Over 100 pack hearing on transgender bill

By Andrew Bahl THE DAILY CARDINAL

Over 100 people crowded a Capitol hearing room Thursday to testify on a bill that would require transgender K-12 students to use the bathroom corresponding to their biological sex.

Under the proposal, authored by state Sen. Steve Nass, R-Whitewater, and state Rep. Jesse Kremer, R-Kewaskum, schools would designate each bathroom or locker room to be used exclusively by students of a single sex. Transgender students would be barred from using the facility correspond-

ing to the gender with which they identify.

Kremer touted his bill as a way to ensure a safe space for all students.

“The bill encourages a safe, private and dignified learning environment for all students, not just a few,” Kremer said in his testimony.

Julaine Appling, the president of Wisconsin Family Action, criticized opponents of the bill and argued the measure ensures equality statewide.

“A bathroom is not an appropriate place for someone to seek validation of gender identity as

a personal issue or as a cause,” Appling said in her testimony. “It is a social experiment that borders on child exploitation.”

Students from across the state, including some in elementary school, testified at the hearing, with many voicing their opposition to the bill.

A 15-year-old transgender student from Madison opposed the bill, saying his “mental health would be flushed down the toilet I’m not even allowed to use.”

“I know this is supposed to protect trans kids but it would do

UW-Madison graduate student Colin Higgins’ commute to class will be longer than most next fall when he travels nearly 4,000 miles to Oxford, England, after being awarded with a Rhodes Scholarship.

The Rhodes Scholarship is recognized as the oldest international study program in the world and funds approximately $50,000 per year for two to three years of education at the University of Oxford.

Higgins finished his undergraduate degree in May, triple majoring with honors in environmental studies, geography and history and is currently pursuing an accelerated Master of Public Affairs degree, which he will finish this spring, according to a UW-Madison release.

Bill Mulligan, a UW-Madison senior studying biochemistry was a finalist for the scholarship.

“As the state’s flagship university, nurturing homegrown talent is one of our greatest privileges,” said UW-Madison Provost Sarah Mangelsdorf.

“Both Colin and Bill grew up here in Wisconsin. Because we were able to offer them compelling research opportunities

Dane County allocates funds for bike trail Dane County Executive Joe Parisi announced Thursday awards totaling over $764,000 for the expansion of bike trails in the Madison area.

The grants, intended to fund new trails, will offset bike trail design, engineering and construction costs.

The awards were allocated through the county’s Partners for Recreation and Conservation and the Ride Bike Trail grant program. The PARC program started in 2011 to provide matching grants to Dane County municipalities for

bike trail expansion.

“The program offers an excellent opportunity for Dane County to partner with local governments on developing and enhancing bicycle trails and amenities in our communities,” Parisi said in the Thursday statement. “We are excited to be able to continue our work strategically growing Dane County bike trails.”

Parisi said the grants will promote the expansion of trails in Madison, as well as suburbs including Shorewood Hills, McFarland and DeForest.

Although many Badgers’ prayers were not answered Saturday in a tough loss to Northwestern, three super fans clad in red and white habits blessed Camp Randall to lift fallen spirits.

Sister Mary Touchdown, Sister Hail Mary and Sister Mary Bucky—also known as the Badger Nuns—religiously attended all but one home game this season, where their infectious team spirit helped rally fans.

“We are just passionate about the Badgers,” Sister Mary Touchdown said. “We love going to the games, rallying the crowd and trying to get the Badgers to win.”

Sister Mary Bucky would say the women were “called to” their positions as Badger Nuns, but the group costume was actually inspired by an Ice Bucket Challenge video in which a group of Irish nuns wore red and white habits.

Sister Mary Touchdown recreated the look, adding a motion W to the front and “In Chryst We Trust” to the back.

The three Catholic-raised friends may not be formally recognized as “real” nuns, but their

fan following has grown wildly throughout the semester.

“It’s so fun because we really do get the nicest reactions from people,” Sister Mary Touchdown said.

“Every time we say ‘go Bucky,’ they cheer right with us.”

The nuns wrapped up their first football season this weekend by finally gaining access to the student section, a goal they always had but could never get in.

“We just wanted to be with the students, because this is their team really,” Sister Mary Touchdown said. “The stadium is full of people who are there to support the Badgers and it’s really great to see all of them, but we really just wanted to experience the game with the students.”

The Sisters plan to continue following the Badger football team through the end of this season and will post updates on their Facebook page. They hope to make return appearances at next year’s home games.

“It has been a shockingly positive experience. We really didn’t expect anything like this. We were just kind of goofing around and it just took off,” Sister Mary Touchdown said. “We love it and we’re having so much fun with it.”

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

Wisconsin Republicans favor Ben Carson, poll finds

MPD chief defends traffic citation process

By Andrew Hahn THE DAILY CARDINAL

Wisconsin Republicans prefer neurosurgeon Ben Carson over his presidential opponents according to statewide poll results released Thursday, while their dissatisfaction with Gov. Scott Walker has remained stagnant since September.

Carson narrowly beat out Donald Trump and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., with 22 percent of poll respondents favoring him to Trump and Rubio’s 19 percent each, according to the Marquette University Law School Poll.

Gov. Scott Walker’s numbers haven’t improved since he dropped out of the presidential race. Shortly after leaving the field of candidates, 59 percent of participants in the same poll said they disapproved of

Madison Police Department Chief Mike Koval defended MPD’s traffic ticket citations in a blog post on their website Thursday, detailing the process of issuing tickets and the factors taken into account.

Koval described an incident where a man, whom he pulled over, accused Koval of singling him out and assumed the police department has a quota for number of tickets to issue. He defended MPD, citing the Wisconsin state statute that prohibits law enforcements from issuing a specific number of tickets.

“In speaking on behalf of the City of Madison Police Department, there is no quota system for traffic tickets,” Koval wrote in the post.

Koval also described how MPD often tries to avoid issuing legal punishment and searches for alternative methods rather than issuing citations and tickets.

“Officers are challenged to think out of the box in finding creative means to avoid citations and arrest,” Koval wrote.

Koval emphasized MPD’s reluctance to always issue citations and instead focus on educating drivers on following the law.

“... there is no quota system for traffic tickets ... Officers are challenged to think out of the box in finding creative means to avoid citations and arrests.”

“By adopting a philosophy of gaining compliance that is not wholly reliant on writing citations for everything, our ‘actions’ are more in line with our lofty platitudes expressed as part of our values as MPD Officers,” he wrote.

Koval alluded to MPD’s emphasis on creating safer driving conditions, adhering to the “three E’s”: education, enforcement and engineering improvements.

In 2015, there have been eight traffic fatalities. Koval stressed that traffic tickets and citations are solely intended for the safety of drivers and motorists.

“There is every hope and desire to make our City a safer motoring community, achieved through a multi-pronged approach incorporating education, compliance incentives, enforcement, reasonableness, equity and respectfulness as our benchmarks,” Koval wrote.

his leadership. Thursday’s results showed 58 percent of Wisconsinites disapprove of his work now.

Sixty percent of voters also disapprove of the way the state’s legislative Republican majority is doing its job.

On the left, Hillary Clinton is favored by Wisconsin Democrats by 50 percent to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 41 percent.

“Sanders is able to get more of the votes from independents and even some Republicans than Clinton is,” Franklin said, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “People have very firm views of Hillary Clinton.”

Former Sen. Russ Feingold, a Democrat, is beating incumbent Republican Sen. Ron Johnson with 58 percent support to Johnson’s 38 percent.

Some lawmakers argued the bill addresses a problem which doesn’t exist and discriminates against students.

“Kids don’t care about this … we care for some reason,” said state Rep. Sondy Pope, D-Cross Plains. “This bill is not ready, not even close.”

Concerns also exist that the bill would open the door for legal action against the state or individ-

ual school districts. The proposal requires the state Department of Justice to defend it against legal challenge and some administrators say this could thrust students into a fierce legal battle.

“We have concerns about districts being sued and the expense of defending those kinds of things and what the range of remedies are,” said Dan Rossmiller, lobbyist for the Wisconsin Association of School Boards.

A vote on the bill has not been scheduled.

SSFC SPOTLIGHT BadgerSpill aims to accommodate recent increase in submissions

By Scott Bembenek THE DAILY CARDINAL

Supporting Peers In Laidback Listening, a student organization focused on helping students maintain mental health, aims to use its recently raised budget to aid the group as it accommodates a recent spike in usage, according to its president Adela Tomsejova.

The organization, also known as BadgerSpill, is a web-based group that allows students to anonymously voice problems they are facing and promptly receive feedback from their peers. This helps students who wouldn’t otherwise seek counseling due to the stigma that often goes along with seeking such help, according to Tomsejova.

“Counseling is unfortunately very stigmatized,” Tomsejova said.

“So this is just an easy way for students to vent about their problems and to receive quick feedback.”

When students look to vent their problems, they go on the

BadgerSpill website and write a short message, called a spill, about whatever is troubling them. This message is then processed by the organization’s vice president of confidentiality, who screens each spill.

The vice president of confidentiality checks each spill to make sure the content does not sacrifice the individual’s anonymity or indicate any immediate signs of danger such as an indication the individual means to harm themselves. In this case, UHS or 911 is called depending on the situation.

After screening, spills are sent to a number of trained supporters who have reported dealing with similar issues in the past. These supporters do not receive the individual’s email address, but send their personal responses to the vice president of confidentiality, who screens them and sends them on to the spill’s writer.

Since last year, BadgerSpill has

get, including the addition of the vice president of confidentiality position during the school year.

After making a slight change to the group’s advertising budget, SSFC approved the final total of $46,843.10, an increase of slightly over $2,400 from BadgerSpill’s requested budget.

The snow is on the ground, students are sliding down Bascom with dining hall trays and the holiday spirit is undoubtedly in the air. With Thanksgiving and Christmas on the horizon comes a hearty helping of movies to enjoy, both on television and in the theaters. ABC Family released the schedule for their “25 Days of Christmas,” with movies like “The Polar Express,” “Elf,” “The Santa Clause” and a plethora of other holiday films lined up to get everyone ready for the holidays. Also included on this list is a personal favorite of mine, “The Year Without a Santa Claus.” As a kid I would always look forward to watching the stop-motion classic. To this day, “Heat Miser Song” still gets stuck in my head when I think of Christmas.

This is the perfect time to enjoy holiday-themed movies, but it is also a wonderful time to head to the theaters to catch the new films premiering this season. “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2” already hit theaters last week, and the highly anticipated film, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” is set to premiere Dec. 18, just in time for Christmas. There are many things to look forward to in the coming weeks, and movies— both old and new—are definitely among them.

Literature Seasons inspire emotions in us, there’s nothing new about that. I’ve always adored winter—especially the snowy kind— because it has always translated to nostalgia and reminiscing.

For those who’ve had books define seasons and times throughout their life, nostalgia comes back strong during winter. And so I find myself longing to pick up books I’ve read too many times to count, beginning with Lewis Carroll’s penning of Alice.

It’s not the first time I’ve written about “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and “Through the Looking-Glass,” and it likely won’t be the last. What Carroll managed to capture in a seemingly imaginative children’s book has enough creativity, wisdom and madness to last anyone a lifetime. The depth of Carroll’s writing is the kind that gives everyone the inspiration to not only embrace but celebrate the lunacy inside of them.

Roald Dahl is that one author that no one should grow up without, and no adult should forget to revisit. His stories had just enough incredulity, laughter and fight to have you believe in the good winning out in the world. From the magical world into which Charlie is enveloped, to Matilda’s wit and spirit in the face of the awfulness of adults.

So with the first holiday of the season rolling around, consider finding yourself an old friend within a book that once brought you joy. In the midst of all the food we’ll be stuffing ourselves with, it’ll do our hearts good to remember why we love stories so much.

Television It is the time of year when television is stepping up their game to give us some holiday cheer. What has me excited for the upcoming holiday media craze is Netflix’s new holiday special, “A Very Murray Christmas,” with the talented Sofia Coppola directing. It is coming to our favorite streaming site on December 4, and features a long list of famous faces making an appearance. These include George Clooney, Rashida Jones, Amy Poehler, Michael Cera, Jason Schwartzman, Maya Rudolph, Chris Rock and even Miley Cyrus. These celebrities, playing themselves, are trying to make it to Bill Murray’s Christmas television special but a snowstorm jeopardizes his plans.

The last time Sofia Coppola worked with Murray was for the critically acclaimed classic “Lost in Translation.” Coppola is the master of making something extraordinary out of the ordinary, and Bill Murray is a perfect match for such a reflexive and Woody Allen-esque special. Something tells me this will be the star-studded holiday special that “Valentine’s Day” and “New Year’s Eve” were attempting to be. Christmas films struggle to produce a quality that was once the norm, with films such as “Miracle on 34th Street” and “It’s a Wonderful Life.” I may be biased, but being a huge Coppola fan, I trust that a tasteful holiday special is in the works that could pose to be a new classic.

It’s possible that a majority of Americans are unaware that, between the end of November until early January, you are legally allowed to listen to non-Christmas music. Many people have trouble coming to grips with this fact, and are often at a loss for what to listen to with their newfound listening freedom. Luckily, I’ve got the word on all the best music-related activities to enjoy in these coming weeks.

Grimes recently released a new album, while T-Pain is set to release Stoicville: The Phoenix, a fitting title for a man who has seen an unprecedented creative rebirth in 2015. Also keep an eye out for announcements from artists who have been working on their albums for so long that the wait is now unbearable. In my first seasonal blurb of this year I wrote about Frank Ocean possibly dropping more details about his new project. A whole semester has gone by, and I now have the most baseless hope that sometime this holiday season, we will all be blessed by Ocean’s new album.

As for non-listening activities, this is the best time of the year to beg your relatives to buy you an instrument. Use the wonderful purgatory between semesters to learn a new skill, or make a song or two; you can pour your angst about Aunt Brenna’s overly political Thanksgiving discourse into your lyrics and melodies. Lastly, listening to holiday music is totally acceptable, just whatever you do, don’t watch the music video for “All I Want for Christmas is You” with Justin Bieber. This is one incarnation of the Biebs that we’d all be better off forgetting.

RECORD ROUTINE

Editorial Board Dylan Anderson • Theda Berry James Dayton • Sergey Fedossov Emily Gerber • Max Lenz Conor Murphy • Cal Weber

Music

Fame is a monster. The public spotlight pointed at every celebrity, athlete and politician probably places more stress on them than any number of stage lights under which media figures thrive. But not every celebrity opens up under the harsh scrutiny of a reporter’s question or paparazzi flash bulbs. After releasing a seminal break-up album in 2011, Adele closed

herself off, focusing on establishing a family and having a baby. As 21 remained on Billboard’s top album chart, Adele didn’t lavish in the spotlight. Instead, the singer-songwriter reflected upon the relationship which spawned her record-breaking album and crafted a follow-up.

I’m going to be frank—25 pales in comparison to the perfected sadness of 21. But that shouldn’t scare away potential listeners. 25 sees Adele at both her strongest, especially after a late 2011 vocal chord surgery, but also her most unsure. Long gone are the piss-off anthems of “Rolling in the Deep” and “Rumour Has It.” Instead, self-doubt and secondguessing have replaced the brash, confident nature that dominated 21.

The vocal imperfections that dot the album, along with the more stripped-down production and com-

position, let Adele’s natural talent shine brightly. “Million Years Ago” features just a Spanish guitar and Adele’s soothing voice, depicting the inevitability of change and the progress of time. Both “Remedy” and “All I Ask,” powerful piano ballads, envelop the listener in a blanket of Adele’s distraught hope for reconciliation.

At first listen, the more experimental songs seem out of left field compared to Adele’s more classic, ’60s soul-inspired musings, but “River Lea,” with Danger Mouse at the helm for production, is both ethereal and heartwarming. Adele finally breaks from her self-doubt and notes of 21’s confidence break through. “I Miss You,” reminiscent of a Bat for Lashes’ B-side, has Adele revealing a more sensual side, a side that fits the reflection running through the album.

Surprisingly, it’s the songs

which sound perfect for radio plays that hold back 25. “Send My Love (To Your New Lover)” is catchy and upbeat, but sounds too similar to other Max Martin tracks that have topped the charts over the last decade. “Water Under the Bridge,” featuring Adele’s defiance to her lover’s indifference, reminds the listener of the heart-pounding tracks from 21 but feels out of place and includes a fair amount of cliches.

When 25 soars, it reaches new heights in Adele’s vocal performance and her songwriting ability.

While it is sure to break records in terms of first-week sales, Adele’s foray into self-reflection is a solid effort and capitalizes well on her talents as the most gifted, spurned 20-something lover.

Concealed carry in campus buildings puts students’ safety at risk view Cardinal View editorials represent The Daily Cardinal’s organizational opinion. Each editorial is crafted independent of news coverage.

S

tate Rep. Jesse Kremer, R-Kewaskum, and Sen. Devin LeMahieu, R-Oostburg, are currently attempting to push a reactionary and inflammatory bill through the Wisconsin state Legislature that would allow students to carry concealed firearms inside of university buildings. With the rise of tragedies involving gun violence at schools, this bill poses a grave threat to our students and faculty in not only an emergency scenario, but also in the day-to-day routine of classes.

Allowing students, staff and visitors to carry concealed weapons inside of university buildings is irresponsible, and a risk that we can’t afford to take for a series of unproven “safety” benefits.

The brain drain this campus could experience because they feel unsafe in the presence of concealed firearms is not worth it.

Chief among the issues this bill could present is that of safety.

UWPD has opposed the idea of

concealed carry in campus buildings, citing that the minimal training required to obtain a concealed carry permit would not adequately prepare a lawful gun owner to prevent any kind of tragedy.

“Officers go through hundreds and hundreds of hours of training, not just on the range but in classrooms and role playing,” said UWPD Public Information Officer Marc Lovicott. “But with [this concealed carry legislation], it’s a couple hours, and training is minimal at best. That’s a reason to be concerned.”

In the event of a shooting on campus, not only are the responding police officers tasked with making the split-second decision of identifying and differentiating concealed carry owners from active shooters, but the concealed carriers themselves are required to have an equal level of tactical decision-making. Imagine a scenario such as a packed game day at Camp Randall, where in the event of a shooting, even with as little as 1 percent of the crowd carrying firearms into the stadium, there are now 800 guns floating around in an environment where a stray bullet is all but guaranteed to injure a bystander. Furthermore, the federal Department of Justice has found in a 2005 study that 93 percent

of crimes experienced by college students happen off campus, further proving how unnecessary and destabilizing this bill could be if signed into law.

Allowing concealed carry in campus buildings also fundamentally alters the learning environment. Even if the guns aren’t seen, professors and students both would be conscious of being in an area permeated by the presence of firearms. In an academic environment with existing tension and anxiety, the presence of lethal weapons may trigger students and faculty who are already on edge.

Chancellor Rebecca Blank has expressed how students and faculty would find the campus less appealing with the addition of firearms inside campus buildings, and how we could potentially see many of these people going elsewhere to learn or teach.

Chief among the issues this bill could present is that of safety.

“I think that we will lose staff and faculty if this happens, and we will lose students,” Chancellor Blank said in a Nov. 4 interview with The Daily Cardinal. Blank also mentioned that she envisions some police officers leaving UWPD if this passes, noting she “couldn’t

Students with a concealed carry permit would be allowed in campus buildings with the passing of Assembly Bill 480. blame them” for not wanting to be in that environment.

UW-Madison is one of the top public universities in the country, and to possibly sacrifice that for some unproven countermeasures based on nonexistent evidence is folly. The brain drain this campus could experience because they feel unsafe in the presence of concealed firearms is not worth it.

“The answer to this epidemic we’re seeing with gun violence is not to arm more people, especially not on this campus which is a safe place,” Lovicott said.

The opportunity for concealed carry on campus to do any form of good is extremely limited, and is far outweighed by the challenges

presented in its implementation.

There is little to no empirical evidence to suggest that “good guys with guns” will prevent a tragedy from happening or stop it short.

Our police officers and chancellor of the university have condemned the measure as reactionary and incendiary. The bill could cause an exodus of students, faculty, police officers and funding, as well as opening the door to new and unforeseen dangers to everyone who steps foot inside a university building.

Understanding the people and motives behind global terrorism ROBERT KOEHLER Letter to the Editor

I

’m sitting in the aftermath of Paris, feeling emotions tear me apart. One of the emotions is joy. My daughter, who lives there, is safe.

Has “joy” ever felt so troubling?

The aftermath of Paris seems likely to be intensified (“pitiless”) bombing raids in Syria, closed borders, heightened fear-based security and the deletion of “the gray zones of coexistence” across the planet.

Violence begets violence; war begets war.

Oh, it’s so nice to have an enemy who is truly evil! The logic of war is so seductive. It simplifies all these complex emotions. Just watch the news.

The news is that terror wins.

Indeed, terror is the cornerstone of civilization.

I couldn’t get that notion out of my head. That’s because I couldn’t stop thinking about an act of extraordinary terror that

took place a little more than a dozen years ago, and its relevance to the world’s current state of shock and chaos. Doing so made it impossible to contemplate the raw savagery of the ISIS killings in Paris and Beirut and everywhere else — the “my God!” of it all, as innocent lives are cut short with such indifference — in a simplistic context of us vs. them.

In March of 2003, the U.S. launched its invasion of Iraq with a bombing campaign called “Shock and Awe,” consisting of some 1,700 air sorties over the country that killed, according to Iraq Body Count, more than 7,400 civilians.

We launched our war on Iraq with the intent to commit terror on a scale ISIS could only dream of. The relevance of this is inescapable, not simply because it makes the United States and NATO brothers in terror with ISIS, but also because the war shattered Iraq and caused the death and displacement of millions more people and, ultimately, created the conditions in which ISIS was able to come to power.

What’s haunting to me is the absence of this shockingly rel-

evant recent history from most mainstream coverage of the Paris killings — or more to the point, the absence of almost any sort of trans-war consciousness, you might say, from the discussion of what we ought to do next.

Has ‘joy’ ever felt so troubling?

Considering that bombing campaigns, and war itself, are not only the equivalent of terror (“writ large”) but also wildly ineffective and counterproductive, producing, in the long term, pretty much the opposite of what rational, non-war-mongers crave, the failure of politicians and mainstream media types to reach beyond a riled militarism in their reaction to the Dark Ages terror in which ISIS specializes bodes poorly, I fear, for the future of humanity.

My daughter, who last Friday night had been at a rehearsal for an upcoming poetry event, found herself, at 10 p.m., as she

was leaving a tavern called Les Caves St.-Sabin, in the middle of the chaos. As she and her friends stepped into the street, someone came running past warning people to get back inside. They only learned, in bits and pieces, the enormity of what was still happening in their city. She spent the night at the tavern, a decorated basement that felt, she said, like a “medieval fallout shelter.”

In the morning, the Metro was running again, and she returned to her apartment. Only then did the horror hit her with full ferocity. She sat and cried, then got up and went to work.

However, the tears continue, if only in silence. The Paris tears are a small tributary to a worldwide River of Sorrow that swells beyond Paris and beyond Europe and the West to the broken, bombed, war-ravaged nations of the Third and Fourth World, the source of the planet’s 60 million refugees. This is the world of ISIS. Instead of continuing to bomb this world, in our fear and anger, we could try to understand it.

“ISIS is the first group since Al Qaeda to offer these young men a way to defend their dignity, family, and tribe.”

So wrote Lydia Wilson, a research fellow at the Centre for the Resolution of Intractable Conflict at Oxford University, in a recent piece for The Nation.

She and her colleagues, in an attempt to do just that — understand those who have given over their lives to ISIS — recently interviewed ISIS prisoners of war in Iraq and, in the process, found their humanity. Mostly they were young men in their 20s who grew up in the wake of the American occupation of Iraq; that is to say, in the midst of brutal civil war.

“The Americans came,” one of them told her. “They took away Saddam, but they also took away our security. I didn’t like Saddam, we were starving then, but at least we didn’t have war.

When you came here, the civil war started.”

Violence begets violence; war begets war. Knowing this is the starting place. It is time to start over.

Washington Redskins awarded NFC Offensive Name of the Week

Wisconsin DNR unveils anything goes Black Friday hunting event

By Dylan Anderson THE DAILY CARDINAL

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources announced Sunday that they will offer a special, one-time-only anything goes hunting event this Black Friday.

The event, which the DNR has anointed “Camo Friday” will see all usual DNR regulations lifted, allowing hunters to behave as they choose and kill as many animals as they can fit in their cars.

Camo Friday will require hunters to pay their usual registration fees and will last 24 hours, beginning at 12:01 a.m. Friday.

“I’m gonna be the first one in the deer stand,” hunting enthusiast Colton Daniels told The

Daily Cardinal as he spit a dark liquid into an empty Busch Light can. “Gotta get out early.

It’s gonna be an old-fashioned free-for-all out there. I’m gonna bring my bazooka and maybe even my mortars.”

The event is a first of its kind for Wisconsin and is being heralded as unprecedented nationwide.

The DNR adopted the idea in an attempt to increase revenue and invite casual and first-time hunters to become more involved.”

“I quit hunting years ago due to the DNR’s Soviet Union level regulations,” former avid hunter Chase Radford said. “I wanted to fill my Chevy up with six or seven big bucks and was

never allowed. But I’ll definitely be out there on Friday.”

Some are concerned that lifting all regulations will create a dangerous environment for hunters and will unnecessarily deplete the state’s limited game populations. But Radford says he is not worried.

“What’s the point of keeping all the deer alive if we can’t even shoot them and stuff their corpses to display in our living room?” Radford implored Cardinal reporters as he stepped into camouflage pants to match his coat and hat. “I ain’t worried ’bout getting shot either. If you’re scared, stay the fuck home. Yee-yee.”

Hungover test-taker ‘felt good’ in warmups

Just one week after announcing quarterback Kirk Cousins as NFC Offensive Player of the Week, the NFL has awarded Cousins’ team NFC Offensive Name of the Week.

Though Cousins struggled this Sunday, throwing for only 207 yards and one touchdown in his team’s loss to the Carolina Panthers, the NFL was impressed with the performance of the Redskins’ name in Week 11.

“I mean, it’s really fucking racist,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said. “There certainly wasn’t a more offensive name in the league this week.”

“Redskins is the only name in professional football that has

been called ‘a divisive epithet’ and ‘an outdated sign of division and hate’ by Native American tribes,” Goodell told Cardinal reporters. “I mean, who could vote against that?”

“I mean, it’s really fucking racist.”

Roger Goodell comissioner National Football League

However, Washington owner Daniel Snyder said he was “extremely surprised” that his team received the award. “I’ve been in denial about this since at least the ’90s,’’ he said.

Despite his throbbing headache and mildly upset stomach, UW sophomore Jeremy Davenport told Cardinal reporters that the name and ID portion of his economics exam actually went pretty well.

“At first it was tough to keep my pencil marks from going out of the scantron bubbles, but once I got through my ID number I had loosened up a bit,” says Davenport. “I filled in the special codes section with no problem at all. Hell, I even remembered my discussion section number.”

Davenport isn’t usually one to go out the night before an exam, but he made an exception this Thursday for his friend Jake’s 21st birthday party. “I studied all week so I could still go out and join in the festivities. What’s the point of college if you can’t have fun and do school too? I even drank a glass of water before bed to be sure I’d be ready in the morning.”

Despite his preparations, Davenport “definitely felt it” on Friday morning and barely managed to get up in time to make the 9:55 exam in the Social Science building. “By the time I showed up the TAs were already handing out the scantrons, so I knew I had some ground to make up before the actual test started.”

“All the bubbles were spin-

ning around in my vision and I accidentally put my first name in the last name spot and had to erase a lot, but then I pulled myself together and got in the groove,” said Davenport. “The key is to start in the middle of the bubble and go around and around until you’re very close to the edge but still not going outside of the designated area.”

After his solid performance on the ID portion of the exam

and a thorough analysis of the test’s front cover, Davenport began working on the rest of the test, quickly calculating the circumference of each individual bubble and filling it in accordingly, only later realizing that they were all the same size.

At press time, the professor and her assistants were diligently evaluating Davenport’s expertly marked but terribly incorrect answer bubbles.

Bronson Koenig hit a go-ahead layup in the waning seconds of the game to give the Badgers a 74-73 win over VCU in the 2K Classic at Madison Square Garden.

Badgers go 1-1 at 2K Classic in New York

By Matt Tragesser and Zach Rastall The daily cardinal

Wisconsin 74, VCU 73

While it certainly wasn’t their prettiest game, the Wisconsin Badgers (3-2) edged the VCU Rams (2-2) 74-73 Sunday to win third place at the 2K Classic at Madison Square Garden.

With seven seconds remaining the game, junior Bronson Koenig gave the Badgers their final lead with a crafty spinning layup that sliced through two VCU defenders.

The prolific guard led both teams with 22 points after producing a forgettable game against Georgetown Friday.

To start the game, Wisconsin came out firing on all cylinders, shooting 7-of-8 and producing a commanding 22-11 early lead.

Despite their hot start, the Rams had a ferocious comeback and finished the half on a 16-5 run, giving them a 43-37 lead over the Badgers.

In the early minutes of the second half, however, Wisconsin went on a 7-0 run, earning its first lead in the second half. For the

remainder of the half, the teams played closely, with neither team leading by six or more points.

Though they looked much better than when they played Georgetown, the Badgers were still plagued with turnover issues, as they gave up the ball 17 times. They entered halftime with 11.

Aside from turnover issues, Wisconsin simply couldn’t play lockdown defense. VCU had three scorers that scored 13-plus points and often the Badgers seemed especially out of place in their transition defense.

With Wisconsin having the most freshmen on its active roster in the entire nation, it’s no surprise that it will have growing pains like this.

“Winning and losing are habits you form. We have a lot of young guys. They have to be part of atmospheres and games like this,” junior Nigel Hayes said.

The preseason All-Big Ten forward finished the afternoon with 10 points, while redshirt freshman Ethan Happ produced a double-double, adding 12 points with 10 rebounds.

The Badgers also received a

nice boost from freshmen Khalil Iverson and Charlie Thomas.

In their first three games, the duo have looked promising, but they haven’t been able to produce much offensively.

Tonight, the two forwards combined for 14 points, five rebounds and three blocks. In a game where the winner was determined by one point, it is clear their contributions were undoubtedly needed.

VCU guard Melvin Johnson shredded Wisconsin with 21 points and the Rams’ bench outscored the Badger reserves 41-14.

Up next, the Badgers will return to the Kohl Center Wednesday and face off against the winless Prairie View A&M Panthers at 7 p.m.

Georgetown 71, Wisconsin 61

Faced with its toughest test of the young season, Wisconsin looked more like the team that dropped its season opener to Western Illinois and less like the one that impressed in wins over Siena and North Dakota.

The Badgers struggled might-

ily on offense throughout almost the entirety of the game and never once led, as the Hoyas rolled to a 71-61 victory in the 2K Sports Classic at Madison Square Garden.

Junior forward Nigel Hayes was a bright spot for the Badgers, scoring 22 points on 7-16 shooting. Ethan Happ added 12 points and 10 rebounds to record his first career double-double, but Wisconsin as a team failed to find much rhythm offensively.

The Badgers shot just 32.8 percent from the field, including 26.3 percent from 3-point range. They came stumbling out of the gates, with their first points of the game not coming until the 13:32 mark of the first half, when Hayes got UW on the board with a thunderous dunk.

By comparison, Georgetown shot 42.6 percent as a team, including a 50 percent mark from beyond the arc.

But despite its offensive struggles, Wisconsin stayed close throughout the first half, as the Hoyas also failed to generate much offense. Georgetown took a 27-22 lead into the locker room at halftime.

The Badgers came out firing in the second half, making their first

four shots. Though they got within two on a couple of occasions, they could never pull even with the Hoyas, who seemed to have an answer every time Wisconsin got within striking distance.

A 16-6 run midway through the second half gave the Hoyas a comfortable 12-point lead and Wisconsin would never cut the deficit to less than seven the rest of the way.

Sophomore forward Isaac Copeland led the way for Georgetown with 15 points, while junior forward Reggie Cameron added 14 and senior guard D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera and freshman center Jessie Govan each chipped in 13 for the Hoyas.

Both teams were sloppy throughout the afternoon, combining for 44 fouls and 26 turnovers. Redshirt junior guard Zak Showalter and junior forward each fouled out for the Badgers, marking the first time that multiple Wisconsin players fouled out in a single game since a 70-66 loss to Iowa on Jan. 19, 2013.

Over the last five years, the Badgers are 12-21 when they have a player foul out and 1-5 when multiple players reach five fouls.

Wisconsin continues perfect start with sweep of Lindenwood

By Jessi Schoville The daily cardinal

No. 1 Wisconsin (10-0-0 WCHA 14-0-0 overall) upended the Lindenwood Lions (1-3-2 CHA, 3-9-2 overall) in Madison by taking away a pair of physical victories this past Friday and Sunday. The Badgers resumed their record-breaking start to the season and continued to impress, both offensively and defensively.

The Badgers took the ice Friday at 2 p.m. in the first of the two-game series, and despite the disliked afternoon start time and lower attendance, Wisconsin mustered enough energy to put the Lions away 5-1.

The Badgers got going early when freshman wing Sophia

Shaver lit the lamp just over a minute into the game on an assist from junior wing Sarah Nurse and junior defender and assistant team captain Jenny Ryan.

In the second period, the UW offense absolutely went off, scoring two goals in less than a minute and another just before the period ended, leaving the Lions stunned and down 4-1 headed into the final frame. The Badgers would add one more via senior wing Rachel Jones 14:06 into the third, putting the exclamation point on an impressive 5-1 victory.

Sunday proved to be an equally notable performance for the Badgers, as they kept the net clean and took away a 4-0 win at LaBahn Arena. Sophomore center Emily

Clark struck first for UW 6:28 into the first period off of her own rebound and an assist from sophomore wing Annie Pankowski and Ryan. Clark and Pankowski continued to demonstrate the unique chemistry they have shown all season. Sunday was also shown to be a good day for Nurse, as she found the back of the net twice while Shaver added her second goal of the weekend.

“Obviously, yeah, the chemistry is definitely there with me, Annie, and Baylee (Wellhausen)” Clark said regarding her special relationship with the front line.

“I think we have all lot of success when we are moving our feet and we create more success for each other when were moving it, so I

think that encourages us to share the puck and we get rewarded for it.”

Wisconsin has now outscored its opponents 71-5, only allowing goals in three matchups and averaging five goals a game. Simply put, the defense has been smothering and the offense has been rolling. Ryan came into the weekend as the country’s lead scoring defender, averaging 1.33 points per matchup along with UW team captain and senior defender Courtney Burke, who ranks second, averaging 1.17 points per game. Burke and Ryan improved on those averages by scoring three points each this past weekend.

Ryan said her success this season is the fruit of a lot of hard

work this summer.

“For me personally I’m just working on putting the small things together in my game, getting shots through, playing a solid D zone.” Ryan said. “It helps that every time I get it to the forwards they are putting it in the net.

Makes everyone look good. I feel confident giving the puck to anyone on our team.”

With the stellar showing this weekend, the Badgers should maintain their No. 1 national ranking in both the USCHO.com and the USA Today poll.

Wisconsin will continue its homestand next weekend against Dartmouth, followed by a showdown with rival Minnesota the following weekend.

Controversial call costs UW on Senior Day

By Andrew Tucker The daily cardinal

The Wisconsin student section looked bad, as they pelted the cheerleaders with snowballs, but the Badgers (5-2 Big Ten, 8-3 overall) on the field didn’t look much better, losing to the No. 20 Northwestern Wildcats (5-2, 9-2) 13-7.

The first half was relatively slow, with Northwestern leading 10-0, and it could’ve been worse were it not for a missed 27-yard field goal. The two teams punted back and forth for the majority of the half with the Wildcats’ scores coming early in the first, and a field goal as time expired in the second.

Redshirt senior quarterback Joel Stave looked rough in the first half, stumbling for a loss on the first play of the game and later fumbling the ball away unforced. He also threw an interception after being hit during his throwing motion, going 8-of12 for 69 yards in the first half. He ended the day 20-of-34 for 229 yards, two interceptions and two fumbles, one of which he lost. On the cold day, seemed as if the weather affected the quarterback, but senior receiver Alex Erickson didn’t feel that way.

“I thought the conditions were fine, it was obviously a little chilly, but I felt like the weather didn’t have any factor in the game at all,” Erickson said.

The first drive of the second half looked better for the Wisconsin offense, as the team moved down the field in chunks and eventually scored to lessen the Northwestern lead 10-7. Stave found redshirt sophomore receiver Jazz Peavy twice, picking up 58 yards on the

drive to get the Badgers a first-andgoal. Junior running back Corey Clement made another injury return as he took the ball nine yards into the endzone.

On the ensuing Wildcat drive, a sack by redshirt junior linebacker Vince Biegel forced a punt, which Erickson took for a touchdown thanks to solid blocks and broken tackles. The referees saw it differently however, saying Erickson called for a fair catch, and the ball was placed at the Wisconsin 21-yard line.

The stadium rained down boos for the rest of the quarter, but the call stood nonetheless.

“I figured when I waved my hands the play would be done, but I didn’t really wave them much. In my mind, I was about to stop … I still didn’t hear no whistle, but that’s the rule,” Erickson said.

The Badgers moved the ball fairly well on the following drive, but were forced to punt, and once again, the teams traded the ball back and forth for the rest of the third quarter.

On the first drive of the fourth quarter, Northwestern was able to move the ball downfield, but again missed a field goal, this time a 40-yard try, keeping the otherwise hapless Badgers in the game.

With four minutes left in the game, Northwestern made a 37-yard field goal to make it 13-7. The Badgers and Wildcats traded the ball before the Badgers got it with 1:47 left on the clock at their own 26 and a chance to win the game.

UW marched down the field, and Stave threw what seemed to be the game-winning touchdown to redshirt sophomore tight end Troy

Fumagalli, but after the review, he was ruled down at the one.

After an incompletion on first down, Stave found Peavy in the corner of the endzone, who took a few steps, then fell out of bounds. For the second time, it seemed as though the Badgers won the game but, again, the play was reversed on the review.

It seemed like Peavy had control of the ball, and head coach Paul Chryst drew parallels to an earlier play.

“I thought he had gotten a couple feet down, a couple steps, very similar to what happened on [wide receiver Tanner McEvoy]’s fumble,” Chryst said.

After the reversal, Stave was sacked, and seemed out of sorts, so junior running back Dare Ogunbowale stepped up to spike the ball, in a heady play that could’ve made him the hero.

Instead, junior quarterback Bart Houston came into the game and wasn’t able to complete a pass to McEvoy in the endzone.

The loss doesn’t affect the Badgers’ chances to win the division, as Iowa’s win earlier Saturday clinched a trip to the Big Ten championship game, but the team still wanted to earn a win on Senior Day. “I want to come out here and play for my seniors. We have so many great guys who did so many great things here at the university … For us not to send those guys off on the right note, it’s a disappointing thing,” Biegel said.

The Badgers’ final game of the regular season is Saturday as they travel to the Twin Cities to take on Minnesota in the Battle for the Axe. Kickoff is at 2:30 p.m.

Bates’ crisp play caps off home sweep of Iowa

By Ben Pickman The daily cardinal

In principle, free throws are supposed to be, well, free. They are undefended and unimpeded by defenders. But nothing for Wisconsin (1-2) in its 87-64 loss against the Dayton Flyers (3-0) came free, especially its free throws.

The Badgers shot 52 percent from the charity stripe merely days removed from shooting an equally dismal 57 percent from the line in their loss to Drake earlier this week.

But their free throw woes were far from the Badgers’ only selfinflicted wound. Sunday afternoon, they committed a season-high 26 turnovers, which translated into 38 points for the Flyers.

Before the season, coach Bobbie Kelsey said that her team’s target turnover number is 14, but she even admitted that was a bit much.

For the second straight game, the Badgers’ perimeter woes proved to be the difference. They struggled defending the perimeter, allowing the Flyers to shoot 48 percent from beyond the arc. Flyers’ senior guard Kelley Austria made one fewer 3-pointer (four) than the entire Badger team (five). Austria, though, took only six shots compared to the Badgers’ 20.

Defensive communication has been a major issue for the

Badgers in their first three games.

But Sunday, one of the reasons for the aforementioned defensive struggles was due to foul trouble.

Senior Dakota Whyte, who in the first two games of the season performed admirably, played a mere 17 minutes because of foul trouble.

Whyte eventually fouled out late in the fourth quarter, finishing with four points and one assist.

Fellow senior guard Nicole Bauman had one of the worst games in her career, finishing with three points, four rebounds and three turnovers in only 23 minutes of play.

The bright spot for the Badgers Sunday afternoon was sophomore guard Cayla McMorris, who tied her career high with 17 points in 28 minutes. McMorris led the team in shot attempts as well as 3-point shooting.

The difference for McMorris this season has been her adjustment to the speed of the game.

“I feel like coming in, having a year under my belt now, I know how intense the game is and what to expect from the game,” McMorris said earlier in the week.

McMorris hopes to build on her own success as well as help the Badgers’ improve their overall play as the team travels to San Diego, Calif., to face Delaware and San Diego State, respectively, Nov. 27 and 29.
