Personnel foul Poor leadership within athletics alleged cause of athletic director’s resignation

By Jeremy Lubus and Zack Garhart Sports Editor and Staff Writer sports@uwmpost.com

UW-Milwaukee administrators were scrambling Monday morning following former Athletic Director Rick Costello’s decision to resign late Sunday night.

Vice Chancellor of Media Relations Tom Luljak strongly urged department members not to talk to the press about the resignation with some anonymous sources expressing fear of retribution if they did. The resignation took place during an investigation of the department conducted by thirdparty company Iconic.

Luljak did not say who is taking over the position of interim athletics director, but Student Association Vice President Sana Khan said that Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Michael Laliberte is currently in charge of the department.

Despite the media blackout, information has begun to leak out about the troubling circumstances enveloping the sports program at UWM. A former athletics department employee, who asked for anonymity discussing

Rick Costello poses for a photo in September with Speaker of the Senate Rick Banks (middle) and LeVar Ridgeway, Assistant Athletic Director - Marketing. the matter, said that Costello’s handling of player complaints against former men’s soccer coach Chris Whalley was the last straw for UWM administration.

Another former employee said that Costello was in over his head and was simply not a good fit for the university.

“Sports at UWM have never been about bricks and mortar” the source said, referring to Costello’s push for a new sports arena on

campus. “It’s always been about blood and flesh and there are a lot of gaps in the blood and flesh these days.”

Costello was hired in December 2010 and earned a yearly salary of $201,000. He was the third athletic director within a four year span.

Sources alleged that Costello’s resignation followed almost a year of mismanagement and fiscal instability.

“I have just heard that Costello made promises coming into this position, which was a year ago, and he has yet to fulfill any of them,” a former basketball player said.

“He was supposed to be a fundraising guy, and the athletic department has lost money instead of gained it.”

The athletic department has had a messy

vironment within the athletics department.

Emails sent or received by Costello regarding former men’s soccer coach Chris Whalley and assistant coach Ben Shepherd, requested by the Post on March 6 under Wisconsin’s public records law, have also not been received.

Although the statutes governing public records do not specify a specific timeframe for compliance, the Department of Justice recommends fulfilling simple requests within 10 business days.

Amy Watson, UWM’s records custodian, said the information could not be provided sooner because an unprecedented number of requests have been submitted this semester and the legal complexity of the request.

Speaker of the Senate Rick Banks, who has worked closely with the athletics department, has also requested the climate survey.

As of press time, Banks’ has received neither the survey nor acknowledgment that his request was accepted.

According to Wis. Stat. §§ 19.31-19.39, “all persons are entitled to the greatest possible information regarding the affairs of government and the official acts of those officers and employees who represent them.”

The law’s finer aspects – what constitutes a record, which is an authority, who is a requester – are nuanced, but the law is meant “to be construed in every instance with a pre-

sumption of complete public access.”

“The denial of public access generally is contrary to the public interest, and only in an exceptional case may access be denied,” reads statute 19.31.

The UWM Post first sent a formal request to Watson on March 6, requesting all of Costello’s emails from November 2011 and February 2012 that mentioned Whalley or Shepherd, including attachments. Watson confirmed receiving the request that same day.

On March 23, she said via email that the request would incur a $69 to $139 processing fee, based on the time it would take Costello to gather all the pertinent emails and Watson to redact sensitive information.

The request was narrowed down on March 25 to mitigate the costs. The Post asked for emails from November but only the last week of February, a request Watson said incurred no cost on April 3.

On April 6, Watson said she received the emails from Costello and anticipated the review process would be finished the next week.

The Post requested an update on the process on April 12, and Watson said she was not finished with the review process and that she, “may be required to provide statutory notice to the subject of the emails as required by Wis. Stat. 19.356(2)(a)(1).”

According to Wis. Stat. 19.356, an authority must provide notice to an employee

that information regarding a disciplinary investigation is being requested for release. That employee then has 10 days to seek a court injunction barring the information’s release.

Watson said some emails may not be subject to notice, but on April 19 said that a virus had left her without a computer and that she had still not completed the review process.

On April 23, the UWM Post sent a final notice to Watson, stating that the timeframe had long passed during which a request could be complied with and a complaint would be filed with the DOJ if the records were not received within three days.

Watson said that she was not intentionally delaying the response. She said she had been inundated with “an unusually high number of requests” and did not receive emails from Costello until April 5.

Furthermore, she said the virus left her without her computer, where her working files are kept, and the request raised “complex record law issues.”

On April 26, Watson released two emails and one attachment, none pertinent to the athletics department investigation, and said she would need to provide notice to Whalley before the rest of the emails could be released, as per Wis. Stat. 19.356.

Only after 12 days have passed will she be able to release the most pertinent emails, Watson said.

University slow on athletics transparency Records request stalls; employees fear talking

By Steve Garrison News Editor news@uwmpost.com

UW-Milwaukee has kept a tight lid on information regarding former Athletic Director Rick Costello’s departure late Sunday night.

Out of eighteen athletic department employees contacted by the UWM Post to discuss Costello’s resignation, not a single individual was willing to speak on what was anonymously referred to by one employee as, “the worst kept secret in the athletics department.”

Several employees who were willing to speak on the record asked not to be named for fear of losing their job.

All questions about Costello’s resignation were referred to Vice Chancellor of University Relations Tom Luljak, who has spearheaded the university’s response to the crisis.

“They want to just make sure all information is coming out the university’s communications department,” Assistant Sports Information Director Kevin Conway said.

Luljak said he could not provide answers to several questions submitted by the UWM Post, because of the university’s policy regarding personnel matters.

He also refused to discuss the results of a climate survey conducted by third-party company Iconic, which a former athletic department member said showed the toxic work en-

Chalk it up $5,500 clean-up cost and seven citations issued

By Clair Sprenger Staff Writer news@uwmpost.com Police issued citations to seven Allied Student Voice officers for spray-chalking ASV’s logo on campus as part of their election campaign.

The university estimates the cleanup costs at $5,500, and each citation the officers issued was for $267.

Officers of ASV said they followed rules and took all the necessary precautions by buying spray-chalk that was advertised as easily washing away.

ASV officers say they consider the incident a misunderstanding. Police say the chalking is still vandalism, even if the spray-chalk brand promised to wash off.

Police are using UW System (UWS) Chapter 18 policy banning vandalism on campus to issue the citations.

The UWM Center for Student Involvement created an extension of that, limiting spray-chalking. The limits require student organizations to spray-chalk with brands that “easily dissipate in the rain” and only on “walking surfaces with outdoor exposure.”

Although ASV Campaign Manager Michael Ludwig said police officially cited the students for violating Chapter 18, not CSI’s extension, police quoted the extension over email as further justification for the citations.

ASV spray-chalkers used the brand Aervoe, which claims to “naturally disappear with water, traffic or other abrasions but will remain visible for up to 3 weeks.”

Police issued citations on April 12, two days before it first rained in April and about a week after confronting campaigners while they were chalking.

Ludwig and ASV presidential candidate Daniel Laughland, among three or four other witnesses, said they were chalking the big ASV logo in Spaights Plaza when several police surrounded them with vehicles, assuming they were using permanent paint.

Independent Election Commissioner Anthony DeWees, Laughland and Ludwig said that police confiscated the spray-chalk, took notes and then left the scene. The police report that led to citations did not make note of this conversation.

Ludwig said police called him twice to talk about the citations and to issue a clean-up deadline on the day the citations were issued.

“The group was afforded the opportunity to remove the mark-

UWM’s symphony director leaves on a high note

After 28 years, UWM’s Symphony Orchestra Conductor and Professor Margery Deutsch decides to retire

By Chelsey Dequaine Staff Writer news@uwmpost.com On Friday, April 27, UW-Milwaukee’s Director of Orchestral Activities Margery Deutsch performed her farewell concert at the Helene Zelazo Center. After 28 years, Deutsch decided to “leave on a high note,” retiring this May. The search for an interim conductor was narrowed down to three and should be revealed next week.

“I am getting emails and Facebook messages from students I had over the past 28 years,” Deutsch said. “It’s pretty sweet.”

Deutsch grew up in New York and got her Bachelor of Arts degree in flute and vocal performance from the State University of New York-Buffalo. She then went on to get her Master of Arts degree in musicology from the University of California-Santa Barbara as well as her Master of Music degree in orchestral conducting from the State University of New York-Stony Brook.

“Nowadays, the field [of conducting] is too competitive. You need a doctorate,” Deutsch said.

Deutsch became Music Director and Conductor of the UWM Symphony Orchestra and the University Community Orchestra when she came to Milwaukee in 1984.

“I was with Shreveport Symphony Orchestra when the job opened,” Deutsch said. “I wanted to see if my destiny lay as a professional conductor or an educator. I really thought I would be a good educator - to work with young people and nurture their love of music.”

In 1990, Deutsch won the UWM Undergraduate Teaching Award for “Extraordinary Musical Accomplishments.”

However, she credits most of her inspiration to the late West Side Story Composer Leonard Bernstein. “[To learn] you need to sit at the feet of the masters,” said Deutsch, who saw Bernstein when she was a child every Saturday. “He did a young people’s concert for television.

He had such a magnetic personality. He was the first guy that sort of did what he did, he’s

University Photo original.”

Over the span of her career at UWM, Deutsch says her most memorable experience was in March when she took the Symphony Orchestra to perform at Carnegie Hall in the 2012 New York International Music Festival.

Among the high school bands and orchestras present, UWM was the only college invited.

“It was a phenomenal trip and the students loved it,” said Deutsch, who recalls the experience of taking a year and a half to organize. “We had to book flights and hotels, raise money and get fundraisers for the students - I probably spent 1,000 hours on that,” she said.

Under her direction, Deutsch also took the orchestra to play at the Chicago Symphony Center, the Wisconsin Music Educators Association State Conference in Madison, the National Federation of Music Club and the Wisconsin Alliance for Composers.

“We don’t have a lot of money,” Deutsch said. “It gets challenging [to travel] and is expensive to get on the main stages.”

The conductor reflects that she is very proud of the program at UWM. “There was a lot of building I had to do,” she said.

However, Deutsch added that she is still

concerned with why students aren’t attending the free shows.

“These are free concerts! I wonder why every seat isn’t filled! I fought so hard to make these free for students, I really went to bat, it’s a cool hip thing to do,” Deutsch said.

“We didn’t have a hall 10 years ago. When we bought the Zelazo, that made it truly a campus opportunity for everyone.”

In her free time after retirement, Deutsch plans to stay busy with the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra. Being the largest youth orchestra in the country, she plans to go with them to Prague and Vienna this summer.

Deutsch also hopes to do more guest conducting around the country.

“I can actually say yes to people that invite me,” Deutsch said. “Maybe I’ll take another orchestra down the road. I’m not closed to possibilities.”

Over the course of 28 years, Deutsch worked with over 1,000 students, and the UWM orchestra is the second largest presenter in the city for musical events, most of which are free.

“I am young enough to still enjoy life,” Deutsch who celebrated her birthday two weeks ago, said. “I’m not too decrepit yet!”

Economic survey further reveals CHALK Continued from page 1 Wisconsin’s partisanship

Inaugural poll tracks perception of the state economy

By Audrey Posten Staff Writer news@uwmpost.com

A recent economic survey conducted by UW-Milwaukee’s Center for Urban Initiatives and Research, in conjunction with the WUWM public radio station and WisBusiness. com, revealed a strong partisan and ideological rift between Wisconsin residents.

This was the inaugural poll of the Wisconsin Economic Scorecard, which will track the perception of Wisconsin’s economy as well as the personal economic situations of Wisconsin residents.

For a number of years, Joseph Cera, the CUIR survey center supervisor, said CUIR had been doing opinion polls for the Milwaukee Business Journal. That partnership included two to three polls every year pertaining to economic issues in southeastern Wisconsin. However, when that partnership faded, Cera said the infrastructure remained, but CUIR was left with no outlet.

The WUWM station general manager, Dave Edwards, said WUWM already had a fairly long-standing relationship with WisPolitics.com, including its extension WisBusiness. com, and had worked with UWM on various projects. As a result, a new outlet was born.

“It was a natural extension,” Edwards said, “especially considering the relationships.”

Edwards said the survey wanted to focus on the economy because that is usually one of the biggest election topics. While CUIR’s other polls had focused solely on the southeastern part of the state, Cera said it was a good idea to expand.

“Why just look at southeastern Wisconsin?” Cera said. “Why not look at the entire state?”

The survey borrowed a standard set of questions from previous surveys conducted around the country, but both Cera and Edwards said some Wisconsin-specific questions were added. Those new questions asked about the participant’s involvement in Wisconsin programs like FoodShare and Badger Care, as well as the perceived impact the governor and the state legislature have on the state economy.

Of the 545 randomly-selected survey participants, half described the state economy as fair, with roughly 45 percent expecting the economy to improve over the next year.

Participants were less optimistic about the national economy, with 59 percent saying it is headed in the wrong direction.

The poll also found that the perceptions of the direction of the United States were negatively related to the perceptions of the direction of Wisconsin. Of those that said the U.S. economy was headed in the right direction, 63 percent said Wisconsin

was headed in the wrong direction.

Conversely, of those that did not see the national economy improving, 61 percent said the state was headed on the right path.

The survey brief said partisanship and ideology explain this division, as the poll showed that 82 percent of selfidentified democrats thought the state was headed in the wrong direction, while 84 percent of self-identified republicans believe Wisconsin will improve throughout the next year.

In conjunction with that, 71 percent of self-identified liberals were not optimistic about Wisconsin’s future, while 77 percent of self-identified conservatives remained optimistic. Of the participants that identified themselves as moderates, 40 percent believed Wisconsin was on the right track.

When asked what they believed was the most important economic issue, half of all participants responded with jobs and unemployment. Health care took a distant second, as only 6 percent viewed it as the most important issue.

One topic participants agreed upon was that both the governor and the state legislature have a major impact on Wisconsin’s economy. Seventy-six percent said the governor plays a major role regarding the state’s economy.

Sixty-four percent cited the legislature as a major factor.

Cera said, since CUIR had never conducted a statewide poll, researchers were not sure what results they would see.

“People who thought the economy was poor were those more exposed to the labor market,” Cera said.

Cera explained that those participants, who he described as non-business owners, as well as those without jobs, were less optimistic, while business owners and retirees showed more optimism.

Just over half of the participants described themselves as middle class and nearly 60 percent have been Wisconsin residents for over 30 years.

Both Cera and Edwards said the Wisconsin Economic Scorecard will be a quarterly poll, with the next survey set to be conducted around the time of the gubernatorial recall election. Cera said the first poll was conducted in four days. He said the standard time is less than five days in case an issue arises that would affect the survey.

Depending upon the state’s economic climate, Edwards said some survey questions may change, but that the poll will remain consistent.

“There’s an established standard battery of questions,” Cera said, “so adding and removing questions could mess that up.”

Edwards agreed that there is value in asking the same things each time.

“The longer it continues,” he said, “the better people can see the change over time.”

ings by April 16 in lieu of receiving citations,” police said via email.

Ludwig, who believes police may have contacted him a day later than police claim, described the three or four day window as unreasonable.

Ludwig also said he believes some other ASV officers involved did not receive calls until as late as the following Wednesday.

Ludwig called Physical Plant Services (PPS), which he needed to access water-spigots and cleaning equipment from, on the same day police called him. Although a contact at PPS said they were open and answering calls during their normal hours, Ludwig said their office had closed for the weekend already.

Ludwig and another person from ASV then checked out equipment from custodial and maintenance services that day and the two days following, cleaning about eight or nine hours total with some success.

“Mike [Ludwig] and Jesse were both out there last weekend,” Laughland said, “with a mop and a bucket of water, and they kept running, going all the way upstairs to where the hot water was, and coming back…[He] got most of it off… but, I guess the rest of it they were not okay with.”

DeWees spoke with Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Michael Laliberte later that day, to discuss ASV cleaning up the chalk themselves

April 30, 2012 3 and avoid tickets.

“We were very willing to work with it, and they were very willing to give us vandalism tickets,” Ludwig said.

Ludwig said he requested the police report and emails between police and PPS last Wednesday, and Vice Chancellor of University Relations and Communications Tom Luljak was unavailable to confirm PPS’s involvement in the incident by press time.

Ludwig said the university’s estimate of $5,500 is wasteful, and said he questions how that money was spent.

“I think people need to get their priorities straight, number one,” Ludwig said. “Number two, I think we should spend student dollars wisely; number three, jumping the gun and handing out vandalism tickets doesn’t solve anything…That’s a gross misuse of university money, if they spent $5,500 to clean up chalk…instead of waiting for it to wear off.”

Laughland admitted ASV campaigners knew spray-chalk would last longer than regular chalk, but not long enough to violate chalking policy.

“We were talking about how we didn’t want to have to re-chalk all the time, because it being April, you know, we could have had a very rainy few weeks and would be out there chalking every single day,” Laughland said.

Police said they have found spraychalk on “sidewalks, benches, retaining walls, and concrete landings on campus.” Laughland and Ludwig said that ASV chalked only on surfaces within policy guidelines.

Ludwig said he questions why police singled out ASV, among three parties that recently spray-chalked, in-

cluding the United Panthers, who, according to Ludwig, chalked on vertical surfaces and under overhangs, and the Vote Union Yes campaign.

“I think there was one spot where we accidentally put it under an overhang, but other than that, we were in compliance with that policy,” Laughland said.

Laughland and Ludwig both said that the Vote Union Yes markings, which official university employees sprayed on, have lasted at least a month longer. These also violate limits on where the spray-chalk can be used, appearing under overhangs and on vertical surfaces, such as the overhang in front of the union.

“The cracks and like all the imperfections of the building and all around, they spray [chalked] those yellow,” Laughland said. “It looks like just general marking, it was actually part of the renovation campaign. I don’t think a lot of people realized it though.”

“The university itself spray-chalks on vertical surfaces, under overhangs and has blatant disregard for the policy,” Ludwig said. “Why did physical plant target just us?”

Ludwig is conducting his own investigation into why he believes ASV was “singled out” and the communication that led to this confusion. “[I]t’s just unfortunate that it came to the point that we’re going to have to pay for this,” Laughland said.

“Couldn’t work out a deal, and now students are paying for something they were willing to do as volunteers.”

Tenth annual Student Achievement Rep. Richards comes Awards honor campus organizations to Murray Hill SHAC, Hmong Student Association among this year’s recipients Assemblyman weighs in on longstanding tension as neighborhoods mobilize

By Justin Jabs He thanked the organizations for at home at school.”

Staff Writer news@uwmpost.com

Over 20 individuals and student organizations were honored at the 10th Annual Student Achievement Awards. The awards were presented

by Center for Student Involvement Director Eric Jessup-Anger and Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Michael Laliberte last Monday.

The ceremony took place at the Union Art Gallery and recognized recipients of the Advisor of the Year, Outstanding Student Organization, Student Organization Service awards and others.

Over 319 student organizations put on service projects, social events, fundraisers and more the past two semesters, according to Jessup-Anger.

“In short, you’ve really made this a great academic year,” Jessup-Anger said.

Before naming those who had received awards, Laliberte provided an anecdote on the effect student organizations and events had on his life as a first generation college student.

“I was learning a lot more outside of the classroom than inside,” Laliberte said.

helping create community on the urban campus, something Laliberte admitted was “difficult to accomplish.”

More students, faculty and parents showed up to the ceremony than anticipated; all 40 chairs in the room were filled and approximately 20 more stood on and watched. The event lasted less than a half hour and pictures were taken of the recipients to be featured in an upcoming UWM Post advertisement.

The full-page ad will run next semester highlighting all awardees. Jessup-Anger explained that the Center for Student Involvement waits to run the advertisement until next fall to help the organizations recruit new members. Banners will also be placed in the Union.

CSI took nominations for six different categories of awards, and Jessup-Anger encouraged students to continue to nominate organizations in future years. One of the nominees and recipients of the Outstanding Student Organization award was the Hmong Student Association. “[Our organization] represents Hmong students on campus,” said Kia Her, one of the attendees present to receive the award. “It helps them feel

Pa Kou Lee, another representative, said it “feels wonderful” for the organization to be recognized for their accomplishments.

“This is the first time ever,” she said. The group has been around since 1987.

The ceremony did not just honor students, but also some of their leaders.

Melanie Heindl received the Advisor of the Year award for her work with the Student Housing Administrative Council, which she has been advising for two years.

“It’s good, like your hard work pays off,” Heindl said of her award. “But I am rewarded every day working with my students.”

SHAC, like the Hmong Student Association, earned one of the Outstanding Student Organization awards. It was the first time “in recent memory,” according to Heindl, that the organization was recognized in this manner.

Rick Clark, an assistant director at CSI, helped coordinate the award ceremony, the tenth of its kind.

“Thank you for all you’ve done to make student life fantastic this year,” Clark said to the recipients.

By Zach Brooke Assistant News Editor news@uwmpost.com State Rep. Jon Richards addressed the Murray Hill Neighborhood Association on April 24 at a meeting that started and finished with discussion about UW-Milwaukee.

The seven-term Democrat has represented Milwaukee’s Upper East Side in the State Assembly since 1998. It’s an area that includes UWM and the surrounding neighborhoods.

“I was here when Murray Hill was formed. I was glad that an organization came in to represent this neighborhood, because it really does need some organized effort to maintain quality of life,” Richards said.

Accompanied by a PowerPoint, Richards detailed his efforts in curbing the disruptions in neighborhoods surrounding UWM and in forging a closer relationship between UWM officials and neighborhood associations.

Richards cited as progress UWM’s hiring of associate vice chancellor “solely for student discipline” within the last year, a new communication program starting in June aimed at making students “responsible courteous neighbors,” and upcoming meetings between UWM and Murray Hill.

“One of the things I would like to hear more details about in the next couple of weeks is what you have in mind in terms of accountability. I think this is something people have been chafing at,” Richards said.

“I think it’s important to set up the lines of communication so people will have a clear sense of what’s going on and who to call. If people don’t have confidence that’s in place right now, then we have to set it in place.”

Murray Hill President Steve Klebar announced he would use a university meeting about the Northwest Quadrant to present UWM with a memorandum of understanding. Murray Hill and other neighborhood associations have been holding up the rezoning of the Northwest Quadrant, which is still zoned for hospital purposes, as leverage in negotiations with the university.

“We are going to be presenting a memo of understanding to the university, regarding how we would like to work with the university to deal with community based issues that the university is a stakeholder in and has some degree of accountability for working towards providing solutions.”

In 2005, UWM signed a similar agreement with another neighborhood association, Water Tower Landmark Trust, regarding the redevelopment of the Kenilworth Building. Under the stated terms, the number of bedrooms in

Kenilworth is fixed at 372, and no more than 25 percent of bedrooms can be rented to undergraduates under the age of 22.

Of particular interest to Murray Hill and other neighborhood associations is UWM’s enforcement of Chapter 17 of UW System Code of Conduct, which allows schools to discipline students for “serious and repeated” incidents occurring off-campus. UWM-area neighborhood associations would like to see UWM more aggressively enforce Chapter 17 and codify stricter language in the Code of Conduct.

On Tuesday, Richards stated he was in favor of the idea.

“I do think we need to tighten up the language on Chapter 17,” he said.

In an email interview, UWM Vice Chancellor for University Relations Tom Luljak said that the university is open to discussions about changes regarding Chapter 17, but “the decision on that matter rests with the Board of Regents, not UWM.” The meeting between Murray Hill and UWM is scheduled for early May. Klebar also announced Murray Hill would join other neighborhood associations in opposing liquor licenses for bars that participate in area pub crawls.

Among other topics brought up by Murray Hill members was retaliation from students over crackdown on partying in campus neighborhoods, and the future of UWM’s embattled Student Association.

Citing coverage in the UWM Post, Murray Hill member Jerry Sigemann asked if the legislature would consider changes to the shared governance law, which requires students to have a say in tuition is appropriated.

“Has anybody in the legislature ever considered tightening up the law so that these inexperienced and inept senators are called to transparency and honesty?”

Sigemann asked. “I don’t think there are many students who feel that their money is properly allocated.”

“That’s something we should take a closer look at especially when you talk about possibly misappropriating money,” Richards responded.

Another Murray Hill member told Richards that windows in his home were smashed out with bricks the previous weekend. The member, who requested not to be named, said one of the bricks was wrapped in issue of the Post from earlier this semester where he’s shown attending another neighborhood meeting. Milwaukee Police Department officials confirmed the incident took place as described and that they are still searching for the culprits.

Also speaking Tuesday was UWM COAST representative Steve Heimerl, who informed the audience that MPD had issued the first illegal tavern citation in campus neighborhoods this year, which carries a fine of $2,500.

University Committee meets with the provost

Discusses academic and administrative concerns, goes into hour long closed session

By John Parnon Assistant News Editor news@uwmpost.com UWM’s University Committee met this Tuesday to discuss parking on campus, the search for a new College of Engineering and Applied Sciences dean, the merits of rate-aprofessor.com, how advisers play into UWM’s transfer rate and a myriad of other topics, despite going into closed session for nearly an hour.

UC member Marcia Parsons was filling in for absentee Mark Schwartz, chair of the UC. The UC, which typically has a number of guests at their weekly meetings, invited Student Association Vice President Sana Khan to speak about student government issues, and later had Provost Johannes Britz come to talk about academic issues. Britz was also present during the closed session.

Parsons initiated the lengthy closed session, citing personnel matters as the reason for closing the meeting. Before closing the meeting, Britz told the Post that the UC had two letters to discuss.

On Monday, one day before the UC meeting, UWM’s Athletic Director Rick Costello resigned amidst an investigation into the entire athletic department.

“From the length of the closed time, you can assume that we had many issues,” UC member Rudi Strickler said in an email to the Post.

“From the short message published, re: Mr. Costello, you can be assured that our chancellor and our biking-to-work provost both are looking out for the “sportive” part of UWM.” UWM has a policy of not discussing personnel matters with the media or the public, and would not disclose the contents of the closed session.

One of the first issues that came up during the meeting was the university’s parking budget. Khan said that the budgets had been approved, and the group expressed concerns about the long term feasibility of the budget.

“It’s for the whole year, so we have next year to find a solution for every year,” Strickler said.

The committee then talked briefly about Costello’s resignation during open session, with the group agreeing that the university had handled it very well.

Khan told the UC that Costello handed his resignation in on Sunday

night and that Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Michael Laliberte would be in charge of the athletic department while the university looked for a new athletic director.

About 20 minutes after the meeting started, Britz arrived and gave the committee his weekly campus updates.

Britz first talked about a dean’s meeting that had been held earlier that morning and the discussion they had about centralizing the university’s budget model.

Britz said it would make it easier to fund for international recruitment, saying that the current budget model doesn’t address the problem of which funds can be used as scholarships.

“We can use it in support of study abroad,” Britz said. “Madison students... 80 percent of their undergrads have international experience. We have eight percent.”

Parsons said she was worried about going down that path too quickly because Madison takes a smaller number of Wisconsin students.

“If we march down that path too quickly or too deeply, we’re going to hurt Wisconsin kids. I’m worried about our Wisconsin kids.”

Britz said that bringing in international students can help stabilize UWM’s population of nearly 30 thousand students with higher retention rates.

“Instead of going to 38,000 students with a 40 percent retention rate... We can generate income and make students more successful over 6 years,” Britz said.

Britz said UWM has lost close to $7.5 million over the biennium because students weren’t enrolling, whether it was caused by demographics, marketing or the economic climate of Wisconsin.

The committee later discussed the search for the new dean of the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, the position Chancellor Lovell used to hold.

UC ended the meeting with reports from each member, with topics ranging from making sure political parties understand UWM’s budget needs to UWM’s policy on graduate students only being able to work on one degree at a time.

UC will meet again next Tuesday, where they plan to set their summer schedule.

Junior Cale Tassi looks to throw out a runner Sunday. Valpo swept the Panthers this weekend at Aaron Field. Post photo by Zak Wosewick

By Nolan Murphy Staff Writer sports@uwmpost.com Coming into this weekend’s three game home series versus Valparaiso, the UW-Milwaukee baseball team had high hopes to move up in the Horizon League standings. Those dreams were crushed after three quality starts by Valpo’s Tyler Deetjen, Kevin Wild and Kyle Wormington.

Weather conditions forced Saturday’s scheduled game to be moved to Sunday, forcing a doubleheader for the two Horizon League rivals. All three Valparaiso pitchers went at least seven innings, and held the Panther offense to five runs on the weekend.

In Friday’s game, an off outing hampered the Panthers star junior right-hander Eric Semmelhack, who was chased early from the game.

UWM railed back Friday to tie the game in the bottom of forth only to see Valpo score five unanswered runs in the fifth and sixth inning to put the Panthers away.

In the first game of Sunday’s game, a great start by Panthers pitcher Cale Tassi was spoiled by a sputtering UWM offense. Tassi went eight innings allowing five hits and three earned runs.

“Felt good out on the mound today, and the defense behind me did a great job, the bounces were just not going our way all weekend,” Tassi said.

Starting pitcher for Valparaiso was great in the first game of the doubleheader throwing nine innings, with five strikeouts and allowing one unearned run.

In between games, the brother of pitcher Kevin Wild, Shaun, was remembered after he was murdered earlier this winter. Shaun Wild was an

elementary school teacher and a Brown Deer graduate.

In game two of the double header, Valparaiso once again relied on their great pitching and defense to finish the sweep of UWM. The Panthers offense stranded nine base runners in scoring position, and in the last three innings left runners only 90 feet away at third base from scoring.

All-American closer for Valparaiso, Jarad Miller, recorded his fifth save of the season, working out of a jam in the eighth and ninth inning to shut down the Panther offense.

UWM will travel to Iowa City on Tuesday to face off against the Iowa Hawkeyes in a non-conference match up. They will resume Horizon League play this weekend visiting rival UIC in a three game series.UWM is now 17- 23 and 10-10 in conference play.

Last season, the Green Bay Packers struggled mightily on defense as they found themselves ranked 31st overall on that side of the ball. The run defense was the better of the two aspects of defense as it ranked toward the middle of the pack at 14 allowing 111.8 rushing yards per game, which in itself is inexcusable for a Dom Capers defense. The paramount concern for this defense last year was its atrocious, 32nd ranked pass defense that struggled after safety Nick Collins went down with his season-ending neck injury.

Even with the success of MVP Aaron Rodgers, the defense failed to live up to what it had accomplished the previous year as the Green Bay defense was eviscerated by Eli Manning in the playoffs after a 15-win season. The only way to bring peace and stability back to Titletown ironically was for Packers General Manager Ted Thompson to enter the “war room” and draft a rookie class that will help stabilize the defense and get the team back into contention.

With everything squared away, the UWM Post’s Tony Atkins and Zack Garhart took to the newsroom to analyze Ted Thompson’s decisions in the war room.

ROUND 1: (28th OVERALL): NICK PERRY (DEFENSIVE END -- USC) Garhart: With a 4.6 40 meter dash, Perry will unquestionably be a candidate for the needed pass rusher opposite Clay Matthews.

The position was high on Thompson’s list of priorities after the defensive squad obtained most of their sacks from secondary positions last season. Perry’s got the size (6-3, 271) to compete on the edge while rushing the quarterback. Grade: AAtkins: While Perry is listed as a DE, he definitely has the speed and size to play alongside former Trojan Clay Matthews. Given the physical gifts, I can only wonder if Perry will be interested or focused enough on giving the effort into becoming a linebacker with the drop-back and nickel coverage. However, this is a great pick that filled a need in the woeful pass rush. Grade: A ROUND 2: (51ST OVERALL): JEREL WORTHY (DEFENSIVE TACKLE -- MICHIGAN STATE) Garhart: After losing Cullen Jenkins last season, the defensive line suffered without the presence of a stubborn nose tackle. In selecting Worthy, Thompson instantly upgraded the defensive line with a player capable of stuffing the run. He’s used to the cold and will fit nicely alongside BJ Raji and in rotation packages. Grade: B+ Atkins: While going to defense again was a masterful move on Thompson’s part, Oregon’s LaMichael James and Wisconsin’s Peter Konz seemed to be better fits for the departing Wells and potentially Ryan Grant.

Worthy is a great run stopper and should be vital in getting our run defense back to the top. Grade: B (62nd OVERALL): CASEY HAYWARD (CORNERBACK -- VANDERBILT) Garhart: With addressing pass rushing concerns early, Thompson may have found a gem in Hayward in the second round.

Hayward’s got great speed and has an eye for the ball (5 interceptions in 2011 at Vanderbilt).

Learning under Charles Woodson and Tramon Williams should increase his chances of being a star down the road. Grade: B+ Atkins: With the passing defense in dire need of help, the Packers made one of the better moves in the draft by selecting Hayward. A former captain of the ball-hawking Commodores, Hayward should fit right in under the tutelage of Woodson, Williams, Sam Shields and company. Grade: AROUND 4: (132nd OVERALL): MIKE DANIELS (DEFENSIVE TACKLE – IOWA) Garhart: Though not quite as big as Worthy, Daniels comes from a program known for producing quality pass rushers and is a player capable of challenging his fellow rookie for playing time. His addition should contribute to Dom Capers’ practices of rotating the defensive front and will help to balance the young defensive line. Grade: BAtkins: Courted to play in the Senior Bowl by NFL coaches, Daniels comes from the ground and pound Big Ten Conference.

Daniels should be a great reliever in case of injury on the defensive line. Grade: B(133RD OVERALL): JERRON MCMILLIAN (SAFETY – MAINE) Garhart: Typical Ted Thompson move; wait for a small school secondary player to fall into your lap. In a deep safety class, the Packers may have found a replacement for Nick Collins. Displaying pure football speed, McMillian was clocked at 4.36 for his 40 and is also a very sound tackler. His versatility will be utilized by the creative Capers and will compliment the rising star Morgan Burnett nicely. Grade: AAtkins: Two words: very fast. This was another great pick for the defensive. A great 4.3 40 time and great recovery speed should have him in contention with the cornerbacks in terms of speed. This could be a late-draft homer for Ted Thompson. Grade: B+ LATE ROUND PICKS 163rd OVERALL: TERRELL MANNING (LINEBACKER -- NC STATE): At NC State, Manning excelled as an outside rusher and established himself as a hard hitting defender. His inconsistency and injuries may land him on the practice squad but the Packers need for a pass rusher prevailed with this pick. Grades: Garhart C+ Atkins C 241ST OVERALL: ANDREW DATKO (OFFENSIVE TACKLE -FLORDIA STATE): At Florida State, Dakto started the majority of his collegiate games before being sidelined to a shoulder injury as a senior. However, his production and size outweighed the risk of injury in Thompson’s mind as he should be looked at for stability on the offensive line. Grades: Garhart B- Atkins B+ 243rd OVERALL: B.J. COLEMAN (QUARTERBACK – CHATTANOOGA): At last, the Packers seek a candidate for the third string spot at quarterback. Coleman is a raw talent with a lot of upside in his ability to sling the ball all over the field and scramble when necessary. If utilized properly, his skills could develop enough to challenge Graham Harrell for the second string down the road.

Grades: Garhart B+ Atkins C+

FOUL Panthers women’s tennis Continued from page 1 team bounced in first round of tournament by Detroit

Panthers can’t keep up momentum of best regular season in school history

By Eric Engelbart Staff Writer sports@uwmpost.com The UW-Milwaukee Panthers (138, 6-2 Horizon) women’s tennis team enjoyed its best regular season finish this season, coming in third in the Horizon League. That accomplishment is nothing to scoff at, and is an encouraging sign for things to come.

On Friday afternoon, the Panthers faced off against Detroit in the first round of the Horizon League Women’s Tennis Championship Tournament.

The last time the teams faced was in the final match of the regular season, with the Panthers winning 7-0.

This time around, in what was a hard fought, three hour long battle, Detroit climbed back from a 0-3 hole to take the match 4-3.

The Panthers were able to stake themselves to an early lead by winning all three of their doubles matches in convincing fashion.

The Panthers’ Maddy Soule, who was recently named to the All Horizon League Team, helped the Panthers start out strong in singles play by winning her match. Soule was able to win in straight sets, 6-1, 6-3, over Detroit’s Raina Halabi.

Following Soule’s win, the Panthers lost four consecutive matches, allowing Detroit to take the lead for good.

Chelsea Bailey, the Panthers’ other All Horizon League Team selection along with Soule, couldn’t manage to defeat Detroit’s Chloe Karoub, as Bailey fell 6-4, 0-6, 6-3.

UWM’s Kelly Fritz started out strong, winning her first set 6-4. It was all downhill from there, as Detroit’s Amanda Cornwell fought back to win the next two sets 6-4, 7-5, clinching the victory for the Titans.

Milwaukee’s Brittany Skemp was the only other Panther to take her singles match, as she triumphed 6-0, 6-1.

track record with finances in previous years.

According to the Senate Finance Committee budget, the athletics department lost approximately $935,000 in the past year. The Senate Finance Committee is charged with allocating student segregated fees to the subsidized department.

A source inside the athletic department said that the management style under practice was not a good fit.

“The management style was probably worse than [former Athletic Director] George Koonce’s,” the source said. “We spent $90,000 on a survey telling us football was not a good idea here.”

Prior to Costello’s resignation, a climate survey was conducted by Iconic, “a company with extensive experience with employee relations within the work place,” Luljak said.

Although Luljak refused to discuss the survey, a former athletics department member said the results were one of the worst in the university.

“There are quality people in the athletic department that are not being treated the way they deserve to be treated and not being given the respect they deserve,” the former member said.

The source said that Costello was a good guy but just had a bad managerial skill set, a comment echoed by others.

Another former staff member said that complaints were made by members from almost every part of the department.

“I think [Costello] lacked engagement with coaching staff,” the source said. “He seemed to be more of a work-in-the-office type of guy.”

Institutional problems plague athletics department Maureen Keyes, a professor and the faculty athletics representative until 2010, said that the student problem - low graduation

April 30, 2012 7 rates among athletes - existed long before Costello was hired.

“There were instances that players would play four years and not graduate,” Keyes said.

In her time as the faculty athletics representative, she said that her voice was suppressed a number of times by administrators while she tried to advocate for academic integrity.

As the vocal objections from Keyes did not yield the intended results, the problems did not dissipate either, she said.

Keyes said that she was told by other faculty, knowledgeable of the situation, that there was nothing that could be done about the low graduation rates of student athletes.

Although Keyes’ contract was not renewed in 2010 under former Chancellor Carlos Santiago, she said that her advocacy for student integrity has not ceased.

“I brought this up to the former Provost [Rita Chang] and she simply told me I was wrong,” Keyes said.

“Students first, athletes second” was Costello’s personal motto repeated often by members of the athletics department However, records show academic integrity was not a strong standpoint for the men’s soccer program under Whalley.

According to the NCAA database, during the 2009-2010 campaign, the men’s soccer program received an 875 academic progress rate (APR). A 925 rating is equivalent to a 50 percent graduation rate.

Questions surround the transfer of women’s basketball coach Costello’s resignation comes two weeks after longtime women’s basketball coach Sandy Botham stepped down to take a position in the Alumni Association.

Despite an impressive coaching career, her management style has been a subject of complaints from former players and other faculty.

Similar to the men’s soccer program, the women’s basketball team also received low

APR ratings of 928 in 2009-2019, according to the NCAA. After peaking at a perfect score of 1000 in 2005-2006, the rates had steadily declined under Botham.

Several allegations were also leveled against Botham, who will finish out the last year of her contract with alumni relations.

Former player Jineen Williams said that in her time as a player from 2007-2009, there were instances where Botham’s stubborn tendencies inhibited her ability to perform.

“It was her way or the highway,” Williams said. “The other assistants were pretty much like puppets, they wouldn’t really say much, but they dealt with the situation.”

Williams claimed that she was forced by Botham to sign a behavior contract, stating that she would not act in a negative manner during practices.

Williams said she ripped up the contract when she received it and therefore could not provide it to the Post.

Alberto Rodriguez, father of women’s basketball player Angela Rodriguez, said he had spoken to administration about Botham’s profanity during practices and games.

Rodriguez said that Botham’s move to alumni relations was a positive step.

“She is very personable, so I feel like it is a good fit for her,” he said.

Despite the problems currently plaguing athletics, several current and former athletics members expressed optimism about the university’s ability to turn things around and said Chancellor Michael Lovell seems earnestly interested in improving sports at UWM. “All I know is everyone there is very happy this week because the frustration is gone,” a former athletic department member said following Costello’s resignation.

Panthers split; take on prestigious Drake Relays and Marquette Invitational Brewers offense stumbles out of the gate

UWM track and field preps for The Milwaukee Brewers have struggled to get the bats Horizon League Championships going but they have the talent to turn it around

By Erika Hanson Staff Writer sports@uwmpost.com UW-Milwaukee’s track and field team split up over the weekend, sending competitors across town to the Marquette Invitational and 12 athletes to the 103rd annual Drake Relays.

The competitions were used by both squads to fine tune their strategies for the coming weekend at the Horizon League Outdoor Championships, held Thursday through Sunday at the Wisconsin Lutheran Athletic Complex in Wauwatosa.

The renowned Drake Relays were held in Des Moines, Iowa this weekend, and is by far one of the biggest meets of the year. It boasts athletes of all types: high school competitors to professional Olympic athletes. This year’s showing was a special one, with several elite performers solidifying their positions for the track and field Olympic Trials for the London 2012 Games.

“It’s always cool to head to a big meet and see the world’s best athletes compete at such high levels,” said Kristi Schuette, a senior who participated in the 4x400m relay. “I was excited to be able to run alongside people I’ve been watching for years. Not too many athletes can say that they get to actually warm-up and shake hands with their idols at the same event.”

Both the men’s and women’s 4x400m relays made the cut at Drake on the weekend, along with Durell Busby in the 110m hurdles, Samia Taylor in the triple jump, Nick Hughes in the high jump and Ben Crogan in the pole vault. The best showing for the weekend was by the sophomore

Busby, who crossed the line in sixth in finals against some of the nation’s best hurdlers. His time of 13.96 was just off of his personal record in the event.

A large portion of the Panthers stayed in the area this weekend and utilized the Marquette Invitational to tweak their designated events.

However, once again, Mother Nature was not cooperating much on Saturday, and many athletes chose to scratch in their events as a precaution to remain injury-free.

Assistant coach Travis Anderson commented on both of the weekend’s competitions: “Our main focus right now is on the championships coming up. This weekend was just a tuneup for us. We’re planning on bringing the heat again this weekend like we did indoors and hopefully taking the trophy back to Klotsche for both the men and women again.”

UWM is hosting the outdoor league championship this weekend and, as usual, students are admitted free and are encouraged to attend.

As a member of the team myself, I can’t stress how beneficial it is having the voices of our peers help push us over bars, out of our blocks and around the throwing circle. If your weekend allows, please stop by and throw a cheer or two our way and help us fight to bring home some more first place hardware.

The Milwaukee Brewers haven’t exactly raced out to a great start in 2012, especially offensively. The loss of Prince Fielder seems to have reared its ugly head and taken effect on the Brewers’ everyday lineup thus far.

Reigning NL MVP Ryan Braun has started a bit slow so far this year. The effects of a tumultuous off-season for Braun haven’t appeared to affect him thus far. He’s hitting around the .275 mark to start the year but manager Ron Roenicke won’t worry about him as much as some of the other hitters in the order. Braun is clearly one of the best players in the league and is always confident at the plate.

Aramis Ramirez, the guy brought in to provide Braun with protection in the order, has gotten off to an all-but-dreadful start for Roenicke and the Brewers. A player known for his early season struggles, Ramirez appears to be making better contact and is starting to shake the rust off a bit. It’s weird for Brewer fans to root for Ramirez, who

is a former member of the Chicago Cubs, but there’s no doubt that he’ll turn it around some time soon.

Another guy that’s really stumbled out of the gates is Rickie Weeks. An all-star in 2011, Weeks was hitting .189 heading into the weekend series with the St. Louis Cardinals. That’s bad enough to be the worst average of all the everyday players in Milwaukee and he’s struck out 24 times, which puts him fifth in the Major Leagues in that category. As a lead-off hitter, that just won’t get the job done. It all starts with him. If he can get on base at a high rate, the Brewers will be much better off going forward.

Let’s not focus entirely on the negatives though; there actually have been a few offensive bright spots for the Brewers this season.

Corey Hart has thrived in the five-hole behind Ramirez. Hart is raking at a .288 clip heading into the weekend series and has six home runs and driven in 13 runs. Both of those lead the team. Hart is a former all-star and is well on his way to competing on the ballots for another selection.

Mat Gamel has been a pleasant surprise

as well. Despite having the near impossible task of replacing Fielder at first base, he’s hitting at a pretty good clip thus far this year and has had some timely hits this season.

Many fans had their doubts about Gamel after two albeit short but ineffective stints in Milwaukee prior to this year. The front office decided to keep him at Triple-A Nashville for the duration of the 2011 season to work on his first base game and it’s seemed to pay off for him as his defense has been better than originally thought.

The Brewers’ infield defense as a whole has been markedly improved after picking up a slick-fielder in Alex Gonzalez to play shortstop. He has three errors and a .956 fielding percentage but two of those errors weren’t his fault. It’s obvious that Gonzalez has more range than former SS Yuniesky Betancourt.

The defense and bullpen will be key for the Brewers moving forward toward their goal of repeating as NL Central division champions. They can do it but they’ll have to improve in all areas and will definitely have to get the offense going.

Milwaukee’s MUFF Fringe speaks with Milwaukee Underground Film Festival organizer, Morgan “Moe” McPhearson

By Kevin Kaber Assistant Fringe Editor fringe@uwmpost.com The Milwaukee Underground Film Festival is yet another time-honored tradition celebrated by artists, both locally and globally. Now in its twelfth year, MUFF has been a cornerstone of UWM’s film program, giving students and the local community a chance to study and experience a very non-commercial film festival lineup. The UWM Post spoke with MUFF’s Morgan “Moe” McPhearson, a film student and Festival organizer, about what we might expect from this year’s lineup.

UWM Post: For those of us who don’t know much about the Milwaukee Underground Film Festival, can you tell us what is it all about?

Morgan “Moe” McPhearson: Well it’s really a student run film festival. We’re the ones that put on the festival, we decide what goes in. We’re really looking for more innovative and experimental work, stuff that seems fresh. So it’s really an exciting festival.

Post: What’s the history of MUFF? MM: This is going to be its twelfth year of the festival – it’s been twelve years.

It started out just with some students that wanted to put on an underground film festival. They had been doing that and they actually turned it into a class for the [UWMilwaukee] film department. So now, anyone that takes the class gets involved in the Festival, which is really nice.

Post: So having been in existence for twelve years, has the festival gained a wide acclaim?

MM: Yeah, actually. We’re a recognized non-profit and we get works from all over the world. So it’s really, really neat to see experimental works coming out from all over the world on our screens in Milwaukee – it’s really an honor.

Post: When you put a call out for submissions, what are some of the far reaching places from which you receive works?

MM: Well right now, I think the farthest one we have in this year’s festival is India, and it’s a really good piece, so it was really exciting to get that.

Post: As MUFF largely is an experimental showcase, what are some things

film-goers might expect?

MM: We have a variety of works: experimental narratives, we have some flicker films, 3D, we have some installations that are going to be going on, some audience participation. We have a little bit of everything.

Post: Now, the featured filmmakers aren’t only composed of students, correct?

MM: No, they’re not. I think we only have a couple of grad students get into the festival and then we have some UWM alumni that got in, but most of it’s people from all over the country and the world submitting.

Post: Of the pieces I’ve seen so far, the one that stuck out to me the most was Kelly Sears’ “Once it Started it Could Not End Otherwise,” a creepy animation composed of scraps from vintage school yearbooks, a short that I found great. Will other submissions fall along these lines or sway far elsewhere?

MM: Yeah that one was really good.

But there’s actually a pretty even amount of each types of works as well as a variety of other types of works. We have found footage pieces, structural films and, you know,

Melvins still bring the power An interview with Dale Crover Metal band Melvins will bring their unique and innovative sludge to Turner Hall Tuesday night. Photo by Jessi Rose.

By Steven Franz Fringe Editor fringe@uwmpost.com The Melvins have been a band for longer than most readers of this paper have probably been alive. Their first release, the EP Six Songs was released in 1986, with a debut album, Gluey Porch Treatments, following it the next year. The list of bands the Melvins have influenced is long and impressive – everyone from fellow Washingtonians Soundgarden and Nirvana (Krist Novoselic is listed as the photographer on Six Songs) to Primus, Tool and alternative metal band Boris, who take their name from the lead track on the 1991 album Bullhead. They have released a full 20 albums and 10 EPs, the most recent of which, from this year, is The Bulls & the Bees, a five-song partnership with the budding Scion A/V alternative label.

Pioneers of sludge metal, the Melvins will bring their unique and powerful sound to Turner Hall on Tuesday night alongside Unsane. In advance of the show, the UWM Post sat down with longtime drummer Dale Crover, one of the band’s two remaining original members along with mighty-haired vocalist/guitarist Buzz Osborne.

UWM Post: You guys have been touring for a really long time, and you’ve constantly been on tour. What is it about touring that really draws you to it and makes you do it so much?

Dale Crover: Makes you more money.

We don’t sell a ton of records, so we always have to keep busy, so you keep busy making records and doing tours. That’s how we pay our bills.

Post: What was the deal with the Scion A/V partnership on your most recent EP? DC: They’ve done some stuff with us in the past. They commissioned a video about a year or so ago, and this time they asked if we wanted to do a little bit more and they asked if we wanted to do a five-song EP and also do a video for it. They would pay for the whole thing and give us the mix for it and we’d give it away online. We thought it was a pretty good deal. And also they’re more or less sponsoring this tour. They gave us some cars to drive around in, which was really pretty cool.

Post: Your upcoming album has been described as “Melvins-lite” – only one drummer. Why did it come to be that you’d only use one drummer?

DC: The Melvins-lite thing came about a few years ago. One of our drummers was out of town, and we had to do a benefit for someone, and we’re like, “Well, we have to do this, so we might as well try it.” It was kind of interesting. But ultimately we like bass. [Laughs.] We’ve played with [bassist] Trevor Dunn in the past, and Trevor does a lot of jazz stuff, so we thought it would be cool to have him on stand-up bass.

Post: Other than the one drummer and the stand-up bass, is there anything differ-

ent on the upcoming album, Freak Puke?

DC: I guess there are some different kinds of songs that we’ve never done before.

I think it fits in nicely with all of our other records though. So far the response we’ve seen is pretty good from the people that have heard it. I suppose it’s a little weirder and less – I don’t know. [Laughs.] But it’s definitely got a different vibe.

Post: I want to ask you about the “Melvan.”

DC: Oh yes. Well, it didn’t sell.

[Laughs.] The kid who owned it – I guess he’s not much of a kid anymore – back in the early nineties he was this 15-year-old kid from Montesano, Washington, which is where Buzz [Osborne] is from. Our old van was sitting in the driveway of our exbass player’s house, pretty much just rotting away, and he made some pilgrimage just to see the van that we used to tour in. Our exbass player’s mom just gave it to him when he turned 16 and got his driver’s license, so he’s had this thing ever since. I think he used to use it for his band a little bit.

The story that we heard about it was that he was going to have his house foreclosed on and he was getting divorced and had money trouble, so he decided that he would sell it on eBay, and I think its reserve was pretty high. [It was actually $99,000 – ed.]

I think he decided that since Kurt Cobain had drawn murals on the van that it was probably worth money; they noticed that his guitar and stuff had gone for a lot of money

experimental narratives. I’m pretty sure, across the board, we have an even amount of all types of works that you’d expect.

Post: So you’ve got three different venues (The Union Theatre, Walker’s Point Center for the Arts, and the Kenilworth Studios) on three different nights, how many films does it take to fill up that bill?

MM: Well it depends on how short the films are. We usually do like anywhere from 70 to 90 minutes per program and it’s usually short works. I don’t think we have anything longer than a half an hour.

Post: Obviously, this isn’t your average film festival…

MM: No, absolutely not [Laughs].

Post: When you walk around campus

and see posters that advertise “MUFF,” that’s when the intrigue comes.

MM: Yeah for sure, it’s more like… it’s for people that want to go to a film festival.

It also opens their eyes to what other work is out there. So that’s really, really great to be able to showcase such innovative works so the audience can see. Some they like, some they maybe won’t like, but it’s not like they’re going to see stuff like this at the Milwaukee Film Festival or something more commercial like that.

The Milwaukee Underground Film Festival will be held from Friday to Sunday at the Union Theater, Walker’s Point Center for the Arts and Kenilworth Studios.

at auctions. But ultimately vans aren’t guitars. It was interesting that it was on there and got a lot of press, which certainly helped us out; every major magazine was covering it. But in the end, nobody bought it, and I don’t really know what he’s doing with it now. We always thought he should just take what he could get from it, because it’s not really worth anything unless somebody wants a piece of lawn art or something Post: That’s some historic lawn art.

DC: Yeah, I guess so. It’s just a dumb drawing of Kiss, and when we did it we were just laughing our heads off the whole time. Ultimately when we went on tour in that van, we weren’t very incognito. It was kind of a cop magnet. [Laughs.]

Post: Speaking of Kurt Cobain a little bit, you guys have been around for a long time and have influenced a lot of musicians.

Has there ever been a band influenced by you that you’ve then turned around and yourselves been influenced by?

DC: Well, I don’t know about that, but a lot of people say they’ve been influenced by us, and sometimes I hear it and sometimes I don’t. One band I hear that I really like that has an influence by us is this band Tweak Bird. They’re these two brothers, and actually we just saw them play the other night in Austin. They’re great.

Post: Have you guys over the years, touring constantly, observed a change in – I don’t want to say “touring culture” – but something like that?

DC: For us, every year we go out it always seems like there’s kind of a new batch of kids that discover live music and find us somehow, and are interested in going to shows. It usually seems that once people turn 35 or so, they aren’t really interested in going out to shows anymore. So that’s good, it’s always good to have a fresh audience. There are certainly older people still that come to our shows, too. It’s always a nice surprise that people are interested in us after this long, because now we’re a bunch of old guys. [Laughs.]

Post: It’s just you and Buzz that are the remaining original members, right?

DC: Yeah. He and I have been together for about 28 years or so, and then the other guys have been in the band for about six years. I think we’ve only played Milwaukee once with those guys, and that was the first tour we did with them, so it’s been a while.

We’re happy to come back here.

Post: Have these new members influenced your sound at all?

DC: Oh, certainly. Anyone we play with we always tell to do their own thing, even if we’re playing old songs. It’s like, “Well, here’s how the song goes, but you’re wel-

come to add whatever you want to it that’s your own personal style.” Certainly it’s been nice to have the two drummer thing. It’s pretty massive, you know, it’s almost unfair.

[Laughs.] And also Jared, the bass player, is the lead singer in his band [Big Business], and everybody sings, so we have a lot more harmonies to make it a little bit more interesting. That’s definitely a plus. Certainly our song style has changed a bit, but it’s still the same band. I think you can tell.

Post: And you guys have always had that thing where it sounds a little different every time, too.

DC: Yeah, which I don’t think is a bad thing.

Post: Is there any way that live touring makes different songs take on different sounds?

DC: Yeah sure, they always evolve live.

Post: How do you go about putting a live setlist together with all the songs that you’ve created over the years?

DC: It’s hard to cover everything. On this particular tour we decided that we wanted to play the whole [The Bulls & the Bees] EP in its entirety, in order. We always think about the songs that are staples of the setlist, that are fun to play, but we just figure out what sounds good and what songs everybody wants to play. On this tour we’re doing a few songs that these guys have never done before. We just kind of figure out what fits and what seems to make sense, and usually we play the same setlist every night and have the whole thing mapped out so there’s definitely a flow to it. Some bands don’t like to play the same set every night and they change it around. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

When we toured with Primus, those guys would change the setlist every night.

Sometimes it just seemed like it didn’t work.

We always wanted to know what’s coming next and it just kind of worked out better that way. The reason other bands decide that they don’t want to do the same set is because they get bored, but I’ll never feel that way.

I think it just works out better; I think you get a better show that way.

Post: Do you ever step back and realize the context for your careers, and all the bands you’ve influenced – the Primuses and the Nirvanas?

DC: Yeah. Some of those bands still exist, and some of them aren’t around anymore, for whatever reason – they either quit, or in Nirvana’s case, well, you know the story there. I guess for us, we’re just grateful that we’re able to still do this and to make a living. That’s what I wanted to do when I first got into music.

A tribute to music, Milwaukee Juniper Tar’s “Last Waltz” was smashing

By Kevin Kaber Assistant Fringe Editor fringe@uwmpost.com It was almost 40 years ago when The Band decided to gather their friends for an outstanding night of live music to dedicate The Band’s “last show.” Appropriately titled The Last Waltz, The Band’s entourage featured some of the 1970s greatest musicians, including Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Neil Young and many, many more.

The show was labeled as a feat in itself, so much so that Martin Scorsese directed its filming.

Fast forward to present day Milwaukee. Hometown indie rock heroes, Juniper Tar, throw a concert modeled after The Band’s.

Friday night’s Turner Hall was given a unique Milwaukee music experience to celebrate the release of Juniper’s latest, Since Before (and opening act Surgeons in Heat’s recently released self-titled EP). It was obvious from the start that the show would be an awesome experience for any Milwaukee music fan, and the city’s scene for that matter, judging by the masterful lineup of guest artists.

Not long after Surgeons in Heat left the stage (following their closing song, the poppy “GT50”), beers were bought and friends met up, patiently awaiting the event at hand.

Opening with the heavy drums of “Old Mystery,” Juniper Tar’s stage presence was more or less settled within the song’s six-or-so minutes – four members of the band flaunted about the stage, smirking at one another, then the crowd, playing their guitars in a close-knit group as if they were in a claustrophobic basement instead of the sprawling stage at Turner. Before some bright fucking lights, Juniper Tar’s stage charisma was powerful, likely due to the vocalists’ incredible abilities to create harmonies seemingly from scratch.

However grateful to their cohorts in the Milwaukee scene, Juniper Tar was more than happy to share the stage with their neighbors, even the upcoming Hugh Bob (who’s to debut with his Hustle at Hotel Foster in July). But by spreading their love for their fellow musicians, Juniper Tar’s symbiotic relationship with them only further cemented their friendliness and approachability overall.

On the musical level, Juniper’s folk-twined indie rock makes an easy listen, especially in the live setting

where their talent can truly be witnessed. Like My Morning Jacket, Juniper’s sound varies slightly from tune to tune – from loud to soft, from catchy to ambient.

But since the night wasn’t only Juniper’s, performances were at their most memorable when friends were present onstage and the crowd.

Notably in a pseudo-interlude featuring geeky guitarist that is Black Eagle Child, who’s multiple haunting guitar loops hypnotized the audience for awhile, in a dark, solo performance.

Conversely, Sat. Nite Duets’ vocalist Andy Jambura appeared while Juniper’s boys played “Peel Away” well more overboard than its original rendition.

On the other hand, when the only female performers, the girls of Hello Death, hit the stage, the crowd was in awe while Juniper accompanied their vocals, guitars and banjo on “Settlers” – a light and catchy song that had everyone listening contently in silence.

On the same level, Paul Cebar was welcomed on stage with hugs and cheers, by Juniper and the crowd, respectively. Cebar’s performance of “Holding on to the Wind,” a song which admittedly wasn’t normally preformed by Cebar and his band, fit perfectly within the repertoire of the night’s setlist.

Juniper’s overall shtick was what anyone would want out of a local band. Their between-song banter was funny and open for comments from the crowd. Band member parents were obviously prevalent in the crowd, what with recording video on their iPads and Nikons.

But for Milwaukee in particular, it was close-knit, without rivalry. This amiable gathering of Milwaukee’s best rockers could be summed up within a line of Juniper Tar’s take on “I Shall Be Released” (The Band), the set’s closing song of which the night’s participants and crowd shared vocal responsibilities: “So I remember every face / Of every man who put me here.”

At least for us, this was in no way a “Last Waltz.” Juniper Tar will officially live on, but even though Scorsese wasn’t recording, this show will definitely be remembered by all who were there.

Spanning the globe UWM’s annual global cinema conference

By Steven Franz Fringe editor fringe@uwmpost.com Dozens of the most prestigious film scholars and critics from around the world gathered at UW-Milwaukee’s Hefter Center over the weekend to participate in the school’s annual global cinema conference, a two-day event organized by UWM faculty. Operating under the banner of the Center for International Education, the two-day conference, put together by film studies faculty members Tami Williams and Elena Gorfinkel, touched on a variety of topics via a series of panels, in which invited speakers gave 20-minute lectures – generally taking the form of academic papers read aloud – followed by 15-minute Q&A sessions in which the diverse assemblage of academics bounced profoundly intellectual and complex questions around the room.

The most notable speakers of the conference included two film critics, each one closing out a day of the action – Australian critic and lecturer Adrian Martin on Day One, and legendary writer and cinephile Jonathan Rosenbaum on Day Two. In addition, a variety of UWM faculty were

naturally present, including both Gorfinkel and Williams (who each gave closing remarks), Vice Provost for International Education Patrice Petro, comparative literature Chair Peter Y. Paik, film studies program Director Gilberto M. Blasini, and associate professors Jian Xu, Jason Jones, and Caroline Seymour-Jorn.

Many national and worldwide presenters were also featured, hailing from places as disparate as the University of Sussex, UK, and the University of Lausanne, Switzerland. Appropriate for a global cinema conference, many speakers themselves could claim a variety of nations as original homes, including N. Frank Ukadike (Nigeria), Luisela Alvaray (Mexico), and Bhaskar Sarkar (India) – all of whom gave lectures on the cinema of their respective countries – as well as Hamid Naficy (Iran) and Laurent Guido (France).

Globalization was the primary concern of the conference, with many lecturers making note of the ways in which a globalized market has an effect on both film industry and cinema markets.

Sarkar’s lecture involved what he termed “cosmoplasticity” – the malleable nature of so-called cultural cosmologies – which he contextualized using the dirt-cheap cinema industry of Malegaon,

India, which was being heavily influenced by, of all things, Korean popular culture. Ukadike described the national cinema of Nigeria – or “Nollywood,” as it’s known – a similarly inexpensive video industry (with an entire yearly budget of about $250 million) that has emerged in the last 20 years to become the second-largest film industry in the world, largely because of its cheapness and its apolitical genre fantasy, a stark contrast from a traditional African style of cinema that makes the continent’s colonial history the fore of its intense social critique. There was also a specific and diverse focus on global queer cinema, both historiographically and formally, as described by Blasini, Karl Schoonover and Patricia White.

The two film critics were the stars of the event, however, each giving immersive lectures that, as a result, ate up their designated 20 minutes in a quick hurry. They were also the least global cinema-centric, with Martin giving an extended slideshow analyzing modern framing techniques that dissolved into a competition of classical framing and “un-framing” the likes of Paranormal Activity, and Rosenbaum going on a brief rant about the necessary shift in lexicon when referring to “film” that often has no basis in tangible celluloid before engaging the audience on an ongoing question/answer session. Rosenbaum’s career as a writer precedes him majestically, and his presence provided a fittingly engrossing ending to an event To read the rest of this story, of which he was merely co-author. visit uwmpost.com

Full house, empty conscience Beauty in the raw Toro Y Moi’s latest reclaims recent past Off-color comic delivers the goods

By Graham Marlowe Assistant Fringe Editor fringe@uwmpost.com Bob Saget’s eight years on primetime sitcom Full House as a clean-cut father of three are essential to understanding the family-friendly onscreen/vulgar off-screen persona he exemplifies. But even if a “full house” isn’t what the comedian got at UWMilwaukee’s Klotsche Center on Saturday night, his foul-mouthed set was populated enough to make his part of the UWM Comedy Bash surprisingly enjoyable.

Rather than delay the inevitable, he used his experiences on that show to drive his punch lines to progressively darker places.

The night was chock-full of the raunchy, over-the-top humor that led him out of basic cable and into random, often psychotic roles following his exit from the beloved America’s Funniest Home Videos – particularly for the droves of young and middleaged adults who came with little to no outside knowledge of the man’s career.

“They had to take ‘Home’ out after I left,” he said of the show’s changed demographics. “There’s too many homeless people out there now that would be offended.”

One of few punch lines the crowd actually allowed early on, his delivery was impeded by the constant onslaught of boisterous non-sequiturs (“Masturbation!”; “Bob Saget!”; “I suck dick for coke!”) and incoherent taunts.

The venue was dimmed, however not dark enough, for the mostly inebriated audience to hide behind their

ridicule. Saget hand picked the loudest dissenters and cruelly latched onto them by reciprocating their insults.

“Chris,” an absurdly intoxicated student that the actor compared to “Beaker on speed,” bore the brunt of the headliner’s frustration.

“I’ve got a lot of dick jokes, Chris, and you’re one of ‘em now!” he shouted, foreshadowing how Saget later brought him on stage, giggled as he asked a few questions and summarily had security escort him out.

Instead of toppling his critics, those same people threw fuel on the comedian’s fiery stream of drug humor (“I can feel the drugs in the audience here”), bizarre encounters in Hollywood and his likening of the crowd to an angry mob.

“Is this a Viking convention?” he asked when students sloppily praised the use of club drugs.

“I once took three roofies and three Viagra by mistake,” Saget said, citing one of numerous drug experience mishaps. “I woke up at three in the morning wondering how many times I’d screwed myself.”

When the comedian felt the shadow of his nice-guy past return, the jokes simply got dirtier as he struggled to keep a straight face.

“The other night a woman told me how she grew up watching me [on TV],” he presaged. “I told her, ‘Well, now I can watch you while you go down on me!’” he said to muffled cries of delight and slight offense.

Tact be damned, Saget then turned to a female heckler to cap off the joke.

“I’m Jewish,” he said, clasping his groin area. “Want to see?”

Forty minutes later, Saget eased

off to showcase his knack for demented storytelling, which complements his respectable jazz-rock guitar ability. Bearing titles like “Driftwood Nursery Home,” “Danny Tanner Was Not Gay” and “My Dog Licked My Balls,” the comedian showed how even the handicapped aren’t off-limits to his charms. At times the actor barely moved from one verse to the next, prefacing their unfolding crudeness with “It gets better…” or “Hang on, not yet!”

A bit surprisingly, Saget complimented the lightning-fast signlanguage assistants numerous times, though not without targeting them for sex jokes.

“I can’t imagine someone that would drive [the signers] to drink more heavily than I already have tonight,” he said.

“By the way,” he asked at one point, “What’s the sign for ‘playing shadow puppets with my penis?” as the younger of the two shot him a dirty look.

Before thanking the audience for a night “[he’ll] never forget,” he spoke of family time interrupted by fans screaming his famous lines in public.

Whether in character or not, he said, uttering immortal one-liners like he did in Half Baked - “Marijuana’s not an addiction! Ever suck dick for coke?”

– will haunt you for the rest of your life, and that up-and-coming actors should use caution.

In conclusion, he joked that his next appearance would include sponsored colonoscopies, inspired in part by the out-of-control audience.

“I’m gonna work you guys like a Jeff Dunham puppet,” he warned.

Of all the artists inked by the outdated “chillwave” stamp, Chaz Bundick (a.k.a. Toro Y Moi) has drifted furthest from that superfluous brand of indie-pop and into live, organic disco-funk.

Freshly graduated from University of California-Berkeley at the time of its completion, June 2009 explains a lot about the graphic design major and where he comes from. Those looking for a spaced-out, less structured version of him in true UC-Berkeley fashion can find it in his cleverly titled Les Sins dance music alter-ego, along with the experimental “Sides of Chaz” project reserved for messy “stream of consciousness” recordings.

But the parked-car daydreaming on Toro Y Moi’s June 2009, a belated EP of finished demos from that summer, is not necessarily coincidental now with Bundick on Carpark Records – the Washington, D.C. label he shares with Beach House, Memory Tapes and others in his line of work.

Given the content of his first two albums, June 2009 brings us back to where the whole “chillwave” thing took root. The industry buzz came fast, centering on Neon Indian and Washed Out, and then blossomed in 2010 as people like Toro Y Moi came out of the woodwork.

In this sect of indie pop, where the dueling forces of irony and sincerity dictate who persists and who perishes, Bundick’s influences and choice of sampling marks where he so strongly shirks its conventions – from dollar-bin funk and avant-garde to dollar-bin synth-pop in this case. This is nothing new, since Bundick is an artist inspired by what serious music listeners typically run away from – late ‘70s R&B, campy film scores and reams of obscure European disco.

The raw, unedited nature of the songs is deceptively fresh, for their allusion to the joy-

ful sensation of a summer beginning is what makes them so intoxicating. Most tracks stick to three or four chords, souped-up with dirty guitar lines, live (and artificial) drums, and synth lines that bubble beneath the nasally melancholy of the vocals.

The songs also sidestep the deflated and abstract psychedelia of Neon Indian, free from dilution by grandiose metaphor or stewing in pseudo-surrealism. However, the EP comes with a few twists of fate.

The songs are no doubt inspired by the liberation Bundick felt at the time about pursuing music beyond hobbyism. And so what we get is not deep, thoughtful introspection but warm, danceable, infectious pop music.

Whether it’s a quiet train ride he takes for granted (“Take the L to Leave”), balmy rock songs that draw on recent shoegaze past and present (“Ektelon;” “Warm Frames”), or just wanting to “see one more smile” from a close friend (“Girl Problems”), he has no difficulty immersing himself in the season’s thirst for adventure.

“Dead Pontoon” might better be subtitled “Absinthe at the Yacht Club Party” for its crippling ennui, which slows the song to a halt as Bundick sings, “You’ve got to trust me…”, the song abruptly dissolving afterward.

“New Loved Ones” a solo acoustic song ripe with jazzy turns, is a gutsy cry for salvation, referencing Jesus and Mary directly as he bleeds from his eyes, unable to feel the touch of the Holy Spirit in whatever hallway he recorded the song.

You’d barely notice this, since June is a fitting soundtrack to warehouse parties, beach volleyball or even underground raves with the right personalities.

No matter where you find yourself this summer, there’s something here to trip your trigger. Meantime, the 25-year-old will paddle to the next distant frontier as those around him continue milking the music’s fundamental ironies.

An increase in guns doesn’t Costello’s departure gives athletics department a mean an increase in safety In response to: Concealed carry laws aren’t the enemy chance to move forward From its amateur inception to the highly professional level it has reached, American college sports programs have always been based on achieving one ideal: building a tightly knit, spirited community within and around the university.

The mark of a successful college sports program is one that brings together an entire campus, city and, sometimes, an entire state. When a UW alumni that graduated over forty years ago still uses a Bucky the Badger golf club cover out on the links, it’s for two reasons: the pride they take in their school’s phenomenal sports teams and the programs that keeps them connected to their university.

Still, regardless of how many fans a college’s sports teams draw in, when the program suffers a scandal, it is the students, especially the student athletes, that suffer the most. The resignation of Rick Costello as athletics director was the inevitable climax of what many in the department have alleged was a year defined by poor leadership and management. From the investigation and eventual dismissal of men’s soccer coach Chris Whalley to the six NCAA violations, it is clear the department has suffered from a calamitous lack of judgment. Veteran women’s basketball coach Sandy Botham stepping down after 16 years with the team, and amid a flurry of complaints about her coaching style, was only the icing on Costello’s cake.

All of this happened within a year,

a year which will be remembered for its multiple scandals and controversial decisions. However, many of the problems that continue to plague the athletics department have their origins dating back long before Costello came on to the scene. The department has been notoriously poor at managing its finances, and had been operating under the weight of a serious financial burden. Under the

There’s a pattern of poor management and work performance not being adequately reprimanded quickly and effectively enough at UWM, and it points to an institutional problem that extends beyond any one person or time period. last athletics director, George Koonce, academics were particularly poor among student athletes. There were even cases, according to the former academic faculty representative, of students not graduating after four years of playing on a UWM team. Under Costello, the poor academic performance of student athletes continued, despite his claim that the young men

and women of our sport’s program were “students first, athletes second.”

There’s a pattern of poor management and work performance not being adequately reprimanded quickly and effectively enough at UWM, and it points to an institutional problem that extends beyond any one person or period. It is particularly alarming that the university has kept an auspicious lid on the situation surrounding Rick Costello’s resignation. The UWM Post contacted eighteen employees in the athletics department, and all declined to provide any thoughts on the loss of their department’s leader.

Approximately $77 per student goes to pay for the salaries of the coaches and university administrators and it is therefore unacceptable that the actions of incompetent leaders be hidden by the university from the student body.

In order to move beyond the recent scandals and poor management decisions, the university must hire a director that isn’t afraid to punish bad behavior, and will refuse to keep quiet about the inner-workings of the department.

Student athletes dedicate their time and effort to this university, but this university has failed them by continuing a practice of poor leadership in the administration and allowing coaches to display extremely unprofessional behavior.

Why is it that every pro-concealed carry person thinks that: A) they’re Clint Eastwood and B) more guns in an area means a safer area? I agree that if UWM is going to enforce a concealed weapon ban they should maybe consider something more than a few signs posted at entrances to campus buildings, but I take issue with the argument that allowing concealed weapons means campus will be a safer place. Just because someone goes to a shooting range doesn’t mean they’re going to save the day when a crazed madman goes on a rampage.

Let’s just say for example that someone did go on a rampage; let’s say someone snaps and begins shooting up Spaights Plaza. We have two students and a faculty member who are carrying guns who decide to take action. Now, where innocent bystanders only had one gunman to worry about, they now have four.

And unless those gun owners have any kind of practical weapon handling experience, they’re probably going to do more harm than good.

As a combat veteran, I know that the only way to learn how to be effective with a gun while being shot at is to be shot at a lot. And even then there are no guarantees. Spending time on a shooting range doesn’t cut it in the real world.

People who think otherwise watch too many movies. Here’s another thought: no argument, no matter how heated, has ever ended in a shooting when neither party has a gun. If nothing else that’s reason enough to ban guns on campus Anonymous

Great, but not perfect In response to: Are you a member of United Council?

I used to be a huge UC fan. I pretty much fixed the ties between UC and UW-Manitowoc last year while I still attended the two year. I was highly involved in both UC and USSA. I feel that USSA is now more useful. The past year UC has been more of talking rather than doing, and people show favoritism. I like our UC buddy and have respect for most of the staff. I am also fond of the current president and vice president of UC, but feel the biased favoritism between students and a few staff members is ruining this amazing organization.

Our past buddy was a mentor and true leader and it is unfortunate that she is no longer part of the UC team.

Do I feel we should keep the organization? Yes, but beware of normal politics and favoritism. They do offer wonderful opportunities, and I was once sustainability chair until unfortunate things arose in my personal life. I think people should get involved, but feel conventions and conferences are not needed to be involved. Just contact our on campus buddy Nneka. If you are part of an organization on campus, she can help with research, stats, organizing campaigns, etc. I’m currently involved in other organizations that are more suited for me, but if you’re first getting started or are at a smaller campus that does not have something for you, then UC is great. As any major organization, it has plusses and minuses. The reasoning for SSAs such as UC is a great purpose for those wanting to outreach to other campuses.

Tiffany Strong

Mountains out of Molehills In Response to: Future of HCSA under debate I would say that these types of issues are blown way out of proportion. It seems that this issue is for the Honors College students to decide. Simply, they can vote for the current HCSA or an HCSA that looks to keep the elements of the current, but expand the purview and participation of the HCSA and make it more of a representative body.

puts a damper Employers cross line Vandalism on a good time demanding access to social media

When students damage property, residents retaliate with police reports

By Miranda Rosenkranz Columnist editorial@uwmpost.com

The corporate agenda moves forward with little public outcry

By Brian Holmes Columnist It has been a month since House Republicans have shot down a law that would have banned companies from demanding social media passwords from prospective employees as a condition for employment. Yet, surprisingly there has been little public outcry about this blatant corporate invasion of privacy.

The right wing agenda is coming to light and it is a scary place. Yet, many seem to be captivated by the fictional right wing propaganda that claims to be in the interests of the common taxpayer.

Taken from the words of Buddha: “There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.” This is an apt quote in regards to how many have taken to the extremist turn in the Republican agenda and are not bothering to research its far reaching effects or chief contributors. This is not your parent’s GOP. Legislation championed by the right continues to have corporate interests at heart, but many cling to the dream that it’s for the interest of our country. There are exceptions in the party, but as a whole its hard line politics have hampered the “lower classes” by cutting back consumer rights, busting unions, decrementing the public school system and backing companies that want to pry into employees’ personal lives.

Last month, Democrat Ed Perlmutter introduced an amendment to the Federal Communications Commission Reform Act that would have allowed the FCC to ban employers from requiring present or prospective staff to give their Facebook and Twitter passwords and/or usernames as a condition of employment. The amendment was defeated 236-184 in the House of Representatives, with all but one Republican voting against the amendment and all but two Democrats voting in favor of the amendment.

It’s ironic how many on the right can be worked up into a state of hysterical paranoia in fear of an overreaching government, yet feel perfectly at peace with an overarching corporate aristocracy.

They have filled the airwaves with misinformation, and with the help of groups like ALEC, corporations have the power to buy legislation as they see fit. This is the current state of America, and if the people do not stand up soon, it will be impossible to stop.

The Internet has given a voice to the average individual by causing an interconnectedness that would not otherwise have surfaced. It has also compromised the privacy of individuals and unless laws and amendments are passed to keep up with technology the benevolence of the internet could be outweighed by malevolence.

One only needs to use their imagination to foresee the problems that could envelope from having their employer see their political ideologies, re-

lationship status, religious affiliation and that of their “friends” as well.

Proponents of corporate snooping claim that “if one does not want people to see certain things on their social media they should not put it there.” I retort that people are given passwords and usernames for a reason: people have the right on their social media sites to accept or not accept friends and followers. Most social media users’ posts and links are meant for the eyes of friends and followers, not employers.

Facebook and Twitter are a part of modern social life. One’s social life needs to be separate from their job, unless the job wants to pay employees 24/7 for involving themselves in their employee’s free-time. Furthermore, it is plainly stated on these sites as a condition of use that one is not to give their password to anyone.

Facebook has threatened to sue over this but has showed little follow up, so it’s up to us to protect our right to privacy. Once employers require social media passwords, what’s next?

Where will it end? It needs to end now.

Congress is supposed to be working for us, not just their campaign contributors. This is time for the 18-35 year olds to flex their political muscle, since this travesty primarily affects those who fall in this age group.

Readers are strongly encouraged to rally, rant, write congress and do whatever it takes to protect the private life of workers from corporate oversight before it is too late.

Political warfare is never won

Partisan hackery is winning Washington

By William Bornhoft Columnist editorial@uwmpost.com

The structure of our 236-year-old government was, and continues to be, built on a series of political compromises made by great American leaders.

We send our politicians to Washington not to wage ideological warfare against those with differing views, but to find a common ground we can all live in.

The ability to compromise takes tremendous intelligence and humility, and is one of the most honorable skills a person can possess. Unfortunately, many of our current leaders occupying the nation’s capitol seem to equate compromise with defeat, and humility with weakness.

We’re facing one of the most polarizing, divisive political climates seen in the last hundred years. We are witnesses to one of the most gridlocked, partisan and unproductive Congresses in American history. A generation of young voters is beginning to believe that this is the norm, and bipartisanship is something only found in the history books. They may be right.

We are witnesses of bombastic cable news pundits that pit our par-

ties against each other like two sides of an endless war. We are not simply witnesses, however, but enablers.

We, the average voters, are the ones who give huge ratings to the partisan hacks on cable news. We are the ones who elected closed-minded ideologues into office, unwilling to compromise like stubborn children. As a result, the famously moderate Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe will not seek reelection because she can no longer stand the extreme polarization in Washington.

Our democratic-republic wasn’t built to operate with this level of polarization. Certain things must be changed if we ever want to see another congress that actually does its job, which is to compromise. First off, let’s tone down the rhetoric. The biggest offenders of hyperbole and sensationalism are the commentators at Fox News, MSNBC and CNN. They like to average policy debates and label them as some kind of war. If you turn on any of the big three news networks, you’ll learn how America has been engaged in an apparent “war on women” and “war on religion” for the past few months now. If we continue to build up every single political debate as a “war,” how can we expect any productive dis-

cussion and compromise on the issue?

In war, compromise does not exist, so there won’t be any.

Many people, particularly among the younger generations, acknowledged the extensive partisanship and lack of effort to compromise, but they have the wrong reaction to it.

Instead of demanding something different, something better, they become apathetic and use it as an excuse to not vote. Those who say “both sides are the problem,” check out and don’t vote are the largest contributors to a gridlocked Congress. Great compromises have been made in this nation even in the past decade, and the fact that we aren’t seeing them anymore should motivate the moderates, not discourage them.

Yes, neither side is perfect, but that’s not an excuse to skip out on Election Day, and that doesn’t mean there isn’t a right and a wrong way to solve our nation’s problems. The answer to extreme partisanship is not apathy. It’s humility, open-mindedness and being courteous when disagreements arise.

There is nothing worse than being at a party when the police show up. Everyone panics, under-agers run for the door and bros put on their big-boy gloves and insist they are not afraid of police. Most parties get busted because of noise complaints, filed by annoyed neighbors, and police reports of behavior that obstructs justice. The inhabitants of the surrounding UW-Milwaukee neighborhoods are fed up with inappropriate student behavior.

They have been taking action by reporting parties, mischievous behavior and holding meetings with police. Instead of retaliating, UWM students need to start being respectful to their communities and neighbors.

One example of bad student behavior is a recent event that occurred in the Murray Hill neighborhood. One resident has a colorful flower garden in her front yard that she tends to almost every day.

She is a friendly lady who says hello to people walking by. Recently, some vandals ripped out several of her flowers. The woman reported this to the Milwaukee Police Department. This resident has every right to have a flower garden on her property and should be respected. These actions were uncalled for and behavior like this makes all students look bad.

When taking a walk around UWM, notice the lawns covered with cigarette butts and the broken beer bottles that litter the streets and sidewalks. What is the amusement in breaking glass bottles?

Glass shatters, obviously, and shards can pop bike tires, stick into shoes and hurt people walking in the area. Also, smokers need to learn to be more responsible. This is your bad habit and no one wants to look at it. Is it difficult to put cigarettes into an

ashtray and dispose of them later? Litter irritates neighbors and is harmful to pets, children and the environment.

Another incident of vandalism occurred over a month ago. A resident of the area has decorative landscaping stones. One night, some people removed the stones and placed them in the middle of the road. In the morning, the resident had to get the rocks out of the street before someone’s car was damaged. If someone’s vehicle bottomed out, the resident could have been held liable for the cost of damages. Not only was their financial repercussions, but someone could have been seriously injured because of this prank.

In community meetings, angry citizens share anecdotes and voice concerns.

In one meeting, a resident claimed he came home one night and saw two people engaging in oral sex in the alleyway near his house. Other residents are fed up with the yelling late at night and the litter in the morning. Overall, the vandalism needs to stop.

When considering incidents such as these, can you blame someone for reporting a party to the police? In some ways, it is one of the only preventive measures residents can take. This is obviously frustrating to students who want to blow off steam on the weekend. So where is the middle ground between a pleasant community and a neighborhood full of fun?

If students start taking care of their homes, yards and others’ property, then residents will be more lenient towards loud parties. A party can be fun without woo-girls screaming, bros fighting and douchebags throwing glass off of balconies. Communal living is a give and take relationship. Some students of UWM have been taking too much and it is time to give back to the community.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The Road Ahead I have full faith that Daniel Laughland and Tereza M. Pelicaric will lead the way to repair the broken image of the UWM Student Association. I think that SA can work when the right people are leading it, and I think that the students made the right choice when picking Dan and Tereza. But I also think that it’s vital for students to have a voice when it comes to dissolution of SA and starting all over. I personally support dissolving SA and starting all over but I think this new administration and senate should be given a chance to prove that they can achieve remarkable things in their tenure. Although I wasn’t here last year to see what SA can do without scandals, I’ve seen and benefited from the results, which is why I have the faith that they can thrive and prosper. But before I go, I must work to implement the mechanisms that allow students to trigger the referendums on their own without SA’s approval to address their needs which might not be the best interests of those in power. I feel like this is the right thing to do and I will fight for it before I leave UWM. Next year I won’t be around UWM to see everything go down, for my own interests and health, I feel like this is the best thing for me to do. This year drained me to the point where it wasn’t

good for my health. Driving back and forth everyday costs me eight hours a week just for commuting! Time that I can use for myself. I was also manipulated, hurt and dragged through a scandal that no other student deserves to go through. Those reasons along with other personal reasons are the reasons why I am transferring to UW-Stevens Point.

I feel like I can work with Seth Hoffmeister and help him achieve remarkable things at Stevens Point. I also want to invest more time and energy into the United Council of UW Students and possibly even run for a board of directors spot in the United States Student Association too. Things that I can be proud of being associated with. This was no easy decision to make; this requires me to leave a lot of the friends I have made at UWM. This entails me to leave my job in which my coworkers are like an extended family. I know that moving on isn’t the easiest thing to do, but going outside your comfort zone and exploring new things is something everyone needs to do at one point in their lives. Disce quasi semper victurus; vive quasi cras moriturus!
