crock pot of highbrow ideas that just happens to be incredibly listenable. Government Plates is less song focused than The Money Store and less textured than No Love Deep Web , instead choosing the road in between. It’s not only Death Grips most artistically accomplished work, it’s also their most immediately rewarding. All you skeptics, remember; don’t be scared of the dark, it’s just as scared of itself as you are, and maybe that’s the point.

opinion Voters must hold Congress accountable sean hoey opinion columnist
Y
es, indeed, two weeks ago, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Virginia, released the 2014 working schedule for the House of Representatives. Down nearly three weeks from last year, the House will work—drum roll please—113 days next year. No, this is not a typographical error. Your patriotic, dedicated, democratically elected members of Congress, while enjoying a cushy $174,000 salary and gold-plated healthcare benefits, will work for a total of 113 days next year. You’re probably looking at this figure in disbelief or frustration—rightfully so. However, this is sadly normal. In 2010, the House spent 116 days in session, and in 2008, it was merely 100. This year, in fact, was an anomaly. After canceling two weeks of recess to attempt to deal with the government shutdown, Congress rolled up its perfectly pressed Brooks Brothers sleeves and got down to work 133 days this year.

we’ll be expected to work 40 hours a week, five days a week until we’re nearly dead. Even now, most of us work nights or weekends in addition to our full-time academic commitment to, you know, eat and pay rent as we tumble further into college debt. My friends, these are the ways of Washington. Every two years, we elect senators and representatives—people we wholeheartedly believe in— to make change for us in the Capitol. When they get there, though, our leaders lose much of their accountability and responsibility. They fall into the Washingtonian system, a system that benefits them, but not the people they represent. Part of the system is this egregious congressional work week. Members of Congress fly into Washington from their districts Monday night, work during the day Tuesday through Thursday, attend a few fundraisers and political dinners at night and return home for the perpetual re-election campaign Friday. When they’re working in the Capitol, they spend their time trying to score political points by screwing over their
opponent—giving vitriolic floor speeches, filibustering presidential nominees, attempting to embarrass administration officials in hearings and failing to vote on legislation passed in the opposite house. And then they take a couple weeks off here and there, including the entire month of August—all on us, the taxpayers. It’s no wonder Congress failed to pass a budget last month.
As taxpayers, we are the bosses of our representatives.
How can our representatives possibly find the time to put a budget together, much less run the country, if they work only 113 days a year? Indeed, these are the inevitable ways of Washington. While we’ve lived under these dreadful political conventions for some time, there are mechanisms that already exist and
Student segregated fees are an essential part of students’ tuition michael podgers opinion columnist
D
espite how ridiculously expensive tuition at the University of WisconsinMadison gets, one thing I will not gripe about paying is the student segregated fee that all UW-Madison students pay equally regardless of residency, year or school. UW-Madison’s segregated fees are taxes that are tacked onto our semester tuition that add a little over $1,000 to our overall tuition and fees annually. That might sound steep, but the money that is raised from student segregated fees pays for some of the most important student services at UW-Madison, and funds some of our favorite places to study and play. These fees should be embraced by students and not derided as unnecessary increases in tuition. For the fiscal year of 2013-’14, student segregated fees totaled $41,629,370. And all that money collected from students goes to the mutual benefit of all students! The Union, Rec Sports, General Student Services Fund groups, University Health Services and the Metro bus passes are among the items funded at least partially by these fees. This is a really impressive roster of services. And the breadth of services on campus funded by these fees is a huge justification for their existence. Most importantly though, the existence of student segregated fees at UW-Madison allows students the ability to independently make decisions about what student services we want to have
and expand on campus—that is independent from the wishes of the university’s administration as well as the state government. This is an important point to consider and perhaps the greatest justification for the existence of these fees, despite the fact they do indeed raise our overall tuition costs. Recently an opinion columnist at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel derided the presence of Sex Out Loud, UW-Madison’s peer-topeer sexual health resource and an important brick in the university’s sexual health initiatives. What he was most upset about was that Sex Out Loud offers educational programming that includes everything from general sexual health and safer sex practices to kink, pleasure and healthy relationships. He felt this was an inappropriate use of state and university funding. But guess what? It’s neither of those! Because Sex Out Loud, like Promoting Awareness Victim Empowerment, Badger Catholic or Greater University Tutoring Services is a GSSF group. It gets its funding from student segregated fees, has its funding and eligibility approved by the student government and is in every sense a by-studentsfor-students process. Complain if you wish about the cost of tuition, but don’t complain about this particular college cost. Student segregated fees are small individual costs that allow students a huge level of independence to determine what happens on our campus and under our names. In fact, I would argue the use of segregated fees reinforces the need to increase them even a little bit. There is a limit to what
these fees can pay for; demand is going up, but supply isn’t increasing. Caps have been put on how much GSSF groups can receive, and even those have already been indirectly questioned. There was a moment at a recent GSSF group budget hearing when a Student Services Finance Committee member was asking for more money because of an increase in its service, but forgot about the cap that is placed on such group’s organization’s budgets. An increase of $50 per student per year would raise more than $2.1 million for services paid for by student segregated fees. That is a modest sum per student that could go a long way to helping fund the much-needed renovations of athletic facilities, the omnipresent renovations of places such as the Union and Library Mall or a higher cap for GSSF group budgets (to put this into perspective, this amount could easily double the number of GSSF groups without budget increases). And before we get upset about paying more, let’s remind ourselves what these services pay for: unlimited condoms and sexual health supplies, free or reduced-cost medical services, access to free or reduced cost recreational spaces, places to buy beer, bus passes that are so important for getting to Target and much more. Everything comes at a cost, but some costs are more worthwhile than others. The student segregated fees at UW-Madison are genuinely worthwhile costs. What do you think about these fees?

some we can put in place to solve Washington’s accountability woes. To shore up the work-week problem, we should mandate that congressmen and women work a full schedule so that they may faithfully fulfill their sworn duties as elected officials. Of course, it isn’t totally out of the question for them to take time away from Washington to hear from their constituents in the districts to which they are obliged. Perhaps we can implement a reasonable schedule where our representatives spend several five-day weeks in Washington and then one week at home. Forced to be in a room with each other for more than a mere 113 days, we’d expect that they would eventually do something productive. Alas, to change the ways of Washington and to undo the tides of political elitism is too much to ask of our leaders. The people don’t create the rules of the system—our benefactors in Washington do. Under this system, our leaders, entrusted with enormous power, continuously fail to do their jobs while they are consistently re-elected, reaping all the benefits of their own creation. The law of self-interest

dictates that such a system will never reform itself on its own. Thus this change cannot be from the top down; it must be from the bottom up. As taxpayers, we are the bosses of our representatives, and every two years, we’re given the chance to do something extraordinary—we have the opportunity to conduct job reviews. We have the right to say that our representatives have failed in their job responsibilities and that it’s time for someone new. Maybe you’ve heard of these; they’re called elections. With the right to hire or fire as we see fit, here’s my advice to you: Stop letting these people take advantage of you. Stop choosing representatives who fail to be accountable. Stop acquiescing to the system. Self-interested politicians won’t fix the problem; only normal citizens like yourself can. You have the power, so stop or let the ways of Washington continue. How else do you think we should hold our congressmen and women accountable? Do you think they should be required to work more than just 113 days next year?

Weekend split gives UW first road win By Adee Feiner THE DAILY CARDINAL
With its first road victory on the line, No. 12 Wisconsin (4-3-1) traveled to Oxford, Ohio, to take on No. 8 Miami-Ohio (7-4-1) over the weekend. Friday the Badgers couldn’t put a puck past Redhawk sophomore goaltender Ryan McKay, who had just been named National Collegiate Hockey Conference goalie of the week. With 30 saves, he all but gave Miami the 2-0 victory singlehandedly. With a new game plan and a familiar face back between the pipes Saturday, the Badgers were able to skate to a 3-2 victory. Friday night’s goal drought for the Badgers also meant something else: the end of sophomore forward Nic Kerdiles’ 18-game point streak dating back to last season. After a scoreless first period Miami freshman forward Anthony Louis managed to light the lamp in the second period by beating Wisconsin junior goalie Landon Peterson, who stopped 34 of 35 shots in the game. With 26 seconds remaining in the third period, the Badgers found themselves on a power play and pulled Peterson for an extra skater. After initially gaining control of the puck the Badgers lost it in front of McKay, and Redhawk junior forward Austin Czarnik cleared over 130 feet of ice to give Miami the empty-net goal and seal a 2-0 victory. Junior goaltender Joel Rumpel was back in action Saturday after missing a good part of the season

The rest of the day was more of the same for the Badgers, winning the battle for time of possession with 37:45 to Indiana’s 22:15, keeping the traditionally
thus far with a leg injury he suffered in practice. The Saskatchewan native was solid, stopping 32 of the Redhawks’ 34 shots to help the Badgers to victory. Junior defenseman Jake McCabe tallied the first goal for the Badgers on a power play to give Wisconsin a 1-0 lead at the end of the first period, solidifying McCabe’s spot as the nation’s highest-scoring defenseman. Miami, however, did not wait for the Badgers to keep coming on the forecheck, leading Miami junior forward Blake Coleman to score a power-play goal five minutes into the second period. The Redhawks scored again in the period, going up 2-1 on Czarnik’s second goal of the weekend. The Badgers finally answered halfway through the third period when senior forward Michael Mersch netted a rebound off the crossbar. The goal was Mersch’s 50th as a Badger, also making him the 50th Wisconsin player to reach the milestone. Ultimately, junior forward Joseph LaBate’s goal would be the difference maker with just under five minutes remaining in the third period. Following up on senior forward Tyler Barnes’ missed breakaway opportunity, LaBate shot the puck past McKay to give the team its first road win of the season. Wisconsin takes a break from play this week but will return to action against rival Minnesota to officially open Big Ten conference play Nov. 29. UWBadgers.com contributed to this report. explosive Indiana offense off the field for most of the game. When Indiana did have the ball, the Wisconsin defense forced the Hoosiers to punt eight times. As the Badgers slowed down in the second quarter, sophomore kicker Jack Russell shone, sinking three field goals, the longest from 36 yards, and went 6-for-6 on extrapoint attempts. “I don’t think there was one [kick] in question,” Andersen said. “The ball got up over the line of scrimmage in a nice way, and it looked like a well-struck ball every time it came off.”

Lone senior shines on UW’s senior day By Andrew Tucker THE DAILY CARDINAL
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. The Badgers’ final weekend of home contests was a tale of two matches, starting with a sweep by No. 2 Penn State Friday night before winning a big 3-1 match on senior day against Ohio State Sunday. The match against Penn State (13-1 Big Ten, 23-2 overall) was about as close as a sweep can be. No. 14 Wisconsin (9-7, 20-8) fought back in the first set, keeping it close before the Nittany Lions took the set 25-23. Penn State had to go to extra points to fend off UW in the second set, ultimately winning 27-25. In the final set, the Badgers took an early lead, but it quickly evaporated and UW lost 25-16, sealing the win for the Nittany Lions. “I think we started slow in the first set, but really fought back, and we just couldn’t pull it out,” freshman setter Lauren Carlini said. “In the second game we were right there with them. In the third, we started strong, and let up in the end. We couldn’t keep up with them.” The Nittany Lions were stellar
defensively against the Badgers. Penn State has the lowest opponent’s hitting percentage in the Big Ten and held the Badgers to an unusually low 0.129 in the match, with a lone Wisconsin player above 0.300 in freshman middle blocker Haleigh Nelson. On senior day the spotlight was on the lone senior, libero Annemarie Hickey. She promptly stepped up, leading the Wisconsin backcourt to a solid match over Ohio State Sunday. “Our backs did a good job keeping the ball off the floor,” head coach Kelly Sheffield said. “I think sometimes those little tykes don’t get enough credit, but they were tough today.” The first set was a story of streaks, with Wisconsin jumping to a quick 11-4 lead only to have OSU tie at 18 and ultimately win 25-23. Mistakes were prevalent throughout the match for both teams, with the first point coming off a service error by the Buckeyes, and the last point coming off a Wisconsin four-hit infraction. “We let that big lead up in the first match so we wanted to learn from our mistakes and put pressure on the other team and show
them we can finish,” Hickey said. After hitting 0.133 in the first set, the Badgers came out and dominated OSU in the second, winning 25-18 with a hitting percentage of 0.429. Carlini had 14 of her 50 assists in the set and spread the ball to a plethora of hitters throughout the match. Another 0.429 hitting performance in the third set gave the Badgers another win, this time by a score of 25-21. Unlike the streak-laden first set, this match was back and forth, with 12 ties and four lead changes. Neither team was able to grab control of the match until the end. The fourth set wasn’t pretty, with both teams hitting below 0.180, but the Badgers had a late run that propelled them to a 25-21 match-clinching win. Wisconsin got its serving game into a rhythm, notching two aces in the set. Hickey is wrapping up a spectacular career at UW, where she is third all-time in both digs and digs per set. “I can’t focus on myself, I have to give a lot of credit to my teammates,” Hickey said. “We played awesome, and we really followed our game plan.”

Badgers complete fourth consecutive weekend sweep By Philip Spiler THE DAILY CARDINAL
No. 2 Wisconsin (6-2-0 WCHA, 10-2-0 overall) completed its fourth sweep in a row this weekend, defeating Northeastern (2-3-1 WHEA, 5-7-1) and No. 8 Boston University (6-0-0 WHEA, 10-2-1) in Vail, Colo. The Badgers were one of four teams who traveled to Vail this weekend, along with Northeastern, Boston University and St. Cloud State as part of National Collegiate Ice Hockey Weekend. UW opened its two-game set against Northeastern with a 3-2 win Friday night. Northeastern junior forward Kelly Wallace put the Huskies on the board first, sliding the puck past freshman goalie Ann-Renée Desbiens during a power play to take the lead. Senior defenseman Kelly Jaminski scored the first goal of her Wisconsin career, sending a slap shot over the Husky goalten-
der in the middle of the period to tie the score. The Huskies capitalized on their second power play opportunity soon after, leaving the Badgers trailing 2-1 heading into the final period. The Badgers would come roaring back in the third period after redshirt junior forward Brittany Ammerman tied the game on a deflection from freshman forward Sarah Nurse. Wisconsin would get its game-winning goal with just two minutes and 24 seconds remaining on freshman defenseman Jenny Ryan’s first collegiate goal. Five different players scored for UW Saturday night as Wisconsin shut out the Terriers 5-0. Junior forward Blayre Turnbull put the Badgers on the board first, scoring her seventh goal of the season by firing a shot over the shoulder of BU senior goaltender Kerrin Sperry on a breakaway early in the first period. Junior forward Katy Josephs was the next to score, finding the back of the net on a power
play at the end of the first period to give the Badgers a 2-0 lead heading into the second frame. The Badgers continued to bring the heat in the second period, stoking a fire that resulted in 27 penalty minutes between the teams and the ejection of one BU player., allowing Nurse to score in a fiveon-five situation. Freshman forward Sydney McKibbon had a goal as well, sneaking the puck past the BU goaltender six minutes into the middle period to give the Badgers a comfortable four-goal lead. Junior forward Karley Sylvester finished the scoring for Wisconsin by poking in a rebound shot on a power play with a minute and a half left in the second frame. With the win, senior goaltender Alex Rigsby improved her total win count to 90, just one game short of the school win record held by former Badger Jessie Vetter.

Run game shines in rout of Indiana Badgers put up 676 yards and keep explosive IU offense out of the end zone By Cameron Kalmon THE DAILY CARDINAL
It didn’t take long for Wisconsin to establish its vaunted rushing attack against one of the worst rushing defenses in the Big Ten. In fact, one play was all senior running back James White needed. On Wisconsin’s first play from scrimmage White took the handoff, broke a tackle and from there it was off to the races. It’s been nine years since No. 22 Wisconsin (5-1 Big Ten, 8-2 overall) has lost to Indiana (2-4, 4-6), and this year’s contest was more of the same, ending with a lopsided 51-3 victory for the Badgers. The brutal onslaught against Indiana was led by the tremendous trio of tailbacks Wisconsin keeps in its arsenal. In his pregame speech head coach Gary Andersen told his players to start fast and stay steady, advice they must have taken to heart. White broke through the line and showcased his lightning speed on the Badgers’ first play of the game with a 93-yard touchdown, the longest run in school history. White rushed for a career-high 205 yards on 20 carries during the game. Doing what they know best, the Badgers ran the ball for an impressive season-high 554 yards on 50 carries, while redshirt sophomore Melvin Gordon and freshman
GREY SATTERFIELD/THE DAILY CARDINAL
Senior running back James White ran for 205 yards Saturday, setting the school record for longest run on UW’s first drive. Corey Clement both contributed over 100 yards each to that total. “I’m just trying to take advantage of all the opportunities,” White said. “Whenever the offensive line gives me that little bit of a crease I have to take advantage of it.” The surprise for Wisconsin’s running game came from redshirt senior wide receiver Jared Abbrederis, who ran for 86 yards and two touchdowns on three carries. Abbrederis is normally the leading receiver for Wisconsin, but did not record a reception on a wet and dreary day at Camp Randall. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Joel Stave passed for 122 yards on seven completions. The Hoosiers are averaging 306 passing yards a game and are known for their explosive offense. The weather was detrimental
to both teams’ passing game, and while the Hoosiers’ two sophomore quarterbacks, Nate Sudfeld and Tre Roberson, had been considered big threats going into Camp Randall, they ultimately did not live up to the hype. Sudfeld, who is averaging 228 passing yards per game this season, only managed 99 against the Badgers. Wisconsin’s defense came ready to play from the start, with freshman cornerback Sojourn Shelton picking off Sudfeld’s pass on the Hoosiers’ first drive of the game. He currently leads the Badgers in interceptions and has 28 tackles. “[Shelton] wants to play every single snap, and the way he competes, he will do that in checkers, horse, whatever he’s doing,” Andersen said “He’s handled his

UW escapes Green Bay with a win By Jack Baer THE DAILY CARDINAL
Despite facing a threat more challenging than either of their previous “power six” conference opponents, the Badgers held strong in the final minute to pull out a 69-66 win against the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Saturday. The Badgers were tested all night by the Phoenix, who were named the preseason favorite to win the Horizon League and qualify for the NCAA tournament by Sports Illustrated. Almost all troubles came from containing, or trying to contain, 5-foot-11-inch Green Bay guard Keifer Sykes, who finished with a career-high 32 points. No other Green Bay player finished with more than nine points. The task to cover the swiftfooted, preseason All-Horizon League guard fell on redshirt junior guard Josh Gasser. “We were planning on going under on ball screens for him, make him shoot from the outside and he was knocking down shots from the beginning, so we had to kind of change our game plan,” Gasser said. “He’s just a great player. It’s hard to stop a guy like that, espe-
cially in that atmosphere and when he gets going early.” Much of Green Bay’s strategy relied on multiple screens to give Sykes open looks, a tactic Wisconsin struggled to stop until it finally adjusted later in the game. After that, Sykes relied more on his inside game, utilizing drives to the rim and pull-up jumpers. A back-and-forth first half that finished with a 34-29 Badgers lead, Green Bay burst out of the locker room with a 10-1 run to take a fourpoint lead. Wisconsin spent 10 minutes slowly chipping away at this lead, eventually taking the final lead of the game on a layup from junior center Frank Kaminsky with 7:30 left in the game. It was a career night for Kaminsky, who registered 16 points (14 in the second half), eight rebounds and four blocks while matched up against preseason AllHorizon League selection, 7-foot-1inch center Alec Brown. He had a overall miserable night, finishing with two points, one rebound and five turnovers. “He’s one of the best players in that league and one of the best bigs that we’ll face, and we
took him out of his rhythm the whole game,” Gasser said. “He had two offensive fouls in the first half and was pretty much nonexistent. Second half, same thing kind of happened.” Brown fouled out with 4:24 remaining and Green Bay down by four, leaving a door open for the Badgers, Kaminsky in particular, to attack the rim with abandon. “Frank carried us in that second half,” freshman forward Nigel Hayes said. “With [Brown] out of the game, Frank was able to take advantage of the smaller defenders in the post.” In the game’s final minute, Green Bay was able to cut the lead to two, but saw its penultimate possession end with an emphatic Kaminsky block. Kaminsky recovered the ball and was promptly fouled. Kaminsky split his free throws, extending the lead to three with four seconds left. After a Green Bay timeout, Sykes received a long pass from the baseline and bumped into his own man, throwing up a desperation shot that bounced off the front of the rim, cementing a surprisingly close Badger victory.
