Program works to support small business during holiday seasonBy Anna MadsenTHE DAILY CARDINAL

As the holiday season approaches, national retail rev-enues skyrocket, leaving some local businesses in the dust.

However, a local organization is working to ensure that this increased revenue stays in the area’s economy by encouraging residents to make purchases from local, independent businesses.

Dane Buy Local, founded in 2004, provides support to 800 small business members throughout central Wisconsin. The service also connects mem-bers to each other.

In the city of Madison, small businesses are especially vital to the economy, according to Executive Director of Dane Buy Local Colin Murray.

“Madison has unique fea-tures,” Murray said. “State Street has stores you can’t find any-where else, they’re different from malls with big name stores that are the same everywhere across the country.”

Murray explained that Dane Buy Local ensures more money will stay in Madison’s local econ-

omy. Studies cited by the program show that for every $100 spent at an independent business, $73 stay in the local economy, com-pared to only $43 of every $100 spent at big-name chain stores.

“The Dane Buy Local program has been really successful in Madison,” Murray said. “We saw an 11 percent local sales increase during the holiday season last year, compared to a 4 percent national average of increase.”

Murray aims to improve stu-dent awareness of the program in order to connect a vital market to small businesses.

“Many students shop at chain stores just because they identify with the store names they recog-nize from at home,” Murray said.

This year, a “Shop Online” func-tion has been added to the Dane Buy Local website in order to make it easier to support local businesses.

“For anything from pharma-ceuticals to gifts, all people need to do is visit our online direc-tory of members at danebuylocal.com,” Murray said. “The local businesses we have listed online cover everything anyone could possibly need.”

Republicans introduce bill to mandate term limits for governor, state legislators

State Rep. Bob Gannon, R-Slinger, circulated a proposal last week to introduce term limits for elected officials, saying it would lead to new voices in the state Legislature.

Elected officials in Wisconsin’s statewide offices could face term limits within five years under a bill proposed in the state Assembly that is currently circu-lating for co-sponsors.

The bill would begin the con-stitutional amendment process to limit legislators to 12 years of public service and keep gover-nors and lieutenant governors to a maximum of eight years in each office. If it passed both houses of the state Legislature, it would require public approval by ref-erendum and second passage in

each house before the amendment can be implemented.

Freshman state Rep. Bob Gannon, R-Slinger, authored the bill. He said the proposal would bring diversity to the state Capitol by discouraging career politicians.

“Creating a limit on the num-ber of terms a legislator can serve allows for positive turnover and for new citizen legislators to serve their state,” Gannon said in a statement. “These new citizen leg-islators would bring innovative ideas to the capitol, in the process creating a stronger connection to the private sector and the ‘real-world’ solutions that need to take

a more prominent role in public policy discussions.”

The proposal would put Wisconsin among 15 other states that have some form of term limits.

The bill was not formally introduced before the holiday weekend, but state Rep. Romaine Quinn, R-Rice Lake, pledged sup-port to Gannon’s proposal in a statement Tuesday.

“It is high time for this com-mon-sense, practical solution to be enshrined as law in our state,” Quinn said in the statement. “I hope my colleagues on both sides of the aisle will sign on to this important cause.”

UW-Madison faculty, state business leaders to convene at United Nations Conference in ParisUW-Madison faculty mem-

bers and state business lead-ers will extend their environ-mental research internationally Thursday at the United Nations 21st Conference of the Parties.

Government leaders from

around the world will convene in Paris to ratify a new universal agreement in climate change, aim-ing to reduce carbon emissions, according to a university release.

The Wisconsin panelists will speak from a variety of back-

grounds, ranging from global health to law. The UW-Madison community can join the conver-sation Thursday through a live web stream held at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery.

Panelists will update the 1997

Kyoto Protocol, the current inter-national treaty that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, accord-ing to the release.

UW-Madison professor of popula-tion health sciences in the release. “If you get outside U.S. politics, there are very few countries where the science is debated. The rest of the world is onboard with working toward solutions.”

Chemist starts holiday season with bangPROFESSOR PROFILE

By Sammy GibbonsTHE DAILY CARDINAL

The holiday season is beginning, and no one is more excited than pro-fessor Bassam Shakhashiri as he prepares for his annual Christmas lecture, which sold out this year after less than four days of going on sale.

Shakhashiri has been a chem-istry professor at UW-Madison for 46 years and performs the presen-tation, “Once Upon a Christmas Cheery, in the Lab of Shakhashiri,” every winter.

This year, Shakhashiri said, event attendees should expect fast-moving transformations, smoke, loud noises, controlled fires and a few surprises. He leaked some of the secrets, includ-ing an appearance by Bucky Badger and a visitor “from up North.” Several other participants will exhibit their talents in both science and the arts during the program.

Shakhashiri learned about the historic event while teaching at the University of Illinois. The Christmas lecture originated in the 1840s when famous British scientist Michael Faraday gathered people to showcase his experiments around Christmastime, easily creating the label “The Christmas Lecture.”

Shakhashiri always enjoyed showcasing the chemical transfor-

mations with his students, but also wanted to expose it to the public. He moved the performances to the evenings to allow more people to attend, and it has grown so much that Wisconsin Public Television broad-casts it nationwide.

“It is my holiday gift to the com-munity,” Shakhashiri said. “It is my gift to UW-Madison students, fac-ulty and staff, and everyone in the Madison area.”

The program varies slightly each year. Shakhashiri spends ample time planning new experi-ments, but balances those with his “signature demonstrations.”

Shakhashiri said he wants attend-ees to experience the joy of watching experiments and hopes that they will do their own experiments after leav-ing the show.

The professor said the most val-ued aspect of his career and the event is making connections and seeing students’ expressions.

“They speak with me and I learn from that,” he said. “What I want to do is make cerebral connections and emotional connections, too, so we get to enjoy the beautiful, chemical world that we all live in.”

New grant from Department of Public Instruction, UW-Madison to fund achievement gap researchAs part of the largest-ever

research collaboration between the Department of Public Instruction and UW-Madison, education researchers will aim to decrease ethnic and economic disparities in student opportunity

and achievement across the state.A $5.2 million grant from the

U.S. Department of Education will fund the four-year project, which entails analyzing data from each state public school, according to a university release.

The data, collected by the DPI over the past 10 years, includes test scores, attendance rates and graduation statistics across economic, racial and disability statuses from every Wisconsin public school.

Researchers at the Wisconsin Center for Education Research, led by associate professor of sociology and educational pol-icy studies Eric Grodsky, will use the data to identify which schools in Wisconsin have

successfully lessened racial achievement gaps to establish effective practices.

“The more we learn about what’s impactful, the more chan-nels we can pursue to try to help kids in the state,” Grodsky said.

State Attorney General Brad Schimel said the case will ulti-mately be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. The high court is expected to take up a chal-lenge to a similar law in Texas, which was upheld in June by the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.

While the effects of the Wisconsin bill would not be as drastic as its Texan counterpart, which would close over half of the abortion clinics in that state, Affiliated Medical Services has said it would be forced to close its Milwaukee clinic because of the law.

Proponents of the bill have said it increases the safety of abortions and ensures a qualified physician will be performing the procedure. Admission privileges allow doctors to admit and treat patients in a hospital in a non-emergency situation.

In a dissenting opinion, Judge David Manion argued the provision was consti-tutional and that the state should not be forced to lower its standards.

“The solution to the plain-tiffs’ problems is that they find more qualified doctors, not that the state relax … precautions … to protect the health and safety of pregnant women who have chosen to end their pregnan-cies,” Manion wrote.

Members of the student organization Wisconsin Black Student Union are using their first year as a General Student Services Fund group to further their goal of fostering an environ-ment on campus that better suits the needs of black students.

Members presented their pro-posed 2016-’17 budget to the Student Services Finance Committee Nov. 19, the group’s first time requesting money from the GSSF.

WBSU has an executive board led by president and UW-Madison sophomore Marquise Mays and vice president Adetola Coker, along with approximately six other employees for the upcoming academic year.

The group is looking to con-tinue its relationship with the National Black Student Union which, according to its website, seeks to enhance the quality of life for undergraduate collegiate stu-dents. Mays said the group would like to send about four members to an annual NBSU conference in the future, depending on its location.

Mays and Coker said the group holds several events each year and aims to recruit and retain students of all backgrounds interested in

black student issues. WBSU is looking to cel-

ebrate Black History Month in February 2016 by holding the Black Knowledge Bowl in Ogg

Residence Hall, where approxi-mately 50 students will spend an evening answering trivia questions on black history.

“The purpose of the Black

Knowledge Bowl during Black History Month is to strengthen the camaraderie among students here while engaging in a high impact learning activity,” Coker said.

“This program benefits the cam-pus at large by educating students on black culture through African American oriented events.”

The Ebony Ball is one of the most highly anticipated of these events where an expected 200 stu-dents will have the chance to see various cultural dances and perfor-mances in Spring 2016, Mays said.

WBSU plans to hold a series of smaller events throughout the academic year, including monthly board meetings, study sessions and Talk To Me Tuesday, which doesn’t require funds but allows open discussion and interac-tive activities on current events. Members are also introducing a new event called Women’s History Month Appreciation Dinner.

SSFC members approved WBSU’s proposed 2016-’17 bud-get with a vote of 9-0 with two abstentions and a final budget of $26,375.55, according to an ASM press release.

“Marquise worked very hard in preparing WBSU to grow as an organization,” SSFC Vice Chair Brett DuCharme said in the release. “[The organization] has combined a clean vision with con-crete goals to ensure the program-ming will last past his time here on campus.”

Wisconsin voter ID bars student voting

W hether or not certain Wisconsinites have the right to vote has

been unclear ever since Voter ID laws were put in place for the first time more than four years ago. From then on, the laws have been in flux, with voter ID require-ments being proven unconstitu-tional by a Dane County Circuit Court judge, then reinstated by a federal appeals court, then blocked by the U.S. Supreme Court, and finally reestablished as state law this past spring.

So here we are. Voter ID is the law of the land and will be required for everyone who wish-es to vote in the Presidential primaries this April 6th. UW Students that have a Wisconsin Driver’s license or ID, regard-less of whether it has their cur-rent address, can use it to vote. But if you are an out-of-state student or an in-state student without a Wisconsin ID, you are almost entirely dependent on the University to provide you with an ID to vote.

In all of our wallets and lan-yards (hi freshmen) we already have an ID that has our pic-ture and name on it. The state, however, requires that these IDs have the signature of the card-holder and an expiration date that is not more than two years

after the issuing date in order for the ID to be used to vote. If you look at your Wiscard, both of these things are not present.

One would think the University would see this prob-lem and reform our Wiscards to be compliant with Voter ID, as one of the main goals of UW is to produce civically engaged, socially aware members of soci-ety. Yet there is no plan, and our administration is saying that it would be too expensive to reis-sue new IDs to students every

two years.Faced with the obvious cri-

sis of students being disen-franchised, the UW-Madison College Democrats and College Republicans worked together to come up with a solution. We agreed that the easiest option would be adding two stickers to the cards, one for the signa-ture and one for the expiration date. This is the most simple fix because it preserves the ID template we already have, alle-viating the administration’s con-

cerns about distribution.Another possible reform is

putting the signature line back on all Wiscards. Much like a credit card, our student IDs used to have these strips, but it was taken off several years ago. Our administration will not consider this common sense solution say-ing that it makes us more vul-nerable to identity theft. This is perplexing, as we all know our credit/debit cards and our driv-er’s licenses display our signa-tures, and these IDs are generally

much more valuable and harder to replace than our Wiscards.

They argue that a better alter-native is issuing separate IDs only available at Union South during business hours, i.e., not on the weekend or past 5 PM. This measure makes voting highly inaccessible to the thou-sands of students who might not have time between classes, work, and extracurriculars to go to the far end of campus just to acquire a secondary ID.

University administrations across the state are taking note that the largest university is refusing to make Voter IDs a pri-ority and are following suite. At UW-Eau Claire, due to a technical glitch their university is refusing to fix, students must print out proof of enrollment if they wish to get an ID, and they haven’t even announced when they will start printing Voter IDs.

We may not be happy that Voter ID is the law of the land, but it is up to our administra-tion to make Voter IDs, and the voting process as a whole, acces-sible to all students.

It doesn’t seem too difficult a feat anymore for DJs, dubstep artists or electronic dance music creators to get a crowd to move with their rhythms and beats. It takes something more than just beats to transport people somewhere else though, or to intro-duce qualities that inspire more than just losing yourself to the music. ODESZA did that Nov. 22 in the Orpheum Theater, and they did so without ever losing the dreaminess that also accompanies their music.

In the midst of tribal beats and unceasing demand of music to move in sync with, their music never loses hints of wistfulness and mysticism. They make music that inspires all of us to dance, but the music also makes us dream and smile about losing our-selves to the great escape music and dance has always provided. For a few hours that Sunday, everyone at the Orpheum was spellbound into for-getting the chores of life. The classes, books, work and worries all disap-peared into what ODESZA could spin together for us. All that existed was their magical music, and the places it transported us to. Places that were anywhere but a cold and bitter Sunday night before the demands of the week began.

While the Seattle based electro-pop duo only started out in 2012, they’re already standing at the helm of commanding huge stages with thousands of fans at their fingertips. Harrison Mills (CatacombKid) and Clayton Knight (BeachesBeaches) were college students not unlike me only a short while ago. Today how-ever they’re playing at giant festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza and Sasquatch! with consistent sold-out venues around the country. Having

released their first album for free in 2012, after gaining popularity on SoundCloud and YouTube, they have since continued to garner a fast-growing following.

Their success seems to be pivot-ally owed to the ethereal hooks they include with their turbulent beats that allow you to daydream while moving into a world of flashing lights and hypnotic sounds, begging you to move with them. Appearing on the dark stage with sudden flash-ing of a bright, white light and omi-nously growing tribal beats, it is hard to imagine the masses immediately starting to move are simply controlled by two dudes with a computer.

I’ve said it before: There is nothing like an electronic dance music con-cert, but the real beauty of it lies in the fact that no two EDM concerts are the same. Living in an individualistic world births in us a wariness of peo-ple in crowds and masses, but duos like ODESZA always eradicate this instinct by reminding us how unify-ing EDM concerts are. We all feel the music, we all sweat profusely and we all move to it unabashedly. There’s something very pure about feeling music inside of you with a throng of strangers in such an elemental way.

Despite their ability to have all their songs flow together in an indiscernible way from one to the next, crowd favorites still managed to stand out. Their remix of Zhu’s “Faded” in particular was electrify-ing to witness. Others like “Say My Name,” “Make Me Feel Better” and “All We Need” were performed to the roaring of a crowd that did justice to their brilliance. A sold-out show like this should make the list of regrets of anyone who wasn’t attending, but especially those who stayed inside to stay warm.

Crowd dances to ODESZA’s beats

A re you sick of this sh*t yet?” reads the first sen-tence of Pitchfork’s “Top

10 Albums of 1999” article pub-lished in 2001. “...Let’s not forget the New York Times’ incredibly out- of- touch list of the 25 best albums of all time. (One word: No.)” The introduction reads like an angry college student madly pounding at their keyboard, more concerned with establishing a flippant attitude towards main-stream music journalism than introducing a list for the best albums of the year. A Pitchfork article beginning in such a man-ner in the year 2015 would raise eyebrows with its complete lack of professionalism, yet it was this exact attitude that propelled the website into the cornerstone for independent music journalism that so many regard it as today.

Yet gone are the days where posting a video of a monkey peeing in its own mouth was an accept-able review for a Jet album. While still on the website, the hilari-ous review contrasts sharply with what Pitchfork has become today: a multimedia company equipped with festivals, marketing deals and, most importantly, a reputa-tion to uphold. Every rebellious blog or magazine eventually has to settle down in the realm of mainstream media. The legend-ary Rolling Stone went from breaking stories about the most influential rock musicians of the century to a dentist-office waiting room periodical. Every fiery voice in music journalism has to quell at some point. The real question is, what’s next?

As The Daily Cardinal works to increase its online presence, it seems fitting to talk about the cur-rent state of music journalism on the web. It seems like every 20 seconds a new music blog is con-ceived into the digital world. Some survey micro-micro-subgenres while others dedicate their exis-tence to lauding the complete dis-cography and general existence of Bon Jovi (Shout out to the blog, Blame It On The Love).

Contrary to music veteran

skepticists who scoff at their imagined coffee-shop faux hip-sters hacking away at their Macbooks, music blogs do in fact have the power to make or break artists and albums; Style of Sound puts out a seasonal publication of the 100 most influential music blogs in the form of a hardcover book, and websites like Noisey and Tiny Mix Tapes are increas-ingly becoming a medium for up-and-coming artists to explode into popular media.

But as music blogs go through journalistic puberty from rav-ing blog posts written in a college dorm into professional websites for media discovery and consump-tion, one is left wondering when the next Rolling Stone or Pitchfork will appear, the next creation that doesn’t just critique music history but also becomes a part of it, the next publication that doesn’t go through the motions of the mon-etization lifecycle but pushes its medium into the future.

My bet is on Internet radio. While the term brings to mind humdrum podcasts recorded in a suburban garage, many are realiz-ing its full potential to deliver the sound of artists around the world. Take Radar Radio in London for example. Modeled after pirate radio stations like Rinse FM or the increasingly popular NTS, Radar puts an emphasis on fea-turing fresh acts for hours at a time. Purple Tape Pedigree—a label from New York with no more than 1,500 Soundcloud fol-lowers—nabbed a multiple-day residency at the station, allowing their sound to be heard all across the UK and abroad.

The key difference between Internet radio and music blog-ging lies in the fact that the art-ists determine their own worth and appearance to the masses. Radar Radio doesn’t spend an hour after a DJ set reviewing the performance; they move right along in their programming to the next slot, which could be taken up by anyone from a bedroom producer in South London to established DJs like Hyperdub’s Ikonika and London club superstar Amy Becker. Atlanta’s Awful Records just came through to host a show, and grime crews spitting verses live in the studio is a regular

sight. When pushers of music, whether it be blogs or radio or otherwise, break down the bar-rier between journalism and art, it allows for a development of a music community where every-one involved benefits.

While more performance than journalism, Radar Radio presents an alternative for new artists to be discovered in the Internet era. Imagine if produc-ers of Jersey club had a radio sta-tion in Newark broadcasting their sound to the world. That commu-nity might have been able to take control of their own musical des-tiny instead of having their sound snatched and commercialized by Mad Decent, the music mogul infamous for appropriating local sounds into whitewashed com-mercial successes.

Another sign of Radar Radio’s potential to be a part of musical history is its rebellious nature. Guests are free to drink and smoke before, during and after their sets. Grime performances have the stu-dio filled to the brim with hip-hop heads moshing to a sound that the London police force has tried for years to suppress. If the edgy attitude of early 2000s Pitchfork ascended its indie success, then a radio station that manages to be both cool and respectful to artists could make waves.

Music blogs will exist as long as the Internet does, and with good reason: It’s quite enjoyable to regularly sound off on one’s opinion on the current landscape of music as I happen to do every week here at the Cardinal. But to ascend from a hobby to a force of change requires a loss of ego. Pitchfork might not have done the comically whiny music review best, but it did it first. Music blog-gers can’t strike gold twice on that trick, and many are accepting of this fact and continue writing in a similar fashion. When profes-sional consumers of music finally put aside their ego, as I struggle with every time I write these col-umns, in order to better music culture and music journalism cul-ture, the world will see a force powerful enough to shrug off the ghosts of massive labels, publica-tions and talent agencies.

Lavelle makes a name for herself on national stage

Women’s Basketball

Wisconsin draws split in pair of tight gamesBy Ben Pickmanthe daily cardinal

More than 39 minutes into the Wisconsin Badgers’ 63-57 overtime loss to the San Diego State Aztecs, the Badgers were in a nearly identical situation as they were in their 54-52 win over Delaware two days earlier.

With 4.9 seconds left in a tie game, the Badgers possessed the basketball, looking to cap off their road trip to San Diego with two last-second wins. But in the final possession of regula-tion, Tessa Cichy turned the ball over while attacking the basket and the Badgers limped into overtime.

In both the final minutes of regulation as well as overtime, the Badgers looked fatigued. Their offense became stagnant and they attempted to force passes into non-existent windows. Not surprisingly the Badgers got outscored 12-6 in the extra session.

Wisconsin held the Aztecs to only three points in the second quarter, but led by only seven points at half-time. After extending the lead to 11

points with seven minutes remain-ing in the third quarter, the Badgers looked burnt out from the California sun, and a mere 10 minutes later trailed by five points.

Turnovers again plagued the Badgers. After limiting its turnovers Friday, UW had twice as many turn-overs (20) as the Aztecs (10).

Earlier in the week, head coach Bobbie Kelsey said she would turn to “pine time,” in hopes of her team waking up, and limiting her team’s turnovers. Sunday she followed through, resorting to “pine time” to send a message.

Cichy played a mere 27 min-utes due to her five turnovers and struggled finding any semblance of an offensive rhythm, failing to score until the final minute of regulation. Cichy turned the ball over less than two minutes into the second half, and found herself on the bench sitting next to senior point guard Dakota Whyte. Whyte lost her starting spot due to turnover problems in Friday’s win against Delaware, but missed

Sunday’s game with an illness. That forced redshirt freshman Roichelle Marble to be the Badgers’ primary ball-handler. Marble finished the game with 13 points in a career-high 34 minutes, but her minus 34 plus/minus is indicative of some of the struggles the Badgers faced while she was on the floor.

For instance, on the Badgers’ first possession of overtime, Marble tried a spin move in her attempt to create space, but turned the ball over lead-ing to an Aztec basket. The Badgers never recovered.

Senior guard Nicole Bauman, though, recovered from her early season slump and finished the game with 24 huge points. Bauman seemed to single-handedly carry the Badgers’ offense in the fourth quarter thanks to a flurry of 3-pointers.

The Badgers as a team shot 52.4 percent from three and looked more like the team that led the Big Ten in 3-point percentage last season than the dreadful shooting team that took the floor in its first four games.

Wisconsin would have to “come out hard and try to set the pace” in the second game Saturday, and they did exactly that.

Wisconsin dominated the first period, outshooting Dartmouth 20-5 and completely controlling the tempo of the game. And yet, when the buzzer sounded, the game remained scoreless, thanks to another strong early performance from Chemago.

The Badgers were finally able to break the seal of the Big Green’s

goal midway through the second, when Wisconsin went on the power play and junior forward Sarah Nurse sent the puck top shelf past Chemago to put them on the board.Nurse told UWBadgers.com the first goal really opened up the game for Wisconsin.

“Getting that first goal after peppering off shots the whole game really opened the floodgates for everyone,” Nurse said.

The floodgates did indeed open, as the Badgers rattled three goals in total in a six minute span.

Nurse added another goal to her tally and Clark scored her second of the weekend as Wisconsin went into the third period leading 3-0. The Badgers completely outskat-ed Dartmouth Saturday, and that was seen in the massive shot dif-ferential, with Wisconsin register-ing 63 shots on goal to Dartmouth’s nine. Dartmouth had only one power play opportunity compared to Wisconsin’s six. Wisconsin’s 63 shots on goal ranks sixth most in program history.

The Badgers have had great

success on both ends in the power play, and that has been a major key to their rise. They put away three goals on power play opportunities Saturday, which they also accom-plished earlier in the year against Minnesota Duluth. Defensively, no one has been better in the country in penalty killing than Wisconsin, as it has allowed only one goal in 47 power play situations.

The defense is led by Ryan and senior defenseman Courtney Burke, who are first and second in the nation in scoring for defense-

men, respectively. Junior goalie Ann-Renée

Desbiens has continued to impress even after her shutout streak ended, as she posted her 26th career shutout Saturday, good for sixth-best in NCAA history.

Wisconsin is firing on all cyl-inders, and it will need to keep that up next week when it takes on the No. 3 Minnesota Golden Gophers in the Border Battle. The games will take place Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 3 p.m. at LaBahn Arena.

If someone were to ask a stu-dent who the best athletes are on the UW-Madison campus, most people would give names such as Nigel Hayes, Corey Clement or Lauren Carlini. One name unlikely to be mentioned is Rose Lavelle, which shouldn’t be the case. Lavelle is one of the best college soccer players in the nation and was rated as the pre-season No. 2 player in the country by TopDrawerSoccer.com.

Lavelle was raised in Cincinnati, Ohio and played high-school soc-cer at Mount Notre Dame High School. She was highly recruited and considered playing at Notre Dame, Louisville, Dayton, Florida and Purdue, but eventually decided to come to Wisconsin. Lavelle was drawn to Wisconsin by head coach Paula Wilkins, who had coached her before on an interregional team in high school.

“I knew she was someone I would enjoy playing for and could help me get to the level that I want-ed to,” Lavelle said. “And when I came on my visit I loved everything about the school.”

Lavelle has made a name for her-self on the national scene by play-ing for the Under-20 and Under-23 national teams, where she gained valuable experience playing with players from across the country.

“I took away some leadership aspects,” Lavelle said. “Having to play a role on the world stage is defi-

nitely something I can bring back to help lead this team.”

Wilkins added, “she has gained consistency and she is taking more control of the game.”

Lavelle has received plenty of individual accolades while playing for the Badgers. She made the First Team All-Big Ten team each of her three years, and was the Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 2013. Even with all of these accolades piling up, the most important thing for Lavelle is the team’s success.

“My focus isn’t on individual awards,” Lavelle said, “I try to just focus on our team goals.”

Even with Lavelle receiving acco-lades throughout her career, she hasn’t let that be a distraction and has continued to progress, according to Wilkins.

“The biggest thing is consistency, she is better at breaking lines and connecting with the final pass,” Wilkins said.

Wilkins has had the pleasure of coaching some great college play-ers such as Christie Welsh and Ali Krieger. Both Welsh and Krieger played under Wilkins at Penn State, and they were also both on the U.S. Women’s National Team. Welsh won the Hermann Trophy, the most prestigious award in the sport, in 2001 and Krieger was a semifinal-ist for the award. Wilkins feels that Lavelle has just as much talent and potential as the other great players she has coached.

“Skill-set wise, she is one of the

best that I have had,” Wilkins said. “Her physical ability and her techni-cal ability are a little better, so she ranks at the very top.”

Lavelle was called up Nov. 24 to the U.S. Women’s National Team to participate in the final four games of the team’s Victory Tour, which con-tinues Dec. 6 against Trinidad and Tobago. She was one of eight players called up that were not on the World Cup team, and one of two college players called up to participate in the Victory Tour. If Lavelle plays well she could possibly earn herself a spot on the U.S. Women’s National Team for the upcoming Olympics.

During the college season, Lavelle knew there was talk of her joining the national team, but she didn’t allow that to draw her focus away from the field.

“There are a lot of good midfield-ers in contention, so I guess I just have to be ready in case I get called on,” Lavelle said.

While Lavelle may be unsure of her future with the national team, Jill Ellis, the coach of the national team, seems to feel differently. In an inter-view with espnW in mid-October, Ellis mentioned Lavelle as a player that will likely be called in for a tryout in the future.

“We’ll definitely be taking a look at some of the top college players,” Ellis said. “Positionally, we’re look-ing at... a center mid for Wisconsin, Rose Lavelle.”

Rose clearly made an impres-sion on Ellis at the U-20 level

national team. “Rose impressed me at the U-20

World Cup in Canada,” Ellis said “I think Rose has those physical quali-ties in college, and now I want to see her at our level.”

Lavelle was a key factor in leading the Badgers to a share of a Big Ten championship, leading the team in goals and points on the season. She

will have the chance to bring another Big Ten championship and a possible NCAA tournament appearance in her senior year for the Badgers.

While Lavelle may not be a well-known name on the UW-Madison campus, she is one of the most talented athletes in the country, and she may soon be a nationally known player.

rejuvenated running game captures axeby lorin CoxThe Daily CarDinal

Minneapolis, Minn.—When a running back has a big performance, some might say that he was “in the zone.” For redshirt junior Dare Ogunbowale and redshirt freshman Taiwan Deal, that expression was much more literal.

The Wisconsin Badgers (6-2 Big Ten, 9-3 overall) switched up their running scheme a bit more against the Minnesota Golden Gophers, and it paid off in the form of a 31-21 vic-tory and the right to hold on to Paul Bunyan’s Axe.

Ogunbowale finished with 161 yards and a touchdown on 33 car-ries, a 4.7-yard average, and Deal put up 92 yards of his own on 22 carries, punching it into the endzone twice. It was a career high for the running back, and it was the team’s best rush-ing performance of the season.

“It felt really good coming out and establishing our zone run game,” Deal said. “[Head] coach [Paul] Chryst, [running backs] coach John Settle, and [offensive coordinator and offensive line] coach [Joe] Rudolph, they put together a great game plan.”

This season, the Badgers have called mostly power runs, a man-blocking scheme, but they went to the zone runs more in Minneapolis, Minn., and it worked to near perfection.

“There was a lot of space to run, and having some open field and being able to make guys miss was pretty fun to finally get to do,” Ogunbowale said. “We knew we would get one-on-ones with zone running, and it was just our oppor-tunity and our job to win them, and we did a lot of that today.”

Chryst’s play calling still primar-ily consisted of power runs, but he

mixed in a bit more zone than he’s shown all season, and it gave the Gophers’ defense a different look that it struggled to stop.

The big differences between the two is the direction of the blocks and the reads of the running back. In power-man, there is one hole that the runner is supposed to run through, and every lineman knows which direction they need to move their defender to seal the sides of the lane.

In zone blocking, the entire offensive line moves with the run-ning back, and they try to block their defender a certain direction. Some linemen are asked to make difficult reach blocks, though, and if they can’t get the defender going one way, they use that defender’s momentum and keep blocking them to the other direction.

That leaves the running back to simply read the direction of the blocks in front of him and use the momentum of his blockers to deter-mine where his hole will be. This puts the play in the hands of the runner and takes some pressure off the offensive linemen who let the defenders determine where their blocks will go.

“It was really nice running zone this week,” redshirt freshman right tackle Jacob Maxwell said. “It takes the stress off a lot actually.”

Maxwell made his second start of the season in this game, his first start at right tackle, and the Wisconsin game plan featured quite a few runs off him and red-shirt senior left tackle Tyler Marz. Minnesota’s defensive ends lined up in the wide nine-technique posi-tion, aligned outside of the tight end or where the tight end would be even when there wasn’t a tight end on that side of the line.

This wasn’t the first defense that

the Badgers have faced with wide defensive ends, and Chryst’s offense was able to use that experience to be better prepared for it in this game.

“We knew that those guys were just contain guys who had to get the outside no matter what, so we used that to our advantage,” Maxwell said. “We would just kick them outside and we’d run right behind them, on my butt. It was really nice.”

The Minnesota defense wasn’t completely predictable, though. On occasion, they would have a defen-sive end crash inside and bring a line-backer or safety around the outside for contain. This look threw off the Wisconsin running backs a little, but it didn’t end up having too much of an impact on their big day.

“Sometimes they slant inside because they’ll be an edge pres-sure,” Ogunbowale said. “You guys probably saw there were a couple plays that I kind of made a bad read, because the wide-nine slanted in, but I wouldn’t say it affected too much because we’ve played against the wide-nines and wide-fives before.”

The Badgers were able to use their experience against teams with widely aligned defense ends to craft an excellent game plan and adjust to what Minnesota threw at them. Part of it was taking advantage of poor gap integrity by the Gopher linebackers and safeties, and part of it was this Wisconsin offensive line coming together and finishing the season strong.

They were confident in their game plan, and the players exe-cuted it just like it was drawn up. The coaching staff deserves a lot of credit for putting Ogunbowale and Deal in position to get in the zone and carry this UW team to vic-tory in the run-heavy fashion that Badger fans were used to.

Badgers’ unblemished season still intact after Dartmouth seriesby ryan WeinkaufThe Daily CarDinal

There is no stopping the No. 1 Wisconsin Badgers (10-0-0 WCHA, 16-0-0 overall). The Badgers dispatched nonconference foe Dartmouth (4-1-2 ECAC, 4-4-2) this Thanksgiving weekend, defeat-ing it 4-1 Friday and 4-0 Saturday.

Although the score might not show it, Dartmouth put up quite the fight against Wisconsin.

“I think it was the hardest challenge we’ve had this year,” sophomore forward Emily Clark told UWBadgers.com.

Friday, in front of a very full home crowd, Wisconsin got off to an early start when Clark slotted a pass through to fel-low sophomore forward Annie Pankowski, who put it away to put the Badgers up 1-0 only a few minutes into the first period.

Dartmouth responded quick-ly, as senior forward Lindsey

Allen capitalized not much later to even up the score one a piece.

From that point on, however, the Badgers dominated the Big Green, outshooting them 22-4 in the second period, but a lone goal by junior defender Jenny Ryan was all the Badgers could muster against a very strong performance by Dartmouth’s junior goalie Robyn Chemago.

Wisconsin couldn’t extend its slim lead through most of the third period until freshman for-ward Sophia Shaver gave it some breathing room with six minutes left in the game, winning a loose puck and sending it past Chemago to make it a 3-1 game.

Clark buried even the slightest hope that Dartmouth had when she went 1-on-5 for the second time this year to cap off the game at 4-1.

Hampered by their worst shoot-ing performance in nearly a decade, the Wisconsin Badgers (4-3) fell to the No. 7 Oklahoma Sooners (4-0) in a blowout Sunday, losing 65-48.

For nearly the duration of the game, Wisconsin struggled mightily from the field. The team finished the day shooting an abysmal 23.5 percent and couldn’t get its 3-pointers to fall either, as it shot 21.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Though Oklahoma played rela-tively stout defense, the Badgers also

couldn’t capitalize on their open-look shots, especially those in the paint.

“When we had the opportunities in the paint, we didn’t finish. I’m real-ly disappointed in that,” head coach Bo Ryan told the Associated Press.

Nigel Hayes produced a dou-ble-double, as he led the Badgers with 20 points and 11 rebounds, but the rest of the team did not contribute significantly.

Star guard Bronson Koenig, who leads the team with an average of 16.1 points per game, had one of his worst shooting performances of his career, as he shot 3-of-18 from the field and

only contributed nine points. The promising freshman duo of

Charlie Thomas and Khalil Iverson had little impact as well. Combined, they only generated five points and three rebounds while adding two turnovers and three fouls. With Wisconsin using a seven-man rota-tion, the two needed to step up more to have any chance against one of the best teams in the nation.

Aside from their ice-cold shooting performance, the Badgers struggled immensely on defense. While they did contain All-American guard Buddy Hield to 12 points, they still

could not stop the other playmakers on the Sooners’ roster.

Oklahoma had several uncon-tested 3-pointers, as they knocked down four in the first half. It also dominated Wisconsin in the paint, outscoring them 34-10. The Badgers’ lack of interior size contributed to this disparity.

While the loss certainly exposed the youth and inexperience of Wisconsin, the team showed glimps-es of improvement with its efficiency. Coming into Sunday, the Badgers had been plagued with turnover issues, as they nearly averaged 14 per game,

but in Sunday’s loss, they cut that average in half and had only seven.

With a slate of vigorous noncon-ference opponents still approaching, Wisconsin will have to learn fast from their mistakes to keep games from getting out of hand.

Wednesday, the Badgers will face another tough test in a hos-tile environment as they head to the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, N.Y., to face off against the Syracuse Orange at 6:15 p.m. as part of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge.
