Tiki Shack liquor license up for debateBy Patricia JohnsonTHE DAILY CARDINAL

A fight that broke out in the Tiki Shack bar involving a 15-year-old and 19-year-old Saturday was the final incident that led the city attorney to post-pone the meeting for current bar managers trying to receive a liquor license at the Alcohol License Review Committee’s

Wednesday meeting. According to a Madison Police

Department incident report, 19-year-old Mark Sanders and the 15-year-old Madison resi-dent got in a dispute with other patrons in the bar located at 124 State St. One employee received a chipped tooth from Sanders who was arrested and cited for underage drinking.

“Just the mere fact that a 15-year-old was allegedly able to gain access to the bar is extreme-ly troubling,” Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said. “This is not the first time Tiki Shack has had issues with underage individuals drinking in the bar.”

The Tiki Shack has had numerous infractions that led to the city attorney’s decision

for referral. One of the current managers, Caleb Percevecz, was arrested in October for punching an 18-year-old man and breaking his tooth. Percevecz currently has pending charges for substantial battery and disorderly conduct.

Prior to Percevecz’s incident, Tiki Shack owner Joseph Vale was going to face disciplinary matters before the ALRC until

that agenda item was referred. Vale has a conviction report with multiple counts of serving alco-hol to underage patrons and one count of an intoxicated employee. The city attorney said the manag-ers’ licensing and Vale’s punish-ment should be handled during the same meeting.

ASM hears presentation on UW-Madison’s involvement in sexual assault preventionBy Madeline HeimTHE DAILY CARDINAL

The Associated Students of Madison Coordinating Council heard a presentation Wednesday from the End Violence on Campus program on how UW-Madison students can get involved with ending sexual assault.

University Health Services cre-ated the EVOC initiative in an effort to prevent violence before it hap-pens as well as provide services for victims of sexual assault, dating and domestic violence and stalking.

EVOC representative Samantha Johnson outlined the program’s role in the White House’s recent It’s On Us, a movement challeng-ing college students to see the indi-vidual role they can take to prevent

sexual assault in their community. Johnson explained what stu-

dents on campus can do to sup-port the campaign, specifically describing the importance of being active bystanders in poten-tially harmful situations.

“The very first step is actually saying that ‘I am proud to repre-sent UW-Madison in this way and I’m not afraid to voice my support for survivors,’” Johnson said.

UW-Madison intends to sign on as an official partner of the campaign next week, according to Johnson.

ASM Chair Genevieve Carter also discussed the release of the 2013-2014 Campus Strategic

Meet Mike ShepherdBy Hallie MellendorfTHE DAILY CARDINAL

One might not expect to hear recitations of Shakespeare in the lobby of Porchlight’s single room occupancy housing, but Mike Shepherd would catch skeptics off guard.

It has been well over 30 years since Shepherd played Sampson in his high school’s production of Romeo and Juliet, but he still nails the line.

“On my word we shall not carry coal,” Shepherd professes. “I mean, an we be in choler, we will draw.”

Though he recites

Shakespearian verses from a wheelchair, Shepherd’s vocal authority and expressive hand gestures create a delivery wor-thy of the grand stage.

A dormant staph bacteria in Shepherd’s spine bound him to a wheelchair five years ago and also claimed much of his motor ability.

Shepherd’s disability forced him to prematurely stop working as a janitor in many UW-Madison campus buildings.

However, he maintains a positive attitude about his state of affairs.

“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” Shepherd laughed.

Shepherd now lives at the Brooks Street Single Room Occupancy, tucked just behind Xo1 off University Avenue, with assistance from Porchlight, a corporation that provides affordable housing and servic-es to homeless individuals and families throughout Madison.

Of the current 100 residents, there are only five without a mental or cognitive disability, according to Shepherd.

In addition to living in the SRO, Shepherd now collects food stamps, social security dis-

Wisconsin congressional delegation divided on unsuccessful Keystone XL Pipeline vote Senate Democrats denied

approval of the Keystone XL Pipeline’s construction Tuesday by a single vote, preventing the bill from an expected veto override from President Barack Obama.

The oil pipeline that would run

south from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico has been a highly debated development for the Obama admin-istration. Republicans support the pipeline’s potential for job creation while Democrats and environmen-talists oppose it.

U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., who voted against the bill, said in a statement that the deci-sion for the pipeline ultimately rests with the administration.

“Congress should not be in the business of approving individu-

al pipelines, and I have concerns about the precedent this would set,” Baldwin said in an email.

U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., who voted in favor of the bill, said in a release he is disappointed because of the positive effects the

pipeline would have on jobs and energy costs.

“Democrats’ failure to support this legislation is a prime example of the dysfunction in Washington

Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch discusses how to improve economic conditions for female entrepreneurs at a forum Wednesday.

Percevecz and another Tiki Shack manager, Daniel Mijal, would have met with ALCR members to discuss a possible liquor license for the bar Wednesday. Mijal and Percevecz had plans to take over the bar and convert it into a restaurant with island-themed cuisine.

Verveer said the fate of Vale’s liquor license will be determined at the next meeting Dec. 17. ALRC

members will have to consider demerit points added to the license which could result in suspension or revocation depending on the amount of points.

The city attorney also has the choice to file a motion before the ALRC to suspend or revoke Tiki Shack’s liquor license.

“Frankly, given what informa-tion I have today,” Verveer said, “I would say that there’s a pretty good case for suspension or revocation.”

Rec Sports Master Plan aims to adopt sustainability measures in facilities, fields

The director of Recreational Sports presented environmen-tally focused updates on the Rec Sports Master Plan to mem-bers of the Associated Students of Madison Sustainability Committee Wednesday.

The Master Plan is a proj-ect currently underway to ren-ovate various athletic facilities on campus. It was approved for partial student funding in a ref-erendum last spring.

Using an environmental impact study before any con-struction starts, Director of Recreational Sports John Horn said he hopes to use the results as a guide, with a large sustain-ability influence throughout the Master Plan.

“I can assure you sustainabil-ity has been a main theme of this

as we moved it forward through the referendum,” Horn said.

The first goal of the four-step plan is to revamp the Near West fields, replacing the grass with non-rubber, organic synthetic turf, according to Horn. Later projects include a renovation of the Natatorium, Southeast Recreational Facility and Near East fields.

Horn said he advocates a plan that uses energy from cardio machines and solar panels to partially power the indoor facilities.

Using the University of Colorado Boulder as a tem-plate, Rec Sports is designing a process at the SERF known as “backwashing” using re-fil-tered water from the pool to the planned ice rink.

The Master Plan includes the addition of green roofs on top of both the SERF and Nat, a place to grow food used in a Wellness Program and cooking classes open to freshmen living in resi-dence halls.

Although a contractor has not yet been chosen for the proj-ect, Horn plans for the Master Plan to be completed entirely by 2022.

Sustainability Committee Chair Kyla Kaplan said ASM created the Rec Sports Advising Committee so members can communicate with Rec Sports, giving students an opportunity to help design the new facilities. Three Sustainability Committee members currently sit on the Advising Committee.

Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch celebrates female business leaders at forum in MadisonBy Andrew BahlTHE DAILY CARDINAL

Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch dis-cussed improving conditions for female business owners statewide during a roundtable discussion with a group of female entrepre-neurs Wednesday.

The forum, a partnership between the Doyenne Group, the Madison Community Foundation and American Family Insurance, discussed issues ranging from the avail-ability of funding to the vast dis-parity between male and female-led startups.

“What can we do as a state to encourage women to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams?“ Kleefisch asked. “We want to ensure that Wisconsin is com-petitive when it comes to women starting small businesses and we want everyone to succeed and be at the table.”

One of the key topics dis-cussed was how female entre-preneurs can secure capital for their projects.

Lorrie Heinemann, for-mer secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions and vice president of the BrightStar Foundation, a group which funds early stage

start ups, said a major problem is that women are underrepresented in the financial sector.

“If you take a look at the website of the vast majority of venture capi-tal firms, it’s all white males,” she said, adding only one in every ten female entrepreneurs can secure funding for their projects. “Women don’t have the power at the bank level and the venture level because people want to take the risk on people who look like themselves.”

Kleefisch predicts the topics discussed will be important policy issues when the state Legislature reconvenes in January.

“This is definitely something that will come up because it deals with job creation,” she said. “We need to make sure our entrepre-neurs have access to capital.”

Claire Matejka, founder of the home organizing company Life: Organized, sees events like the roundtable as important for help-ing entrepreneurs like herself.

“I think there are a lot of issues that relate to women and are coming up in my business but there is a lot of brainstorm-ing going on that is beneficial,” Matejka said. “I look forward to seeing more of these events in the future to help us move forward with our businesses.”

ability income and unemploy-ment benefits.

When Shepherd first applied for housing in 1984, he said he was only on the waitlist for approximately two weeks.

As interviews with past Capitol Profile subjects have revealed, those currently on the waitlist could remain there there for as long as three years.

“Madison’s homeless prob-lem has become so vast,” Shepherd said.

He expressed overall content-ment with his living situation and described the SRO much like a dorm. There is a kitchen

on each floor as well as shared bathrooms and showers.

Despite similarities to some student housing options, there is a visible juxtaposition between the luxurious Xo1 apartments and the Porchlight SRO situated in its shadow.

When asked about this con-trast, Shepherd did not appear bitter but merely expressed his gratitude for a place to live at all.

“I like the students,” Shepherd said. “I find that I’m friendly to the students, so they are friendly to me.”

Shepherd said he has con-sidered leaving the SRO to live with one of his younger three

siblings in other parts of the state, but he is reluctant to leave Madison because of how conducive the city is to living with a disability.

“Here the bus service has a ramp where you can take a wheel-chair onto it and the bus driver will strap you in,” Shepherd said. “But if I move back to Platteville, everything is on the outskirts, there is no downtown.”

Therefore, Shepherd said he cannot see himself leaving Madison, or the SRO, anytime in the near future.

He continues to spend his days absorbing the lessons of the History Channel and com-pleting crossword puzzles.

and how their policies have hurt our economy,” Johnson said in the release.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry recommended denial of the application because of the rushed deadline, according to a press release. President Obama said he agrees because of the

negative effects that may have been caused by the rushed dead-line for approval.

Obama said in the release congressional Republicans neg-ligently forced a deadline that did not allow the State Department enough time for a full assess-ment on the pipeline’s health and safety impact.

Carter explained that while communication with stu-dents had been an effort of the Framework in the past, this year’s drafting of the document did not include ASM.

The Council discussed several

aspects of the plan they felt they could contribute to, including the document’s mention of the Wisconsin Idea.

Legislative Affairs Committee Chair Tom Gierok said he would have liked to see a better defini-tion of the idea in the document, as well as more tangible applica-tions of the idea.

Carter said it would be appro-priate for ASM to communicate with the new provost regarding the framework.

“If nothing else, it would be valuable to have a conversation with the provost about our val-ues and our vision for what stu-dents should be experiencing,” Carter said.

Nick Cave brings persona to film forumBy Cameron GraffThe Daily CarDiNal

Nick Cave has never really been himself. In all his oeuvre, he’s always played the role of obser-vational poet; his work, while sometimes intensely personal, is always marked by the unmistak-able sense of voyeurism, of look-ing in at another’s life. From The Bad Seeds’ first venomous 1983 recording of Leonard Cohen’s “Avalanche” to the metatextual eeriness of 2013’s “Finishing Jubilee Street,” he has lived the necessary lie of the poet. Even his frequent artistic self-presentation, a product of English post-punk aesthetics and Southern gothic hellfire, contradicts the reality of his Melbourne upbringing.

And now, with “20,000 Days on Earth,” Cave (along with co-writers and directors Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard) has found a way to syn-thetically invent himself as creator, as well. The film suggests it’s an unbiased portrait of Cave’s 20,000 day, from when he wakes up to when he crawls into bed (which is, tellingly, never actually shown) but immediately that isn’t the case.

Instead we get set cameras that stage the scene, a wife whose face never fits into the frame, clearly scripted monologues that Cave intones in his Australian brogue over the action. In effect, what we’re presented is an absurdist documen-tary, a long laugh that Cave exhumes

at the thought of any “objective” portrayal of reality—poetic, prosaic or otherwise—could ever be real.

The uncanny disreality of the presentation allows for some won-derfully surreal moments. Cave, in the throes of angst regarding his advancing age, is magically visited during intermissions in his car by figures from his past. The scenes may be written, directed even, but there’s a sense of bizarre psycho-projection that comes through the sculpted clay.

For instance, Cave speaks with longtime ally Blixa Bargeld and the two air out the differences that led to their split after 2003’s (admit-tedly lackluster) Nocturama; with (bizarrely enough) English actor Ray Winstone over nationality and the creep of oldness, and with Kylie Minogue (dueling vocalist on Cave’s ’90s hit “Where the Wild Roses Grow”) who shares little per-formance anecdotes that make the usually stoic gargoyle Cave laugh, a crack in his character.

All of it feels a little like Cave talking to himself while traversing the countryside, playing his own therapist—but if the encounters themselves are staged, the subjects they divulge are carefully controlled and intentional.

In between drives Cave dips into reality for moments of stabilizing lucidity. He stops by his therapist’s office and discusses his tumultu-ous early life: his loves, his shows,

his drug abuse and his relation-ship with his long deceased father. Later he meets up with current Bad Seeds’ violinist and frequent soundtrack collaborator Warren Ellis for a cooked eel lunch and recording for 2013’s Push the Sky Away—an album that, appropri-ately, was largely dominated by the increasing influence of Ellis’s ghost-ly loops and haunting string work. Finally, Cave reviews material for

his archives and then stops home to watch a surreally violent movie with his two kids (the camera slow-ly zooms out facing them on the couch and they laugh and eat pizza as the sound of explosions and gun-fire echo from the television).

It’s a strange mix of realism and mumbling dream logic, grounded all by Cave’s looming mortality and his compulsion to rational-ize it and maybe even justify it

through his music. The film itself, meanwhile, suc-

ceeds in justifying its existence not as a portrait of the artist but rather a portrait of the artist as he con-ceives himself to be. Cave has, in this bizarre pseudo-documentary, managed to capture a crystalliza-tion of who he is artistically —after all, his work has always spoken strongest of all. It makes sense that nothing would ever fit his character immortalization as well as a movie he wrote and directed.

And even if you’re a not a die-hard fan, there’s still plenty to be enjoyed here. Stripped of all the necessary in-references of a tra-ditional documentary, the piece almost works instead as a tradi-tional film—given you can stom-ach art-house introspection and character study.

The film also features gor-geous cinematography and a few live performances that showcase the final products of Cave’s in-studio noodlings throughout the film (and highlight his oft-discussed Dionysian wildness on stage) to serve as a sort of explosive climax to all the soul-searching. And if the film comes to any concrete conclusion, it’s that making music and letting it loose on the world is the thing Nick Cave does best. Watching it finally happen is truly rewarding, no matter what your personal stakes in the matter are.

“How on earth did we man-age to play those games with the annoying beep-boop music on repeat?” That’s the question I was met with while discussing NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) games with a classmate of mine. It’s true classic games like “Bubble Bobble” and “Space Harrier” had tracks that looped for far too long; even games with multiple memorable themes, like “Metroid” or “The Legend of Zelda,” have 60-second loops that might extend upwards of 20 min-utes, depending on your skill.

If these games had music as buoyant as Sega’s 1986 arcade classic “Fantasy Zone,” we might never complain. Though “Fantasy Zone” offers multiple versions of its core music (later offering a few less-memorable melodies) it scarcely requires the variation. Absurdly upbeat, “Fantasy Zone” offers a light, childlike experi-ence, widely different from other games in its genre.

“Fantasy Zone” is a shooter most like Eugene Jarvis’ 1981 all-time great, “Defender.” In each, the player controls a ship that scrolls around a level map from left to right, adjusting height as the players see fit. The map loops, allowing the player to race for-ward without losing sight of the game’s objectives. This height-ened mobility is drastically dif-ferent from that of contemporary shooters like “Space Invaders” or “Galaga,” introducing height as a dimension to navigate a maze of

foes and their bullet fire.The games primarily diverge

in terms of objective and aesthetic, whereas “Defender” is a hostage-rescue game with sparse graph-ics and a harsh attitude, “Fantasy Zone” is aggressively about target-ing enemy bases. Each level holds 10 bases, and when destroyed, a boss arrives and must be defeated before the player can move on to the next level.

Credited as creating the “cute-’em-up” movement, “Fantasy Zone” is a game that features sur-real foes (teardrops with eyes that fly like ghosts, a fearsome army of snowmen and bats with googly eyes) that utilize the artistic styl-ing of a children’s cartoon.

Conversely, the gameplay is harsh and expert. Navigating even the game’s first world requires an impressive degree of control over your ship—the ene-mies swarm in huge numbers, often coming from offscreen just in front of your own ship. Defeating your foes often causes coins to drop—collecting enough coins allows the player to buy upgrades if a “shop” balloon hap-pens to appear.

These upgrades, however, require just as deft a hand. The

upgraded weapons all have very limited ammo, requiring the player to be careful when uti-lizing them, and the upgraded ship parts (including improved engines and superior wings) make the ship faster and more agile while simultaneously mak-ing the ship more unwieldy and difficult to control. These ele-ments, when combined with the number of enemies on screen (almost always appearing in groups of five or six, often with many groups on screen together) coalesce to make an extremely stressful gauntlet.

These features combine to make a very compelling play experience. The game is cer-tainly not perfect. Often, I found myself very irate when enemies appeared from offscreen to take one of my few remaining lives, especially considering that losing a ship would also mean losing all the earned upgrades thus far, which became more expensive as the game continued.

But the loop had no interest in stopping. The speed of the upgraded ship, the mental chal-lenge of evading the sea of foes and plotting against the enemies ahead ensured a complicated relationship with my pilot, Opa-Opa. Maybe it can be rough to play these old games, but even then, you’ll always be able to pull me back to the dance floor so long as I could hear that beep-boop music.

If you have good video game soundtracks to recommend, send them to Alex at aloven-dahl@wisc.edu.

RECORD ROUTINE

Andy Stott spins pretty melancholyon new album Faith In Strangers

By Rose LundyThe Daily CarDiNal

On his latest record, Faith In Strangers, Andy Stott takes his time creating suspense and ten-sion. The electronic producer from Manchester, England has steadily improved and trans-formed his sound since his debut album, Merciless, eight years ago on the Modern Love label. Stott stands out from fel-low musicians in the techno genre by stretching out songs, musical phrases and even notes.

The first tracks, “Time Away” and “Violence,” are patient and foreboding. Stott spends nine minutes of the 53-minute album simply build-ing anticipation with drawn-out notes before he even introduces a consistent beat. When the beat does arrive, it is jarring and it shocks the listener with intermittent electronic ripples that pierce the smooth calm like shots of adrenaline. Paired with the haunting hum of vocalist Alison Skidmore, Stott’s former piano teacher, the result is a ter-rifying, twisted lullaby.

Stott speeds the album up

again with the shimmery “No Surrender.” The track begins with the flutter of constant wind chimes, but quickly trans-forms into something entirely different. The chimes become harsher as the beat ramps up like a train slowly picking up speed in the countryside. The chugging rapidly progresses into robotic chirping and beep-ing, converting “No Surrender” from cheerful to sinister.

Faith In Strangers ends on a good note with the track “Missing.” Lacerating beats trip frenetically as Skidmore whis-pers indistinguishable words over the top, creating more of a mood than describing a picture. Her voice stays with you as the clicking rhythm fades out.

As a whole, Faith In Strangers is very intricate and intriguing; the complex rhythms and the melancholy style make the record an ideal study soundtrack. However, the album feels excessively elec-tronic and impersonal, as if it is the creation of a machine in a science fiction novel, not of a human being. The result is interesting music and engaging themes that unfortunately don’t say much of anything.

But perhaps Stott wasn’t trying to say anything at all. Perhaps he simply wanted a weird, terrifying, other-worldly record that sounded uniquely his own. In that case, he succeeded.

Rating: A-

Melvin Gordon spends fourth quarter at The Kollege Klub By Brett KlinknerThe Daily CarDiNal

This past Saturday evening, complementing his record-break-ing rushing performance and fol-lowing Badger football’s famous Jump Around tradition, running back Melvin Gordon decided to bail on the remainder of the lopsided matchup versus conference rival Nebraska and run all the way from Camp Randall to The Kollege Klub.

Immediately following the run that gave UW a 52-17 lead and broke the all-time, single-game FBS rush-ing record—a 26-yard touchdown that capped the third quarter and was ultimately his final play in the game—Gordon proceeded to run straight through the endzone, into the team tunnel, and all the way to the popular college bar that sits at the intersection of Lake and Langdon Street, commonly referred to as “The KK.”

“Yeah, I didn’t even know I was close to the record, I was kind of just running away,” Gordon told inquir-ing journalists from his remote location, in between vodka sodas. “When it’s KK Time, it’s KK Time.”

An NFL scout who wit-nessed this supplemental one-mile sprint has reported a time of 84.6 seconds, almost enough for Gordon’s second record-breaker of the night but falling just short of former Badger run-ning back Montee Ball’s 83.1 sec-ond mark that came two years prior following a late-October win against Minnesota.

“Melvin Gordon! Melvin Gordon!” the crowd roared in the second half. Little did they know, Gordon was 10 blocks away, double-fisting drinks.

The Kollege Klub is a cam-pus-renowned partying nook for many Badger athletes, where the beer flows like wine and football fans instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. Many of these fans may be cat-egorized under the not-uncom-mon collegiate sect of “jersey chasers,” who populate such taverns with dire hopes of earning the affection of locally famous athletic talents.

“There’s certainly a lot of fun to be had at ‘The KK,’” linebacker Marcus Trotter told the press after the game before joining Gordon at the team’s favorite watering hole.

“Sometimes it can be tough coming back out onto the field after halftime with that in the back of your mind.”

“Hey, Melv! Order me a tray of Fireball shots,” co-quarterback

Tanner McEvoy could be heard yelling into his phone outside of the postgame media room. “Yes, obvi-ously on Barry’s tab!”

At press time, a group of fraterni-

ty brothers occupying a corner table at the KK were becoming increas-ingly concerned that Gordon was singlehandedly monopolizing the attention of the bar’s women.

UW’s thank you video done in bad taste

T his Saturday marks the beginning of the gun deer season in

Wisconsin. Just as they do every year, thousands of hunters will put on their blaze orange and flood the state’s forests, marshes and other natural areas as a part of a tradition that spans centu-ries. At the same time, many people in Wisconsin and around the country will voice their disdain for the practice which they view as barbaric and backward in an era where most are not killing for suste-nance. To be honest, I prob-ably share many of the same political views held by those who protest hunting, and yet, every year on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, I am sit-ting in a box, in the middle of a field, wearing the aforemen-tioned blaze orange, hunting. Can you say cognitive disso-nance? So, I want to take this opportunity to explain why I go hunting, and why it means so much to me.

Before I get there, let me make one thing clear. There is a stereotype out there that all hunters are Second Amendment nuts who are stockpiling ammunition and crying out in fear that Obama is going to take their guns away. To be sure, that prob-ably describes some hunters quite accurately. Actually, probably more than just some. However, those are not beliefs that all sportsmen sub-scribe to—certainly not this one. I don’t have any post-ers of guns in my bedroom,

I oppose most actions taken by the NRA and I am a strong supporter of common sense gun control in this country. I believe that those working in our government have sat back and allowed firearm-related tragedies to happen time and time again, without taking the cue to pass legisla-tion to address that problem. But that is a topic for a dif-ferent article, and I suppose I should get back to the point of this piece.

To start, hunting is a prac-tical necessity in this state, and I realize that. Over the course of the past few centu-ries, humans in this country have wiped out acres upon acres of habitat for the wild-life that called this home long before us. As a result, many animal populations would struggle to survive if herd management practices were not implemented. There are certainly more humane ways than hunting to accomplish this goal, but none of them are realistic. All of them are far too expensive for the leg-islature of this state, and states around the country, to even consider. Hunting actu-ally makes the state money, so at this point it’s our best option. I love whitetail deer, and hunting is a useful tool to maintain their presence in Wisconsin. But the practical component is not the biggest

reason I hunt. Many hunters are

criticized for getting a rush out of killing a living creature. I understand that senti-ment, and that is some-thing I’m sure would weigh on me if it was the reason I went out every year, but it’s not. I hunt for multiple reasons, and one of them is because of the moments I get to expe-rience. There’s some-thing special about being immersed in nature when the world wakes up—when, in an instant, an area consumed by a still and silent darkness explodes into light and sound. The turkeys come crashing down from roost, squirrels begin foraging for nuts in preparation for a winter that, this year, seems more and more imminent, and sand-hill cranes beckon your eyes skyward with their boisterous call. But I could do this without hunting. The arboretum is only a short drive from where I live in Madison, and I could surely experi-ence all of that there. So this still begs the question: Why hunt?

The answer to that is simple: family.

Every year when I make the cold trip to Wild Rose, Wisconsin, I am accompanied by my father, my brothers, my sister, my grandfather, my uncle and my cousins. The older I get, and the more I start to create my own life, the more I find myself becom-

ing physically disconnected with these people. Modern technol-ogy helps to bridge that gap, but there is something about sitting in the woods together, in com-munion, that makes that annual November experience like noth-

ing else. Family is important, tra-dition matters, that’s why I hunt.

Tradition underlies Wisconsinites’ love for hunting

A midst the game day haze, between the criss-cross wave and Jump

Around, fans looking to the Camp Randall Stadium jumbo-tron may have seen a video from the UW Athletic Department.

In this video, student-ath-letes thank everyone for the financial support given to the Badger program, enabling the use of world-class facilities and a healthy nutritional program.

A thank you is a thank you. The intentions of the video appear good-hearted, but unfor-tunately the execution left the audience with an uncomfortable and annoyed feeling.

Higher education affordabil-ity is on the minds of many stu-dents and parents in the crowd on any given game day. The prominence, both financially

and socially of athletics—which is a whole different subject that warrants a different conversa-tion—is a sensitive area as well.

What does not ease these tensions is a clip of two stu-dent-athletes playing ping pong while thanking the crowd for their financial support to fund such facilities.

Given the current problems of tuition, student loans and affordable housing, the broad-

casting of these world-class facilities is being done in an insensitive fashion.

There are better ways to show this gratitude to the peo-ple who make it all possible. A simpler, “Thank you for all the support,” without explicitly mentioning more than once the world-class, bordering exorbi-tant facilities would not cross fans in the same fashion.

Another cause for the dis-comfort stems from the fund-ing in general.

While student-athletes have access to their world-class facili-ties, many students would be right to ask “What about me?” Between the crumbling infra-structure of the Natatorium, the SERF and the Shell, our options pale in comparison.

But the passage of the Rec Sports Master Plan last spring should correct these worries, right?

Not necessarily. The updates to the univer-

sity’s exercise facilities go a long way toward correcting the issue, but at what cost to the students? The most obvious problem stu-

dents will face is the increase in their segregated fees.

Overall, student’s will be footing 57 percent of the bill for the new facilities while the Athletic Department will con-tribute 3 percent. After see-ing what the athletes have and seeing videos boasting their new, nearly $125 million facili-ties coupled with their newly approved $133 million budget, as students, it’s difficult to accept the lack of participation by the Athletic Department.

Chancellor Rebecca Blank, in an open email to Madison students, likened the Athletic Department increasing their financial contribution to “ask-ing the physics department to

pay for improvements in chem-istry, just because they both study science.”

This oversimplification does a disservice to the students. What if the physics department uses the chemistry facilities on a regular basis and does not allow chemistry students to use them at that time?

Or, what if the chemistry students bailed the physics department out of a projected $1.5 million deficit like in 1989, when the Athletic Department was under financial duress and student segregated fees covered the deficits?

This is not directly a critique of the Rec Sports Master Plan. That ship has sailed. We understand they are world class facilities.

However, the Athletic Department should clue in to the pulse of the student body when expressing its gratitude.

What did you think of the Athletic Department’s video? Did the message come across as was intended? Send your thoughts to opinion@dailycar-dinal.com.

There’s something special about being immersed in

This bodes well for Gordon, who leads the nation in rush-ing yards (1,909), yards per carry (8.56) and touchdowns (25). He’ll be able to work in tandem with sophomore Corey Clement, who aggravated a shoulder injury lunging for a second-quarter touchdown against Nebraska, but expects to be ready to play without limitations this Saturday.

Shrouded by the mayhem of Gordon’s historic day against Nebraska was the play of Wisconsin’s defense, which held the Cornhuskers to just 180 yards of total offense and forced five turnovers. Despite the Badgers’ impressive showing against Nebraska and their standing as the top defense in the nation (244 yards allowed per game), defen-sive coordinator Dave Aranda is concerned with the challenge pre-sented by Iowa’s running game, led by the 6-foot, 240-pound run-ning back Mark Weisman.

“This is the first true test—I know we talked about LSU and I felt that at the beginning, but this is a bigger test in terms of the ground and pound that we’re going to see,” Aranda said.

Aranda expects to shift away from the “peso” package, a scheme that utilizes just two down linemen, and will employ more of a 3-4 base defense to slow down Weisman.

Although this game plan

departs from what UW has done in previous weeks against spread offenses, redshirt linebacker Vince Biegel said the adjustment will be seamless.

“We can go out there and play with spread teams but we can also strap up, lock and load and play those heavy-run Iowa teams,” Biegel said. “We’re ready for the challenge that Iowa’s fac-ing with us, we’re going to have a little bit bigger bodies in for this game so it’s going to be a big boy fight now and we’ve got to pre-pare ourselves for this Saturday.”

Weisman’s size and physi-cality draws more defenders to the line of scrimmage, which in turn opens up passing lanes for junior quarterback Jake Rudock. Although Rudock’s 207 passing yards per game and 12 touch-downs don’t jump off the stat sheet, Aranda warned that he can easily take advantage of teams that overcommit to the run.

“We’ve played people that have spread the field, not people that put everybody in a five-yard box with the exception of one guy on either side,” Aranda said. “It’s completely different. I feel our guys are up to the test, but it’s a different game.”

If the defense muscles up against Iowa’s bruising run-ning game and Gordon keeps chugging, the Badgers will leave Kinnick Stadium with the Heartland Trophy and will be one game closer to Indianapolis.

Badgers prepare for next round of NCAA tournamentBy Bobby Ehrlichthe daily cardiNal

The Badgers may be red hot, but there is no doubt the team is looking forward to leaving the brutal cold as they head to Florida for their second game in the NCAA tournament.

No. 9 Wisconsin (19-2-2) will take on No. 22 UCF (17-4-0) Friday in Tallahassee. This second round matchup will feature two of the top defenses in the nation.

Behind goalkeeper Connie Organ, the Knights have allowed just 10 goals all season. Organ, who was named the American Athletic Conference Goalkeeper of the Year, boasts a 0.48 goals- against average and has com-piled 12 shutouts.

Wisconsin’s goalkeeper, redshirt senior Genevieve Richard, was also honored as the best goalie in her confer-ence. She earned a 0.31 goals- against average to go along with her school record-breaking 16 shutouts. Richard and the rest of the smothering Badger defense has allowed just seven goals all season. In addition, the defense has earned a shut-out in seven straight games.

The last time the opposing team found the back of the net was Oct. 18, when Minnesota scored just once.

UCF ranks seventh in the nation in goals against average, while Wisconsin’s mark ranks third. The Badgers also rank second in save percentage and in shutout percentage. UCF ranks 39th and 10th in both categories, respectively.

UCF won the regular season American Athletic Conference crown, posting an 8-1 confer-ence record. This was no easy feat as the Knights had to defeat No. 21 South Florida, a squad that made the NCAA tourna-ment but fell to Illinois State in the first round.

Overall, UCF is a strong defensive team that played well enough to win a conference title. Yet the Knights have not yet proven they can beat an elite team. The same could be argued for a Wisconsin team that lost to No. 6 Penn State, but the Badgers did defeat Rutgers, the other Big Ten team that made the tourna-ment and won in the first round. The victory over undefeated DePaul in the first round also proved Wisconsin’s ability to

compete with the nation’s best. For Wisconsin to win this

game, senior forwards Cara Walls and Kodee Williams must capitalize on scoring chances. Junior midfielder Kinley McNicoll and sopho-more midfielder Rose Lavelle will create opportunities for the forwards and they will have to find twine. Against a stout defense, the Badgers may only get three or four chances and because of this, the seniors must step up on the big stage.

Similarly, Wisconsin will only allow UCF a few qual-ity shots. Look for forward Tatiana Coleman and mid-fielder Ashley Spivey, who have scored a combined 21 goals, to lead the Knights’ offensive attack. If Richard can deny the UCF goal scorers two or three times like she did against DePaul last Friday, the Badgers have an excellent shot at winning the game.

The match figures to be an intense low-scoring battle between two fantastic defen-sive squads. The contest will kick off in Tallahassee at 1:30 p.m Friday.

Wisconsin opens four-game trip against St. Cloud State

forward annie pankowski dominated Minnesota State last weekend, scoring four goals to earn Wcha rookie of the Week honors. it was the second time she’s received the distinction.

By Zach rastallthe daily cardiNal

Following an impressive home sweep of the Minnesota State Mavericks last week, No. 3 Wisconsin will embark on a four-game road trip, starting with a series against St. Cloud State this weekend.

The Badgers (9-2-1 WCHA, 11-2-1 overall) scored 16 times against the Mavericks, led by freshman Annie Pankowski’s four-goal performance in the series. For her efforts, Pankowski was named the WCHA Rookie of the Week, the second time this season that she has received this honor.

Pankowski was part of an all-freshman line, along with Emily Clark and Baylee

Wellhausen, which found great success in UW’s two games with Minnesota State. In total, the line combined for 25 shots and nine points (five goals and four assists).

“[The success of the fresh-men] was great to see,” said senior forward Katy Josephs. “The coaches have kind of been switching stuff up, trying to get all the lines producing, so the fact that they were able to put a lot of goals away was a big help.”

Wisconsin has historically dominated the Huskies (5-6-1, 2-3-1), having won 57 of the 66 meetings between the two teams. The Badgers currently own a 20-game winning streak against St. Cloud State, which

is in its first season under head coach Eric Rud.

The Huskies are looking to get back on track after getting swept at home last weekend by Minnesota-Duluth.

“[St. Cloud State] lost two games last weekend at home,” said Wisconsin head coach Mark Johnson. “I’m sure they’ll practice hard this week and they’ll come out Friday after-noon with the attitude that they don’t want to lose again.”

This series will be the sec-ond week in a row that UW has faced an extremely physi-cal opponent, as the Huskies and Mavericks average more penalty minutes per game than any other team in the country.

This trend continued last

weekend, as Minnesota State was penalized a total of 10 times in the series.

The Badgers only convert-ed on two of their 10 power play opportunities against the Mavericks, but those two goals did help them build a three-goal lead in the second game of the series.

“We were pretty good on the power play when we needed to be,” Johnson said. “If you’re not going to score, at least cre-ate opportunities and you can change the momentum and create some energy from the power play.”

As evidenced by its back-to-back eight-goal performances last week, Wisconsin has been stellar on offense this year,

ranking second in the nation with 4.29 goals per game.

Senior forward Blayre Turnbull will be a game-time decision after leaving last Friday’s game with a head inju-ry, but the Badgers still will have seven different players with at least five goals scored at their disposal.

“You try to emulate within the game how you practice,” Johnson said. “The last couple weekends, we’ve tried to focus on getting pucks in the net, get-ting pucks to the net, creating rebounds and pouncing on that.”

The series gets under-way Friday at 3 p.m. at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center, followed by another 3 p.m. game Saturday.

As the Badgers catch their breath after Melvin Gordon’s record-breaking afternoon against Nebraska, they now turn their attention to Iowa and what will be a heated Big Ten West race to the conference championship.

No. 14 Wisconsin’s trip to Iowa City Saturday is the next step in a demanding stretch of games that round out its schedule. UW (5-1 Big Ten, 8-2 overall) and the Hawkeyes (4-2, 7-3) are separated by just one game in the divisional standings, and both teams have a very real chance to earn a bid to the Big Ten championship game Dec. 6 in Indianapolis.

Even though Gordon’s unprec-edented 408-yard rushing perfor-mance against the Cornhuskers, a new FBS single-game record, has launched his Heisman Trophy stock upward, head coach Gary Andersen believes the star run-

ning back will be solely focused on matters on the field.

“I have no doubts that Melvin is going to do nothing more than crank it up a notch and he will be able to push away all those distractions and he will be very prepared when the opportunity presents itself, and he will have to be, if we’re going to do what we want to do as a team,” Andersen said. “He’s going to have [to be] a great player for us this next week for us to be able to win.”

Andersen’s assertion is especially true against Iowa’s defense, which will make it tough to establish a passing game. The Hawkeyes have allowed 176.8 passing yards per game, second fewest in the Big Ten behind Wisconsin. Offensive coordi-nator Andy Ludwig attributed Iowa’s success to its various cov-erage schemes and “big, salty group” of defensive linemen that pressure the quarterback.

“They’re going to make you work for every completion,” Ludwig said. “They do a great job covering people down, there’s no free-access releases in the route structure and it’s a very sophisticated zone defense base with a good mix of man coverage, a little bit of pressure. It’s an excellent scheme, the players know it very well and play it at a very high level.”

Junior defensive end Drew Ott (7.5 sacks, one interception) leads an Iowa defensive line that has had success getting to the quarterback and has held opposing teams to 147.8 rushing yards per game.

However, the most analo-gous running threat to Gordon that the Hawkeyes have faced this year was Indiana’s Tevin Coleman, who torched Iowa for 219 yards and three touchdowns on just fifteen carries Oct. 11.

It could have been Wisconsin’s stacked frontcourt that burned the Phoenix. Could have been the early foul trouble. Could have been Keifer Sykes’ inability to clone himself.

Regardless, the Badgers (3-0) easily dispatched Green Bay (1-1) 84-60, likely the toughest opponent they’ll see until their Thanksgiving date in the Battle 4 Atlantis.

Green Bay looked competitive to start the game, with senior guard Sykes and senior forward Greg Mays attacking the basket with ferocious dunks. With eight minutes remaining in the first half, the Phoenix had tied it at 20 and looked like they were going to be every bit the plucky mid-major they were billed as.

Then the Badgers’ frontcourt happened. From that point, there was no time when a Badger big man didn’t seem to be taking over the game, be it senior center Frank Kaminsky, junior forward Sam Dekker or sophomore for-ward Nigel Hayes. Together, the three combined for 64 points on 22-of-36 shooting, 30 rebounds and eight blocks. The entire frontcourt accounted for 71 of the team’s 84 points.

“We got a lot of weapons on this team, this is a pretty deep team,” Kaminsky said. “We went out and everybody had a good game. I don’t see why we can’t do this more going forward.”

Hayes led the way on offense, finishing with a career-high 25 points on 8-of-11 shooting. The sophomore looks much more fluid with the ball this year, han-dling it well and displaying a lethal jump shot.

“[Hayes is] a young man who put an awful lot of time in the offseason on his own,” said head coach Bo Ryan. “I caught Nigel one morning dribbling a tennis ball with one hand and a basketball with the other … He also shoots a lot of shots. It’s another year older, it’s another year wiser. He’s anoth-er year better. Look out.”

On the Green Bay side of the ball, it was Sykes and not much

else. The aggression the team needed to pull off a massive upset was corralled at the end of the first half by a quick whistle from the referees, leading to 15 fouls called on the Phoenix. Mays and Alfonzo McKinnie fouled out and many others were benched as they ran into trouble.

“Kiefer needed more help in this game,” said Green Bay head coach Brian Wardle. “Greg Mays couldn’t get in a rhythm, McKinnie, it was hard to get in a rhythm … second game of the year, it’s hard to get into a rhythm.”

The fouls came as a result of Wisconsin continuously attacking the paint, exercising the muscle this year’s elite frontcourt grants them. Midway through the second half, the game was at the point where head coach Bo Ryan had four big men on the floor at the same time, with Dekker at the perimeter.

“I use Sam in practice at the 2 at times,” Ryan said. “Sam at the 2 is okay, it’s a wing. You could see all kinds of combos this year.”

With all the hubbub around the team’s talented size, though, there should be a concern at guard depth. UW guards were fairly tentative with the ball, quickly passing it on to their larger teammates.

It’s a strategy that most defi-nitely worked tonight, but one has to wonder what happens when the Badgers meet another team with an athletic frontcourt capable of going toe-to-toe with them on defense.

Nevertheless, this is still Wisconsin’s most impressive win of the season, a total domi-nation of a team many expect to win the Horizon League and audition as Cinderella in the NCAA tournament.

“Green Bay’s a really good team, make no mistake about that. They’re a very athletic team, I’d say more athletic than us,” Dekker said. “That’s a team that’s going to make a deep run this sea-son in the NCAA tournament.”

The Badgers will move on in their nonconference schedule, welcoming a 3-0 Boise State team to the Kohl Center Saturday at 9 p.m.

No. 2 Wisconsin (16-1 Big Ten, 25-2 overall) continued its winning streak after defeating No. 10 Illinois (13-4, 21-7) in four sets Wednesday night at the UW Field House.

The Badgers’ 16-game win-ning streak ties the school record. Wisconsin’s win was not easy, as Illinois forced the Badgers to four sets, 25-13, 24-26, 25-17 and 28-26.

“That was a heck of a match by two teams that were laying it all out there,” said Wisconsin head coach Kelly Sheffield. “I think that was college volleyball at its best.”

Sheffield recognized how Illinois targeted freshman out-side hitter Kelli Bates, hitting 60 balls at her throughout the match. Although she was targeted, she picked up her play and competed.

“She was monstrous tonight, absolutely monstrous,” Sheffield said.

The defense on both sides of the net was tested tonight, espe-cially by the Fighting Illini’s red-shirt junior outside hitter Jocelynn

Birks and Wisconsin’s Bates. Birks had 20 kills throughout the match while Bates had a career-high 17.

The Badgers faltered in set two, but got over it quickly and turned around their play. Every set was over 25 and displayed the stiff competition of the Big Ten. The Badgers had to learn to respond to what the Fighting Illini gave them, and accord-ing to Sheffield, they did it well. Sheffield saw the tough fight the girls fought and was proud.

Sophomore setter Lauren Carlini led her team with 54 assists throughout the match. She saw the perseverance in her teammates on the court tonight.

“We got a lot of heart, and the heart of a champion,” Carlini said about the close match. “We are doing this together, and we’re doing this now.”

The Big Ten offers competitive play and is a tough conference for many freshmen to get accustomed to in their first year. Bates has found reassurance after her team’s strong performance.

“I knew especially after 10

points of the first set, this was going to happen all game,” Bates said about being targeted by Illinois. “I think I handled it well, the girls were giving me a lot of confidence back there.”

Bates did not dwell on her personal success, but thought the team win was more important. Her teammates put trust in her, the only freshman, which excelled her play and gave her confidence.

“It’s exciting, this team is unbelievable,” said senior right side hitter Courtney Thomas. “The things that we’re doing right now are awesome.”

Wisconsin moved up two spots in this week’s AVCA Top 25 Coaches poll to No. 2. This is the highest rank this season for the Badgers and ties the program’s highest mark ever.

There are only three match-es left in conference play for Wisconsin. The Badgers continue as sole leaders of the Big Ten with Penn State and Illinois behind them at two and three.

Wisconsin will play at No. 20 Ohio State Friday at 6 p.m.
