Stalking could lead to acts of sexual violence By Kayla Torgerson THE DAILY CARDINAL

“You don’t know me, but I know you.” Allie, a freshman at UWMadison, listened to her stalker speak to her for the first time. She was a victim of both phone and cyber stalking by an unknown perpetrator. He began by obsessively calling her and sending 28 friend requests on Facebook under different aliases. “Dec. 8 was the first time he called me. He called me five times in a row, and I didn’t answer because it was from a blocked number, and then I finally answered it. [He was] talking to me as if he knew me,” Allie said. According to the UW Police Department, stalking is a course of conduct unwanted by the person to whom it is directed and can include, but is not limited to, sending unwanted cards, gifts or e-mails, calling or texting the vic-

tim, taking photos of the victim and gathering information about the victim’s personal history. Detective Cheryl Radzinski of UWPD said stalking is a felony under Wisconsin statute and can lead to forms of violence like sexual assault and dating violence. According to the National Center for Victims of Crime, one in 12 women is stalked during her lifetime. Of those, 13 percent are women in college. The NCVC said 64 percent of male and 77 percent of female victims know their stalkers. According to Carmen Hotvedt, violence prevention specialist at University Health Services, people are going to greater lengths than ever to stalk people. In extreme cases, perpetrators are able to place GPS trackers in their victims’ phones. “There is a massive upswing in the stalking page 3

More swine ﬂu cases reported, Doyle declares health emergency By Megan Orear THE DAILY CARDINAL

In light of the state’s ﬁrst probable cases of the H1N1 swine ﬂu, Gov. Jim Doyle signed an executive order Thursday declaring a public health emergency in Wisconsin. Doyle announced at a press conference that two more people in Wisconsin have been identified as likely having the swine flu, both young adults. One lives in Sheboygan, and the other is from Ozaukee County. This brings the state’s total number of probable cases to five, which still await confirmation from the Centers

for Disease Control. The severity of these cases is not near the severity of many of the cases in Mexico, Doyle added. According to the CDC, the number of confirmed cases in the United States grew to 109 Thursday and the disease will likely become widespread across the country. Doyle said the public health emergency declaration will allow public health officials to make antiviral medication available to people regardless of their insurance or health-care coverage. swine flu page 3

Weekend, May 1-3, 2009 Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, held a final meeting Thursday night for Mifflin Street residents to allay any last-minute concerns about Saturday’s event. Saturday also marks the 40th annual Mifflin party.

Students show concern over Mifﬂin sponsorship By Anna Bukowski THE DAILY CARDINAL

Although Madison officials believe a sponsorship will contribute to the success of the Mifflin Street Block Party Saturday, some Mifflin Street residents expressed their fears about new regulations at a meeting Thursday night held by Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4. “Once [the city has] control, eventually they’ll start gating off the street and charging. I really just don’t want to see that happen,” UW-Madison student Brian Geick said. Verveer emphasized that Mifflin is not Freakfest and there will be no gates and no admission fees. The sponsorship between WSUM and DCNY PRO will provide the event with disc jockeys from 12 to 7 p.m., food vendors and more restrooms. Food vendors will include Insomnia Cookies,

Papa John’s Pizza and D.P. Dough. However, many Mifﬂin residents were concerned about parties potentially getting out of hand. “I have no idea how to enforce random people [coming to my house],” UW-Madison student Neil Kleman said. To combat this common issue, the Madison Police Department will have officers on duty throughout the day. “If houses become uncontrollable, the MPD will shut your party down for you. It’s a free pass,” MPD Sgt. Tony Fiore said. Residents can also call a nonemergency number to have unwanted guests removed. Fiore said the police would rather “educate than enforce.” Madison Fire Department Division Chief Ronald Schwenn encouraged partygoers to have fun,

but urged students to go home safe at the end of the day. Schwenn’s biggest concern, however, was overcrowding. He said overcrowded porches could easily collapse, especially those that are not structurally sound. The fire department will have inspectors on duty to monitor potential hazards such as grills, balconies, open flames and overcrowding. City officials also stressed the importance of the three main block party rules: no public urination, no glass bottles and no open containers from sidewalk to sidewalk. According to Verveer, arrests will follow different procedures than in years past. There will be on-site processing units for arrested persons, and police urge residents to be as cooperative as possible. “If you cooperate, it will pay dividends,” Verveer said.

Passenger rail proposals face roadblock in budget committee By Ryan Hebel THE DAILY CARDINAL

LORENZO ZEMELLA/THE DAILY CARDINAL

Gov. Jim Doyle holds a press conference at the Capitol Thursday to give updates on the H1N1 ﬂu, which now has ﬁve probable cases in the state.

After Democrats could not reach a consensus Thursday on the regional transit proposals in Gov. Jim Doyle’s budget, the future of high-speed passenger rail may be uncertain in Wisconsin. However, the Joint Finance Committee did manage to reach an agreement on the state’s film tax incentives program and voted unanimously to restore the film tax incentives that Doyle eliminated in his budget proposal. The committee was scheduled to vote on the creation of regional transit authorities with the power to create new rail systems, but disagreement among Democratic members over the

RTAs stalled the session until late in the night. “There’s a variety of [obstacles], and I think that’s why they’ve been working so hard all day long … and maybe all night,” Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk said. The proposal would set up high-speed rail systems throughout the state, connecting Wisconsin cities such as Madison and Milwaukee, the two most prominent systems on the state’s agenda. Falk said the RTA systems would help boost the economy by “getting people back to work and moving goods and people around the state.” At the same time, Falk recognized the issue

of cost is keeping lawmakers up at night. Currently, the proposal calls for a 0.5 percentage point increase in the Dane County sales tax and would cost the average household $172, according to Legislative Fiscal Bureau estimates. In Milwaukee, residents have already approved a full one percentage point sales tax increase that would fund RTA and other city programs, according to state Sen. Dave Hansen, D-Green Bay, a member of the JFC. However, Hansen said he isn’t sure the plan would work statewide. “I have qualms because … I think it’s always difficult to vote rail 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.”

ome poet probably once said “to every season, a song,” and right now you can almost hear Vitamin C’s “Graduation” fading into the soundtrack of our lives. It’s hard to savor schooling when you’re in the thick of finals preparation, all aflutter “finishing” term papers and tracking down lecture notes from lame-os, but for those who will have filled out their last blue book by the 15th, there’s a feeling that we should somehow stop and bask in the moment. A lot of stuff has gone down around here in four years, and so to recount it all I wrote a song of my own, to the tune of Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire”: “Said goodbye to Mom and Dad, entire floor goes to Mad Ave, hurricane in New Orleans, Badgers beat the Wolverines. Sneak into the Nit-ty, dorm food tasting shit-ty, Barrett’s 9-11 plot, student jumps off parking lot. “Find a major if you can, football starts to suck again. No

Parties up in College Court, Halloween gets stopped short, I-35 bridge drop, Mifflin loses co-op. “We couldn’t find the lighter, we knew we just had it, but it’s not on the mattress! “We couldn’t find the lighter, but we shouldn’t have worried, ’cause it was already cherried! “Ogg goes down piece by piece, Lucky rises in Southeast.

with only 300 of the 8,000 or so in our class (and even if we’re actually friends with only 30 of those), we’ve all been through a lot together, and that doesn’t even include the important stuff, the personal stuff each of us went through. So it’d be nice to take some time to look back and recollect all that has happened to get us where we are today. But that’s not going to happen, because tomorrow is Mifflin, the greatest day of the year, Sunday will be spent recovering, and Monday through Saturday will be spent either scrambling to get your shit together or scrambling to hit every spot on your epic week-long bar crawl, depending on how seriously you take your senior slide. Come next Sunday, our society is atomized into finals mode for a week, and then before you know it you’re just a broke bum with problem drinking habits and a liberal arts degree thrust into a world filled with skill sets and swine flu. For those lucky enough to survive the latter, the only chance we’ll have to look back on our college careers will be when we’re so old the thought of them depresses the hell out of us. I don’t know if I’ll still be on

Facebook at that point, but I know it’s going to be pretty hard to pry myself away from it. If I haven’t, it will be a strange thing indeed to one day page through all the photos I’ve been tagged in over the years and literally see myself age. Maybe that can be my motivation to leave it. Luckily, I’m not graduating this spring, because I already did, so I can take all the time I want at my sexy government job reminiscing and writing rhyming couplets about college as I type up TPS reports. For those of you about to be on the outside, the best advice I can give you is to stop reading newspapers, buy some sharp-looking clothes if you can and act way too cool whenever Asher Roth comes on. As we’ve grown, we’ve always had to revise what age we thought people got old at. When I was little, college was old. Ñow that I’m almost out of it, you little freshmen seem so young. Shit’s weird. This is my last column in the Cardinal. I thank all of you who bothered to read these, in class or online, it’s been cool. Want to talk to David about all of this weird shit going on as he graduates?

sex and the student body

deﬁning sexual health in your life By Erica Andrist SEX COLUMNIST

Last week was Sexual Health Week. You may have gotten the email (which was not, just so everyone is perfectly clear, soliciting anyone for sex or trying to sell anyone “pornagraphy”). Thursday was Sexual Health Fest on Library Mall, and while we were setting up the tables, I looked at my Sex Out Loud coworkers, smiled a huge smile, and exclaimed (at typical Erica volume), “I LOVE MY JOB!” My job is to help “promote healthy sexuality through sex-positive education and activism.” I know this material so well I could recite it in my sleep. But sometimes, even though I am steeped in sex and sexuality and sexual health all the time, I forget exactly what “healthy sexuality” really is, and why I love this work so much.

I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve used geometry since high school—as for masturbation, I’d deﬁnitely need two hands.

For the record

WEEKEND: partly sunny hi 63º / lo 40º

So for my final column of the year (don’t worry, I’ll be back), I’ll pause to reflect on what Sex Out Loud’s mission means to me: What is “healthy sexuality,” and why is it important? Some of you may cry, “Basic!” But the thing is, it’s not. Healthy sexuality is a lifelong process which requires work, and not a single one of us has got it down pat. Healthy sexuality is informed. Few things we do are as powerful as fucking. As our keynote speaker Tristan Taormino explained last Friday, sex allows us to learn, teach, give, receive, fulfill, laugh, cry, open, close, love, lust, demonstrate, subvert, choose, connect,

lie, share, explore, create, stop. People really argue all that stuff is “not that important”? We’re supposed to “just know” how to do all of it, or we’re supposed to learn all that from movies and high school health class? I’ll tell you one thing, I agree with the people who deem it outrageous that student seg fee dollars fund Sex Out Loud; we should not have to pay for this info. This information should be given to us freely, openly, readily and frequently. My high school taught me geometry in an effort to prepare me for “the real world.” It didn’t teach me a thing about masturbation. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve used geometry since high school—as for masturbation, I’d definitely need two hands. Healthy sexuality is consensual. “Choice” has already come up a number of times in this column, and sexual activity should always be a choice. Consent in the traditional sense—a freely-given “yes”—is of course a necessary component of healthy sexuality, but we must also give others the freedom to consent in their sexual choices. Recognizing our different preferences and choices sounds so easy; “I’m a tolerant person!” we say. But I don’t like this idea of tolerance, “to endure, put up with, sustain.” Tolerance can be a beautiful thing, but with it is the inherent implication that what we tolerate is somehow negative or undesirable. Different bodies, different choices, different boundaries, different likes, different sexualities are not something to be tolerated—they are something to be celebrated. Healthy sexuality is safe. We can practice safer sex, with barrier methods, STI testing and/or contraception. When we have sex, we deserve to feel

safe in our surroundings and with our partners. We deserve a space in which we can express our authentic needs and desires to our partners without fear. We must respect the boundaries of others (consent), but we must also feel safe and able to enforce our own. We deserve to express our identities and our choices without castigation. If we do not have these things, we deserve access to resources that can help us obtain them. Different bodies, different choices, different boundaries, different likes, different sexualities are not something to be tolerated—they are something to be celebrated. Finally, as I mentioned earlier, healthy sexuality is a process. This means not taking what I have to say at face value. It means taking what I have to say and ripping it apart, keeping the bits you like and casting away the ones you don’t. It means reading more Tristan Taormino, Carol Queen, Pat Califia, Violet Blue, Susie Bright, Betty Dodson, Dan Savage, Joani Blank, Leslie Feinberg and the thousand authors and thinkers whose names I haven’t listed. It means jacking off a lot. It means exploring. It means waiting. It means choosing. It means respecting. It means using our information to build our own definitions of what healthy sexuality looks like, and using that definition as a foundation on which to base, seek and validate our own sexual experiences. In other words, it means whatever you want it to mean. Go forth and redefine.

University Book Store contributes to Martin’s new tuition initiative By Erin Banco THE DAILY CARDINAL

UW-Madison ofﬁcials announced a $25,000 donation from the University Book Store to help support need-based ﬁnancial aid as part of the Madison Initiative for Undergraduates Thursday. The donation marks the second gift from the University Book Store Board of Trustees Great People Scholarship. “[We recognized] the importance of need-based aid in line with the chancellor’s initiative, as well as in support of the Faculty Senate’s scholarship goal,” Patrick McGowan, president of the University Book Store board of trustees, said. Chancellor Biddy Martin announced the Madison Initiative for Undergraduates in March.

Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz agreed RTAs are more appealing to some counties but said he is “60 percent sure” the provision would pass in Madison. Cieslewicz said he supports the proposal for Dane County, particularly to fix Madison’s ailing Metro Bus system. “I’m hopeful that an RTA might make it possible for us to go a very long time without having to raise the fares, so that’s important,”

According to Doyle, Wisconsin has a system of response to inﬂuenza that is one of the best in the country. “The United States Department of Health and Human Services recently ranked Wisconsin among the best-prepared states in the nation when it comes to dealing with pandemic flu. And all

Although it will raise tuition for students, the plan will also generate at least $20 million in additional need-based financial aid—half of which will come from private funding through the UW Foundation. According to McGowan, the bookstore donates money to scholarship funds every year. “In 2007, we gave $20,000 to a new Badger scholarship through the College of Letters and Science,” he said. “Every year for many years we give some money.” McGowan said the funds donated to the university came from the business’ operating budget. “We have a choice at the end of the year where if we make money, the money can sit in the equity to the bookstore, or it can be distributCieslewicz said, adding an RTA would simplify matters by also allowing the city to reach parts of the county, like Monona, currently ignored by the Madison Metro for contractual reasons. Others in favor of the proposal argue RTAs would open Wisconsin up to more of the Obama administration’s proposed stimulus package for transportation, which could reach $500 billion, according to a statement by Ed Huck, executive director of the Wisconsin Alliance of Cities. As of press time, the proposal was still stalled in its tracks. of those preparations are going to be needed for us right now,” Doyle said. Doyle said there are a number of factors that have caused alerts to be raised about this particular virus, including that there is no vaccine available, that the virus mixes animal and human components and that several cases in Mexico have turned out to be fatal. State Health Officer Dr. Seth Foldy said it is reassuring that out of 121 of the “most suspicious” situations in the state, only five tested as probable swine flu cases. “Most of the tests that we’re sending are coming back still very reassuring,” Foldy said.

ed to scholarships, which the board wanted to do this year,” he said. According to a statement released by the university, the bookstore’s gifts over the last two years total $85,000. UW Foundation will match the funds. According to Chris DuPre of UW Foundation, the UW Credit Union also contributed funds to help with need-based ﬁnancial aid. “From October to the end of last year they made a $215 million direct gift and then matched gifts that came in through their members,” he said.

stalking from page 1 use of technology,” Hotvedt said. Phone stalking is one of the most common modes of stalking; over 60 percent of stalkers make unwanted phone calls to their victims, according to the NCVC. However, with the accessibility of the Internet today, cyber stalking is becoming increasingly prevalent. Despite technological advances, Hotvedt said physical means of stalking still occur. “[I had] no idea how he got my number … All [he said] was ‘I am smart, I am smart.’ He said he knew my schedule and knew where I lived,” Allie said. She also said she was afraid to talk to him while walking home late at night. According to Hotvedt, sometimes students are unsure what to call the fear they experience because it is difficult to determine where a harmless crush ends and stalking and obsession begin. “You can have a crazy crush that is not … threatening,” Hotvedt said. “It is not illegal to send flowers, it is not illegal to post on someone’s Facebook wall or garner information about them, but it becomes illegal when it is not wanted and when it is used as a way to kind of monitor someone else’s body or their behavior and causes us fear.” UWPD recommends victims make it clear to the stalker that their actions are unwelcome, avoid all contact with the stalker, document incidents of stalking and keep personal information private. Radzinski said sometimes a victim will communicate with the perpetrator unintentionally.

She said even a small amount of communication is seen as a form of attention and rather than convincing a stalker to stop, it encourages them to continue.

“I just didn’t think about how dangerous it could be.”

“I didn’t think he would continue to pursue me after I made it obvious that I didn’t want to talk to him, but he continued to call me, and I just didn’t think about how dangerous it could be,” Allie said. Like instances of sexual assault, Radzinski said stalking is an underreported crime because victims often know the perpetrator.

Free Comic Book Day a super opportunity Saturday’s event gives hardcore fans and casual readers alike a day to celebrate their hobbies By Anthony Cefali THE DAILY CARDINAL

With the dust finally settling from Record Store Day, independent comic book stores across the nation are stocking their shelves with free comic books. That’s because this Saturday is Free Comic Book Day, and, as the name implies, independent comic book stores will be handing out free comics. Free Comic Book Day is a celebration of all things comics, a day to let go of inhibitions and just be a kid. It began in 2002 for a multitude of reasons. Like Record Store Day and the promotion of independent record stores, Free Comic Book Day promotes independent comic book stores.

The goal is to bring attention back to the medium of comic books, one that has certainly seen its ups and downs. Unfortunately, not everyone celebrates Free Comic Book Day. This Saturday, you will not be able to find free comics at chain bookstores or at the spinner rack at Woodman’s—you have to dig a little bit deeper to take part in the experience. Cap City Comics (1910 Monroe St.), Wisconsin’s oldest comic book store, began selling back-issues in 1971. The store will be handing out free comic books as well as holding a book signing, hoping to attract new readers and keep connections with the regular crowd.

Cap City Comics owner Bruce Ayres was getting ready for Free Comic Book Day on Wednesday, an already busy day in the comic book world.

Free Comic Book Day is a day to share experiences and perhaps even start new traditions.

“We think of Free Comic Book Day more as a goodwill thing,” Ayres said. “Hopefully, our customers will come in to the store, become turned on to comics, and find something new. We really hope we can turn someone on to comics, but that isn’t always the case.” In the comic book world, every Wednesday is a holiday. Wednesdays are the days when new comics are released. They become days of joy, relief and sometimes pain as the latest issues hit the shelves, and independent comic stores like Cap City Comics pride themselves on their connection with their customers. This is what separates an independent comic book store from a Borders. The stores are places to discuss comics and to keep up with the overwhelming amount of new material being produced. The intricately linked Marvel Universe has more than 30 different series running at any given time. The series often coincide with one another, and that doesn’t factor in crossovers or zombie spin-offs. The big comic book companies, Marvel and DC Comics, take Free Comic Book Day as a day to release previews of

upcoming series. Marvel will be releasing an Avengers comic, and it will most likely be a sort of prequel for the series that will follow. DC Comics is debuting its first-ever all-new title for Free Comic Book Day, “Blackest Night.” Other pleasant surprises are the return of Archie, a Star Wars: Clone Wars preview and a special William Shatner Presents comic. Elsewhere on campus there are some comic bookthemed events occurring. These cater more towards the history of comic books as an art form. The Chazen will be opening the exhibit Underground Classics: The Transformation of Comics into Comix (open until July 12th), which will explore the other side of comics—the side without all the men in tights. Patrick Rosenkranz, filmmaker and the author of “Rebel Visions: The Underground Comix Revolution 19631975,” will be speaking at the Cinematheque Saturday evening but only after signing his books at Cap City Comics in the afternoon. The exhibit at the Chazen deals extenwith sively R o s e n k r a n z’s on research u n d e r g ro u n d comix. C o m i c books are an integral part of American culture, as the

medium originated here and spread throughout the world. Today, Hollywood has a large influence on the public’s perception of comic books, pumping out film adaptations of popular comics faster than the DC series 52. “It’s so sad to think that of all the people who have watched the Batman movies, only a small fraction have read the comic books,” Ayres commented, on the boom in celluloid remakes of comic book classics. Film adaptations do spur some interest in comic books, but not normally in well-established characters such as Batman or Spider-Man.

The goal is to bring attention back to the medium of comic books, one that has certainly seen its ups and downs.

All Hollywood distractions aside, more than anything Free Comic Book Day is a day to share experiences and perhaps even start new traditions. It is a day to try something new and learn about something that has always been around, but you just haven’t had time to digest. Saturday is the day to actually go out and pick up that Batman comic.

McQueen’s new ﬁlm ‘Hunger’ makes viewers lose appetite By Danny Gottleib THE DAILY CARDINAL

Nothing about “Hunger” is easy to watch. The move is unforgiving, brutal and frustrating. It contains very little dialogue, and many scenes will make you want to avert your eyes. But don’t look

away. It’s worth it. The film, written and directed by feature film newcomer Steve McQueen (no relation to that Steve McQueen) and based on a true story, takes you to Maze Prison in Northern Ireland, 1981, where Bobby Sands (Michael

Fassbender) leads a hunger strike that leaves him withered and dead at the age of 27. The movie opens with a prison guard (excellently played by Stuart Graham) washing his bruised knuckles, kissing his wife goodbye, checking under his car for a

bomb and driving to work. From there, it’s—forgive the pun—take no prisoners. The men in jail have nothing left to protest with other than their bodies, and they do so in graphic ways—smearing shit on the walls, funneling piss out of their cells to flood the halls and even living naked. The guards, on the other hand, attempt to break the resisting bodies through regular beatings (hence the bruised knuckles). Surprisingly, there are no completely bad guys.

For a movie about political prisoners, “Hunger” is surprisingly un-political.

“Hunger” presents a gruesome and gory depiction of prison life that is hard to watch but worth the struggle, as it is based on a true story from Steve McQueen, who wrote and directed the ﬁlm.

Sands and the rest of the prisoners are not glorified, as some reviewers have claimed, nor are the prison guards demonized. The look on Graham’s face as he stands guard says it all, as does the emotion of the other prison guard, who ducks away from one prisoner-abuse session to quietly cry to himself. For most of the movie, in

fact, words are not needed. The way McQueen works the camera—focusing on crumbs falling on a man’s lap, or on a fly walking across a windowpane, for exam-

The ﬁlm focuses completely on what makes us human, and why humans do what they do to each other.

ple—tells the story beautifully. When dialogue does ﬁnally enter the picture, it is in the form of a nearly ten-minute debate between Sands and a priest, Father Dominic Moran (Liam Cunningham), that juggles subjects such as politics and humanity superbly. Other than that, the movie is simply a collection of haunting images, like moving paintings. For a movie about political prisoners, “Hunger” is surprisingly un-political. The film focuses completely on what makes us human and why humans do what they do to each other. It will disgust you and move you, and it deserves to be listed among the best films of 2008.

Letter to the Editor: False rape article vague in deﬁnition of ‘false’ PAV E ( Pro m o t i n g Aw a r e n e s s , Victim Empowerment) was saddened by the editorial titled “Don’t Forget Victims of False Rape Accusations” by Pierce Harlan and E. Steven Berkimer that appeared in the Daily Cardinal on April 30. The remarks in this article were very harmful to our campus community. Rape is the most underreported crime. The Bureau of Justice statistics show that 60 percent of sexual assaults are not reported, and a national victimization study found that only 5 percent of college women reported to campus law enforcement. Many victims may be reluctant to come forward to report their rapes because they fear they will not be supported. Unfortunately, negative experiences with the criminal justice system has created an atmosphere of mistrust for many victims of sexual violence. They have heard that the criminal justice system have not trusted the stories of other victims, doubted the strength of their “evidence” or questioned whether they could have somehow reduced their risk of being victimized. However, all sexual assaults that occur are real; whether they were reported to police does not affect their validity. One of the most important ideas to understand when calling a victim’s story into question is the distinction between false and unfounded reports of

rape. Throughout yesterday’s article, the word “false” is used to describe all cases in which a victim’s story was not upheld. We believe that a false report is one in which the accuser did not tell the truth about the particular incident that they are reporting. In contrast, an unfounded report is one in which there was not enough evidence for a criminal investigation, for a case to develop, and/or when the perpetrator is not prosecuted. Although many rapes may never go to trial, it does not mean they did not happen.

The many misdemeanors of Mifﬂin

Every year, police hand out arrests and citations for the exact same things. See if you can escape Mifflin without a sizable chunk of your wallet missing—the following are the most common Mifflin violations.

By Dave Heller

No, the rules of bundling do not apply. These are three major violations the police are keeping an eye out for. Underage drinking is selfexplanatory, but the open container and glass rules might not be. If you are drinking, you may not step foot onto the street with an open alcohol container in your possession, plain and simple. One more thing—you cannot have a glass container, so don’t even think about it. Noise Violation

Many victims may be reluctant to come forward to report their rapes because they fear they will not be supported.

PAVE respects the right to express a wide variety of opinions. However, when our campus is focusing on believing victims and supporting those who have been hurt, it’s important to remember that the facts are clear: False reporting does not happen frequently, and claims to the contrary do not create a campus environment safe for victims to report their experiences. —Katie Simons PAVE Media Advocate Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment

Just because the event is sponsored doesn’t mean you can blare music from your windows. If the police can hear noise from your establishment more than three doors down, you will get a costly citation. So keep the noise down and your piggy bank full, because the police take no greater pride than ruining your fun, and though having noise violations on Mifflin makes absolutely no sense, it’s a rule nonetheless. Public Urination Depositing human waste in public view is always a bad choice, especially on Mifﬂin due to the probing eyes of the police. If you feel the urge to purge, go inside. Every year, participants are arrested for mindlessly evacuating their bladder, so use your brain and save some cash. One more thing—if you see a cop about to ticket a peeing partner, let it happen. Obstruction of justice is not a fun ticket to have either.

Men’s Rowing

Badgers shoot for two cups in Blue Lake this weekend By Daniel Lyman THE DAILY CARDINAL

The top-ranked Wisconsin men’s rowing team will be in Blue Lake, Ill., this Saturday to compete for the Cochrane and Jablonic Cups against a trio of East Coast opponents. The meet, to be held in the Cal-Sag Channel on the Calumet River, will be the last opportunity for the men to race before the conference and

national championships. The team will race against the boats from MIT, ranked No. 13 in the country, and 18th-ranked Dartmouth College in the morning session for the Cochrane Cup. In the afternoon, the crews will be back on the water, where the Badgers will again face MIT, along with No. 10 Boston University, for the right to take home the Jablonic Cup. The ascension to the No. 1 rank-

track from page 8 ARKANSAS TWILIGHT The sprinters from both the men’s and women’s teams will be traveling down South to compete in the Arkansas Twilight at the University of Arkansas. Standout sophomore hurdler Nate Larkin will be running in the men’s 110-meter hurdles. The other two runners, who many believe to compete along with Larkin for ﬁrst, are Ryan Braithwaite from Barton CC and Kansas’ speedster Julius Jiles. Sophomores Chas DeMers and Kyle Jefferson will be running in

rugby from page 8 against Miami (Ohio). The 1992 team was unable to win in either of its Final Four games, so this weekend gives this year’s team the chance to be the most successful since the club’s creation. The Badgers hope to build off the excitement from the win over

baseball from page 8 more than 20 games in a season. Perhaps some people think Rodriguez’s biggest mistake was the act of taking performance-enhancing drugs. But in reality, I think this isn’t the most important issue. Rodriguez admitted to using banned substances from 2001 to 2003, and at the time, drug testing was hardly enforced and did not expose the player or provide punishment. So the blame there should be placed not on Rodriguez, but on the league for failing to make drug testing a bigger priority. However, Rodriguez should still be held fully accountable for his poor character, which has been exposed over the last few years. In 2007, ARod denied ever using performanceenhancing drugs in an interview with CBS. Even recently, in an interview with ESPN shortly after the report of his failed test, he lied about not knowing what kind of steroid he used. And lastly, he lied when he claimed that the reporter who broke the story of his failed drug test also tried to break into his home in Miami. Records and Hall of Fame inductions are most gloriﬁed when held by elite players who not only establish

the men’s 200-meter dash, which is considered to be one of the toughest events of the meet. The men’s 4x100 relay team will try to close out the meet with a victory. Head coach Ed Nuttycombe believes the relay team will probably be able to make the trip back to Madison for the Wisconsin Open. “We are entered, and we are going to see how they fair in the Arkansas trip,” Nuttycombe said. “We are hoping they can because we need races.” One of the biggest races for the women will be 100-meter hurdles, which feature sophomore Egle Salisbury and continue rolling all the way to the championship. “The win gave us our swagger and the conﬁdence to know we could beat anyone, but we never look past our next opponent,” said Glauser. “At this point, every match is the match of our lives, and it’s one loss and we’re done.” themselves through their play, but also conduct themselves in an honest and civilized manner. This cannot be said for A-Rod, but Pujols’ charity work has certainly backed up his reputation as a morally sound individual. Last year, Pujols won the Roberto Clemente Award, given to the player who “best exempliﬁes the game of baseball, sportsmanship, community involvement and the individual’s contribution to his team.” Inspired by his 10-year-old daughter’s struggle with Down syndrome, Albert started the Pujols Family Foundation in 2005. The organization has helped improve the lives of more than 500 families affected by Down syndrome around St. Louis. Although this work doesn’t guarantee that Pujols is clean, it certainly shows a commitment to the importance of good character. Rodriguez cannot take back his steroid use or lies that disappointed fans everywhere. Even if he breaks the record, it will once again be tainted by deceit and controversy. One can only hope that Pujols has not already taken the same route and is actually as upstanding as he appears to be. Who do you think is the biggest contender for breaking Bonds’ home run record?

ing in the country has been a result of consistent victories for the ﬁrst varsity boat from Madison. At their last meet, the Stanford Invitational, the team swept the competition from Washington, Oregon State and Stanford, all of which were Top-15 teams in the country. The Badgers ﬁnished less than a half-a-second in front of the tournament’s host, No. 5 Stanford, to win the event. Being from Wisconsin, the team is put at an annual disadvantage. Teams from other parts of the country train in ideal conditions throughout the spring; frigid and stormy weather can hover in Madison well into April, reducing the amount of time the team spends on the water and making the team’s No. 1 ranking all the more impressive. The dismal weather conditions were no more evident than on April 11, when the team had to delay its meet against Michigan. The rain and wind made Lake Mendota impossible to race on for a good portion of the morning. Men’s rowing head coach Chris Clark spoke about the weather conditions in the upper Midwest and

said the time when the team is really able to log its best training is in the month of May. The weather should have no effect on the races this weekend, and the team is looking forward to continuing its successful season against solid competition. Paul Williams is a member of the Badgers’ varsity boat and is looking forward to facing competition with their conference, the EARC. “It’s a good chance to see those opponents [MIT, Dartmouth, BU] before conference championships and try to race well against them,” Williams said. Clark also was looking forward to racing against three fellow conference schools, including a MIT program that is having one of their best seasons in recent memory. “They are beating teams that they haven’t beaten in not just years, but decades,” Clark said about MIT. Although looking forward to the competition, both Williams and Clark were most focused on having another opportunity to race and execute their own game plan in the ﬁnal meet before championship season begins.

“Any competitive race in a race situation is helpful. Generally, you feel better about it when you win, that’s for sure,” Clark said. “But it’s always helpful, and one nice thing about the format we have on Saturday is it’s two races, and that’s the way it’s going to be at Eastern Sprints a week later, so for all the teams involved, it’s helpful.” “We have a limited number of races per year, and so for each one we want to execute better than the race before. With any race, you just want to do well and execute for your own speed regardless of the opponent,” said Williams. “There’s a couple strategy things you can do depending on what you know about the crew, but the general attitude that we have is to race our own race and hope for the best.” The team’s solid performances thus far have led them to a No. 1 ranking, and if they continue to improve every weekend, they won’t have to hope for the best, they will expect it.

Staisiunaite and freshman Jessica Flax, both of whom are seeded in the top ten for the event. Three Badger women will be competing in the 200-meter dash. Wisconsin women’s track also looks to place high in the 400-meter dash with entries of senior Amanda Donath and sophomore Akaila Cabell. Senior Jamie Klages is a favorite to win the women’s high jump after being seeded ﬁrst with a jump of 1.80 meters. Furthermore, UW senior Chavon Robinson looks to beat the triple jump favorite, Kansas senior Crystal Manning.

WISCONSIN OPEN The Badgers will host the Wisconsin Open, which will be a much smaller meet than the two others this weekend. The meet will feature local schools in the Wisconsin area. Three of the four winners from the winning shuttle hurdle relay team at the Drake Relays will be competing in the open. Adam Hexum, Temi Ogunbodede and Seth Pelock will also compete at this meet. Despite having only two entries in the Drake Relays this past weekend, the women’s track team still managed to place in the top 15 in

both the women’s university hammer and javelin. Senior Johanne Verpil placed 15th in the women’s hammer while Amy Lewis had a stellar performance, placing seventh in javelin. The Badgers look to do the same at home this weekend. “As far as the throwers go in Drake, it was a great meet for them not just performance-wise, but to see where they are on a bigger stage,” Stinzi said. Stinzi looks at the Wisconsin Open as a way for the throwers to get reps in and prepare for the Big Ten Championships, which are only two weeks away.

Pujols raises the bar in MLB

Club Sport Spotlight: Rugby

UW competes for national title By Nick Schmitt THE DAILY CARDINAL

MATT FOX the fox hole

Sports Illustrated report from earlier this week announced that Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez could return to his team sometime during the ﬁrst week of May. This is just the latest development in a tumultuous offseason for Rodriguez, who admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs last February and, just weeks later, underwent surgery for torn cartilage in his right hip. Without a doubt, Rodriguez’s return will receive plenty of attention given his damaged reputation and the Yankees’ slow start. Before this offseason, Rodriguez seemed like the obvious candidate to break Barry Bonds’ all-time home run record in legitimate fashion, something that the sport desperately needs to help ease the pain of a dark steroids era, but with one report and confession, that possibility was quickly put to rest. Many fans—not just of the Yankees, but baseball fans in general—were devastated by the news. Instead of living in the past, the baseball world should put its concentration towards a new hope: The rising career of St. Louis Cardinals ﬁrst baseman Albert Pujols. Pujols’ start to his eight-plusyear career has been one of the most impressive in baseball history. From the get-go, he has been nothing short of spectacular. Pujols was named National League Rookie of the Year in 2001, when he hit .329 with 37 home runs and 130 RBIs. At just 29 years of age, he’s already had seven all-star appearances and won two MVP awards, plus a World Series title in 2006. So far, Pujols has been the model of consistency—he’s the only player in baseball history to start a career with eight consecutive seasons with at least a .300 batting average, 30 home runs and 100 RBIs. His averages during this time are astounding—a .334 batting average with 40 home runs and 122 RBIs. As of last Wednesday, Pujols was off to another blazing start this season, among the National League’s leaders, with a .326 batting average, seven home runs and 26 RBIs. It’s far down the road, but if Pujols is able to maintain a pace relatively close to this and stay healthy, then he could be a serious contender for the record. It should be noted that, despite a recent surgery, Pujols has still never missed baseball page 7

The Wisconsin rugby team will be challenging Miami (Ohio) Friday in hopes of advancing to the Division II National Championship game.

For the ﬁrst time since 1992, the Wisconsin Rugby Football Club is heading to the Division II National Championships. This weekend, the team, which has recently established itself as a rugby powerhouse in the Midwest, travels to Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., to battle Miami (Ohio), Middlebury and Georgetown for the title. The Badgers went into this spring with high expectations, and proved to be much better than their regular season opponents. Their closest match was a 48-5 win against UW-Milwaukee. The team has outscored its opponents 195-13 overall. Heading into postseason play, the only question was if they could compete with the top tier teams. Wisconsin answered its own question two weeks ago when the Badgers, a 16 seed in the USA Rugby Collegiate Sweet Sixteen, stunned the No. 1 seed Salisbury, 19-17. Down late in the match, it took a last second try by Garret Donath to help the Badgers sneak by. The next day, the Badgers defeated Arizona State 42-22 to punch their ticket to Rugby’s Final Four. Although they won in Cinderella fashion, the Badgers don’t see themselves as underdogs. “We train as a team so well, and

there’s such good chemistry on our team that we might seem like underdogs. No one really expects us,” said player and club president Quentin Reuter. “When you look at us, we’re not just huge, giant athletes, but, basically, we try to use our talent a little bit more so than other teams and that’s what helps us win.” Cinderella story or not, this is the biggest weekend for the Wisconsin Rugby Football Club since their 1992 appearance in the Final Four. The team will play two matches—its ﬁrst semiﬁnal game is Friday at 2:30 p.m. Miami (Ohio) is a familiar opponent for the Badgers. Last fall the Red Hawks stole the top spot in the Midwest from the Badgers, and this weekend the team is excited for their chance at revenge. “Playing in the [Final Four] is a great honor, and we know we can certainly compete against these clubs,” said UW rugby player Lee Glauser. “This also gives us a chance to redeem ourselves against Miami and reclaim the number one spot in the Midwest region. We’re all very excited and realize that this very well could be a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity.” The Badgers also play a second game, whether it is in the national championship game or the third place game, depending on how they fare rugby page 7

Wisconsin prepares for multiple weekend events By Eric Josephs THE DAILY CARDINAL

Badger track and ﬁeld will be all over the country this Saturday. A big weekend awaits the Wisconsin men’s and women’s track and ﬁeld teams as distance runners travel to the Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational in Palo Alto, California while the sprinters head down South to compete in the Arkansas Twilight. The rest of the squads will stay in Madison for the Wisconsin Open. Although the Arkansas Twilight and the Wisconsin Open will attract many fans and competitors, the Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational seems to be the one to watch. The meet features some of the best distance in runners in the entire country. PAYTON JORDAN CARDINAL INVITATIONAL Eight distance runners from the Badger men’s track team will be competing in the prestigious Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational, which takes place Saturday at Stanford University. Wisconsin men’s track is coming off an impressive performance in the Drake Relays after winning the 4x800 relay last weekend and setting the second fastest outdoor 4x800 time in the world this year. All members from the winning relay team will be competing

individually in Palo Alto. Men’s head coach Ed Nuttycombe believes the Drake relays prepared them for the tough competition in Stanford this weekend. “It was good for their development.,” Nuttycombe said. “They are also looking forward to the very good competition at Stanford.” This weekend is the most important of the season for the Badgers. Not only are they competing in three different meets, but they are preparing for the Big Ten Championships. Nuttycombe believes the Cardinal Invitational will prepare his distance runners.

“Certain athletes need that highlevel competition that these special meets provide. The Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitation provides that,” Nuttycombe said. UW middle-distance runners sophomore Zack Beth and senior Steve Ludwig will be running in the men’s 800 meters. Additionally, junior Ryan Gasper looks to rebound in the 1,500 meters after losing the lead with 150 meters to go in Des Moines this past weekend. Gasper will also compete in the men’s 3,000 meters. On the women’s side, the Badgers look for senior Gwen Jorgensen to

close in on another milestone in her career. Jorgensen hasn’t run in a 5,000 meter race this year, but women’s head coach Jim Stintzi looks for her to qualify for the NCAA regionals. “Obviously, competition is extremely good out there,” Stintzi said. “We are looking for our runners to improve their times and use this meet to get ready for the Big Ten Championships. Or, in Gwen’s situation, she hasn’t run a 5,000 race. Hopefully, she’ll qualify for the NCAA regional after this weekend.” track page 7
