UW-Madison behind in wheelchair access Story by Scott Girard Tyler Engel transferred to UW-Madison for its engineering program, but he faced more challenges than the average transfer student. Engel, a wheelchair-bound fifth-year senior who suffers from spinal muscular atrophy, had to deal with accessibility issues he rarely faced at UW-Whitewater. Engel is constantly confronted with buildings with only one handicapped-accessible entrance, bathroom stalls that are too small and doors without handicapped buttons, which Engel cannot open because his hands lack the strength. “It’s an old campus, it’s a huge campus and it’s definitely hard to do what Whitewater does because their campus is a block,” Engel said. He said the Whitewater campus has a better reputation when it comes to accessibility for people with mobility disabilities. “They just have everything set up really well,” he said. “I think it’s a lot of their culture too. Because Whitewater is known for [accessibility], and it’s not that big of a deal to have someone with a disability in a class there, it happens all the time. Here it’s more of a bigger deal. They don’t know what to do in a way.” On UW-Madison’s campus, approximately one out of every 2,000 students uses the McBurney Center for wheelchair mobility resources. At UW-Whitewater’s much smaller campus, a higher percentage, 20 out of every 2,000 students, utilizes campus accessibility resources for the same purpose. Elizabeth Watson, director for UW-Whitewater’s Center for

Students with Disabilities said a long history of prioritizing accessibility on their campuses contributed to their success today. UW-Whitewater received funding from the UW System Board of Regents to become the systems’ model campus for accessibility following the Rehabilitation Act in 1973. The federal law guaranteed equal access to education for people with disabilities, which required the system to create at least one accessible campus in

the state. Michael Lenser, a UW-Whitewater physical therapist, said accessibility has been built into the campus mission ever since. “It’s not just ‘accommodate this student,’” Lenser said. “It’s a full-blown, campus-wide, dedicated effort to make everything as accessible as possible and taking great pride in that.” Eventually all UW campus-

Dean of Students Lori Berquam said the university will provide students with IDs that comply with a new voting law.

Although a new state law disallows students from using their student ID as identification to vote, Dean of Students Lori Berquam said UW-Madison will provide students access to identification cards that will allow them to vote. Under the new law, student IDs are acceptable voter identification if they have an issuance date, expiration date within two

years of the issuance date and a student signature. UW-Madison’s IDs do not meet the requirements. At an Associated Students of Madison meeting Wednesday, Berquam said university administration is considering two ways of attaining eligible voter identification for students. “We’ve been working very steadily on this,” Berquam said.

Benches reinstalled on State After many citizens e-mailed him with complaints, Mayor Paul Soglin unilaterally decided to replace benches on State Street after city officials voted last week to remove them from the 500 block. City officials decided last Thursday to remove the benches in front of Taco Bell and Jimmy John’s in response to recurring complaints from business owners about repetitive drug deals conducted by individuals loitering on the benches. According to Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, several citizens e-mailed Soglin over the weekend with complaints about how the benches are not there for law-abiding citizens to rest on. Others said it was an attack on the homeless. Verveer said Soglin’s main

argument in replacing the benches involves tackling the root of the problem, which is addressing the drug dealing occurring on State Street, instead of removing benches drug dealers use. “I did express my displeasure [to the mayor] that the benches were reinstalled despite the committee’s very well-reasoned approach,” Verveer said. “With winter approaching it won’t be an issue over the upcoming months, but it will be an issue come spring.” Verveer said Soglin intends to create a city staff team to examine issues such as overcrowding downtown, especially concerning the placement of sidewalk cafes, merchant vending, benches and bicycle racks. —Taylor Harvey

Elliot Morris the morr, the better

’m the kind of guy who likes to have a plan. Life is comfy when you’re able to settle into a rhythm. More order means fewer surprises, and I like that. I have for as long as I can remember. Back in sixth grade, my family began planning the holy grail of family vacations: Disney World. Fuck yes. In my 11-year-old mind, this vacation became priority numero uno before it even happened. As soon as plans became final, I peed a little then forced my mom to drive me to Barnes and Noble to buy a travel book. I needed to make good use of it the four months before we left. While most kids prepare for

this rite of passage by watching “The Little Mermaid” or “Dumbo” (…ok, maybe not “Dumbo”), I was flipping through this guidebook like a madman, examining maps and reading about Mickey’s 38 exclusive appearances throughout the day. At the time, I couldn’t possibly imagine a travesty worse than missing out on Space Mountain or any other incredible attraction, so I made minute-by-minute itineraries for everyday. I was a planning fiend. I didn’t think for a second that the rest of my family might not be ready for their vacation to turn into a rigid, boot camplike sprint around the happiest place on earth. Much to my extreme disappointment (bordering on devastation) my family resisted my constant nagging when the trip finally came. “Splash Mountain again?

But the schedule! We’ll never make it to the Hall of Presidents in time! “If I don’t see a robot version of Abraham Lincoln give the Gettysburg Address, I am literally going to die,” I whined. I knew I shouldn’t have felt that much anxiety, but with months spent envisioning the perfect trip, my young self had incredibly high, albeit unrealistic, expectations. Hindsight is 20/20, I guess. My obsession with planning extended to situations where I had absolutely no business doing so. I mistook personal hopes for concrete plans. I would ask to stop for ice cream on the way home from the store, and when my mom said “maybe,” I took this as “sure, feel free to get your hopes up; we probably will. You’re my weirdly anal son, so you deserve it. Feel free to let your mind dwell on it for the next

30 minutes so you can flip shit internally if we don’t.” This was by no means an isolated incident, but throughout the rest of middle and high school I learned to go easy on the hype of planning as to avoid the habitual soul-crushing disappointment that inevitably followed most of my life’s would-be exciting events. Don’t get me wrong I still plan my vacations to the hour and make to-do lists in my sleep, but I guess I’m a little less likely to develop a stress rash if not everything goes the way I want. That’s progress, right? Ok, so maybe I haven’t improved at all, but I’m planning on it. Which mean it’s probably going to happen. Want to schedule a vacation to Disney World with Elliot this fall season so you can ditch out on midterms? E-mail him at ejmorris2@ wisc.edu and get a head start on your minute-by-minute itinerary.

The Dirty Bird sex and the student body

Practice makes perfect: The art of blowjobs Erica andrist sex columnist Dear Erica, I want to start giving [my boyfriend] blowjobs... I haven’t ever given a blowjob before. How do I make sure he’ll like it? —Sorry Understanding of Cocksucking Knowledge I LOVE BLOWJOBS! Now, SUCK, look in the mirror and say that 10 times. My first bit of advice is to think about why you want to start giving blowjobs. What makes them sexy for you? What makes you enjoy them as much as he does? I ask this because the first tip to help you blow like a pro is enthusiasm. A dull, perfunctory blowjob, even if the performer does everything technically “right,” is probably still not a very good blowjob. Like with any other sex act, it’s best when all parties are involved, active participants; if someone is just there out of some sense of humdrum obligation, then it takes the quality down a few notches. Tip number two is to ask what your partner likes in advance or during the actual event. Remember, the best head is the head your partner likes best. Asking permission for things can be a sexy way to simultaneously talk dirty and get consent. Once you and your partner are on the same wavelength, focus on his most sensitive bits. The head is a great place to start, along with the corona (that ridge where the head meets the shaft) and

particularly the frenulum (the little triangular spot on the corona on the underside). Kiss his balls, or gently take them in your mouth. Pull up his foreskin and swirl your tongue around inside it. Lube up a finger and play with his ass. Don’t forget about the nonpenis parts of his body and sensorium that can get in on the action too. Lightly run your fingers along his thighs. Slide your palm up his belly until you get to his nipples. Moan a lot and tell him how much you love having his cock in your mouth. If you’re a gal, touch yourself for a minute and let him taste how much you love it, or if you have a dick of your own, let him feel how hard it makes you, too. Once he’s good and worked up, you might try deep throating. Deep throating is not always a necessary component of a good blowjob, but it’s an exceptional tool to have in your repertoire. Slide your mouth all the way down the shaft (watch your teeth) and stay there. Make eye contact. Move back up just an inch or two and then return to the base, keeping the head deep inside your mouth. Go slow. Go fast. Pay attention to how he’s responding; his breathing and his body language can cue you in to what he likes just as much as what he’s saying. Think your gag reflex is too sensitive to deep throat? It’s probably not. Practice a bit with your toothbrush, a spoon or dildo (no really, practice). Try to figure out how you like to breathe. Work on inching back further into your mouth, a little bit at a time. See if you can keep it there longer. Your gag reflex probably won’t ever be eliminated, but you can

learn to control it. And for the big finish? It’s often portrayed as an either/ or (spitting or swallowing), but there are many additional options: You could let your partner cum on your face, your chest or let him squirt across the room. Ask him what he likes or has never tried before, and remember, the job isn’t necessarily over once your partner has an orgasm. Get a tissue, or grab a blanket and cuddle a bit. Let him (and help him) come down from the mind-blowing high you just gave him. One final point: This column talks about blowjobs on a malebodied person, but almost all of the tips can be applied to oral sex

on a vulva, or oral sex on a partner with a strap-on. Enthusiasm, discussion and whole-body involvement—all of these things can be applied to any partner during any sex act. That’s all I’ve got for you today, SUCK. Remember that it’s okay to have a learning curve, and that while practice makes perfect with blowjobs, the practice can be pretty fun in and of itself. But hopefully with these tips to start you off, you won’t suck when you suck. Good luck. Practice makes perfect! For more helpful tips and techniques on blowjobs, oral sex or any other sexual activity you’re in need of improving these days, send an e-mail to Erica at sex@ dailycardinal.com.

Vos requests recall cost By Jack Casey The Daily Cardinal

State Rep. Robin Vos, R-Rochester, requested the Government Accountability Board estimate how much tax revenue it would take to fund a possible recall election of Gov. Scott Walker. “With this figure in mind, I believe Wisconsin taxpayers should know the estimated cost of running a state-wide election before petitions are circulated,” Vos said in a letter. “Taxpayers need VOS this cost estimate so they can make a better informed decision as to how their tax dollars should be spent.” The Democratic Party of Wisconsin and United Wisconsin will begin collecting signatures Nov. 15. GAB Public Information Officer Reid Magney said the board would ask counties and municipalities to give an estimate of

the cost of a statewide recall election. Last month, Vos also introduced a constitutional amendment that would redefine and streamline the rules for recalling state politicians. Current Wisconsin requirements mandate a group submitting a recall petition for a local official to include a stated reason for the recall that connects to the official’s duties. No reason is required when recalling a state official. Vos’ amendment would require a stated reason for recall petitions of both state and local officials. “The new legislation would make the law uniform at the state and local levels,” Vos said in a statement. Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca, D-Kenosha, criticized what he saw as a way to protect Republicans from recall elections. “Floating this constitutional amendment … appears to indicate that Republicans are frightened that future actions to hold them accountable will also be successful,” Barca said.

Retailers use database to avoid theft Various businesses in downtown Madison, particularly on State Street, are using an online database service to share information about suspicious and rowdy customers more easily. The service, provided by the Financial and Retail Protection Association, aims at fighting retail property crimes, from shoplifting to armed robbery. “Informally, what retailers do now, is we exchange information, but there’s no system involved,” owner of Madison Sole Jeanette Riechers said. “Having this system makes it more efficient; we can be on the offense as well as the defense.”

Business retailers can post a suspicious person on the database for their business counterparts to see. Business retailers also have the ability to perform searches for various suspicious persons. “If we knew what was going on up and down the street we would know before the fact and convey that to our employees, print out pictures and be much better prepared,” Riechers said. “It’s all power of numbers,” president of Fontana Sports Specialties John Hutchinson said. “The more people who get involved and active in it, the more effective [the database] will be.”

feared the university would have difficulty completing either form of identification by when students would need them to vote. Berquam said the WISCard office is ready to make the IDs as soon as administrators determine which form to invest in. She said the IDs will be ready in time for students to vote in the Feb. 21 election. Legislative Affairs Chair Hannah Somers proposed legislation at Wednesday’s student council meeting requesting administration determine the procedure for implementing voter ID compliant student IDs by Oct. 26. The legislation also urges administration to lobby for state funding for the IDs.

In the first option, which Berquam said she favored, WISCards would be altered to fulfill voter ID requirements, costing the around $500,000. The second option would give students a new card supplementary to their student ID to serve as voter ID, costing the university around $100,000. However, the card would be valid for two years. Berquam said the Government Accountability Board will meet Nov. 9 to decide what option they would prefer the university use. ASM Rep. Libby Wick-Bander said she

ASM debates removed council members’ return By Abby Becker The Daily Cardinal

Student government leaders proposed controversial legislation Wednesday to return two recently removed student leaders to their positions. Former Associated Students of Madison Vice Chair Beth Huang and Nominations Board Chair Niko Magallon were recently removed from council after failing to turn in required service hours on time. The proposed legislation would return them to their seats. Former ASM Chair Brandon Williams criticized the legislation on behalf of himself and six other former ASM leaders. He said the legislation would undermine the authority of the Student Judiciary, the body who ruled to remove the leaders from their positions. “This act strips authority from the judiciary in an effort to grant exemption for two individuals and establish the council as the most powerful branch of ASM,” Williams said. ASM Rep. Nneka Akubeze spoke in favor of the legislation, saying it would allow the council to move forward.

accessibility from page 1 es created disability resources because the system did not want to “warehouse” those students on one campus, Director of UW-Madison McBurney Disability Resource Center Cathy Trueba said. Today, all UW System campuses have those resources, but Trueba said that does not eliminate all the problems people with disabilities face on a day-to-day basis. “An elevator breaks down; well, that’s got consequence,” Trueba said. “The rest of us just take the stairs.” At UW-Madison, students facing issues like Engel’s can work with the UW-Madison facilities’ access specialist and the McBurney Center on an individual basis to solve problems with buildings, such as installing automatic door openers where needed. Trueba said UW-Madison hopes to go

“The end goal is that we return to a properly functioning body which is having two crucial chairs back into our circle,” said Akubeze. Although the legislation would allow Huang to return to her seat on council, she spoke against it. “I think that if student council moves to reinstate me in this way it’s equally terrible,” said Huang. “It’s a bad precedent and not grounded in any procedures that we have.” Huang said the Student Judiciary should return her to council, not the legislation. SJ Chief Justice Kate Fifield strongly opposed the legislation. “If this is the way things are going to be, I see no reason why SJ should take complaints,” said Fifield. ASM Chair Allie Gardner said Fifield’s comments to the council will impact the way that the ASM branches communicate in the future. “There’s checks and balances between all the bodies,” said Gardner. “In order for us to respect those checks and balances there also must be communication and cooperation.” beyond what ADA regulations require by encouraging universal design, making facilities “more useful for everybody.” Universal design includes concepts like family bathrooms, which serve families and transgender individuals as well as students with wheelchairs. Engel said while getting around UW-Madison can be difficult, it is “not that bad.” He said the engineering department staff always offers help when he needs it and he understands the difficulties of providing access while working around the large hill in the middle of campus. Still, Engel suggests others experience the challenges faced by people with mobility disabilities. “Roll around in a wheelchair for a day. See how it is. Try to use the doors. Try to get into the bathroom,” Engel said. “Try it for a day and see what it’s like.”

Holy smokes: Popes on stage Saturday By Jeremy Gartzke the daily cardinal

Josh Caterer is very deliberate about his soft speech. The man, who sounds like a ‘50s crooner up and joined a punk band, will be playing at the High Noon Saloon this weekend with the Smoking Popes. The band is made up of Caterer brothers, Josh, Eli and Matt, as well as the Lawrence Arms drummer Neil Hennessy. The foursome is currently touring in support of their latest record, a concept album, This is Only a Test. Middle brother Josh spoke to The Daily Cardinal about how creating the album served as his

The Skinny Who: The Smoking Popes Where: High Noon Saloon, 701 E. Washington Ave. When: Saturday, Oct. 15, 9:30 p.m. Cost: $13 Why you should care: These guys are veterans on the punk scene. Plus, $1 of every ticket goes to Sweet Relief, a fund for retired entertainers. Check this out before you go: Listen to a few tracks from their latest album, This Is Only a Test, free on websites like Spotify and Grooveshark. With the low financial commitment and ability to skip around between full tracks, hearing a bit about their teenage life through this concept album is a great way to get prepped for the show.

teenage catharsis. “One day it occurred to me that I had never really written songs from an explicitly teenage point of view,” Caterer said. “Even when I was a teenager, I was always trying to adopt the perspective of a more sophisticated person or pretend that I was more adult than I really was, because that’s the kind of music that I liked.” “I definitely did spend a lot of time listening to Frank Sinatra when I was a teenager. I think he’s one of the greatest singers there ever was,” he said. “I’m also a huge fan of Judy Garland. I think that she was actually the greatest singer, and all around best entertainer, certainly in the history of film and probably in the history of recorded music as well.” Giving one of their records a spin, his influences aren’t all that surprising, but hearing the Smoking Popes described as a punk band at first, I couldn’t help but be surprised the first time I listened to them. The way these influences have shaped the band’s music is obvious upon listening, and it makes the band stand out in their field. The unique sound of the Smoking Popes is largely a result of song-writing. “I’m a certain kind of songwriter. I think that the melody is primarily important, and that you have to be saying something,” Caterer said. “There’s this relationship between the content of what you’re saying and the way that the music and melody can create a mood which supports that content and expresses an emotion that is appropriate to the idea of the lyric.” The band is definitely not the type to arena-tour, how as the songs they write are ideal for

the slightly intimate setting. The High Noon is perfect, then, as its cozy setting will foster their classic sound while still providing the great sound setup a punk band requires. When asked what his perfect venue size was, Caterer was certain it existed somewhere between 500 and 1000 people. “My band Duvall opened for Weezer several years ago, and we played at a place that sat 10,000 people, and you could see maybe the first thousand people in front. After that it was just kind of an abyss,” he said. I felt like what we were doing wasn’t really big enough for the room.” Unfortunately the High Noon Saloon is a little smaller than that, but fans will still appreciate the chance to get up close to Caterer’s crooning. According to Caterer, their sets are an amalgamation of songs from all five of their studio albums. “There’s something for everyone in one of our sets,” he said. When asked about his favorite road memory, he was quick to explain why the band’s recent tour with Alkaline Trio was one of the best of their career. “We were just having a blast. There was a great connection personally between us and them,” Caterer said. “Their crowd is really fun to play to, and I started doing some stage diving which is something I’ve never really gotten into before, but now I’m kind of hooked on it. I guess I’m a late bloomer.” With a new album planned for 2013, the Popes have a slew of reissues with remastered songs and bonus tracks coming out. But before any of that, the band will be playing here in Madison Saturday. This is a show that has potential to be spectacular.

HOMECOMING 2011

Russell Wilson’s ability to quickly mesh into the UW offense and the success of Badger substitutes are a big part of Wisconsin’s undefeated record.

Chemistry and depth fuels Badgers’ success

efore this season, questions regarding the quarterback position and team chemistry lingered for Wisconsin. Any team

would expect breaking in a new quarterback to be a hurdle to overcome, especially one coming from a different offensive scheme a month before the season’s start. The case of Russell Wilson and the Badgers suggests otherwise. Story by Ryan Hill Wisconsin is a program that prides itself on building up players from the very beginning— transforming them into leaders. When it comes to their quarterback, this is unfamiliar territory the Badgers find themselves in this year. Five games into the season, the undefeated Badgers’ team chemistry appears to have been helped, not hurt, by the addition of Russell Wilson. Few would have guessed how vital Wilson would be for what was previously a run-heavy offense. Last year, quarterback Scott Tolzien didn’t need to do much because of the Badgers’ unstop-

pable running game. Against Michigan, he handed the ball off 29 times in a row. Tolzien was simply an efficient quarterback. Wilson is very efficient and then some. Auburn faced a similar situation last year when Cam Newton carried the Tigers to a national championship after enduring a fierce SEC conference schedule. It can be assumed Auburn was fueled by great team chemistry; it is hard to imagine a team running the table without it. At this point in the season, chemistry for Wisconsin appears to be as healthy as any-

one could have hoped, and it shows no signs of weakening. “Just to start off with summer conditioning and all of that, that really is where we built [chemistry],” junior running back Montee Ball said. “It was really strong then, but you know going through the season with wins under your belt really keeps the team closer together. That’s a really important thing to have.” Considering how solid team chemistry is looking after just one conference win, it is an exciting prospect that it could continue to grow, as Ball described. What makes this year’s chemistry so special to offensive coordinator Paul Chryst is that it allows for vast improvement. “It’s because you got good guys,” he said. “[Senior right tackle Josh Oglesby] could’ve taken a purple heart many times. I think he truly cares about this team and truly cares and likes to play football. The guys, across the board, are doing everything they can to truly contribute to our school.” Indiana, who lost to the Badgers 83-20 last season, hasn’t been able to prove itself this year, struggling this season as much as the last. With all of the momentum and

chemistry—not to mention the Badgers coming fresh off of a bye week—Indiana is facing the Badgers at the wrong time. Another blowout could very well be in store for the surging Badgers. Indiana allowed a whopping 308 yards on the ground last week against Illinois. If those numbers don’t make Ball and James White eager to play on Saturday, it’s likely nothing will. Even though Indiana might not be capable of putting up the biggest of fights on Saturday, don’t expect the Badgers to let off the gas, as Wilson made it clear he will not.

“I think that our work ethic is there,” he said. “Coach Bielema is not going to allow us to coast, and the captains aren’t going to allow us to coast. Our mindset is to get better every day and just to push ourselves to try to be the best that we can

on a daily basis.” Don’t discount the defense; even after a handful of injuries, the chemistry hasn’t appeared to crack. Strong defensive depth on the roster has played a large role in propelling the Badgers to the nation’s thirdranked defense. “I think that injuries are an unfortunate part of the sport,” co-defensive coordinator Charlie Partridge said. “I think we’ve done a pretty good job of recruiting for some depth, and we’ve had some guys that have done a good job of stepping into their roles and taking advantage of it.” Five games into the season, the Badgers are poised for a shot at the national championship game in New Orleans. Wilson and the rest of the newcomers have demonstrated they fit well into the team’s chemistry. For Ball, the teams’ relationships adds up to more than team chemistry. “Coming to Wisconsin, you know you’re going to be thrown into a family, and I feel like I was,” he said. “The players deciding to come here, I hope they feel the same way.” After all the success the Badgers have had this year, it’s hard to imagine them feeling any different.

and the Indiana game provides a perfect opportunity to practice new plays. Thanks to Bielema’s strict policy—every Wisconsin game is of equal importance—you won’t hear any coaches or players admit to that type of strategy, but that doesn’t mean they can’t work on things that will be useful for upcoming challenges.

Defensive depth shines

The Wisconsin defense has suffered its fair share of injuries this season, but it hasn’t skipped a beat on the field. Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema is a strong proponent of the “next man in” mentality, and there have been solid defensive performances by the players filling in for their injured comrades. Junior cornerback Marcus Cromartie is starting in place of senior Devin Smith, who is out for the year after undergoing foot surgery in September. Cromartie has started in the last four games and has played solid football. “I know my teammates have confidence in me, and that’s all that really matters for me right now,” Cromartie said. “We just depend on each other to play our best each and every week.” Junior defensive end David Gilbert won’t be back until late November because of a broken foot. In the wake of Gilbert’s injury, junior Brendan Kelly jumped into the starting lineup at defensive end against Nebraska and recorded his first career sack and forced a fumble. “We’re grateful for the opportunities that we’re given, and

we’re going to try to do the best we can,” Kelly said. This weekend, look for Cromartie and Kelly to further assert themselves as starters of the Wisconsin defense. If the two can combine to make some big plays, the Badgers should feel confident about this defense as they head toward the difficult part of the schedule.

Road games await

Wisconsin has yet to play a true road game this season, though the Badgers did head down to Chicago for a neutral site game against Northern Illinois back in September. The matchup with Indiana will be the final game for Wisconsin before they head into the murky abyss that is Big Ten road play. Looking at Saturday’s matchup objectively, there is almost no possible way the Badgers could lose to the Hoosiers. With that in mind, it may be a good idea for Wisconsin to try out a few different wrinkles in preparation for road games at Michigan State and Ohio State. The Wisconsin offense may need to get creative against the solid Spartan defense,

Wisconsin’s offense went on a record-breaking rampage against the Hoosiers last season, blowing out Indiana by the score of 83-20. Though Indiana has a new head coach in Kevin Wilson, there are still likely numerous players on the team who have that game fresh in their minds. Regardless, the rumblings out of Bloomington are that the Hoosiers do not want to rely on a revenge factor for motivation on Saturday. On the flip side, the Badgers must find a way to keep their intensity level high against Indiana. Wisconsin’s success is predicated on not playing up or down to their opponents, and the Badgers cannot afford to fall into bad habits with Big Ten road play looming.

double Qb bonanza

Indiana could be going with two quarterbacks this weekend, even though last week’s starter, Dusty Kiel, is injured and will not play. Edwin Wright-Baker and Tre Roberson are both in contention to see playing time at quarterback on Saturday. Wisconsin already faced a team with two quarterbacks against Oregon State. The Badger defense did not allow a single point in that game, so it’s safe to say they will be able to handle two quarterbacks again this week. “It is tougher to prepare for two quarterbacks if they both

bring something different to the table,” senior safety Aaron Henry said. “Both of [Indiana’s quarterbacks] are pretty similar as far as their mechanics go and as far as how athletic they are.” The Badgers could face yet another team later in the season who can’t decide on playing just one quarterback: Penn State. There is a popular saying that goes “if you have two quarterbacks, you don’t have any,” but Wisconsin still has to prepare for all potential quarterbacks accordingly.

O-LINE REbound

The Badger offensive line looks to rebound after a less than stellar performance against Nebraska. The Huskers got into the backfield early and often at Camp Randall. That was the first time

this season senior quarterback Russell Wilson encountered significant pressure in the pocket. Frankly, it was an odd sight to see Wilson get sacked by a defender. It stands to reason that the Wisconsin offensive line is not quite as good as last year’s edition, however. The Badgers lost a lot of offensive line talent to the NFL this past offseason with the departures of Gabe Carimi, John Moffitt and Bill Nagy. Wisconsin will likely run the ball most of the time against Indiana, but there will still be some opportunities for the offensive line to work on their pass blocking. Fortunately, Wilson’s elusiveness in the pocket can erase many offensive line mistakes, but the linemen will need to elevate their level of play as the Badgers prepare for difficult road tests.

Homecoming 2011, Wisconsin vs. Indiana

NATIONAL OUTLOOK

Spartans look to continue dominance By Ted Porath The Daily Cardinal

With the first BCS standings coming out on Sunday, this week’s slate of college football games are of extra importance.

Michigan vs. Michigan State

The Michigan Wolverines will make the trip to East Lansing this weekend for a crucial matchup with its in-state rival and “little brother,” Michigan State. Michigan State is looking to win its fourth consecutive game in this rivalry since 1959-62. Although both teams have been ranked in the top 25 of each of the last three matchups, this game is a little more important, as the winner will take sole possession of first place in the Legends Division of the Big Ten. Michigan (2-0 Big Ten, 6-0 overall) struggled early but poured it on late to win against Northwestern last weekend, 42-24 and Michigan State (1-0 Big Ten, 4-1 overall) comes into this matchup off of a bye week. Michigan is 6-0 for the first time since 2006, a season in which the Wolverines won their first 11 games. The Wolverines owe much of this year’s success to the play of their junior quarterback Denard Robinson, who passed for 337 yards and three touchdowns, while adding 117 rushing yards and two scores in last week’s win. Robinson currently ranks ninth in the FBS in rushing and has led the Wolverine offense to be ranked second in the Big Ten in yards per game. The Spartans defense, however, is more than up to the challenge. Michigan State has the top-ranked defense in the nation, giving up only 173 total yards per game and a measly 64 yards on the ground. This stellar defense was apparent in the Spartans last victory over Ohio State. The Spartans held the Buckeyes to 178 total yards and sacked Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller nine times.

Baylor vs. Texas A&M

The Baylor Bears travel to Kyle Field on Saturday to take on in-state rival Texas A&M for what might be the last time in a while, as Texas A&M will move to the SEC next year. Texas A&M has won 18 of the last 20 matchups between these two squads, but in order to get number 19, they will have to improve their FBS-worst pass defense. Baylor (1-1 Big 12, 4-1 overall) is coming off a big win against Iowa State, 49-26, while Texas A&M (1-1 Big 12, 3-2 overall) comes into this week’s game having just squeaked out a win against Texas Tech, 45-40. The Bears are led by junior quarterback Robert Griffin III, who has passed for over 1500 yards, 19 touchdowns and only one interception this season, which is good enough for the nation’s second best quarterback rating. It is this great quarterback play that has led the Baylor offense to score over 47 points a game (fourth in the nation) and score 49 points and amass over 600 yards in last week’s win. Texas A&M is no slouch on offense either. The Aggies’ offense is well-balanced between the pass and the run, led by senior quarterback Ryan Tannehill and senior running back Cyrus Gray. It is this balance that has allowed Texas A&M to average 39 points and over 493 total yards per game.

Oklahoma State vs. Texas

The Oklahoma State Cowboys will head to Austin this weekend for a matchup with their Big 12 rival, the Texas Longhorns. The Cowboys have won just two times in 16 trips to Austin, but were able to snap a 12 game skid against the Longhorns when they beat Texas 33-16 at Texas Memorial Stadium last year. Oklahoma State (2-0 Big 12, 5-0 overall) comes into this weekend’s matchup riding high as they put up a whopping 70 points against Kansas last week. Texas (1-1 Big 12, 4-1 overall) comes in on the opposite end of the spectrum, after taking a Texas-sized shellacking at the hands of their “Red River” rival Oklahoma, 55-17. The Cowboys feature the secondranked pass game in the country (431 yards per game) led by 27-yearold senior quarterback Brandon Weeden and junior wide receiver Justin Blackmon. This tandem was vital in last week’s win over the Jayhawks as Weeden threw five touchdowns and Blackmon caught two before being pulled in the second quarter. Weeden is fourth in the nation in total passing yards and Blackmon is in the top 10 in receptions despite playing only five games thus far. To be able to compete with the Oklahoma offense, the Longhorns will once again have to rely on the quarterback duo of Case McCoy and David Ash. The Texas quarterbacks will have to improve on their ball security as they combined for four turnovers against Oklahoma last week.

Arizona State vs. Oregon

The Arizona State Sun Devils will head to Eugene to square off with Pac 12 conference foe Oregon on Saturday. The Sun Devils have lost the last six meetings between these two squads, all by double digits, but may get a break as the nation’s leading rusher LaMichael James may not play due to an elbow injury. Arizona State (3-0 Pac 12, 5-1 overall) boasts the only undefeated conference record in the Pac 12 South and is coming off a 35-14 victory over new conference member Utah. Oregon (2-0 Pac 12, 4-1 overall), a member of the Pac 12 North, comes into this week having just beaten conference foe California, 43-15. To snap its losing streak against Oregon, Arizona State will have to put a lot of points on the scoreboard. This means that the Sun Devils’ 6 foot 8 inch tall junior quarterback Brock Osweiler will have to have a breakout game. Osweiler has been a solid starting quarterback for the Sun Devils this year, completing 66 percent of his passes, but he has had problems with interceptions; throwing two against Illinois and three against Oregon State. Osweiler must play turnover-free football this week if Arizona State is to find success against Oregon and its high-power offense. Oregon, despite the possibility of playing without their top rusher, has plenty of other skilled offensive players and should still be able to put up plenty of points. Dual-threat quarterback Darron Thomas and speedy junior running back Kenjon Barner should be able to pick up the slack for the nation’s second-ranked offense if James is not able to go on Saturday night.

opinion Letter: ID law hinders student vote 6

Thursday, October 13, 2011

Fiona Cahill & Janel Alters The young progressives

By passing 2011 Wisconsin Act 23, otherwise known as the Voter ID law, Wisconsin’s Republican legislature moved Wisconsin from being one of the most inclusive states to one of the most restrictive in terms of voting rights. However, action by UW students and Wisconsin citizens, and a timely response from the UW-Madison administration, has resulted in at least one victory against attempts to limit student rights. Republican leaders in the State Legislature pushed for quick passage of a voter ID bill because of alleged cases of voter fraud manipulating elections in Wisconsin. However, the original bill did not allow for any form of student identification cards as acceptable voter ID, which endangered hundreds of thousands of students’ Constitutional rights.

UW-Madison students need to make sure to get to the polls.

Thanks to quick student mobilization and action, largely by the cooperative organization Save the Student Voice: Stop SB6—composed of The Young Progressives, College Democrats and other UW student orgs—a form of student ID cards were included in the final bill. However, the requirements in the bill, which include a signature, date of issuance and expiration date, are so restrictive that no Wisconsin college or university currently issues cards

that meet them. Issuing new ID cards is expensive, so it’s understandable that many institutions are hesitant to do so in this period of financial uncertainty. UW-Madison may have to spend $700,000 every two years on new IDs as a result of this law—even though, as Sen. Jon Erpenbach , D-Waunakee, noted, “We don’t have election fraud problems in Wisconsin ... we have less than a handful of fraud cases.” This fall, The Young Progressives and Gene and Sandy Lundergan of MoveOn.Org circulated a petition that amassed more than eight thousand signatures of citizens and students alike, asking the UW-Madison administration to find a solution for the thousands of students affected by this bill. The administration responded: By the spring 2012 primaries, students will have access through the university to a compliant form of ID, says Lori Berquam, UW’s Dean of Students. “Our campus has long encouraged our students to engage in active public debates surrounding important issues. Every election cycle, we work to ensure that students are informed about the locations and various qualifications for voting, while allowing them to make their own decisions on the day’s issues,” said Berquam in a letter to The Young Progressives in response to the petition. “We intend for a decision to be reached between these options in time for students to be ready and equipped with compliant IDs in time to use them for the spring primaries in February.” The university is currently in the process of deciding whether this ID will be a reissuance of or separate from stu-

The Republican state legislature recently passed the 2011 Voter ID law, which makes Wisconsin one of the most restrictive states in the nation when it comes to voting rights. dents’ Wiscards. Regardless, it will carry a high monetary cost. An earlier proposal to allow stickers to modify student ID cards was put aside in what Young Progressives President Steve Hughes called “disappointing proof that Gov. Walker and the Fitzgerald brothers will continue to attack students’ right to vote.” Thankfully, the administration recognizes that student voting is a priority and is willing to commit to helping students exercise their constitutional right to participate in elections.

Dean of Students Lori Berquam noted that UW-Madison “has long encouraged... students to engage in active public debates surrounding important issues. We hope to continue that legacy long into the future.” This fight is not over. A plan to create compliant ID cards for UW-Madison students is obviously a step forward for the students of this university, but for thousands of other students across the state—and for those who are not enrolled in school—obtaining an ID card that satisfies

the new law may be difficult. Having obtained a commitment from the administration to help us vote, UW-Madison students need to make sure to get to the polls not only for the general election in November 2012, but also for spring elections. Let’s prove that efforts to disenfranchise the student population will not succeed. Fiona Cahill is Issues and Candidates Director for The Young Progressives.

Men’s Hockey

Between the pipes Wisconsin’s two freshman goalies are eager to continue proving people wrong after solid debuts last weekend

n many ways the Wisconsin men’s hockey team’s goaltenders define the team itself. Both are young, inexperienced and face questions about whether or not they will be able to remain competitive over the rigors of a full WCHA conference season. And like the Badgers themselves, freshman goaltenders Landon Peterson and Joel Rumpel are eager to prove those critics wrong. Understandably, there were plenty of questions during the offseason about Wisconsin coming into the year relying on two rookie net minders and a junior (goaltender Mitch Thompson) with a combined zero games of college

Story by Ryan Evans hockey experience. Navigating the waters of the WCHA is turbulent enough for veterans, let alone two goaltenders who don’t have the game experience to know what they are up against. Peterson and Rumpel both got their first taste of college hockey last weekend against Northern Michigan, and Badger fans got their first look at two players whose play will go a long way in determining the success level Wisconsin attains this season. As you would expect from a pair of freshmen, it took both goalies until after the first periods of their respective starts against the Wildcats to truly get settled in,

according to UW volunteer assistant coach Jeff Sanger, who works primarily with the Badgers’ goalies. “They both came out strong and settled down once they took their first shots,” Sanger said. “First periods were a little shaky and then once they both got that under their belt they were fine.” Once they did get settled in, both goaltenders played well in their debuts—Peterson stopping 16 of 19 shots on Friday and Rumpel 31 of 33 Saturday. The efforts that Wisconsin got in goal were the reason the team was able to stay in both games after falling behind 2-0 early on both nights. “Our goalies definitely kept us in the games,” junior forward Derek Lee said after Saturday’s game. “Both Peterson last night and Rumpel tonight. They both had outstanding games.” “I was pretty nervous before the game [on Friday], but nerves always turn into energy for me walking out on the ice,” Peterson said. “I just kept telling myself to control the things that I can control and not worry about everybody watching you or anything; just play your game.” While their performances are certainly cause for optimism moving forward, Peterson and Rumpel have plenty of room to grow as players according to Sanger—who himself was a standout goaltender at Colorado College from 1998 to 2002. He is working with both of them in practice to help them do just that. “Landon is a patient, aggressive kid and he’s quick in the crease,” Sanger said. “But he can become a little too aggressive and over move.” “Joel is a bigger kid and takes up more room in the net,” he added. “So we work on the fundamental side. He has a lot of raw talent and we’re working with him on stay on top of the crease and being aggressive in battling for each puck.” As head coach Eaves point-

ed out, while the performances against Northern Michigan were encouraging, as freshman, both Peterson and Rumpel will have to strive for consistency in maintaining that level of play. “It was good to see what they did, but there’s that consistency level that has to be there weekend in, weekend out,” Eaves said. “What we saw was nice to see. Now, every time you get between the pipes, you’ve got to do it again.” Coming into the start of the season the main questions facing this Badgers team were both between the pipes. Critics had their doubts about whether two freshmen would be able to reliably shoulder the load

in goal over the course of a full college hockey season. Both Peterson and Rumpel took steps towards silencing their doubters last weekend against NMU. They are confident in their abilities to backstop this Wisconsin team to success. “Come game time you just have to brush [doubters] off,” Rumpel said. “We wanted to prove [our critics] wrong and show them we have what it takes to play just as well as any other goalie in the league.” “I’m confident in all three of us goalies and nobody should have worries. So I think all the critics can,” Peterson said, pausing as he chose his words carefully, “stop with the antics.”

Football

Badger football news and notes By Parker Gabriel The Daily Cardinal

The bye week is always a good opportunity to heal bumps and bruises. Junior strong safety Shelton Johnson, who missed UW’s win over Nebraska with a calf injury, said he felt fully recovered this Saturday’s game. “I know it’s only five games, but sometimes those five games and fall camp can wear on your body,” Johnson said. “It’s definitely nice to get a break and recharge a little bit.” Johnson won a battle for the starting job against sophomore Dez Southward, though Southward stepped in ably during Johnson’s absence. It will be interesting to watch the number of snaps each sees going forward. In addition to Johnson, players like senior guard Kevin Zietler, senior kicker Philip Welch and tight end Brian Wozniak—who
