Professor helps release Watergate reports
Developers present plans for Judge Doyle Square By Kate Ray The Daily Cardinal
By Alex DiTullio The Daily Cardinal
After 35 years of being kept secret, a UW-Madison professor is helping bring to light documents and recordings related to former President Richard Nixon. The documents, which will be available online to the public Thursday, will include a transcript of Nixon’s grand jury testimony related to the Watergate investigation given in 1975. News outlets at the time reported the testimony included the notorious 18-and-a-half minute gap in a recorded conversation between Nixon and his chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman. Typically, grand jury testimony is kept private. However, U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth sided with Kutler in his decision to release the documents, saying they have “undisputed historical interest.” Kutler, a professor emeritus and Nixon administration expert, said his case met little resistance despite opposition by the Department of Justice, which worked to preserve the privacy of individuals mentioned in the testimony. According to Kutler, though, these arguments held little weight. “Almost everybody that could possibly have been involved with [the testimony] is ... dead,” Kutler said. “There was really no privacy issue.” Judge Lamberth agreed, dismissing arguments put forth by the DOJ, which decided not to appeal Lamberth’s decision. “Watergate’s significance in American history cannot be overstated,” Lamberth wrote in his decision. “The disclosure of President Nixon’s grand jury testimony would likely enhance the existing historical record, foster further scholarly discussion and improve the public’s understanding of a significant historical event.” Kutler said while he does not know the exact details of the transcript, he does not expect it will alter the current understanding of the Nixon era. He said the importance of the case is the precedent it

A legislative panel removed a four-hour training requirement from Wisconsin’s law allowing concealed weapons Monday.
Panel removes training rule, critics object By Alison Bauter The Daily Cardinal
Lawmakers on Tuesday defended against critics who opposed a legislative panel’s decision to remove certain training requirements from recently passed legislation allowing licensed holders to carry concealed weapons. Act 35, which took effect Nov. 1, included a four-hour training requirement for a concealed carry permit, a rule implemented by Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen and the state’s Department of Justice.
“The elimination of those requirements does not bode very well for the safety of the people of Wisconsin.” Sam Gehler vice president UW-Madison Young Progressives
The Joint Administrative Rules Panel voted Monday to remove the rule, along with a requirement that program instructors complete eight hours of training before leading concealed carry courses. Jason Rostan, committee clerk for Joint Administrative Rules Panel Co-Chair Sen. Leah Vukmir, R-Wauwatosa, said the changes addressed the “failure” of some rules to meet the legis-
lation’s goal. Lawmakers did not specify a training period in the original bill, Rostan said, and the justice department’s inclusion of a fourhour requirement was contrary to their intent. According to Rostan, some individuals may need more than four hours of training and some may need less, but the individual and their instructor should determine the appropriate hourly requirement. “At the end, we are trying to create a situation that works best for the individual, works best for the instructors and still creates a safe environment for everybody in the state,” Rostan said. In a press release, the National Rifle Association “applauded” eliminating the training requirement, while some Wisconsin anti-violence and progressive groups derided the change. “The only saving grace [Act 35] had was the fact that there were these requirements,” UW-Madison Young Progressives Vice President Sam Gehler said. “The elimination of those requirements does not bode very well for the safety of the people of Wisconsin.” Gehler compared hurdles to receiving a driver’s license to the “less stringent requirements” now in place for permits to carry concealed weapons, “which are designed to kill people.”
Developers held a public meeting Tuesday on the opportunities a new open space will present for Judge Doyle Square once the current parking garage on Pinckney Street is bulldozed. Various development firms, including KimleyHorn and Associates, Potter Lawson and Urban Assets came together to present their ideas for the two blocks between Wilson and Doty Streets near the Capitol. “There needs to be something really exciting here, something different to really put this block on the map,” Founder of Urban Assets and Director of Public Involvement on the project Melissa Huggins said. Developers presented the idea for an all-purpose building with space for retail, restaurants and the possibility of a bicycle center on the ground floor with two nine-story towers for office and residential space. The bicycle center, one of the most unique assets of the building, would act as a community
space for cyclists in Madison. “This space would include 24/7 indoor bicycle parking, lockers, repair areas, bike wash stations and space for bike retail shops,” Program Consultant of Mobis Transportation Alternatives Andrew Wright said. Developers said they hope to replace the current Pinckney Street parking garage with a five-story underground parking structure beneath the lot of the current garage and partly under the adjacent Madison Municipal building. They also emphasized that these were preliminary ideas and stressed the need for public reaction and input on all aspects of the initial building plans. After the meeting, members of the development firms stood at interactive stations in the lobby and were available for questions and discussions with Madison residents. The results of public reaction and input, as well as the location for the next public meeting on Dec. 14, can be found on the City of Madison website under Judge Doyle Square.

Mayor ‘open’ to Overture compromise Mayor Paul Soglin addressed the city’s 2012 Operating Budget Tuesday, saying he is “open” to discussing a compromise for the current Overture Center budget. Madison’s Board of Estimates recommended Monday a $250 million operating budget to be considered by the Common Council on Nov. 15, with $1.35 million allotted toward the Overture Center budget. According to Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, Soglin is willing to compromise additional
funding for the Overture Center, somewhere between $50,000 and $500,000. According to Soglin, the allotted $1.35 million is an increase from the 2011 Overture funding of $1,297,473, though some have suggested funding should be $2 million, the amount promised by former Mayor Dave Cieslewicz. “The structural agreement was reached last year before

hh, November. With football games and good weather exhuasted the only legitimite reason for your alcoholism is because seasonal depression is about to set in, and we all know alcohol is an upper. Oblivious coasties will be walking around in a T-shirt and those Beats By Dre scarves that don’t even keep their necks warm. Us Midwesterners will sack up and wear sweatpants for weeks on end, complaining about how cold it is as we pass homeless guys passed out on top of a heating vent. Everyone will get pretty pumped about Thanksgiving, that great feast thousands of years ago when we traded with
the Indians: land and corn for some hand-me-down blankets infested with small pox. God bless America. Another grand November tradition is the scramble for apartments. Just get a ton of kids together you hardly know, sign a place that smells like feces and burnt hair and pay a $3000 security deposit. Why? BECAUSE YOU GET A FREE FUCKING WATER BOTTLE. You can pretend those are all mayonnaise stains on the carpet and convince yourself the place will be great after some Febreeze and spacle in the glory hole in the bathrom. If you don’t sign without thinking things through, then all the apartments will be gone and you’ll end up sleeping on heat vents. That’s how it all starts. After signing, you can spend the rest of the month getting to know your future roommate.
He will undoubtedly be a selfdescribed “chill bro who likes to hang out and shit.” He plans on getting his Master’s in Social Media (“Cuz, like, my thesis will be 140 characters or less, right?”). He doesn’t have much time for college classes because of his startup company where he sells marijuana out of the apartment (“They already legalized pot in the country of California, so I think the trend will spread to this coast soon enough,”). Most days he will wrap a condomn around the door to let you know he’s busy masturbating into a sock. It is only November so you have months to mull over this horrible, rash decision. Now, my least favorite part of this month is Daylight Wasting Time. I have no fucking clue why we are walking home from class in the dark or why I would want the useless morning hours to soak up the
sun. I suppose we do have to thank President Bush for at least extending Daylight Savings for two months. Of course, when he did so he thought that would mean two more months of hurrican season, and we all know what kind of damage he can do during those months. My personal favorite November tradition is No-Shave November. Now, I know a lot of ladies aren’t too pumped about dating Chewbacca for a whole month. Only one week has passed and already I look like a child molester. “See, I told you Osama was still alive,” kids say as they pass me on the street. To be fair, I did have a five o’ clock shadow in preschool. Can beards be donated to Locks of Love? Wanna have a beard-growing race with Ben? Of course you do, so shoot Ben an email at stoffelrosal@wisc.edu and let the games begin!
What’s brewing: soup for your beer By Dylan Katz page two columnist
For decades, wine has been regarded as a “classy” drink. While beer was busy gaining a reputation as the drink of the working class and drunk college students (alright, not much has changed in this regard), wine was quickly acquiring a following of wealthy snobs who placed it over everything else as a drink of status. Of course, wine now comes in boxes and beer in pricey, single bottles, but it’s important to remember that it hasn’t always been that way. So, why am I babbling about this? Well, pairing wine with food has always been regarded as something of an art. You’d go to a fancy restaurant, the sommelier would come out and act like a total snob, and then he’d recommend a wine to go with whatever food you had ordered. Now, pairing beer with food sort of works the same way, with one big exception—beer has a much wider variety of styles, so it can complement pretty much everything, even dessert. I thought I’d take a break from my usual ultra-descriptive snobbery and do something slightly different. Today, dear readers, you’re getting a recipe! I’m a great cook (as most of my friends will attest), so I wouldn’t worry about the quality of the dish. Oh yeah, I’ll also throw in a couple of great beers that will pair up perfectly with the meal. With the recent drop in temperature and winter quickly approaching, fewer dishes do a better job battling the cold than soup. Delicious, delicious soup, which, I might add, goes great with a cold beer. At the end of this article, I’ve included a recipe for citrus black bean soup—it’s loaded with garlic, cilantro, and a bevy of other ingredients that will take your taste buds on a wonderful culinary rollercoaster ride. Anyway, let’s talk beer pairing. The classic beer for a spicy dish is, undoubtedly, the India Pale Ale. The bitterness of the hops and subtle, citrus undertones make for a great addition to
any meal. In this case, the perfect brew to go along with a spicy soup would have to been the always-superb Green Flash West Coast IPA. A heavy dose of hops combined with a well-balanced citrusy sweetness makes for one amazing pairing. Now, if hops aren’t your thing, you’re in luck. The farmhouse ale or saison, as it’s known in the beer buffs’ circles, is also a great brew for spicy foods. Saisons are typically represented by a sweet, yeasty flavor and higher alcohol content…they’re also incredibly smooth. My recommendations? If you want to go domestic, grab yourself a bottle of Ommegang Hennepin. Want to class it up and go abroad? Saison Dupont is the beer for you. Both are phenomenal representations of the style and couldn’t be more delicious. Now, without further ado, here’s the recipe for black bean citrus soup (it’s always a winner in my book):
Citrus Black Bean Soup
-Three 15 oz. cans black beans, drained pretty well -One jalapeño pepper -Two cups vegetable broth -Two Tablespoons olive oil -Ten garlic cloves, chopped -Four shallots, chopped -Two large carrots, chopped -Two teaspoons ground cumin - 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro - Lime juice squeezed from 2 limes - Ground black pepper, to taste - Red pepper flakes, to taste - 1/2 cup orange juice
ered, for about 45 minutes. You can add a little more broth if it all evaporates or gets absorbed, or leave uncovered if it looks like there’s too much liquid. While the beans are cooking, heat olive oil over medium heat in skillet and add garlic and shallots. Stir until translucent and garlic is lightly browned, then add carrots and cumin. Stir and continue cooking about 5 more minutes, adding a little liquid from the beans if needed. Add this mixture to the beans and continue cooking, as stated above Cool mixture slightly, and puree about 2/3 of the mixture with a food processor, blender or immersion blender. Add the cilantro and lime juice and process until flavors are mixed thoroughly. Add the black pepper and red pepper flakes and process again. Return mixture to the pot and add orange juice. Heat soup through and serve with a hearty, crusty bread and side salad. Feel free to add a dollop of plain yogurt or sour cream on top, too.
Instructions
Drain canned black beans and put them into saucepan with the pepper and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer, cov-

Expert: Net loss of bachelor degree grads in Wisconsin An education expert told lawmakers Tuesday that Wisconsin employs a smaller percentage of its postsecondary graduates with degrees in certain high-wage fields. Wisconsin exceeds the national average in producing degrees, but 25 percent of degree holders are likely to earn low wages, according to Postsecondary Education and Workforce Development Institute Director Bruce Vandal. Around 40 percent of those with some college credit but no degree earn low wages, which is near the national average. Vandal said it was important to consider the supply and demand of degree holders and the jobs they seek. Even though Wisconsin is a net importer of people, there are more graduates with bachelor’s degrees that leave than come to the state. While Wisconsin produces science, technology, engineering and mathematics graduates at the national average, there are few people employed in
those fields. Graduates employed in management and professional high-wage areas earn slightly less than the national average income rate for those of the same demographic. Vandal said lawmakers must consider whether degree breakdowns are connected to the job opportunities in Wisconsin. “If we’re going to compete in the global economy, we need to have an educated workforce,” Vandal said. “Business as usual probably isn’t going to be the way to find solutions.” Vandal told legislators that Wisconsin has an average level of per capita income and level of education when compared to other states. Additionally, state Sen. Sheila Harsdorf, R-River Falls, said the state must examine its education levels and economy in an international context. “Comparing ourselves to ourselves is not going to get us where we need to go,” Harsorf said. —Samy Moskol
UW to test alert system
UW-Madison will test its emergency notification system between 12 p.m and 2 p.m. Wednesday as part of a National Emergency Alert System Test. The trial will test many of WiscAlert’s newer systems, including text messaging, e-mail and voice lines, along with social media sites. Students and staff do not need to respond to the message, which will read, “WiscAlert: This is a test of the WiscAlert system. In a real emergency, more info would be posted at
wisc.edu.” The university created the alert system for emergency situations that would necessitate campus members to take personal safety measures. Alerts are sent through e-mail, text messages or university provided phones, called Centrex phones. Campus members who wish to receive WiscAlerts can do so with My UW. Those not registered with the WiscAlerts text message system will still receive alerts via e-mail and Centrex.

Walker: Capitol has ‘Christmas,’ not ‘holiday,’ tree
Gov. Scott Walker said the tree in the state Capitol rotunda this holiday season is a Christmas tree, not a “holiday tree,” which it had been called for the last 25 years. Walker referred to the “Capitol Christmas Tree” in a statement announcing the tree’s arrival. The Freedom From Religion Foundation said Walker is endorsing Christianity by using the term according to the Associated Press. But Walker Spokesperson Cullen Werwie said “it’s a Christmas Tree.” “In all honesty, I don’t know what more to say about it,” Werwie told the AP.
Group of teens arrested for battery Police arrested a group of teens and one 21-year-old man for substantial battery Monday night on the southwest side after the group attacked a Madison man in a backyard. Police arrested Lazar J. Miles, one 13-year-old, one 15-year-old and three 14-yearolds, all of Madison. According to police, many have strong gang affiliations. Police said a citizen flagged down a responding officer and directed the officer to a 19-yearold victim lying on the ground. He was initially unconscious, but then began rolling and moaning. The victim said he confronted a couple of teens in
the neighborhood following an earlier dispute, according to police. The teens ran into an apartment and “when they came out, their ranks were swollen to six,” Madison Police Department Spokesperson Joel DeSpain said in a statement. “He took off running, and ended up trying to flee through some backyards where he was caught and battered,” DeSpain said. Police said the victim was repeatedly punched and kicked, landing him in the hospital with non-threatening injuries. When caught, the suspects tried to portray the incident as “play fighting.”

Verveer said after his proposal was denied. “It could make the difference between an individual having a job or not … between shows taking place or not.” Soglin said if he could spend additional funds, he would allot them to snow plowing for exceptional blizzards and to different services and positions that focus on strengthening neighborhoods and building communities. “Streets, neighborhood resource teams and other priorities will have to wait,” Soglin said in a statement. “Overture can too.” —Taylor Havey

f you liked “Happy Feet,” you may get as excited as I am for this Thursday’s entertainment. Brought to you by the WUD Performing Arts Committee, world famous tap dancer Savion Glover will grace the Union Theater Thursday, Nov. 10 at 8 p.m. in “SoLe Sanctuary.” If you can tell me what this title actually means I will buy you a donut. I’m assuming it’s some kind of pun having to do with soles being on your feet.
[Glover]’s not called the best tap dancer in the world without reason, that’s for sure.
Anyway, if you’re not sure which of the famous Glovers I’m talking about, he’s not Troy on “Community” or rapper Childish Gambino (Donald) and did not play that guy in “Angels in the Outfield” (Danny). Nay, you may instead
recognize his moves from the warm and fuzzy penguin flick “Happy Feet,” where he came up with all of Mumble’s breakdowns and co-choreographed dance sequences. Not into cartoons? Glover also starred in Spike Lee’s powerful film “Bamboozled.” I’m also pretty sure he made more than one appearance on “Sesame Street” back in the day. Beyond this, you could have also seen him on Broadway. The point is this guy is kind of a big deal. If you are into music of any kind, I think Savion Glover’s performance here at UW is a seriously exciting opportunity for students. Luckily for those of us with a Wiscard, tickets are only $10, versus the $25-40 the general public has to pay for the show. Yeah, yeah, I’m broke too. But before you shoot down the thought of going just because of the price, please take a moment and think about how much money you have spent on booze for any given weekend… Right. So 10 bucks is really not that big of a deal and I guarantee this experience will be much more enlightening and a lot less hangover-inducing. Still not convinced? Take 43 seconds of your time to open up YouTube (like you weren’t already watching cute cat videos and ignoring the profes-
sor anyway) and watch “Savion ‘Happy Feet’ Glover” to get a feel for the rhythm this guy rides. If the end of that last sentence made you think of “Cool Runnings,” we could probably be friends. He’s not called the best tap dancer in the world without reason, that’s for sure. Take a Thursday night out on the town for some tap and participate in one of the many unique opportunities students have to spice up their weeknights on campus. You may not realize it now, but we’re a little spoiled when it comes to these sorts of things. Other notable upcoming Performing Arts committee events include Dobet Gnahoré, a singer, dancer and percussionist from the Ivory Coast on Friday, Nov. 11, at 9 p.m. for $10, and Keyboard Conversations with Jeffery Siegel: A Beethoven Bonanza on Wednesday, Nov. 16 for free. I don’t know about you guys, but beautiful, complex music created by a guy when he was deaf plus bonanza equals good time to me. Both of these concerts will be at the historic Union Theater and you can buy your tickets online (search “Wisconsin Union Theater”) or at the box office on Park Street on the west end of Memorial Union. Support the performing arts and give your brain cells a boost

Savion Glover may not have the same name recognition as Donald or Danny, but he has been called the future of tap, furthering the art. before finals week with WUD’s cornucopia of musical acts. Think your money is better spent on booze? You should prob-

Fashionista
By Maggie Schafer The daily cardinal
I
n a perfect world, we would all look like we stepped out of a fashion spread in Vogue. Imagine walking to class in a Burberry coat and Prada dress paired with Jeffrey Campbell shoes. Unfortunately, we are not multimillionaires or Russian super models; we are college students living on a budget and we need to know how to spend our money right. We need to keep our senses about when to splurge on that dream item and when to shop in the sales rack. Let’s start with a favorite winter essential: coats. Coats serve two very important purposes. First of all, they keep you warm throughout Madison’s painfully cold weather. Secondly, they cover almost everything else you wear and make a major impact on the overall impression of an outfit. A good coat can also greatly improve an outfit. We all have
those days where we just throw on a T-shirt and jeans. A classic trench coat can add a sophisticated touch any basic outfit. Considering you wear a coat all winter long, it is undeniably a splurge item. Another splurge item is shoes. I’ve learned this one from years of thinning soles in cheap sneakers or boots. This is especially crucial during the winter months. No one wants to walk around campus with frozen or wet feet despite how many pairs of socks you put on to compensate. You tread on these things, so they better be good quality. Not to mention, cheap shoes look cheap. Inexpensive materials and outdated styles can be spotted from a mile away. Go for a timeless, great quality shoe that will last you ages. You should save your money on dresses, skirts and blouses. As a connoisseur of these items, I find this slightly painful to say, but at the same time, one must be practical when it comes

to the art of shopping. A good dress, blouse or skirt makes a statement and therefore is memorable. Statement pieces are typically not worn often, so you need a variety of these items to keep your wardrobe interesting. As much as I would love to own 20 $300 dresses, I do have a college degree to pay for. There are plenty of reasonably priced frocks and smocks out there that look great and let you make a statement. Accessories are another item to save on. They are interchangeable and fun and quality is not important. Additionally, cheap yet trendy accessories allow you to change your look as frequently as styles change. Forever 21 has one of the greatest selections of inexpensive jewelry with simple yet cute pieces starting as low as $1.50. Trendy pieces are always an area where it’s important to save. Trendy pieces should be inexpensive items since these trends disappear almost

Maxx to scoop up the latest trends. Lastly, we will tread into the murky territory of jeans. If you are the type of person who wears tights and dresses everyday, don’t spend a months salary on designer jeans. Likewise, if you’re one of those rare and lucky girls who can slip into
a pair of skinny jeans on sale for $10 and look like a million bucks, by all means, save away! But for those of us who are not blessed with Kate Moss’s legs, the perfect pair of jeans can be hard to find. However, do not give up hope—they are out there! Put in a little extra time and money to find the jeans that will transform your body and your outfits.
Off the beaten track: Adventuring away from State Street By Katie Van Dam The daily cardinal
T
wo months into college, I’ve come to realize that some of my simplest joys come from one thing: food. When searching for the perfect school, I knew I would not be able to function if the campus didn’t offer a wide variety of restaurant options. With this in mind, Potbelly and Chipotle quickly became a quintessential part of my college criteria. Needless to say, I couldn’t contain my excitement when I visited UW-Madison for the first time and found that State Street was also bursting with a vast array of sit-down restaurant options. As we passed by each one, my mom assured me that we’d try out a few of them as soon as parents’ weekend rolled around. Until then, it’d just be me and my Chipotle burrito. When my parents finally did drive up to Madison for parents’ weekend, my mom certainly did not break her promise. We decided to try out Francesca’s al Lago, located on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard near the Capitol. I was not disappointed. Francesca’s offered a wide variety of Italian cuisine with many inventive recipes, including pizza with prosciutto, artichoke, mushroom, olives and egg. I would definitely recommend the Gnocchi Bolognese. The pasta dumplings melted in my mouth and the sauce was light and delicious. I was also thrilled to share the Bruschette con Rucola with my family. The mozzarella and tomatoes tasted extremely fresh, which was something that had been missing in my diet for the last couple of months. Then of course came the moment we all had been waiting for: Badger game day. Instead of going to the typi-
cal Buffalo Wild Wings or State Street Brats, my family and I wandered into Brocach on Capitol Square. Brocach, which I Iater found out means badger den in Gaelic, is an Irish pub and restaurant that prides itself on being authentic. It serves Irish corned beef and cabbage as well as shepherd’s pie. The atmosphere only adds to its Irish charm. The bright red building draws you in while the dark wood interior makes the restaurant a cozy place to dine. I know my family would not have wanted to be anywhere else as we all chowed down on our juicy Brocach burgers before enjoying the day watching football at Camp Randall. Brocach also recently opened up a new location on Monroe Street. The co-owner and general manager of Brocach on Monroe, Melanie Gautreau, said she is very excited about the restaurant’s new location. “We live in the neighborhood so we frequent the restaurants here often and we thought that Brocach would fit in this side of town,” Gautreau said. Brocach on Monroe takes pride in its atmosphere and Gautreau explained the restaurant strives to achieve the Irish word craic, which is the “buzz or vibe of a place.” “We want the vibe to be such that when people walk in they not only want to stay, but they want to come back again,” Gautreau said. Kathleen Mallett, a UW-Madison student and waitress at Brocach on Monroe said the restaurant is incorporating local options into the menu. “Everything at Brocach on Monroe is a lot fresher and organic, yet it is still connected to its Irish roots,” Mallett said. There are many other excel-
lent restaurants to experience in Madison. Eating at Frida Mexican Grill on State Street is the perfect way to satisfy your guacamole craving.
As Monday rolls around and parents weekend comes to end, it’s inevitably time to get back in line at the dining halls. And although you may be eating Easy
Mac for a while, it’s always handy to have a few restaurant recommendations up your sleeve for the next time your parents come into town.

opinion ASM: Internal training, funding needed dailycardinal.com
Clay Thomas Associated Students of Madison
For the past six months, the Associated Students of Madison’s 18th session has received a constant barrage of criticism from all sides pertaining to the organization’s general internal ineffectiveness. Any member of ASM knows and understands that the concerns for the organization put out by the media and general campus avenues are valid, at least to some extent. General student body members who are versed in the history of ASM also know that these concerns are not unique to this session. So how do we mitigate these issues, and stop them from reoccurring in future sessions? Internal trainings are needed to increase constitutional, multicultural and policy competency. By allocating more time and resources to training representatives and officials within ASM, we can help build a stronger student association committed to

the campus at large. Every year ASM allocates nearly $1.5 million to train the staff and members of external parties, such as registered student organizations and student service divisions such as the Unions, the University Health Services, and the recreational sports facilities in order for those organizations to function effectively. Conversely, ASM only spends around $8,000 on internal training. These students are not only put in charge of the allocation and control of $40 million in student fees, but must also outreach to the general student body of over 42,000 students, work towards great accessibility and affordability of higher education, provide services that are not provided by the university, and advocate for UW-Madison students’ interests in the creation of university, local, and state programs and laws. For the amount of work that goes into performing all of the aforementioned duties, $8,000 is a
pitiful amount of resources to put towards training an organization that has an incredible amount of yearly turnover. ASM MUST put more resources into training ASM members if they truly want the organization to function as an effective voice for students. Some would argue that increasing training for ASM officials would lead the organization to become even more internally focused, however this is flawed logic for several reasons. First, it is important to realize that much of the time wasted on internal policies during Student Council meetings is a direct result of a general lack of knowledge on the history of internal affairs and the proper way to go about changing and improving internal policy. Secondly, the training that ASM would provide would be available for student groups in conjunction with internal members, bringing even more ASM services to the student body at large. Lastly, ASM
Letter: Proposed XL oil pipeline funds better spent on clean energy Janel Alters the young progressives
A couple of months ago, if you had asked my what the Keystone XL Pipeline is, I couldn’t have told you. And why should I? America’s dependence on oil makes oil pipelines and oil imports a normal part of American conversation. Although we might not question a new pipeline that travels across a large portion of the United States, we should rethink our feelings on pipelines in the US. The proposed pipeline would begin in Canada and make its way through the United States, exiting in Texas at the Gulf of Mexico. This would create a pipeline with an international port, something which would help Canada export more of its tar sands oil. TransCanada, the company that runs the pipeline, says it would be the safest pipeline ever built. Its predecessor, the Keystone Oil
Pipeline, regulated by the same company, had 12 leaks in its first year alone. As we become more dependant on oil, and the transport of this oil domestically, we must consider the environmental costs of this increase.
Instead of another pipeline, the money ... could be spent on creating renewable energy in the US.
The Deepwater Horizon spill, and more recently the Yellowstone River oil spill, show the risk of oil transport and the need for better regulation. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found the report on the Keystone XL Pipeline regulations inadequate, yet certain members of Congress fought for expediting the process
of allowing the Keystone XL Pipeline. Without proper regulation of future pipelines our environment is at further risk. America needs to reduce its dependence on nonrenewable energy sources, and move to cleaner energy options. Instead of another pipeline, the money spent on creating the Keystone XL, could be spent on creating renewable energy in the U.S., such as wind and hydroelectric power. Why risk another harmful leak when we can instead form a reliance on energy that we can count on in the future. If someone comes up to you and asks you your opinion on the Keystone XL Pipeline, what will you say? Will you allow our dependence on oil to increase or stand for a change to clean, renewable sources of energy? Janel Alters is an Activist Officer for The Young Progressives.

ASM has come under intense scrutiny this semester for what many student organizations see as too much internal focus. representatives would be able to use the skills they take from increased training to increase the value of the Wisconsin Experience. This in turn would increase the power of the student body in decisions pertaining to UW-Madison students on and off campus, and implement the Wisconsin Idea
to the absolute fullest. This article is endorsed by ASM Diversity Committee Chair Tangela Roberts, SSFC Representatives Justin Bloesch and Arturo Diaz and Student Council Representatives Niko Magallon, Clay Thomas and Tia Nowack. Please send all feedback to opinion@dailycardinal.com.

Men’s Soccer
Badgers draw Michigan in first round By Dylan Flaks the daily cardinal
With the regular season over, crunch time has begun for the Wisconsin men’s soccer team (4-2-0 Big Ten, 9-7-2 overall) who are the number three seed in the Big Ten tournament, which starts for the Badgers Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Badgers will face the tournament host Michigan Wolverines (1-5-0, 5-13-1) in a rematch of an early October game. Wisconsin was awarded the bad fortune of having to play the home team in the first round of the tournament. The Badgers will have to deal with a home crowd and a well-rested Michigan team hungry for a win. The Wolverines will try to avenge their 2-1 loss against UW in the regular season.
In the first meeting between these two teams, junior Badger midfielder Tomislav Zadro and senior forward Josh Thiermann scored one goal each. The two goals came on headers, and that was not surprise as Michigan sports a slightly undersized roster, especially compared with the Badgers who start a very tall lineup. Since that meeting, the Badgers have a .500 record while the Wolverines have dropped four of six. With neither team especially hot, it comes down to match-ups yet again. And again Wisconsin looks to have the upper hand. Michigan shoots an even lower percentage than they did in the first game at a dismal 7.3 percent. The Badgers combat that with a shot percentage of 11.5. The Wolverines do
take a lot more shots than the Badgers, but the Badgers can build on their last game against Penn State where they took a high volume of shots for the first time. Wisconsin started the last game against Michigan with a foot on the gas pedal and they should do the same in Wednesday’s game. It would do the Badgers good to take shots in hopes of getting corner kicks and take advantage of the fact that the Wolverines foul more than the Badgers do. If Wisconsin can get corners and free kicks, there is no reason they should not be able to bang one in from a set piece. Wisconsin was ousted in the early rounds of the Big Ten tournament last year. But in his second year, head coach John

Senior forward Josh Thiermann scored once against Michigan during the Badgers’ regular season matchup in Ann Arbor. Trask has effectively turned the program around, restoring the winning ways of Wisconsin soccer from the mid ‘90s. If this
team can get hot there is nothing stopping them from winning this game and going deep into the tournament.
Penn State scandal violates human morality and law max sternberg stern words
A
fter a year of NCAA violations ripping through some of the nation’s preeminent college football programs, the latest scandal involving the Penn State football program takes the disgust over what happened at Ohio State and Miami to a completely different level. Penn State didn’t just violate NCAA bylaws (in fact, they probably didn’t violate those at all), they violated our nation’s laws and more importantly, the laws of human morality. It is troubling enough that a Division I defensive coordinator would use his position of power to allgedly take advantage of young boys and satisfy his pedophilic desires, but it is perhaps more troubling that those around the program would ignore this man’s transgressions in the hope of continuing to win football games. For nearly a decade. Yes, nearly 10 years passed from the time an unsuspecting graduate assistant first witnessed former Nittany Lion defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky sexually assaulting a young boy in the team’s shower area and reported his frightening observation to program superiors, specifically to head coach Joe Paterno. Over those ten years, Sandusky was able to walk the face of the earth in freedom, freedom to continue ruining the lives of young children whose traumatic experiences would no doubt haunt them for as long as they live. Why? Because allegations like this, concerning a person, Sandusky, tapped by many at one point to be the likely successor to the legendary Paterno, would spell disaster for the Nittany Lion program and would tarnish the legacy of the great JoePa. Because allegations like this would hurt recruiting and make it difficult for Penn State to continue fielding a team that could
compete at the highest level on a national stage. Because allegations like this threatened to take Penn State back to the pre-Paterno days during which State College was simply a cloistered town in central Pennsylvania that just happened to house a state university. It is sickening just having to imagine how this thought process played itself out, how despite these allegations making their way to the desk of Penn State President Graham Spainer’s desk, the only result was Sandusky’s ban on use of PSU football facilities. No police report. No further investigation. Perhaps even more sickening is the reality that Penn State probably is not the only program in today’s landscape of college football that would choose the same path of immorality in order to save their program. College football has become too much of a money-maker, too much of a measuring stick of the viability of major research universities that despite the sickening nature of what went on, I do not think it is crazy to conclude that other programs out there would choose the same course of inaction. Football has become larger than life and that is a dangerous reality that we as Americans must reevaluate. It is sad that we have to hear comments such as “Well, Tuscaloosa was destroyed and people died, but at least BryantDenny Stadium was spared from damage.” And yes, I did not pull that out of thin air, someone actually said that on the set of “College Gameday” Saturday. It is sickening that despite the evidence showing how NFL players across the board are dying at a significantly younger age than the general population, it is more important that we keep the game hard-hitting and exciting. And it is sickening that a university would think for even a second to hide away the transgressions of one of its own in order to maintain the football program’s ability to recruit at a high level.
What has happened at Penn State will forever tarnish one of the game’s great personalities in Joe Paterno. Whether or not Paterno is fired (which he should be, but likely won’t), JoePa will now be remembered for allowing this abuse to occur under his watch, perhaps even more so than for his Division 1-record 409 wins. But one can only hope that this incident gives rise to a national rethinking of the role football plays in our society. One can only hope that other programs don’t simply shrug this incident off as
an isolated event because while the actual disgrace is confined to State College, the principles that led to it are prevalent throughout college athletics. Football is just a game. The spectacle with which games are conducted may seem to some as “larger than life,” but the reality is that nothing overshadows the importance of life itself. Nothing. Not even football.
