State rep. Mark Pocan, d-Madison, and State rep. Kelda helen roys, d-Madison, both announced their candidacies for the 2nd congressional seat Wednesday.
State Reps. Pocan, Roys run for CongressBy Tyler NickersonThe Daily CarDinal
The race for the 2nd Congressional District began Wednesday when two state representatives announced their candidacies.
State Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Madison, and State Rep. Kelda Roys, D-Madison, will run for the seat U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., will vacate.
Pocan, who replaced Baldwin as state representative in 1998, announced his intentions to run for her Congressional seat Wednesday morning in front
of his signs store on Madison’s south side.
Pocan likened his experience challenging Gov. Scott Walker to how he would fight for Wisconsin families in Washington.
“If standing up to Scott Walker was the first battle, standing up to Paul Ryan and his brand of anti-government radicalism may well be the defining one,” Pocan said.
Roys, one of the youngest members of the state Assembly, said she would be the “bold” and “progressive” voice Washington lacks.
“I want to make sure the com-
munity I grew up in remains strong and vibrant for middle class families like mine,” Roys said in a statement.
Roys and Pocan are the first to announce formally their candi-dacies for the 2nd Congressional District. State Sen. Jon Erpenbach, D-Middleton, is expected to announce his plans to run within the next week.
State Rep. Chris Taylor, D-Monona, also announced her candidacy for Pocan’s seat in the 76th Assembly District. Due to redistricting, her residence lies outside of her current district.
Process for chancellor search committee sparks debate at student government meetingBy Anna DuffinThe Daily CarDinal
A UW-Madison alumnus who served on the committee that selected former Chancellor Biddy Martin warned the Associated Students of Madison Wednesday to be wary of their proposed process for selecting
students to serve on the commit-tee to choose a new UW-Madison chancellor.
In the proposed process, ASM’s Shared Governance Committee would review appli-cations from any interested
Shared Governance Chair nicholas Brigham-Schmuhl said aSM should hear candidates for the search-and-screen committee.

New apt plans approved despite church oppositionBy Taylor HarveyThe Daily CarDinal
Despite strong resistance from Luther Memorial Con-gregation, Madison’s Urban Design Commission granted ini-tial approval Wednesday to con-struct an apartment complex on the corner of Brooks Street and University Avenue.
According to the proposal, the new 80-unit complex, standing eight stories high, will be located at 1001 University Ave., across from Grainger Hall and adjacent to St. Frances House Episcopal Student Center and the Luther Memorial Congregation.
Luther Memorial’s members and pastors resisted the proposal because many said the structure was too large, and students living
there would cause too much con-gestion and noise.
Luther Memorial congrega-tional president Al Larson said he fears the congestion will make it “more of a hassle for peo-ple to come worship.”
“It’s not going to be a rapid demise of the congregation; it will be a slow, painful death,” said Larson. “One by one, pro-grams will die due to lack of funding and overall [the com-plex] will have a significant impact on the functionality of Luther Memorial.”
Luther Memorial arts com-mittee member Gary Brown said the massive scale of the pro-posal “overpowers the presence of Luther Memorial.”
“Prominence and awe is in
the importance of how [Luther Memorial] was designed,” Brown said.
Brown also worries the complex will cast shadows that affect the lighting through Lutheran Memorial’s stained glass windows.
Conversely, those who spoke in association with St. Frances showed nothing but support for the proposal.
St. Andrew’s Priestess Leigh Vicens said she approves of the pro-posal because it’s an opportunity to “sustain St. Frances as an impor-tant ministry” because of the com-plex’s proximity to St. Frances.
The proposal will be dis-cussed by Madison’s Plan Com-mission Committee in the near future.

A Department of Transportation official defended the DOT from critics Wednesday after The Capital Times released an internal memo in which the offi-cial told transportation employees not to voluntarily inform custom-ers of free voter identification.
According to the Voter ID law passed in May, voters must pro-vide a valid form of photo ID at the poll in order to cast a vote. The legislation stipulates that voters may receive a free identification card from the state Department of Transportation upon request.
Steve Krieser, who was in charge of overseeing day-to-day operations of DOT customer ser-vice desks released the memo July 1, the first day the DOT could issue free IDs under the new law. Krieser has since been promoted to DOT executive assistant.
The memo read “while you should certainly help customers who come in asking for a free ID to check the appropriate box, refrain from offering the free version to customers who do not ask for it.”
The memo was meant to
explain rules of the new policy for DMV employees prior to the new law’s implementation, Krieser explained in an interview with The Daily Cardinal.
State Sen. Jon Erpenbach, D-Middleton, criticized the DOT for using a “bait-and-switch” tactic in which customers would unknowingly spend $28 on an ID they could get for free.
“Helping people obtain a free ID card to vote should be no dif-ferent than any other service the [DOT] offers as an agent of the people of this state,” Erpenbach said in a statement. “This is a job that has been assigned to [the DOT] by the Legislature and one we expect [the DOT] to do with-out prejudice.”
But Krieser said even though employees do not actively inform all customers of the free ID alter-native, there are signs posted at the DMV building that explain the eligibility requirements to receive a free ID.
“If a person certifies that they want the ID for free because they need it for the purpose of voting,

DOT policy on free IDs faces criticism
Maddie and I have been together for 10 years now, and I have to
say it’s going pretty well. She’s been my bestie for as long as I can remember. Lately though, I find myself staring into the depths of her canine soul as she stares back into mine, and I feel a uniquely personal connection, as if we are somehow meant to be together.
On a daily basis, I catch myself doing things I wouldn’t normal-ly do. It started about a year ago when I saw a squirrel, and my heart rate suddenly jumped. I was alone, and something inside me forced me to chase after it for a few seconds while shouting some fairly rude things to it.
These strange happenings became startlingly more frequent. Last summer, I came home from work a bit hungry. Without think-ing, I went to the fridge and grabbed the piece of skirt steak my dad was planning on making for dinner. About halfway into the steak, I paused. I found my hands grasping a partially eaten piece of raw cow
muscle, and I was gnawing on a protruding bone. My face was cov-ered in blood, and it felt oddly great.
Something inside me was changing, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Instead of making decisions based on reason and logic, I began acting on pure ani-mal instinct. Just last week, I was talking to a friend on the phone and she made me stop. She told me that for the past minute I had made the full transition from what I wanted to do with my life to how much I was craving a Beggin’ Strip.
But what really has me floored is my dog’s recent behavior. I walked into my kitchen last winter break and found Maddie standing on the table with the remote near her paw watching TV.
A couple of weeks later, I saw my car pull into the driveway. Maddie opened the car door and turned off the car as well as the dubstep she was enjoying.
“Hmm, that’s odd,” I thought. “I always saw her as more of a clas-sic rock fan.”
Finally, during spring break I lost my phone. I looked all over my house for it and finally found it on my back porch. My innocent, little terrier was sitting on a chair with her legs crossed playing Angry Birds and texting my friends.
I knew something was a little off, but I just couldn’t tell exactly what it was. It was quite astound-ing, but the only way I can explain it is our souls are slowly merging. I feel like part of myself is leaving my being and part of Maddie is manifesting inside me.
Creepy, I know, but I’m not going to fight what’s natural. It just means we’re meant to be together, and I’m okay with that cause she’s a foxy little lady. You can’t mess with nature’s will, as my father once said... maybe.
So what did I learn from all of this? First, chewing on raw steak bones is surprisingly satisfy-ing. Second, my dog should be able to do calculus pretty soon. Third, Maddie is my soul mate and we’re going to get married this winter.
If you call me crazy, I will bite you and snarl menacingly.

Funding for future Madison bike initia-tives could be hindered by the new Capital Budget despite enthusiasm for the program, Mayor Paul Soglin said Wednesday at Madi-son’s Moving Bicycling Forward event.
While projects to further bicycle safety and infrastructure are extremely important, the $4.4 million budget dedicated to bikers and pedestrians must be used wisely and effec-tively, Soglin said.
“We need the help of the community in this,” Soglin said. “We must create an oppor-tunity here for public involvement before the planning process [for future bike initiatives] begins so that we can know, both literally and figuratively, where we are going.”
Tony Fernandez, City of Madison civil
engineer, discussed bike lane changes to the Regent-Monroe intersection, calling the inter-section a step in the right direction.
“It is the first place in Madison where we have consciously separated bicycles from pedestrians at a crossing,” Fernandez said. “Above all, it guides the less experienced rid-ers to a safer way through the intersection.”
Other developments mentioned include the addition of bicycle boxes, which enable bicyclists to make safe left turns at busy inter-sections, and the insertion of buffer lanes that create a small separation between car and bike lanes, such as on University Avenue.
As the city works to make Madison bike lanes more safe and accessible, panel members said bikers must now reach out and encourage more residents to use bicycles as their primary means of transportation.
A downtown Madison resident, female, 20, was startled Monday night when she looked out of her apartment window to find a man with his pants down who appeared to be masturbating.
According to Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain, the woman saw the man out the window of her first-floor apartment on the 600 block of North Lake Street at
around 10:30 p.m.“The man was standing a few feet
away looking in at her roommate who had not drawn the shades,” DeSpain said in a statement.
According to the report, the man, who the witness described as black, about 6'0, 20 to 25 years old, 150 to 200 pounds with short hair, a white shirt and gray pants, fled before police arrived at the scene.
Mayor Paul Soglin said he supports a bike-friendly Madison, but the new budget may affect the city’s future bike initiatives.

UW-Madison student and select finalists to speak before ASM. Student Council would then select one graduate student and one undergraduate student to serve on the committee.
The alumnus, Eric Paulson, said if student council is given a say in the selection of students to serve on the committee, the council’s political motives could influence their deci-sion. He said the Shared Governance Committee, a smaller subcommittee of ASM, should have the final say in the selection, as it did for the committee that selected Chancellor Martin.
Shared Governance Chair Nicholas Brigham-Schmuhl, who proposed the selection procedure, said he did not
think ASM would use their influence in the process for its own political gain.
“I think that having more eyes and ears on the finalist for this position is going to allow us to have a more per-sonal stake in the decision,” Brigham-Schmuhl said.
Although ASM was scheduled to vote on the process for selecting stu-dents to serve on the search-and-screen committee Wednesday, the vote was postponed until next week’s meeting.
Also at the meeting, ASM voted to endorse three campaigns for the fall 2011 semester.
The campaigns aim to make educa-tion at UW-Madison more affordable, raise the minimum wage for students with university jobs, and ensure land-lords respect student tenants’ rights.
City discusses bike plans
we are not going to do any further inves-tigation,” Krieser said. “That is their certification and they are going to get the ID for free.”
Krieser said while the memo encour-aged employees not to discuss the free IDs voluntarily in order to save time during appointments and keep the DOT running efficiently, its main objective is to obey the law the Legislature approved.

You'll have to look elsewhere this weekend if you want to see singing nuns or children frol-icking in the hills of Austria. Instead, “[title of show],” a mod-ern one-act musical, will be play-ing at the Mitchell Theatre. This meta-theater production ran in Madison over the summer and is being brought back for a two-weekend run.
The show within a show is based on the concept of a play-wright wishing to enter the New York Musical Theatre Festival, which is in a mere three weeks. He and a composer, along with two actresses, must rush to get the production ready for perfor-mance. Of course, drama ensues, and “[title of show]” lets audi-ences see the struggle between the desire for profit and fame and putting on a show that they consider quality.
Playing an actor in theater can be a difficult task, according to cast member and UW theater student Stuart Mott.
"It's something I haven't real-ly done before,” he said. “You have to kind of throw away all the stuff you know and take a fresh approach. But it's also a relief, because [the ideas] are so familiar to an actor."
Most musical numbers fea-ture only one or two voices from the cast, allowing the audience to create an emotional attach-ment with the characters and their struggles. With only four cast members, “[title of show]” does not allow anyone a moment to break character without the audience's notice.
"There's no chorus to hide in," Mott said.
The small cast also allowed the actors to get well acquainted and become tight-knit. However, this was both an advantage and a disadvantage, as the actors were forced to share close quar-ters for long periods of time and spend almost too much time together in rehearsal.
"Thankfully we didn't really have issues," Mott said.
The show’s music was a chal-lenge for the cast; with so few voices, every mistake stands out. The only accompaniment is a keyboard, but Mott described the songs as "catchy" and "come-dic." “[title of show]”’s sound is very contemporary, unlike what people normally associate with musical theater. The same tired
dance numbers are gone, and the dances are more fun and laidback instead of technical and over-rehearsed.
"We had more of a chance to improvise and have fun with the choreography," Mott said.
After already performing the show once this summer, the cast feels even more ready to impress audiences.
"It took a lot of time and prep-aration, but it paid off,” Mott said. “Now we're all really confident in our parts."
“[title of show]” will be playing at the Mitchell Theatre this week-end, September 9-11, as well as next weekend, the 16-18. Student tickets are $15 and general tickets are $22.

For these UW students and one recent alumnus, “[title of show]” is an opportunity to showcase their talents in a small-sized cast. With no room to hide these actors have to be spot on.

This Madison native has sold her posessions and moved into an RV to embark on a 50 state tour.
Her new album is coming out this fall, and this is a home-grown opportunity to hear it first.
This was very easy to see in the Badgers’ first game against UNLV. While the Wisconsin offense did put up almost 500 yards and did score 51 points, these numbers overshadowed a problem that could rear its ugly head in the future if adjust-ments are not made.
The problem that has been overshadowed is that the Badgers’ defense gave up almost 300 yards to a clearly subpar Rebels offense. There were problems especially in the Wisconsin run defense, which gave up 146 yards and allowed both of the Rebels’ top running backs to average over four yards per carry. This
problem is not due to lack of talent, but may be due to the fact that the defense is usually rusty the first game, with no game reps for tackling in the offseason and no game experi-ence for new players to mesh into the defense.
“We let the ball out; we didn’t cup it on a few of their longer runs,” said sophomore line-backer Chris Borland. We need to do a better job of setting the edge to the defense and allowing our pursuit from the inside to come get it.”
Badger fans will hope that the defense will be able to improve quickly because defending the run will not
get any easier with their next opponent Oregon State.
Despite losing in overtime to a FCS Sacramento State squad last week, the Oregon State Beavers had a lot of success running the ball. The Beavers were able to tear through Sacramento’s defense with freshman run-ning back Malcolm Agnew, who rushed 33 times for 223 yards (6.8 ypc) and three touchdowns. Due to a pulled hamstring that he had in practice, it is doubt-ful Agnew will start this week, but that does not mean that the Badgers will be able to take the Beavers more lightly. Though Agnew’s replacements cer-tainly will not be as talented, if the Badgers do not make some adjustments on defense, Oregon State may still have a lot of suc-cess on the ground.
Oregon State’s decision to play two quarterbacks in this weekend’s game could throw a wrench into the Wisconsin defensive machine. The quar-terback controversy is rooted in the results of last week’s game. Junior quarterback Ryan Katz started the game last week and struggle mightily. Down 14-3 at halftime, he and the rest of his Oregon State teammates were booed off the field. Katz was subsequently pulled from
the game and replaced by red-shirt freshman Sean Mannion. Mannion led the Beavers all the way back, commanding the offense to 15 fourth quar-ter points to tie the game and a touchdown to put them ahead in overtime. The Beavers would lose, however, with their defense giving up a touchdown and a two point conversion.
With Agnew being doubtful to be in the startin lineup this week, the pressure will be great-er on the secondary to stop the Oregon State quarterback tan-dem, and each quarterback pres-ents challenges to the secondary.
“The starter has a really strong arm. The guy can throw the ball really, really well,” red-shirt senior safety Aaron Henry said. “[Mannion] was throwing the ball extremely well, and he was the reason they were in the game at the end of the game.”
Although this quarterback controversy sounds like it could be more of a problem for Oregon State than Wisconsin, it is still something extra that the Badgers will have to account for. It may be difficult for the defense to get a feel for each quarterback if they are con-tinually rotated.
Something that could help the Badgers’ defense in this weekend’s game, however, is the fact that they see an offense similar Oregon State’s every day in practice. Oregon State runs a pro-style offense that relies heavily upon the power running game and play action passing, which is very simi-lar to what the Badgers run. It has even been said that Oregon State runs some plays that are identical to plays that the Wisconsin offense runs.
“That is the best possible preparation we can get. They are not totally the same, but for the most part a lot of formations and tendencies are the same as ours, and that is good prepara-tion,” redshirt senior defensive tackle Patrick Butrym said. It is safe to say that if the defense can succeed in practice against one of the best offenses in the country, it can succeed against a less-talented Beaver squad.

The main criticism the Badgers received after their win over UNLV last Thursday was that the run defense looked shaky at times. The criticism may be a tad bit harsh con-sidering the Badgers allowed only 146 rushing yards, but the team will face a tougher rushing attack in Oregon State on Saturday.
That being said, Wisconsin may have less to worry about this com-ing Saturday, because Oregon State and the nation’s leading rusher Malcolm Agnew felt a pop in his hamstring in practice earlier this week and is doubtful for the game. The true freshman rattled off 223 yards on the ground, including three touchdowns last Saturday.
“It doesn’t matter who’s back there,” co-defensive coordinator Chris Ash said. “They’re going to come out ready to play after what happened last Saturday, and if [Agnew] is there or if another back is, it doesn’t really matter. We have to prepare the same.”
The main reason for the Badger’s shaky start defensively can be attributed to poor tackling throughout the game.
“In the first game that’s always an issue,” linebacker Chris Borland said. “But there’s no excuse, we didn’t tackle as well as we should’ve and we’ll get better at it.”
2chRis BoRland ReBound
Borland said after last week’s game he felt that he could have played a little better in his first game since returning from an injury early last season.
Borland had seven tackles- good enough for best on the team- in the rout over UNLV, but the sopho-more linebacker is hungry for more against the Beavers.
“I think it was solid,” Borland said. “I wasn’t spectacular by any means, but I made every play that came my way. Just need to continue to improve.”
Borland and the rest of the
defense caught a surprise when UNLV came out with a pistol offense and used all sorts of for-mations, something the Badgers rarely see.
“It was an entirely new look, but we adjusted well on the fly,” Borland said.
This week, Borland and the rest of the defense have had a few extra days of preparation and will face an offensive style they are much more familiar with.
3oRegon state qB playJunior Ryan Katz of Oregon
State didn’t look as sharp as the coaching staff would’ve liked in the Beavers’ loss to Sacramento State in overtime last week, and redshirt freshman Sean Mannion looked impressive backing up Katz in the latter stages of the game.
Mannion’s success has prompt-ed Oregon State’s coaches to rotate quarterbacks for Saturday at Camp Randall.
They both have a good com-mand of the offense,” Ash said. “We’re going to prepare for what they do, and they’re not going to change what they do necessarily.”
Considering the Oregon State offense has an attack much like Wisconsin’s, the Badgers’ second-ary and the rest of the pass defense will get a good test that will pre-pare them for offenses similar to what they’ll see throughout the rest of the season.
4oFFensive line depthThe Badgers have always held
the reputation of having huge, overpowering offensive linemen. The team has also proved over
the years that it has no trouble rebuilding at the position. We’ll see if the Badgers can live up to these expectations Saturday, as starting left guard Travis Frederick is not expected to play after hurting his left knee. Sophomore Ryan Groy is expect-ed to start.
Oregon State only allowed 2.2 yards per carry against Sacramento State. Granted, Sacramento State is an FCS team, so Badger fans should show little concern considering dual-threat Russell Wilson and the powerful one-two punch of Montee Ball and James White in the backfield.
5Manasseh gaRneR RetuRn
Russell Wilson passed the ball extremely well in Wisconsin’s
51-17 win over UNLV, and it will be interesting to see if the return of sophomore wideout Manasseh Garner can make the passing attack even more dangerous.
Wilson put the ball in the air only 13 times in the contest but still came away with 255 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Will Garner’s addition after his hernia surgery open up the passing lanes even more? Will another threat at wide receiver open up the already potent rushing attack?
Garner’s return should com-plement senior Nick Toon and sophomores Jared Abbrederis and Jeff Duckworth very well.
Furthermore, Oregon State allowed 296 yards through the air against FCS opponent Sacramento State, so don’t be sur-prised if Wilson connects with Garner and the rest of the receiv-ers early and often.

NATIONAL OUTLOOK
Michigan-ND meet in primetime clashBy Adam Tupitza The Daily CarDinal
The second week of the col-lege football season offers a lighter schedule of big games, especially after last week’s excit-ing matchups between highly ranked teams in Boise State ver-sus Georgia and Oregon versus LSU, but there are still a hand-ful of important games around the country, including one hap-pening at a never before seen time and place.
Penn State vs. AlabamaThe Alabama Crimson Tide
will make the return trip this weekend to Penn State’s Beaver Stadium after they soundly defeated the Nittany Lions at home last season, 24-3. Both teams are undefeated after easy week-one victories over weak opponents at home. Penn State took care of Indiana State by a score of 41-7 and Alabama eas-ily rolled over Kent State, 48-7.
Alabama’s offense is led by junior running back Trent Richardson and first year start-ing sophomore quarterback A.J. McCarron. Richardson scored three touchdowns in the season opener on only 37 yards, while McCarron threw for only one touchdown and two inter-ceptions, potentially a cause for concern as it came against a weak opponent.
Meanwhile, Penn State’s offense is still in flux as head coach Joe Paterno says he expects both Rob Bolden and Matt McGloin to see playing time at quarterback against the Crimson Tide. Sophomore run-ning back Silas Redd ran for 104 yards and two touchdowns against Indiana State.
Both teams traditionally sport solid defenses, and this year should be no different. Expect a raucous atmosphere in Happy Valley for this late afternoon game as Penn State attempts to exact some revenge on the No. 3 ranked Crimson Tide.
Arizona State vs. MissouriBadger fans are likely very
familiar with Arizona State, as Wisconsin barely scraped out a 20-19 victory over the Sun Devils at Camp Randall last season. A Jay Valai extra-point block and a touchdown-saving kickoff return tackle by Shelton Johnson and Dezmen Southward were the only two plays keeping Arizona State from stealing a victory in Madison.
The Sun Devils are expected to be just as pesky of a team this year, but they have higher aspi-rations than the 6-6 record they earned last season. They host No. 21 Missouri in a late Friday tilt at Sun Devil Stadium. The Tigers are coming off of a less than impressive victory over Miami of Ohio last week, in which they only mustered 17 offensive points.
If Arizona State’s athletic linebacker Vontaze Burfict can take control of his tendency to commit personal foul penal-ties, he may be able to wreak havoc in the backfield against Missouri. With Blaine Gabbert leaving early to the NFL, the Tigers are leaning on inexpe-rienced sophomore quarter-back James Franklin to run the offense. Though Arizona
State is unranked, they are the touchdown favorite in this early nonconference battle.
Michigan vs. Notre DameThough tempered by Notre
Dame’s disappointing home loss to South Florida last week, this game still looks to receive a lot of publicity as it will be the first ever night game played at Michigan Stadium.
Michigan has installed perma-nent lighting at the stadium and plans on holding one night game per season if this weekend’s game goes off without a hitch.
Both teams suffered from lengthy weather delays last week. Notre Dame faced two delays totaling nearly three hours before falling to South Florida 23-20. Meanwhile, Michigan defeated Western Michigan 34-10, though the game was called with 1:27 left in the third quarter due to lightning.
Last year’s game between the two clubs was a thriller, as Wolverines quarterback Denard Robinson ran in a touchdown with 27 seconds remaining to giving Michigan a 28-24 victory.
The game figures to be excit-ing again this year, though the Wolverines will look dra-matically different under new head coach Brady Hoke. He has installed a new pro-style offense, but Robinson will still often be lined up in the shotgun.
Notre Dame may be the more talented team of the two, but they will have to play much more disciplined football than they did last week to earn a road victory.
Auburn vs. Mississippi StateAuburn’s poor defense was
exposed last week in a come-back victory over Utah State. The defending national cham-pions used a successful onside kick recovery to score 14 points in the final three minutes and escape with a 42-38 win. But the 448 total offensive yards from the Aggies has Auburn defensive coordinator Ted Roof searching for answers.
With Auburn’s big-name departures on both sides of the ball (quarterback Cameron Newton, defensive tackle Nick Fairley), the time might be right for Mississippi State to pick up a road victory over the Tigers. Senior quarterback Chris Reif looks poised to lead the Bulldogs to a special sea-son, with additional help from a fellow senior, running back Vick Ballard.
Mississippi State cannot afford to look ahead to their week three matchup against the No. 2 LSU Tigers. Bulldog fans are likely waiting with anticipa-tion for the nationally televised primetime home game, but the Bulldogs’ players first need to take care of business away from home this week.
It’s never easy to be on the road in the SEC, but the atmo-sphere at Auburn might be less electric considering the con-cerns surrounding their foot-ball team. If Mississippi State plays a calm and collected foot-ball game, they should be able to earn the victory at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Denard robinson rushed for a game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against notre Dame last season.

Canceling smog regulation hurts all
L ast Friday, President Obama tossed out a new smog regulation that
had been first announced in January 2010. He cited the con-dition of the dismal economy and the uncertainty that is holding it down as reasoning for his decision.
Some argue Obama’s deci-sion was purely political, though White House officials insist otherwise. Normally in sup-port of protecting the environ-ment with appropriate regula-tion, Obama only seems to have tried to gain political favor with
the Republican party which is becoming increasing critical of what they believe are expensive environmental policies.
Crazy as it may sound, the presidential election is right around the corner, so it is time to bring out the political tactics and the poor decisions that go along with them. In this case, Obama is attempting to coun-ter the looming, stubborn cloud that is the 9.1 percent unem-ployment rate.
That and other unfulfilled campaign promises seem to require a serious attempt to show the American elector-ate that economic strength is his priority. Unfortunately for him, it will likely backfire for two big reasons.
Repealing this one regulation will do little to improve the eco-
nomic outlook. A huge factor in the health of the economy is, ironically, how citizens view the health of the economy. If people think money is going to be com-ing in, they’re more likely to spend and stimulate business. If businesses anticipate more prof-its, they’re more likely to hire.
Unfortunately, Obama decid-ed the criticism he’d receive for passing what some have deemed expensive regulations is not worth the strengths it’d
bring to the environmental industry. However, the uncer-tainly of a flip-flopping presi-dent is still lethal.
Taking a look at the air qual-ity regulation of the past, one finds that businesses nearly always find some way to com-ply without too substantive of a financial hit. There may be small repercussions in the short term, but the health of our population and workforce will ultimately benefit.
More importantly, the smog regulations would not have taken effect for another year, giving com-panies enough time to adapt to the regulations, further minimiz-ing any damage to their economic outlook. When they finally would have taken effect, those in violation of the air quality controls would have two years to make adjust-
ments before facing fines. When one looks at the situ-
ation within the time frame, it becomes obvious that improving air quality in this way would have been a manageable task. When regulations can improve health and be reasonably managed by industry, there is no doubt they should be enacted.
The Clean Air Act prohibits the EPA from taking costs into consideration when setting ozone standards. Still it’s been calculat-ed that these new limits in the ill-fated regulation would have cost industry between $19 billion and $90 billion a year by 2020. But countering that number is the $13 billion to a $100 billion in health care savings expected to result from the higher quality of air.

President’s speech more important than football
P resident Obama just can’t win. Last week, the president
announced he would reveal his jobs plan in a joint-session to Congress on Sept. 7 at 6:30 p.m., the same time a Republican pres-idential candidate debate was scheduled to take place. The GOP demanded Obama reschedule. Republicans invoked the debate’s ill host, former First Lady Nancy Reagan, to push their point. Obama proposed a new time, but after all the drama, House Speaker John Boehner refused his suggestion, forcing the White House to push Obama’s speech to primetime Thursday in direct competition with the Packers-Saints game.
For station owners, the responsible and respectful deci-sion in this conflict seems obvi-ous: Air the president’s speech until it concludes, then switch feeds to the Packers game. The White House has even promised the speech will only last 30 min-utes, meaning only the meaning-less pre-game programming will be interrupted. In spite of this, Joe Poss, the manager of the Green
Bay affiliate for NBC, decided last week to air the Packers coverage, relegating Obama’s job speech to a sister station.
Of course, this decision doesn’t mean the president’s speech won’t be available; all other networks will broadcast it. One station’s deci-sion doesn’t have much too much impact. T h a t b e i n g s a i d , M r . Po s s ’ d e c i -s i o n sets a distaste-ful precedent, one that disre-spects the presi-dency and Green Bay residents.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 13,000 Green Bay residents are unem-ployed. For these citizens, people who have felt the reces-sion more than most, the announcement of a potential jobs plan is vitally important.
If every network decided not to air the
speech in lieu of highly rated primetime programming, how would these individuals feel? Like second class-citizens, I would guess.
Perhaps the unemployed would assume their livelihoods to be sec-ondary to the entertainment of the community. If this is the case, it
should not be. The country’s unemployment rate is
over 9 percent, and it’s not expected
to get any l o w e r
with t h e next
t h r e e y e a r s .
At times like these,
nothing should preempt a speech by the president about job creation.
Furthermore, this decision poses the ques-tion of why the
presidency has become so deval-
ued in American culture. Why does
Obama have to fight for airtime to make
pertinent announce-ments? I have a hard
time imagining President
Franklin Roosevelt struggling with radio stations to broadcast one of his “fireside chats.” Imagine the public outcry if Roosevelt’s WWII updates weren’t broadcast on local stations. Now it seems like the pub-lic could care less what the presi-dent has to say.
Granted, FDR’s addresses took place in a technologically smaller world that was facing undoubtedly greater and more imminent threats, but it seems the interest the public has in listening to public servants is long gone.
I would like to believe net-work heads are making these choices, but maybe these exec-utives are just giving people what they want.
The United States’ political environment is unquestionably poisonous, but has our nation become so callous and indiffer-ent towards our leaders that we would rather watch a football game than hear about our lead-er’s plan for economic recovery?
I hope not, because if that’s the case, the United States’ prob-lems run deeper than television scheduling conflict.
This decision also relates to President Obama at a personal level. The president is facing increasingly less respect. He is a leader in a nation where it seems that the entire opposing party refuses to listen to anything he has to say but instead waits for him to leave office. He faces conflict with many conservatives who filter their knowledge of his policies through Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. And perhaps most discouraging of all, a small but vocal population refused his legitimacy as a United States citi-zen for the first half of his term. It is easy to see that the presi-dent has plenty of barriers block-ing his communication with the American people.
I know Joe Poss’ choice to not run Obama’s speech was made for monetary rather than political reasons. Regardless, it is a shame that his decision is making him one more communication barrier between the American people and their president.
Half of the country already hates this man, Mr. Poss; at least let the other half hear what he has to say.

Wisconsin’s unemployment rate of 7.8 percent, while lower than the national average, is unpleasant. Last month, our financial activities were down 3.2 percent from the previous July. The idea of industry and jobs leaving our state is not a welcome thought, but it does not seem completely unlikely. Unemployment and a slowing economy are valid concerns, but unlikely to have been caused by the smog regulations within the time frame.
Canceling the smog regula-tion will not pan out the way Obama’s administration antic-ipates, because people see it for what it is—a political move. President Obama and the White
House have double-crossed environmental groups that had suspended lawsuits originally filed against the Bush admin-istration and have continued to hold off on the suits based on Obama’s promises to use science instead of politics as his guide in decision-making. His recent decision changes things. Unfortunately for him, environmentalists are now threatening to get the lawyers involved—again.
Over a year and a half of attempted progress on the smog regulation was cut short for nothing—not even a politi-cal gain by the President.

hockey, a reckless goon hell-bent on turning the sport into nothing but mindless hits and fights But he wasn’t, and that’s the thing about enforcers like Derek Boogaard: They must love the game more than we can ever know. They have to.
Advancing through hockey’s minor leagues is hard enough for any player. But most do it imagining a future modeled after guys like Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky.
Boogaard knew there wouldn’t be glory in what he did, even if he got to the game’s highest level. He knew he’d be the bad guy in every game. He would work his ass off hitting for his team and fighting for it, only to see everyone in hockey say he’s a stain on the sport, and yet he still came to the rink every day. He still gave every bit of himself to hockey.
He is a reminder of how much we can give to something, but only if we love it enough. Only if we’re willing for it to hate us; only if we’re willing to be its bad guy, its pugi-list, its Boogey Man. If we still give more when the thing we dedicate our lives to decides it doesn’t want us any more, if our dedication never waivers when it tries to erase us from its history, we will know Derek Boogaard’s dedication.
He was with us for an unbeliev-ably short amount of time, but as stupid and as selfish as this might sound, I’m jealous of his ability to live a life that full of dedication. We all should be.
We can only hope we’re lucky enough to share that love. Even if it’s just for 28 years.
EPILOGUEWhat started as a shocking
but, at that time, isolated trag-edy in May soon led to a haunting summer for hockey.
On Aug. 15, Vancouver Canucks enforcer Rick Rypien, a player very much in the same mold as Derek Boogaard, and a tough guy who struggled mightily with depression, was found dead. Then on Aug. 31, recently retired tough guy Wade Belak passed as well. A number of news outlets have reported both men committed suicide.
How much sense is there when three men so similar die by their own doing. How much logic can we see when a family has to bury its 28-year-old son, and another puts a 27-year-old in the ground a few months later.
How much reason can we force onto this summer when two daughters are left without the father everyone said was the happiest, funniest guy in the dressing room.
There’s a lot to learn about these deaths—about the depres-sion that gripped Rypien and Belak, and the addiction that overtook Boogaard—and we should take those lessons to heart so more families don’t face a simi-lar tragedy. For now, though, we should know the lives they gave to hockey, and marvel at the love they had for the game.

According to Toon, he and Wilson have a relationship that isn’t common among players of their positions.
“Russell is a good friend; we get along well on and off the field,” he said. “I’ve never real-ly had a quarterback that I’ve hung out with and clicked with as much as I do with Russell off the field so that is a new dimension for me.”
“I don’t know how many quarterbacks and receivers hang out off the field because of the nature of the positions,” Toon said. “In our situation our personalities are similar and it definitely doesn’t hurt to have that on the field.”
In the season opener last Thursday against UNLV, Wilson connected with Toon twice for 54 yards. Both com-pletions came on Wisconsin’s
third scoring drive of the game. On the first hook up Wilson rolled out of the pocket and found Toon down-field for a 39-yard gain and then stood tall in the pocket to again find Toon streaking across the middle of the field.
While the plays didn’t make anyone’s highlight reel after the game, those two comple-tions to Toon showed off the dynamic playmaking ability Wilson brings to the Badgers’ offense and the potential the
two players have to form a potent offensive duo. Having a quarterback that can extend the play by rolling out of the pocket will help Toon get open on a more regular basis this season and should lead to big plays for the UW offense.
Toon said that Wilson’s playmaking ability was evi-dent from the first time the two practiced together.
“I know what he can do. I’ve seen what he can do. I wasn’t surprised at all by how he played on Thursday,” Toon said. “[Wilson’s talent] was evi-dent from the first time I went out and threw with him. He’s a great player and I’m very happy to have him here at Wisconsin.”
If Toon and Wilson prove to be as capable as they believe each other are, an already explo-sive offense just might help carry the Badgers to unprec-edented heights this season.

With Wilson’s mobility and Toon’s pass catching ability, the two have the potential to create a lot of big plays down the field.

Wisconsin head coach Brett Bielema must have had that vital relationship in mind when the Badgers’ brought quarterback Russell Wilson in for an early June visit in hopes of convinc-ing the former All-ACC athlete to play his final year of college football eligibility in Madison.
As most Badgers fans know by now, during his visit to cam-
pus Wilson met with several players and coaches, but it was senior wide receiver Nick Toon that Bielema trusted to show Wilson around town.
Wilson stayed with Toon during his visit, establishing an early relationship between two of the Badgers’ top offensive playmakers this season. Since then Wilson and Toon have
become fast friends, something that helps form a dynamic on-field connection.
“It helps when you bond outside of the football field. It definitely helps,” Wilson said. “It helps you trust one another and continually build that trust on the field.”

in Thursday’s opener against UnlV, russell Wilson connected with nick Toon twice for 54 yards. Their off-field relationship may help them become one of the Big Ten’s most dangerous duos.
nick Toon and russell Wilson hope their off-field friendship translates to a dynamic on-field connection.
The relationship between a quarterback and his receivers is
an important one for the success of any football team. If a
team’s signal caller and his pass catchers aren’t on the same
page it slows the entire offense down, but if those players have that
good rapport, that ability to trust one another to make the right play
on the football field, the offense will run like a well-oiled machine.
Story by Ryan Evans
What Boogaard gave was greater than any of us can imagine
I f you didn’t play with Derek Boogaard on your team, chances are good
you thought he was an asshole.If you ever had to muck
it up in a corner with the New York Rangers forward or skate through the neutral zone with him on the ice, you knew he was there, you prob-ably weren’t thrilled about it.
If you were his teammate, though, you loved him. That’s because he was an enforcer; a hard hitter and frequent fight-er whose role, although inti-mately connected to hockey’s
history, is now at its fringe.So when Derek Boogaard
died in May—40 days before his 29th birthday and not long after consuming a deadly cock-tail of pain killers and alco-hol—he took with him a com-plicated legacy. It’s the kind that comes from a career spent toeing the line between hock-ey’s tough style and the ugly places its violence can go.
His job as an enforcer is a part of hockey’s history, albeit a controversial one, and his hits and fights were an equal measure of what hockey is, what it was and what it hopes to never become.
It would be easy, then, to say Boogaard was out to destroy
