Residents question location of homeless resource day center

By Johanna Lepro-Green THE DAILY CARDINAL

Residents of the TenneyLapham neighborhood have expressed concerns over an accepted offer to purchase a property on the 1300 block of East Washington Avenue to open a permanent day shelter for the homeless.

After years of searching for a suitable site, the announcement encouraged homeless advocates.

However, area residents have questioned its proximity to a day care, residences and Lapham Elementary School, located two

Community members explore ways to end pattern of sexual assault

By Kaitlyn Veto THE DAILY CARDINAL

Community organizer Dayna Long met with area residents Monday to reflect on the “Take Back the Bike Path” protest that took place just over two weeks ago.

The meeting, largely held to receive feedback from the public, continued a discourse on the recent highly debated topic of sexual assault and rape culture.

Long, creator of the “Take Back the Bike Path” march, which amassed over 1,000 protesters, is now focusing on how to turn a protest into a movement and continue the conversation around prevalent assault.

Stressing the need to go beyond

the “Band-Aid fixes,” such as clearing the brush from the bike path and implementing a police patrol, Long spoke of the need to look at the bigger picture surrounding rape culture and victim blaming.

“I heard a lot of people saying things like ‘If she hadn’t been on the bike path at this hour of the night, that never would have happened,’” Long said. “We can do better than that … We should be teaching that it’s never a woman’s fault. It’s never a person’s fault they were raped. It’s always on the rapist.”

One in four undergraduate female students reported experiencing sexual misconduct in some way, according to the Association

of American Universities Campus Climate Survey on Sexual Assault and Sexual Misconduct that featured data from UW-Madison.

Many people are uneducated about the presence of rape culture and the frequency that sexual assaults happen in the community, Long said.

“There are a lot of people in our community who don’t know about rape in its usual form,”Long stated, referring to the reality that most cases of sexual assault are not as violently brutal as the incident that took place on the Capitol bike path.

Due to the assault’s severity, it is

blocks away.

During a “Chat with Chief Koval” forum on Thursday, Mike Ryanjoy, a resident of the Tenney-Lapham neighborhood, questioned Madison Police Department Chief Mike Koval about the decision to accept the offer without consulting residents and business owners in the area.

“It skips over a lot of process that could have taken place, built social trust and engaged people to think more creative-

University police investigate robbery in residence hall A reported aggravated assault and strong-arm robbery occurred Sept. 30 in a university residence hall, according to a UW-Madison Police Department incident report.

A UW-Madison student reported the incident to UWPD Monday.

She told police a man entered her room in Elizabeth Waters Residence Hall around 12:45 p.m. and knocked her unconscious.

She added that she recalled someone digging through her backpack while she was lying on the ground and reported cash and other personal property missing.

UWPD is currently investigating the case, searching for a suspect that the survivor described as a 6-feet tall white male with a stocky build, last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with the hood up and black gloves, according to the report.

The department sent an email to all students warning them of the attack in compliance with the Clery Act, a federal law that requires the university to inform students of crimes on or near campus.

Homeless man arrested for attempted sexual assault Madison police arrested a 43-year-old homeless man for attempted sexual assault early Saturday morning.

Cedric D. May attempted to sexually assault another homeless woman who was sleeping on the 100 block of State Street, Madison Police Department Public Information Officer Joel

DeSpain said in a Monday statement. The victim told police a stranger got under her blankets but she got him to leave. Prior to the incident, the suspect had offered her money for sex, but she refused.

Police arrested May near upper State Street Saturday afternoon after he tried to run

away. He was in possession of several wrapped packages of cocaine and marijuana.

May was arrested on charges of attempted third-degree sexual assault, solicitation and possession with intent to deliver cocaine and marijuana, according to the incident report.

A 15-year-old Hawkeye fan was attacked by a Badger fan after the Wisconsin loss to Iowa Saturday, according to a UW-Madison Police Department incident report.

While the victim was leaving Camp Randall wearing Hawkeyes gear, he was mildly teasing his Badger friend about the loss when an unidentified Wisconsin fan punched him in the face, according to the report.

The attacker fled into the crowd after the incident and UWPD is still looking for the suspect. He

was last seen leaving the south stadium ramp from the upper deck.

UWPD Public Information Officer Marc Lovicott said the department will not stand for this kind of behavior at future Badger games.

“We pride ourselves, as Badger fans, to be respectful to all fans— great sportsmanship is what makes Badger game days one of the best and most well-known traditions in the country,” Lovicott said in the report.

Newest Badger class totals more than 6,000 This fall, 6,270 new freshmen began calling UW-Madison home, contributing to a fall 2015 total enrollment of 43,405 students, a slight increase from 2014, according to a university release.

Of the new class, about 3,000— roughly half—didn’t have to travel far to get to Madison, as they are Wisconsin natives.

First generation college students make up 15.4 percent of the newest class, according to the release.

Although students enrolled this year come from more than 120 countries worldwide and all 50 states, only 10 percent of the class of 2019 identify as either African-American, American Indian, southeast Asian-American,

Hispanic or Latino.

This semester UW-Madison also took in the largest number of transfer students campus has seen since 2011. Most of the 1,269 students transferred from other Wisconsin institutions, either other four-year universities or technical schools like Madison College.

Currently, Long and other community organizers are discussing a number of next steps, including a potential panel of speakers to educate the public on these issues of sexual assault and rape culture.

UW-Madison graduate school alumnus, colleague win Nobel Prize in Medicine UW-Madison alumnus William C. Campbell has been awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine Monday for his part in a medical discovery.

Campbell, who received both his master’s and doctorate from UW-Madison, and fellow researcher Satoshi Omura discovered the drug avermectin, earlier versions of which of worked to dramatically decrease various tropical diseases, according to a university release.

Tens of millions of people in tropical regions have been affected by river blindness and elephantiasis, a severe swelling of the limbs; the scientists’ discovery works to lessen these effects.

Campbell and Omura studied various cell cultures of the soil bacterium Streptomyces, realizing that a piece of one of the cultures resisted parasites in both domestic and farm animals, according to the release.

The researchers then modified the drug in 1982 into its current form, ivermectin, to work in humans, which limits the growth of microscopic parasitic larvae that cause potentially fatal diseases in the tropics.

UW-Madison pathobiological sciences professor Tim Yoshino said river blindness is “nearly eradicated,” due to Campbell’s discoveries and the Carter Center, which worked with the drug manufacturer Merck to distribute over 225 million free doses of ivermectin.

“Ivermectin is absolutely critical to the effort to control these diseases and has helped millions of people in the developing world,” UW-Madison parasitologist Bruce Christensen said in the release. “The populations that needed this drug the most are in some of the most destitute regions of the world.”

Representatives from 12 Pacific Rim countries finalized one of the most sweeping trade deals in decades Monday, drawing statements of support and criticism from Wisconsin’s congressional delegation.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership, championed by President Barack Obama, would standardize labor and environmental regulations and reduce trade barriers between countries in Asia and North America.

“When more than 95 percent of our potential customers live outside our borders, we can’t let countries like China write the rules of the global economy,” Obama said in a statement. “We should write those rules, opening new markets to American prod-

ucts while setting high standards for protecting workers and preserving our environment.”

Proponents of the deal say it would open up new markets for U.S. goods. U.S. Rep. Reid Ribble, R-Wis., said he is optimistic the measure would create more avenues for dairy products made in Wisconsin.

“I am very hopeful that this deal will give Wisconsinites the ability to sell more of our goods overseas, helping us trade more of the products of our strong manufacturing industry with the rest of the world and hopefully opening up new markets for our cheese, milk, and butter,” Ribble said in a statement.

Other lawmakers criticized the proposal, saying it is detrimental to American workers. U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., called for the release of the deal’s text, saying the negotia-

tion process lacked transparency.

“Past trade deals have been a disaster for American workers, so it is imperative Congress rigorously reviews this deal to ensure the American people are not being taken for a ride yet again,” Pocan said in a statement.

Senate candidate Russ Feingold, who is running against U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., to regain the seat he occupied until 2010, also expressed skepticism of the deal.

“Wisconsin’s working families see the Trans-Pacific Partnership for what it is, a raw deal written in secret for corporate interests at the expense of Wisconsin jobs,” Feingold said in a statement.

The deal needs Congressional approval but lawmakers can only vote to approve or disapprove the deal, not amend it.

When asked whether or not Koval approved of the purchase, Koval mentioned no one had made the public safety implications aware to him, and he had not been consulted or asked yet to begin security planning.

Koval explained the location was the most appropriate for a permanent homeless shelter in the Central District area. He said other buildings of similar size and magnitude were too far away from downtown to be useful to the homeless community, who sometimes struggle to find transportation.

“However, we might as well acknowledge the elephant in the room.” Koval said. “I have no doubt that when you have a center for that purported purpose, it’s going to get calls for police service. I think as a constituent you have every right to ask these questions. It disheartens me to

Avett Brothers sell out Breese Stadium

By Amileah Sutliff The Daily Cardinal

A field of 7,500 knit-clad folks, a brisk autumn night and an absorbing Avett Brothers performance is an equation for an October utopia.

The Avett Brothers, and their sea of fans, christened Breese Stevens Field on Friday night in the venue’s first-ever concert that sold out in 10 minutes.

It was easy to see why the tickets were a hot commodity: The entire performance was nothing but wildly charming from the second they walked on stage. With the audience primed by two lovely sets from openers Brett Dennen and Nicole Atkins, the band opened in a lively rendition of “The D Bag Rag.” Scott and Seth Avett rushed to center stage, whimsically wailing on kazoos. As it turns out, the secret to making a field of people instantly fall in love surprisingly involves kazoos. After they had the entire crowd smiling ear-toear, they went into “Live And Die.” The tune is a simple, yet beautiful, tribute to the common humanity among us all, and their performance genuinely sold every word.

Their chummy brotherly vibes seemed universally contagious. I thought the only thing on earth that would make me want to put my arm around a stranger and sing a song was “Varsity” à la Badger games, but The Avett Brothers managed to prove me wrong.

It’s rare to see a band as tight as The Avett Brothers; each member had a keenly escalated sense of the subtleties of the others, naturally anticipating every move and note.

They worked tightly in tandem, many parts of a flawless whole.

But even in the midst of their precision, each song contained the organic drive of a drunken waltz.

The real artistry of the show came in the range they demonstrated in captivating each moment. For every time they mastered a fullblown high-energy instrumental jam, they gave the crowd chills with a tender a cappella ending that could straight-up make your leg hair grow.

The show was as present and pure as the fall air itself, but convincingly grounded in the Americana roots of our past. The Avett Brothers are skilled storytellers. They had my overwhelmingly Northern self wondering if I could get away with things like calling everyone “darlin’”–I suddenly because very aware of the lack of sweet tea in my life.

At one point I began calculating the plausibility of dropping out of college to buy a house with a massive porch in the South and have eight children with names like “Susannah Mae.” I slowly grew nostalgic for a life I’ve never lived with the twang of each Americana melody. In just a couple hours, The Avett Brothers built a transporting narrative, took a chilly corner of Wisconsin and constructed a warm, Southern realty.

Bringing the Beef to West Coast

By Denzel Taylor The Daily Cardinal

He lives now in the ever-sunny Los Angeles, where stars are made and others fall by the wayside, still fighting for their shot. In the midst of the riotous talent is Clifton Grefe, age 25, with the stage name Beef.

From a love for music as a child, to exploring his passions in college, Madison-raised rapper Beef exemplifies what it means to make leaps and bounds in doing what you love.

“I live with 30 crazy personalities from all over like Germany, Wisconsin [and] Texas,” Grefe said.

Surrounded by so much talent, Beef expressed the motivation to always improve and “one up the next one”

he meets. Over a Skype interview, the growing rapper eagerly shared his musical beginnings, what he’s learned and his plans Grefe said that music always surrounded him growing up. He first listened to his parent’s many ’70s and ’80s vinyl collections. In the cornfields of Wisconsin, music decorated his world. Eventually, the poems and lyrics at 16 years old became colorful songs for his Badger community at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The name Zooniversity, for Beef’s collaborative work with DJ producer and student Quincy Kwalae, was popularized on campus with songs like “Coastie Song” and “Teach Me How to

Bucky,” the latter becoming an iconic campus statement. From Beef’s sophomore year to graduation, the two artists excited the Madison campus, even managing to get former Chancellor Carolyn “Biddy” Martin to make a video appearance.

After successfully featuring his music and establishing his name, it was time for change. “I still had no [record] deals and made the decision to go back solo,” Grefe said. This decision for change also meant diving deeper into discovering his personal sound.

“I enjoy writing a narrative. I have a storytelling style [and] a chance to embrace what I grew up on,” Grefe said. He went on about incor-

Grefe first tasted success in 2010 with “Teach Me How To Bucky,” which blew up on campus.

porating a taste of rock, funk, and jazz—memorable from his parent’s records—into his new sound, much of which we can enjoy on Beef’s current project Chapter 2: Double Major. A few promotional singles can be checked out on YouTube, like “Smörgasbord,” which features Beef’s fun and clever style. The children song “Apples and Bananas” is the background to Beef’s lyrics, “I like to eat rappers and my stanzas.”

Beef then explained how LA really impacts his plans for developing his video production capabilities for the new project.

“I was never on an actual set until I got out here. It’s good being there, seeing how everyone interacts. I learn the most efficient way to make films and organize people. Folks are always shooting videos out here,” Grefe said—it’s clear that the growing artist continues to seek improvement.

Grefe further explained that with ambitions for the new album, he really wants to hit home in Wisconsin. He stayed in tune with the recent struggles of art communities whom he often shared a stage with in college. The recent death of UW-Madison alumni and First Wave scholar Andrew Thomas, aka Phonetic One, has Grefe focused on the possible impact of his work.

Alongside the recent deaths of his friends Spencer Zuelsdorf, a growing producer and partner in music, and graduate Kelsey Olson, an admirable classmate, Grefe created the song “Outer Space.” Grefe dived into his music to mourn and cope, but also encouraged others mourning the losses. For these moments of sorrow, Grefe stated, “Part of [Outer Space] is about using your craft. Pour it into your craft. I want to encourage First Wave to use their creative talents.”

Compiled with the fun music, Grefe definitely brings deeper subject matter to his list of songs, not only through his tributes to the struggles of death, but also in memory of the dark spots in his past. Grefe talked about the struggles of growing up while diagnosed as bipolar, but to him, the adversity only makes his success sweeter.

Grefe continually works to improve himself and encourage his community. He’s an example for many who want to continue growing and doing what they love.

Thumbs up to our fellow Badger showing those in LA how to Bucky.

Music scenes are fickle things.

Artists in New York or Los Angeles will constantly create new music that zooms through the general population like fashion trends.

If it’s already been done, it’s not worth talking about. Metropolitan areas with more than a million people have so much creative manpower crammed into such a small area that, by sheer luck, the right people can come together and make a sound the world has never heard before.

Madison has the reputation for being a great music city. It’s been placed comfortably on many online rankings as one of America’s best places for live music. Almost any night of the week, a great musician is performing in one of the various venues here. To be able to see Cashmere Cat and LVL UP on the same Friday night is a great privilege of which many Madisonians take advantage. However, many of these artists are not local, but coming through the city on a tour or a one-off show. The great schedule of shows in Madison only tells half the story, specifically the half that can be measured objectively and presented to the rest of the world in the form of a “Best Music Cities” listicle.

For the record In our Oct. 5 issue, the Childbirth Record Routine was incorrectly attributed to Mary Sullivan. The writer was Rose Lundy.

Being on an isthmus, Madison is a city with a literal choke point that divides the population culturally and economically. The creatives of the Willy Street neighborhood have no reason to traverse to the west side of Madison, which has become a haven for professionals and wealthy, predominantly white, families. Oftentimes they wouldn’t even have the means, with bus commutes being more hassle than boon. This creates a very segregated cultural climate, with suburbanites staying in the suburbs and the hip crowd staying at the local bar.

But with one of the best public universities in the world and over 40,000 students, there must be some creative drive from the student population of Madison.

Unfortunately, Madison suffers from creative brain drain as much as it does from academic brain drain. Because Madison doesn’t have the environment to foster a music scene worth sticking around for, many creatives use the city as a starting point, with eyes and aspirations set on bigger plans.

The position of the University of Wisconsin-Madison also leaves students in a musical purgatory. While close to venues like the Majestic, the university puts students just out of range for venues like Mickey’s Tavern, where true local musicians often strut their sounds. Electronic music-wise, the bars of State Street are more concerned with selling as much alcohol as possible than fostering an environment for dancing. It’s much more profitable to play viral songs that drunk patrons will

know every lyric to than to have a DJ play music that gets people to put their Long Islands down and take up the dance floor.

Some of the most exciting innovations in music started in the most improbable places. Detroit was in economic shambles when techno began to dominate the city.

Abandoned warehouses that used to represent the heart and soul of the American automotive industry were being repurposed to become hubs for a futuristic sound that nobody saw coming. Some might argue that the disparity in Detroit led to the heart and soul that can be heard in even the most robotic of Detroit techno tracks.

The final blow to Madison’s viability as a music-producing city is ironically how good it is. Madison tops lists for cities with the best quality of life more often than it tops lists for its music scene. Bike paths, great restaurants and friendly people are some of the many reasons that Madison is often recommended as a weekend getaway city, where visitors can get trashed on State Street, cheese curds in one hand and a Spotted Cow in the other.

From Schenk-Atwood to Sunset Village, Madisonians can look around their community and be completely content with the way things are. But in the end, what fosters creation is a yearning for things to change, not for them to stay the same.

Do you think Madison’s music scene can survive, despite the geographic divide? Let Jake know at jakey.witz@gmail.com.

The other half is the local scene, which rarely gets discussed as much as the glamorous shows that dominate Songkick and The Isthmus. The question arises: Does Madison have the population and the spirit to become the habitat for a thriving local music scene?

Population-wise, Madison does not nearly have the numbers to run with the big guys like nearby Chicago and Minneapolis.

Almost 250,000 people claim the area around the four lakes as their home, chump change when compared to other cities that dominate the “Best Music Scene” rankings.

Statistically, the odds of a dedicated ensemble of musicians coming together to create something big is significantly more unlikely than somewhere like Wicker Park, Chicago, a neighborhood with more than 50,000 citizens in a single square mile. That’s onefifth of the Madison population condensed into 1/80 of the size.

In Chicago, ideas and people are bouncing around in such a small area that two are bound to collide and create a new sound on an atomic level.

Aside from sheer numbers, Madison’s weak public transportation does the arts scene no favors.

The busses serve some utility when it comes to getting to a specific, planned-out destination, but they don’t have the flexibility of more developed systems like the CTA in Chicago. You can’t hop on a bus at a moment’s notice when you hear of a house show in a different neighborhood.

South Hippo Campus

By Ellie Herman The Daily Cardinal

The Minnesotan indie-pop band Hippo Campus released their second EP “South” Oct. 2, capturing all my spare time, so consider this a formal apology to my bosses and professors for the work I avoided.

The five-track EP includes songs the band had previously written before the debut of their first EP “Bashful Creatures” in February 2015. The songs were originally set to be a part of a full album, which was never released.

The band streamed their EP early Sept. 28 on SoundCloud, giving fans a few days head start before the album was released for pur-

chase and on Spotify Friday.

“Close To Gold” kicks off the EP, with Jake “Turntan” Luppen’s raspy vocals following an enticing single guitar strum. It’s not long before the rest of the bandmates join in—guitarist Nathan “Stitches” Stocker, bassist Zach “Espo” Sutton and drummer Whistler “Beans” Allen. “Close To Gold” shows off the band’s cohesive sound when other bandmates join in with background chanting toward the end of the song.

Every other track on the album features a slower build before the vocals, like the first single and title track, “South.” It starts off with a cheerful, light guitar melody that causes an involuntary head bob, one that’s most recognizable in straight-backed hipsters at a concert. Luppen demonstrates the raspy side of his voice again, singing, “You go down south, south,” no less than half a dozen times before Allen and Stocker join in. The song is perfect for both a single and a road trip, as it’s not long before its repetitive lyrics are stuck in your head for

the next 12 plus hours. “South” continues to build, as Luppen belts out, “Streetlights talk the same way my mother told me/ I walk the same way my father told me/ Back straight and chest out, just like a soldier.” All along, the band chants, “You go down south, south.” The song features a sort of controlled chaos by the end, the vocals and instruments revving up before it ends and fades out.

To throw back to an original song from Sesame Street, listeners can play a “one of these things is not like the other” game with the final track of the EP, “The Halocline.” A mantra of attempting to transition into adulthood, the song clocks in at six minutes and 23 seconds, with the first lyrics not echoing in for a minute and 15 seconds, a minute longer than the intro in “South.”

While the rest of the EP includes dance-inducing beats with a strong bass drum and drumstickclicking, “The Halocline” induces a haunting vibe not heard in other songs or on “Bashful Creatures.”

The slow tempo is melodic, leaving listeners on their toes as they

wait to see when the song will pick up. Luppen repeats, “This is our home/ This is our only way” in a smooth, quieter voice when suddenly Allen slams on the drums, the guitars and bass pick up and Luppen starts yelling the lyrics, without bursting your eardrums.

Before long the song retreats back into an eerie vibe like the beginning, fading out with hints of a saxophone fleeting through until the very end.

While “The Halocline” is a bit of a wild card on the EP, it breaks the curse too many artists fall victim to on their second album: a repetitive sound. The band’s overall sound has matured since “Bashful Creatures,” which Luppen described in a Sept. 10 interview explaining that “some songs are different in the fact that there are some darker themes that play.” Hippo Campus transitioned seamlessly into their second EP, still recognizable by their original fanbase, while also appealing to a new listener.

Between the Sheets sex and the student body

How to ask hunny about STIs without killing the good vibez Anna Welch sex columnist

W

hen it comes to getting between the sheets with a Badger babe, there are a few things we should know about the person we’re bangin’. We should know they want to fondle our goodies just as much as we want to fondle theirs, we should know what birth control or other safer sex methods we’ll be using and we should most definitely be aware of each other’s STI status.

As we hopefully know from week one of Between the Sheets, asking for consent can be oh so sexy. Talking about birth control and barrier methods requires some dialogue, but if we just established that all parties are eager to get it on this isn’t too tricky either. Now for that third one…

How the hell does one go about asking about “infections” or “diseases” without coming across as judgmental or untrusting? Won’t asking when the last time someone was tested on top of what birth control/barrier methods they want to use totally kill the mood? This Badger says no way, José!

Just as we’ve learned how to ask about what birth control we’ll be using we also need to ask about our partner’s STI status. Only some people have the ability to accidentally create other humans, but everyone has equal opportunity for passing along/being passed an STI. Before we can learn how to bring it up to a partner we need to know what we’re talking about when we say STI, or sexually transmitted infection, and what getting tested means.

The STI images many of us have seen are worst-case scenario snapshots of people’s junk designed to scare us away from “touching each other.” It would be silly to say that STIs aren’t a big deal because in reality no one wants to deal with them, but it’s also important to know that of the handful of STIs we need to be super conscious of every single one is either treatable or curable.

Chlamydia is the most common STI on UW-Madison’s campus. Chlamydia is a curable bacterial infection and all we need to take care of it are some antibiotics that typically cost less than 15 dollars. It is passed along by fluids so condoms are over 98 percent effective! If we’re experiencing an itch we just can’t scratch or it feels like

Edward Scissorhands is attempting to escape from our urethras while peeing, getting tested would be a great idea. Chlamydia is basically the poster child for getting tested because even though it’s curable as hell it remains the number one cause of infertility amongst American women.

After chlamydia, the most common STIs on campus are molluscum contagiosum (a viral skin infection), human papillomavirus (HPV) in third and herpes rings in at number four.

Getting an STI test at UHS means being tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea by peeing into a cup or performing a self-swab of the vagina. Any student can walk into UHS at any time or schedule a same-day appointment to be tested. Testing should happen every three months for people who are switching partners and two to three times a year for people who are not switching partners.

The only way to be sure of our own STI status is to get tested regularly. The only way to be informed about our partner’s STI status is to ask them about it.

Here’s the deal on asking about STI status: it’s super important and not asking about it and having something passed along to us is

going to be a bigger deal than possibly making things awkward.

While the subject can seem daunting to bring up it doesn’t have to be a buzz kill. Keeping things casual and genuine is key. If we seem nervous and avoidant of the topic when asking our partner about this our partner is almost certainly going to feel the same way. Phrasing is key; asking, “Hey, when was the last time you were tested?” rather than, “Yo umm… you don’t like… have anything, right?” is going to determine how the whole rest of the interaction unfolds. The first example is clear, to the point, and doesn’t feel stigmatizing while the second one isn’t clear and makes it almost impossible for a partner to feel comfortable answering.

Another effective option is to offer up our clear STI status first and then ask if our partner is in the same boat. This might look something like, “So I got tested two weeks ago and I’m good to go, have you been tested recently?” This breaks the ice and makes it clear that being safe is important and it also alleviates a bit of the pressure for the askee.

As the person asking the about STI status we need to be aware that the answer we get

may very well be that the person hasn’t been tested or that it’s fine because they “always use condoms,” and we need to be prepared for what we want to do in this situation. Not being tested doesn’t mean all activity necessarily has to stop, but that’s a personal decision that should be made ahead of time.

Tell me again:

STIs are no big thang as long as we don’t try to pretend they don’t exist. This means talk about them, get tested for them, and use safer sex supplies. When we ask about them make sure to do it in a way that doesn’t come across as though we’re accusing our partner of being a one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater. Decide what to say if we don’t get the response we were necessarily looking for and understand that others may try to push us one way or the other on this one because being mad horny sometimes makes us throw caution to the wind; whatever the decision is, stick to it.

How labels ruined my Greek experience Marisa Bernstein Opinion Columnist

C

ongratulations! You have all survived the beginning of another school year at UW-Madison. For freshmen, that meant waiting in line until your calf-high sock tan lines fade just to board the elevator on move-in day. For others, it meant lingering on that treacherous intersection on Charter Street to see if you could score some free tuition.

And, for some, the new school year meant Greek recruitment.

As a sophomore living in close proximity to the southeast dorms, I was often caught up in the traffic that sorority recruitment produces. There was an abundance of girls with name tags laced around their necks and snacks shoved deep into their purses (don’t be ashamed

ladies, we all do it), each filled with hopes of being sorted into their favorite sorority house.

Before I delve too deep, I should say that this is not an article for or against Greek life as a whole. I have many friends involved in Greek life who thoroughly enjoy it, and I think that it is an excellent opportunity to meet people and get involved. I pledged as a freshman, but after a few weeks decided that Greek life was simply not for me.

There were a few reasons that prompted my withdrawal from the Greek system, but the most intolerable was the ridiculous stigmas associated with the name of my particular sorority.

I was sick of telling people the name of my house just to receive “I heard those girls are super cliquey” or “I hear they throw

crazy parties.” Negative or positive, the reactions were absurd.

How could someone assume they knew so much about me just from that nugget of information? Sharing that part of my identity became a weight, even though I knew that was not the intention of the organization or its members. So, I had enough of being labeled, and that encouraged my Greek retirement.

At the beginning of this year, I met a fellow sophomore and quickly struck up conversation with her. We engaged in some small talk (we are both from Minnesota and we both really love dogs), which always seems to include the question, “so where are you living this year?”

When prompted with this question, she replied, “In my sorority house, don’t judge me!”

She was so hesitant to reveal that she was in a sorority for the sake of being labeled in accordance with the existing stigmas that one might have of that particular house or Greek life in general. It was as if sharing her sorority with me put a cap on the conversation about her identity. But why is saying, “I’m a DG/AXO/KKG/WXYZ” different than saying “I’m an opinion columnist for The Daily Cardinal?”

Each of these statements are just pieces of an identity. Neither can accurately portray the complete individuality of any given person.

Guess what? She isn’t just a sorority girl. She loves to sing, she has a really cool job working at the Chazen Art Museum and she loves to study communications and human behavior. Had we finished our conversation at

Greek life, I would have never known how much we have in common. She isn’t just her sorority’s reputation or stigmas; she is a multi-dimensional individual with a life outside of her house.

My point is this: A sorority, a fraternity, a club, a major or any other one single activity or passion does not define a person.

We must stop associating organizations with single-sentence reputations, and stop assuming that because your opinion of Greek life is X, every member of a Greek organization is X. Gather all of the information before you develop an opinion.

Property owners should be able to exercise control tim Heinzel Opinion Columnist

G

iving private businesses the right to “discriminate” (control who they conduct business with) isn’t about discrimination—it’s about private property rights. Fighting for social justice, equality, and tolerance is a very noble cause, but there comes a point when passing legislation to attempt to make things right actually makes things wrong.

Proponents of anti-discrimination laws are correct in some instances. Public, governmental entities don’t have a right to discriminate. If they are going to rule over everyone, they need to treat everyone equally. Private businesses, however, are different.

They aren’t claiming control over anyone, so they have no inherent obligations to anyone.

Business transactions need to be consensual, which means that both parties agree to the transaction. When operating under

these voluntary business agreements, both parties have equal power. Both can veto a transaction, and both must agree in order for a transaction to occur.

Allowing private businesses to “discriminate” simply allows them to hold just as much power as their customers. If the customer can demand and receive a product from a business (which occurs under laws that ban private discrimination), then the business has no power in relation to the customer. Transactions need to be fair, not lopsided in whatever direction is politically favored. We wouldn’t make it so customers always have to enter a business or buy something from that business, so we shouldn’t make it so businesses have to allow everyone to enter or allow everyone to buy.

It isn’t immediately obvious why any businesses would even want to discriminate. Most businesses simply seek to make a profit, and, primarily, the best

way to do that is to be accepting of all customers. Some businesses, however, put certain principles above profit. That means they’re willing to turn away certain customers if serving that customer would mean going against their beliefs. Other businesses have high enough demand to the point where they can ration their goods or services according to non-price factors without affecting their profits.

The most prominent example of anti-discrimination laws being an issue involves businesses with religious owners. For example, a cake shop in Colorado was forced to make a wedding cake for a gay couple after the state found their refusal to be in violation of antidiscrimination laws. Additionally, the state also required that all employees attend “sensitivity training” and that the store submit detailed sales reports to the state for two years in order to avoid future violations. This law put the rights of the gay couple

above those of the store—the transaction was no longer voluntary, and the store lost their power to veto the transaction.

In 2013, a bakery in Oregon refused to bake a cake for a lesbian couple. This past July, a court ordered the owners to pay $135,000 in “emotional damages” to the couple they refused service to. It is inconceivable how a fine of any amount would be appropriate for something as innocuous as declining to provide a service. If anything, the emotional damage from being fined for exercising your private property rights and religion would be more severe than the emotional damage of having to find a different store to bake a cake for you.

Advocates of anti-discrimination laws see Colorado and Oregon’s actions as success stories. Their concept of equality and justice isn’t about both sides having equal rights (the ability to say yes or no to a transaction) — it’s about getting businesses

to do what they want and punishing them severely when that doesn’t happen. Private transactions should be voluntary. It’s that simple. If one party doesn’t like the other’s reasoning for not completing a transaction, they should move on and find someone else who is more than pleased to do business with them.

There was a time when the playing field was unequal and riddled with discrimination, but during that time, the government was the one discriminating. Now, that wrong has been overcorrected for. It’s time to restore truly equal rights and reject lopsided rights that came about as an affirmative action repayment for past injustices.

We need to restore the rights of private businesses by repealing anti-discrimination laws.

Catholic Church struggles to retain LGBT-supporting millennials Jack Kelly Opinion Columnist

A

historic and highly controversial event occurred on Saturday, Oct. 2: Monsignor Krysztof Olaf Charamsa, a Polish priest who served with the Vatican’s doctrinal arm, was released from his duties within the Vatican.

This dismissal came following Charamsa’s public announcement of his homosexuality.

The announcement came via a webcast in which Charamsa stood side by side with his partner. During the video conference, Charamsa called upon Pope Francis to revise the Catholic doctrine on homosexuality. The current doctrine considers same-sex relationships to be sinful, a position the majority of the world is well aware of.

Monsignor Charmasa’s announcement did not come without a great deal of thought. He stated in an interview that his “decision on ‘coming out’ is a very personal decision in the homopho-

bic world of the Catholic Church.

It has been very difficult and very hard.” The announcement also came on the eve of the Synod of Bishops, a three-week meeting of bishops from around the world during which issues facing Catholic families are addressed.

When asked if the timing of this event had any effect on his decision to make his sexuality known publicly, he responded: “The timing is not intended to pressurize anyone, but maybe [to create] a good pressure, in fact a Christian participation, a Christian voice that wants to bring to the synod the response of the homosexual believers to the questioning of Pope Francis.”

His mention of Pope Francis is especially interesting. Even though the pope is showing no desire to adjust the church’s teaching on homosexuality, one cannot forget that the pope famously said “Who am I to judge?” in reference to gay priests who seek to do God’s will in 2013. The pope would seem once again to be the most progressiveminded leader that the church has

ever seen. He met privately with a transgender man in Spain this past January and reportedly met with a longtime friend who is homosexual in his recent visit to the United States.

So here is where the question arises: Is it time for the church to review and revise their teachings and views on homosexuality? Even though the self-identified Catholic population of the U.S. has been steadily rising since 1965, the total number of practicing Catholic priests and total number of Catholic parishes in the U.S. have both been on a steady decline since the same year. This suggests that even though more people are identifying as Catholic, less people are actually attending mass.

According to a study performed by the Pew Research Center, only 33 percent of Americans were in favor of gay marriage in 2003. As of 2013, 49 percent of adult Americans supported same-sex marriage.

Additionally, 70 percent of those people born from 1980 and

onwards, referred to as “millennials,” support same-sex marriage. These numbers all show that as interest in the church decreases, support of same-sex marriage increases. Taking all of the statistics into consideration, I believe that it is time for the Catholic Church to reconsider and revise its views on homosexuality. As part of the millennial generation, I am in full support of same-sex marriage and have had steadily decreasing interest in the church from a young age.

Monsignor Charamsa hits it on the head by stating that “Every homosexual person is a son of God… This is the will of God for our life, also for my life with him.”

Religion is supposed to be something that provides people with hope in their lives. It should not matter how people identify. It should not matter if their sexual orientation disagrees with the teachings of the church. The fact that an organization will deny their homosexual members the right to be united under its juris-

diction is something that I find unacceptable.

Pope Francis is trying to bring the church into the 21st century, and this would be an excellent place to start. 70 percent of the prominent population in today’s age disagrees with the church on the topic of homosexuality. If the church hopes to remain prominent in the world, it very well may need to adapt. Going to mass is something that is supposed to present people an escape from their problems, not make them afraid of themselves. Until we reach a point in time when a prominent portion of the population is no longer persecuted for who they love, the world will be a divided place, and this is a place in which I will not be able to live 100 percent satisfactorily.

Jack is a freshman majoring in journalism. Do you think the Catholic Church should change its stance on social issues to keep up with its younger constituents?

Born in Milwaukee...

Former Badger Landry follows career path back to Wisconsin

By Ben Pickman The Daily Cardinal

When the NBA regular season opens in three weeks, Milwaukee Bucks small forward Marcus Landry hopes to join an exclusive group of NBA players that includes Wilt Chamberlain, Derrick Rose, Bernard King and Carmelo Anthony, among other notables.

The aforementioned group highlights a list of players who played for the NBA team in the city they are from. The Bucks are one of two teams in NBA history, the other being the Brooklyn Nets, not to have a player from their city play for their team. As a result, Landry, a Milwaukee native, would be the first player in Bucks history from Milwaukee to wear the green, cream and blue.

The importance of such a feat won’t be lost on Landry.

“It’ll mean a lot. I think it will really help in the community and show younger kids that Milwaukee is not a dead place,” Landry said after the Bucks’ fourth and final practice in Madison last week. “It’s not only an accomplishment for me, it’s an accomplishment for the city of Milwaukee.”

Landry is a product of the Milwaukee Public School system, a system that recently had 55 schools receive a failing grade from the state. The St. Vincent High School graduate remembers talking to former Milwaukee Buck great Ray Allen for more than three hours as a kid and still treasures a pair of sneakers Allen signed for him.

But now, Landry recognizes he can impact kids in much the same way Allen impacted him growing up.

“I feel like for me, part of my job is reaching those kids that are unreachable. I feel like me being

here, everyone knowing who I am, things like that will help a lot more,” Landry said.

Landry’s signing comes at a perfect time in Bucks history. Along with the redesign of their uniform and court, the Bucks are trying to re-brand themselves and impact the greater state of Wisconsin far more than ever before.

Part of that initiative included coming to Madison, the place where Landry emerged as one of the best Badgers in the past 15 years. Landry finished his career eighth in UW annals with 185 career offensive rebounds and fifth in Badgers history with 99 team blocks. Landry also earned Most Outstanding Player of the 2008 Big Ten Tournament and was a two-time second-team allBig Ten forward.

Coming back to Madison has been surreal for Landry.

“This is an unbelievable moment being able to see some of the old places I was able to go and eat, places me and my family used to hang out,” Landry said.

“I just remember those days after practice when I would head back to my dorm room or my house. It brings back unbelievable memories.”

Landry is by no means a guarantee to suit up for the Bucks on opening night. He is one of five training camp invitees with an unguaranteed contract, but being back in Madison and seeing his old coach Bo Ryan has given him more hope.

“Just seeing him on the sideline is a great feeling,” Landry said of his former coach.

Ryan said that no matter what happens to Landry he is proud of where he has been and what he has become.

“He’s still chasing the dream, still loves the game. He worked so

hard for us when he was here. He still believes and I’m just really proud of him,” Ryan said.

Landry’s new coach, Jason Kidd, echoed many of Ryan’s sentiments.

“I think he’s done a wonderful job. He’s playing hard. He’s picked up the system,” Kidd said.

“Again you talk about a guy who can play multiple positions, the three and four. He’s shooting the three extremely well for us. And the nice thing I like is he competes on both ends. I think he’s an NBA player.”

The lack of consistent 3-point shooting has plagued Landry in his past and oftentimes been a hindrance in his attempts to make an NBA roster. As a result, Landry, who still spends his offseason working out in Milwaukee, has spent most of his career in Europe, playing most recently for CAI Zaragoza of Spain. His kids, Marcus Jr, 10, Mariah, 9, and Makaylah, 7, are fluent in both English and Spanish and far more cultured than most kids, a feat Landry is proud of.

Landry recognizes that as a result of his basketball escapades in Spain, China and Venezuela among other players, he can’t take this moment for granted.

One moment Landry will never forget came in his second career NBA game when he was playing with the New York Knicks.

Landry, then a reserve forward for the Knicks, visited his hometown Bucks in early November of his rookie year.

“Mike D’Antoni put me in the game. The crowd was just cheering.

So I just soaked all of that up and had like six points in two minutes,” Landry said. “It was an unbelievable moment playing against my hometown team. I’ll never forget it.”

Landry, now almost six years

Brad Fedie/cardinal file photo

After starring for Wisconsin from 2005-’09, Marcus Landry’s basketball career has taken him all around the globe. removed from that game, hopes that his next regular season game in the NBA will be against the Knicks on opening night, but he admitted that whatever happens is out of his control.

“I’ve been in this situation plenty of times before. I understand what it’s all about. I just come in and try to do my job, Landry said.

“I’m not going to allow the pres-

sure to get to me and force me to get outside what I’m supposed to be doing.”

Kidd praised the University of Wisconsin for their incredible facilities and said that they’ll hopefully be back next year. But for Landry’s sake, hopefully he’ll be back in Madison in two weeks when the Bucks host the Timberwolves in the Kohl Center.

Women’s hockey gets off to hot start, volleyball’s on a roll

By Ethan Levy and Jessi Schoville The daily cardinal

Women’s Hockey

The Badgers (2-0) had a very successful opening weekend in San Jose, Calif. both on and off the ice.

The team played Providence (0-2) twice, beating it 5-1 in the opener and 8-1 in the second game.

Head coach Mark Johnson was both impressed and surprised at his team’s ability to score in bunches throughout the weekend.

“It’s still a work in progress, but it’s enjoyable to watch it happen,” Johnson said.

Still, Johnson knows that the team will have to keep improving to have success in its next game against Ohio

State this weekend.

Even though Johnson is already looking forward to helping his team improve over the course of the season, he remained excited about the exposure this weekend created for women’s hockey as a whole.

“For a lot of people it was the first time that they’ve seen college hockey at the women’s level,” Johnson said. “I think a lot of them were impressed.”

Johnson even said that the Badger bus driver was taken aback by the competitiveness of the game.

“He had this expectation of what women’s hockey was about, and he was blown away,” Johnson said.

The Badgers did not only make an impact on the fans, but also held a clinic for 150 youth hockey players.

“There might be five, six, eight or 10 kids that we touched yesterday,” Johnson said. “That might set in the back of their mind that someday they want to play college hockey as well.”

Volleyball

Head coach Kelly Sheffield expressed his satisfaction with his team’s improvement over the weekend when the Badgers (2-2 Big Ten, 10-4 overall) took down Big Ten opponents Illinois (2-2, 11-4) and Northwestern (2-2, 10-5).

“Coming out of the weekend felt like probably our two best matches as far as our serve-receive goes,” Sheffield said.

Looking ahead at the schedule, Wisconsin will travel to Rutgers and

then Maryland for the first time as a program. Without a midweek game the Badgers will have solitude in preparing for the weekend ahead.

“Just us and our gym,” Sheffield said.

Sheffield referred to the venue in Maryland as a “party on a volleyball court,” stating, “I’m excited to see how that is and how our team responds to that.”

Sheffield expressed his pleasure in his team’s newfound resilience in the face of adversity.

“I’m seeing a team that’s starting to come together and embracing challenges. I’m not sure we were great at that as kind of a unified group,” Sheffield said.

Sheffield feels his team has the

spark and resilience to put everything together, though.

“The great ones have something a little bit psychotic that just clicks that says ‘alright, bring it,’ and they get excited about that,” Sheffield said. “I see a little bit of that spark coming out from some of our players, and so there’s no better way to fine-tune that than spending a lot of time on the road.”
