County’s 911 center director resigns Joe Norwick resigned Friday after months of 911 center controversy By Abby Sears THE DAILY CARDINAL

After several months of scrutiny and criticism surrounding the Dane County 911 Center, the center’s director announced his resignation Friday. Joe Norwick, the director of the county’s Public Safety Communications Center, resigned from his position effective Sept. 19. Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk accepted Norwick’s resignation and commended him for his contributions to the county, which included technological upgrades to the 911 Center and organizing the implementation of a $30 million count-wide emergency radio system.

“I thank Director Norwick for his service and the enhancements he embarked upon as director of the Public Safety Communications Center,” Falk said in a statement. Norwick’s resignation comes nearly four months after the 911 Center received criticism for the mishandling of a 911 call from the cell phone of Brittany Zimmermann, a 21-year-old UWMadison student killed in her offcampus apartNORWICK ment in April. In May, Norwick admitted that a dispatcher mistook Zimmermann’s call as an accidental or “hang up” call and failed to call her back to verify the occurrence of an emergency, a violation of center policy. Since the controversy, county ofﬁcials have worked

to review policies and technological equipment at the 911 Center. Norwick held the position of 911 Center director since July 2007, following a brief retirement after more than 30 years of working in the Dane County Sheriff ’s Department. Falk named Kathy Krusiec, former director of Dane County Emergency Management, as interim director of the 911 Center. Krusiec, who was the county’s emergency management director since 1993, has many years of experience in public safety. As emergency management director for Chippewa County, Krusiec wrote an Enhanced 911 Implementation Plan and also worked as an Emergency Medical Services specialist prior to her directorship. Falk said Krusiec will not seek the position permanently and, the county will begin a nation-wide search for a permanent director.

Bail set in fatal bar ﬁght stabbing By Abby Sears THE DAILY CARDINAL

The man accused of stabbing a fellow patron outside a downtown bar last week made his first court appearance on charges of first-degree homicide Friday during a bail hearing. Justin Stout, 31, is currently being held on $250,000 cash bail in connection with the homicide of Juan Bernal, 22, who suffered two fatal stab wounds to the chest Wednesday outside the Plaza Tavern at 319 Henry St. Madison Police Department Public Information Officer Joel DeSpain said it did not appear Stout and Bernal knew each other. Assistant District Attorney Mike

Verveer said the violence leading to the death stemmed from a disagreement over music playing on the tavern’s jukebox. “It’s just unbelievable that such a senseless tragedy occurred over music,” Verveer said. Also appearing in court Friday was 34-year-old Travis Knapp, who was with Stout the night of the stabbing. Knapp was awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to substantial battery following an incident in which he punched a woman in front of the Pub Tavern on State Street in February. Knapp was homicide page 3

Republican presidential candidate John McCain and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, speak in Cedarburg, Wis., during their ﬁrst post-convention campaign stop together. By Charles Brace THE DAILY CARDINAL

CEDARBURG, Wis.—The day after he accepted the Republican nomination for president, John McCain made a campaign stop in a small Wisconsin town Friday and vowed to change the direction of the country. McCain was accompanied by Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who was recently announced as his surprise choice for vice presidential running mate. Palin generated excitement in the crowd, with more than 10,000 people attending when the campaign had initially only expected around 2,000. Palin’s speech focused largely on criticizing Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and highlighting McCain’s record. “In politics, there are can-

didates who use change to promote their careers and then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change,” Palin said. She said Obama was “profoundly” wrong about the troop surge in Iraq and mentioned that he recently admitted it was working. As a former soldier and prisoner of war, McCain has shown he is committed to serving the country, according to Palin. McCain’s speech focused more on domestic issues. He said the practice of “pork barrel” legislation, where lawmakers insert lucrative projects for their home states into a bill, should end. The first bill with such measures in it would be vetoed if he becomes president, McCain said. Independence from Middle

Eastern oil sources, according to McCain, could be achieved by a combination of alternative energies, though he promised to drill for more oil in the United States. “We will drill offshore and we will drill now,” McCain said, eliciting shouts of “Drill! Drill!” from the crowd. He said he has a record of bipartisanship and independence in the U.S. Senate that shows he is qualiﬁed, though he said other lawmakers do not always use the word “maverick” as a compliment toward him. Both McCain and Palin portrayed themselves as people willing to change the “culture” of Washington, D.C. Cedarburg resident Jan Shidan said it seemed like Palin attracted mccain page 3

More than 2,000 athletes from around the globe gathered in Madison on Sunday to compete in the 2008 Ironman Wisconsin triathlon. Competitors began the event at 7 a.m. with a 2.4-mile swim in Lake Monona, followed by a 112-mile bike ride through Dane County and ﬁnished in front of the capitol building after a 26.2-mile marathon through the downtown area. Australian Chris McDonald took home top honors in the men’s race,

finishing with a time of 8 hours, 43 minutes and 29 seconds, according to Ironman Wisconsin results. In the women’s race, Hillary Biscay of Tucson, Ariz., finished first with a time of 9:47:25. Also among the Ironman competitors were triathletes from UWMadison. Sara Schmitt of Duluth, Minn., said she woke up at 5 a.m. to cheer on older sister Jenny Schmitt, a ironman page 3

ike approximately 9,000 other students at UWMadison, July 7 was one of the worst days of my college career. With the simple phrase, “You did not receive tickets,” the UW Ticket Ofﬁce smashed my hopes of another season spent “Jumping Around” Camp Randall. My brain was too stunned to absorb the e-mail. I, a football coach’s daughter, not at the game? For four months of every year, football is life at the Corbett household. I’ve been to a football game every weekend of every season since I could shout cruel and demeaning things at a ref. My freshman year, I didn’t have tickets, and I nearly cried every gameday as I heard choruses of “Build Me Up Buttercup” and “Swingtown” ﬂoating out of the stadium. I couldn’t take that again.

within sight of the Camp Randall arch. But as a very resourceful junior, I began to scheme. There had to be an alternative way into the stadium. My ﬁrst thought was cheerleading. I am blonde, loud and—damn it—if being overly perky was the only way I would get into my beloved stadium, then perky I would be. Plus I had taken three months of gymnastics when I was 7, so I had experience. I was sure I could learn a double somersault quadruple bypass half-pipe with a twist in time for the season. Sadly, the team did not agree. Perhaps it was because when they cheered, “We want more!” I chose to scream “blood!” at the end, instead of “beer.” While my drunken dormmates appreciate my thirst for a physical game, the cheerleading team seemed unimpressed, if not frightened. The team respected my enthusiasm, however, and suggested I try out to be a Bucky. As far as I know, the Buckys aren’t usually female, but I had spunk. I would “Jump Around,” hassle the other mascots and shimmy like Bucky has never

shimmied before. I think things could have worked out if the players had agreed to never score more than 14 points so I wouldn’t have to max out on push-ups, but even with our strong defense, Bielema couldn’t make me any promises. With my rejection from cheering and playing Bucky, I searched for another option. Sitting on the front step of my apartment building, I gazed longingly at the arch. Why not use such a location to my advantage? So I began excavation on a series of underground tunnels ending somewhere near section O. Unfortunately, digging underground tunnels is hard and dangerous work and, while resourceful, I am also quite lazy. So instead of an elaborate tunnel system leading to the 50-yard line, we now have a six-foot deep “Pit of Doom” in the yard. If anyone asks, it was the neighbor’s spastic dog. The dog is also the one who covers the hole up with leaves and sticks every night and watches drunk people stumble into it. It’s really the meanest beagle I’ve ever met. With hopes dashed, I met up with a friend who also didn’t get

tickets. Pigging out on ice cream and candy, we tried to cheer ourselves up with a girls’ night. As she scanned Facebook, she came across Garrett Graham and—of course!— as she gushed over his good looks, the answer came. How had I not thought of it before? Date a player and of course you get into the game. Not only do you get into the game, but you probably get amazing seats. And dating a football player isn’t as dangerous as digging an underground tunnel or as much work as the cheerleader’s routines. I may have a boyfriend, but he knows my passion for the game. As long as things don’t get too heated with the player, I think we can reach an understanding. So, if any young players are out there looking for a devoted fan and a way to shed excess tickets, I’m your girl. And if it doesn’t work out, maybe some ticketholder will stumble into the “Pit of Doom” and exchange tickets for their freedom. If you have a scheme to sneak into the football games or are an eligible bachelor on the team, e-mail Megan at mcorbett2@wisc.edu.

ISO to hold forums, discussions of change Student socialist group reaches out during election season By Erin Banco THE DAILY CARDINAL

UW-Madison’s International Socialist Organization will introduce the “The Case for Socialism” Wednesday night at Memorial Union during its kickoff meeting, with the intent to offer students a different view of the upcoming presidential election. According to their website, ISO is a socialist chapter of a larger national organization ﬁghting for social change around the country. Sherry Wolf, International Socialist Review editorial board

member and author of “Sexuality and Socialism,” will begin the forum and speak about the need for organization. Elizabeth Wrigley-Field, UWMadison graduate student and member of ISO, said the organization hosts meetings each week. “We do a number of different kinds of meetings … this meeting in particular is really this year’s kickoff,” she said. “We want people to be able to come and ask their questions, and raise their opinions about what needs to change and how.” UW-Madison alumnus and ISO member Ben Ratliffe said he questions the promises current politicians make to the public and wants to help direct students on a different path. “While many people are excited about Obama’s campaign we are a

little skeptical about whether Obama will be able to do everything he says he is going to do … I actually think his actual platform looks a little bit more conservative than most people are right now,” Ratliffe said. Both Ratliffe and Wrigley-Field want students to know the organization offers an outlet for change that differs from the Democrats and Republicans. “Students more and more are looking at the systematic destruction of the American dream … I think the ISO proves that there is something better and that change is actually possible,” Wrigley-Field said. ISO is also helping the Campus Antiwar Network with their kickoff meeting Sept. 15 and will host a forum for Iraq vets against the war Sept. 27.

UW-Madison’s Teaching Assistants’ Association encouraged members to help elect a pro-labor and pro-education state legislature Friday at its annual welcome back party. The TAA, which is the ﬁrst graduate employee union in the world, formed in 1966 and has been bargaining with the state for the rights of teaching assistants and project assistants ever since. Speakers at the party included U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., state Sen. Fred Risser, D-Madison, and TAA co-presidents Mark Supanich and Tim Frandy. The TAA, according to Baldwin, has played a crucial role in important debates in Wisconsin such as the availability of domestic partner beneﬁts. Baldwin said much is at stake in this year’s election for education, organized labor, the environment, the economy and foreign policy, and teaching assistants should encourage

Supanich said the most important issue for many TAA members is gaining domestic partner beneﬁts, and electing a pro-labor and pro-education state Legislature would improve chances of achieving it. Frandy urged TAA members to get involved in the election this fall.

“We need everyone in this room to work together, to take some time … to do what we can to really work through the TAA to make a change that will last and be resonant,” Frandy said. The Wisconsin state primary is Tuesday and its outcome will determine who will face off for state seats on Nov. 4. It will also determine the winners in races with only one party running.

ordered to abstain from drinking, but police arrested him for felony bail jumping after Wednesday’s stabbing when his blood alcohol content was .13, Verveer said. Dane County Court Commissioner Dan Floeter set cash bail of $5,000 for Knapp. Verveer said Knapp could also face additional charges related to the incident at the Plaza. If Stout posts his $250,000 bail, Floeter ordered him to not have any contact with members of Bernal’s family or with Knapp. He must also stay away from the State Street area and not possess any dangerous weapons. Stout is expected to return to court for an initial appearance and face formal criminal charges early in the week, according to Verveer. Verveer said he hopes the Plaza does not incur a negative reputation as a result of the incident. He described the Plaza as a model establishment that typically poses few issues to police or the city’s Alcohol License Review Committee. “The Plaza is the furthest thing from a problem bar,” Verveer said. “It just goes to show that this really could have occurred anywhere.”

Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader and his running mate Matt Gonzalez visited Madison Friday and spoke at the Orpheum Theater about the need to change the U.S. government and elections. Nader officially earned the right to appear on the Wisconsin ballot after his campaign collected twice the required 2,000 signatures last week.

“You’ve been voting for winners and been losing.” Ralph Nader presidential candidate Independent Party

During a news conference Nader said he continues to run for president to promote change in federal elections in spite of his narrow chances of winning. This is Nader’s third presidential election. “What keeps me coming out here is that I don’t like the corporate government in Washington shutting the doors on the ability of the American people to go to Washington and improve their country,” Nader said. According to Nader, voters should not just vote for the candidate who can win, but for the

candidate they believe in. He said the two-party system has not been successful for American citizens. “You’ve been voting for winners and been losing,” Nader said. He said he has an equal right to run in the election as Democratic candidate Barack Obama and Republican candidate John McCain and does not believe he is taking votes away from a particular candidate. “We’re either all spoilers of one another, or none of us are spoilers,” Nader said. He said Americans are taking their civic freedoms for granted and are not demanding enough out of their government. According to Nader, some reasons for this are students not learning enough critical thinking skills in school, and social science has become a second-class subject. Gonzalez said the Democratic Party shares responsibility with the Republican Party for U.S. involvement in the Iraq War because Democratic members of Congress did not vote against war funding. He said war appropriations rose after Nancy Pelosi took office as Speaker of the House. “The theme that we’re really trying to communicate to people is to get away from this idea that somehow one political party is at fault for where we are today,” Gonzalez said. Gonzalez said if he and Nader could participate in the presidential debates, it would be a threeway contest.

‘Bucky Bus’ returns with new operator The “Bucky Bus” is under a new operating system for the 2008-’09 football season after a federal law prohibited Madison Metro Transit from providing the service as it had in the past. City ofﬁcials implemented the law in April, dubbing it a charter service because it did not offer a standard fare or schedule. Kobussen Buses Ltd. of Sun Prairie now operates Bucky Bus with 27 fullsize vehicles—17 buses from Lots 60 and 76 near UW Hospital and 10 buses from downtown parking ramps—to

Camp Randall on gamedays. Badger fans now have to pay a round-trip fee of $5, which is $1 more than Madison Metro charged last year. The shuttles run two hours before kick off and one hour following games. Shuttles are expected to be available approximately every ﬁve to 10 minutes. According to UW-Madison ofﬁcials, Bucky Bus generally provides rides to more than 5,000 fans per game and more than 50,000 people per year.

911 must reform, restore faith

fter a dismal year for the Dane County 911 Center—in which public support and faith in the program plummeted—the opportunity to turn the page has finally arrived. Dane County executives and the 911 Center must take full advantage of it. As 911 Center Director Joe Norwick announced his resignation, effective Sept. 19, the organization will shed a leadership figure who absorbed the brunt of public criticism for the mishandling of Brittany Zimmermann’s 911 call at the time of her slaying. Whether or not Norwick was the sole cause of the problem, his inability to publicly answer questions regarding the call and apparent lack of knowledge about proper procedure brought a great amount of criticism from the Madison community. Furthermore, Norwick’s failure to apologize for the mishandled call left even greater doubt about the 911 Center’s competency in the public eye. With Norwick’s resignation, the 911 Center ﬁnds itself in dire need of change. Dane County ofﬁcials and 911 Center executives currently debate priorities in budgeting and proposed changes for the coming year. The current computer system is severely outdated, and while other states prepare to update their current systems for technological advancements— such as receiving text messages and online phone calls—Wisconsin is one of only three states without funding dedicated to maintaining Enhanced 911 equipment and covering related costs. If Norwick’s resignation signals anything for the 911 Center and Dane County in general, they must allow it to

symbolize a changing of the winds. Those in charge of the 911 Center, and whomever is appointed as the new director, must understand that the current 911 system in Dane County, and most of Wisconsin, is severely flawed. Furthermore, those in charge must aim for a greater statewide coordination of the 911 Center. Minnesota, which operates with a statewide 911 board accountable for the actions of an entire 911 system, implemented technology to better trace wireless callers in 1994—10 years before Wisconsin passed similar legislation. Minnesota’s 911 centers also require certification of dispatchers and the publishing of an annual 911 report. Wisconsin requires neither of these. Wisconsin must take a hint from other states and the services offered by their 911 call centers: Its current practices and equipment are in danger of becoming increasingly outdated and insufficient. When an organization’s purpose is to serve citizens in need, money should not be a deciding issue. Finding an alternative source of revenue to support the call center must become a top priority. Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk and the 911 Advisory Board have a daunting task ahead of them in finding a new director, but they must take full advantage of Norwick’s resignation—using it as an opportunity to both clean house and restore public faith after a horrendous year. Appointing a director who is experienced in 911 Center procedures and willing to push for reforms in funding and existing policies is the first step.

Wrap-around ads create unnecessary problems RYAN DASHEK opinion columnist

eturning students and incoming freshmen alike have no doubt already noticed that many of the Madison Metro System’s buses are (still) brandishing fully wrapping advertisements. However, much to the dismay of many Madison residents, the City Council voted in early July to not only keep these ads around, but also to double the number of ad-wrapped buses. Just what is the reasoning behind such a decision, many ask? With the economy in the state it is right now, and the ever-increasing price of gas, the metro system has found it increasingly difficult to stay afloat in such times and has turned to advertising for third-party companies to supplement its dwindling revenue.

The City Council has put Madison Metro into a vicious cycle of lower ridership by keeping these ads around.

As many City Council members reasoned, either the buses could carry advertisements or several of the lesser used routes were going to be cut. However, wrapping ads around metro buses is not the solution to increasing revenue for Madison Metro and will cause more problems than it solves. Many metro riders have voiced several complaints against these advertisements, and some have gone so far as to boycott the metro system, as people point out that the ads make seeing through

the windows (especially at night or during rain or snow) particularly difficult. Others just argue that the ads themselves are gaudy, or even cause feelings of claustrophobia inside the buses. Regardless of the complaint, Madison Metro is worsening the quality of their service by keeping the advertisements around and thus lowering the number of its riders. As fewer riders equal less fares collected, and less fares equal less revenue, what will the Metro use to cover the lessening revenue? More wrap-around bus ads? Ultimately, the City Council has put Madison Metro into a vicious cycle of lower ridership by deciding to keep these advertisements around. Though many riders have complained about such advertisements, safety is still the No. 1 concern for metro users. However, when safety is the No. 1 worry on the buses, why are we restricting the ability to see into the buses with these ads? They impair almost any visibility into buses from the outside, not only at night but also during the day. Not being able to see out the windows to find your stop is one thing, but not being able to see a crime occurring inside a bus is completely different and could potentially endanger lives. These ads provide perfect concealment for those wishing to perform illicit acts on the bus without drawing attention from outside. With the massive amounts of bikers and pedestrians roving about on the streets of Madison (not to mention the countless numbers of cars and trucks), do drivers need yet another distraction on the roads? While it could be argued that these wrap-around ads are intended for pedestrians and others in more stationary locations, there is no doubt that these ‘moving billboards’ are constantly being noticed and distracting drivers. While this may not be the biggest concern about

these advertisements, it still is a viable problem. However, a solution to Madison Metro’s economic woes is not as simple as many people would like to think. Some suggested alternative solutions include wrapping other public service vehicles, such as police cars, fire engines and garbage collection trucks. While placing advertisements on police and fire vehicles would pose other obvious safety issues, what sort of company would want to be associated with trucks that not only reek of garbage and waste but are also filled with it? No, unfortunately we cannot just magically solve the metro’s economic woes by wrapping public property with advertisements.

Wrapping ads around metro buses will cause more problems than it solves.

Instead of looking for a way to increase revenue, Madison Metro should be looking at ways to decrease costs—without necessarily cutting routes. All too often I see an empty bus idling on the side of the road for five or 10 minutes. I understand that sometimes drivers leave the bus to switch places with a different driver or take a short break, but why can’t they turn off the bus while it is just sitting there? It would save only a little in gas, but with the price of gas the way it is, every little bit counts. No doubt more abstract solutions could be thought up, but regardless of the means to save on costs and increase revenue, those wrap-around ads need to go. Ryan Dashek is a junior majoring in biology.

‘Full Monty’ generates praise, loses clothes By Corrie Eggimann THE DAILY CARDINAL

Generally, teaching assistants conduct their discussions, answer questions and dismiss class. In the Mercury Players’ production of “The Full Monty,” however, two UWMadison TAs will bare it all on stage in 12 shows between now and Sept. 27 at the Bartell Theatre. Starring two UW undergrads and two UW grad students, the hit British musical comedy is funny and full of energy from the first number to the last. The musical, based on the 1997 British film by the same name, opens with a meeting of recently laid-off steel-mill workers. Depressed about their current misfortune, the men consider a get-rich-quick gig to regain their pride and better their financial situation. Jerry (Dan Graupner) and Dave (Eric Schoof), two of the recently unemployed men, suggest exotic dancing as a solution after they meet a dancer from their town.

Soon enough, the whole group begins an untraditional adventure in male stripping. The leading six men all deliver entertaining performances with bubbling enthusiasm. James Macon Grant, a theatre TA, plays an old man named Horse who is still able to shake it. The rest of the cast is strong as well, creating a quirky and dynamic team of characters. Its comedy aside, the musical also tells a light-hearted tale of how to love yourself for what’s inside. The men of the “Hot Metal” strip show learn to be happy with their lives and the people in them without looking like the models in magazines who “have the goods.” The rock-orchestra—composed of Madison artists young and old—sets the scenes and keeps the excitement high. The set is simple but allows for great variety and smooth transitions between scenes. While this show will appeal to

avid theatergoers, it’s also sure to lure a broader audience than most musicals. After all, this is a story about average-looking men who drink beer, swear and sing about everything from their perceived inadequacy to their hairy backs. Overall, they’re just more relatable. This tale of six unemployedbut-charming men runs Thursday through Saturday each week of this month. Do the guys have the balls to bare it all? Only one way to ﬁnd out.

“The Full Monty” where: Bartell Theatre when: Thursdays/Fridays @ 8:00 p.m.; Saturdays at 3:30 & 8:00 p.m. cost: $15 for students. Tickets available at www.brownpapertickets.com.

Cage’s latest disaster only ‘Dangerous’ to career, attention spans By Brittany Jordt THE DAILY CARDINAL

Nicolas Cage. We’ve seen him many times before, but not quite like this. This time, he’s wearing much more leather, his hair is

nearly shoulder length and he’s more monosyllabic than ever before. He bursts into “Bangkok Dangerous” with the lines, “My name is Joe. This is what I do.” By ‘this,’ he means assassination.

PHOTO COURTESY FILM BANGKOK

Sporting dreads and intimidation, Nicolas Cage stars as Joe in ‘Bangkok Dangerous’—a ﬁlm with characters so raw they don’t need last names.

Cage, hitman extraordinaire, has arrived in Bangkok to complete a series of killings, after which he intends to retire. All the killing is beginning to wear on him, however. It’s affecting him on a deeper, more profound level now. Never mind that he can’t express himself. No assassin can. He just looks off into the distance after his lines with a haunted look in his eye, brushes back his long black locks and sighs. Cage’s character opens the movie with straight narration: This is who I am and this is what I do. He’s close to no one and he leaves no trace. These are the rules of being an assassin, he explains to the audience. It’s a hard life, and Nicolas Cage plays the martyr. The problem is, no one feels bad for Joe, whose backstory is never revealed to the audience. No one knows how he became an assassin, or why. This makes him utterly dull as a character, failing to elicit any emotion. There’s really just no reason

to sympathize with him, outside of sympathy for how ridiculous he looks trying to be as badass as Samuel L. Jackson. So it goes that the main character and anti-hero of the ﬁlm is impenetrable to both the supporting characters and, most importantly, the audience.

Nicolas Cage no longer projects a badass persona.

Over the course of the movie, Cage manages to acquire a loyal sidekick, Kong (Shahkrit Yamnarm) and a love interest, Fon (Charlie Yeung), who is a deaf mute. Neither of these characters manages to raise the bar when it comes to intrigue. They certainly aren’t getting feed-

back from Cage’s character, though he is a teacher to Kong and lover to Fon. Fon already cannot communicate well, and Cage is limited by the assassin code of only speaking short lines, and never anything meaningful, so that relationship is doomed from the start. Directed by the Pang Brothers and co-produced with Nicolas Cage, this dark action flick doesn’t quite live up to the genre. Nicolas Cage no longer projects a badass persona, and the lame dialogue, coupled with those meaning-filled glances, happen all too often and are truly cringe-worthy. What this movie has to offer is limited to a few chase scenes and some interesting cinematography of Bangkok. Its major failing, then, is that it doesn’t play to its strengths as an action film; make it about the action. Instead, it tries to take a deeper turn by making it about Cage’s character, and it fails. Grade: CD

Viva Las Vegas: Badgers go 2-1 on trip By Jay Messar THE DAILY CARDINAL

The No. 10 Wisconsin volleyball team hit several speed bumps en route to Las Vegas last weekend at the UNLV Invitational. After storms closed the Denver airport, the Badgers got off to a slow start upon arrival to Cox Pavilion, ﬁnishing in second place with a 2-1 match record. Wisconsin 3, UNLV 2 Facing a UNLV match point in the ﬁfth set Friday night, junior opposite hitter Katherine Dykstra hit three straight kills through the Rebel defense to give the Badgers an opening-round victory by a score of 25-19, 25-27, 25-20, 2025, 17-15. “I think we were a little up and down tonight, but it was nice that we pulled it out in the end and actually came from behind,” Wisconsin head coach Pete Waite said. “When you can do that on a night when you’re not playing your best, that says a lot for the group and the determination that they have.” Dykstra led the Badgers with 21 kills on the night. Junior Brittney Dolgner added 17 kills, and junior Caity DuPont hit a team high .421 from the outside with 11 kills. “UNLV is the type of team that is pretty deceptive as far as when you look at them on paper or watch them on tape,” Waite said.

recap from page 8 Clay kept the momentum going through the fourth quarter by consistently pummeling up the middle, sometimes with a defender or two on his back. “I try to think that I shouldn’t just get tackled by one person,” Clay said. “I like to have a whole gang try to take me down.”

“They don’t look like they’re anything outstanding, but they dig a ton of balls and the run a little different offense.” “We got the first match against the home team, and that was an important thing,” Waite said. “They had the crowd behind them, and we were able to stand up and get the win.” Miami (Ohio) 3, Wisconsin 1 The Badgers’ travel woes caught up with them early Saturday morning, as the Redhawks of Miami University of Ohio handed Wisconsin its first loss of the season 25-13, 25-23, 21-25, 29-27. The Badgers hit a miserable combined -.014 in the first two games. Dykstra, the only Badger to amass double-digit kills, led the team with 13. Wisconsin 3, Cal State Fullerton 0 Wisconsin answered its loss against Miami with a resounding sweep of Cal State Fullerton 25-16, 25-21, 25-22 to finish as the tournament runner-up. “I was happy with the way the team rebounded from the match this morning,” Waite said. “We really have to look at this morning as a fluke–late trip the first night, long match the next night and just flat the next morning. Obviously we have things to work on, but they responded well.”

After letting two touchdowns slip by in the ﬁrst 17 minutes, the defense stepped it up by putting pressure on the quarterback to shut down the Herd’s passing options. Carter credited the defensive line for his interception. “I’m thankful for any time they can get their hands up and pressure the quarterback,” Carter

Dolgner, who hit a season low -.263 with just two kills against Miami, ﬁnished with nine kills and hit a respectable .273 against Fullerton. “We really got to see some great things out of Elle Ohlander,” said Waite. “As a freshman coming in who has been doing great in practice and earned a spot on the court, she did very, very well.” Ohlander, a 6'6" freshman middle blocker, earned the start against the Titans and led the team with 13 kills on .550 hitting. “You just don’t see Brittney Dolgner have matches like that. I think she was maybe putting a little too much pressure on herself to be perfect and carry the team all of the time,” Waite said. “We really like that she came back mentally and was able to help us again.” Following the ﬁnal match of the tournament, Dolgner and Dykstra were named to the All-Tournament Team—their second-straight weekend honors. Next weekend, the Badgers will return to the Field House to host the InnTowner Invitational, where they will face Central Michigan, IUPUI and No. 16 BYU. “It will be nice to be back,” said Waite of playing at home. “These trips are fun, but they’re tiring. We’re excited to be in Madison again, in front of our home crowd. It’s such a great environment to play in, and I know the whole team is looking forward to it.”

said. “Because when you have to get rid of the ball fast, you get ﬂustered.” Middle linebacker Jaevery McFadden racked up nine tackles, and defensive lineman Dan Moore had six. Cann completed 20-of-39 passes for 211 yards for the Herd, and leading rusher Darius Marshall gained 50 yards on 15 carries.

analysis from page 8 Through the ﬁrst quarter, Wisconsin had 25 yards of rushing on eight attempts. But once Evridge took the ball to the air, that number changed drastically. Freshman running back John Clay received most of the reward, rushing for 56 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries. With Evridge’s

ability to take control of the game by passing—something that is usually accomplished by running the ball—the beginning of the end had come for Marshall. “We wanted to see if he could throw the football, and he did, he threw the ball,” Snyder said. “We wanted to make him beat us lefthanded, and, literally, he beat us lefthanded.”

RECAP

14 51

1-1 (0-0 C-USA) 2-0 (0-0 Big Ten)

By Scott Allen THE DAILY CARDINAL

After a sub-par first-quarter performance created a two-touchdown deficit for the Wisconsin football team Saturday, quarterback Allan Evridge revitalized the offense with more than 300 passing yards. That effort, along with a fine defensive performance, allowed the Badgers to score 51 unanswered points and soundly defeat Marshall 51-14 at Camp Randall Stadium. “He did a tremendous job being a leader, stepping up and getting us down the field when the running game was kind of hurting at the moment,” freshman running back John Clay said. In the first quarter, nothing seemed to go right for the Badgers. Wisconsin went three-and-out on all but one drive and gave Marshall 40 yards on penalties alone. But after going 0-for-4 in the first quarter, Evridge completed 17-of-26 passes for 308 yards and one touchdown. After netting a mere 25 rushing yards in the first quarter, running backs P.J. Hill, Zach Brown and Clay accumulated 147 yards and five touchdowns by game’s end. The start of the turnaround was a 36-yard toss to junior tight end Garrett Graham, who got wide open on the left sideline. It put UW beyond midfield for the first time. From that point—a few minutes into the second quarter—through the rest of the game, the defense did not allow another score, and the offense capitalized on nearly every drive. “We just got in a rhythm there, and I think you could kind of see the pendulum swing,” head coach Bret Bielema said. The Badgers were ahead 17-14 by halftime but started to bury the Herd after defensive backs Niles Brinkley and Shane Carter intercepted passes on three consecutive Marshall drives.

KYLE BURSAW/THE DAILY CARDINAL

John Clay (32) looks to bowl over a Marshall defender Saturday at Camp Randall. The freshman running back ran for a career-high 56 yards and two touchdowns, often carrying defenders with him as he charged down the ﬁeld. Brinkley returned his first interception 16 yards and, for his second, barely kept his feet inbounds after snagging the ball when it bounced off a Herd receiver’s fingertips. Carter looked like a receiver when he weaved across the field and ran 43 yards after picking off Marshall quarterback Mark Cann’s throw. “Big plays like that give the team a boost of energy,” Brinkley said. “All I wanted to do was give the offense the ball back so they could be in position to score.” And the offense took advantage by scoring after two of the three turnovers, going most of the way through the air. “Everybody thinks we didn’t throw last week because we couldn’t,” Evridge said. “They were shutting some things down, but we got it going after that.” While the Badgers were still behind, Evridge launched a 42yard pass to sophomore receiver Kyle Jefferson, who clutched the ball while between two defenders. That play set up a successful 45-yard field goal against the

wind for freshman place-kicker Philip Welch. Graham caught a 26-yard touchdown pass midway into the third quarter after getting wide open— something he was able to do over and over. “I try to think that I shouldn’t just get tackled by one person ... I like to have a whole gang try to take me down.” John Clay running back UW Football

“He’s got a magical cloak or something,” Evridge said. “He’s just a tremendous athlete, and he makes my job easy—that’s for sure.” Wisconsin’s running game wasn’t shabby either. Hill went for 57 yards, Clay for 56 yards and Brown for 36. Hill and Clay scored two touchdowns each, while Brown got into the end zone once. recap page 7

ANALYSIS By Nate Carey THE DAILY CARDINAL

Last weekend against Akron, the Wisconsin Badgers entered the game intending to run the ball... a lot. And after their 38-17 win, the Badgers looked at the 404 yards they had compiled on the ground. A week later against Marshall, UW decided to showcase its aerial attack, defeating the Thundering Herd 5114 behind 308 passing yards from senior quarterback Allan Evridge. “[The passing game is] always in the game plan,” Evridge said. “Last week we had a pretty extensive throwing package, we just didn’t have to use it with the offensive linemen playing so well. So it’s always there, we just had to utilize it this week.” After giving up two early touchdowns, the Badgers (2-0) went on to score 51 points, all of which were unanswered. That is no easy feat. In fact, it is the first time that Wisconsin has even gone over 50 points in one game since a 52-17 victory over Indiana in

2006, let alone pulled off those 50 points consecutively. “To walk off that field scoring 51 straight points without giving up any makes you want to pack up our bags and head to Fresno and keep playing,” UW head coach Bret Bielema said. The day was a career best for many players, mainly the receivers. Sophomore tight end Lance Kendricks had three catches for 94 yards, both personal bests. Sophomore wide receivers David Gilreath (47 yards) and Maurice Moore (37 yards) also had career highs in receiving yardage. Kendricks had the most impact of all the young receivers. On Wisconsin’s first scoring drive, the Milwaukee native hauled in a 36yard catch down the Badgers’ sideline, propelling Wisconsin back into the game and shocking the team out of its first quarter lull. And considering senior tight end Travis Beckum, one of the best tight ends in the nation, was out with a hamstring injury, Kendricks’ explosion onto the scene couldn’t have come at a better time. “It really felt good. Especially with Travis [Beckum] being out and I had to pick up that big role, it really felt good to be able to go out there and make some big plays,” Kendricks said. “We are a group that likes to pick each other up and help each other out.” “They’ve got some talent,” Marshall head coach Mark Snyder said about the ability of Wisconsin’s tight ends. “Travis [Beckum] didn’t even play today. They did a good job.” But most of the eyes were on Evridge, watching him move the ball down the field, swallowing up huge chunks of yardage on every throw. Evridge had completions of 22, 26, 36 and 42 yards—all to different receivers. His ability to pick apart the Thundering Herd’s secondary, which ultimately forced Marshall to play off of the line of scrimmage, opened up the running game, something the Herd had brought to a grinding halt earlier in the game. analysis page 7

Free kick sets up win over Santa Clara By Scott Kellogg THE DAILY CARDINAL

Wisconsin men’s soccer continued its successful start to the season this weekend by beating Santa Clara 1-0 Friday night and tying Dayton 3-3 Sunday in the Middleton Sports and Fitness Invitational at the McClimon Soccer Complex. The victory over Santa Clara was particularly impressive, as the Broncos entered the contest ranked No. 20 in the nation. It took an overtime goal by junior midﬁelder Taylor Waspi to clinch the win for Wisconsin in the second minute of sudden death. Neither team was able to net a goal in regulation time, sending the game into extra time. Santa Clara began the session with complete control of possession. “I wasn’t too pleased with our start in overtime,” head coach Jeff Rohrman said. “In the ﬁrst minute or two it looked like [Santa Clara] had the better of us.” With the Broncos pushing forward early in overtime, a turnover created

the opportunity for a counterattack. Senior forward Victor Diaz took the ball and made a skillful run downfield, eluding the Santa Clara defense. After making several players miss the ball, it appeared as though Diaz may have had a clear run at the net. But Bronco defender Jalil Anibaba took Diaz down from behind, giving Anibaba a yellow card and Wisconsin a free kick in a dangerous area. The free kick was taken by junior midfielder Pablo Delgado about 15 yards outside the box and angled to the left. Delgado delivered the ball low and hard toward the near post. Santa Clara goalkeeper Kevin Klasila got the shot but was unable to handle the ball cleanly, and Waspi tapped the rebound into the net. Waspi earned the game-winner, but gave credit to Delgado. “[Delgado] hit a perfect ball. He dipped it down so it hit the ground first as we planned,” Waspi said. Rohrman was also pleased with Delgado’s effort. “[Delgado] did a tremendous job of recognizing the field was wet and

he needed to get it on goal and make it difficult for the goalkeeper, and that’s exactly what he did,” Rohrman said. “That’s where the experience comes in. You don’t have to talk to him about what to do. He understands the situation and executes it.” The Badgers were not able to notch their fourth consecutive victory of their young season against the Dayton Flyers, but Wisconsin did keep its undefeated start intact with the tie. Dayton took the lead in the eighth minute with a goal by forward Alex Torda. The Badgers answered quickly with a free-kick goal off the foot of junior forward Scott Lorenz. Dayton reclaimed the lead in the first half with another Torda goal before Wisconsin once again evened the score in the 31st minute courtesy of junior midfielder Brandon Miller. Early in the second, half Delgado scored to give the Badgers a 3-2 advantage, but an own goal given up by Wisconsin six minutes later once again tied the score. After six goals in the first 55 minutes, neither team was able to find the

Rohrman would have liked to see his team sweep the weekend, but knew Dayton was a tough foe. “They’re an older, experienced team, and they’re very good,” Rohrman said. “I could see that team

competing for one of the top spots in the Atlantic 10.” The weekend brought Wisconsin to 3-1-0 on the season after going just 6-7-6 last year. “I’m not surprised [about our start],” Rohrman said. “I know what we have within this group.”
