Man dies after brawl outside downtown bar By Abby Sears THE DAILY CARDINAL
A Madison man is dead and another man in custody after a violent bar fight outside a downtown establishment late Wednesday. Around 11:38 p.m. police responded to reports of a stabbing outside the Plaza Tavern at 319 N. Henry St., according to a Madison Police report. The victim who was identified by Dane County Coroner John Stanley as 22-year-old Juan J. Bernal, suffered two stab wounds to the chest. He was transported to a local hospital and was initially listed in critical condition until he died Thursday morning. Police said Bernal was not a UWMadison student. Witnesses said the stabbing resulted from a brawl that erupted between two groups of men inside the bar and later moved
outside, according to police. Ald. Mike Verveer, whose District 4 includes the Plaza, said Plaza employees reported that the fight allegedly began over a disruption in music playing on the bar’s jukebox. MPD Public Information Officer Joel DeSpain said it did not appear the suspects knew each other. Patrons at the Plaza chased the suspect and another man down the street and detained the man who had been with the suspect until police arrived. Police said the investigation then led to a downtown residence where they arrested Justin R. Stout, 31, of Madison and tentatively charged him with firstdegree reckless endangering safety. After Bernal died from injuries sustained in the stabbing, however, police changed Stout’s tentative
charge to first-degree homicide. DeSpain said police are continuing to investigate what sparked the violence between Bernal and Stout, but maintained the public was not in any danger in connection with the stabbing. “This was a dispute between two groups of people that did not involve anyone else,” DeSpain said. “It was isolated and it was a targeted attack.” Areas surrounding the Plaza, including Peace Park and a nearby parking lot, remained taped off Thursday as police retraced the route Stout took to his residence, listed in court records as a West Gilman Street apartment. DeSpain said investigators were looking to see if Stout discarded anything as he ran home following the stabbing. Bernal’s death is Madison’s sixth homicide of 2008.
Students to recycle at Camp Randall this fall By Erin Banco THE DAILY CARDINAL
The UW-Madison Athletic Department, Student Athlete Advisory Committee, and Rethink Wisconsin are working to boost recycling during Badger football games this fall. According to Vince Sweeney, senior associate athletic director for external relations, Rethink Wisconsin formed as a student organization last fall in response to students’ completion of an environmental studies class with professor Jack Kloppenburg. The organization collaborated with women from the UWMadison rowing team to begin the recycling campaign. Maria Davis, fifth year student and leader of the campaign,
said the recycling effort started in the boathouse last fall. “We tried to start a recycling initiative in the boat house, but then we wanted to go bigger and see what we could do,” she said. “Professor Kloppenburg got word of what we were doing and got us together with the other students from his class.” The students from the environmental studies class and women from the rowing team contacted the athletic department to broaden the recycling initiative during this season’s home football games. “We are trying to educate people about the green movement going on in our society … the athletic department is taking their part in trying to do this as
well,” Davis said. “By recycling at the games we are setting a standard for other students.” The recycling program began its efforts in Camp Randall this fall with the introduction of more than 100 bins for disposing of plastic bottles. “We don’t expect to change the world, but we think it’s a nice gesture to try and educate our public,” Sweeney said. “We all need to pitch in and think a little different than what we have thought in the past.” The long-term goal of the campaign is to reach all athletic complexes on campus and continue to educate students on the importance of recycling. For more information students can visit www.rethinkwi.org.
The nomination speech Republican Presidential candidate John McCain gave Thursday at the Republican National Convention highlighted his service to his country and his eagerness to continue serving. McCain said as a prisoner in Vietnam, he was “blessed by misfortune,” and the experience changed him from a man who put himself first to a man who put his country first. He said he has been a servant for his country “first, last and always.” “Nothing brings greater happiness in life than to serve a cause greater than yourself,” McCain said. He said his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, has executive experience and a record of accomplishments, and that he is proud to introduce her to the country. “She stands up for what’s right, and she doesn’t let anyone tell her to sit down,” McCain said. McCain said he has a record of
fighting corruption and suppressing wasteful spending, and that he helped keep the country safe by fighting for more troops in Iraq even when it was not a popular move. According to McCain, many politicians today go to Washington, D.C., to work for themselves and not for the people, but he said he will fight for what is best for the people. He said his experiences in life have given him the ability lead the country better than his opponent, Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama. “I have the record and the scars to prove it. Senator Obama does not,” McCain said. UW-Madison senior Katie Nix, state chair of Students for McCain, said she thinks McCain’s chances of winning Wisconsin, a battleground state, will improve after his speech. She said Obama’s ideas for bigger government would hurt the younger mccain page 3

Zimmermann’s family creates reward fund By Jack Zeller THE DAILY CARDINAL
The family of slain UW-Madison student Brittany Zimmermann and the Madison Police Department urged residents Thursday to remember “the day Brittany died” and come forward with any information that may help ZIMMERMANN investigators bring her killer to justice. The Zimmermann family also announced the establishment of The Brittany Zimmermann Reward Fund, a donation-driven collection offered in exchange for information leading to
the arrest and conviction of her killer. The fund, currently offering a reward of $5,000, will accept donations through the Marshfield Medical Center Credit Union and raise the reward as the investigation continues. “Brittany had a huge commitment to her family, to her community, whether that be Madison or back home in Marshfield,” said Kim Heeg, Zimmermann’s aunt. “And so we are here again to ask some support of this community.” Zimmermann was found dead in her apartment on the 500 block of West Doty Street in April. No suspects have been named in her death, though the police investigation continues. zimmermann page 3

DAVID HOTTINGER it’s getting hottinger
W
ell, the first week of school is just about wrapped up, so by now we should all have a “pretty decent” (as you Wisconsinites say) idea of what we’re in for and which discussion sections have enough hotties in them to make attendance worth the while. Since, in the end, all the learning that will transpire between now and Christmas will be boiled down to a single letter, at this point in the newborn semester basically all of us fit into one of two categories. Although right now we all sit together at the apex of the grading curve, the difference is in which direction we face. Either you’re the type of person who fancies herself on top of a zero right now and are going
to have to claw tooth and nail for every freakin’ point, or you’re the type who considers himself sitting on a cool one-hundo and each paper, test and problem set is a greedy baby’s momma out to chip away at that fat stack. Well, I got news for both of you: It’s all downhill from here. Just like your step-mom always told you, you’re going to fail. And everybody is just waiting to see exactly how you go about doing that. Prepare as much as you please, your phone is going to run out of battery and you’ll sleep through that exam. Work as hard as you will, your group partner will get high and forget to do the PowerPoint. And no matter how many Kaplan courses you take or office hours you attend, it’s not going to change the fact that your brain is just too dumb and fat to work right. Chances are that no matter what you do, you’re going to end up with a report card not even Chuck E. Cheese would reward, chock full of big Ds—for big
Drain on the family income. But there’s hope. Unlike success, which you just have to be born with, the key to failure is trying. If you don’t try, you can’t fail. I’m sure we all had a T-ball coach tell us at some critical stage in our development that we were failing to win because we weren’t trying. But he didn’t realize we were only there to whack a ball with a bat and get treats for it after. He might as well say that I failed the 100-meter freestyle because I didn’t try. Now, if Phelps wants to spend 10 hours a day for 10 years trying to win that, hats off to him; he better win like 20 golds. But me, I’m happy not wasting that many gulps of this blessed cup of life trying to succeed at any single task. And I do that by not trying to. This modern commerce-driven competition that college supposedly prepares us for expects us to excel at one thing, at the expense of adequacy in many things. The only sane way to stick it
back to the Man is to exemplify utter ineptitude at anything. Not because you do suck at life— which you very well might—but because you didn’t try to suck, or to succeed for that matter. Now I’m sure there’s an angry mob of go-getters out there reading this getting ready to burn me at the stake for trying to spoil all your getup-and-go so early in the semester. Therefore, it might be appropriate here to defend my position so I don’t come off sounding like a complete burnout looking to spread my smoldering ruin to the bright sparks of today’s youth. But I’m not going to try. And not because I might fail—which I may—but because I’m out of space. So screw all you haters, I’m right, you’re wrong; don’t try hard at school. Especially if you’re in any of my classes. Are you one of those “Be the Best That You Can Be and Try, Try Again” schmucks? Tell David, or someone who cares, at dhottinger@wisc.edu.

Research institute opens in Madison By Megan Orear THE DAILY CARDINAL
A ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the opening of the first tower of the Wisconsin Institutes for Medical Research at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health Thursday. The tower, which will house a cancer research center, is the first of three towers that will make up the research complex. Gov. Jim Doyle, UW Chancellor Carolyn “Biddy” Martin, UW System President Kevin Reilly and representatives of the UW Foundation spoke before the opening. Doyle said he expects the institute to house new discoveries that will have positive ramifications all over the world. “There will be discoveries made that are just going to have incredibly far-reaching consequences, positive consequences for people not only in the state of Wisconsin, not only in the United States but throughout the world,” Doyle said. He said citizens should be proud of Wisconsin’s expertise in

Doyle said there were times, especially during the state’s recent $3.5 million budget deficit, when it was not clear if the institute would be built, but said he is happy the state decided to go in a progressive direction and invest in medical research. According to Reilly, the institute will contribute to Wisconsin’s Growth Agenda by creating new jobs and attracting talented and highly educated people to the state. Martin said the new institute will have a big impact on scientific research around the world. “Wisconsin is helping rewrite the paradigm for all biomedical research across the country and the world, and that’s no small feat,” Martin said. Construction for the project, one of the largest UW-Madison has undertaken, began in 2005 and is scheduled for completion in 2015. stands for,” Nix said.

New Wiscard required for access in Grainger By Christian von Preysing-Barry THE DAILY CARDINAL
UW-Madison’s Office of the Registrar issued a new Wiscard to incoming freshmen and business school students this semester. In addition to acting as a debit card, the new “one card” gives students access to some classrooms and computer labs across campus. Freshmen received the first round of Wiscards this summer. According to Wiscard administrator Jim Wysocky, the university plans to increase key-card access throughout campus. Grainger Hall, the School of Pharmacy and campus residence halls already have security card technology in place. “If you’re in facilities today that
don’t have it, most likely down the road it will be an enhancement that will be added to the facility,” he said. Campus residence halls are expected to replace their current electronic key fobs used to gain entrance to the facilities with new Wiscard access in the future. �� “The dorms are doing a transition to the new Wiscard, so they’re still giving out their current key fobs, but they will migrate students over to the new Wiscard soon,” said Karen Hanson, UW-Madison associate registrar and the official in charge of developing the card. Current sophomores and upperclassmen are not expected to acquire the new Wiscard unless they need to access the buildings that have adopted
the new technology. UW-Madison junior and business major Sarah Schultz said the Grainger Hall administration advised its students to get the new Wiscard. Since the completion of Grainger Hall’s west wing this fall, the “one card” will be necessary to access certain areas, including the undergraduate computer lab. Students seeking to replace their old Wiscard will receive the new Wiscard at no extra fee. Since the transition to the new Wiscard, the cost for replacing a lost or stolen card has increased to $25 from $15.�� More information on the new Wiscard and its features is available at www.wiscard.wisc.edu.��
Memorial set for UW students killed in Midvale car crash The Offices of the Dean of Students and University religious workers will hold a campus memorial service Monday for three UWMadison students killed in a car crash last week. The service will commemorate the lives of UW-Madison chemistry lecture volunteers Lindsey Plank and Richard Putze, as well as elite
pianist Dan Myers, who died in a car crash Aug. 27 on Midvale Boulevard, days before the start of the fall semester. Dean of Students Lori Berquam is expected to speak, and family, friends and faculty are encouraged to share stories of the students’ lives during the memorial service. The Department of Chemistry
and the School of Music recently created scholarship funds in remembrance of each student. The chemistry department will also provide assistance to give funds directly to the victims’ families. The service will be in the Red Gym at 8 p.m. For more information, contact Jon Dahl at (608) 251-0001.

Police say they remain “determined and dedicated” to finding Zimmermann’s killer, but maintain community assistance is essential. “We firmly believe there are people in this community who have information that could crack this case,” Wray said. “We really do need your help.”

Summer boozing causes buzz of knowledge
Apartment food study guide Follow these tips to stock your new kitchen with cheap, nutritious food
By Marly Schuman THE DAILY CARDINAL
So you’ve just moved into your first apartment or house, and your cabinets are as empty as Memorial Library on a Saturday night. You can’t wait to go to the grocery store to get all your favorite foods, but when you sit down to eat your first meal, you realize something is missing—or, to be exact, a lot of things are missing. The chicken is sticking to the pan, you can’t get it out, and the fresh veggies you got from the farmers’ market are nearly tasteless. Before this disaster of a kitchen ruins your delectable dinner at home, consider the essential foods you will need to make your first kitchen complete. Are you an average college student and a preoccupied workaholic? A health conscious consumer or a take-out lover? Check out the lists below for what you will need to make your dream meal come true. The Collegiate Cabinets Before you run to the nearest store to stock up on soda and chips, consider these kitchen musthaves to add to your grocery list. Frozen protein and veggiesStock up on chicken, beef, fish or the protein of your choosing. Although fresh food is often ideal, buying frozen meat and vegetables allows you to keep them longer instead of running to the store every other day. You can even cook extras when you have time on the weekends and freeze them so they’re ready to defrost during the week in-between classes. Pam or olive oil- No matter what you cook, you’re going to need one of these to provide a non-stick surface. Plus, extra virgin olive oil can help even the most inexperienced cook add a rich flavor to any meal. Red Solo cups- You definitely won’t forget the beverage that goes inside, but if you don’t spring for some extra Solo cups, your first party could be a beer pong-less disaster. Pancake mix- Who ever said you can’t have breakfast for dinner? Buy a mix you only need to add water to and you have an ultra-fast meal. If you want to add some nutritional value, throw in your favorite fruit. Sliced apples with cinnamon and brown sugar are always a good option. The Nutritious Nibbler You might think you have your healthy eating down, but once you are tempted by all Madison has to offer, you might forget your food morals. Fresh Veggies and DipInstead of reaching for the chips and creamy dip, opt for cut vegetables and a salsa or low-fat ranch. You can use both of these choices for dips and salads or marinating meat and fish. Hummus is
another excellent nutritious dip selection that can add protein to a vegetarian diet. Your favorite late-night alternative- Whether you crave greasy Pizza Di Roma or D.P Dough’s warm, chocolaty cookies, try to find a way to replace these fattening foods with more healthy ingredients in your own kitchen. Pita bread or crackers,
The Busy Eater If you’re in a hurry, it can be easier to grab something on the go or on the way to class. But consider these tasty tidbits to save your money and health. Coffee beans- If you’re a student on the go, you might be stuck in the habit of running into your nearest Steep ‘N Brew or Fair Trade Coffee, but these daily cups
sandwich you love to splurge on at Sunroom Café, don’t forget about that childhood classic. Peanut butter and jelly are a timeless pairing, but if you want to change it up, slice some bananas over the top or spread on Nutella, marshmallow fluff or honey instead. If you find yourself with leftover peanut butter, stir it into a homemade pad thai sauce with that leftover pasta.
EMILY BISEK ‘em,‘em good
S
ome say kids lose knowledge in the summer, but I’ve learned two important things these past three months. Both facts were gained unintentionally on annual summer excursions, and both relate to drinking. I gained the first bit of knowledge on an annual camping trip with my high school girlfriends. Every year we purchase ridiculous drinking glasses for the camping festivities. This summer I met the crew at the camping site, leaving the cup-choosing in their unreasonable hands. I ended up with a brandy snifter bigger than a cantaloupe, which may have made sense if we had brandy. But no, I only used it to hold cheap beer. This gift taught me that snifters are shaped narrowly on the top with a large bottom to trap the smell of the liquor in the cup. The large bottom also captures the warmth of the hand holding the glass and keeps the drink warm. Now this makes perfect sense when drinking nice, expensive Brandy from an oversized glass. It is not a good decision to drink cheap beer from such a device. As you can guess, the beer warmed extremely fast and looked super disgusting sloshing back and forth like a shallow puddle.
I ended up with a brandy snifter bigger than a canteloupe, which may have made sense if we had brandy.
CHARLIE BAKER/THE DAILY CARDINAL
Instead of grabbing the Ramen noodles and Easy Mac at the grocery store, consider these tips first for fast and nutritious options you can make yourself. tomato sauce and low-fat shredded mozzarella make a pizza that could satisfy almost any craving. Even if you don’t like to stock your cabinets with cookies, buying lowfat options and microwaving them when necessary can help curb a high-calorie craving. Frozen fruit- While frozen vegetables are fairly common, many hit up local fruit stands for organic fare. But seasonal fruit goes bad fast, and you might end up wasting most of it. Frozen fruit is perfect for smoothies and makes a sweet topping for yogurt or low-fat ice cream. Put your frozen favorites on the stove with some water and sugar for a fruit compote to adds vitamins and flavor to any snack.
of sanity can cost you a pretty caffeine-laden penny. If the thought of brewing a pot of Folgers in the morning gives you the jitters, try buying the beans from your favorite spot. It will save you money, and you can also save the leftovers for an iced coffee drink later. Tupperware- If you have time to throw together a meal on the weekends, make extra and section it into small containers for lunch or dinner during the week. If pasta is your meal of choice, add a drop of olive oil with any protein or mixed veggies you have in the fridge for a flavorful meal in seconds. Peanut butter- Even when it seems like you don’t have the ingredients to make that simple
Now you have everything you need to cook up—or heat up—some delicious meals in your new apartment. Don’t forget about these staples everyone should keep on hand for any occasion: salt and pepper shakers, a silverware holder, milk, condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo or whatever pleases your palate), sugar, butter and eggs. Also remember not to splurge too much at the farmers’ market or the Library Mall fruit cart. These are two great options for fresh fare, but to save time and money, don’t forget about these kitchen staples to complete your basic kitchen needs. Bon appétit!
My research into this subject failed to mention that snifters also work well for making perfectly shaped pancakes, for which the family used it the next morning. It now sits in my bathroom holding random things I don’t want to lose. Things couldn’t have worked out better. Secondly, I learned the classiest way ever created to carry beer. I picked up this bit of knowledge at the annual Harley Davidson Festival Labor Day weekend. Every August, my father and I go to a concert, and this summer it just so happened to be with thousands of bikers. While wandering about, one woman stuck her cup of beer between her breasts. Now, I did not see this phenomenon with my own eyes, but apparently it was quite the sight. The ingenuity of this idea amazes me. It would be glorious to carry a beer and still have both hands free. Think of the possibilities. It’s the same thinking behind the contraptions that carry small children on people’s backs or fronts. And when you think about it, babies and beer can easily be categorized together. Both are usually obtained above a certain age, require careful handling and make people upset when you drop them. The thing that boggles my mind about this ingenious idea is the perfect scenario it requires. First, you need a big chest. Secondly, it can’t be too big so that it squishes the cup and spills beer all over you. Thirdly, it requires a unique social situation where people will be amazed instead of disgusted. I’m a bit envious that this woman satisfied all three. Now, when I hear specialists speculating about how much knowledge students lose during the summer, I can snicker to myself and relish the knowledge I gained. It may not help me ace my first botany exam, but it will make me a better member of society—with a beer in my boobs and a snifter in my hand. If you drink brandy out of a bong or have any other ideas of things you can use your large chest for, e-mail Emily at bisek@wisc.edu.

mpd must put students at ease
T
hursday morning, the Madison Police Department reported the sixth murder in Madison in 2008. Juan J. Bernal, 22, of Madison was stabbed outside the Plaza Tavern following an altercation with another bar patron Wednesday evening. This homicide comes only two days into the new school year and follows a tragic end to the 2007-’08 academic year. In February 2007, the Madison City Council approved the Downtown Safety Initiative, citing the need to decrease crime before and after bar time. The Initiative received $100,000 in funding to increase police overtime on Friday and Saturday nights in addition to the installation of new security cameras in the downtown area. From 2006 to 2007, the number of violent crimes reported in the Central District decreased from 253 to 178, and Madison Police credit programs like the Downtown Safety Initiative for the decrease. But incidents like Wednesday night’s stabbing indicate the Madison police still have room for improvement of latenight safety downtown.
Increasing police presence on the weekends is great, but the city must make sure to maintain the effort on weekdays as well. Madison bars are frequented every night of the week, not only on the weekends. And though all the police presence in the world might not have been able to prevent Wednesday’s killing, the MPD needs to provide some re-assurance to the UWMadison community. Students left campus last summer still uneasy about losing Brittany Zimmermann to a violent crime, and many must still feel unsafe considering the case’s many loose ends. No students were involved this time, but Wednesday night’s incident will do nothing but remind students that police have provided few answers to a case that took one of their own. Whether it involves releasing more information, enacting a new initiative or merely addressing students directly and personally on the issue of safety, the MPD needs to instill some confidence in the student body. Fear among students will only grow with each unsolved violent crime, and police need to remind and assure them that Madison is still a relatively safe city.

MEG ANDERSON/THE DAILY CARDINAL
Claire Rydell COLLEGE DEMOCRATS
Let’s take a minute, step back and take a good look at the amazing university we belong to. Not only do we have phenomenal professors leading cutting-edge research, topnotch academic facilities in all areas of campus and across-the-board excellent arts programs, we also have an amazingly vibrant campus extending beyond the reaches of the academic world. As UW-Madison students, we literally have hundreds of opportunities to become involved in our campus. Last year alone, there were 750 student organizations registered through the Student Organization Office. Nearly all areas of interest are represented in one way or another in the multiple student-run organizations. Only at UW-Madison are we able to attend
meetings about the importance of divestment in Sudan, greener energy solutions, volunteer opportunities in the Madison public schools and martial arts techniques—all on the same night. By taking advantage of what UW-Madison has to offer and joining one of the hundreds of student organizations, we are making our experience on this campus all the more enriching, meaningful and exciting. Now, I do not assume we all have numerous hours per week to spare. We have jobs, classes and other obligations. But, we owe it to ourselves to at least explore the outlets for thought, discussion and involvement student organizations on campus provide. With numerous options for student organization membership, how do we find which group is the perfect fit? Well, I can make a
suggestion for those students interested in improving the education system, making health care coverage more affordable and ending the Iraq War. If you agree with those ideals, College Democrats might be right for you. If you are interested in learning more about the issues or are not sure where you stand on the political spectrum, the College Democrats might also be right for you. And if you want to meet new people and make long-lasting friendships, the College Democrats is definitely right for you. What better way to interact with a group of students who share your interests and ideas than by joining a student organization, such as College Democrats? The student organizations here provide us all with the chance to form real friendships with people who hold similar interests, values and ideals. This fall, bring along a friend or two and join an organization. You can meet new people, discover the social aspect of community involvement and build friendships that transcend elections, crammed dorms and 8:50 a.m. discussion sections. As the school year gets underway and our minds turn to midterms and research papers, I encourage each and every one of you find what interests you and become involved on campus. I encourage you to attend the Student Organization Fair next Tuesday, Sept. 9 at 5 p.m. in the Kohl Center and discover for yourself all the students organizations on campus. Feel free to stop by the College Democrats table and speak with us about getting involved. Let’s take advantage of everything this phenomenal university has to offer. Become involved and engaged. In doing so, we as UW students can create the kind of future we want for ourselves and future generations. Claire Rydell is Chair of the College Democrats of Madison.

Director Pete Rydberg guarantees the show’s tasteful stripping and rip-away apparel will keep audiences rolling throughout the show’s one-month run at Bartell Theater on East Mifflin Street.
Baring ‘The Full Monty’ Students, TAs produce local version of Tony-Award nominee By Ali Rothschild THE DAILY CARDINAL
“The Full Monty” musical premiered in October of 2000 in New York, three years after the release of the British film of the same name. Eight years later it makes its way to Madison, with Mercury Players Theatre Company at the Bartell Theatre. Under the direction of secondyear Ph.D. student and TA Pete Rydberg, this is the first locally produced version of the show, which stars a predominantly student cast and company. If six stripping males aren’t enough to garner interest in this Tony-nominated show, then perhaps its catchy songs and witty plotline will. The play’s premise outlines the exploits of six unemployed Buffalo steel workers who decide to perform a strip act at a local club after seeing their wives’ interest in a group of touring professionals. Fifth-year senior Jeremy Sonkin, who plays Ethan, commented on the nature of being in a show with stripping. “We weren’t positive from the start how far we would be going, if we would be stripping all the way or what,” he said. “We actually didn’t do a full strip until a few nights before opening, and what could have been an awkward situation was just funny with the costume malfunctions and getting everything right.” Director Rydberg added, “The complications were less about the actors being comfortable enough with each other to be nude, but
he summer movie season is finally reaching its end, which means most of your movie appetites have been sated with plenty of big-budget fare, ranging from the superheroes (“Batman,” “Iron Man,” “Hellboy”) to the jokesters (“Zohan,” “Tropic Thunder,” “Pineapple Express”). Now, studios attempt to sneak in the movies which may have seemed like a good idea at some point—perhaps when they were drunk—but now enter theaters with more negative buzz than a nest of chronically depressed hornets. Anna Faris as an ex-Playboy Bunny turned sorority den mother in “The House Bunny”? Pass. Three high school kids—a fat one, a skinny one and a nerdy one—get ready for the big leap in the cleverly titled “College”? I saw that movie once already, and it was called “Superbad.” A bunch of computer-generated talking dogs who love to just chill out, max and relax in “Beverly Hills Chihuahua”? Ay Caramba! Yet none of these movies make me cringe, make me stew, make me scream to the Heavens, “Why hast thou betrayed me, Jesus?” more than “Disaster Movie.” The mere fact that this movie (and its predecessors) exists at all boggles the mind. The “Movie” genre started off innocuously enough with “Scary Movie,” a fun, albeit low-budget send-up of slasher films like “Scream” and “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” among others. The Wayans brothers, who have shown a knack for getting laughs out of the lowest form of movie (see “White Chicks” and “Little Man”), directed, wrote and starred in this movie with reckless abandon, introducing the world to the aforementioned Anna Faris. Fast-forward to 2005, when Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg, billed as “two of the five writers of ‘Scary Movie,’” brought us “Date
Movie,” a forgettable film with little to no plot and a wasted effort from the chronically underappreciated Alyson Hannigan. Despite overwhelmingly negative reviews, “Date Movie” debuted in the No. 1 spot at the box office and made $49 million domestically. Anxious to build on the film’s success, Seltzer and Friedberg moved onward and upward with “Epic Movie,” which functioned under the loose premise of parodying bigbudget behemoths, but in reality mixed in the most relevant and hip pop culture references of the moment. Soon, it seemed as if there was a new “Movie” movie each month, with the equally atrocious “Meet the Spartans,” “Superhero Movie” and now “Disaster Movie,” which appears to have little to no real plot, but plenty of Paris Hilton, Batman and Harry Potter caricatures sure to send the LOLmeter into ROFL territory. The inexplicable success of Seltzer and Friedberg leads me to wonder: What can be next in this sorry excuse for a movie franchise? “Tragic Movie”? “Dramatic Movie”? Or, these two sorry excuses for directors could do us all a favor and try their hand at truly unexplored territory by making “Funny Movie.” Think of it now, oh faithful readers. No cross-dressing “Sex and the City” characters, no sassy midgets and no scenes that read like this actual excerpt from “Disaster Movie.” Iron Man: “I am Iron Man!” (Then gets flattened by cow). Maybe I’m asking for too much, but as a note to Hollywood producers everywhere, I’d appreciate it if I didn’t have to descend into a fallout shelter at the end of August every year while you shower the unassuming public with this cinematic filth. “The House Bunny”? Bad. “College”? Worse. “Disaster Movie”? The cherry on top of the shit sundae known as the end of the summer movie season. If you have a better recipe for a sundae and would like to share it with Kevin, e-mail him at kevslane@gmail.com.

Whether they originally intended to or not, Sonkin and his company of fellow students and TAs take it all off in “The Full Monty.” more with the mechanics of ripaway shirts and rip-away pants.” “It’s not like the characters are having love scenes with each other, we’re more concerned with the technicality of getting a g-string off at the right time,” Rydberg said. But besides the obvious amusement of the striptease, both Sonkin and Rydberg insist that the show is just an overall good time. “Not only is it a good story, but the audience becomes unified in supporting the men throughout the show and takes part in the production,” Rydberg said. “We want the audience to get into the action and throw back energy at the actors. It’s not just a show where you sit down, look at your playbill and then the
lights go down. The audience will have an active good time instead of a passive good time.” “Pete has made the show really tasteful. He is very professional and has put a lot of thought and effort into making this a really great show,” Sonkin said.
“The Full Monty” where: Bartell Theater when: Thursdays and Fridays at 8 p.m. and Saturdays at 3:30 and 8 p.m. now through Sept. 27 cost: $20
How would you describe the Compass Rose’s sound?: It’s really an eclectic sound. We have a full-fledged string section ... It touches on orchestral, it touches on hip-hop, there are two songs in our set that are country songs, so it’s really diverse. The Compass Rose hasn’t been around long but will be opening for the Roots and the Black Keys. What were the keys to your quick success?: The music, I think, is really poignant and a lot of times people, the first time they see us ... and stop what they’re doing and really give full attention, and to me, that’s the ultimate compliment. What would you be doing right now if you weren’t playing music?: I wanted to be a professional basketball player before I turned into a guitar player, but that would never happen because I’m really too short and slow. Droho and the Compass Rose will open for the Roots and the Black Keys at this weekend’s FREE SoCo Music Festival at the Alliant Energy Center. The band will also play a show 6 p.m. Tuesday at Café Montmartre and 8 p.m. Thursday at Lucky’s Bar and Grille.

he path to March is now set for Wisconsin men’s basketball. With the release of UW’s schedule, two themes become quite clear: The Badgers have few reservations about playing challenging opponents out of conference, but the disheartening flaw of an unbalanced Big Ten schedule is still present. The Badgers will face at least two top-20 teams—Texas and Marquette—before Christmas. The Golden Eagles return their top three players in Jerel McNeal, Wes Matthews and Dominic James and will host Wisconsin in the first year A.C. (After Crean). D.J. Augustine has left Austin, but most of the Longhorn’s Elite Eight team from last year returns. The caliber of opponent in the Big Ten-ACC challenge, however, has fallen precipitously from last year. Where there was a trip to Cameron Indoor Stadium to play Duke last season, now sits a visit to play Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. The Hokies may have been one of the best teams not in the NCAA tournament last season, but the game lacks the pizzazz of welcoming the Blue Devils to the Kohl Center.
challenged by a rising Purdue team. Last season, the Badgers were 6-0 in conference before they ventured to West Lafayette and took their first loss. Purdue will be considered one of the favorites in the conference as it graduated no one from last season’s second-place team and returns reigning Big Ten Freshman of the Year Robbie Hummel. Wisconsin, however, will not face Michigan State at home or go to Ohio State. That duo represents two contenders for the Big Ten crown. Is this really acceptable? Bo Ryan has already come out in favor of going to a complete roundrobin 20-game schedule, and with more than 30 games played in most seasons, the two game increase is not that big of a deal. Now we have a situation where the difference in a Big Ten race could come down to a schedule that features one less against Northwestern compared to one less against Purdue. In a competitive Big Ten this could be the difference. Wisconsin basketball deserves respect for its willingness to play games against top competition. Unfortunately, the release of the schedule serves as a reminder of the absurdity of playing an incomplete Big Ten arrangement.

Volleyball heads west By Andy Van Sistine TH DAILY CARDINAL
As the majority of the UW campus settles into Madison for good this week, the No. 10 Wisconsin volleyball team (3-0) is gearing up to head out of town for the second straight week. Last weekend, the Badgers completed sweeps against Western Carolina, Pittsburgh and Kentucky to earn first place at the Kentucky Classic tournament. Now the Badgers set their sights on UNLV (1-2), Miami of Ohio (1-2) and Cal State Fullerton (2-1) as they travel to Las Vegas for the UNLV Invitational. Despite starting the year with so much time on the road, the team seems undaunted by taking on their opponents in distant venues. “I think a huge key for our team is to be able to win on the road and stay mentally tough that way,” senior middle blocker and team captain Audra Jeffers said. “I think [road games are] just going to make our team stronger.” Head coach Pete Waite’s team looks to be the clear favorite to win the tournament thanks to a cast of players that has put up outstanding numbers in just three matches thus far. In her first outing this year, junior outside hitter Brittney Dolgner quickly re-established herself as a prominent offensive threat, throwing down 39 kills and earning the tournament MVP award at the Kentucky Classic. Junior right side hitter Katherine Dykstra and senior middle blocker Audra Jeffers also showed prowess on both sides of the ball, combining for 50 kills and 14 blocks last weekend, earning them both all-tournament honors. Wisconsin also found promise in its new 6-2 offensive scheme dur-
ing its first three matches. By starting two setters in sophomore Nikki Klingsporn and freshman Janelle Gabrielsen, the Badgers were able to crank out a team hitting percentage of .302 while holding their opponents to just .096 last weekend. Wisconsin will likely continue to use this new setup at the UNLV Invitation in hopes of repeating last weekend’s success. “For the first time against an opponent, it took some getting used to,” Waite said of the 6-2 offense. “We’re not just replacing one setter that had been there for four years in [graduated setter] Jackie Simpson. We have two new people making new connections with our hitters, and they just got better every time they stepped on the court. We’re really pleased with that.” Though the Badgers unquestionably have the superior lineup, their competitors also have a few weapons that may present challenges to earning another weekend road sweep. UNLV’s junior outside hitter Jessica Walters has been averaging 4.62 kills per set so far this season, and the Rebels have 10 letterwinners returning from last year’s Mountain West conference champion team. Miami presents a balanced offense to challenge Wisconsin’s defense, with five players throwing down 2.14 kills per set or better. The Badgers’ biggest concern against Cal State Fullerton will be shutting down senior outside hitter Brittany Moore, who has been averaging 3.55 kills and 3.73 digs per set. “The first couple of weekends on the road is actually kind of nice to get out there and test ourselves,” Waite said. “Then coming back home, it will be great in front of our student section and our home court fans.”

Beyond those, the non-conference slate is filled by a motley group of teams one would expect to find in the beginning of any major team’s schedule. Teams like Long Beach State, UW-Whitewater and Idaho State, which should put up some resistance but really never threaten the Badgers at home. UWMilwaukee under former Badger assistant Rob Jeter could become a hazard, though they failed to finish above .500 a year ago. The biggest key to the non-conference schedule will be Wisconsin’s trip to paradise... or more precisely the Virgin Islands for the Paradise Jam Tournament. There they could draw the UConn Huskies, a team that returns everyone from last season’s 24-win team and is projected as a top-five team. There is little to complain about with this non-conference schedule. The slate boasts up to three opponents that will likely be in the top-25 and a spattering of other decent teams. That is praiseworthy considering how some teams seem to draw exclusively from the bottom of D-I basketball for their whole schedule. The Big Ten schedule, however, highlights an unfortunate fact. Each team will only play an 18-game schedule, meaning year in, year out they will play two opponents only once. Wisconsin is the defending conference champion, but they will be

UW prevailed 38-17 against the Zips. “It’s a blessing having three running backs,” Clay said. “We don’t miss a beat with any one of us in the game.” But fans shouldn’t expect that much rushing every game, according to offensive coordinator Paul Chryst. “I’m looking more for 50-something carries per game,” Chryst said. Under the direction of head coach Mark Snyder, who attended clinics with Bielema when they were both Big Ten assistant coaches, Marshall displayed a capable offense in its season opener against Illinois State. The Herd came out on top 35-10 and will be looking to improve on last year’s 3-9 record.
