Striking Palermo’s worker Flora Anaya speaks about her alleged poor working conditions working at Palermo’s and the grievances behind the workers’ four-month strike.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison Student Labor Action Coalition and Teaching Assistants’ Association rallied alongside two striking Palermo’s Pizza workers to campus Wednesday to share their experiences from working for the pizza company.

The labor issue with Palermo’s began in June 2012, when 150 workers at the Milwaukee facto-ry were fired after attempting to unionize and protest alleged poor working conditions and wages.

According to SLAC, UW-Madison currently has a $200,000 contract with Palermo’s and members said they want the university to cut ties with the pizza company until the workers’ demands are met.

The workers, Flora Anaya and Maria Hernandez, said they both worked for 12 hours or more a day at minimal pay.

Both women also said they were repeatedly refused time off, often working seven days a week.

Additionally, according to Hernandez, they were forced to work during pregnancy because they were not allowed time off.

Anaya said she also suf-fered an injury on the job and Palermo’s refused to call a doc-tor, causing her to endure per-manent damage, which restricts her abilities to use her hand.

SLAC member Tina Trevino-Murphy said the leverage the workers had in the strike by reducing Palermo’s production is shrinking the longer they are out of work and the only other way to help the workers is to boycott the Palermo’s brand.

“Not only is [the boycott] something we could do, it’s something we have to,” Trevino-Murphy said. “The only hope for the success for these workers lies in the community support.”

UW-Madison administration is aware of the issue between the Palermo’s workers and the pizza company and will moni-tor the dispute, according to Vice Chancellor for University Relations Vince Sweeney.

“It appears to be a difficult and complicated issue and we are hopeful that the parties can reach a resolution in the imme-diate future,” Sweeney told The Daily Cardinal Oct. 17.

SLAC and TAA members said they are shifting their focus from petitioning Chancellor David Ward to cut ties to Athletic Director Barry Alvarez because Palermo’s is sold at numerous athletic events and even market-ed with the Bucky Badger logo.

“We want to be able to show that the entire campus and Madison community is upset about [UW-Madison’s] business partner-ship with Palermo’s,” Co-President of the TAA Charity Schmidt said.

studentgroupsdebateelectionissuesTwo weeks before the 2012

Presidential election, stu-dents from opposing sides of the political spectrum joined in a debate co-sponsored by a bipartisan student organization at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Wednesday.

Members of the College Democrats and College Republicans debated domestic and foreign pol-icy issues such as the deficit, job creation, health care and education reform under the moderation of UW-Madison Political Science pro-fessor Donald Downs.

The Bipartisan Issues Group co-hosted the debate with the Alexander Hamilton Society.

“When you watch the debates online … it’s cool, but we don’t actually know [the candidates],” said BIG president Alex Holland. “The people that are here tonight, they’re our peers, our friends.”

In one particularly student-focused segment of the debate, Chris Hoffman, Chair of College Democrats, said cuts to education by Republican governors have

directly affected students and raised tuition costs and empha-sized that President Barack Obama understands the importance of col-lege education being affordable.

However, College Republicans member Tim Schlidt emphasized the need for institutional, not monetary, reform in education.

No matter the extent of dis-agreement on the issues between the two sides, leaders from both groups placed importance on the student vote, saying the choices between candidates rep-resent two different views for America’s future.

Hoffman said students could make the difference in what is currently a close race similar to that in the 2008 election.

College Republicans Chair Jeff Snow also said student engage-ment in the election is paramount.

“We’re going to inherit this country,” Snow said. “[Students] need to look deeper at the issues that are facing our generations, and how we need to solve them.”

City, campus plan to jointly address safety

Student leaders announced plans Wednesday to begin regu-lar meetings about campus safety issues with a variety of interested parties from within the univer-sity and the city as a whole.

In the future the students hope to have an opportunity to meet with Madison Common Council alders, University of Wisconsin police, City of Madison police and the editorial boards of both cam-pus newspapers on a monthly basis to discuss important cam-pus safety concerns through the Associated Students of Madison University Affairs Committee.

According to University Affairs Committee Chair Becca Buell, the meetings are an “excit-ing step forward” that came out of ASM’s recent campus safety town hall meeting, where stu-dents asked questions of a panel of alders and city and campus police officers.

Buell said she collaborated with city Ald. Scott Resnick, District 8,

and Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, in coming up with the idea.

“[Scott Resnick] has reached out, along with Mike Verveer, to make a partnership with ASM to ensure that campus safety will continuously be discussed,” Buell said.

According to Buell, the meet-ings would continue discussion on issues such as campus lighting and spotty cell phone service in certain areas of campus, as well as the recent controversial ejec-

City’s Food Policy Council hosts inaguaral meetingByMelissaHowisontHe dAIly cArdInAl

A new committee designed to strengthen local food move-ments while promoting healthy lifestyles convened for the first time Wednesday.

The Madison Food Policy Council, created by Mayor Paul Soglin, focuses on rehabilitating underprivileged neighborhoods by increasing residents’ access to locally grown, healthy food.

“One of the things that char-acterizes neighborhoods that are under stress is that they don’t have access to good food at good prices,” Soglin said.

Soglin said instead of waiting for communities to improve eco-nomically, socially and environ-mentally, local communities need to provide healthy, inexpensive food options that could rehabili-

tate struggling neighborhoods.A primary goal for the council

is to improve the Dane County Farmers’ Market by creating pro-grams that eliminate inefficien-cies such as trying to utilize the 30 to 40 percent of food products that are left over once the market closes in November, according to Soglin. Committee members will decide how to overcome these inefficiencies by either selling more or donating food at the end of the season.

Additionally, the city’s Food and Alcohol Policy Coordinator Mark Woulf said he hopes to enact incentive programs to use food stamps at the market as a way to promote healthy living in the community.

Soglin also emphasized the

ASM to revisit creation of sustainability committee

The Associated Students of Madison Student Council decided Wednesday to recon-sider the creation of a grass-roots sustainability committee after University of Wisconsin-Madison students showed inter-est in the committee’s creation.

Much of the meeting was dedicated to open forum where several UW-Madison students spoke in favor of creating the pro-posed Sustainability Committee, which was voted down in a coun-cil meeting last week.

UW-Madison student Kevin Mauer said in open forum he felt a sustainability committee would be beneficial in addressing envi-ronmental issues on campus.

Mauer said the university’s use of fossil fuels is a current issue he felt the sustainability committee could address.

“It is immoral for the univer-sity to have investments in fossil fuel industry … and immoral for students to pay into it, when it won’t be beneficial,” Mauer said.

Other students also said they felt the committee would give students a voice in addressing sustainability or alternative forms of ener-gy, beyond what is offered through classes and majors.

After Student Council voted down the committee last week, ASM Rep. Collin Higgins, who first proposed the new commit-

tee two weeks ago, said he sent out emails to students to attract their attention because he felt council representatives wanted to hear more about students’ opinion on the issue.

ASM Nominations Board Chair Sean McNally motioned to reconsider the committee’s creation after hearing from stu-dents in open forum.

Council voted to address and vote on the committee in its next meeting Oct. 31.

According to ASM Press Office Director David Gardner, the council will need to approve the committee in two consecu-tive meetings for it to be created.

Gardner said more informa-tion about the meetings will be released as additional parties confirm their involvement.

UW student reports ongoing fraud, scamming incident

A University of Wisconsin-Madison student reported a fraud incident to Madison police Oct. 6, which had been progress-ing since mid-September.

The 22-year-old female said she began receiving emails, calls and text messages from a “John Noonan” of “ADC Solutions, Inc.” in mid-September after listing her information as a job seeker on the Wisconsin School of Business’s Business Career Center, accord-ing to Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain.

She said in a police statement Noonan informed her she had

been hired as a store evaluator and was supposed to deposit a check for over $2,000 and spend the cash at various stores, accord-ing to DeSpain. The balance was then to be sent to a “John McFadden” in Ireland.

DeSpain said the student checked with the WSOB and learned that Noonan is not asso-ciated with the university.

Police told the student she should inform Noonan she was in contact with police, and he should “cease and desist his contact with her,” according to DeSpain.

taxis to begin limited cruising of State Street during peak bar hours Nov. 7

Madison cab drivers will be allowed to cruise on State Street between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. beginning Nov. 7 after receiving approval from federal transpor-tation authorities Wednesday.

The city approved an ordi-nance in September that allows taxi drivers to drive on State Street between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m., but limits them from cruising for more than one block.

Because the federal govern-ment provided the city with funds to convert State Street into a pedestrian mall, the city need-ed permission from the Federal

Transit Administration before enacting the ordinance.

The city received confirma-tion Wednesday from the FTA that the ordinance does not interfere with the purpose of State Street as a pedestrian mall, according to a letter from FTA Office of Program Management and Oversight Director Dominick Gatto.

“Allowing cabs to return to State Street at night is long over-due,” Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said. “I feel badly for the incon-venience the lack of cab service has caused many people.”

State unemployment falls from August to SeptemberThe unemployment rate

in Wisconsin decreased from August to September, accord-ing to a report released Wednesday by the Department of Workforce Development.

Preliminary estimates by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics in the report said statewide unemployment dropped from 7.5 percent in August 2012 to an estimated 7.3 percent with sea-

sonal adjustment in September, half a percent lower than the national unemployment rate in the same month.

September unemployment in Madison, at 4.5 percent, is the second lowest rate for a Wisconsin city listed on the report. Dane County also had the second lowest unemploy-ment rate of all Wisconsin coun-ties for September.

Additionally, Unemployment Insurance data showed the pri-vate sector grew by more than 37,000 jobs between March 2011 and March 2012.

The estimates are based on Unemployment Insurance claims as well as monthly sur-veys of a sample of 1,450 house-holds and about 5,500 employ-ers in Wisconsin, and are sub-ject to revision.

UW releases official job listing for next chancellorThe University of

Wisconsin-Madison released a formal position description for the university’s next chan-cellor on its Human Resources website Wednesday.

The position listing includes a number of desired qualities in the next chancellor, such as a commitment to shared gov-ernance and creating a diverse campus environment.

Additionally, the description requests an individual prepared

to bring the university forward through tough economic times in higher education by utilizing innovative education and rev-enue resources.

The Chancellor Search and Screen Committee convened in early October to begin receiv-ing applications and nomi-nations for the next leader of Wisconsin’s flagship university.

By March, the committee will recommend at least five finalists to a special commit-

tee of UW System regents and UW System President Kevin Reilly. This special committee will then present one candidate to the full Board of Regents for approval in April.

The university is hoping the new chancellor will take over for Interim Chancellor David Ward in July 2013.

According to the listing, can-didates must apply by Dec. 21 to ensure their consideration for the position.

need to nurture people in the local food business by providing them with the necessary tools, education and assistance to be successful in their businesses.

Another project idea that involves the city zoning board would develop a healthy city design by regulating the number of fast food restaurants within a specific area, according to city planner Matt Tucker.

Also at the meeting, council members discussed collaborating

with other groups dedicated to local health and agriculture, such as the Dane County Food Council.

Communication and coopera-tion between the city’s neighbor-hoods is the most integral part of the Food Policy Council’s mission because its ultimate goal is to create a sustainable agricultural economy in Madison, according to Soglin.

“Yes it is about nutrition, yes it is about access to food and the secret here is making sure every corner of the city is engaged and everyone has access to food, good nutrition,” Soglin said.

Dane County sheriffs arrest inmate missing since oct. 13Madison police arrested a

Dane County detectives and agents from the United States Marshall Service received infor-mation Tuesday that Jason Helgestad was located in a park-ing lot on Madison’s east side,

according to Lt. David Karls.Karls said in a statement sher-

iffs took Helgestad into custody without incident, and he is cur-rently in the Dane County Jail.

A deputy sheriff reported Helgestad missing after the inmate removed his GPS mon-itoring device and ran away from a correctional facility he was living in as part of the

Pathfinders program, which is an alternative rehabilitative service that provides therapy and education to inmates in order to reduce overcrowding in county jails.

Helgestad currently faces escape charges in addition to a 180-day sentence for retail theft and bail jumping, accord-ing to Karls.

M adison’s new One Barrel Brewery opts for quality over quan-

tity: it crafts its unique brews one by one. And though propri-etor and brewer Peter Gentry may not have expected such a business model to result in kegs that sell out in a single night, challenging him to match supply with each week’s rising demand, he certainly isn’t complaining.

In truth, the popularity of the four-month-old brewery, tucked away in the quiet Atwood neigh-borhood, is astounding. The success seems to point to two possible conclusions: either the people of Madison are eagerly seeking more local craft beer, or One Barrel’s brews are pretty damn good. In my opinion, it’s probably a little of both.

As a self-proclaimed beer nerd, stepping into the brew-pub made me feel immediately at home. A clean, open and mod-ern space, exposed brick walls accent the dark wooden bar and tables, while the brewing system stands proudly exposed in the corner. “Well, I guess they make it right there,” I thought, glanc-ing from the four One Barrel taps to the steel tank setup.

I ordered the oatmeal stout, which stayed true to the original style, providing a fantastic oat grain sweetness to compliment the roasted malts. Whereas so many brewers today attack their stouts with an onslaught of chocolate, coffee, bourbon and vanilla, often with either

breathtaking or disastrous results, it became clear to me that Gentry is more concerned with nailing the basics first. It’s a philosophy that makes a lot of sense: the key to any over-the-top beer is a good base recipe to build from.

Half way through my pint, I moved from the bar to a table to sit down with the brewmaster and talk about his company, his vision and his beer. A home brewer for eight years before opening his own brewery, Gentry explained how the One Barrel concept truly arose out of practicality.

By modeling his setup after the homebrew equipment he had been using for years, the mas-sive leap of faith required for an ad salesman to save up his cash, quit his job and start a brewery became a few feet shorter.

The One Barrel theme also undeniably serves as a great marketing tool, embodying everything that the craft beer industry is all about. The name is made up of just two words, but the idea says so much more: small, independent, local and brewed with passion by a per-son who cares, rather then a faceless factory and a bloated ad campaign.

However, brewing one beer at a time has its limitations. Currently, Gentry can only churn out enough beer for four taps or so at a time. Careful not to alienate the more casual beer drinkers, he attempts to always keep some of the better-known styles, such as an amber ale, pale ale and kolsch on tap. Consequently, Gentry’s more ambitious recipes such as Imperial and Black IPAs, Imperial Stouts and Strong Belgian Ales are in more limited supply.

Perhaps the most frequently

available of his experimental ales is the brew-contest winning #2 Strong Ale. But even so, I wish the daily tap menu was a bit more ambitious. Yes, good beer sells, especially with nearby locals, but if I’m going to make the three mile trip out to Atwood without a car, I want something great. Therefore, if there is one criticism I have to make of One Barrel’s philosophy, it is that the brewery still has yet to really step out of its shell. You’ve prov-en to me you have the basics down, now show me what you can really do.

Thankfully, with his com-

pany’s instant popularity and consistent growth, Gentry expects to expand to 6-9 taps and guest appearances at some of Madison’s better craft beer bars in the near future. This should provide enough breathing space for One Barrel to really flex its brewing power. Until then, I’ll definitely be keeping my eye out for some of Gentry’s more bold, ambitious and adventurous brews, even if they only appear on occasion.

T here’s a lot to dislike about election season. Campaign volunteers inundating

your home with phone calls and solicitations imploring you to vote for their candidate. People start-ing flame wars regarding who “won” the debate, if that’s even possible to discern. The mouth-breathers who say “I’m moving to Canada if Candidate X is elected president.” (Quite frankly, those people should move to Canada, because they’re insufferable.)

But if there’s one thing that bothers me more than anything else, it’s the widely-held assump-tion that one must vote in the election, since it’s our civic duty and what not as the caretakers of democracy. It doesn’t matter who you vote for, the chorus says, just make sure you vote. Because if you don’t vote, you’re not a true American. YOU’RE NOT ONE OF US!

I could not disagree more with this mindset, which rings with hollow jingoism. Many of the people who get on your ass

about voting are the same people who complain when the State of the Union address interrupts an episode of “Big Bang Theory” in January. Because DAMMIT OBAMA, you’re making me miss out on the shenanigans Sheldon and Leonard are up to this week. I hate myself for knowing those names, because “Big Bang Theory” is just the worst. If you watch “Big Bang Theory,” you’re not a true American.

Look, I get the importance of the political process, I really do. We can complain about how we feel about political issues all we want, but we don’t have any credibility to voice such gripes unless we vote. By casting our vote for the individual we feel has the best vision for our nation, we can legitimize our-selves as informed Americans.

But what if you don’t believe either of the two presidential can-didates reflects your vision, and you’re not delusional enough to believe that writing in another candidate makes a difference? Do we have to just suck it up, weigh the pros and cons of both Romney and Obama, and make a choice? In that case, my vote could honestly be bought. Twenty dollar gift card to Olive Garden, you say? Score another vote for ol’

Mitt, right after I stuff roughly 50 breadsticks up my piehole.

So long as there’s a reason for doing so, I think not voting is just as powerful a form of democ-racy as choosing to vote. Not vot-ing tells the government that you feel little incentive for doing so, whether it be out of disengage-ment with politics entirely or out of dissatisfaction with the candi-dates paraded in front of you.

My reason for not voting in the Nov. 6 election is primar-ily as a result of my perception (which may very well be wrong given my general aversion toward anything political) that a highly partisan Congress will fail to execute most, if not all, of the measures each candidate offers as the linchpins of their campaigns. As slaves to their constituents, Congressional representatives recognize that if they fail to adhere to party lines, they’ll likely face great-er vulnerability come the next midterm election.

Instead, it’s more prudent for politicians to align their plat-forms with party aims in order to capture the largest group of electors possible. And it’s for this reason that I maintain my stance of not voting. Just like me, every-one else wants their own opinion

to be heard and put into prac-tice, but if everyone’s opinion was heard, we’d never reach any sort of consensus. As a result, the most popular opinions – those that align with the political party that receives the most support – are the only ones put into prac-tice. And even those opinions might never be executed, due to the aforementioned irreconcil-ability of Congress.

I’m sure my perspective on the state of American politics won’t deter others from voting, as it shouldn’t. If you’re less prone to disenchantment with government than I am, and truly feel your vote makes a difference, you should cer-tainly vote. Just don’t act like your decision to vote endows you with a certain level of dignity that enables you to harangue non-voters for failing as Americans. There’s more than one lens through which a per-son can view how they choose to exercise democracy.

So I won’t be voting Nov. 6, no matter how many times politi-cal ads disrupt my YouTube ses-sions. Some may despise me for it, but I can promise you one thing: I’m not moving to Canada.Want to talk some election-time sense into Adam? Prefer to abstain from voting yourself? Shoot Adam an email at ajwolf2@wisc.edu.

Madison will once again host Freakfest Saturday, the annual Halloween bash that takes over State Street with music, food and costumes, which has become an inte-gral part of Madison’s culture as a party destination on Halloween.

But only a few years ago, the atmosphere of Halloween on State Street was unrecogniz-able compared to the gated and more care-fully policed street festival it is today.

Madison has long been the destination of a pilgrimage of partiers from around the country, drawn to the Halloween hijinks on State Street. But during the early 2000s, crowds escalated to tens of thousands of people who showed up to drink and party during the weekend preceding Oct. 31.

These unsanctioned parties grew in size every year, and in 2002 through 2005 police resorted to riot gear and pepper spray to disperse the crowds in the early hours of Sunday mornings.

Violence, injuries and vandalism were rampant at the event during these years,

with many partiers breaking windows and looting stores, according to former Mayor Dave Cieslewicz.

Cieslewicz said he received pressure from Madison residents to shut down the event because of the dangerous atmosphere, financial burden to the city, and negative stigma it created for Madison.

“It was getting dangerous, and that was the thing that concerned me as mayor,” Cieslewicz said. “It wasn’t a good image for the city, it wasn’t safe, it wasn’t good for stu-dents, it wasn’t good for anybody.”

Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said the city had a choice to either either end Halloween fes-tivities or figure out a way to make Halloween a safer event for downtown Madison.

“The idea that the city obviously chose instead was that if you can’t end it, mend it and really embrace this annual tradition,” Verveer said.

In 2006, city officials addressed the prob-lem by creating Freakfest, an official fenced-in, ticketed and policed event that includ-ed musical entertainment and food. They hoped the new event would improve the safety of the holiday, recover some portion of the public cost, and provide an alternative to dangerous over-consumption of alcohol.

Cieslewicz called Freakfest’s first year a “fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants opera-tion,” with unorganized ticketing and an unpaid band that was booked last-minute by a UW-Madison student, current Ald. Bridget Maniaci, District 2, who interned in

Cieslewicz’s office at the time.Maniaci, who used to work for The Daily

Cardinal’s Arts Desk, said she was familiar with bands in the Madison area and booked nine of the 10 bands for the event.

After the first year of Freakfest went smoothly, Frank Productions, a concert promotion company, quickly made a pitch to the city to take over production of the newly-formed event and with its influence, it began to take shape as the Freakfest students celebrate today.

According to Frank Productions promoter Charlie Goldstone, the company’s experience with Freakfest has been overwhelmingly pos-itive and successful at turning a negative night for the city into a positive one.

“We haven’t seen any mass riots since we started organizing the event six years ago.” Goldstone said. “The level of arrests has gone down each year so the cost to the city for police overtime has decreased as well.”

But Maniaci said she is “frustrated” none of excess revenue from ticketing goes to the city, but rather to the production company. She said she would like to see the city use some of the money to further promote the arts in Madison.

As Freakfest has evolved over the years, there has been some difficulty with attracting relevant bands to draw in the student crowd, according to Verveer. With headliners like O.A.R., Third Eye Blind and OK GO, many students have opted to avoid Freakfest in

favor of other parties.But Verveer said this year’s headliners,

Mac Miller and Big Gigantic, are expected to draw some of the biggest crowds yet because of their popularity with students.

The magnitude of the musical enter-tainment this year has raised concerns that increased attendance and excitement could result in more arrests, but Verveer said he is excited for Freakfest’s turnout this year.

“It has been frankly frustrating to hear over the years that UW students are not excited about Freakfest or that the talent involved is something that isn’t very popu-lar,” Verveer said. “I really am excited that more students than in prior years will take advantage of Freakfest.”

Verveer said the city expects crowds of up to 45,000 people, the fire marshal’s legal limit, are expected to turn out for Freakfest this year, and the city is thrilled they have managed to maintain Madison’s role as a Halloween desti-nation while cutting back on crime.

“I really don’t expect any problems,” Verveer said. “The police are going to be well-prepared for this.”

As for the origin of Madison’s near-mythical reputation as a Halloween mecca, Cieslewicz is as stumped as the rest of us.

“Who can explain culture or what becomes cool in any given moment?” he said. “For some reason it is. And actually right now it’s a good thing; it’s a source of pride for the city.”

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. I’m not big on scary movies—too many nightmares—but who doesn’t love candy and dressing up in fun, creative costumes? However, picking out the perfect costume can not only take time, but pre-packaged costumes can get pricey. These are some fun, easy Halloween costumes you can recreate using items you already have or can get at a low price at places like Ragstock or Goodwill on State Street.

costume is not only recog-nizable, but also easy to put together. You’ll need skinny cargo pants, a black T-shirt, boots and a dark-colored parka for the basic Katniss look. Head over to Goodwill or a toy store to pick up a bow and arrow set to complete the look. If you’re feeling ambitious, feel free to create or purchase a Mockingjay pin. Don’t forget the braid! In the cold Wisconsin weather, this costume will not only be warm, but comfortable.

Dobby from “Harry Potter”The Harry Potter books and

movies may have stopped, but it’s never too late to show love for one of the biggest and most-loved fantasy series of all time. You could easily throw on a cape and grab a stick for a wand, but where’s the creativity in that? Dobby, a house elf, makes for an easy costume. If you’re petite or willing to rock a fierce look, just cut holes in an old pillow-case for your arms and head.

Otherwise wear a light-colored dress. To truly transform, cut ears out of felt and glue then to a headband. Don’t forget the mismatched socks!

“Risky Business”Arguably the easiest costume of

all is to recreate Tom Cruise’s infa-mous look from “Risky Business.” You’ll just need an oversized but-ton-up shirt, preferably in white, white crew socks and a pair of wayfarer style sunglasses—bonus points if they’re Ray-Bans. Feel free to rock a pair of tighty whities if you’re willing, otherwise just a pair of shorts works, too!

Psy from “Gangnam Style”Be trendy this year with a

Psy costume. It’s a great cos-

tume because you most likely have these pieces on hand or can find them for a reasonable price at places like Ragstock. To create this look you’ll need black pants, a blazer (preferably some shade of blue), a white button-up shirt and a black bowtie. Finish off this look with a pair of black sunglasses.

Justin BieberNot only is dressing like pop

star Justin Bieber a hilarious costume, it’s a comfy costume fit for anyone with a great sense of humor. Wear tighter-fitting denim jeans, bright sneakers and a bright shirt to start it off. Then throw on a zip-up hoodie and a flat-billed baseball cap. If you’re willing to go for the

ultimate Bieber look, find a cheap wig to create Justin’s signature swoopy bang look to wear underneath the hate. Ladies, feel free to skip the wig, get creative and try to move your hair around to cre-ate the signature hairdo.

Paulie Bleeker from “Juno”“Juno” came out a couple

years ago, but Paulie Bleeker’s look will always stand out. It’s a simple costume consist-ing of a maroon shirt, running shorts (preferably yellow), high socks and running sneakers. Don’t forget about sweatbands to complete the look. Feeling like it’s not enough clothing for the chilly weather? A hooded sweatshirt will fit right in.

Marty McFly from “Back to the Future”

Ready for an easy costume, guys? To become the 1980s teen-age hero Marty McFly from “Back to the Future,” played by Michael J. Fox, you’ll need two key pieces—a denim jacket or button-up and an orange puffy vest. These items can easily be found at thrift stores or even in a friend’s closet. Throw on your best pair of acid-wash jeans and white sneakers to complete the look. This is not only a creative costume, but also one you can easily add layers to keep warm at Freakfest.

Ron SwansonEveryone’s favorite libertar-

ian is the perfect inexpensive, last-minute costume to throw together that could still get you a few laughs walking down State Street. All you need is a mustache, a combover, a flan-nel shirt and a hatred for the government. And don’t forget to carry around a two-pound steak and some Tammy 2 repel-lent; you never know if she may be lingering in the crowd ready to drive you crazy enough to get cornrows. Again.

A UW-Madison freshman Put on those college sweats

(as in, sweatshirt AND sweat-pants) and drench yourself in axe cologne for this simple-but-funny costume. Be sure to carry around a map and wear a lanyard around your neck with your ID, keys and credit cards. Another benefit: The sweats will keep you warm through-out the chilly October night, and you could prove a point to first-years who roam the Madison campus.

While Freakfest was plagued with riots and violence in 2006, officials say the city’s annual Halloween bash is on its way to becoming as safe as any other weekend night on State Street.

Madison Police Department Lt. Dave McCaw said because of the police presence, Freakfest is “more safe than any other day on State Street, any other Saturday night,” which is a major transfor-mation from what the street used to look like on Halloween.

Before former mayor Dave Cieslewicz implement-ed Freakfest, McCaw said Halloween on State Street was a dangerous event with riots, loot-ing and overcrowding.

“It’s certainly [showed] a downward trend of Halloween being some unsafe event,” McCaw said. “If anything, it’s becoming a much safer event.”

In 2011, the Madison Police Department arrested and cited 32 people, which was a decrease from 2010 when there were 43 arrests and citations, according to MPD spokesperson Joel DeSpain.

While Halloween on State Street may be safer, there are still arrests and citations for open intoxicants, violations of the city’s glass ban on State Street, and disorderly conduct.

McCaw said special events team officers are trained to rec-ognize possible problematic sce-narios early on, which is key to maintaining a safe atmosphere on State Street.

“The issue that we stress with our special events team is

detecting these things before they become arrests,” McCaw said.

When looking for arrests at Freakfest, special events team officers are aware of incidents that will lead to violence, such as people throwing objects, fight-ing in the streets, and behavior that could be classified as sexual assault, as well as destruction to private property.

Police also keep an eye out for people who put themselves in danger, such as an intoxicat-ed individual who is passed out alone in the streets, according to McCaw. But McCaw said police rarely cite an individual who is extremely inebriated.

“It’s a rare beast that I’ve ever put a ticket in a passed-out per-son’s pocket on the way to the ambulance,” McCaw said.

Although many students equate Freakfest with the annu-al Mifflin Street Block Party held in May, Ald. Scott Resnick, District 8, said Freakfest’s focus on live entertainment and not on alcohol consumption greatly differentiates it from the Mifflin Street Block Party, at which police reported 393 arrests and citations in 2012.

“One of the biggest issues is that the current [Mifflin block party] is perceived as only alco-hol, whereas for Freakfest...there is a lot more going on than just drinking.”

McCaw also said the lack of alcohol at Freakfest makes it an easier event to monitor.

“The [police] department’s opinion is that the alcohol-fueled events are the ones we can’t con-trol,” McCaw said.

D on’t you hate when writers or columnists will, like, take advan-

tage of a conveniently placed holiday or celebration in order to get an easy column written? Like, say, if a film columnist were to write about scary mov-ies close to Halloween? Isn’t that the worst?

Anyways, scary movies. They honestly aren’t, on the whole, the best movies ever made. In fact, by and large they suck. Especially since the dawn of the slasher film, they’ve become increasingly predict-able, formulaic and generally dull to watch.

So, rather than dealing with them (they’re not all bad, but probably 90 percent of them are), I’d much rather partake in movies that are technically horror films but spend as much time dissecting and destroying the conventions and clichés of the genre as they do their sup-porting characters.

Some of the earliest and greatest horror films of all time were the Universal Monsters Movies; you know, “The Wolfman,” “Dracula,” “Frankenstein.” These were affectionately parodied/paid tribute to in “An American Werewolf in London,” which managed to openly mock the traditional themes and tropes of the films while still emulat-ing and, eventually, becoming a modern take on them. From the very predictable love interest to the tragic hero, it was essen-

tially an update on the classic formula of the early monster movie genre, albeit with far more graphic violence and a good amount of black humor thrown in.

Of course, as it’s frequently an affectionate parody, a lot of the humor in “American Werewolf ” is aimed at the mov-ies that inspired it. Take the disturbingly hilarious scene in which the victims of the tragic werewolf hero are cheerfully suggesting ways that he could

commit suicide, when David asks if he has to use a silver bullet and his (dead) friend Jack flippantly replies with, “Oh, be serious, David.”

This all takes place in a porno theater in Piccadilly Circus, by the way. So, yeah, it’s a very dark comedy, but also a reverent parody that admires the classics as it mocks them.

Less reverent is the Joss Whedon-written and produced film “Cabin in the Woods.” It too mocks a sub-genre of horror films, specifically slasher mov-ies; however, where “American Werewolf ” was a loving spoof on its predecessors, “Cabin in the Woods” pretty viciously mocks the “paint-by-numbers”-style films it’s rallying against.

The movie attempts to criti-cize slasher films for being for-mulaic and predictable to the point of being ritualistic, and it does this by, well, offering the idea that literally every other slasher movie has been part of an actual ritual sacrifice to appease the audience, which is represented by giant, ancient, bloodthirsty gods trapped beneath the earth. And it just gets crazier from there.

It lays out and then system-atically slaughters every ste-reotype and standard of the slasher genre. It builds all the typical character types into the ritual: the jock, the fool/stoner, the whore, the scholar and, of course, the virgin.

Granted, it then subverts this trope, brilliantly and hilariously, but it first calls every example of this type of film out for following what are at this point ancient conventions and traditions.

Not only this, but the mon-sters themselves are shown as instruments of an organization overseeing the whole thing, reducing these films to a proce-dure and a formula. I’m fight-ing really hard to not give too much away, but it’s just such a perfect deconstruction of bad teen horror movies; you all should go see it now. It involves a killer unicorn if you needed more incentive.

Of course, “Cabin in the Woods” got it’s clichéd, over-done premise of “teenagers in a cabin in the woods find some-thing in the basement that acti-vates some evil force or another that then tries to kill them” directly from the king/presi-dent/prime minister/supreme leader of all deconstructionist

horror films, the most over the top awesome and silliest of all the over-the-top, silly parodies: “The Evil Dead” trilogy. It sits head and shoulders above any-thing else I could mention in the same vein.

The first entry in the trilogy was a pretty straight-ahead, ridiculously low-budget horror film that took itself fairly seri-ously. However, in response to a mostly lukewarm reaction to the original film, “The Evil Dead 2” and the third film, “Army of Darkness,” took everything about awful B-horror movies and cranked it up past 11.

First of all, they added buck-ets and geysers of blood to the point that they tried chang-ing it to every color they could think of, and yet the MPAA still wouldn’t give them less than an NC-17 rating. So, they just released it unrated.

Then they threw in an abso-lutely ridiculous protagonist in Ash Williams. Apparently the first film shattered his sanity to the point that he became con-vinced/aware that he was the main character in a B-horror film, and he turns into a William Shatner-level ham onscreen, shooting off painful one-liners left and right throughout the second and third films.

He also becomes ridiculously genre-savvy, knowing to chop up the zombie he just killed and bury its parts separately rather than leave it lying in his basement, and he frequently exploits the laws of scary movies to his benefit.

At one point, Ash loses his hand and, naturally, replaces it with a chainsaw. But not before his hand becomes reanimated and attacks him, forcing him to trap it under a bucket using a stack of books. Atop the stack? “A Farewell to Arms.” And of course there’s the legendary line about the “boom-stick.” They’re some of the most entertaining movies ever. And they got turned into a musical.

So what have we learned? Horror movies now suck to the point that the only way to make a good one is to be self-aware, mocking and ironic, much like writing about horror mov-ies on Halloween sucks to the point that… well yeah. Happy Halloween, and please don’t throw up on me this weekend.

B adger gamedays are one of the most treasured tradi-tions here at UW-Madison,

but it has come to this editorial board’s attention that the sudden enforcement of a seating policy may be threatening students’ abil-ity to enjoy the games.

Over the past several weeks, The Daily Cardinal has heard a number of complaints from stu-dents saying they were ejected from Badger football games for sitting in the wrong seat, even if they were sitting in the correct

section. These ejections were not based on behavioral or drinking violations, but solely due to stu-dents sitting in the incorrect seat.

We believe enforcing a policy where students must sit in their assigned seat is unrealistic and unfair to students.

While the official policy does in fact say students must sit in their assigned seats, police have never enforced this policy until this year. Police have only required students to sit in their assigned section, not specifically their assigned seat.

Therefore, it is unfair to students to abruptly begin ejecting stu-dents for a policy that most don’t even know exists.

We understand police are concerned about overcrowding in the Camp Randall student section. However, continuing to enforce students sitting in their assigned section can reduce overcrowding sufficiently. First-come-first-serve seating within sections is a fair policy.

If there is a problem with over-crowding, event staff should figure out a more efficient way to make sure student traffic flows smooth-ly. We know UWPD increased its police force at Camp Randall for this year’s football games, but we were under the impression that this increase was necessary to deal with behavioral and alcohol related incidents, not to enforce an unnecessary and unknown rule.

Perhaps what bothers us most is that students had no idea UWPD began enforcing the official seating policy until the

ejections began. UWPD should have taken the correct steps to warn students of the upcom-ing policy enforcement months before the football season began. They should have sent emails to students, asked the university to post a news release about the pol-icy, or used any number of other techniques to alert students. Students should not suffer the consequences for UWPD’s utter absence of communication.

Furthermore, there seems to be inconsistency between the UWPD and event staff that work at Camp Randall on what the cor-rect policy is. One of the com-plaints came from a student who said the event staff lead her to a seat that was not hers because her seat was occupied, which then led to her being ejected from the game by a UWPD officer. This student was removed from a Badger game for doing nothing more than sitting where event staff told her to sit.

There also seems to be incon-

sistency within the UWPD on what the correct rule is. UWPD Sgt. Aaron Chapin said, “If you’re not in that seat, you have the potential to be kicked out,” according to an Oct. 18 article in The Daily Cardinal. This is con-sistent with an email the athletic department sent to students Oct. 18, a month and a half after the season began, that said students are subject to removal for sitting in the wrong seat.

Yet at an Associated Students of Madison Town Hall safety meeting on Oct. 10, when asked if students are subject to removal for sitting in the wrong seat or just the wrong section, a UWPD officer responded “just the wrong section.”

We hope this miscommunica-tion can be resolved efficiently and responsibly, and we expect UWPD to take the correct steps in the future to inform students of policy changes.

By Parker Gabrielthe daily cardinal

As different variations of the spread offense stretch to all corners of the college football landscape, the Wisconsin offense has the luxury of tuning out all the change.

Russell Wilson threw 33 touch-downs a year ago, and junior run-ning back James White lined up at quarterback in the Badgers’ version of the Wildcat offense—dubbed “Barge”—last week, but the offen-sive philosophy is still obvious: Use big people and run the football.

Far more changes come on the defensive side of the football, where combating spread offenses in the Big Ten—long a bastion of smash-mouth football—has become the norm.

That will not be the case Saturday when Michigan State comes calling at Camp Randall Stadium, however. The simi-larities between the two teams become more and more apparent as fewer and fewer teams in their league play the traditional breed of power football.

“It’s completely flipped,” UW co-defensive coordinator and defensive line coach Charlie Partridge said. “It’s just sort of the nature of the way the game’s going right now. This really is the first style of offense like this that we’ve seen besides playing against our offense every day.”

Junior defensive tackle Beau Allen said Oregon State lined up like a traditional team at times in their Sept. 8 matchup, but still predicated their offense on a quick passing game. In the Badgers 10-7 loss, sophomore quarterback Sean Mannion threw the ball 47 times.

For the Spartans, junior quar-terback Andrew Maxwell has attempted over 31 passes in each of the last four games, but the offense still starts on the ground.

“They’ve got a strong offen-sive line like they usually do, they’ve got big tight ends and [junior running back Le’Veon] Bell is a special player, obvious-ly,” Partridge said.

Bell, listed at 244 lbs., leads the Big Ten with 226 carries (No. 2 in the NCAA) and is second in the league in yards (984). Partridge was quick to point out that size is not the only asset the decorated back has at his disposal.

“People look at him and I think that’s what they see, but when you put the film on and really watch him, he’s very elu-sive,” he said. “He’s got quick moves, he’s got a nice spin move. I think just a big back isn’t going to normally be as successful as he is. He’s got a lot more than that.”

Unlike the Badgers’ multi-back

rushing attack, Bell has essential-ly carried the entire load for the Spartans. Senior Larry Caper is the team’s second-leading rusher and has just 85 yards on 16 car-ries. Sophomore Nick Hill has one of the team’s nine rushing touch-downs and Bell has the rest.

“He’s the ultimate match-up, the ultimate test,” red-shirt junior linebacker Ethan Armstrong said. “As a competi-tor, you really look forward to playing against somebody like

that because you get to see where you’re at personally. You have to bring your A game against somebody like him.”

A year ago, UW and Michigan State combined for 68 points in MSU’s October victory in East Lansing, Mich. , and 81 points in UW’s win in the Big Ten Championship game in Indianapolis.

This year, a low-scoring game would not be surprising. The Spartans have scored 30 points

just twice this season and are aver-aging 18.3 points per game in con-ference play. The Badgers offense has been much better of late, but Michigan State boasts the league’s top scoring defense, allowing just 15.2 points per contest.

“We’re ready for a Big Ten, pro-style game,” redshirt junior middle linebacker Chris Borland said. “Powers and zones and stretches, three yards and a cloud of dust, all that stuff they always say. That’s how we like to play.”

‘Team Abby’ setting tone for receivers

By Ted Porath

N o matter what sport they play, it is important for players on a team to

have trust in one another. It is especially the case in football, in which all 11 players must be on the same page at the same time to be successful.

One way to build that trust is for players to build a strong sense of community with one another, almost like a family.

This is one thing that new Wisconsin wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni has stressed this season to his Badger wide receiving corps.

Azzanni was previously the offensive coordinator for Western Kentucky, but he served under Urban Meyer both at Bowling Green and Florida, so he knows what it takes to win big-time col-lege football games.

He feels it is essential for the wide receivers to be a tight group that feeds off one another. His philosophy seems to be rubbing off on the Badger wide receivers.

“Without a doubt [we have a close relationship],” redshirt sophomore wide receiver Chase Hammond said. “Coach Z [Azzanni] is the one

to credit for that. He’s brought us together. He’s recommended we do events together. We just listen to what he says and it’s turned out really well for us.”

By working hard together in the off-season as well as doing other team-building events, the wide receiver corps has developed a close-knit family structure—a band of brothers, if you will.

“We all pick on each other in a brother-type fashion and I think that I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Hammond said. “I love this group of guys and I would do anything for them. All in all, I’d say the room is about as close as it can get and we all really love it.”

While Azzanni has brought the brother-like mindset to the Badger wide receiving corps, the glue that holds together this strong bond between the Wisconsin receivers seems to be redshirt junior wide receiver Jared Abbrederis, who has assumed a leadership role with this group.

“He’s a great mentor. He’s a good leader,” Azzanni said. “He leads by example—his work ethic, how he watches film, how he prepares for the

game. He’s a calming voice—he’s been through a lot and he’s an even better person than he is a football player, so that’s a good example for those guys too. So, yeah, they go as he goes.”

The way Abbrederis goes about his business, his personal-ity and the way he makes plays on the field has caused the rest of the wide receivers to look up to him and consider him the big brother of the group.

They have been inspired by Abbrederis and want to dupli-cate his success—so much so that this wide receiving corps has pro-claimed itself “Team Abby.”

“We started calling ourselves that because we really like him and his work ethic and what he does,”

Hammond said. “We just want to emulate it and get out on the field and make plays like he does.”

Despite their strong admiration for their big brother and their desire to be like him, the rest of Team Abby has been unable to make big plays down the field this season.

Abbrederis has caught 33 passes for 627 yards and five touchdowns, whereas the Badgers other receivers have combined for 30 catches for 306 yards and no touchdowns.

While these numbers do not appear to be a formula for suc-cess, they should not be a big cause for concern. This is because the rest of Team Abby do not have to be game changers; they just have to contribute.

“[Redshirt freshman] Jordan Fredrick, [redshirt sophomore]Chase Hammond, [sophomore]Kenzel Doe, [redshirt junior] Jeff Duckworth and [redshirt freshman] A.J. Jordan, all those guys are taking pressure off [Abbrederis] and working their butts off,” Azzanni said. “They don’t have to go out and be Randy Moss, they just need out and catch some balls just to take a

little pressure off him and they’re working every day to do that.”

The Badgers might not have a defined No. 2 guy who can take the top off the defense like Abbrederis, but what they do have is a tight-knit group of capable wide receiv-ers who are willing to do the little things to help their team win and help their big brother succeed.

“You want a No. 2 wide receiv-er, but if you’ve got three, four, five, six wide receivers that can go out there and play and catch the ball and do everything that’s coached, then why not have five, six players,” Doe said. “We don’t get as many deep balls, but we’re contributing. You might see Abby go deep for a touchdown, but the plays before that Jordan or I or Chase might have made led to Abby catching that ball.”

This group of wide receiv-ers might not be the best the Wisconsin Badgers have ever had, but they are a tight-knit family with strong leadership that is will-ing to do anything for one another.

These ingredients can only mean good things for the Badger receiving corps the rest of this season and in years to come.

The Daily Cardinal’s Sports Tweets of the week: 10/18-10/24We spend an inordinate amount of time on Twitter, so we’ve decided to justify that wasted time by compiling the top three tweets from each week. They might be funny, they might be motivational and they might be none of the above, but as long as the tweets come from a past or current Badger player or coach, they pass the only prerequisite to make our list.

What do you think of this week’s top tweets? Is there another 140-character dispatch of goodness that should replace one of the tweets on this list? Tweet at us @Cardinal_Sports with your favorite tweets!

HOMECOMING 2012

GrEy SattErfIElD/Cardinal file photo

redshirt freshman quarterback Joel Stave has been anything but flashy since taking over as starter but has done what matters most: winning and keeping the team close

Stave, a redshirt freshman quarterback from Greenfield, Wis., joined the Badgers as a walk-on last spring, turning down an enticing scholarship offer from Western Michigan to take a chance on Wisconsin. In high school, he was rated 110th in the nation in the annual quarterback recruitment rank-ings, and he placed only 17th in the state of Wisconsin. To most, the probability of Stave ever playing for the Badgers seemed slim. But he never counted himself out.

“It was obviously a dream of mine,” Stave said. “If some-one would have told me two years ago in high school that in two years I’d be playing for Wisconsin, I would have been pretty fired up about it.”

Stave was a long shot for the role of starting quarter-back entering the 2012 season. Wisconsin’s coaching staff faced the momentous challenge of filling the hole left by Russell Wilson, who was drafted into the NFL following his gradu-

ation. Redshirt junior transfer Danny O’Brien appeared to be the answer. While playing for the University of Maryland, he racked up over 4,000 yards, became the fifth overall leader in career passing touchdowns, and threw for the eighth-most completions in school history. O’Brien started the first three games for Wisconsin, but Stave got his first opportunity at half-time versus Utah State.

Heading out to start the third quarter with the Badgers down 14-3, Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema replaced O’Brien with Stave. Though his impact on the comeback was minimal, Stave and the Badgers went on to score 13 unanswered points to beat Utah State.

Since then, Stave has started every game.

“I think my greatest accom-plishment so far has been that I’ve been able to win four of the five games that I’ve started,” Stave said. “As a quarterback, it’s your job to put your team in the best position to win, and I

think I’ve been able to do that.”Stave’s play, though some-

what overshadowed by the continually dominant perfor-mances by senior running back Montee Ball and junior running back James White, hasn’t gone unnoticed. Offensive coordi-nator Matt Canada has been impressed with Stave’s perfor-mance in such a demanding role.

“He’s working all the time to continue to learn the game,” Canada said. “He’s still learning all the things that come with the position. So far he’s playing pretty well.”

When Stave’s individual stats stand alone, they are what you would expect from an inex-perienced quarterback. He’s thrown 962 yards, had a hand in five touchdowns, and com-pleted 58.1 percent of his pass-es throughout his five starts. Critics may say his numbers are average at best, but the Badgers are 4-1 overall and 3-1 in the conference with him as their quarterback, which renders the criticism meaningless.

“Critics will say what they’ve gotta say, but I’m not too wor-ried about it,” Stave said. “I’m only worried about how I feel about myself, how my coaches and teammates feel about me.”

In addition to keeping his

head on the field, Stave tries his best to stay balanced off the field as well. In high school, he ran track and field and played basketball and, of course, foot-ball. He was also a member of the National Honors Society, and he made the honor roll all four years. As if that wasn’t enough, Stave also played guitar and piano, which he’s continued to do in college. Last year, Stave performed Train’s “Drops of Jupiter” at the 2012 Buckingham Awards, proving that football is not his only strength.

“I put a lot of time into foot-ball, but if it was the only thing I worried about, I’d get burned out kind of quick,” Stave admitted. “Having other things to do, like being able to hang out with my friends or play music or what-

ever I have to do to get away from it all is really helpful.”

There’s no doubt that Stave and the Badgers have continued to improve with time. However, in the coming weeks, the sched-ule will get increasingly harder for Wisconsin. The Homecoming game this Saturday has them pinned against Michigan State, whose defense is ranked fifth in the nation. Facing a team that tackles well will force Wisconsin, a team that relies heavily on its rushing game, to revise its strategy. Extra pres-sure will fall on Stave to throw the ball accurately and quickly.

“We’ve certainly got a tremen-dous challenge ahead of us,” Canada said of Michigan State.

Stave echoed his statement. “This is going to be a big game for us.”

No matter the outcome on Saturday, no one can deny that Stave has been efficient thus far in the role he’s been given. As a red-shirt freshman, he still has a lot to learn and plenty of improvements to make. Through the pressure and scrutiny, Stave has remained con-sistent, and he continues to show his desire and gratitude every day.

“It’s something that I real-ly wanted. To be given this opportunity…” Stave said. “It’s been really fun for me.”

from walk-on to starter, Stave impressesD espite everything Joel Stave has accomplished

this season, it’s safe to say that no one–except maybe Stave himself–ever saw it coming.

1BADGERS SANS PRETTY

GUYSWisconsin rolled out a brand new

offensive set last Saturday against Minnesota, called the “barge.”

This formation features no wide receivers, no fullback and no quarterback–or, as head coach Bret Bielema calls them, the “pretty guys.” Taking direct snaps with seven lineman, two tight ends and another back blocking for him, junior running back James White was able to gain 175 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries, eclipsing his senior counterpart Montee Ball’s rushing total of 166 yards on 24 attempts.

According to White, he spent some time running this package in high school, where his coaches and teammates endearingly referred to it as the “wildWhite” forma-tion. After the success White and Ball saw with the “barge” against Minnesota, expect to see some more direct snaps on homecoming day as well.

2BATTLE IN THE TRENCHESMichigan State’s defensive line

has the fourth-fewest sacks in the nation —down to six so far after a stunning 45 last season—but despite this seemingly paltry statis-tic, they are playing extremely well in every other defensive column.

They are ranked 11th nation-ally in points allowed—averag-ing roughly one touchdown a gameand stand at fifth in the nation for rushing yards allowed. This weekend’s game may just come down to whether or not the Badgers can establish their run game early on, which will open up the playbook to allow for a more effective play-action pass–something Wisconsin has been running well so far this season.

Wisconsin saw problems with its offensive line early this season, but after a mid-season coaching change and dealing with injured redshirt senior Rick Wagner, Wisconsin looks ready to perform to the level of Michigan State’s standout defensive line.

3TEAM ABBY—APTLY PUT

Redshirt junior wide receiv-er Jared Abbrederis started his Wisconsin career as a walk-on and has blossomed into the team’s top producer, catching 33 passes for 627 yards and five touchdowns so far this season. The rest of the Badgers’ receiving corps, however, haven’t seen the same level of suc-cess. Abbrederis has more receiv-ing yards than the next six wide outs on the depth chart combined, and, not surprisingly, has seen extra coverage this year because of it.

The Michigan State secondary leads the Big Ten in interceptions and passing yards allowed, and is surely going to show Abbrederis added attention on Saturday, know-ing that he accounts for roughly half of the Badgers total receiving

yards. Wisconsin needs to establish another connection through the air if they want to take some of the pressure off the offensive line and running backs.

4MICHIGAN STATE’S

STRUGGLING OFFENSEAs much as Michigan State’s

defense has shone recently, the offense has floundered this year, dropping to 109th nationally and 11th in the Big Ten in points scored.

This has been the deciding fac-tor for Michigan State in many of its games this year. So far, the Spartans have lost three conference games by exactly six points, while scoring under 20 points in each. To make matters worse, their offense had an 18-play, 90 yard fourth-quarter drive stifled at the one yard line in a 12-10 loss against Michigan.

While the Spartans have seen their fair share of heart-break this year, there were signs of improvement last week with the receiving corps going 16-for-21 under pressure after spending the early part of the season afflicted by dropped passes. Watch for improvement from the Michigan State offense with the quality of both teams’ defenses, this weekend’s game could easily come down to a few stray points.

5HOME FIELD ADVANTAGEIn case a Badger faithful hasn’t

informed you yet, the Badgers are undefeated at Camp Randall for the last two seasons, extending their home winning streak to 21 games thus far. This year Madison was ranked “America’s Best College Football Town” by USA Today, while recent initiatives by UW offi-cials to get students to arrive for kickoff have seen mild success.

The atmosphere at Camp Randall has been akin to a force of nature of late, and this week-end is Homecoming to boot. Factor in the heartbreaking last-second loss to Michigan State last year, and the fans can surely expect a packed house and an inspired Badger team to take the field on Saturday.

ldailycardinal.com Wisconsin vs. Michigan State B3

By Rex SheildThe Daily CarDinal

Through nine weeks of the college football season, there has been nothing short of thrilling upsets, high-flying offensive performances, shut-down defensive performances and everything in between. This week’s slate of games should not be any different as teams look to pull ahead of the competition and position them-selves for a conference title crown and, ultimately, a spot in the BCS title game.

No. 5 Notre Dame at No. 8 Oklahoma

The Fighting Irish are once again among the nation’s elite and have their ranking and swarm-ing defense to prove it. Led by All-American linebacker and team captain Manti Te’o, Notre Dame’s defense ranks sixth in the nation in total defense, allowing an average of 280.71 yards per con-test, and ranks second in scor-ing defense, allowing a mere 9.43 points per game.

While their defense has established themselves as top-tier, it has not faced an offense quite like the one they will see Saturday in Norman.

Despite an early conference loss against Kansas State, the Oklahoma offense has been electric in its past three games, averaging a whop-ping 52 points per game, due to, in large part, the productivity of running back Damien Williams (552 yards, 7.5 YPC, 7 TDs) and star senior quarterback Landry Jones (1,653 yards, 62.9%, 12 TDs). While the Notre Dame offense has been inconsistent, especially at the quar-

terback position, the resurgence of its running game with the trio of Theo Riddick, Cierre Wood and George Atkinson III, who have combined for 1,357 rushing yards, is an aspect to keep an eye out for against a solid Sooners defense.

ESPN College GameDay will be in town, so the energy in Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium should provide for a must-watch game. The matchup will be the first time since 1999 that both teams are ranked in the top ten.

No. 3 Florida vs No. 12 Georgia

Known as the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, this SEC match-up in Jacksonville is a pivotal game for the SEC East standings, as both squads are in the top two of the division and position-ing themselves for a trip to the Georgia Dome for the confer-ence championship game.

In head coach Will Muschamp’s second year at the healm, Florida rose to the top of the BCS rankings in head coach on the backs of their speedy defense, which is tied for sev-enth in total defense, allowing an average of 282 yards per contest. Despite being unde-feated, Florida’s offense has been unimpressive thus far, especially last week at home against South Carolina, where they amounted to a lousy 183 yards, despite dominating the Gamecocks by 33 points. Even more revealing about the offen-sive struggles is the fact that quarterback Jeff Driskel has thrown for less than 100 yards in three straight weeks.

If this showdown is a must-win for either squad, it sides with Georgia. After getting blown out by South Carolina a couple weeks ago and barely squeaking by Kentucky last weekend, the Bulldogs are in need of a spark to boost their momentum as a key stretch of conference games awaits them.

While their defense has struggled mightily, giving up at least 20 points per game, the playmaking ability of quarter-back Aaron Murray and the multitude of running backs that the offense features should give Georgia a chance at pulling out the upset.

No. 20 Michigan at Nebraska

While the Leaders Division race is almost certainly locked up for Wisconsin due to Penn State and Ohio State being ineli-gible for postseason play, the Legends Division race is not as certain. However, the matchup in Lincoln should establish a favorite to represent the divi-sion in Indianapolis, as both teams are neck-in-neck in the division standings.

Both offenses are almost identical, as they feature spread-style quarterbacks with Taylor Martinez of Nebraska and Denard Robinson of Michigan, yet the Cornhuskers sport a more well-rounded attack on offense, averaging 279 yards on the ground and 41.6 points per game compared to Michigan’s 222.6 yards and 30.7 points. On the flip side, Michigan’s defense is coming off one of its better perfor-

mances of the season in a 12-10 victory against Michigan State, as they held standout running back Le’Veon Bell in check.

For the season, the Wolverines have been stout on the defensive side of the ball after the debacle against Alabama in week one, giv-ing up 16.4 points per game, while Nebraska has been vastly inconsistent, giving up an aver-age of 27.7 points.

The atmosphere in Lincoln will be electric and cha-otic as usual, so expect the Cornhuskers to feed off that energy in a hard-fought contest against the Wolverines. Finally, this matchup has somewhat of historical significance as they have not faced off in Memorial Stadium since 1911, resulting in a 6-6 tie.
