The recently released lineup for the Revelry Music and Arts Festival has received mixed reactions from students and festival organizers. Revelry is an annual festival at the University of WisconsinMadison run by the Wisconsin Union Directorate that began last spring. This year it will take place May 3 and feature headliners Dillon Francis and Waka Flocka Flame. Some students expressed excitement about this year’s lineup. “I didn’t go last year, but I will definitely go this year,” UW-Madison sophomore Allie

Lusic said. Other students were not as excited. “I don’t really care about it,” Gina Stella, a UW-Madison junior, said. Bess Donoghue, the Revelry Public Relations Manager, said the artists were chosen based on student surveys on musical preference, popularity within certain genres and artist availability. “We think the lineup combines all of the different tastes and genres that people were interested in seeing,” Donoghue said.

Humanities lecture hall closes temporarily due to ceiling leak Use of Room 3650, the main lecture hall in the Mosse Humanities Building, is temporarily suspended for repair due to water leaking from the ceiling Friday. The damage is minor and localized, University Communications spokesperson Jenny Price said following an initial assessment from Facilities, Planning and Management

Physical Plant response crews. The repairs can be completed over the course of several days and may occur as early as this week, according to Price. Melting snow and ice at the rooftop level of the building seeped into the ductwork and insulation resulting in the leak, Price said. At least one exam and one

class lecture were cancelled Friday in Room 3650, which has a seating capacity of 489. Classes have been moved to various other campus locations, including the William H. Sewell Social Sciences Building and Bascom Hall. For up-to-date, class-specific information, consider contacting course instructors.

UW-Madison sophomore Derek Field ‘sifts and winnows’ with new journal By Adelina Yankova THE DAILY CARDINAL

Politics have always been a passion for newly elected Associated Students of Madison student council member Derek Field. Field, a University of Wisconsin-Madison sophomore and Blue Mounds native, majors in economics and political science,

and plans to complete a certificate in Educational Policy studies. In addition to sitting on several student government committees, he cofounded and serves as coeditor-in-chief of the recently established “Sifting and Winnowing: The Undergraduate Journal of Law, Political Science and Public Policy.” Inspiration for the journal

originated from a conversation between Field and cofounder Donya Khadem during which they realized UW-Madison is one of a few schools of its caliber without a publication of this sort. “It would just work as a great platform to heighten the con-

Anti-abortion groups file lawsuit against city’s buffer zone ordinance at health care facilities By Patricia Johnson THE DAILY CARDINAL

Anti-abortion groups filed a lawsuit in federal court against the city of Madison for the approval of a buffer zone ordinance that aims to protect patients’ safety by establishing a restricted area around health care facilities. The ordinance establishes a 160 foot zone around health care facili-

ties where protesters are required to receive consent before coming within eight feet of individuals. Those against the ordinance include groups such as Madison Vigil for Life, Inc., Students for Life of Madison and Badger Catholic, according to City Attorney Michael May. The city has 21 days to respond to the lawsuit since it was filed Feb. 26, according to the court summons.

The plaintiffs’ attorneys said in a memo to the city attorney, the ordinance violates freedom of speech. Since the ordinance applies to any health care facility, this could include university departments that perform controversial experiments including animal testing and genetic food modification, according to the memo. The plaintiffs’ attorneys also said because the ordinance’s language is

too vague, it violates the fair notice requirement of due process. Ald. Lisa Subeck, District 1, said in a Feb. 25 Common Council meeting the ordinance is intended to protect patients, not restrict freedom of speech. “This is aimed at the individuals who, instead of peacefully protesting, choose to harass patients,” Subeck said. In the past, protesters have
