UW grads leave Wisconsin, state devises plan to draw them back By Cameron Lane-Flehinger STAFF WRITER
When Elsa Davids considered applying to UW-Madison as a high school senior from Albuquerque, N.M., she didn’t know much about the state she would be committing four years of her life to — and the impression of Wisconsin she got from the people around her wasn’t always positive. “What I heard from other people was ‘drink a lot of beer, eat a lot of cheese, it’s going to be really cold,’” Davids said. “And that it was a pretty conservative state, and that was essentially all I heard.” Davids was undeterred by the warnings and became one of the more than 7,500 students annually from around the country and the globe who enroll at UW System schools. These students represent a potential boon to the state’s economy: thousands of highlyskilled workers coming out of the UW System with a connection to Wisconsin already in place. This is especially important in a state
that trails behind others in the upper Midwest in the education of its workforce and consistently ranks among the bottom five states in attracting new residents. Despite a strong high school graduation rate and affordable public higher education compared to neighboring states, Wisconsin’s workforce lacks highly skilled workers. Just 29 percent of the state’s adults have a bachelor’s degree or higher, three-and-a-half percent below the national average. But when it comes time for students like Davids to graduate and move into the workforce, that “new resident” potential is rarely realized. Five years after graduation, just 10 percent of out-of state UW students retain an address in the state, according to figures from the system’s annual accountability report. These recent graduates predominantly go south to Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thirty-two percent of out-ofstate students go on to live in Illinois — seeking out career opportunities they believe

University to add database for reporting sexual assault By Kayla Huynh STAFF WRITER
respond to the fight at Wando’s this weekend. In the meantime, city officials and police are meeting with business owners to discuss preventative measures, like installing more surveillance cameras and lighting. But some just want to see more patrol officers. Arturo Ruiz, manager of Village Pizza — a new latenight restaurant located a few doors down from Wando’s — says while he isn’t aware of any gang-related activity in the area, he has felt “unsafe” at times. “During store renovations, someone broke two of the windows,” Ruiz said, also adding that he has seen at least one “big” fight in the area recently. Ruiz said he would feel more
As sexual assault and harassment in the workplace has gained national attention, UW-Madison is working to update its prevention and reporting of sexual harassment on campus. The university will establish a central reporting system and database for reports and complaints of sexual harassment or sexual assault, according to a news release posted last week. Lauren Hasselbacher, the university’s Title IX Coordinator, said that it is important for all branches of the university, rather than only offices dedicated to sexual misconduct, to respond to sexual violence seriously. “It is essential that individual departments, schools/colleges and the entire university not only respond appropriately to all complaints and concerns of sexual harassment and violence, but also work proactively to create positive and inclusive environments for students and employees,” Hasselbacher stated in the news release. The news release, which highlighted UW’s efforts to improve campus safety, was made public on the same day the Wisconsin State Journal published an article reporting a series of sexual harassment allegations in the university’s Department of Urban and Regional Planning. Campus officials said in the post that they will continue efforts to “improve record keeping, training and referral processes.” After the 2015 Association of American Universities’ Sexual Assault Climate Survey found that 53 percent of female graduate and professional students said they have experienced sexual harassment on campus, the university made the Title IX Coordinator into a full-time position. The Title IX Coordinator organizes university efforts for prevention and response to sex discrimination. Title IX is a 1972 federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in educational institutions receiving public dollars, including UW-Madison. After the 2015 survey, UW made sexual harassment and sexual assault prevention training mandatory for graduate students. Undergraduate students

But that same WEDC research also exposed a potential bright spot for the state’s long-term prospects. Even after leaving Wisconsin, UW System graduates tend to hold positive opinions of the state and would consider moving back. And with Chicago experiencing an unusual population decline — it was the only one of the country’s top 10 metro areas to lose population in 2015 and 2016 — WEDC hopes to attract some of these departed graduates back to their alma mater’s state. That attempt comes in the form of a $1 million advertising campaign, set to begin this spring, targeting recent college graduates in the Chicago area. The exodus of young college graduates — exactly the demographic WEDC is targeting — represents “lowhanging fruit” for advertisements according to Kelly Lietz, WEDC’s vice president of marketing and brand management.
WEDC is hoping to use the advertisements — which will be found in subway stations, health clubs, bars and just about anywhere else affluent 21-35 year olds congregate — to change the stereotypical perceptions of Wisconsin that Davids got from her friends when applying to UW. Instead of cows, beer and cold, WEDC wants to sell Wisconsin as a safe, cheap place to raise a family that doesn’t compromise on quality of life — what Lietz calls the state’s “personal fulfillment opportunities.” “We are America’s dairyland certainly, but we’re much more than that as well,” Lietz said. Wisconsin’s ability to attract new highly skilled residents, and retain them longterm, will only become more important as the state transitions to an economy suited for the 21st century, according to a study of the state’s long-term employment trends conducted by Tessa Conroy and Matthew

City confronts ‘gang’ presence near campus By Gina Heeb CITY NEWS EDITOR
A strip of bars near the UW-Madison campus has become a center for “criminal gang” activity, according to some city officials. And local law enforcement is having trouble keeping up. Due to a “lack of resources,” city police had to request help from the UW-Madison Police Department to break up a fight Saturday at Wando’s Bar on University Avenue, MPD Chief Mike Koval wrote in a blog post. The incident comes as part of a recent spike in crime on the 600 block of University Avenue — including some instances in which MPD has had to deploy pepper spray to break up fights.

New technology could improve health diagnosis By Margaret Seybold THE DAILY CARDINAL
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, making up a huge amount of our bone, muscle and tendon mass. Collagen plays a key role in tissue function and stability. It is also a key indicator of tissue health. For these reasons, identifying the presence of collagen and noting its intrinsic structure can prove valuable in the healthcare field. Traditional optical microscopes are a crucial part of medical research. The problem? Collagen, at a molecular level, is completely transparent. Researchers here at UW-Madison are working around that. A group in the Department of Biomedical Engineering led by Paul Campagnola has created a novel solution to this molecule’s inconvenient attribute. “In some ways it’s a simple idea but no one has actually done it before,” Campagnola said, referring to his group’s new machine which includes a 3-D printed component that holds a rotating motor and a sample collection tube to an upright microscope. With this device, collagen can now be imaged with clarity. It is a key step toward the future of integrating personalized medicine into patient care for a variety of illnesses. Collagen takes on different structures depending on the health of the tissue it is in. In healthy tissue, it appears in a uniform gridlike pattern. If the tissue is cancerous, the collagen is distorted into different formations. Because of the complicated nature of cancer, “the only commonality of all cancers is that the collagen is remodeled,” Campagnola said, “It’s remodeled in all epithelial cancers. The things you think of as potentially cancerous: organs, skin, everything… it all has collagen remodeling.” Once applied to a clinical setting, the ability to view cancer patient collagen can better inform healthcare professionals and patients alike on the state of the illness and how to best move forward with treatment. Imaging collagen on a patient-specific level is one of the many innovations being categorized as personalized medicine. Personalized medicine is the tailoring of specific treatments based on a patient’s unique condition. According to Campagnola, the

A 2-D image of collagen fibrils photographed with electron microscopy. Collagen provides crucial information about tissue health and stability. collagen imaging technique will improve healthcare for patients of many different conditions aside from cancer. “It’s for cancer, but a lot of other diseases as well. Cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, there’s connective tissue disorders, fibroses… but we are primarily working on cancer and pulmonary fibrosis.” All of these diseases can be detected and classified by the state of collagen tissue and it has been impossible to assess collagen tissue structure without an accurate method for viewing it until now. However, a feat like this did not come overnight. This is why Campagnola dedicated almost 20 years to the project. Before his arrival at UW-Madison in 2010, Campagnola was at the University of Connecticut Health Center, where he worked with traditional microscopic imaging. “[Traditional imaging] allows you to take individual 2-D sections, so you can image one plane at a time, then you can take a series of them and build them up into three dimensions,” Campagnola said. Unfortunately, collagen is completely visible only when the molecule is perpendicular to the plane of sight. Campagnola takes a pen and holds it in such a way that the whole profile of the utensil is visible, ball-point to barrel. When the pen is held so that you’re facing directly at the point of it, barely any of it is visible. This barely visible perspective is how collagen is configured within a three-dimensional matrix of tissue. “Because the [microscope] has the property that your sample is mounted on the desk, the laser is coming in [facing the point]… you

don’t see the collagen molecules. And then as you tilt them closer and closer to the plane, they will get brighter.” Collagen at this parallel angle is invisible, unmeasurable and essentially not quantifiable. Moreover, because if its 3-D nature, no matter what angle you look at it, a substantial amount of the tissue will always be hidden. How is collagen imaging done then? A tissue sample is placed into the new machine that completely rotates the sample while taking images at every angle. “We took our tissue and we put it in a tube so it’s just like this pen and we spun it so we get views at all different angles. We take a three-dimensional data set at each angle. So if we have a fiber that’s transparent, when we rotate it in this way, we can see [the fiber].” Once the images are taken at every single angle, they are combined into one 3-D model using a complicated set of algorithms. This multidisciplinary project required collaboration from many departments. “There was engineering in making the mechanical structure to do this, but the equal challenge is the mathematical reconstruction where you take all of these images at all these different angles and put them back together. That’s a very serious challenge.” “We’re going to improve our experimental aspects so we can get better resolution, but also we are going to improve our reconstruction algorithms. We’re starting those things now.” Campagnola added. “We have something that works, but it’s nowhere near optimal,” Campagnola admitted. “We have demonstrated proof of principle, but it may not be good enough for what we really want to do. We actually have a lot of work to do.” Campagnola predicts that this technology will be implemented into a healthcare setting in just five to ten years from now. This technology is not only a possible diagnostic tool for cancer and other collagen-related disease, but also a possible method of understanding countless other structures of the human body. Many other molecules have visibility as obscure as collagen. Machines such as the one that Campagnola helped develop can enhance our understanding of the human body and what optimal health looks like at a molecular level.
The short answer: yes. The long answer: it takes a lot of effort and is very rare. Your stomach is most comfortable holding one to 1 1/2 liters on average. At most, your stomach can hold three liters. Your stomach has muscles that can expand with the food you eat. After your stomach muscles are stretched to the limit, the body has numerous built-in mechanisms to prevent stomach rupture. Some of these mechanisms include vomiting or feelings of nausea. In the few cases on record when a patient’s stomach has actually exploded, the incident was either due to intentional prevention of the natural built-in mechanisms or malfunction of the gut reflexes. The takeaway: feeling stuffed after a large Thanksgiving dinner is still far away from rupturing your stomach.
Dear Ms. Scientist, What makes stickers sticky? Brooklyn M. The sticky stuff on stickers is all because of the chemistry in it. The stick is caused by the bonds between different molecules. The sticky part, or the adhesive, is made up of long chains of molecules. When the adhesive comes into contact with a surface, the molecular chains on the adhesive form molecular bonds with the molecules on the surface. These molecular bonds are called ionic interactions. The more pores or spaces for the adhesive molecules to enter in, the better it sticks. Essentially, an ionic interaction is when a molecule with a plus charge comes in contact with a minus charge on another molecule, and the opposite charges allow these two molecules to interact and form a bond. It’s the same concept as how opposite poles on a magnet attract to each other. Stronger adhesives than regular stickers. such as duct tape, simply make stronger molecular bonds with the surface that they’re attached to, thus requiring more stress to pull apart.

Private funding for UW research could lose red tape with new bill By Lilly Price STATE NEWS EDITOR
Researchers in the UW System will have an easier time privately funding and commercializing their discoveries under a new bipartisan bill in the drafting process. Current law prohibits public employees from entering into contracts if they have private financial interest in the project. Proponents of the new legislation say it would fix the current law which is slow and time-consuming, leading to lost contracts.
The legislation, sponsored by state Sen. Dan Feyen, R-Fond du Lac, state Sen. Fred Risser, D-Madison, state Rep. David Murphy, R-Greenville, state Rep. Terese Berceau, D-Madison, and former state Sen. Sheila Harsdorf, R-River Falls, allows researchers who work for the university to contract with a private company that they have a financial or other type of stake in. “The Wisconsin economy is losing ground in research and development (R&D) businesscreation,” the legislators said

The bill would also implement a plan to screen for potential conflicts of interest between the researcher and the private entity rather than employ the current structure in which the UW Board of Regents reviews the contract during a 45-day period. Nonprofits and businesses would also fall under the umbrella of “research company” under the law, allowing System schools to contract with those type of companies as well. UW-Madison, which has fallen in recent years from its title as one of the top five research institutions in the nation, received $42.8 million less in research and development funding from private businesses compared to the other top-five research institutions according to the lawmakers. UW-Madison also received $55.5 million less than the average amount granted by non-profits. PROFS, the lobbying organization for UW-Madison faculty, supports the legislation, stating they are “pleased” it is in the process of being introduced. UW-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank and UW System President Ray Cross have also expressed support for the bill. The bill is in circulation for co-sponsors until Monday.
tance of many of the northern Chicago suburbs. To entice people to live in Wisconsin, the state and its stakeholders will need to find an appeal other than just employment. “One of the things we’re very aware of is the fact that young people choose where they want to be first and where they want to work second,” Lietz said. “We’re combining the jobs message with that lifestyle message to make sure that they understand that they have an opportunity for a very full life here in Wisconsin.” Those messages don’t seem to be getting through to students by the time they graduate. Despite emphasizing the connection between the state and its universities through the Wisconsin Idea, students say the UW System has failed to help them establish connections outside of the UW community.
Several UW-Madison seniors, when discussing their reasons for leaving the state after graduation, described feeling much less connected to the state as a whole than their peers from Wisconsin. “It’s been a very positive experience, but there’s nothing keeping me in Wisconsin,” Davids said of her time at Madison. “I’ve never felt that it’s been an emphasis to give back to the state. I’ve never really seen that in any of my courses or heard that repeated by any of my TAs or professors.” Until that sentiment changes, out-of-state students may continue to leave the state in large numbers in pursuit of opportunities elsewhere, a loss of the very people that WEDC and UW-Extension researchers say are the most important for the state’s economy in the 21st century.

ASM, sororities partner for ‘Thanks-Greeking,’ combat growing food pantry demand By Kayla Huynh STAFF WRITER
While many UW-Madison students feasted with their families over the Thanksgiving holiday, some Badgers were struggling to avoid hunger. UW-Madison sororities and the Associated Students of Madison worked together to solve this problem through the creation of a donation drive, “Thanks-Greeking,” that collected nonperishable food items and personal care products for students facing food insecurity on campus. The week-long campaign raised over 230 pounds of food and toiletries for UW-Madison’s on-campus food pantry, The Open Seat. According to Courtney Morrison, ASM’s press office director, the idea for “ThanksGreeking” was initiated when Tye Swokowski, The Open Seat’s external director, shared that “the demand for the [food pantry] has nearly doubled over the past school year.” “The Greek system is very oriented towards service, and each chapter traditionally holds a lot of pride in their individual chapter philanthropy they are a part of,” Morrison said in a release. “This campaign was very unique in that it brought every chapter together for a common cause, a cause that has the ability to impact other Badgers on our campus directly.”
The effort comes after a campus climate survey revealed food insecurity as a prevalent issue among students. The survey showed that 12 percent of UW-Madison students were unable to afford housing or food. Transfer students and students of underrepresented identities were most likely to report that they could not afford these necessities.
“By collecting items for The Open Seat, students are not only raising awareness about college food insecurity, but also providing necessities to those in need.”
Kim Gromek internal director The Open Seat
Kim Gromek, The Open Seat’s internal director, said in a press release that campus donation drives are an important way for “students to give back to their peers.” “By collecting items for The Open Seat, students are not only raising awareness about college food insecurity, but also providing necessities to those in need, which allows [students] to focus on their studies,” Gromek said.

ccording to data collected by UW-Madison from 2006-’11, the average graduation rate of students was 56.8 percent in four years and 81.9 percent in five years. However, these numbers look drastically different for firstgeneration students, as only 46.2 percent graduate in four years and 74.7 percent graduate in five years. Shouldn’t students’ chances for success at UW-Madison be the same, regardless of their families’ educational background? Forbes reports that the median household income for students with parents that have earned a degree is $99,635. For families of first-generation students, the median income is $37,565. To put that in perspective, the Office of Financial Aid estimates the cost for Wisconsin residents attending UW-Madison for one year, including tuition, room and board, books and supplies and other expenses, is $25,699.60 — just about $12,000 shy of an entire year of income for the families of first-generation students. As a result of this financial barrier, many first-generation students need to work one or more jobs in order to offset the costs of tuition and other living expenses. Working, attending classes and staying on top of schoolwork can place significant stress on first-generation students that many of their non-first-generation peers do not have to worry about. “When you’re working to financially support yourself due to being a first-generation student, it can be really, really difficult. So you kind of have to get a thicker skin and sometimes take some hits in certain areas such as social life, work or grades,” said Sean Durbin, a first-generation student and UW-Madison junior. First-generation students face many of the same obstacles and stressors as their peers but don’t have the same guidance and resources of family members who’ve been through the college experience. Many don’t know what to expect at all when coming to college. “Everyone [in my family] expected it to be like high school. So I thought ‘OK, it’s going to be like high school.’ And it was not like high school,” said Dominique Perry, another first-generation college student and UW-Madison junior. “They didn’t understand the struggle college was. They definitely expected me to get straight As in college.” Perry, like many other first-generation students, doesn’t have her parents’ advice to rely on when she runs into difficulties in college. If firstgeneration students cannot receive collegiate support and guidance from their families, then it is the university’s duty to help guide these students The Center for Educational Opportunity (CeO) is the only resource on campus that specifically serves first-generation students, in addition to students whose families meet a certain income level and students with disabilities. They provide

First-generation college students attending UW-Madison have to navigate additonal stressors on top of academics when compared to their peers. academic advising, STEM advising, tutors, a peer mentoring program and other support programs for the students that utilize the center.
No student should feel like an imposter at a university they’ve worked so hard to attend.
Claudia Mosley, director of the CeO, stressed the importance of its role in providing a support system for first-generation students. “When you don’t have a legacy of higher education in your family, you’re not getting a phone call saying, ‘OK, go to your instructor and if you don’t like what they say then go to the head of the department’ … they’re not getting that kind of conversational advice,” she said. Mosley also pointed out university requirements that have unintentional consequences on first-generation students. UW-Madison’s nursing and engineering programs have strict course or credit requirements each semester. As a result, first-generation students are effectively blocked from pursuing these majors, as balancing such an intense course load with long work weeks is not realistic. “An inadvertent outcome or consequence of this is that our students have to make difficult choices,” Mosley said. “They have to resolve that they’re going to take a slower time with the major or if that is not possible because of the instructors and policies of that college, then they may have to consider alternate majors.”
Over the past five years, firstgeneration students, on average, have comprised 34 percent of applicants to the upper division nursing program and 31 percent of the incoming cohort, according to Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs, Karen Mittelstadt. Mittelstadt noted several services such as the Nursing Learning Center, a low academic advisor-to-student ratio and a largely need-based scholarship program as ways the Nursing School provides support for all students, including those who are first-generation. If intensive academic programs are not structured in a way that makes them truly accessible for all, the university is failing its first-generation students that have worked just as hard, if not harder, than their peers. First-generation students may also experience the “imposter syndrome” phenomenon where they feel like they do not actually belong or are not wanted in a space which can lead to a further sense of isolation. In addition to social barriers at school, first-generation students may face additional strain on family relationships. “You almost feel guilty coming to school,” Durbin said “It seems like [families] feel like you’re just ditching them and going on to bigger and better things and leaving them behind, when that’s not always the case.” As of 2016, there were 29,536 undergraduates at UW-Madison. Of them, 5,333 were first-generation college students. The CeO is currently only funded to serve 435 students — just 8 percent of that population. Because this is the only service specifically geared toward firstgeneration students, the university also emphasizes other services that
first-generation students should utilize. Wren Singer, the director of Undergraduate Advising, notes that the whole system of undergraduate advising has been enhanced. In fact, her position was created just five years ago in order to make sure students are getting the support they need from the university. The goal of this is “academic advising being better for everybody which will also help first generation and other students who come with certain disadvantages to do better,” Singer said. In regard to the graduation gap, Singer asserts that the gap is getting narrower over time because of these current structured efforts to make a change, and that it will take time before we start seeing a decrease in the gap as a result of current programs. Advisors cannot just blatantly ask students if they are first-generation, so instead they should ask questions related to their family and home situation which will help advisors get a fuller picture of students and be able to better advise them.
If first-generation students cannot receive collegiate support and guidance from their families, then it is the university’s duty to help guide these students.
But in order to better serve firstgeneration students, more funding needs to be allocated to the CeO so it can serve more first-generation students. They are the only resource specifically dedicated to this, so it is crucial that it receives enough support and funding in order to have the best resources and services for the
students who need it most. Even though the CeO is a great resource for first-generation students, first-generation students still need to meet with academic advisors for their specific major, meet with professors and TAs in office hours and utilize other services outside of CeO. Professors and academic advisors are not specifically trained to be sensitive or understanding to the situations of first-generation students. Mosley stressed the importance of training and awareness among all advisors on campus in order to help first-generation students succeed. The university has made strides, though, in showing its support of first-generation students. At the start of the fall semester, the university began Badger Promise, a program that provides up to four semesters of free tuition for firstgeneration students who have transferred from any of the two-year UW colleges. The program aims to make UW-Madison more accessible for those who may have thought they would never be able to attend our state’s flagship university. While there is certainly more work to be done in order to fully support first-generation students, the university’s creation of the Badger Promise is a step in the right direction. No student should feel like an imposter at a university they’ve worked so hard to attend. No student should have less of a chance for success than their peers. The right to a college education, and to attend a prestigious university like UW-Madison, should not belong to an elite class of people — it should be accessible and available to all who have worked hard to be accepted.

The week in review: Björk shines, holidays arrive, latest beats from CyHi By Logan Rude MUSIC COLUMNIST
As the year approaches its finale, we’re thrown into a blitzkrieg of artists releasing highly anticipated — and sometimes unexpected — albums. Björk, Fabolous & Jadakiss and a slew of holiday-themed artists all released projects this weekend. Björk’s ninth album Utopia is the clear standout from the weekend. She’s never been one to conform to the norms of the music industry, and that remains true now. The record is a stark shift from her previous project in terms of theme. In a March interview with AnOther Magazine, Björk said, “The last album, we sort of call it ‘hell’ – it was like divorce! So we are doing paradise now. Utopia.” The difference is quite apparent. Utopia is lush, incredibly layered and dense. It’s a must listen. In what seems like a throwback to 2003, rappers Fabolous and Jadakiss released a collaborative album called Friday on Elm Street. The two New York based rappers teamed up for an album that would’ve been better suited for a Halloween release. Bars and boasting is the name of the game for the two rappers; the two trade bars back and forth over 12 tracks backed by a horror-tinged boom-bap production. A swagger-filled album, Friday on Elm Street is prime listening material if you’re looking for a taste of Halloween to go with the upcoming holiday tracks. And of course, now that Thanksgiving is over, the holiday season is here. The most telltale sign that we’ve begun the descent into holiday mad-
ness is the sudden proliferation of brand new holidaythemed albums popping up all over. Gwen Stefani, DRAM and Sia all released holidaythemed records the night of Thanksgiving. For modern takes on some holiday classics — as well as a couple of original tracks — go give them a listen. That’s all for this week’s albums, but there’s a also few honorable mentions from the week of Nov. 19 that are definitely worth checking out. CyHi the Prynce released his highly-anticipated, long-delayed debut album No Dope On Sundays. It’s littered with GOOD Music features, clever wordplay and some thrilling beats. The album is not the best project of the year, and some fans might be disappointed after waiting for nearly seven years, but it’s worth a listen nonetheless. Similarly, Jaden Smith released his debut SYRE . Always under the spotlight as a child celebrity, Smith’s prior projects came under a lot of scrutiny, and his debut answers some of the criticisms he received. The production is fascinating but the lyrics struggle with a sort of pseudo-intellectualism throughout the project. A personal favorite was the latest release from NxWorries — Anderson .Paak and Kxnwledge’s collaborative efforts. Yes Lawd! Remixes revamps the instrumentals for a chunk of the tracks from their first collaboration. Some of Kxnwledge’s new beats are better than the originals, some are worse than the originals and some are just there. Either way, it’s a bundle of new music for diehard fans.

While its heroes entertain, “Justice League” suffers from tonal inconsistencies and lacks complexity.
‘Justice League’ drowns its iconic characters in a CGI-filled, basic story By Alex M. Jankovich FILM COLUMNIST
Upon leaving the theater after viewing “Justice League,” it can be misleading to judge the film based on excitement for its characters or the introduction of humor into the DC universe. However, DC’s first attempt at a large-scale team-up movie fails to bounce back from “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” the universally panned previous installment in the franchise. After the events of 2016’s “Batman v Superman” mankind is in mourning (SPOILER) after the selfless sacrifice and death of Superman (Henry Cavill). In his absence, an apocalyptic menace known as Steppenwolf is able to return to Earth in order to destroy and claim ownership of our world. Upon this discovery, Batman (Ben Affleck) and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) must gather a team of unlikely heroes to save mankind from its destruction. Together, the two are quickly able to recruit newcomers Cyborg (Ray Fisher), Aquaman (Jason Momoa) and the Flash (Ezra Miller) in hopes of overcoming Steppenwolf’s army and saving the world they have sworn to protect. The troublesome issue with the film is that Joss Whedon and Chris Terrio’s script lacks complexity. In an attempt to appeal to a wider and more family-friendly audience, the creative team chose to tell an uninspiring and elementary story. Director Zack Snyder completely eliminates any elements of ethical dilemmas or character developments presented in his previous DC films. Instead, the film’s heroes become stereotypical jocks that
deliver the occasional joke in an attempt to appear relatable. The script is also unable to utilize the unique abilities of each of its heroes and ultimately creates inconsistent action sequences. The best element of any superhero team-up movie is the excitement of watching action sequences that are tailored to present each hero as essential to success. Unfortunately, fans of Aquaman, Batman and the Flash should not expect “Justice League” to provide any solid evidence as to why their favorite hero needed to be invited to the party at all. The dark and digital effectsheavy visuals of Snyder films have been met with mixed reception for years and unfortunately, “Justice League” is his laziest endeavor. Audiences have become accustomed to brooding digital villains and armies throughout the superhero genre; however, this film becomes unique with its dependence on green screen for even the simplest of locations. Although the story doesn’t necessarily suffer from this creative choice, it displays a laziness on behalf of Snyder’s team and gets distracting when trying to become invested in the characters. On a more comedic, behind-the-scenes note, pay close attention to Henry Cavill’s face, because the digital effects team behind “Justice League” had to digitally remove a full-grown mustache from his face during reshoots. Cavill was busy filming Paramount’s “Mission Impossible 6” during the reshoots of this film, thus contractual obligations hindered Superman himself from shaving it off.
Fortunately for the DC universe, simply watching the iconic characters that have dominated pop-culture for decades compensates for the film’s otherwise dull execution. Wonder Woman is unquestionably the best character that this film franchise has in its arsenal, and after the success of her solo film this past summer, we can expect her to take the lead in the future. Aquaman and Cyborg are both given fairly decent introductions, but they are not given nearly enough time to present full, fleshed-out characters. While Miller’s Flash provides a majority of the heavy lifting when it comes to the comedic aspects of the film, the jokes don’t quite fit with the tone that DC has chosen for their film universe, making his character feel out of place. The only performance in the film that appears to have reached its end is Affleck’s Batman. The actor does not seem to enjoy portraying the character any longer after the harsh backlash towards “Batman v Superman” last year, and unfortunately, it has hindered the quality of the character. If the DC universe wants to expand any further on their Batman mythology, it might need to be with a new actor. That being said, the opportunity to watch these emblematic characters share the screen together is what will keep the fans and most audiences entertained. A simple narrative and distracting visuals impede “Justice League” from being the success that audiences and the DC creative team needed. Excitement towards these iconic characters can only carry this franchise so far and it is becoming frustrating to see how this studio doesn’t quite know how to utilize them.

Rotting jack-o-lantern mistakenly mixed, blended into Thanksgiving pumpkin pie By Patrick Hoeppner THE DAILY CARDINAL
The Dreyfuss family’s Thanksgiving dinner was ruined after grandchildren noticed a sizable amount of mold in the pumpkin pie. Shane, the youngest grandchild, began to cry after returning home from school and finding the Jack-O-Lantern gone from its place on the doorstep. After calming his histrionics, Grandma Dreyfuss extracted her pumpkin pie from the oven and was floored by a hideous stench of rotting pumpkin. The Jack-O-Lantern had found its way into the Duckworth pumpkin pie. “Disgusting,” Jackie, the youngest granddaughter, said, as she looked upon the green pumpkin pie. “It’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen.” Angela Dreyfuss, the matriarch, cited Grandma’s fail-
ing vision as the prime factor behind the culinary catastrophe. Her pie-baking expertise had won the Barnard County Fair prize for over a decade straight, and her family cites the baked-in complacency of such acclamation as precedent for the catastrophe.
“Since it’s at Grandma’s house we will all be obliged to dig in.”
Shane middle grandchild
“Side by side, a fresh harvest pumpkin and a carvedup, squirrel-eaten jack-o-lantern look much the same,” she said, “although the ailing eyesight doesn’t explain how she
missed the tactile sensations of a carved pumpkin versus an uncarved one.” “I thought Frank carved holes in the pumpkin so it would be easier to cut,” Betty said. “Then he came up with the fresh pumpkin, and it all made sense.” “It’s such a shame,” twelveyear-old Shane, the middle grandchild, said. “There’s usually some delight in eating the pumpkin pie – and since it’s at Grandma’s house we will all be obligated to dig in. But I can see a garden growing out of my slice,” he said, as he reluctantly spun the slice in circles with a fork. “We could cook another pie, which I’m sure the health inspector would approve of, but then we wouldn’t be able to eat it for Thanksgiving dinner,” Frank Dreyfuss, the patriarch of the clan, thundered across the table as

The pumpkin suspected of sabotaging the Dreyfuss family dinner. Cardinal reporters frantically scribbled notes. “Tradition is valued in this household above all.” “I hear a little bit of mold
is good for you,” Frank Dreyfuss said, as he nonchalantly chewed his piece of moldy pie. “That’s how they make cheese, anyways.”
Back button for UW Student Center ‘never gonna happen’ according to Chancellor Rebecca Blank By Noah Mack THE DAILY CARDINAL
IMAGE COURTESY OF CREATIVE COMMONS
Becky Blank’s newest proposal for a button to be put in place of the standard browser back button.
Chancellor and technological masochist Becky Blank announced that UW-Madison’s Student Center will not be getting the back button that’s so highly sought after by the student body. The announcement occurred following this year’s class registration, a gruelingly long process made radically worse by the website’s complete lack of features or any semblance of sense. “I tried to add Econ 101 to my schedule for next
semester but accidently hit Ecology 101. When I tried to just go back to the last page, like any other website on the internet, I couldn’t find that leftward arrow. Like, come on… I’m in a computer science class right now and I think I could probably code in a quick little back arrow within a couple hours, it ain’t hard,” said freshman Connie Johnson. Stories similar to Connie’s aren’t unique. Students across campus have felt the effects of the horribly designed website for years with no
help from university staff. Chancellor Blank sat down with Cardinal reporters to discuss the possibility of changing her mind and maybe adding something, anything, to improve this god-awful website.
“I think I could probably code a quick little back arrow within a couple hours.”
Connie Johnson student
“Absolutely never gonna happen. Not now, not ever. Our motto is ‘On Wisconsin’, we don’t look back,” said Blank. “The student center builds character; back buttons just make you soft.” New iterations of the website are in the works however, and could mean some quality of life improvements for students, according to Blank. “Big things are coming. BIG THINGS. But let me be very clear about this: a back button will unquestionably not be one of those big things. Comprende?”
What I’m thankful for this year: Trump’s humble remarks, Joe Barton’s nudes and classic gluttony By Samantha Munro Jones THE DAILY CARDINAL
Since spending the holiday of togetherness by driving for hours to be in a food coma the entire weekend with your uncle yelling obscenities over a football game is the best way, Thanksgiving is always a blowout. However, this year, the weekend festivities were filled with surprises. Not only did TIME Magazine offer the President the Person of the Year Award for the second year in a row, but the humble leader declined the offer in hopes that someone less fortunate could get it. “I see myself as a humanitarian. I’ve already won it, I don’t need it again. Give
it to someone that would never get it on their own, like the Pope or Taylor Swift. They haven’t really achieved anything- think of it as a little confidence boost,” Trump said after he made his kind gesture public for all to see on Twitter. Now that the shoe-in winner is out of the race, the award is completely up for grabs. As if this declined offer wasn’t shocking enough, the American public was awarded with something we have all been waiting for: Texas Congressman Joe Barton — NAKED!! While the representative claims to be very embarrassed about the leaked pictures and is unsure of where they came
from, many believe that this stunt was intentional and made to boost his ratings. After seeing it, we don’t blame him (;
“I see myself as a humanitarian.”
Donald Trump president
Lastly, to ensure that this holiday weekend was complete, the American public indulged in complete and utter gluttony for three days straight. While only 5 billion dollars were
spent online in 24 hours, the statistics for overall revenue from in-store Black Friday (or should we say, Black WednesdaySunday) have not been released yet, allowing for redemption. The Best Buy, Target, and Walmart lines did not disappoint, so I am sure that we topped last year’s total. Now that you have the recap of everything that mattered about this weekend, and treat yourself to some sweet potatoes and Cyber Monday deals, as you can never save enough money that you normally wouldn’t be spending! I only wonder what surprises and treats Christmas break will bring for us this year.

Undefeated: Wisconsin found recipe for success in perfect 12-0 regular season
BRANDON MOE/THE DAILY CARDINAL
Wisconsin beat Minnesota on Saturday, keeping Paul Bunyan’s Axe for the fourteenth straight season. With the win, the Badgers are now 12-0 — the first undefeated regular season in program history. Next Saturday, Wisconsin will play Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship. A win against OSU will likely put UW in the College Football Playoff. By Lorin Cox THE DAILY CARDINAL
Minneapolis — The No. 5 Wisconsin Badgers (9-0 Big Ten, 12-0 overall) don’t have a secret recipe for an undefeated season. But they’re still happy to tell you how to do it. Take two cups of preparation and mix in three tablespoons of meticulous attention to detail. Stir with a laser-sharp focus and cover to avoid outside distractions. Let sit for 13 weeks and then serve to Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game. Sprinkle in grit to taste.
“We’ve got such a great group of guys in that locker room. It’s easy to focus on each week, week-to-week.” Troy Fumagalli redshirt senior tight end Wisconsin football
It’s that simple. That’s how UW came out of every single
game victorious this season, a regular season capped off with a 31-0 shutout of the Minnesota Golden Gophers (2-7, 5-7). The recipe for success didn’t change whether it was playing a ranked Michigan opponent coming to Camp Randall or a twowin Illinois team on the road. The preparation was the same, the mentality was the same. So it’s no real surprise the result was the same. “If you get looking ahead, that’s how you slip up and that’s how you ruin the goals that you set out at the beginning of the year,” redshirt junior left tackle Michael Deiter said. “The best thing to do is to really focus the week’s task and to work that way, and hopefully everything should work out.” The Badgers had no trouble focusing on Minnesota for their final game of the season. Paul Bunyan’s Axe provided plenty of motivation, but Wisconsin wasn’t going to allow an underachieving Gophers team to spoil their perfect season.
“We’ve got such a great group of guys in that locker room. It’s easy to focus on each week, weekto-week,” redshirt senior tight end Troy Fumagalli said. “It was axe week. Everybody loves axe week, looking forward to it, and we’re going to carry that forward. We’re 12-0 but all of our goals are still in front of us.”
“I do think we’re playing really well. But there’s never going to be a point where you say you’ve hit your peak.” Michael Deiter redshirt junior left tackle Wisconsin football
It’s been the same message after every Badgers win: It’s just one game. Focus on the next one. Get better every day. Paul Chryst has instilled a team-wide obsession with striving for a level of perfection that even they admit is unreachable. “I do think we’re playing really

well,” Deiter said. “But there’s never going to be a point where you say you’ve hit your peak. Everything can always be a little bit cleaner.” Even in a blowout rivalry game, UW wanted more. 31-0 was as clean of a game as Wisconsin has played this season, but even just moments after it concluded, the Badgers saw missed opportunities and a Minnesota team that had two opportunities to hit field goals and put points on the board. “The thing was, we were looking for a turnover,” redshirt junior safety D’Cota Dixon said. “Didn’t really get it today, but you can’t be too mad with the 3-and-outs.” It’s a delicate balance between being confident in themselves and being hard on themselves. The Badgers believe in each other and truly believe they can beat anyone. But, at the same time, they never let that make them complacent or lose that drive for constant improvement. It’s led them to an incredible season that none of the players will ever forget. But 12-0 was just
12 steps along the path towards an even bigger goal that continues to drive them.
“We do a good job of staying in the moment. I think we do a good job of preparing. I think that’s our advantage.” D’Cota Dixon redshirt junior safety Wisconsin football
“I don’t think you want to erase the regular season because that’s something historical. It’s memorable, but at the same time, you do have to move on,” Dixon said. “We do a good job of staying in the moment. We do a good job of preparing. I think that’s our advantage going into the week going against Ohio State.” The Badgers have been burnt the last five times they’ve played the Buckeyes, but something new is cooking in Wisconsin, and chef Chryst has his recipe one step closer to perfection.
