MBA program will not be cut, university says

By Nina Bertelsen NEWS MANAGER

The business school announced Wednesday it will not suspend their MBA program after hearing from shocked students and alumni.

While UW’s program will continue without disruption in 2018, Wisconsin School of Business Dean Anne P. Massey said discussion will move forward on how to grow and alter business school graduate and undergraduate programs — this time inviting community members to guide the conversation.

“We moved too quickly without the broad consultation and discussion that our stakeholders can and should expect,” said Massey in an online post.

Joseph Robele, a member of the 2018 MBA class, said he was “very relieved” to hear the decision. Robele commended the dean for not making a hasty decision and said he was proud of how the community rallied to support the program.

Students first learned of the proposal in an email last Thursday evening and were told the administration was “considering the future of the Full-Time MBA” but

many sources inside the school said administrators were considering ending the program entirely.

Alumni immediately leapt into action and began circulating a petition, which gathered 672 signatures over the weekend and on Friday, leaders hosted a town hall meeting with students but did not allow any press inside.

“We all see the value in continually updating and modernizing the full-time MBA program, but we disagree with the decision to discontinue the degree,” the alumni petition read.

The announcement came only a few months after UW-Madison’s Big Ten peer, the University of Iowa, announced it would end its MBA program.

Other universities have considered eliminating their twoyear MBA degrees as well after declining student interest outside of top-tier schools.

“Higher education, like business, is in an unprecedented period of accelerated change along several dimensions, including technology, globalization, digitalization, and the changing expectation of students at all levels,” the

The Associated Students of Madison worked with Steve Cramer, UW-Madison’s vice provost for teaching and learning, to launch the pilot program, which is expected to cut the price of textbooks significantly in select classes.

The program, which will begin this spring, will provide online text materials to students in lieu of traditional textbooks. Prices will be about 40 to 80 percent lower

per textbook, according to a university website.

The classes in the program span across university departments and schools. They are: Letters and Science: Chemistry 311, Economics 101, Math 211, Physics 103, Political Science 140, Psychology 210 Business: General Business 301, General Business 302, Marketing 423, Marketing 724 Human Ecology: Consumer Science 201, Consumer Science 657, Human Development and Family Studies 362

Food recovery organization on campus to shift focus toward UW students

By Lawrence Andrea CAMPUS NEWS EDITOR

What started as a once-a-week effort to bring leftover food from Gordon Avenue Market to Madison community members has grown into a larger effort to supply food to not only the community, but also UW-Madison students who need it.

Joshua Baumgartner — cofounder of the Food Recovery Network — said that his organi-

zation had been supplying local communities like the Bayview Foundation, a local subsidized housing community, since the group was founded in 2015. But, he added, there was a need on campus that needed to be addressed as well.

“On college campuses, there is a lot more poverty and student homelessness than you’d expect,” Baumgartner said. “It is not very clear, and you can’t really see it, so it

The Food Recovery Network recently partnered with ASM’s Open Seat pantry in an effort to distribute food to students.

is important for us to address foodinsecure students.”

To address the issue of homelessness and hunger on campus, the Food Recovery Network partnered with the Associated Students of Madison’s Open Seat, a food pantry in the Student Activity Center where students can take food items as needed, earlier this month.

According to Baumgartner, the new partnership will allow the group to “address students and staff directly affiliated with the university.”

Aside from recovering food from Gordon to bring to the Bayview Foundation on Mondays and Fridays, the organization now recovers food from Rheta’s Market in Chadbourne Hall on Sundays and Wednesdays to bring to the Open Seat pantry.

The group collects and redistributes about 90 pounds of food from Gordon and 40 pounds of food from Rheta’s every week, according to Baumgartner.

Alec Armon, the other co-founder of the Recovery Network, credited UW-Madison’s Dining and Culinary Services faculty and staff as a major factor for the success of the organization so far. He said dining hall workers package and refrigerate leftover food for the Food Recovery Network until the organization is prepared to distribute the goods.

“All of the chefs and administration have been really willing to get involved in lowering their own food waste,” Armon said. “They are conscious of this problem and want to find ways to help students and reduce food waste.”

Although both Baumgartner and Armon are seniors, the cofounders said they are confident the organization’s young staff will continue to expand the organization and positively influence more students in the future.

“Hopefully this will become an institution on the UW-Madison campus, and we’ll see it for years to come,” Baumgartner said.

A leader in Madison’s Catholic community emailed local priests this weekend a list of “considerations” to use when deciding whether or not gay individuals are eligible to receive funeral services.

Pray Tell, a progressive religious blog based in Minnesota, published parts of the email Sunday, prompting backlash from members of the LGBTQ+ community.

The email — written by James Bartylla, vicar general of the Madison Catholic Diocese — urges priests, in underlined text, to think through funeral requests “thoroughly and prudently,” as well as to reach out to officers of the church to discuss them, before reaching a decision.

Bishop Robert Morlino, who heads the Catholic community in Madison, supports the email, according to Pray Tell.

The list of considerations includes: “Was the deceased or the ‘partner’ a promoter of the ‘gay’ lifestyle?”

“What is the attitude of the deceased’s family members, especially towards the Church?”

“Any surviving ‘partner’ should not have any public or prominent role at any ecclesiastical funeral rite or service.”

It also says there should be “no mention” of the “partner” in any religious text or by funeral leaders. Also, a priest or parish involved with a funeral of a gay individual should not be listed in any public obituary that also lists the partner.

“This can’t happen for obvious reasons,” Bartylla writes.

If the situation warrants, according to the email, priests can deny funeral rites “for manifest sinners in which public scandal of the faithful can’t be avoided.”

In the Catholic doctrine, the term “scandal” refers to leading others toward sin or confusing or weakening people regarding the teachings of the Catholic Church.

The email is “discriminatory,” according to Steve Starkey, Executive Director of OutReach, a community center in Madison for LGBTQ+ individuals.

“I would have hoped that since the Pope has [been more tolerant of LGBTQ+ individuals than his predecessors], the Catholic community would have followed,” Starkey said.

“But obviously that’s not the case — at least locally.”

Badger Catholic, a prominent Catholic student organization at UW-Madison, did not have a comment at the time of publication.

“…the great state University of Wisconsin should ever encourage that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found.” “…the great state University of Wisconsin should ever encourage that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found.”

With a Taco Bell Cantina that serves alcohol on the way, State Street could be ready to live más

By Gina Heeb CITY NEWS EDITOR

A Taco Bell that also serves margaritas is slated to open in the campus area this winter.

Bell American Group plans to open a Taco Bell Cantina — a version of the original fast food restaurant that serves alcohol and doesn’t have a drive-thru — on State Street this December.

The Taco Bell Cantina restaurant chain is designed for areas “where people experience our brand differently,” Taco Bell CEO Brian Niccol said in a press release.

“Today’s consumers are living in more urban settings and our new restaurants cater to their lifestyle in adapting our traditional restaurant concept to fit their modern needs,” Niccol said.

The restaurant plans to serve liquor, wine and beer in addition to its standard menu of

business from page 1 business school said in the post. “To advance out standing as a leading business school, we must respond to this reality.”

U.S. News & World Report ranked UW-Madison 34th among national full-time MBA programs in 2018, and in 2016 it was ranked number one for “return on investment.” The petition pointed to alumni networks and support as a reason for this and didn’t want to see their investment diminished if the program went away.

“We believe that a public MBA is an essential ladder for future business leaders who may not have the financial means to attend the

tacos, burritos, nachos and more, according to the business plan submitted to city officials for review. Its menu features drinks including frozen margarita and pina colada drinks, tequila and rum shots and premium beer.

But it’s unclear whether all of those options will make it to the State Street location menu. They must first get approval from the city to serve liquor, a task that has previously been difficult for restaurants and bars applying in the area.

That could be because the 500 block of State Street is a “very sensitive” area on weekend nights, according to Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, who also sits on the city’s Alcohol License Review Committee.

“I would find myself hardpressed to support the proposal as it is now,” Verveer said, noting Koi Sushi — a restaurant just a few buildings down from the upcoming Harvards of the world,” the petition reads. “We all see the value in continually updating and modernizing the full-time MBA program, but we disagree with the decision to discontinue the degree.”

While the proposal to suspend the program was met with resistance, students are not opposed to future changes.

“We are ready to take on the challenge of finding ways to keep Wisconsin innovative and one of the best places for a public MBA business education in the country,” Robele said. “Today I am very proud to be a Badger.”

The business school has decided to keep its full-time MBA program.

textbook from page 1 Engineering: Civil and Environmental Engineering 310, Civil and Environmental Engineering 370 Education: Kinesiology 337 ASM adopted legislation in September giving the green light to the program, which is the latest of a number of student government campaigns to reduce the cost of textbooks. Rep. Alex Hader, one of the sponsors of the legislation, said the initiative is necessary because textbook prices are “a problem on all college campuses.” “[The pilot] definitely satisfies a need for students who have different socioeconomic statuses and might not be able to afford textbooks,” Hader, who is also the chair of ASM’s Equity and Inclusion Committee, said.

Hader said the pilot is currently

only in place for the spring, but that the goal is to continue the program in subsequent semesters.

She cited Indiana University as an example of a school that has had a successful e-textbook program for years. The school has saved its students millions of dollars through the program, according to Cramer, the vice provost.

At the ASM meeting when the initiative was introduced, some representatives raised concerns about leaving behind students who prefer traditional print textbooks to online texts. But the new pilot program addresses this problem, Hader said — students can either opt out of the program or purchase a printed version of the book for an additional $10.

“We’re going towards e-textbooks anyway, whether we like it or not,” Hader said. “We might as well save [students] money in the process.”

Taco Bell — was recently denied a liquor license, after owners were reluctant to negotiate conditions with the city.

However, Koi Sushi later reapplied for and was granted a beer and wine license. They also agreed to stop serving alcohol at 10 p.m. on weeknights and 11 p.m. on weekends.

Verveer said it’s likely the ALRC would hold Taco Bell to the same standards as Koi Sushi — allowing only beer and wine to be served, as opposed to hard liquor, and capping alcohol sales before midnight.

The State Street location will be open seven days a week, until 2 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 5 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. State law permits businesses to serve alcohol until 2 a.m. on weekdays and 2:30 a.m. on weekends.

City officials will review the proposal at an Oct. 31 meeting.

Bill would extend protections for victims of domestic violence across country lines

By Allyson Duffy STAFF WRITER

A bill that would aim to protect victims of domestic abuse by enforcing civil domestic violence protections issued by Canadian courts received a state Senate committee hearing Thursday.

Senate Bill 369, otherwise known as the Uniform Recognition and Enforcement of Canadian Domestic Violence Protection Orders Act, has been adopted by four other states including California, Delaware, North Dakota and Nevada.

Under current law, protection orders for victims of domestic violence in one state are upheld in other states. The bill would extend this understanding to include protection orders issued in Canada.

State Rep. Ron Tusler, R-Harrison, sponsored the Assembly version of the bill along with another piece of legislation involving protections for victims of domestic abuse. Tusler testified on behalf of SB 369 during a public hearing.

“I have represented victims

of domestic violence and seen first-hand the effects domestic violence can have on the victims and their families,” Tusler said in his statement. “This bill, if passed, could save someone’s life at a critical moment.”

Currently, Canada recognizes U.S. and Wisconsin domestic violence protection orders, however, there is no legislation under state law that explicitly allows for the law enforcement authorities or state courts to recognize and enforce Canadian court orders.

If passed, this bill would establish explicit rules and treat Canadian court orders as if they were issued under Wisconsin law and allow full recognition of such domestic violence protection orders throughout Wisconsin.

“Let us, as a growing number of our sister states have done, reciprocate in the spirit of comity, protect all victims of domestic violence and support adoption of this Act,” Tusler said.

Promoting Awareness Victim Empowerment, or PAVE, a student organization on campus

dedicated to the prevention of sexual assault, domestic violence, and conduct of work based on violence prevention, expressed its strong support for Senate Bill 369.

“PAVE supports Senate Bill 369, as it will offer greater protections to victims and survivors of intimate partner violence,” PAVE chair Janie Felton said. “We commend the efforts of Representative Tusler and Representative Stuck in introducing this bill during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Survivors should be able to travel between Wisconsin and Canada without compromising their legal rights and protections in the process. Survivors have the right to feel safe and supported across borders.”

Another measure related to domestic violence is slated to be formally announced in the coming weeks. The proposal would allow members of law enforcement who have been victims of domestic violence to file restraining orders reaching beyond their county of work or residency.

A hearing on both bills is set to happen within the next few weeks.

JON YOON/THE DAILY CARDINAL

PAVE chair Janie Felton said the group supports a measure to further protect domestic abuse survivors.

Protesting and demonstrating are an essential part of campus history.

Regents’ policy does not protect speech IRON CROSS SOCIETY letter to the editor

A

s students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, we are defined by our unequivocal willingness to protest wrongful ideas, beliefs, and actions. Protest serves as a reminder to lawmakers and administrators that the student voice refuses to be silenced. The greatness of UW-Madison stems not only from the virtue of academics, but from the power students have to shape these resources and define what our university stands for.

The students of this university have rarely backed down from the need to incite change, and the persistence of our academic forebearers has paved the way for a more empowered campus.

In 1944, student-led protests pressured The University Club to allow Arthur E. Burke, a black PhD student, to rent a room he was previously denied.

Students and faculty collaborated in early 1969 to strike and demand more studies in African American history, ultimately leading to the formation of the Department of AfroAmerican Studies. In the 60’s, UW students notoriously took an early stand against the Vietnam War and the use of napalm, utilizing their freedom of speech to ultimately promote civil discourse on campus.

In February 1999, a small group of 40 students refused to leave Bascom Hall until the chancellor agreed to push for stronger anti-sweatshop guidelines for collegiate apparel.

Through decades of utilizing the power of protest, it has been the student body more than any other administrative group that has reformed and progressed our campus.

Protests, demonstrations and peaceful disruptions are just as much a part of the conversation.

For the record Corrections or clarifications? Email edit@dailycardinal.com.

On October 6, the UW System Board of Regents voted to allow punishments to students who exercise the very power that has progressed our campus. The new Board of Regents policy waves the threat of suspension and expulsion over students who “disrupt the expressive rights of others.”

This functions as a unilateral threat to students who would be so bold as to exercise their inalienable right to free speech - and the Board of Regents had the audacity to approve this policy in the name of the very

free speech they threaten.

With this new policy, UW System administrators have taken a step towards pacifying a campus community known precisely for its rich history of resistance. Instead of promoting freedom of speech, this policy strips this freedom from the very students whose voices the university system is designed to elevate — particularly the marginalized groups who for decades have used protest to push the UW-Madison campus closer to equity and justice.

It has been the student body more than any other administrative group that has reformed and progressed our campus.

Protests, demonstrations and peaceful disruptions are just as much a part of the conversation as the perspectives that controversial speakers bring. When students respond to campus speakers, we are contributing to the discussion. When the Board of Regents invoke the threat of punitive action against that contribution, they erode the foundation and right of student engagement.

This campus, above all, serves the 43,000 students that call it home — not the Board of Regents, not the state Legislature and not any one speaker that comes to campus. The campus community should fight relentlessly to oppose any policy that removes the ability of the student body to handle its own affairs of speech; getting loud, getting active, and getting disruptive are the first steps in reclaiming what we have lost.

We stand beside you, our fellow students, against this affront to our rights, and we affirm our commitment to continue working alongside the student body, strong in the depth and diversity of our perspectives and backgrounds, to push back against the efforts of the Board of Regents, and any other entities that seek to strip away our rights and historic identity as a community willing and able to take an active role in contributing to and improving our University.

resident Trump swore to protect the Constitution when he was inaugurated. Now, he’s speaking out against the First Amendment right of freedom of the press, a fundamental part of our democratic system and an indispensable aspect of our society. “It’s disgusting the way the press can say whatever they want,” President Trump stated. No, Mr. President. What’s disgusting is your dismissal of one of the most important elements of the Constitution.

Basically, when it comes to imperfect interactions with the press, our president finds security in acting like a two year old, throwing tantrums when he doesn’t get what he wants and pointing his finger at rightfully frustrated people, yelling incoherent and senseless phrases and revealing an evidently limited vocabulary.

He attempts to discredit media critical of his actions through other forms of media, tweeting away without thought. He alludes to the idea that the press should be strictly regulated by government, a clearly anti-egalitarian concept. But people are completely within the law when they criticize the president through media. Frankly, with the views he has been expressing regarding the First Amendment, people should criticize him.

Trump and his supporters have been proposing an authoritarian regulation of the press in response to the media’s various denouncing of his adminstration.

Trump claims that he is the most poorly treated president in the history of the United States.

However, such a claim is simply ridiculous. Sure, he is frequently called names and imitated on SNL, but other presidents have seen much worse and did not dare suggest the removal of the First Amendment right to freedom of the press.

People strung up dummies resembling Obama to depict lynching. There were baseless rumors going around that he was born in Kenya. But, unlike our current president, Obama always

supported the right of others to criticize him.

It is as if Trump is stalking mainstream media, waiting for them to criticize him so he can respond with a childish tweet. Other presidents rarely paid any attention to their media critics and properly chose to remain focused on their agendas.

The fact that Trump takes personal offense to every critical analysis of his time in office shows how fragile he is as a person and how unfit he is to hold the highest possible office in American government. He pays more attention to less-than-flattering stories about him than his responsibilities as president, taking a great toll on the general functionality of his administration.

Though no one likes to be criticized, freedom of the press is an essential part of our democratic society. Limiting the press’ ability to express views on the Trump Administration would be a step toward autocracy. Such censorship of media would lead to a dangerously uneducated population living in fear.

North Korea is an appropriate example of this. There is a reason why America has freedom of the press and there is a reason why North Korea does not. A lack of freedom of the press leads to intense inhibition of citizens.

The removal of independent media would leave the people without a voice.

As Americans, we should not be prevented from hearing views opposing elected officials. Our government should not have the ability to control the opinions of the public.

In suggesting that the press shouldn’t be able to criticize him, Trump is betraying the very foundation of the nation of which he is president. This country was built on the idea of liberation and the repression of the press is an act against American values.

Speedy Ortiz, Tera Melos showcase quirks

By Dylan Anderson THE DAILY CARDINAL

Speedy Ortiz frontwoman Sadie Dupuis effused flower power on center stage Tuesday night. She wore a floral print top, a skirt and a flower pin in her hair, distancing her look from the dreary Madison weather. Her bright blue, bejeweled guitar stood out as it was fretted by Dupuis’s highlighter-orange and yellow nails.

To her left, the black-and-bluehaired bassist wore black clothes and strummed with black nails, providing a stark contrast to the lead vocalist. A second guitarist and a drummer who provided backing vocals rounded out the indie quartet.

Holding a degree in poetry, Dupuis displayed her vocabulary with lyrics including words such as “diaristic” and “hypnic.”

Between songs, the group’s leader sipped tea and participated in playful self-deprecation, once describing herself by the title of the track, “Mr. Difficult.” Uttered into a microphone affixed by a hanging stuffed animal, Dupuis’s jokes about uncertainty were not particularly well-received by the modest crowd, though some laughed along uncomfortably.

In contrast to her spoken measures, Dupuis’s mid-song persona felt confident. Sporting glitter eyeshadow, her eyes remained open and lit up the venue’s confines. She cursed and sang loud over the gritty rock music. “I’m not bossy, I’m the boss. The shooter not the shot,” she bemoaned to onlookers during the chorus of “Raising the

Skate.” She dictated the impassioned brand of indie rock with semi-spirited head bobs and less-than-choreographed dance sessions with bandmates.

The audience was underwhelming both in quantity and enthusiasm, perhaps in part because Speedy Ortiz have not released a new record in more than two years. Even during the hooky “No Below,” crowd members generally did not sing along.

“I was the best at being second place, but now I’m just the runner-up,” Dupuis wailed, leading a band unusually well-renowned for an opening set at High Noon.

Tera Melos followed with a still sparse but slightly more anticipatory congregation. The toocomplex-to-be-ascribed-to-a-single-genre trio opened their loud, tight set with an abrasiveness that shocked me as a first-time listener.

Much more of that followed.

Led by frontman Nick Reinhart, the group dazzled with seamless transitions and abrupt, but carefully curated, dynamics. Described by Wikipedia as a math rock band, their set featured elements of jazz, hardcore punk, heavy progressivism and much more. Constant, unpredictable changeovers required those watching to engage. I obliged.

Tera Melos were reckless but never out of control. At times, Reinhart fretted his axe with violent, jerky motions. He regularly played hammer-ons with both hands simultaneously in rapid movements, provoking the gaze and awe of onlookers. Reinhart’s shredding required tremendous

The bassist harmonized with Reinhart on occasion and hopped during driving passages. Much like his rhythms, the drummer borrowed from different times with his appearance, rocking a dark moustache with straight, long hair. Reinhart spoke during tuning breaks in a witty, dry tone, evoking laughter. He recited an anecdote about buying a Freddy Krueger doll at Walgreen’s on the

capitol square the last time he played at High Noon. His guitar strap was adorned by a pin, reading “Eat Cheese or Die” — likely a nod to the dairy state where he was performing.

The band used electronic sequencing in transitioning between tunes at times, and once the venue’s lights went out as a premeditated trick. I felt mesmerized by the group’s immaculate timekeeping, as they routinely changed time signatures

in crisp unison. Their meticulous commitment to sharp rhythm was one of the most impressive spectacles I’ve seen in a live act. Heavier riffs poured over the audience, complimented by jazzy, danceable portions.

Touring together, Speedy Ortiz and Tera Melos felt like an atypical pairing. Stylistically different, perhaps it was their shared passion for quirks and rhythm that made them a formidable one-two punch.

‘Broad City’ tackles the complexities of casual dating

PHOTO COURTESY OF COMEDY CENTRAL

Ilana (Ilana Glazer) and Lincoln (Hannibal Buress) navigate their non-monogamous relationship.

By Monique Scheidler TV COLUMNIST

“Broad City” has done some really revolutionary things since its premiere in 2014. They’ve represented female sexuality in a bold and unapologetic way — they show vibrators on screen in a really normalizing way, rather than for shock value. This season, they’ve committed to bleeping Trump’s name out. “We just didn’t want to share airtime. He’s got enough and we also don’t want to hear the word,” Ilana Glazer, co-creator and lead, explained over the summer on a

press tour. They’ve also touched on topics such as depression, anxiety, sexual harassment and sexuality. But the most revolutionary representation, to me, is the way they depict Ilana and Lincoln’s non-monogamous relationship and break-up. It’s such a realistic depiction of modern dating, through all of its complications.

Since the pilot episode, Ilana and Lincoln have had a very open and honest non-monogamous relationship. They both respect each other’s boundaries and keep an open line of com-

munication between the two of them. As Lincoln says in the pilot episode, “I saw your tweet, so I wanted to stop by, but wanted to respect your space, so I’m hanging back.” They’re always transparent with their needs and desires. Ilana is seen throughout the show having multiple other partners besides Lincoln — both men and women — yet we never see story arcs dealing with jealousy between the two of them.

It’s probably one of the healthiest depictions of a romantic relationship on TV.

Last season, in the eighth episode, “Burning Bridges,” “Broad City” completely devastated fans when Lincoln broke up with Ilana. He sits her down and tells her that he wants to be exclusive with Steph, the other girl he’s been seeing. Ilana is taken aback, but remains composed until she asks him if they can still be friends, to which he responds, “I don’t think we’re just friends. So, no.” Ilana is really upset by this and, throughout the episode, goes into a spiral, telling herself that she’s not allowed to be upset since they weren’t exclusively dating one another. This continues until the very end, where she finally breaks down and cries it out on Abbi’s shoulder.

This episode rung so painfully familiar for me and I’m sure many others out there who are active participants in the casual dating scene. Defining relationships with labels or being exclusive is becoming more and more rare — which isn’t a bad thing at all. I thoroughly enjoy casual dating. But sometimes it makes us feel confused when we “break-up” with each other.

Just because you weren’t dating in the technical sense doesn’t mean you didn’t sincerely love and care for that person. It’s totally normal and okay to feel upset after the two of you end your relationship. Seeing Ilana break down in the same episode made me shed tears, something I

never expected from an episode of “Broad City,” but I was just so relieved to see someone else going through emotions I and so many of my friends have gone through. It assured us all that there’s no need to feel silly for being upset over the end of a casual relationship.

The show has gone forward with this story arc into the new season as well. In the third episode of the most recent season, “Just the Tips,” Ilana runs into Lincoln for the first time since they ended things. She doesn’t handle it particularly well — she actually poops in her onesie. And in the following episode, “Mushrooms,” after a failed threesome with an incredibly attractive couple — Ilana’s dream — she takes the leap and unfollows Lincoln on all forms of social media so she can move on.

So not only is “Broad City” showing that it’s okay to be upset when your casual relationship/hookup ends, it’s also showing that it’s okay to take some time getting over it.

Feelings don’t just magically end when the relationship does. Often times we try our hardest to ignore our feelings, especially while seeing someone casually, but who says that casually dating someone and having feelings for them are mutually exclusive? I just want to say a big thank you to “Broad City” for shedding some light on modern romance and making me and my emotions feel valid in a dating culture that can be overwhelming at times.

Steve Jobs envisioned free internet porn, advocated porn accessibility ByJared Holloway THE DAILY CARDINAL

Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple and legendary tech visionary, is now believed to have influenced yet another essential facet of modern life. Beside his incomparable innovations in the development of the home computer, smart phones and handheld devices such as the iPad, it appears he was working toward creating a market for free internet porn long before anyone else.

The discovery was made when Apple intern Ted Baer was leafing through company archives in search of company co-founder Steve Wozniak’s delicious pumpkin bread recipe which was rumored to be hidden there. The recipe remains undiscovered, but what Baer did find was almost as exciting. Among other things, he

uncovered transcripts of meetings between Wozniak and Jobs in the days just before and after the creation of the “Worldwide Web.” In these sessions, Jobs brings up and begins crafting the idea of modern porn circulation.

“Think about it Woz,” said Jobs in a transcript from 1990, “no more pornography theaters, watching VHS tapes late at night, or sneaking into your dad’s room to find his Playboy collection.

We can give free pornography to anyone, anytime, anywhere. We can revolutionize both the porn and computer industry.”

When Wozniak asked how the industry could provide “free” content, Jobs proposed the solution of littering pornographic webpages with “really creepy ads.”

Further digging led to the

role Jobs played in actually introducing pornography to the internet, which happened approximately twenty seconds after the launch of the worldwide web. While never publicized by Apple, the company’s resources were used extensively by Jobs to create a steady platform and stream of pornography onto the internet in its early days.

“Many of us grew up in a world where, as teenagers, pornography was elusive at best,” said Jobs in one of the records.

“But those days are over. If this is a world where twelve-year-olds can’t have illegal dungeon porn at the stroke of a key, then that’s a world I don’t want to live in.”

Apple officials have remained mostly silent on the discovery, with current CEO

He’s just a bill. yeah he’s only a bill. And he’s getting rid of your education. Thanks, bill.

Wisconsin government soon to pass abstinence-only legislature

By Ayomide Awosika THE DAILY CARDINAL

Late Tuesday afternoon, The Daily Cardinal got wind of a new bill being proposed by Wisconsin state lawmakers that aims to implement abstinence-only education in publicly funded schools, ranging from elementary schools to the university level. The bill is set to redefine education in the state as a whole, not only getting rid of the currently required sex and safesex education, but removing the education of all currently required subjects in favor of solely teaching abstinence.

This particular bill is being pushed by one particular lawmaker, Jack Soff, father of seven, who believes the implementation of this bill will lead to lowering the risk of unwanted pregnancies and the transferring of STDs among all Wisconsinites.

“I have no doubt in my mind that if we get rid of education as we know it, the amount of people having unprotected sex will decline rapidly. A study published last year by a completely unbiased researcher found that if people never learn about sex, then there’s no way they could possibly have it.” Mr. Soff said, “As a matter

of fact, if they never learn how to read, write, or do any critical thinking, then there’s no way they can learn how to use the internet to find out about it. It’s a foolproof plan, really.”

Other supporters of the bill were quoted saying, “It’s so stupid that it just might work.”

Many students at UW have expressed concern about the ability to finish their majors should the bill pass, leading Cardinal staffers to contact the Dean of Students Office. Department director, Mei Jore, responded, saying, “Should the bill pass, all UW majors, past and present, will be made null and void effective immediately. Every professor’s position will be revoked and students will be required to attend a daily class at 8:50 AM to discuss how to not have sex.”

While many students are dismayed at the possibility that their major in college may be null and void within the next few months, president of the student organization No Sex Out Loud, In Quiet, or At All (NSOLIQoAA), Coi Tus, was elated. “Finally,” she exclaimed, “I’m glad I’ll finally be able to impose my celibacy on others.”

Fans of the Boston Celtics mourned Wednesday morning after the Boston Celtics management announced that their star forward, Gordon Hayward, had been put down by team doctors after breaking his leg. In the wake of his euthanization, Hayward’s four-year, $128 million contract has been rendered null and void. The Celtics management have reportedly spent the leftover contract money on Gulfstream jets.

A Celtics representative answered questions at the press conference following the euthanization, which occurred in the team training room at TD Garden. “The same thing happened to Kevin Ware – he was euthanized after he broke his leg in the NCAA tournament. Paul George was almost euthanized by the Pacers as well when he suffered his leg injury, but there were some politics behind the scenes that kept the doctors away and let him recover, to keep playing.”

The tradition of euthanizing injured athletes began with horse racing and extended to other sports in the late 1980s, after medical expenses and compensation ran over payroll. After three NBA players were euthanized in unsanctioned operations by their team doctors on team buses, the commissioner passed a legislative action which only approved the euthanization of injured players upon approval of team management.

“The managers and training staff decided that it was not the

best idea to keep injured players going,” a trainer for the Celtics said. “The second we saw, or rather heard, that leg snap, we realized ‘yeah, he’s not going to bounce back from that’.”

“I don’t support the practice of NBA team owners euthanizing injured players,” Commissioner Adam Silver said, “but I understand that at times of financial duress, extreme measures must be considered. The euthanization of Gordon Hayward was done in

complete consideration of all the circumstances involved.”

The Celtics will hold a memorial at the start of the next game at TD Garden to commemorate the player’s career. At Butler, where his court-defying final shot nearly stole the 2011 NCAA championship game, flowers were laid outside the basketball pavilion.

A memorial service was held at TD Garden in Boston to celebrate the life of the basketball star.

‘It’s Nick City:’ Transfer cornerback Nick Nelson anchoring Wisconsin’s secondary

By Ben Pickman THE DAILY CARDINAL

In a few weeks, once winter strikes Madison, Nick Nelson will spend more time figuring out what he’s going to wear around campus than what he was previously used to. Two years ago, while Nelson attended the University of Hawaii, he went to late-fall and winter classes in basketball shorts and slides.

But his decision to play football closer to his home in Glenarden, Maryland as well as in a bigger conference, has forced him to make a fashion adjustment: He now spends more time deciding what he’s going to wear out of the house.

But fashion choices aside, after spending the entirety of the 2016-’17 season sidelined due to NCAA transfer rules, Nelson has transitioned seamlessly to life at UW, as the redshirt junior cornerback continues to make the most of his on-field opportunity.

Nelson has been targeted 43 times this season, the most of any Badger cornerback. But according to Pro Football Focus, only 41.9 percent of Nelson’s targets have been caught by opposing receivers, the best of any Badger defensive back. Nelson is also the lone Badger corner to not miss a tackle this season. He additionally leads all Badger cornerbacks with 18 total tackles and he has more pass-breakups then Derrick Tindal and Dontye Carriere-Williams combined.

“He fits in great It’s Nick City. That dude’s got swag.”

Nelson, however, is still adjusting to game speed.

After sitting out all of last season due to transfer regulations, Nick Nelson has seemlessly transition back to the field for UW. for what he does the rest of the season. He approaches every day the right way, does everything we ask of him and really pushes himself, challenges himself.”

Nelson admits that at times last season it was difficult to stay focused on his preparation, and that he became increasingly frustrated with his inability to help his teammates during difficult stretches in UW’s season.

Every time the Badgers fell to an opponent, Nelson thought about the difference he could have made.

Yet the redshirt junior cornerback’s work in practice last year allowed him to develop different techniques. Nelson says he has improved his play at the line of scrimmage, learned more about receiver route running and finetuned his footwork and hand placement among other areas of development. He also adds that he’s gotten stronger and learned how to better use his physicality.

Watching Tindal also helped Nelson improve his level of play.

“He help me a lot cause he’s quicker,” Nelson said. “DT, the moves he do, you can’t really teach. I learned from that cause he’s a quicker guy, and he learn from me cause I’m a bigger guy.”

“He’s gonna get after you and when you line up in front of him you better bring your A-game, cause he’s gonna dominate you.”

Tindal admits he has also learned from Nelson and that the two cornerbacks feed off of each other in the defensive backfield.

BRANDON MOE/THE DAILY CARDINAL

Sophomore wide reciever Quintez Cephus has been UW’s best pass catcher so far this season.

“After George (Rushing) and Jazz, though, we’re kinda young, so I feel like that’s gonna help us out a lot,” Pryor said. “Because us young guys are playing kinda a big role in this year’s offense.

So I feel just for the next years, our chemistry is gonna be pretty special, coming up.”

The rest of the Badgers’ roster features four wide receivers who are true freshman, and two who are redshirt freshman. None of those players have registered a reception this year, but their mere presence on the roster shows a commitment towards youth from the Badgers.

In the immediate future however, Paul Chryst will be hoping

Cephus, Taylor, Davis III and Pryor can contribute this weekend at Illinois (0-4 Big Ten, 2-5 overall), as the No. 5 Wisconsin Badgers (4-0, 7-0) travel to Champaign looking to improve to 8-0 on the season.

Despite the Fighting Illini’s record, the team, coached by former Chicago Bears’ head coach Lovie Smith, is actually top-40 nationally in pass defense, allowing just 198.7 yards per contest.

Nonetheless, Wisconsin will be expected to win this conference battle. It enters this game as the 27-point favorite, having not lost to the Fighting Illini since 2007.

It’ll need its young receiving core to perform to keep that streak alive.

Young UW receivers starring for Wisconsin

Kristen Campbell arrived at UW after UND’s women’s hockey program shut down. She’s quickly become an important player for the Badgers.

After recent cuts at the University of North Dakota, Campbell and Zelen are making a new mark at UW

ooking back on it, junior Tyler Zelen seemed destined to swim at the University of North Dakota. A third-generation UND athlete, his parents, Dan and Camille, met in the pool at UND and before that, his grandmother was also star in the water for the Fighting Hawks.

Though not recruited at all out of Duluth East High School in Minnesota, Zelen still was hell-bent on swimming at UND. “I basically had to beg to get a spot on the swim team at UND,” Zelen said. “Honestly, I think the only reason I got on the team in the first place was because both my parents swam there.”

“It was an easy decision out of a tough situation.”

Kristen Campbell former UND goalie Current Wisconsin goalie

North Dakota’s coaches taking a chance on Zelen proved fruitful, as over his first two years in the UND program, he got faster and faster, becoming its top sprinter while he was there.

And then the cuts came.

“It definitely shook the campus” In 2016, the University of North Dakota cut baseball — and attempted to cut men’s and women’s golf — due to the mismanagement of state funding and other budgetary concerns. Then on March 29, 2017, the second shoe dropped, and women’s hockey and both the men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams were gone, with many student-athletes finding out through social media

rather than from their coaches. “[UND swimming] had been on the chopping block for awhile due to budgetary concerns,” Zelen said. “The thing that really sucked about this last year was that [the athletics department] told us that they weren’t going to be cutting any sports at the beginning of the year. We thought our position was secure, but at the end of the year they dropped the axe with no warning.”

UND athletic director Brian Faison told The Grand Forks Herald last spring that he received reactions of “anger, shock, frustration, disappointment, and understandably so,” after the news broke.

“One thing some people don’t understand with teams in particular is that it’s family. What you’re doing is ripping family apart — and that was very much evident with both of these teams,” Faison told the Herald.

“There’s a sense of family that’s going to be gone. It’s not that they’re not going to be good friends the rest of their life, it’s just different. And we’ve taken that away.”

Students around Grand Forks echoed Faison’s sentiments.

“It definitely shook the campus because everyone started to think about what other sports would be cut,” said Peter Henderson, a student who attended UND last year.

“It didn’t have to be just about fans of the sports cut but just as a campus and athletics itself. No one really knew what situation our funding for athletics was in and if any more sports were to be cut soon.”

With the swimming program gone, Zelen decided to explore his options and looked to both Iowa and Wisconsin as places he could continue to swim. He ultimately decided to join the Badgers, where head coach Whitney Hite welcomed him with open arms. Hite, who was

.949 9

Early in the second quarter against Maryland Saturday, sophomore wide receiver Quintez Cephus caught the ball in the middle of the field and wiggled loose for a 30-yard gain.

In the short term, Cephus had set up the Badgers with a scoring opportunity at the Terrapins’ three-yard line, and freshman running back Jonathan Taylor converted the chance on the next play.

On a broader level, however, Cephus’ catch was more than just a handy chunk play for Wisconsin.

As he delivered a play of at least 30 yards for the fourth straight game, he reminded fans of the new faces now ruling the receiver corps.

“He’s definitely become a leader for the receivers,” said sophomore wideout A.J. Taylor, who has also taken on a greater role this season.

Though Cephus and Taylor did play last season as true freshman, they were buried beneath the nowgraduated Robert Wheelwright and current senior Jazz Peavy on the depth chart.

But with Wheelwright leaving a void of 448 receiving yards to fill, and Peavy underperforming immensely this season, the sophomore receivers have capitalized on the opportunity to make an impact.

“We had really high expectations for them, because they did play last year,” offensive coordinator Joe Rudolph said. “You never know. You hope by playing someone as a freshman, you hope that it’s really gonna add to their development as a sophomore.”

Rudolph’s wish has certainly become a reality for Cephus and Taylor, who are currently first and second respectively in receiving yards and touchdowns for Wisconsin receivers.

“I’ve learned a lot about just depth, angles, and just the receiver position as a whole,” Taylor said of his development since last season.

“So I feel a lot more comfortable this year.”

With Cephus and Taylor now assuming larger roles for the Badgers, it’s only natural that other receivers have begun to get reps in the situational roles that Cephus and Taylor manned last season.

True freshman Danny Davis III has impressed as a deep threat thus far, catching seven balls for 160 yards and a touchdown.

And with Davis III out injured last weekend, the door opened up for redshirt freshman Kendric Pryor to earn more playing time for the Badgers.

Pryor played a season-high 35 snaps versus Maryland, posting two receptions for nine yards in the process.

It wasn’t the most eye-catching performance, but Pryor’s appearance was indicative of the youth movement currently going on at wide receiver.
