ALAYNA TRUTTMANN/THE DAILY CARDINALUW-Madison student Arturo “Tito” Diaz outlines four major areas of implementation in order to continue planning for the potential creation of a School of Ethnic Studies.

Students advocate forEthnic Studies schoolBy Scott BembenekTHE DAILY CARDINAL

A group of students dedicat-ed to the formation of a School of Ethnic Studies at UW-Madison met Tuesday to discuss begin-ning the formal process of creat-ing a school dedicated to study-ing ethnic groups and diversity on campus.

There are currently four programs counted as Ethnic Studies at UW-Madison. These include the Department of Afro-American Studies and the programs of Chican@/Latin@ Studies, Asian American Studies and American Indian Studies.

As a department, Afro-American Studies is the only one of the four capable of pro-viding a full faculty and having a

tenure track. The others, which are programs, are made up of professors from around campus who dedicate extra time to run-ning them.

One of the key steps out-lined by the group involved getting department status for all four parts of Ethnic Studies in the university. Once the pro-grams are made into depart-ments, they will be able to have larger faculties and provide tenure tracks.

The end goal for the group, however, is establishing a School of Ethnic Studies.

Arturo Diaz, one of the stu-dents behind the formation of Students for the School of Ethnic Studies, outlined what would need to be done to get the plans off the ground.

Among his suggestions was the creation of four working groups to formulate a budget, a potential structure, establish all four components of Ethnic Studies as departments and cre-ate relationships with faculty members and students.

This student-led move-ment is intended to prove to faculty that students are seri-ous about the need for such a school, as determined through group discussion.

“We have to be sustainable ourselves, we have to be well-organized ourselves, we have to be able to support ourselves so that we put out excellent work,” one attending student said.

The group will continue to hold meetings and lay out plans in the coming weeks.

UW math professor emeritus dies at 87By Jake SkubishTHE DAILY CARDINAL

Hans Schneider, a UW-Madison professor for more than 30 years and a mathematician whose research in classical linear algebra led to algorithms that would help develop Google, died of esophageal cancer at age 87 Tuesday.

“Hans Schneider is one of the most influential mathematicians of the 20th century in the field of lin-ear algebra and matrix analysis,” said Daniel Hershkowitz, President of Bar-Ilan University, Israel.

A professor at UW-Madison from 1959 to 1993, Schneider was named chairman of the UW-Madison mathematics department in 1966.

At 39, he became one of the youngest academics to ever attain that position at a major American research university.

To his family, Schneider was more than a mathematician.

“He was honest to a fault, extremely quick-witted and quick of mind and he adored his mathematics,” his son Peter Schneider said.

Schneider had many interests outside of mathematics and loved to travel.

“He had colleagues in Israel and Germany and really enjoyed those relationships,” his daugh-ter Barbara Schneider said.

During his time at UW-Madison, Schneider was editor-in-chief for the math journal “Linear Algebra and its Applications,” a position now filled by his colleague Richard Brualdi.

“He was very well-read and

ASM committee pushes for new language certificates

The Associated Students of Madison University Affairs Committee is working to create more language certificate options for UW-Madison students and continued campaign planning at its meeting Tuesday.

Currently, German and French are the only languages offered as certificates. Spanish is also avail-able, but only through admittance into the business school.

Other certificate options include various languages, but only when combined with addi-tional material such as culture studies or literature.

“What is the tradeoff between offering a certificate? What are departments giving up?” University Affairs Committee Chair John Paetsch said. “We saw that the benefits of creating a certificate would significantly out lay any costs incurred by stu-dents and departments.”

University Affairs Committee Intern Kate Wiedel said she and fellow ASM members have cre-ated a survey to distribute campus

wide to see how many students are interested in a language certificate.

While some departments are in complete support of creating lan-guage certifications, others are still “iffy” Wiedel said. ASM members hope to work directly with the lan-guage department heads, using the survey feedback as support.

The next step involves inter-acting with foreign language based student organizations on campus to encourage them to write letters to their respective language departments.

Paetsch encouraged stu-dents who are currently in a language class to voice their wish for a certificate. He said past certificates were created through a chain effect as stu-dents suggested it to faculty members, who recommended it to department heads.

While committee members said they hope to see more individual language certificates form soon, there is no estab-lished timeline.

BLANKENSTEIN

And you thought midterms were scary

Legend of the Olivier egg salad

This, my friends, is a story of disappointment.

A few weeks ago, while I was out around Bassett Street, I decided I was in need of nour-ishment and rather than pro-long that feeling by 20 minutes (the time it would have taken me to walk home) I decided to stop at a nearby gas station to pro-cure victuals. After extensive deliberation, I decided upon an egg salad sandwich. Reader, I erred profoundly.

Huddled in some plastic husk, it was indeed a sandwich, but only in name perhaps. When one thinks of a sandwich, one at least thinks of satisfaction, of food, of—I don’t know, grade school or something. The “salad” portion was tasteless, a little chalky and above all dissatisfying. The bread was a crusted white lie, but that’s another matter.

Which is a shame, because (and maybe I am one of the only people who feels this way)I actually love a good egg salad. I go all Special Agent Dale Cooper over a damn good plate of egg salad.

Granted, egg salad is one of the simplest dishes. In fact, most of the “salad” you find in your egg salad sandwiches is basically eggs and mayo. It’s hard to mess up. It doesn’t take eggs hand-boiled by God or some heavenly emulsion to make a good lunch. Maybe a slice of lettuce if you’re feeling fancy.

So maybe I shouldn’t have been so disappointed in that gas station sandwich. Sure, there was no lettuce, but at least it was fill-ing. And, as with most things, it

got me to thinking.Imagine the last mayo based

salad you had. Besides egg salad I guess. I don’t want to assume. Maybe a potato salad from the dorm, or a tuna salad you whipped up in your kitchen with a bit of relish squeezed from a plastic bottle. Maybe you picked up one of those fancy person lob-ster salads from the supermarket. But you see what I’m getting at: after a certain point, mayo-based salads are, in fact, just salads. Simple agglomerations of con-gealed foodbits. Nothing to lose one’s cool over. Right?

Wrong, actually. Completely, utterly wrong. What if I were to tell you—once upon a time, in mid-century Russia—there was a mayo-based salad people lost their cool over. Lost their shit over rather, just lost it all over the place.

It begins with Lucien Olivier, a Belgian man who came to own the Hermitage, a Moscow point of renown in the 1860s. He pio-neered a mayo-based salad that is the stuff of dreams: grouse, veal tongue, crayfish, capers, smoked duck and even caviar, all dolled up in a type of French wine vinegar mayonnaise. It was known as the Olivier salad, and it quickly became the Hermitage’s staple dish. Think about that: at the very same time Dostoevsky’s Underground Man was peeking out in seething resentment at the world, people were going caca over… goddamn gourmet salad.

You may wonder why you’ve never heard of this salad before (maybe you have, it’s sometimes called “Russian salad” here in the states). You’d think this recipe would be a smash at all the Russian-themed parties hap-pening (I hear it’s big among the youth right now) but guess what: you can’t. You know why? Cause Olivier took it to his grave.

What kind of salad is so good, whose quality is so inviolate, whose composition is akin to a state secret jealously sought after by enterprising restaurateurs and conniving sous-chefs, that someone would take it to their grave rather than divulge it? The frigging, goddamn Olivier salad, that’s what.

So remember that next time you’re fussing over what to eat

for lunch, loath to make a quick egg salad sandwich. Just remem-ber: somewhere in the annals of history sits a perfect plate of Olivier salad in its initial incar-nation, and it may be the best damn tasting thing to ever grace this paltry earth.

Do you have any classified information regarding the Olivier salad recipe? Email Sean at sreichard@wisc.edu.

While campaigning in Milwaukee for Mary Burke as a candidate in the upcoming Wisconsin gubernatorial elec-tion, President Barack Obama highlighted the importance of voter turnout.

“If you want something bet-ter, you’ve got to vote for her,” Obama said.

Several Democratic lead-ers also supported Burke at the event, including attorney gen-eral candidate Susan Happ, U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Wis., and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.

“We are in a real fight in Wisconsin,” Happ said.

Burke then addressed the crowd herself, saying she is reminded

every day of her deep, fourth-gen-eration Wisconsin roots.

“I’m running for governor to focus on what works for you and for your family and to lead Wisconsin to the incredible poten-tial that we have,” Burke said.

She also criticized Walker’s claim in an Oct. 17 debate that the state does not have a jobs problem.

“Everyone should get a shot as long as they put in the work,” Burke said. “Too many people are working harder than ever and not getting a shot.”

Obama echoed this con-cern and said while the nation has largely recovered from the worst economic conditions since

the depression, Wisconsin lags behind the rest of the country in job growth.

“Mary Burke knows what it takes to create good mid-dle class jobs in Wisconsin,” Obama said. “That’s what this election’s all about.”

During the most tense moment of the rally, a crowd member began heckling the president. However, the crowd responding by loudly and repeatedly chanting “Obama” to quell the protest.

“Cynicism is a choice, and hope is a better choice,” Obama later concluded. “Hope is what built America, not cynicism.”

E vidently, only men are sup-posed to ask for raises. Women who do will only

annoy their bosses and instead should simply have faith in the system and hope for good karma. This is what Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella recently stated. Although he later apologized for his “inar-ticulate” response, the fact remains that his initial answer serves to mask the tremendous gender wage gap that still exists. It also rein-forces dangerous beliefs about workplace communication, which research has found already differs in ways that generally disadvan-tage female workers.

It is very clear that women’s wages still lag behind men’s in most every industry. In 2013, the

American Association of University Women (AAUW) found that full-time, year-round female workers earned 78 percent of what their male counterparts earned. In the tech-nology industry, women earn, on average, $6,358 less than their male counterparts, and women with at least one child earn $11,247 less than all other workers, according to a study by the American Institute for Economic Research. The AAUW found that female engineers made 88 percent of their male counter-parts’ salaries, while women in the financial services industry earn $14,067 a year less than men, according to the American Institute for Economic Research.

Although there are many fac-tors that explain the gender wage gap, one of them involves exactly what Nadella denounced: nego-

tiating salary and raises. Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever reported in their 2007 book Women Don’t Ask: The High Cost of Avoiding Negotiation and Positive Strategies for Change that men are eight times more likely than women to negotiate their salary.

Another factor that likely impacts the wages women receive from the start of their employ-ment as well as through raises is the way that we are socialized to communicate. According to lin-guistics scholar Deborah Tannen, women are taught to seek praise, to apologize for issues that are not their fault, and to vent about problems rather than immediate-ly begin “solving” them. While Tannen emphasizes that these are differences not necessarily disad-

vantages, when workplaces con-tinue to be dominated by male leaders, as is the case with the tech, finance, and engineering fields, these stylistic differences may indeed result in challenges for female workers. If male boss-es see women venting, or hear a woman constantly say she’s sorry, the impression they may have is that she is less capable than her male counterpart. If female work-ers constantly need praise where-as males simply do the work, it may be perceived as excessive neediness. Again, the problem is not that females’ communication styles are bad, but that they are used in the context of a male-dom-inated setting and thus may not be understood appropriately. The disadvantages will only worsen if women are discouraged from ask-

ing their bosses for raises.As the National Women’s Law

Center points out, closing the wage gap would significantly improve the finances of not just women but families as well. They found that if women made an additional $11,608 per year, it would be enough to pay the median cost of rent and utilities for 13 months, with $400 to spare, to feed a family of four for 13 months with $300 to spare, or to pay 18 months of full-time childcare costs for a four-year old with more than $300 to spare.

So, Satya Nadella, it is essential that women learn to communicate with their bosses and to successful-ly negotiate their salary and raises!

O n November 4th we are given the opportunity to vote in the mid-term

elections. As students, we can choose to refrain from voting and allow others to make election decisions for us, or we can choose to exercise our ability to vote and actually play a decision- making role in our own futures. Your vote is your voice. It is

your opportunity to influence the future. Regardless of where your political values lie, your vote strengthens the student voice which much too often gets ignored. The more student voters, the more representation students get. Together, we can change the statistic that our age group has one of the lowest voter turnouts. Together, we can strengthen the student voice.

While it is easy to sit back and skip voting in the election,

the outcome affects you more than you realize. The officials elected on November 4th will make decisions relevant to you. The amount of money allocated to higher education dictates the price of tuition, how much financial aid students receive, availability of new university initiatives, and other university expenses.

You have the opportunity to make a difference within these issues simply by voting.

Show up at the polls November 4th and voice your opinion. #WIVote because our future depends on the decisions WE make.

Do you agree that students should seek to change voter turnout? Is there a reason they shouldn’t? Please send all feedback to opinion@dailycardinal.com.

De la Renta sophistication lives onBy Maddy HeimTHE DAILY CARDINAL

Iconic designer Oscar de la Renta, a man who fostered so many legendary creations that he became a legend himself, passed away at his home in Kent, Connecticut last Monday. He was 82.

For nearly half a century, he produced fun, feminine designs for women worldwide.

Unknown to many, he also produced a fragrance line as well as a furniture and home decor collection.

Born in 1932 in the Dominican Republic, de la Renta credited his love for color, light and the exotic to his island life, accord-ing to an interview with The New York Times.

Upon leaving his birthplace, he obtained an apprenticeship with Spanish designer Cristóbal Balenciaga, founder of the Balenciaga fashion house.

De la Renta then moved to Paris where he was offered a job working as a couture assistant at Lanvin.

Many say this was where he truly finessed his design skills and eye for women’s fashion.

The budding legend then came to New York to work under Elizabeth Arden for two years, after which he branched out and released his personal name brand in 1965.

This brand revolution-ized women’s clothing with

its emphasis on ready-to-wear ensembles, use of delicate, feminine silhouettes and vivid color palettes.

In no time at all, the name de la Renta became synonymous with effortless, highly sought-after luxury.

De la Renta dressed a myriad of celebrities over the course of his life, as well as numerous successful and distinguished women who all applauded the standard of sophistication that was never absent from his work.

His gowns became the pre-ferred wear of several American first ladies.

Jackie Kennedy and Nancy Reagan often sported de la Renta’s creations.

Later, he continued to run in political cirlces as he designed inaugural dresses for Hillary Clinton as well as Laura Bush.

The designer’s most recent work of art before his death was seen in Venice at the highly anticipated wedding between George Clooney and renowned lawyer Amal Alamuddin.

Alamuddin’s dress exuded

all the glamour and sophistica-tion expected from de la Renta.

In addition to his tremen-dous impact on haute couture, de la Renta was also a devoted philanthropist and patron of the arts.

He served on the boards of the Metropolitan Opera and Carnegie Hall, as well as sev-eral charitable organizations including New Yorkers for Children, the Spanish Institute and the Americas Society.

De la Renta also focused on altruistic work close to home; the designer founded the Casa del Niño orphanage in Santa Romana and contributed to the construc-tion of a school near his birthplace.

The legendary “sultan of suave” as dubbed by former Council of Fashion Designers of America executive director Fern Mallis, was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.

He passed away from com-plications of the disease, sur-rounded by family.

A small, private mass for relatives and close friends is to be held Nov. 4 at the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola on Park Avenue in Manhattan, accord-ing to Vogue magazine.

Adored by Hollywood stars, successful socialites and every-day design enthusiasts around the world, De la Renta’s legacy of philanthropy, finesse and fine women’s fashion will not soon be forgotten.

However, they’re also expected to take a substantial and challenging course load, maintain a high GPA, pay room and board and all the while maintain a decent balance of social activity.

There was really no reason-able way to fulfill all of these expectations until Campus Job.

Liz Wessel and J.J. Fliegelman, the founders of Campus Job, made it their goal to provide college stu-dents with a convenient and easy way to open their eyes to amazing opportunities for work during college.

While being completely free for students, the website is also incredibly user-friendly as set-ting up an account and apply-ing for numerous positions can be done in a matter of minutes.

“I found it really convenient and easy to use! The format is simple and straight-forward, which made me feel like it wasn’t as formal of a process even though the jobs being offered are top knotch,” said Claire McCauley, a junior at UW-Madison and clusterFlunk campus rep.

And these aren’t just any jobs. With a simple click on the

“Apply” button, you could apply to be a campus rep for

the NY Times, join the highly competitive Red Bull market-ing team, become a bartender at a local restaurant or even a freelance writer.

To ensure a solid fit between employers and applicants, the website allows users to create a personal profile in which stu-dents can share their experi-ences, hobbies and interests with employers.

“I applied for only a couple of jobs on Campus Job, but I connected with Clothes On so quickly and felt very lucky that a company was as interested in me as I was in them. I’m thrilled to begin the next year working for them as a campus represen-tative,” said Madison Wagner, a sophomore at UW-Madison and Clothes On campus rep.

With such an incredible array of jobs listed, college stu-dents are getting the necessary real world experience while also having fun, exploring their passions and making money along the way.

It becomes really easy for students to fall into the trap of realizing they don’t have the kind of money they’re used to and because of this discomfort, taking the first job that comes their way.

While they may solve the money problem, these posi-tions sought in desperation usually aren’t the easiest to talk about in interivews and con-vince future employers you’ve had valuable experience.

Campus Job aids students by posting jobs that not only offer them a regular paycheck, but more importantly are some-

thing they can be proud to put at the top of their resume.

The beauty of the website isn’t only in the convenience of applying, but also in the lack of wait time. The companies scanning the website are just as eager to hire students as they are to become employed.

“I signed up for Campus Job and I was so impressed with how quickly all of these big, recognizable companies were getting back to me. It was as easy as clicking a button to

receive amazing opportunities that you can’t just find around campus. I’m so happy with the job I have and the experience that I’m getting all because of Campus Job!” said Izzy Iwen, a sophomore at UW-Madison and Campus Rep for The New York Times.

Along with students here at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, students at over 500 campuses across the coun-try are taking advantage of the great opportunities that

Campus Job has to offer.So, say goodbye to the long,

Ask The Cardinalista: Finding quality pieces on a

college budget Dear Cardinalista,I love going out and getting ready with my friends, but I’m

tired of looking like every other girl at each party I attend. Are there any specific pieces that are still flattering, but a little less common?

-Jessica P.

I think this is a common problem on campus. Most girls going out want to look their absolute best, but also understand that something could very well get spilled on them at a party. For this reason, no one likes to wear expensive or valuable pieces and everyone ends up in the same cheap crop top. In my experience, I’ve had fantastic luck with my faux leather skirts and pants. They’re higher quality so I know they aren’t going to rip, but they’re also faux so they aren’t out of this world expensive. Most leather pieces come in black or brown so they can be incredibly versatile and go with many tops you already own. It’s an easy switch that’s unexpected and uncommon, but because you can find them in different silhouettes (e.g. A-line, straight and fitted, high-waisted, etc.), it remains a flattering choice.

Dear Cardinalista, I don’t have the biggest budget, but I still want to buy pieces

that will last. Are there any stores that offer reasonable prices and decent quality?

-Tara M.

This is, of course, an ideal balance. Obviously the longer a gar-ment takes to make and the more care that’s put into it, the more a store is going to charge. If you want your clothes to last, I encourage shifting from stores like Forever 21 and Tobi to Zara and Topshop. It’s still fast fashion, but on a more mature level. You’ll have to spend a little bit more up front, but the difference in quality might even save you money in the long run.

BBC’s ‘Peaky Blinders’ perfectly melds crime with history in post-war era drama

I f there’s one thing television does not lack, it’s shows about criminals. If there’s one thing

Netflix doesn’t lack, it’s acclaimed BBC dramas. “Peaky Blinders” fills both of these criteria. The BBC’s slow-burning drama about life for one gang in post-WWI Birmingham showcases life and criminality in what is undoubtedly one of the dirtiest cities I have ever seen (on television).

“Peaky Blinders” follows Cillian Murphy’s Thomas Shelby, leader of the Peaky Blinders, as he guides the gang and his fam-ily to bigger and better places. It’s great to see Murphy in a role Christopher Nolan is not involved with—he’s Scarecrow in the “Dark Knight” trilogy—and he does not disappoint. He fleshes the hell out of what is essentially Cockney Tony Soprano, adding life and strife to the Shelby patriarch. Sam Neill and Helen McCrory round out an excellent cast who don’t need to fake their accents to seem at home in post-war England.

As great as the cast is, though, the story and interwoven elements of the period are what really set “Peaky Blinders” apart. The show

takes place in 1919, soon after the end of the First World War. As such, most of the male characters are veterans of the Great War, and from the very beginning, the war casts a long shadow over the characters and their lives. “Peaky Blinders” gives a lot of insight into how veterans felt after the war ended, and more than one char-acter is haunted by their time in France. In fact, World War One plays such an important role it’s almost the main character of the story. Shelby and others turn to drugs and alcohol to dull unwant-ed memories, and almost everyone remarks on how he has changed since coming home from France.

“Peaky Blinders” also accu-rately depicts the political situa-tion of the period. Communism, not organized crime, is the main antagonist of Birmingham’s police force. The specter of the Bolsheviks is everywhere, from robberies to murders to garden-variety sedition. Neill’s character is sent to Birmingham to track down some weaponry that may have been stolen by communists, and his objectives are mostly directed around destroying their influ-ence in the industrial city. Freddy Thorn, Tommy’s best friend and comrade in France, turns to com-munism as a result of his military experience, and “Peaky Blinders” uses his character to explore the

hardship political dissidents went through in England after the Russian Revolution. There is also a significant Irish Republican Army presence in Birmingham and at the height of their power, they pose a threat to anyone who might stand in their way.

However, like any television program, the show has its faults. While it generally is excellent at portraying the time period and the nuances within, sometimes one gets the impression that “Peaky Blinders” knows how good it is, which is never something you want from a show. It’s hard to put your finger on when or why it happens, but there are moments within the show that seem too caught up in themselves to truly be effective. It also falls into many of the pitfalls of historical dramas, mostly by add-ing historical figures to the plot that have no business there. For instance, Winston Churchill plays a role that is altogether too large—there’s no reason he should be so directly involved in the minutiae of Birmingham’s events.

Still, “Peaky Blinders” is an exceptional television program, and when the second season pre-miers on Netflix in November, it will certainly pique my interest.

The Dirty Heads deliver island vibesBy Abbie RuckdashelTHE DAILY CARDINAL

In a fog-filled Barrymore Theatre Saturday night, an island emerged. A California-bred reggae band, The Dirty Heads, brought the sounds of the West Coast to Madison. Roman Ramirez, better known as Rome, the lead singer of Sublime With Rome, opened the show with a jaw-dropping solo act. He tweeted a couple hours before about how sick he was, but no one had any idea. His vocals were so smooth and drew the crowd in. The best parts of his set were at the tail end when he performed his popular songs “Eighteen,” “Terrorista,” “Seasons” and “White Girls.” The crowd knew every word to all four of these songs, singing as their bodies swayed to the rock beats his drummer and bass-ist were putting down. Rome’s sound is unique because it’s a mixture of heavy rock beats and reggae guitar riffs, creat-ing a smooth hip-hop sound a crowd can dance to. As if his set wasn’t awesome enough, he slowed things down and played a sick acoustic ver-sion of the title song of his EP Dedication that just about brought me to tears.

After a long set change, fog again filled the room as the bass dropped and The Dirty Heads took the stage. Their set consisted of songs from all four of their studio albums, includ-ing their most recent album Sound of Change. Their new album features a more preva-lent hip-hop influence. This stands in contrast to their pre-vious three, which focus on

soft rock and reggae. While I personally really like it, I know a lot of people that prefer their previous albums.

The crowd was into every song no matter if it was new or old, making for an awesome island-party atmosphere. Everyone was singing, danc-ing and just letting the music take over. The most profound moment of the show was when they did the song “End of the World.” Dirty J, one of the lead singers, said it was the most personal song he’s ever written and that his fian-cé cried when he showed it to her. It’s a heartbreaking love song, and seeing it live made it that much more emotional. My favorite part was near the end of the show when Rome came back onstage to sing their most popular single to date “Lay Me Down,” which he co-wrote. They closed the show with two new songs: “Medusa” and “My Sweet Summer.” During the encore, a giant Medusa banner fell from the ceiling, pulling peo-ple onstage to dance, includ-ing myself. I’ve never seen another band do that, and let me tell you, it was amazing.

I’ve seen The Dirty Heads three times previously and this show was hands down the best. They have a knack for creat-ing a hip-hop island trance the audience can’t break. Their shows transport you to a warm place, leaving you without a care in the world, which is why I keep paying money to see them. If you ever need to get away to an island and can’t afford a trip to a real one, I’d suggest checking out a Dirty Heads show.

RECORD ROUTINELiz Harris taps into break-up emotions on latest effort

By Mary SullivanTHE DAILY CARDINAL

There are two kinds of break-ups—a dramatic eruption of passion and anger in a be-all-end-all final blowout and a slow, fading death of passion without any fireworks and an overpowering sense of “throw-ing in the towel.” The first category is glamorized in television, movies, music and pop culture—its excite-ment and emotion lures in the audi-ence with each fight and each tear. The latter, then, is frequently over-looked because it lacks a climactic boiling point and seems uneventful to a third party. However, it is often

a far more painful experience.Portland-based Grouper, Liz

Harris, provides an exceptional soundtrack to the latter narra-tive on Ruins, a project she cre-ated in response to “living in the remains of love.” The ambient artist recorded the album alone in Aljezur, Portugal with just a portable 4-track, Sony stereo mic and an upright piano, allowing the simplicity and solitude to provoke the strongest of human feelings.

From the first track you can feel the metaphorical themes of Ruins. “Made of Metal” is a one-and-a-half minute thudding bass drum, evok-ing an ominous, bottled-up anxi-ety, like a volcano waiting to burst. But Harris’ volcano never bursts on Ruins. It leaks painfully in the desperate lyrics of “Clearing” and “Call Across Rooms,” emotional ballads that showcase Harris’ impressive (if not often enough showcased) vocals, as well as lyri-cize the overall atmosphere of the album: “Can’t you see us fading? /

Soon there won’t be anyone there” …”Maybe you were right when you said I’d never been in love.”

Ruins continues with beauti-ful piano tracks enhanced by field recording quirks like chirping cicadas throughout “Lighthouse” and a microwave beep caused by a power surge at the end of “Labyrinth.” “Holofernes” and “Holding” seem to be recorded in the midst of a southern-European rainstorm, creating an atmosphere of both despondency and comfort. Harris provides soft, vulnerable vocals throughout these tracks, augmenting the beautiful melodies and meditative ambience.

Relationships, just like every-thing else that exists, can be ruined promptly by a number of events, both intense and impas-sive. On Ruins, Harris takes a retrospective look at the aftermath of an aching, life-altering ruin in a beautiful, heart-breaking album.

Wisconsin hits the road to face PurdueVolleyball

by Sam Karpthe daily cardinal

After playing most of their games at home in the first half of the Big Ten season, the No. 5 Badgers begin the second half of Big Ten play Wednesday on the road against No. 13 Purdue (8-2 Big Ten, 18-4 overall).

Wisconsin (9-1, 18-2) is on a dominating nine game win streak, having only dropped one set dur-ing the streak. Much of the recent play by the Badgers can be attrib-uted to their stout defense.

After struggling with their blocking during non-conference games, the Badgers have turned it around by ranking second in the Big Ten with 3.00 blocks per set in conference matches.

In their last six matches, the Badgers have out blocked oppo-nents by an average of more than five blocks per match. Over this span, sophomore middle blocker Haleigh Nelson is averaging 1.72 blocks per set, redshirt senior mid-dle blocker Dominique Thompson is averaging 1.41 blocks per set and senior outside hitter Courtney Thomas is averaging 1.17.

The improvement in block-ing and backside rotations has helped the Badgers hold oppo-nents to a .145 hitting percentage in Big Ten play.

This dominating defense is in addition to a balanced offense, in which all five starting hitters are averaging 2.29 or more kills per set. This all culminated on Sunday when the Badgers beat Nebraska for the first time in 30 years.

“Our squad understands the history and the tradition and it’s been that long, it gets to the point where you say, all right, enough is enough, that’s too long,” Badger head coach Kelly Sheffield said.

While Sheffield knows this was a big win, he also knows his team has a quick turnaround and can-not get caught up in Sundays win.

“They’ve got a lefty on the right, Annie Drews is probably one of the players who is in the running for Big Ten Player of the Year,” Sheffield said. “They’ve got a three-headed monster in the middle, three different players that are awfully good ... It’s a team that can go an awful long way. I think they’re really talented.”

Sheffield may have a little extra motivation to win this game as Purdue’s head coach Dave Shondell and assistant coach John Shondell are from Muncie, Indiana, just like Sheffield.

Additionally, both coaches and Sheffield have coaching experience at Muncie Burris High School and are alumni of Ball State.

Purdue is currently second in the Big Ten behind the Badgers. Just like Wisconsin, Purdue lost to No. 6 Penn State at home but at least put up more of a fight by pushing the Nittany Lions to five sets.

The Boilermakers’ other loss came on the road to No. 10 Illinois, who Wisconsin beat on the road earlier in the season 3-1.

If Wisconsin beats Purdue on Wednesday, they will be break-ing another losing streak, as they have not beaten Purdue on the road since 2007. Wisconsin leads the overall series 39-30 but in West Lafayette, Purdue leads the series 18-15.

After the Badgers take on Purdue, they will head to Indiana for the second leg of their four-match road trip.

A new era of college foot-ball is finally upon us. Last night, the selec-

tion committee handed down its rankings from on high. Now, instead of complaining between who’s No. 2 and No. 3 we can complain about who’s No. 4 and No. 5. In a way, there’s a new paradigm in college football and, in another way, nothing has changed a bit.

no. 1 mississippi State The Bulldogs were a lock

to make the Top 4 this week. Impressive wins over LSU, Auburn and Texas A&M solid-ified that. Senior quarterback Dak Prescott is in the driver’s seat for the Heisman Trophy. The only real knock on the Bulldogs is their less than stel-lar defense, but you can’t argue with success, and an undefeat-ed record in the SEC West is as good as gold.

However, in order to claim the top spot come Jan. 1, they’ll have to go to Alabama, to Ole Miss and win an SEC title game in Atlanta. Mississippi State has done everything right so far, but there’s still a lot of work to be done. That being said, everyone and their moth-er expected this team to be atop these sacred rankings.

no. 2 florida State Florida State has certainly

looked much more vulnerable this season compared to their title march last year, but they’re still in the same undefeated boat with Mississippi State.

Close calls against Oklahoma State, Clemson, NC State and Notre Dame make the Seminoles look less fearsome than last year, but on the flip side, they know how to grind out close games.

The Jameis Winston soap opera rages on in Tallahassee, but the Noles continue to not get distracted. Their big test is tomorrow when they travel to Louisville. Florida State hasn’t lost a football game since 2012, so it is no surprise that they have a seat as one of college football’s new Knights of the Round Table.

no. 3 auburn Now things get interesting!

The Auburn Tigers enter the list at No. 3 with their only loss coming to No. 1 Mississippi State. The Tigers are a very talented football team led by their dynamic quarterback Nick Marshall. I think the same argument applies to them that applies to FSU, they were a last second play away from winning it all last year.

Everything has a tenden-cy to go to hell following the top two spots because the selection committee simply is choosing between about 16 one-loss teams from Power 5 conferences (Sorry Marshall, I believe in you).

I can’t say I’m too surprised the committee went with Auburn considering the Tigers’ one loss seems to be the high-est possible quality. It came to the best team in the country according to the committee.

The Tigers still have a lot of work to do, especially if they want to make it to the SEC Championship in Atlanta let alone the final in Arlington. Their big matchups include a

trip to Oxford this Saturday to take on Ole Miss, a battle with Georgia Nov. 15 and the Iron Bowl Nov. 29.

no. 4 ole miss Now things get even more

interesting! Ole Miss crapped all over themselves in Death Valley in a 10-7 loss to LSU. Now, they’re back in the disturbing jumble of one-loss teams.

This is the only selection that is perplexing. Under the qual-ity loss argument used to put Auburn at No. 3, I think this spot should go to Notre Dame, seeing that they also lost to one of the top teams in the rankings.

However, this Ole Miss selection sends an interesting precedent and might dispel the old standing “don’t lose too late” argument.

That’s the idea playing out in the AP Poll right now with Alabama up at No. 3. They lost earlier than Ole Miss so they’re higher. I’m glad to see the com-mittee evaluating teams with this new approach, but Ole Miss doesn’t strike me as the second best one-loss team.

Every college football team will have a crap game. That’s what happens when your team is comprised of 75 col-lege kids. That being said, Ole Miss looked bad last weekend. Really bad. Based on the eye test, I think this spot should go to TCU, whose one loss was a heartbreaker on the road at Baylor, in a game that could eas-ily have gone either way.

Regardless of whether you agree or disagree, the commit-tee’s rankings will be turned upside down and run through a meat grinder come Jan. 1. It’ll certainly be fun. See you next week committee!

Impressions from the first College Football Playoff rankings

New season should bring new shifts in roster for UW

emily buCK/cardinal file photoexpect nigel hayes to take more of a ball-handling role this year.

by Jack baerthe daily cardinal

Returning the entirety of a Final Four team save one high-vol-ume shooter in guard Ben Brust, you wouldn’t blame head coach Bo Ryan for changing as little as possible with his team. However, judging from what has been seen in practice and the Red/White Scrimmage, there are some chang-es coming to the rotations.

All expected changes in roles stem from two questions: “Who takes Brust’s starting spot?” and “Who takes his minutes at guard?”

If I had to hazard a guess on the first question, it’s sophomore forward Nigel Hayes. The 2013-’14 Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year looks like he’s adopted a role much closer to the small forward role than last season, where he spent most time as a more tradi-tional bruising big man.

In the scrimmage, Hayes attempted four 3-pointers (he attempted none last year) and moved with the ball around the perimeter much more than we’ve come to expect from him.

This role should shift junior

forward Sam Dekker into more of a power forward spot, where he might be better suited due to the star’s apparent offseason growth spurt. The new Hayes and Dekker look like they could complement each other nicely as starters.

As for the minutes at guard, it looks like there will be a battle between redshirt sophomore Zak Showalter and sophomore Jordan Hill.

Showalter saw real minutes as a freshman before redshirting last year and is known for fitting the strong defense and rebound-ing requirements of the tradi-tional Wisconsin guard. If he can make any strides offensively, he’s an ideal guard for Ryan.

Hill is an interesting case, one of the least-heralded recruits in last year’s six-man recruiting class. Since riding the bench pretty much all of last year, Hill has revolution-ized his game over the offseason. His deep shot seems much more reliable and his athleticism means he could be a true asset defensively.

Much more will change in the roster, but those two things seem the most apparent now.
