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

By Alison BauterThe Daily CarDinal

Tenants’ rights experts labeled Madison Property Management’s new Freakfest weekend policy illegal Thursday, saying the limits imposed violate tenants’ leases, as well as state law.

The rules, distributed in a letter to Grand Central tenants Oct. 19, allot each resident three wristbands that allow entry to the building for themselves and two guests.

Landlords also asserted the right to “enter any apartment should [they] observe or hear there is a safety concern or lease violation” between 7 p.m. and 4 a.m. Friday and Saturday.

UW Law School assistant clinical professor, Mitch, Tenant Resources Center Executive Director Brenda Konkel and a local attorney all agree the new rules illegally alter students’

lease agreements.“It’s 100 percent clear, black and

white,” Konkel said. “Landlords have absolutely no right to unilater-ally modify a contract.”

The issue, according to MPM President Jim Stopple, is one of “life safety.”

After incidents of strangers entering the building, thefts and other safety concerns during last year’s Freakfest, Stopple felt he “had to do something.”

“Our purpose was for the health and safety of our residents,” Stopple said. “I do think we had basis for [the policy] in our lease; if some-body feels we do not, so be it.”

Neighborhood Law Clinic Director Mitch, along with Konkel and local attorney David Sparer, said state law prohibits landlords from entering a private residence without 24-hour prior notice, except

in cases of emergencies or safety concerns such as a fire or flooding.

Entry without notice to address a lease violation would be con-sidered trespassing, according to Konkel. Police could be called and could fine landlords $600.

Konkel also said wristband requirements violate tenants’ lease agreements, which limits residents to “no more than two overnight guests per night.”

The letter’s language limits all

guests, overnight or not, Konkel said. “Just because someone’s there

at 10 o’clock at night doesn’t mean they’re overnight guests,” she said.

Anders Zanichkowsky, hous-ing counselor for the Tenant Resource Center’s UW-Madison office, equates the difference to “changing the terms of a contract in the middle of a contract.”

Zanichkowsky said landlords must disclose plans to limit guests at the time of tenants’ lease signing, adding, “they cannot just put a let-ter on your door.”

Other apartments with high student populations utilize similar policies.

Unlike Grand Central, some leas-es, like Pres House’s, already include a “no-guest policy,” under which landlords explicitly reserve the right to limit guests during Freakfest.

Although many MPM manag-

ers expressed willingness to give student residents a limited num-ber of extra wristbands, Konkel urged students concerned about the new policies to seek advice from the Neighborhood Law Clinic prior to Freakfest.

“If somebody wants to say it’s a violation of lease-rights, I’ll take my beating,” Stopple said. “But I really think there is enough reason behind the request.”

Stopple said MPM’s policy stands on firm legal ground, and safety for residents and buildings is the rules’ main motivation.

Despite MPM’s intentions, Mitch disagreed.

“Clearly MPM is well inten-tioned, but has gone too far,” he said. “What they’re purporting to be able to do … they cannot do under both the law and their own agreement.”

It is 100 percent clear, black and white—landlords have absolutely no right to unilaterally modify a contract.� BRENDA KONKEL, executive director, Tenant Resource Center, on Madison Property Management policy

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Sonia nazario traveled atop freight trains to the U.S. to experience the journey of young migrants.

Big Read author visits UWBy Shannon KellyThe Daily CarDinal

Pulitzer Prize-winning jour-nalist Sonia Nazario addressed hundreds of people at Union South Thursday, discussing her book ”Enrique’s Journey,” UW-Madison’s 2011 Go Big Read selection.

“Enrique’s Journey” follows a Honduran 16-year-old boy attempt-ing to reach his mother, who left the country to seek work when he was five years old, in the U.S.

Nazario decided to document his and other young immigrants’ journeys after her housekeeper, Carmen, told her that many moth-ers in Central America leave their children to search for work in the

U.S. Carmen herself had left four children behind in Guatemala.

“[Before this] I had thought [determination] was some-thing that I had in abundance,” Nazario said. “But then one day I had this conversation with my house cleaner, and that would take me on this journey that would teach me the true mean-ing of determination.”

Nazario said she was shocked to learn that many children, tired waiting for their mothers to return, attempt the dangerous and unpre-dictable journey through Mexico to reunite with them.

Administrators look to save money in light of budget cutsBy Anna DuffinThe Daily CarDinal

UW-Madison Chancellor David Ward said administrators will take an active role in address-ing the $112 million in budget cuts to the university from the state Thursday.

Since the spring, administra-tors have been working with a consulting team to determine areas where their departments could save money.

“We can wait and hope that tuition flexibilities and the state’s generosity in increasing our [General Purpose Revenue] will happen soon. We have to fight for that, but the likelihood is not high,” Ward said. “Therefore to sort of go to a corner and pout or whine is not a good strategy.”

Several ways university lead-

ers determined money could be saved was by standardizing e-mail and calendar services, aggregat-ing data centers, more efficiently using space on campus, and stan-dardizing computer purchases. These efforts combined could save upwards of $8.5 million.

Ward said that, in addition to administrative changes, the university could use “innova-tive education” to save money, changing the methods of deliv-ering information to students.

He continued to say UW-Madison could incorporate donations into its core budget, which were previously used as supplemental funding .

“If we can put all three together in some really big way, I think we can start what I can only describe as a ‘self-help’

model where we are addressing problems instead of just waiting patiently until somebody says ‘We’re going to give you more money next year,’” Ward said.

Vice Chancellor for Administration Darrell Bazzell said while other universities have shied away from altering the aca-demic environment to save money, he thinks doing so will benefit UW-Madison.

“If we’re going to be good stewards of resource, that phi-losophy has to extend to the academic side of the house,” Bazzell said. “It’s an oppor-tunity to really innovate and to really help with pedagogi-cal innovation and really help move that enterprise forward.”

City braces for Bieberpocalypse

By Jack BaerThe Daily CarDinal

Following the announce-ment that Madison’s famous Freakfest would be headlined by teen heartthrob Justin Bieber, Madison-area businesses and officials have begun prepara-tions for what is likely to be the most destructive, vulgar Halloween party the town has ever seen.

“An event headlined by All Time Low and the Neon Trees would have been crazy enough,” said State Street business owner Matt Rowlings, “but now that Bieber is coming to town, pretty much my only option is to now take out an insurance policy on my store. Those fanatics of his will tear it apart.”

Madison hotels have report-ed a significant spike in reser-vations due to fans of the sing-ing sensation planning to take Freakfest by storm. The influx of fans is estimated to be as much as twice the size of the Nebraska support that arrived for the Big Ten opener. And already, these guests have been responsible for countless acts of underrage drinking, vandalism and assault across the isthmus.

Phil Gordon, a bouncer at Whiskey Jack, recalled the hor-ror he witnessed.

“I can’t say exactly what hap-pened last night, but what I do know is that before I could lift a finger, the bar was surround-ed by at least 50 teenage girls seemingly hell-bent on tearing the place apart,” said the 6’5” 35-year old Gulf War veteran as he nursed his wounds and washed away tears. “They were beyond drunk. The last time I saw a crowd like that, a Hell’s Angels chapter was tripping out on LSD and convinced that the

bartender was trying to steal their bikes.”

With stories of the “Bieberpocalypse” causing mass panic in the city, Madison resi-dents are taking precautions to keep their loved ones safe.

Kirk Cameron, no relation to the actor turned televange-list, built his family a makeshift “Bieber-proof bunker.” “I got an 11-year-old daughter,” Cameron said. “No way am I letting her be swept up by that sex-crazed Canadian and his indecent fol-lowers.”

Frank Productions, the con-cert promotion company behind Freakfest, has drawn wide-spread criticism for signing Bieber’s infamous act. In a state-ment released following the neg-ative reception of residents, pub-lic relations agent Gary Johnson responded by holding up a pic-ture of Bieber, sighing and won-dering aloud if this would “bring Justin closer to me.”

Edgewater comes back from the dead, terrorizes city officials

Madison Common Council wept in terror after they dis-covered the Edgewater Hotel Project arose from the dead, threatening to haunt them for the entire upcoming biennium.

“We thought it was gone for good,” Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said early Thursday morning while holding back tears. “Someone please hand me a drink.”

The Edgewater Project was last seen roaming the streets and looking for advocates after it was kicked out of the Plaza for wasting everyone’s time

and money.Mayor Paul Soglin origi-

nally killed the Edgewater two months ago to gain revenge on Ald. Bridget Maniaci, District 2, the mother of the Edgewater, after she made a disparaging comment about his mustache.

Enraged, Soglin said the return of the Edgewater “is an unfortunate truth,” but he is eager to redeem himself when it comes to his second killing spree of the year: the Mifflin Street Block Party.

“Hasta la vista, baby,” Soglin said Thursday.

Three twenty-something-year-old girl scouts were arrested Thursday for selling heroin inside boxes of cook-ies from a seemingly innocent stand on University Avenue.

The alleged offenders, all UW-Madison students who were described by their peers as “the quiet type,” are said to have started their business soon after joining the organi-zation in 1996.

“We do more than just make dream catchers, know what I mean?” one confessed to the police.

Madison Police Department Spokesman Joel DeSpain said this unlikely incident shows

just how far and wide the recent heroin epidemic in the city has spread.

“Girl scouts,” DeSpain said with a shake of his head. “Freaking girl scouts.”

Sophomore Timothy “Tito” Harmon, an unwitting patron of the illicit business, recalled breaking into his box of Tagalongs and finding much more than just peanut butter goodness.

“I went in for a cookie, and then there was just this stuff, and I was all, ‘Sweet, braa,’” Harmon said before pausing briefly to high-five his “main bro” Kevin “Slugnuts” Loman. “But then the police took the drugs and my cookies. Totally not cool.”

On the heels of her propos-al that would allow schools to teach abstinence-only educa-tion, Sen. Mary Lazich, R-New Berlin, is preparing new legis-lation to further prevent inde-cency in Wisconsin.

“Necking is a dangerous trend sweeping the youth of our great state,” Lazich said. “It is what I call ‘gateway affection,’ as it often leads to heavy petting and, dare I say it, the intolerable, most despicable act that shall not be named.”

The legislation would go as

far as to defund schools, hos-pitals and other public insti-tutions that allow necking on the premises.

Former Gov. Jim Doyle, known for his support of sex education in secondary schools and generally loose morals, called the legislation “totally prude.”

However, Lazich insisted it was a necessary step in keep-ing young people virtuous.

“Otherwise, you will see women exposing their ankles in public and roaming the streets without girdles!”

City talks statues on squareCity officials met Thursday

to take another step forward in choosing an art statue to stand on the Rotary Centennial Plaza, just outside the Madison Children’s Museum on the Capitol Square.

Of the four finalists drawn from a pool of more than 100, city officials favored David Boyer’s “Sustainabilitree.” Boyer’s design also garnered the approval from the public and the Rotary Club.

Boyer’s “Sustainabilitree” is currently proposed as a color-ful wind sculpture constructed of stainless steel and aluminum.

Rotary Representative David Schreiber said the statue “could work in the context” of the chil-

dren’s museum. “The boldness of it is going to

grab you,” Schreiber said.Public Art Professional

Brenda Baker said that, of the proposed ideas, Boyer’s design was “the one that people would remember.”

However, the committee reviewing the art plans chose to push the final selection to a future meeting after members communicate further with Boyer to discuss suggestions they have to change his design.

Among the committee’s sug-gested revisions are increasing the statue’s height from its cur-rent 13 feet and a more elegant

design for the tree’s trunk.City officials have not com-

pletely ruled out the other three designs, especially art-ist David Dahlquist’s mosaic column, which incorporates both geographical and histori-cal focuses on Wisconsin. The committee hopes to make a final selection soon.

A pending grant from the National Endowment for the Arts will be available for the project if a chosen design is presented at the organization’s November meeting.

Ultimately, the statue built will be unveiled in June 2013.

New bill allows schools to fire employees with felonies

A bill permitting schools to refuse employment to former felons passed the state Senate Thursday.

SB 86, introduced by state Sen. Alberta Darling, R-River Hills, would allow an educa-tional agency to refuse or termi-nate employment based on an employee’s unpardoned felony.

Now off to the Assembly, the bill applies to public school districts, private and char-ter schools as well as youth-focused health organizations.

Republicans who spoke in favor of the bill said they were concerned with students’ safety, while some Democrats criti-cized the bill for what they saw as discriminating against those with criminal records.

Currently, the law allows schools to refuse to hire former felons if their crimes are related to the position in question. The new bill would enable school boards to view the whole record of an unpardoned felon and deny them a job because of it.

State Sen. Fred Risser, D-Madison, said the bill would make it more difficult for former felons to find employment.

“I don’t think the bill is in the interest of the public,” Risser said. “There’s no rela-tion between the conviction and the job. After a felon has fulfilled his obligations to society, he or she ought to be allowed to rehabilitate them-selves … into the community.”

Darling said her goal was to ensure the safety of students.

“We want educational employers to … use their best judgment about the appro-priateness of that person being a part of their school; not to discriminate but look at the person’s total experi-ence,” Darling said during the Senate session.

According to Darling, Wisconsin is one of five states that “give[s] a felon’s record as much status as race, color and creed.”

A student government committee approved Badger Catholic’s 2012-’13 budget in a meeting Thursday.

The Student Services Finance Committee passed the $160,300 budget after making minor amendments to the group’s orig-inal proposed budget.

SSFC Chair Sarah Neibart said the committee approved the funding because Badger Catholic had a responsible fis-cal budget.

“There were just a couple changes to salaries and adver-tising that were needed to make the budget as well as it could be,” Neibart said.

Also at the meeting, the committee discussed the Multicultural Student Coalition’s refusal to allow an SSFC liaison sit in on a confidential leadership team meeting.

Rep. Cale Plamann said the

committee needs to create a stan-dard for when student groups can have confidential meetings.

“We need a clear policy of what qualifies as a reason for a confidential meeting,” Plamann said.

Although the SSFC liaison and MCSC representatives said this was not an intentional pol-icy violation, SSFC Rep. David Vines said the committee needs to define what an intentional policy violation is.

“We need to have a formal policy outlining what an inten-tional policy violation is because this is serious,” Rep. David Vines said. “It would mean los-ing two years of eligibility.”

Plamann said he would draft legislation addressing the con-cerns over the weekend and report back in Monday’s com-mittee meeting.

Fable comes to life in hands of University’s Theatre Dept.By Caelin RossThe Daily CarDinal

In the world of fable, anything is possible. Yet as University Theater’s upcoming production of “Ti-Jean and His Brothers” proves, these fables can reveal a truth far more powerful than the accounts of his-tory we are told to believe.

Directed by David Furumoto, the head of UW-Madison’s Theatre Department, this West Indian folk parable written by Caribbean playwright and scholar Derek Walcott challenges audi-ences to consider the power of stories from the marginalized.

Written as an allegorical nar-rative of Ti-Jean’s tête-à-tête with a Devil hunting for humanity, the play is poetic and playful, lyri-cal and epic. Engaging the audi-ence with issues of imperialism, colonialism and oppression as the tricked becomes the trickster and the persecuted defies the persecu-tor, this play is just as relevant as it was when it was first staged over fifty years ago.

Furumoto was initially drawn to the play because of his love for fables and ghost stories, but par-ticularly the way in which the play explores serious issues.

“This play starts from a place of great myth, but because it is working on so many levels it intrigues me,” said Furumoto. “On the surface it seems to be a simple telling of a fable but there are so many layers that exist that

it will challenge an audience member to see what else is there.”

The fantastic setting of the play, the Caribbean without a specific time frame, provides a unique chal-lenge for designers to create the mythical world on stage. The myth-ical world as well as the importance of Carnivale and the way it is cel-ebrated in the Caribbean were a major pull for Furumoto.

“The way that people who have almost nothing are able to create these wonderfully imagi-native and evocative costumes was also something that really struck me, so I gave my design-ers the challenge of seeing what could be created using recycled, reused or found materials.”

Costume designer Katy Lai said this challenged her to be especially creative.

“It was a design that chang-es throughout the process as we experimented with different materials. We started thinking about what items can be easily be found like pull tabs and soda cans and paper bags, CDs. As the process went on, we realized that though some materials are really cool to use but it would be hard to make it into a costume.”

Lai also cites Alexander McQueen as an inspiration, draw-ing on the “bizarre but always beau-tiful” theme in his designs.

Furumoto further collaborated

with Professor Chris Walker from the Dance Department on campus.

“Since this play is set in the Caribbean, the way people move is very important to them becoming characters in the play. While there are dance sequences which theatri-cally help tell the story, it is how this movement is picked up by the char-acters that are most important.”

Dance becomes a major aspect of the play not only because of the mythical nature of the characters, but also to portray a central part of Caribbean culture.

“To paraphrase something Walker told us: dance is part of life in the Caribbean. Even when peo-ple are just walking there is a dance

which is going on, even what might be considered a deformity becomes something to be celebrated, the movement of someone crippled turns into a marvelous dance.”

For Ely Phan, a senior majoring in French and Theatre who plays the Devil, this part-nership is the most important aspect to the staging.

“The play is a good story, and like all good stories it comes to life. Even though it’s set in the Caribbean, there are some really universal themes, which make it seem all the more relevant. What makes the show special, though, is seeing the collaboration between the different parts of the theater.”

Time-travel back to ’90s Los Angeles: A peek at a city where gangster sensibilities and raw expression meshed together in furious and vivid rays of truth and freedom of speech in the hip-hop universe. Somewhere in this golden era, you will find a dreadlocked Nick Carter, a.k.a. MURS, in the studio cutting the songs that forged a path to his well-earned title of “the hardest working rapper alive.”

Now at age 33 he is over 15 albums deep and has worked with everyone from ANT to Aesop Rock to his new Love & Rockets album series with Ski Beatz. Sadly, his dreadlocks are no more; his vegan, alcohol-free diet and clean-shaven crew cut compliment the clean-cut image he displays that emphasizes being human over being perfect.

“I don’t believe in promoting a perfect image of myself; I believe in promoting a truth,” Carter said.

Described as “sitcom rap,” Carter possesses an uncanny ability to mesh wordplay with storytelling that negates the stereotypical nega-tivity affiliated with West Coast rap for a pure, digestible and realistic take on life that is accessible to the modern man’s hustle and the every-day struggle of existence.

“Everyday rap is not as intense or lyrical as some people and it’s not as sugar-coated as pop music is,”

Carter said. “There are not a lot of explosions or big name producers on my records, but nor is it too con-cept-driven or too-lyrical where the average everyday person couldn’t relate to it.”

Throughout his illustrious career, Carter has been signed to record labels Warner, Def Jux and Rhymesayers at different points of his career. He is currently settled under the Dame Dash-helmed DD172/BluRoc imprint. Carter founded the Paid Dues festival which now packs its venue with over 5,000 thirsty L.A. concertgo-ers. How does he remain afloat in today’s music industry?

“I’ve been touring and I’m always looking for ways to make sure I’m doing different things and not just focusing on all my income coming from record sales or tour-ing,” Carter said. “I run a festival, I’ve done DVDs, I try to branch out and do as much as possible and not just focus on rapping for money.”

As a hardened veteran in the underground, Carter maintains his West Coast authenticity with polished touches of humor, aggres-sion and sincerity. His passion-ate attitude translates through his performance as well. It has been reported that he busted a blood ves-sel in his eye on tour in 2010 due to his on-stage intensity stretching far beyond his body’s limitations. As the repetitive blogosphere and

bloodthirsty hip-hop fans continue their never-ending search for “the real,” Carter is not afraid to allow his imperfections show through his music and his daily life.

“The ‘real’ is in danger in a soci-ety that’s based on capitalism where everything has to be commoditized and put into a box to be sold. They want you to be all one way, and if not, you’re not real.” Carter said. “But to me, being ‘real’ is being a contradiction. We all contradict ourselves. No one is perfect. There’s no one that does everything they say they’re gonna do every single day, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try, nor should you act like you’re perfect.”

This weekend, Carter takes to the Freakfest 2011 lineup in down-town Madison on a promotional run for his new album with Ski Beatz entitled Love & Rockets Vol. 1: The Transformation. If you happen to see him on the Gilman Stage, be prepared to indulge in fine-tailored tales of a humbled, hardworking human being who is unafraid to acknowledge his own struggles.

“I don’t want to make anything I do look easy to anyone. I don’t want to be held up as some symbol of perfection,” said Carter. “I just want to be me. I can’t be me unless I give people the whole picture. That may hurt my sales or my marketing or my message, but my only message is to try to do your best.”

I t’s finally arrived. The weekend that Spring Semester would kill to lay

claim too. The weekend you get to kick off your month-long plot to get drunk in a jager-bomber costume to eventually “blow” everyone’s minds. Yup. It’s Halloween weekend. And whether or not you out-wow your roommates with the most unique get-up doesn’t even matter, because your friends are in town and there’s plenty of beer to go around. And with all that fun, who knows what the night will bring. Right?

Unfortunately, this question always seems to raise concern for Madison and the local police department. As Halloween brings Freakfest to the streets, it also attracts a flood of parties that are nothing short of alco-hol induced shit shows littered with incoherent clowns dressed as buffoons who are just having “the best night ever!” That said, it’s no surprise students find themselves in a tangled web of drunken mistakes.

What does raise an eyebrow, however, is the fact that the rowdiest of these rambunctious vandals are from out of state.

Every year, thousands of students travel to Madison to see their friends, partake in Halloween festivities and get a taste of the nightlife. And every year the majority of arrests and crimes committed over the weekend are by non-residents. Pushing students to proclaim to the Madison Police Department (“Mean Girls” style) “She doesn’t even go here!”

While the city continues to expect a large influx of non-residents at Freakfest, this year administrators decided to further decrease a police pres-ence at the event. Saying that Frank Productions is largely in charge, the Madison Police Department has reduced the number of officers on duty and completely opted out of having its special events team work Freakfest Friday night. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see a drunk, lost Waldo get mixed up with the blind rage of Odlaw, but the more sober people around to break up any fights the better.

This reduced number of law enforcement is especially sur-prising considering the fact that UTrippin, a college-focused bussing company, decided to streamline the event and make a few bucks by offering direct trips from Northwestern University to Madison. The company even offers Freakfest tickets upon purchase to draw in more con-sumers and has taken on the responsibility of warning older adults that they may feel uncom-

fortable at the event.And after the crimes com-

mitted at last year’s Mifflin Street Block Party, they are probably right. With two stab-bings and soaring arrests, an event like that is probably not comfortable for anyone. I hate to ask the city for more strin-gent police control, but after the city vehemently threat-ened to shut down Mifflin due to safety concerns how on earth can the city justify removing a strong police pres-ence at one of Madison’s top binge-drinking fests?

Money. And if I were a bet-ting woman, I would risk a whole Freakfest ticket to prove it. With the cost rising to $12 a pop, I’m guessing a reduction in law

enforcement is the best economical choice for the city to break even. Unfortunately, the money and time a police reduction saves may not be worth the potential two stab-bings it leads too. I just don’t want the city to come crying next year if a violent crime is committed; one that could have been prevented.

All in all, I am not asking the police to break up a ground-shat-tering kegger on Orchard, or write a drinking ticket to the hysterical “Sarah Palin” who lost her friends.

I’m simply asking the city to pro-vide Freakfest and the surround-ing area with enough police power to keep the out-of-state trouble-makers in check. So whether or not you want to go as someone from the Blue Man Group or Tobias Funke, remember what your mom said, “have fun this weekend and be safe!”

With Gaddafi regime over, challenges still ahead for LibyaAndrewThompsonOpiniOn cOlumnist

With the death of Muammar Gaddafi this past weekend, Libyans celebrated the end to 43 years of tyranny and seven long months of civil war that has brought out the best—and worst—in Libyans. Surely Western political leaders who championed NATO interven-tion in the conflict are also cel-ebrating the victory. However, the reality of the situation is that the death of Gaddafi marks only a small military victory. As the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have proven, removing a dictator with mili-tary force is the easy part and only the first step. Rebuilding a functioning state will be much harder.

If the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan teach us any-thing, it is that nation-build-ing is a long-term process. America has embarked upon other nation-building exer-cises in its past, and those in charge have generally applied the lessons of the last occupa-tion to the current one.

Former UW-Madison and current University of Texas-Austin professor Jeremi Suri, in his latest book, “Liberty’s Surest Guardian,” uses several examples to demonstrate how Americans are fundamentally a nation-building people: the American Civil War, The Philippine-American War, the occupation of Germany, the war in Vietnam and the Global War on Terror. Sometimes it has worked, and sometimes it has not.

Suri points to five practices that are common in American nation-building successes. The Obama administration and other Western leaders would be wise to consider these princi-ples as the rebuilding in Libya begins. Suri lists these prin-

ciples as the “5 P’s”: Partners, Process, Problem Solving, Purpose and People.

First and foremost, the West must be a partner to the Libyan people. By working with and through Libyans, NATO and its allies can influence the future direction of Libyan poli-tics towards democratic repre-sentation—but it must be the Libyan’s choice.

Western leaders must com-mit to a long-term nation-build-ing process in Libya. Nation-building does not happen over-night because it takes time to build legitimate functioning state institutions. The West must be prepared for setbacks, one of which is the potential rise of Islamists to power. Of course, this is a choice for the Libyan people alone to make. Western governments can and should attempt to influence Libya’s choices, but in the end Libyan citizens will need to make the decision. There must be a connection between deci-sions made in foreign capitals and the reality of life in Libya.

Nation-building in Libya

must be to solve real-world problems that confront the Libyan people and their re-integration into the world com-munity of states. The ultimate goal of Western intervention in Libya must be to forge a sustainable life and future for the Libyan people. The West intervened to protect Libyan civilians from the cruelties of the Gaddafi regime; with that result achieved, there must be further purpose for interven-tion in Libya.

It is important for Western powers to help stabilize the country and prevent a down-ward spiral toward a destruc-tive civil war as rival factions fight for power. It is also impor-tant that Libyans find their own

way. After all, nation-building is essentially about helping the nation’s people. As Suri puts it, “Nation-building is about peo-ple. Large forces do not move history. People move history.”

The death of Gaddafi and end of his regime have heralded a new era in Libya, but large and numerous challenges remain. It may seem as though Western intervention in Libya should come to a close with Gaddafi out of the picture, but the histo-ry of American nation-building points to this place in time as a beginning, not an end. The West can provide help and advice, but must stop short of dictat-ing how Libyans should repair their country. Ultimately, it is up to the Libyan people to take hold of the opportunity before them and choose their future direction, and Western leaders would be wise to stay out of the way. After all, democracy only works when the people of a society choose it.

with what is sure to be an excit-ed crowd of over 100,000, has the potential to make that more difficult. The Badgers have as much experience playing on the national stage as anybody this year as this is their fourth 7 p.m. kickoff of the season.

“I love playing night games,” Toon said. “It’s one of the things

you miss when you leave high school. Most of the time when you play at night it’s a prime-time game.”

The Badgers started fast against Michigan State and played well in the fourth quarter. By the end of the game, UW had the statistics to keep their rank-ings near the top of the country in nearly every offensive catego-ry. The Badgers average 10 more

points (47.4 per game) than any other team in the Big Ten and is fifth in the country. Junior run-ning back Montee Ball topped 115 yards in each of his last three games and leads the country with 19 total touchdowns. As a team, the Buckeyes have 20.

“We love it when that stage is set,” Ball said. “This week we have to make sure that we capi-talize on it.”

try together in practice and we played together a bit last week-end; I feel comfortable playing with him,” he added.

“I’m just trying to keep it simple,” Springer said of his newfound role. “Playing with Justin Schultz is pretty easy, he does a lot of the work for you. A lot of the time you’re just giving him the puck and letting him make plays.”

Schultz added that Wisconsin’s now re-configured defense—which includes junior John Ramage now being paired with freshman Patrick Daly—will be tested by a Nebraska-Omaha offense that has scored 19 goals in six games this season.

“The main thing [we’re working on] is defensive zone coverage and not giving Omaha a lot of good scoring chances,” Schultz said. “They’re going to come at us, pressuring us defen-semen hard and forcing us to make good plays. It will be a good test for us.”

So far this season, the Badgers have displayed a resil-iency not common among teams as young as they are. Last Friday against North Dakota was the first time UW scored first in any of its games this year, meaning Wisconsin has had to fight back every time out.

“It’s been great to see, it’s probably been one of our strengths is that resiliency,” Eaves said. “Being behind, coming back, not playing well, but not hanging our heads and moping about it. We just keep going out there and playing hard and see if we can get some-thing going again.”

Players believe that this team’s youth helps foster that never-give-up mentality.

“We haven’t given up even when we’ve lost or we have to come back from behind we have responded well after that,” Zengerle said. “Coach Eaves always says that’s because we’re a young team and we just go out and play and I think there is truth to that.”

Division I program. The Badgers anticipate a different feel to the game solely due to a higher level of experience among BU’s skat-ers.

It stands to reason that a pro-gram that reaches the Frozen Four and even a national cham-pionship game in their first sea-son can only get better.

The Badgers will have to deal with the Terriers gain in experi-ence by throwing their own experi-ence into the ring, experience that comes from an unlikely source: Wisconsin’s underclassmen.

It is to be expected that the big names such as senior for-ward Hilary Knight and junior forward Brianna Decker will play a significant role in every game that the Badgers partici-pate in. But as it has often been seen this season already, the play of the sophomore and freshman skaters is what makes this year’s Badgers as solid as they are.

“The thing that has impressed me the most is [how they are] playing defensive hockey,” head coach Mark Johnson said about the play of his younger skat-

ers. “We talk about bending but don’t break and the young kids have done a good job of being on the ice with some of the top players in the country and real-ly haven’t flinched.”

The experience that these younger players have gained during this tough stretch of games will only help the Badgers continue to win, even in games that there is seemingly

no advantage.As Wisconsin prepares to

enter this series, one can only dwell on the successes of one season ago and look ahead to the challenge in front of them. But of all the games so far this season, this weekend’s opponent has only one thing on their mind, the disappointment that the Badgers left with them as they skated off the ice.

There is no time for a hang-over effect this week.

The No. 12 Badgers (2-1 Big Ten, 6-1 overall) play their second consecutive nation-ally televised contest Saturday night, this time taking on Ohio State (1-2, 4-3) at Ohio Stadium in Columbus.

The Buckeyes are still try-ing to find their offensive iden-tity this year as they continue to gel around true freshman quarterback Braxton Miller. He took over for senior Joe

Bauserman, who was wholly ineffective for OSU early in the year. The insertion of Miller—along with the return of play-makers, including tackle Mike Adams and running back Dan Herron—has helped stabilize the Ohio State offense. Still, the Buckeyes are averaging just 23.3 points per game this year, ninth in the Big Ten.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Buckeyes have been much more consistent. At just 16.1 points allowed per game, Ohio State has kept itself in games despite the suspect offense by shutting down opposing offenses at opportune times. Junior safe-ties Ohrian Johnson and C.J. Barnett anchor a secondary that, like many before them in Columbus, have a knack for making big plays.

“They have a lot of speed,” sophomore UW wide receiver Jared Abbrederis said. “That’s the thing that strikes me, their

DBs are athletic.”Despite all the controver-

sy the Buckeyes have dealt with over the past months, a rematch with the team that ended their national title hopes last year has surely been marked on the calendar.

The Badgers know something about having their national title hopes dashed after suffering a last-second lost at the hands of Michigan State last weekend. Still, with a division opponent and conference championship implications on the line, senior wide receiver Nick Toon said focus will not be an issue.

“We watched the film on Sunday, corrected everything and that was the end of it,” said Toon, who finished with two catches a week ago, but disap-peared at times.

“You have to move on to the next one.”

Men’s Hockey

Retooled defense looks for success against Nebraska-OmahaBy ryan evansthe daily cardinal

Last weekend was a big step forward for the Wisconsin men’s hockey team (2-2 WCHA, 3-3 overall).

After a frustrating start to the season that included three overtime losses, the Badgers rebounded and came up with a huge sweep of conference rival North Dakota. But it doesn’t get any easier from here as UW welcomes Nebraska-Omaha (2-0 WCHA, 3-3 overall) to the Kohl Center for another crucial WCHA matchup.

Against the Mavericks, Wisconsin will try to build on the momentum created by its sweep of the then-No. 5 ranked Fighting Sioux.

“[To do that] against a team like [North Dakota] that has the reputation they do around col-lege hockey, that’s going to boost up a team’s confidence,” sopho-more forward Mark Zengerle said. “I think everyone is feeling good but I think everyone knows how important this weekend is too. The schedule doesn’t get much easier.”

The Badgers lineup will look a bit different this weekend against Nebraska-Omaha. Freshman defenseman Jake McCabe suf-

fered a cut tendon in his hand during last Friday’s game against UND and immediately had sur-gery on it that will sideline the blue liner for 5-8 weeks, accord-ing to UW head coach Mike Eaves. McCabe has played with junior defenseman Justin Schultz on Wisconsin’s top defensive and power play pairings this season. In his absence, senior defender Eric Springer will pair alongside Schultz on both units.

Schultz said that he feels confident moving forward with Springer alongside him.

“Springer has been here for a while and he knows what’s going on out there,” Schultz said about the power play. “We’ve looked good out there and we’ll be fine; we’ve practiced it a lot.”

“We have some good chemis-

freshman defender Jake Mccabe’s injury forced the shuffling of Wisconsin’s defensive lines heading into the weekend.

Women’s Hockey

Badgers set for rematch of national championship with Boston UniversityBy Matthew kleistthe daily cardinal

For the Wisconsin Badgers (5-1-0 WCHA, 7-1-0 overall), it may seem like every opponent they face has it in for them. It’s true, and for good reason. There stands a reasonable chance that Wisconsin ended their season last year.

Winning everything that there was possible to win for the Badgers, they entered this season as the team that every-one just plain wanted to beat. Whether they ended your hopes of postseason play, knocked you out of the playoffs or defeat-ed you in overtime to win the WCHA title, you hold a grudge

against them.But no one wants revenge

more than Boston University. The Terriers (0-0-0 Hockey East, 5-1-0 overall) were the last team that had their season ended by the Badgers. However, this one hurt more than any other. BU’s 4-1 defeat by the hands of then-No. 1 ranked Wisconsin came in the national championship game, the most important game of the season.

Now the Terriers travel to Madison in hopes of taking down a Wisconsin team seemly destined to return to the top.

“[Boston University] hasn’t forgotten about last season,” said senior forward Carolyne

Prevost. “They’re going to be coming out flying.”

Despite these two teams meet-ing in last year’s national cham-pionship game, the Wisconsin players and coaches do not expect any similarities between this series and that game.

“I don’t think that we can base this game off of last sea-son,” Prevost said. “Both of these squads have changed since then.”

Much of this has to do with, as Prevost mentioned, that the teams are not the same.

Boston University is entering only their second season as a
