Wis. measles outbreak worries health ofﬁcials By Jennifer Evans THE DAILY CARDINAL

State health ofﬁcials and UWMadison clinicians are urging the public to become properly vaccinated against measles after four cases of the disease were conﬁrmed in the Milwaukee area last week. A 37-year-old man and three children under two years old with no history of immunizations are the only known cases of measles in the state, according to the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services. “Measles is one of the scariest, most contagious diseases known to man,” James Conway, UWMadison associate professor of pediatrics said. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, symptoms of measles include fever, rash and pinkeye, and, in severe cases, pneumonia, brain damage and death. Because measles can be trans-

ferred through the air and those infected might shrug off the eight to 10 days of cold-like symptoms before realizing they have the disease, the number of cases could increase, Conway said. While no vaccine is perfect, Conway said the measles vaccine is 99 percent effective. Stephanie Marquis, spokesperson for the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services, said the Wisconsin health department is working with local health ofﬁcials to try to contain the disease. “Our recommendation at this time is for those who have not been vaccinated to do so,” Marquis said. MMR, the vaccine used to protect against measles, comes in a combination with the vaccines for mumps and rubella. To receive full protection from the vaccine, doctors recommend measles page 3

State cigarette tax short of earlier projections by millions THE DAILY CARDINAL

The January cigarette tax increase is not generating as much revenue as expected, according to state officials Friday, though supporters said it is forcing people to quit smoking. Documents from the state Department of Revenue show the March 2008 collections were over $40 million, up from $22 million last year. The tax raised cigarette prices to $1.77 per pack from $0.77 per pack. However, collections would have to be around 11 percent higher for each remaining month in the fiscal year to reach the amount projected in the state budget, said Rob

Reinhardt, a program supervisor at the state Legislative Fiscal Bureau. Reinhardt said it was too early to estimate if the tax would continue to not earn as much as expected, as only a few months’ worth of data are available, but collections do need to increase. He said the cigarette tax was meant to generate $449 million in the budget. Maureen Busalacchi, executive director of SmokeFree Wisconsin, said the tax is working because more people are not smoking. She said 20,000 people called the state hotline intended to help people quit in only a few months. Busalacchi said the cigarette cigarette page 3

UW-Madison’s Kohl Center was transformed into an elaborate game show set this weekend, as Jeopardy! America’s Favorite Quiz Show taped the 2008 College Championship. Fifteen college students, including UW-Madison senior Suchita Shah and Marquette University’s Danielle Zsenak, competed for the top prize of $100,000. To honor its host university, the show’s set inside the Kohl Center depicted a backdrop of campus landmarks. UW-Madison is the ninth college campus to host the tournament. The audience included many UW-Madison students dressed in red apparel, cheered loudly throughout the taping and held up hand-made signs to support their favorite contestants. “This is great, it’s a lot of fun,” Mayor Dave Cieslewicz said. “I’ve been watching the show since I was a little kid.” Cieslewicz reminded audience members that Gov. Jim Doyle ofﬁcially declared April 11 “Jeopardy! Day” in the jeopardy page 3

Library event emphasizes solutions to illegal ﬁle sharing By Stephanie Dar THE DAILY CARDINAL

UW-Madison Libraries held a forum Saturday at Memorial Union about peer-to-peer file sharing, fair use and the difficulty of deciphering copyright laws. Nelson Pavlosky, co-founder of the national Students for Free Culture, shared his personal experiences working with creativity and copyrights. Pavlosky said the creative process repeats itself over time. After witnessing something inspirational, individuals create their own works. Future generations then reference these works and continue to create, based off of

the work of others before them. “We do not create out of thin air,” Pavlosky said. “Rather what we have is a creative cycle.”

“We do not create out of thin air. Rather what we have is a creative cycle.” Nelson Pavlosky co-founder Students for Free Culture

During his undergraduate career, Pavlosky sued Diebold, a company that manufactures

electronic voting machines, for falsely claiming that he was infringing on their company’s copyrights. Prior to the lawsuit, Pavlosky posted on his website internal memos that leaked from Diebold stating they had knowledge of problems with their equipment. Pavlosky won his case, and used this experience to discuss the concept of fair use. “Fair use is a use which you can make of a copyrighted work, even if you do not have the permission of the copyright holder,” he said. ﬁle sharing page 3

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

’m not sure about the rest of campus, but around Lakeshore, the kids in Short Course have a wild reputation. For them, college was a 16-week vacation from the farm, and they loved every minute of it. My friends would complain about their trucks roaring out of the lot at all times of the night, blaring their country music and their less-than-sexy tractors. But really, I liked them. They were generally nice guys who knew how to have a good time. But the week Short Course graduated, they wore on my nerves. On a Tuesday night, there was a young man marching around the parking lot for an hour screaming, “toga, toga, TOGA!” which confused me because he wasn’t even wearing one. Thursday someone installed a novelty horn and tested it for six hours straight. I like “The Dukes of Hazzard,” but no one likes it

that much. So, come Friday, I was ready for a little revenge. My friends and I were peoplewatching Friday afternoon. The Short Coursers had a game of volleyball going. We’re not sure what happened, but there was some guy lying in the middle of the court not moving. Everyone was just playing around him, but he had been completely still for a full five minutes now, and we were debating whether or not to call the paramedics. The sound of laughter from the parking lot caught our attention. A man was standing in the back of his pick-up, with a small crowd gathered around. He seemed to be telling a story, his arms waving around frantically. Then, the man bent down and picked up something large and metal. His crowd burst into cheers. Then he slipped whatever it was in back into his truck bed. I turned to my friends. They knew our mission before the words were out of my mouth. It was a giant road sign; shiny, beautiful and soon to be ours. We waited until night fell. We dressed all in black with sassy stilettos so we could feel like spies.

There was a basketball game on, so there weren’t a lot of people around. We crept outside, and in a series of tuck-and-roll maneuvers, made our way to the truck. We had underestimated our target. From the window it had looked manageable, but up close it was five feet-by-five feet and was far more challenging than we had expected. We tried to move it, but the three of us alone could barely budge it, let alone run it to the safety of our secret lair, a.k.a under my bed. We scurried back to the dorm. We needed assistance, and we went to our friend Kale. Fortunately, he had fully recovered from his skirmish with the werewolf on our previous expedition and was ready to help. We hurried back outside. People were slowly filtering out of their dorms now. Our diversion had been the UW- Davidson basketball game and, as we all know, it wasn’t much of a diversion. We skipped the tuck-androlls and headed straight for the truck. Kale leapt into the back of the truck and heaved the sign out. We grabbed it and made a mad

dash for the dorm. I can’t say we were very sneaky at this point; we were running around with a sign that was almost taller than some of my coconspirators, and we were laughing like lunatics. We bolted up the stairs to my room to bask in the glory of our treasure. It said “Rough Road.” That’s it. No “Speed Hump,” no “Spoonwood Blvd.” not even “Slow Children at Play.” The thrill of the adventure was wearing off, and we realized we were now stuck with the task of hiding a five-byfive sign in a 10-by-12 room. Instead of just putting the sign back, it is now safely tucked away in an obscure, secret location. I’ve warned my parents to bring bungee cords to strap it to the roof when it comes time to move me home, but haven’t explained to them exactly why we will need the extra precautions. For some reason, I don’t think they are going to like this story as much as I do. Megan is debating whether to continue this column next year or pass the torch.

State moves ahead in national grant selection process Wisconsin is one of 11 states to advance in a national grant program competition, UW System President Kevin Reilly announced Friday at the UW System Board of Regents meeting. Reilly said the Lumina Foundation’s “Making Opportunity Affordable” grant program was an “extraordinary opportunity to expand educational access while keeping a sharp eye on quality.” According to Reilly, Wisconsin advances to an “intensive planning academy” to develop ideas to address the challenges of lowering cost per degree in the state and improve postsecondary outcomes. “These objectives are a very natural ﬁt with our Growth Agenda,” he said, adding the state additionally received a $100,000 planning grant to support the development of the objectives. The state-wide application is

a partnership between the UW System, the Department of Public Instruction, and the state’s technical colleges and private colleges. “It gives us the opportunity to work with a number of other states that are focused on these problems that are raising those same questions and I think we can really learn from each other in this process,” Reilly said. The application process included a visit to Wisconsin from some representatives of the foundation who met with people from the UW System, the ofﬁces of Gov. Jim Doyle, state Rep. Steve Nass, R-Whitewater, and state Sen. Kathleen Vinehout, D-Alma, Reilly said. If chosen, Wisconsin would be one of ﬁve states to receive up to $500,000 annually for up to four years. —Amanda Hoffstrom

Freedom from violence

LORENZO ZEMELLA/THE DAILY CARDINAL

Madison community members and women’s rights activists rally in Library Mall Saturday night for the 2008 Take Back the Night protest against gender-based violence.

Cigarette tax, smoking ban update

Police note similarities exist in recent Madison homicides

Funds increase, but do not reach goals The tax increased the price from $0.77 per pack to $1.77 per pack in January. March 2008 revenues from the tax were 78 percent higher than March 2007, but below expected amounts. The tax is a $449 million part of the state budget. Supporters tout health aspect Advocates of the cigarette tax said it lead to 20,000 residents calling a state quit line in one month, more than called in an entire year in the past

The Madison Police Department placed posters around the Bassett Neighborhood Saturday urging residents to call Crime Stoppers to report information related to the homicide of UW-Madison student Brittany Zimmermann. A cash reward of up to $1,000 is available for information leading to the arrest of Zimmermann’s

killer. According a police report, investigators have received more than 200 tips in the Zimmermann case so far. Additionally, approximately 25 new tips have come in regarding the unsolved homicide investigation of Joel Marino, who was stabbed to death Jan. 28. Police said similarities exist between the two cases, most notably both Marino and

Zimmermann were attacked in their homes during the daytime. While the homicides occurred approximately a mile apart, police also said there are differences in the cases. For example, police found signs of forced entry at Zimmermann’s residence but none in the Marino case. Police said both investigations remain “very active.”

State ban still unlikely Lawmakers have not announced any recent compromises.

championship audience is more exciting than the audiences in Los Angeles, the traditional taping location. “In Los Angeles we do our show in front of two or three hundred people,” Trebek said. “Here we are in front of two or three thousand people with a rooting interest in the outcome of some of the games because … they want their representative to do well.” He said witnessing the enthusiasm that stems from intercol-

legiate rivalries makes hosting the show even more thrilling. With contestants from UW-Madison and the University of Minnesota, the University of Michigan and Michigan State University, Harvard University and Yale University, school rivalries were apparent. Media were asked not to report the outcome to uphold the integrity of the show. In order to ﬁnd out who won the grand prize, tune into NBC15 May 5 through May 16 at 4:30 p.m.

cigarette from page 1 tax also helps to stop young people from starting to smoke. Carla Vigue, spokesperson for Gov. Jim Doyle, said the most important part of the tax was to help people to stop smoking, even if revenues are less. Doyle made the cigarette tax a major part of his budget proposal earlier in the year and supports a statewide smoking ban. The Wisconsin Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Store Association has previously stated the tax leads people to buy cigarettes online or on tribal areas. Opponents of the tax in the state Legislature also stated during the budget process that it disproportionably affects poor residents.

measles from page 1 children receive one dose of the vaccine between 12 and 15 months and a second dose between the ages of four and six. “The concept of a vaccine is to trick the immune system to think it’s seen a disease before,” Conway said, adding if a person gets measles and survives, the body builds immunity against the disease. According to Conway, MMR gives the body a high enough dose of the disease it is able to fight off measles, mumps or rubella upon exposure to them in the environment. Although doctors strongly recommend children receive

Poll shows support for smoking ban A Friday poll from St. Norbert College said 52 percent of residents want a statewide smoking ban, including taverns and bars. Almost 70 percent would support a ban if taverns were exempted or given a phase-in period to comply. Vigue said Doyle would call a special session of the Legislature to pass a ban if lawmakers reach a deal, but there have been no recent breakthroughs in negotiations. Busalacchi said legislative leaders have not been open to passing a ban, but the recent passage of bans in cities around the state show communities support it. the MMR vaccine, parents in Wisconsin can sign a waiver stating they refuse to allow their child to be vaccinated based upon religious beliefs, medical conditions or personal convictions. According to University Health Services epidemiologist, Craig Roberts, the number of parents who do not vaccinate their children has grown in recent years, increasing the risk of an outbreak. “People forget about measles because they think we’ve wiped it out,” Roberts said. “If I was one of those people who didn’t receive a vaccine as a child … I’d march over to UHS to get the vaccine.” UHS offers the MMR vaccine for $42.

ﬁle sharing from page 1 Four different tests exist to determine whether fair use is applicable, Pavlosky said. These include the purpose of the use and its character, what type and the amount of copyrighted work used and what affect would be had upon the potential market. “Copyright is good insofar as it encourages creativity, but it’s bad insofar as it inhibits creativity,” he said. “There’s a balance that has to be struck.” According to Ron Kramer, UW-Madison’s chief information officer and vice provost for information technology, UWMadison is considering extending their iTunes University site to the public as other universities have done. However, Kramer said he is concerned with fair use and whether the university may infringe on copyrights if material is not used for educational purposes.

JACOB ELA/THE DAILY CARDINAL

Nelson Pavlosky, co-founder of the national Students for Free Culture, gave the keynote speech at a UW-Madison Libraries forum. Eric Paulson, a UW-Madison graduate student, and Kramer lead a smaller discussion session to address the issues that peerto-peer file sharing and copyright laws create on campus.

Paulson said some students don’t realize the consequences of file sharing. “We need to make sure students understand the risk that they’re taking,” he said.

program will aid all athletes

T

he Athletic Department announced Wednesday a new program to help freshmen athletes adjust to life at UW-Madison. The Life Skills Academy is UW-Madison’s extension of the NCAA’s Challenging Athletes’ Minds for Professional Success program, which has been in practice since 1994. In contrast to the Life Skills Academy, the CHAMPS program is aimed at all student athletes.

Having a session devoted to dining etiquette, though, seems excessive.

On the surface it may seem unfair to the rest of incoming freshmen who only have the twoday Student Orientation and Registration session to adjust to college life. However, student athletes have other concerns—like the press—that most other students will never face. Also, this program comes at the expense of the Athletic Department and not the university. This new program will address issues ranging from academics to time management, which are key elements to being a success-

ful student athlete. Having a session devoted to dining etiquette, though, seems excessive. One would hope student athletes know how to use a fork and knife prior to going to college. It also seems the Life Skills Academy will benefit not only freshmen, but also the older athletes who will serve as the program’s mentors. The sophomores, juniors and seniors chosen will have the added benefit of something else to list on a resumé, but the leadership experience from the program is not something you can learn on the field, ice or court. With the benefits older athletes can also gain from the experience, the Athletic Department should also consider sessions for senior or fifth-year athletes who will leave UW-Madison and face the real world like the rest of the student body. It is important, however, the Athletic Department keeps track of the program to ensure it is a successful departure from the CHAMPS program. We hope as a result of this more focused program, episodes of athletes’ bad behavior will decrease. If student athletes are still getting into trouble with the law, this mentoring may need to begin in high school. Most importantly, athletes should still be held accountable for their actions and understand the consequences of their behavior.

Concealed carry not right solution for safety RYAN DASHEK opinion columnist

A

fter the shooting at Virginia Tech almost a year ago, UW-Madison students banded together to form the UWMadison chapter of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus. With increased campus safety as its main goal, the group’s cause is certainly admirable. However, increasing the presence of guns on campus is not likely going to solve any of our safety problems. In fact,

allowing people to carry concealed weapons could lead to more issues of safety on campus. Increasing the number of guns on a college campus where alcohol is ever present is bound to end tragically for students. As we all know, guns and alcohol certainly do not mix, and encouraging students to arm themselves on a campus that is not exactly known for its sobriety is asking for trouble. While we can no doubt count on students to act responsibly while they are sober, it’s when they are not sober that an accident is very likely to occur. Background checks are usually the only way to verify if a person has a history of violence, and hence, whether they should be allowed to carry a firearm. However, even the most extensive background check is a mere snapshot of a person—there is no way to understand how a person will change in the future. College is a very turbulent time, and the majority of college students will undergo some fundamental changes. This of course includes psychological changes, and some students can become mentally ‘unhinged’ from the sheer stress of college. If these types of people were to already own a gun (since they could have easily passed through a background check when they were considered legally sane), who exactly is stopping them from suddenly deciding to use it on themselves or others? Therefore, even if concealed carry is legalized in Wisconsin, it still remains the wrong choice for college students. Allowing responsible students, who first have to pass an extensive background check and complete a training program, to arm themselves for protection might sound like a good idea on college campuses. However it could prove to be tragic, as it provides more opportunities for potential criminals to obtain a gun. Let’s consider a hypothetical situation: A responsible student obtains a legal firearm and permit after he or she passes an extensive background check and training program. Who’s to say that responsible student’s roommate won’t steal his gun and use it for his or her own purposes? Or that

a friend of the responsible student who stumbles across the weapon won’t decide to take it? Regardless of the outcome, the bottom line is: Increasing the number of guns in circulation increases the chance for a criminal, or potential criminal, to come across one. Although many gun advocates point to several studies that have been done in addressing the topic of concealed carry and its effects on deterring violent crimes, there is also research that suggests that there is actually no evidence of this. A book titled “Firearms and Violence: A Critical Review by the Committee to Improve Research Information and Data on Firearms” suggests many of the past studies in the area of gun control do not actually provide true depictions of the effects of concealed carry on crime rates. It is also very easy to imagine that gun advocates and lobbyists, such as the National Riﬂe Association, could have funded some of the research out there which suggests that an increased gun presence lowers crime. While the SCCC should certainly be commended for attempting to make the campus a safer place, its solution needs to be taken into serious consideration. Unfortunately, there really is no one quick solution to the problem of campus safety. Allowing everyone to carry a gun will not resolve anything and has the potential to exacerbate safety issues here on campus. If our biggest concern is guns and violence, then adding more guns will not solve the problem. Maybe some people would feel safer if they were allowed to carry weapons here on campus, but I’m sure many would agree that sitting in a lecture hall next to someone who happens to be carrying a ﬁrearm would be a bit unsettling. Perhaps our time and efforts would be better spent looking for different solutions, such as volunteering at or contributing in some way to SAFEwalk, rather than just adding more guns to the problem that is guns and violence.

Overture hosts glass artisans By Alison Elier THE DAILY CARDINAL

The works of seven talented Madison women return for a stunning and dynamic display in the Overture Center gallery. The exhibit, “The Women of Madison Glass,” is a collection of unique glass pieces that teems with vibrant color. The show features seven talented female artists who are currently living and working in Madison and have exhibited in Wisconsin and across the nation. The display is unique in that it presents the underrated and littleknown technique of glass working via 90 years of experience. The bright colors immediately seize the viewer’s attention and draw them further down the hallway, enticing them to view the rest of the exhibit. The three pieces “Flow I,” “Flow II” and “Flow III” by Shayna Leib are successful at appealing to the viewer with their distinctive sense of movement caught in a moment. Thick black squares frame each of the three pieces, containing tiny glass tubes tinted with different shades of orange that protrude from the frame at different lengths and directions. The result of the changing shape, direction and tint of each tube is a sense of movement or the look of waves moving through the glass. A similar piece, “Faces Over Time” by Lisa Koch, is three long, rectangular gray frames. Inside each frame, the original pane of glass has been replaced by numerous skinny sections of blue-green tinted glass. Behind the sections of glass is an obscured view of muted colors that gives the sense of pulsations or wave-like movement, as if the image behind the glass were under water.

The bright colors immediately seize the viewer’s attention and draw them further down the hallway.

Toward the end of the hallway is a simple yet striking piece titled “Japanese Maples” by Reneé Miller-Knight. The piece is a simple large sheet of red and orange glass that has the imprint of Japanese maple leaves and stems within. Overall, the show is an excellent display of talented craftsmanship, technique and artistic creativity that offers unique yet exquisite pieces, providing a desperately needed splash of color to the otherwise stark and minimalist Overture Center galleries.

The album’s title track is an introspective masterpiece that demonstrates the band’s true songwriting prowess. The song starts off with frontman Honus Honus singing, “Don’t you dare say that you weren’t warned that the end was coming soon.” He then proceeds to expound on the problem that “He don’t even taste the food he eats anymore.” But instead of the depressing lyrics putting a damper on the album, the song pairs more piano with clarinet and provides hope that two people with traumatic pasts can come together, conﬁde in and, ultimately, save each other. Off the success of 2006’s Six Demon Bag, Man Man got the opportunity to tour with Modest Mouse, allowing a larger audience to witness the spectacle that is a Man Man live show.

Washington leads women’s track at Sea Ray Relays By Scott Allen THE DAILY CARDINAL

The Wisconsin women’s track team earned seven NCAA Midwest Regional qualifying marks and won two relay events at the Sea Ray Relays in Knoxville, Tenn., while the men’s team won two events and qualified five over the weekend. Senior Venus Washington ran the second all-time fastest 100-meter dash for UW in her third-place, 11.62second regional qualifying effort. She cut nearly four tenths of a second off her personal best. Wa s h i n g t o n WASHINGTON also qualified in the long jump after jumping 20-3 1⁄2 for fourth place. Junior Amy Lewis threw 144 feet, 3 inches to earn fourth in the javelin and qualify for regionals. Senior Kayla Schultz also qualified in the discus after placing fifth and throwing 156 feet. Junior Gwen Jorgensen and senior Ann Detmer each qualified in the 1,500 meters by placing fourth and sixth in 4:27.31 and 4:27.72, respectively. Junior Chavon Robinson took eighth in the triple jump with 40-11 3⁄4, meeting the regional standard. The 4x1,500-meter relay of Detmer, Alicia Pabich, Leah Coyle and Maggie Hippman took first

tennis from page 8 well as sophomore Michael Dierberger and freshman Marek Michalicka notched victories for the Badgers. Michalicka pushed his record to 19-2 in dual matches with his pair of weekend wins. Austin said she is pleased with where the team stands, but knows there is more to be done. “I think we’re close,” Austin said. “We’re going to have to do a couple things a little better if we want to be able to beat an Ohio State and get through to the ﬁnals of the conference tournament ... We’ve had a lot of close matches with teams that are basically top-10, top-15 teams, so I think our best tennis is going to be ahead of us, that’s for sure.” Next up for the Badgers is No. 73 Michigan State Sunday in East Lansing, Mich. The match concludes regular season play for UW. Women’s recap The UW women’s tennis team picked up its ﬁrst conference victory of the season, a 6-1 upset win

analysis from page 8 as the sole source of inspiration in game two. After being pulled shortly after the ﬁrst inning in game one, she pitched with a vengeance in game two, striking out eight batters. However, the lack of run support from the offense put Vanevenhoven in a tough spot late in the game when she gave up two runs. Daniels went 2-for-4 in game one but failed to produce a hit in three

in 19:30.80 to beat runner-up Chattanooga by 19 seconds. UW’s 4x800 relay of Detmer, Jorgensen, Carly Ducharme and Sarah Hurley also won the meet in 8:59.40, one second ahead of Indiana. In addition to three qualifying efforts, the field athletes also earned three top-eight finishes. Junior Amanda Hoeppner threw 173-7 in the hammer throw for fourth place, and junior Megan Seidel earned fifth in the high jump by clearing 5-7. Junior Jenny Soceka also placed eighth in the pole vault, clearing 1211 1⁄2. In the 3,000 meters, junior Kait Hurley and sophomore Ashley Benson ran 10:29 and 10:33 for sixth and seventh place, respectively. The women have qualified nine athletes to regionals so far this season.

Matt Tegenkamp and Chris Solinsky—two UW alumni currently running for Nike and gearing up for the U.S. Championships and the Olympics this summer—helped push the young Badgers and placed second and fourth in 3:40.12 and 3:40.68, respectively. UW alumni also showed up at the Sea Ray Relays Saturday. Alonzo Moore jumped 53-3 1⁄2 to win the triple jump and Demi Omole, who runs professionally for Reebok, took ﬁfth in the 100-meter dash in 10.14 seconds. At the Sea Ray Relays, senior Derek

Thiel tied for the individual pole vault title at 16-6 3⁄4, the regional qualifying standard. Junior sprinter James Groce earned a regional qualiﬁer in the 400-meter dash by running 46.87 seconds, while sophomore Rayme Mackinson jumped 24-1 3⁄4 in the long jump for ninth place, also picking up a qualifying mark. Wisconsin won the 4x110-meter shuttle hurdle relay with a team of Peter Dykstra, Adam Pischke, Brennan Boettcher and Nate Larkin. They ran a combined 58.44 seconds to beat Charlotte by a half-second.

Freshman Pat Nichols earned third place in the high jump by clearing 6-8 3⁄4, and sophomore Rory Linder threw 167-6 in the discus for third place. Both nearly qualiﬁed for regionals. Freshman David Grzesiak scored 6,729 points to place sixth in the decathlon, while junior Brennan Boettcher scored 6,540 points for seventh. The 3,200 relay team of Steve Ludwig, Luke Rucks, Zach Beth and Eric Hatchell went 7:35.13 for third. The weekend brought the total regional qualifying marks to 11 for the men’s team.

Men’s Recap Three men’s distance runners went up against professional athletes, including UW alumni, in the invitational heat of the 1,500 meters Friday at the Sun Angel Track Classic hosted by Arizona State. Freshman Evan Jager and sophomores Craig Miller and Jack Bolas took eighth through 10th place, each running 3 minutes 42 seconds, separated by less than half a second. Jager and Bolas hit their first outdoor qualifying efforts this season, while Miller bested his Stanford qualifying performance by about a second. over No. 47 Iowa Sunday in Iowa City, Iowa. The Badgers (1-8 Big Ten, 813 overall) clinched the match when senior Morgan Tuttle closed out Iowa’s Kayla Berry 7-6 (9-7), 6-2 at No. 6 singles. UW started the match by taking two of three doubles matches to grab the opening doubles point. After splitting the first two completed singles matches, the Badgers won the last four for the final margin. The Hawkeyes dropped to 2-6 in the Big Ten and 11-8 overall. On Saturday, the Badgers were swept 7-0 by No. 73 Minnesota. The Gophers (2-5, 12-8) allowed the Badgers just one match, an 8-4 victory by senior Chelsea Nusslock and sophomore Katya Mirnova at No. 3 doubles. The Badgers will host No. 59 Michigan State this Sunday for their final match of the regular season. It will mark the final home match for Nusslock and Tuttle, the Badgers’ two seniors. —uwbadgers.com contributed to this report. chances in game two. Raphael also failed to produce runs in game two after going 2-for-4 in the first game. Schulte attributed the dramatic change in batting to the pitching change made by Penn State in game two. Schulte said the off-speed pitching of Penn State freshman Jackie Hill “dumbfounds us.” “You’ve got to make adjustments, and we didn’t do that very well ... We also didn’t take advantage of some opportunities,” Schulte said.

For second consecutive weekend, Badgers win one of their four games

RECAP By Scott Kellogg THE DAILY CARDINAL

Wisconsin collected a seasonhigh 11 hits in an 8-3 victory over Penn State, but cold bats and costly defensive miscues cost the Badgers in the nightcap as Wisconsin lost 2-0 Sunday at the Goodman Diamond. The only run-producing hit came in the top half of the sixth inning off the bat of Penn State freshman third baseman Desi Giordano, which scored two runs

and secured the victory for the Nittany Lions. The Badgers entered the sixth inning in a scoreless tie with the Nittany Lions and in the midst of a pitchers’ duel between Wisconsin starter Leah Vanevenhoven and Penn State starter Jackie Hill. With one out in the inning, junior outfielder Danielle Kinley drew a walk, and junior outfielder Sam Hovanec hit a ground ball back to the pitcher. The ball was thrown to second for a fielder’s choice, but it was a ball UW head coach Chandelle Schulte felt could have been turned

into a double play. “Had we been more aggressive on that double-play ball, we would have turned it,” Schulte said. The play left the door open for Penn State. The next batter was junior shortstop Kayce Zielinski, who hit what seemed to be a routine ground ball to second base. The grounder was fielded cleanly by freshman second baseman Livi Abney, who was halfway off the field before the first base umpire called the play safe. The decision at first base was a close one and probably could have

Junior right ﬁelder Valyncia Raphael gave the Badgers an offensive boost in the ﬁrst game against Penn State.

gone either way, but Schulte knew once again that had her players been more aggressive, they could have ended the inning sooner. “Our second baseman sat back on that ball,” Schulte said. “You don’t sit back on that ball, you attack that ball.” The miscue by Abney put base runners on first and second with two out for Giordano. UW freshman Jen Krueger had to move back on a flyball from Giordano, and the ball glanced off her glove, allowing two runs to score. Krueger was not charged with an error on the triple by Giordano, but it was a play that could have been made. “[The game] should have been 0-0 going into the seventh inning,” Schulte said. It was a tough loss for Vanevenhoven (4-18) to take. The junior did not allow an earned run and surrendered four hits with two walks over seven innings. And for the second time in Vanevenhoven’s last three starts, the lefty was not provided a single run by hear teammates. “[Not getting any run support] doesn’t help,” Vanevenhoven said. “But that just makes me stronger as a pitcher.” The Badgers managed three base runners the entire game and just one after the first inning. “In the second game we got a lot more junk [than we did in the first game] and we weren’t disciplined and we failed to adjust,” said junior right fielder Valyncia Raphael, who was 02 with a walk in the second game. Penn State’s Hill allowed two hits and one walk in the shutout and improved to 13-6 on the season. “We know we’re playing a lot

better,” Raphael said. We’re disappointed in the split. We wanted to take two. But as a team we’re moving in the right direction right now.” Schulte also expressed discontent in losing the nightcap, noting this was the third Big Ten contest she felt her team had a strong chance to win but was unable to pull out. The first game presented a different theme for both teams. Neither was able to get any continuity from its starting pitcher, as the Badgers and Nittany Lions combined for 18 hits and 11 runs. Wisconsin scored six of its eight runs in the sixth inning, and all with two outs. Wisconsin was trailing 3-0 when Raphael scorched a 3-0 pitch over Kinley’s head to narrow the margin to one. “We gave [Raphael] the green light,” Schulte said. “I was like, ‘Hey, hit it. Make something happen.’” A stolen base followed by a throwing error allowed Raphael to score and tie the game. Wisconsin did not stop there though, scoring three more runs in the inning. Vanevenhoven also started the first game for Wisconsin, but struggled badly with control and was relieved after one-plus innings. Vanevenhoven was pulled last weekend because of an injury, but Schulte clarified that this instance was completely performance related. “You can’t go down two runs without them hitting,” Schulte said. Olivarez entered the game in relief and kept Wisconsin in the game by pitching six innings and allowing one unearned run. Wisconsin lost to Michigan 7-2 and 12-4 on Friday night.

Adjustments at the plate lead to success in ﬁrst game against Nittany Lions ANALYSIS By Adam Loferski THE DAILY CARDINAL

In the middle of the third inning of Sunday’s game against Penn State, the Badger softball team found itself on the wrong end of a 3-0 score. Penn State jumped to an early lead, scoring one run in the ﬁrst inning and two in the second. The start of the game was quite ugly, to say the least, for Wisconsin. The Badgers went three-up threedown in the bottom of the ﬁrst inning,

underwent an early pitching change from junior Leah Vanevenhoven to sophomore Letty Olivarez and failed to drive in a runner from third base in the bottom of the second. Despite the rough start, the Badger bats came to life in the bottom of the third. With two outs and freshman Jennifer Krueger at second, senior Joey Daniels connected on a base hit that allowed Krueger to utilize her speed and score from second. Junior Theresa Boruta bunted her way to ﬁrst base, advancing Daniels to

second. Junior Valyncia Raphael then stepped to the plate and crushed a flyball to deep center field. “We were just looking to adjust and hit anything that was close,” Raphael said. Both Daniels and Boruta scored on the hit. Senior Alexis Garcia took the plate next, but Raphael was not content with just a double. Before Garcia could advance her further, she stole third base and scored after a Penn State error at third base. Garcia singled to center field and

then advanced to second after Olivarez walked. Senior Lynn Anderson batted both Garcia and Olivarez in with a double to center. At the end of one spectacular inning of hitting, the Badgers had six runs off of six hits. With their early adjustments and explosive third inning, the Badgers were able to hold off Penn State for the 8-3 victory. Bats disappear in Game 2 Despite the success of Wisconsin batters in the ﬁrst game of Sunday’s

doubleheader against Penn State, the offensive ﬁrepower did not carry over into the second game. A Nittany Lion pitching change in game two left the Badgers scratching their heads. It seemed a ball leaving a Badger bat had only one place to go after contact—a Penn State glove— something UW head coach Chandelle Schulte likes to call the “at-em’s disease.” Junior Leah Vanevenhoven served analysis page 7

Seniors exit with victories at Nielsen By Chris Lindeke THE DAILY CARDINAL

The No. 32 UW men’s tennis team closed its home season with a pair of victories, a 6-1 victory over No. 53 Iowa Saturday and a 7-0 sweep of rival Minnesota Sunday. Sunday, Badger seniors Felipe Bellido, Nolan Polley and Jeremy Sonkin were honored in their ﬁnal home match between doubles and singles matches, each receiving a framed picture collage from their years of play at UW. Each senior concluded his ﬁnal chapter at Nielsen Tennis Stadium with a win. “They’ve been sort of the heart and soul of it the last couple years,” assistant coach Evan Austin said. “It’s been a program that when [coach] Greg [Van Emburgh] came he had to turn around, and these guys have been instrumental in it. They’ve won a lot of

big matches.” Bellido, a Lima, Peru, native, took down the Gophers’ Chi-Lang Pham 6-4, 6-1 at No. 5 singles. His win clinched the match for the Badgers (72 Big Ten, 15-8 overall). “In the last two or three weeks [Bellido is] playing with a lot more conﬁdence than he’s played with the whole year,” Austin said. “I think he’s back to where he was last year when he led the team in wins.” Polley rebounded from a tough ﬁrst set to defeat Minnesota’s Tobias Wernet 5-7, 6-2, 6-2 at No. 2 singles. The Lexington, Ky., native improved to 8-1 in Big Ten dual matches and 16-4 overall. “It’s been a good couple years and it’s almost over,” Polley said. “I’ve done really well this year, and I’m glad I can go out at home on a good note.”

Sonkin pulled out a 1-6, 7-5, 62 triumph over Dino Bilankov of Minnesota (3-5, 5-15). The UW senior said he lost to Bilankov in the fall and admitted he was a little uneasy when he saw the Gopher’s name in the lineup. “He came out in the ﬁrst set, didn’t miss a ball and was playing some good tennis, and I mentally just lost it,” Sonkin said. “Then I started to play my game, stepping into the court and hitting the ball instead of being on the defensive the entire time. He started to give me some errors, and I just kind of rolled from there.” On Saturday, the Badgers won the opening doubles point and did not look back against the Hawkeyes (25, 10-8). The three UW seniors as tennis page 7
