Uw panel discusses financing higher edBy Molly reppenthe dAily cArdinAl

Chancellor Biddy Martin, for-mer Kimberly-Clark Executive Kathi Seifert and UW Board of Regents President Charles Pruitt held a panel to discuss financing public higher edu-cation Wednesday at a Public Representation Organization of Faculty Senate event.

Martin said her Badger Partnership proposal, which attempts to gain more autonomy from the state and increase need-based aid to students through

a tuition increase, is a possible way to keep Wisconsin a great place for education, research and development.

The panel discussed how UW-Madison can help the state of Wisconsin from an educa-tional standpoint.

“Arguably, the state needs more graduates. But not just any gradu-ates, but graduates with a kind of education that prepares them for the challenges of the 21st century,” Martin said. “The state also needs more jobs, urgently.”

According to Martin, the state

of Wisconsin is below average for faculty salaries, while the states’ health and other benefits are much ahead of other states.

Martin said UW-Madison needs financial support from the state to help subsidize the growing costs of research and other academic expenses as the university becomes increasingly competitive internationally.

“Even maintaining the quality of research and education that we have now costs more now than it

Obama rally to take place at Library Mall

President Barack Obama will speak on Library Mall Tuesday to kick off his Moving America Forward tour in preparation for the upcoming midterm elections, according to the Democratic National Committee.

The rally will be free to the pub-lic. The site will open at 3:30 p.m. and the event will begin at 4:45 p.m.

“The president is extreme-ly excited,” Derrick Plummer, regional press secretary for the DNC, said. “It’s going to be a great start to the last five weeks of this very important campaign.”

Singer-songwriter Ben Harper will also appear at the rally and perform for the crowd, according to Plummer.

“Young people have been criti-

cal to the movement that elected President Obama in 2008, and from health reform to credit card and student loan reform young people benefited from the change President Obama and Democrats have brought to the country,” DNC Chairman Tim Kaine said in a statement.

The event will mark the presi-dent’s sixth visit to the state since assuming office in 2009.

“It shows how important Wisconsin is to the president and to the Democratic party,” Plummer said.

President Obama will be the first sitting president to appear at UW-Madison since President Harry Truman’s visit to campus in 1950.

Urban Design grants Edgewater final approval

west nile Virus diagnosed in wisconsinThe Wisconsin Department

of Health Services reported the year’s first human case of West Nile Virus in the state.

A Washington County resident was diagnosed with the virus during an ordinary blood donation screen-ing. The Blood Center of Wisconsin has since destroyed all of the blood samples from the patient.

After the diagnosis, the patient expe-rienced mild West Nile symptoms.

The DHS said symptoms of the virus can include fever, head-ache and rash within three to 15 days after contracting the virus.

However, the chances of contracting West Nile are slim and many with the disease do not even experience symptoms, according to the DHS.

Although this is the first human

case of West Nile in 2010, it has been reported in three groups of mosquitoes and three dead birds.

The DHS recommends resi-dents take steps toward pre-venting contraction of the dis-ease, including keeping window screens repaired, using repellant and avoiding the outdoors at dawn and dusk.

The Urban Design Commission granted the Edgewater Hotel expansion final approval in an 8-2 vote Wednesday.

Edgewater architect David Manfredi, of Elkus Manfredi Architects, presented the com-mittee plans, which he said have remained the same since the plans were last proposed.

Manfredi said his desire is to maintain the historical character of the current Edgewater building and work on blending it with the proposed addition.

“These buildings talk to each other in a fundamentally organi-zational way,” Manfredi said.

“This is a rehabilitation proj-ect,” Manfredi added. “The goal is to put the building back together the way it was originally on its exterior.”

Even with the approval, a large

concern for community and com-mittee members alike is the level of disturbance the new lighting on the building may cause.

“This is not a Las Vegas façade,” architect Ingrid Masters said. “We are at the lower end of lighting, but we don’t want dark-ness. Our priorities are to blend with the neighborhood. We have decided to err on the conserva-tive side.”

Committee members ques-tioned whether these lighting concerns take precedence in the finalization of the Edgewater plans.

“We would love a residential-looking building. A heavily lit building is highly inappropriate for this district. We expect it to be like the rest of the neigh-borhood,” an opposing resident said.

Additionally the committee decided to move forward with

plans for a new West Mifflin Street apartment complex.

Architect John Bieno present-ed his tentative plan for a new 42-unit apartment complex to the committee.

Committee members respond-ed with concern regarding the structure and overall design of the proposed complex.

“In this neighborhood it should look like an apartment, not like an apartment build-ing that’s trying to look like a home. I want to see something more urban,” committee member Melissa Huggins said.

Committee Chairperson Richard Wagner echoed Huggins’ statements, saying, “There is no design coherence.”

Ald. Marsha Rummel, District 6, concluded by saying the plans are “not quite there yet.”

“We’re still in the preliminary stages,” Bieno said.

Y ou know what’s fun? Naively identifying with songs that have no rela-

tion to you whatsoever. When I was a child, carrying my Power Rangers lunchbox in one hand and practicing “rock, paper, scis-sors” strategies with my other, I’d innocently sing songs about slapping booty as I made my way to school. Throughout my life it seems as though my enthusi-asm for a catchy beat has made me lose friends, gotten me in trouble or made me question if I’m having an identity crisis. Here are some examples:

1. In kindergarten, if you knew what was good for you, you joined baton club. A) The instructor was the kindergarten teacher so it meant you could bide more time with her. If you were a cool kid like me, that of course meant she’d secretly pick you as her favorite and thus she’d give you more stickers on your homework. B) There was an annual baton show where you got to flaunt your moves in front of the whole freaking school. C) Do you really need another reason?

Weeks before the show, my routine was planned and I had my sweet, sweet moves down pat, but I still needed to find a song to rock the house with. I have two older brothers, so, naturally, I sought their guid-ance. Basically they told me if I wanted to be idolized by the student body, there was only one song that could truly put me on the map—“Peaches” by The Presidents of the United States of America. I gave the song a listen and confidently decided it would be the anthem that brought me glory.

The big day came and I was more nervous than Smalls when he is trying to catch a ball for the first time in “The Sandlot.” After a myriad of Disney songs were played for other girls’ per-formances, I was up. Sporting acid wash overalls and a blind-ing bright orange shirt, I took the floor. Three minutes and 15 missed baton catches later, I was on the map all right. I’m sure to the older kids I became “the headbanging girl with blunt bangs who had music taste way beyond her years.” To the kids my own age I probably became “Kathleen: the strange girl; steer clear of her.” If I had 17 friends (that’s being generous) prior to the performance, it definitely plummeted to around three (tops) by the end of the day.

2. In second grade I memo-rized Snoop Dogg’s “Gin and Juice” and taught the lyrics to my friend Sam, because I obvi-ously had to share with her the storyline that embodied our entire seven years of existence. “I got b*tches in the living room gettin’ it on / And they ain’t leavin’ til six in the morning.” Yeah, we basically wrote that. So we were spitting out Snoop’s hot rhymes on the playground when a nun overheard us drop a swear word. She made us stay after school and write on the board in our limited vocabulary, “I will not say bad words. They hurt God’s ears,” 100 times. Honestly, I don’t think that did the trick. What she really needed to do was put a muzzle on me.

3. Despite TLC explicitly tell-ing their listeners what a scrub is A) a guy that thinks he’s fly, B) also known as a ‘buster,’ C) always talking about what he wants, D) sits on his broke ass—I still don’t think at the age of 10 I truly knew what a scrub was. But, that was a minor detail; nothing would get in the way of me singing the song at the top of my lungs. What was the first album I ever bought, you ask? Well, that, my friend, was the Mary Poppins soundtrack. Second purchase was Spice Girls, duh! Third was TLC’s Fan Mail because they were just preaching the story of my life and I couldn’t pass up paying respect where respect was due. TLC for sure wrote “No Scrubs” for me; I had so many boy troubles back then.

4. The first song that I actually considered the mean-ing behind the lyrics was Joan Osborne’s “One of Us?” My brother and I were riding our bikes and I had one of those bad boys that had a boom box attached to the handlebars. Like a couple of goons we were sing-ing along and that’s when it hit me. I thought to myself, “What if God WAS one of us? Holy moly! If God is my brother, that guy riding his bike right next to me on this gravel road, then God really likes McDonald’s breakfast, has a chronic nasal problem and sleeps with his mouth open.” In the middle of this epiphany I was spacing out so much I didn’t notice the approaching curb. Thanks for nothing, Joan and your exis-tential lyrics; where can I send you the hospital bill for that broken arm?

Does anyone know what became of Scotty Smalls, or bet-ter yet, what became of Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez? They were both easy on the eyes. If you know of their whereabouts, or if you have songs you belt out but shouldn’t, talk to me at [email protected].

ASM discusses leave policy, gives homecoming grantBy Anna DuffinThe Daily CarDinal

The Associated Students of Madison decided to grant $19,185 to help fund UW-Madison’s homecoming celebration this year and debated a member’s leave of absence request at their weekly meeting Wednesday.

The nearly $20,000 to be rewarded to the UW Homecoming Committee will cover expenses such as printing, advertising, space and equipment rentals.

Nominations Chair Andrea Nichols requested a leave of absence from Sept. 29, 2010 until Dec. 20, 2010.

The leave of absence would mean Nichols would remain nomi-nations chair, but would not attend ASM meetings during that speci-fied time period.

Student Services Finance Committee Chair Matt Manes said he understands Nichols is busy, but she should still attend meetings.

“She’s just really, really busy right now and wants to stay involved, but right now really just isn’t the time for her to do that,”

said Manes.The chair of nominations is

paid a stipend of $3,500 per year.Some members said it is not fair

for someone in a paid position to not attend meetings.

“I think that a paid position inside of student council cannot be too busy,” said Shared Governance Chair Kyle VandenLangenberg.

Other members said that although ASM is important, stud-ies must be a top priority.

“We are all students when we’re doing our jobs here. I think that’s extremely important for everyone to recognize,” said former ASM Chair Tyler Junger.

ASM did not reach a decision regarding the requirements of the chair of nominations position.

Nichols did not attend the meeting and declined to comment.

ASM members also dis-cussed minor alterations to the bylaws, which include changing the name of “Academic Affairs Committee” to “University Affairs Committee” and allow-ing meeting agendas to be more flexible.

The proposed plans for retro Tavern on West Main Street spark controversy at neighborhood meeting on Wednesday.

Tensions rise at neighborhood meeting over proposed barBy Grace GleasonThe Daily CarDinal

Heated debates developed at a neighborhood meeting Tuesday over the potential alcohol licens-ing of the proposed Retro Tavern at 111 West Main St.

The majority of the neigh-borhood’s residents present at the meeting expressed strong opposition to the Retro Tavern’s potential service of alcohol.

Madison residents and stu-dents alike were concerned about the late-night noise the bar’s patrons might bring into their neighborhood. Some resi-dents present at the meeting were concerned about the lack of diversity on a block with all bars and taverns.

However, a few were sup-portive of new life in a space that has been vacant for several years. Nearby neighbor Erin Decker and several other residents were willing to accept the tavern as part of their community.

“When I think of the alterna-tive business owners who could come in here, I think this is a nice alternative,” Decker said.

The applicants, father-and-son team Curtis and Matt Brink, offered their plan for the tavern at the meeting. The tavern would be a 9,600 square foot, three-story space used as a restaurant, bar and live music venue.

The Brinks, also owners of the High Noon Saloon and Brink Lounge in Madison, said they hope the tavern will be a place to dine, host parties or play pool in the game room upstairs.

“We would be catering to an older crowd,” Matt Brink said.

Attendees of the meeting were able to suggest conditions of the tavern’s license, such as the maximum occupancy and closing hours.

Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said feedback from this public meeting will be greatly taken into consideration when the Brinks apply for an alcohol license before Madison’s Alcohol License Review Committee Sept. 29.

“What I’m going to do is take all of the input under advisement,” Verveer said. “I still have mixed feelings.”

DA Kratz removal process ready to goBy Ariel ShapiroThe Daily CarDinal

Gov. Jim Doyle announced Wednesday he will proceed with the removal process for Calumet County District Attorney Kenneth Kratz as he received two formal complaints from County residents.

“Today I received a verified complaint against DA Kratz and I have begun the process to remove him from office,” Doyle said in a statement. “As a former three-term District Attorney and a for-mer three-term Attorney General I have worked hard to protect victims of crime, and I am deeply troubled by the accounts of DA Kratz’s actions.”

Heather Severson of Appleton, Wis., and Kathleen Gloff from Chilton, Wis., each filed a com-plaint against Kratz, who has been accused by numerous women of sexual harassment and abuses of his position.

Neither Severson nor Gloff said they were personally harassed by Kratz, but they each said in their complaints that they sym-pathize with the victims, particu-larly with Stephanie Van Groll, a domestic abuse victim, for per-sonal reasons.

Gloff, a volunteer with Harbor House Domestic Abuse Programs, said she is deeply concerned by Kratz’s conduct, and believes it con-stitutes “inefficiency, neglect of duty, official misconduct or malfeasance.”

Severson said she has a particu-lar interest in the issue because of a friend she once lost to domestic violence.

“If speaking out changes the way one person thinks about domestic violence, I have done my job,” she said in her complaint.

Doyle took the next step of the removal process and appointed Kenosha County District Attorney Bob Jambois as commissioner of the case.

“I want every crime victim, par-ticularly those of sensitive crimes such as domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse to know they can go into a police station or a prosecutor’s office and be treated in a professional and respectful man-ner,” Doyle said.

ever has, and the cost of maintaining that quality will continue to grow,” Martin said. “That is because of the competitiveness internationally.”

UW-Madison professors are paid based on competitive markets between professor salaries at other higher-education institutions.

According to Pruitt, with the challenges the university faces, it needs to run as a business in order to be more efficient economically.

“If we are to be challenged as a university system to behave more like a business, I would think that we may ought to have more flex-ibility and behave like a business,” Pruitt said.

Seifert said education has a direct correlation between higher-paid jobs and job growth within the state of Wisconsin.

“I think that communicating [with the legislature] and helping them appreciate and understand how everything is linked together, they will appreciate the importance of having a high quality of educa-tion in the state of Wisconsin,” Seifert said.

UW professor projects $3.1 B deficitUW-Madison professor of pub-

lic affairs and applied economics Andrew Reschovsky predicted the Wisconsin deficit to increase to $3.1 billion in the next biennium.

In a report released this week, Reschovsky used the Wisconsin Legislative Fiscal Bureau’s evalua-tion of the state’s fiscal condition and then factored in the cost of maintaining public services at the level they are now.

The LFB projected a deficit of $2.88 billion for the next bienni-um, which accounts for the budget between 2011-2013.

Reschovsky said in order to maintain major public services such as education and medical assistance, spending will need to increase by 1.75 percent a year on

the conservative end. The average yearly rate of growth since 2000 is 2.5 percent.

“There are two reasons why the cost of public service grows over time. First, the state’s popu-lation is growing,” he wrote. “Second, the state government has limited control over the pric-es it must pay to purchase goods and services.”

Although Reschovsky said greater efficiency in spending could help reduce the deficit, more needs to be done.

“Policymakers will need to close the fiscal deficit by cutting spend-ing, increasing state revenues, or a combination of the two approach-es,” he said.

A ir pollution and a depleting oil supply are two things we know we contribute to.

But what are we doing about it? Scientists at UW-Madison

are currently researching ways to replace coal, oil and natural gas with biofuels, solar energy and wind energy.

Research facilities on cam-pus such as the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center and the Wisconsin Bioenergy Initiative are at the forefront of research in renewable energy.

“At this current rate [of con-sumption] we’ll run out of oil,” said Troy Runge, director of the Wisconsin Energy Institute. “We are a long time from that, but at the same time, it will take us a long time to [convert to using] biofuels.”

Biomass like trees, grasses and corn can be converted into energy to fuel cars and generate electricity. This biofuel is just one of the many alternatives to non-renewable ener-gy sources like coal and oil.

According to Runge, however, biofuels will not be widely used in the U.S. so long as there is no market for it.

His lab currently takes cheap biomass and converts it into use-ful products like levulinic acid and solid fuel, used to create energy in a cleaner way than coal.

“I’m excited that we’re actually making [biofuel] where compa-nies can actually commercialize it, because we are utilizing a very cheap feedstock and we’re maxi-mizing value in several streams,” Runge said.

Runge’s biological systems engi-neering lab has been open for just over a year.

“We have some neat discover-ies here that are just starting, and working with other researchers,” Runge said, especially the research he is doing alongside Jim Dumesic, a professor in the department of chemical and biological engineer-ing. Earlier this year, Dumesic’s breakthrough discovery was con-verting cellulose—a biomass—to fuel using catalysis, a type of chemical reaction. Runge’s lab is currently working on all processes

of converting biomass to fuel in an economical way.

Pamella Wipperfurth, a second year master’s student in Biological System Engineering, is doing research in Runge’s lab. She is working to optimize the energy potential of biomass, specifically ligdocellulose biomass.

Wipperfurth’s goal is to “pre-treat” biomass in the most energy-efficient way, breaking it down to a product that can be transformed into fuel.

“I’m comparing the heat-ing value of the final solids,” Wipperfurth said. “The heating value would tell me how much energy they produce.”

The final solids will produce energy when they are combusted, in the same way coal is burned to create energy.

Tim Donohue, Director of the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center, is also working on cre-ating renewable energy. The GLBRC’s mission is to generate liquid transportation fuels from a cleaner source.

“Right now when you go to the gas station, maybe it has 10 percent ethanol in it, and that ethanol comes from corn starch in the United States,” Donohue said. “We’d like to be able to infiltrate biofuels into as many engines as we can.”

“Our technology that we’re studying at GLBRC is not produc-ing any of the ethanol that goes in your car today. We are generat-ing next generation technology to make liquid transportation fuels from the non-edible part of the plant [called cellulose].”

GLBRC focuses on liquid transportation fuels because they account for approximately one-third of the country’s energy use, according to Donohue.

“We’re working on helping to diversify a third of the energy grid and at best,” Donohue said, “Congress and the country would be ecstatic if we could replace a third of the fossil fuels that goes into automotive, jet, and plane engines with cellulosic fuels by 2030.”

This fall, the university will

begin constructing the Wisconsin Energy Institute to bring together researchers from the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences and the College of Engineering to work together on creating tech-nology to produce clean energy. The WBI and the GLBRC will be the two primary occupants of the new building.

“We’re creating a whole new field here,” Donohue said. “This center is both solving today’s prob-lems but also training the leads in the fields for tomorrow.”

According to Runge, however, renewable energy research is not free from criticism. Critics ques-tion why companies are not yet using more biofuels after years of research.

“The public is used to things happening at a faster pace,” Runge said. “If [integrating biofuels] takes 20 years, and we don’t see gas prices going down, and don’t see it making a personal impact on people’s lives …people just move onto the next thing and say, ‘Well it’s not that important.’”

But the conversion will take some time.

By far the biggest criticism has been a question of economic feasi-bility, Runge said.

“When you make the argument that we need to be using biomass, it makes a lot of sense when you talk about liquid transportation fuels, but it is a harder argument to make about coal because the U.S. has a lot of coal that will last us a long time,” Runge said.

The Wisconsin Energy Institute will provide both graduate and undergraduate students with opportunities to research renewable energy and advance the replace-ment of fossil fuels.

But, according to Troy Runge, the institute is not just about research. Education and outreach will be on the first floor of the institute.

“Outreach is as important as the research and it gets lost in the shuffle,” Runge said. “We want to bring people in and want people to see that this is the kind of research that is going on. It is supposed to be this portal to the energy research going on in the university.”

The goal with outreach is to remind people that every time some-one fires up the car engine, flips on a light switch or turns on the furnace, they use up more resources, both from overseas and the domestic supply.

“Hopefully when students in this research area move out into the business world, they will continue

that kind of research and invest in those ideas,” said UW-Madison Faculty Associate in the Nelson Institute of Environmental Studies Richard Shaten said. “And hope-fully people will learn about their own consumption behavior.”

Donohue highlighted the educational aspect of the new center.

“These two institutions have a unique mission of education and training of students,” Donohue said. “Embedded in our mission is also providing student training and research opportunities to do that.”

UW-Madison faculty and sci-entists are not alone in converting Wisconsin to using renewable energy.

The Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center has roughly 100 undergraduate students and 75 PhD students researching renew-able energy, according to Donohue.

“This is a critical opportu-nity in an academic institution to expose students to research that will be at the forefront of the renewable energy revolution,” Donohue said. “It’s an exciting time for a student to be involved in the definition of what could be a totally new transformative renewable energy sector for the country and the world.”

I ’ve got a short attention span. Real short. So while I can certainly appreciate long-

winded mixtapes and extended double LPs, I usually skip around or occupy myself elsewhere while Sonic Youth keeps track of time in the background. Generally speaking, I prefer music pocket-sized, often in the form of EPs or 7" records.

I guess I’m not the only one, either. In the past calendar year, more and more artists seem to be embracing the art of the extended play record.

The EP was created in the 1980s by record labels and bands looking for an easy promotional tool. Labels would pick the choice nugs from the bands’ LPs and ship them off to disc jockeys who would sift through them and cir-culate the hit singles over the radio. Likewise, venue employ-ees would hear these brief snip-pets and decide which bands they wanted to book at their joints.

But nowadays, most promo-tional work is done over the Internet. A few thousand bands and record labels send mp3s and press releases to a few million e-mail inboxes, and everything else just sort of happens all the same. As far as promotion is concerned, the EP has been streamlined into solitary mp3s.

But people still produce EPs and 7" records. A lot of them. Most of you will remem-ber the hullabaloo generated by Sufjan Stevens’ unannounced All Delighted People EP just a few weeks ago, but even that seemed more like a clearinghouse of old ideas than something as deliber-ate as, say, Freddie Gibbs’ Str8 Killa EP.

Str8 Killa is nowhere near as accomplished as Gangsta Gibbs’ longer mixtapes, but it does serve as a fi tting introduction to a gangster rapper who takes no prisoners. It brought one of underground rap’s most heralded talents to an audi-ence that couldn’t always stomach the extended vulgarities or harsh street narratives.

Other bands wield the EP for different purposes. Japandroids are an excitable garage-rock duo from

Vancouver, British Columbia, who are as lovelorn as they are spunky. They broke it big early last year with their explosive, albeit brief debut LP, Post-Nothing. But while they’ve spent the time since touring their fun-loving live show across the globe, they’ve stayed in our collective conscious by introducing a series of 7" records on Polyvinyl label.

The series includes fi ve previ-ously unreleased tracks from the band’s Post-Nothing sessions, each paired with a cover. The EPs are slated for periodic release through-out the year, ostensibly culminat-ing in the kind of anticipation that would eagerly purchase a brand new LP shortly thereafter.

Likewise, Tallest Man on Earth recently released an iTunes exclu-sive EP entitled Sometimes the Blues is Just a Passing Bird. The fi ve new

songs on the EP serve as a gentle reminder that Kristian Matsson is maybe the most pure, prolifi c trou-badour we’re likely to hear.

Beach House did the same on their own recent iTunes ses-sions—though those songs did little more than remind us that the kind of full-bodied beauty on their 2010 release, Teen Dream, is not easily replicable.

But while Beach House might not have really helped their cause for Teen Dream’s lasting rel-evance, they didn’t do much to hurt it, either. The EP is a low-cost maneuver because it requires very little investment from us lis-teners—we can just as easily dis-

card it as we can use it as a launch pad into a new favorite artist.

Sure, it’s extremely impressive when a rapper can freestyle so well over 18 tracks in one week; and there’s something really powerful about the way certain bands seem to meld meaty themes and subjects into long-form albums. I totally get into the kind of intellectual stimuli that challenge contemporary narra-tive structures. I like all that stuff. But there’s a lot going on over the Internet, and sometimes I need an abridged version to tell me whether or not I’m wasting my time.

No messing around in Affl eck’s “Town” Starring as the film’s primary actor and director, Ben Affleck puts the “boss” back in BostonBy Todd StevensTHE DAILY CARDINAL

“The Town” begins with the tried and true Hollywood staple of the bank robbery scene, and much like a Bruce Springsteen concert, all the old hits are there. You have the meticulous band of thieves monitoring the entrance, bursting violently into the bank, yelling at customers and staff to get down on the floor. The calm, collected leader reminds every-body that their money is insured and they have no incentive to fight back. The hot-headed mem-ber grabs the most attractive woman on the bank’s staff and forces her to open the vault. The bandits grab all the cash they can handle, take the attractive bank employee hostage and make their getaway.

It’s a scene the world has seen dozens, possibly hundreds of times before in movies. But it’s also executed with absolute cine-matic perfection, something very few heist films can claim.

That is what keeps “The Town,” the sophomore directo-rial effort of Ben Affleck, from collapsing under the weight of its clichéd storyline. The plot is very simple: Bandit robs bank. Cops chase bandit. Bandit tries to get out of the game. Bandit goes out for one last score. It’s about as original as a ham sandwich, but it’s a delicious ham sandwich.

Affleck has followed up his excellently crafted debut, “Gone Baby Gone,” with an even more finely tuned follow-up. And while the entire movie isn’t quite as flawless as the opening sequence, the former Mr. J-Lo is undoubt-edly a force to be reckoned with behind the camera.

Most notably Affleck exhib-its a knack for setting. More than any one character or any nail-biting heist, “The Town” is

about its title locale, the Boston neighborhood of Charlestown. The movie bills Charlestown as the bank robbery capital of the world, but what is more impor-tant is Affleck’s depiction of the neighborhood as an inescapable blue collar purgatory.

Affleck’s Charlestown is a place where the working class are forced to turn to thievery or dealing Oxycodone in order to make ends meet, all while watching yup-pies encroach on their home turf. Thankfully Affleck doesn’t fall into the trap he found in “Gone Baby Gone,” where he haphaz-ardly threw in images of abject poverty to the point of overkill. Instead, he focuses on the charac-ters’ dueling conflict between the longing desire to leave for greener pastures and the urge to preserve one’s childhood home.

Nowhere is that conflict bet-ter exhibited than the relation-ship between the two noteworthy bandits from the opening scene. Affleck himself plays the calm, collected brains of the quartet, someone who is clearly too smart to stay confined but unable to break free of the Charlestown chains. Meanwhile, Jeremy Renner of “The Hurt Locker” fits nicely into the part of the hot-headed best friend who has simply put too much of his life into Charlestown to ever think of abandoning his home. Both roles, much like the plot, have seen countless prior renditions,

but Affleck and Renner have enough screen presence to make this an irrelevant detail. Rebecca Hall adds additional talent in her role as the shell-shocked bank employee that serves as Affleck’s love interest, as does Blake Lively as his former flame. Jon Hamm rounds out the ensemble well with a gleefully unlikeable perfor-

mance as the lead FBI agent.Unfortunately, the setting

does manage to become over-bearing at points. The film’s third act centers on a robbery of Fenway Park, just to make sure everybody remembers the movie is set in Boston–as if the accents, Red Sox attire and countless shots of the Zakim

Bridge weren’t enough of a hint.But for the most part, “The

Town” avoids these missteps, instead perfectly matching the steps of its predecessors. It may be the exact same concoction, but it’s crafted with choice ingre-dients, and that’s just enough to ensure the continued success of the revived Affleck brand.

[“The Town”] is about as origi-nal as a ham sandwich, but

it’s a delicious ham sandwich.

He may have lost J-Lo, but Ben Affl eck hasn’t lost his way with the ladies. Affl eck can’t keep his eyes–or his arms–off “Gossip Girl” Blake Lively.

By Donnie RadcliffeOPINION COLUMNIST

I ’m sure you remember “I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house down!” Since

we were little kids, we have learned to fear the wolf, the “savage” killer. Their eerie howl causes chills to run down the spine of anyone in earshot. In reality, the wolf is a vital predator, essential to the ecosystems it inhabits. In recent years, Wisconsin has been blessed with the reintroduction of wolves following migration from upper Minnesota. Lately, however, this blessing has become too much of a good thing.

Wolf populations have grown beyond their carrying capacity, endangering their habitat. For this reason, the grey wolf of the Western Great Lakes Distinct Population Segment (consisting mostly of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan) was removed from the Endangered Species List in 2009, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Unfortunately, lawsuits from the Humane Society of the United States and other groups have suc-cessfully put the grey wolf back on the list. This denies the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources the hunting power they need. It’s simple: since there are too many wolves, we need to remove them from the endangered species list so the DNR can carry out a con-trolled harvest.

In 1999, the Wisconsin DNR formed a management plan, set-ting a goal for wolf recovery at 350 animals in the state. They estimated the state carry-ing capacity at around 500, but at the time these guidelines were set, the wolf population was esti-mated at about 205. Just 11 years later, the wolf population is estimated to be 690. In that short time span, the population almost tripled, almost doubling the DNR goal. This year, wolf numbers are 190 above the esti-mated carrying capacity.

Without human intervention, wolf numbers are controlled through starvation. When wolf numbers grow too high, they kill too many animals of prey, in turn leading many preda-tors to starve. This allows prey numbers to grow once again. Human intervention would pre-vent the growth of prey species to recover from heavy predation, in the form of both hunting and habitat destruction.

High wolf numbers could have potentially devastating conse-quences on the wildlife of northern Wisconsin, especially on the white-tail deer, the number one food

source for Mid-western wolves. According to the International Wolf Foundation, a single wolf on average kills 15 to 19 deer per year. With the current population of wolves, around 12,000 deer are killed each year. This is especially devastating in northern Wisconsin, where deer populations are sparse—in some areas as low as five deer per square-mile. This not only has terrible consequences for north-ern Wisconsin’s ecosystem, but it harms the economy as well.

Deer hunting in Wisconsin is a multi-million dollar industry. Tourism money brought in by hunters is essential to for govern-ment services. In order to keep the deer population healthy, the wolf population must be kept under control.

The recent growth of the wolf population facilitates an alarming increase in human interaction with wolves. Wisconsin Outdoor News states that in 2007 wolves killed 30 cattle, six sheep, a horse and caused a number of livestock injuries in the state.

An overabundance of wolves equals a headache for farmers. In addition to livestock and mon-etary losses, wolves can cause major stress to a farmer’s herd. Yet wolf control techniques can be costly, time-consuming and are not always effective. Wisconsin Outdoor News shows the DNR’s cost of livestock reimbursement charges for 2006 were as high as $118,000. This is money that could be spent towards numerous constructive applications, such as research, game-law enforcement and pres-ervation of wild habitat.

For the good of wolves in Wisconsin, numbers must be culled before negative interaction with humans becomes a serious threat and public opinion turns

against their presence altogether.A controlled harvest would

be good for humans and wolves. Hunting or trapping season on wolves would not only improve the balance and health of the ecosystems they inhabit, but it could provide a large source of money for the DNR.

The Big Bad Wolf that haunt-ed Little Red Riding Hood is far from reality. The wolf is an apex predator, fitting into its ecosys-tems just as any other animal does. Thus, it should be treat-ed and managed as any other game animal. Controlled harvest is a vital conservation tool in the management of wildlife. A hunting season on wolves would not destroy their population, it would balance it.

These benefits include healthier wildlife populations, enhanced deer hunting, an improved economy, reduced conflicts with humans and their domestic animals and, perhaps most important, positive pub-lic opinion. For the benefit of wolves in Wisconsin, they must be removed from the endangered species list and there must be a controlled harvest. A hunting season on wolves will help ensure that their deep, majestic howl can be heard in the Badger state for many generations to come.

Wolf population too high Ireally wish Kenneth Kratz was one of the many adults who don’t know how to text.

Unfortunately, that’s just not the case. The Calumet County District Attorney, is currently under fi re for sexually suggestive text messages he sent to a client last October. Kratz has tried to downplay this scandal for several months, which accounts for the large gap in time before the Associated Press caught wind of the story and all hell broke loose.

The recipient of these vulgar messages was 26-year-old Stephanie Van Groll, the client of 50-year-old Kratz. Van Groll was the victim of domestic abuse and Kratz was prosecuting her ex-boyfriend on strangulation charges.

Kratz sent 30 illicit text messag-es over the span of three days. In one message, he referred to her as a “tall, young, hot nymph.” I didn’t think 50-year-olds even knew what the word “nymph” meant. And how his pudgy little fi ngers could type this out on the keyboard of a phone is beyond me, but it gets even more disturbing.

When Van Groll would take too long to respond to one of his messages, he would start to get offended and begin sending her demeaning text messages, taking shots at her level of confi dence and using this lack of self-esteem as an excuse for why she wasn’t more into the thought of a secret relationship. It never struck him that this woman was simply not interested. How a man as idi-otic as Kratz was ever elected to the post of District Attorney is incomprehensible—he must have been good at concealing the lust for his clients in his beady eyes during the campaigning process.

To pursue a woman in this way who has fallen victim to domestic abuse is one of the lowest lows you can sink to. Van Groll went to Kratz for help, trusting him to take care of her and protect her through the court system. Kratz

took this confi dence in his abili-ties to highly unprofessional levels. She even feared Kratz would drop the case against her ex-boyfriend if she didn’t cooperate with him. This could have led to her abuser going free and gaining the oppor-tunity to harm her again. Luckily, Van Groll was a strong enough woman to report this harassment after only a few days, which lead to Kratz removing himself from the case and the beginnings of a police investigation. I commend her for not letting this awful man walk all over her just because he was in a position of higher authority. It doesn’t matter who you are, you do not ask a client if she is “the kind of girl that likes secret contact with an older married elected DA”

However, what scares me is that the harassment Kratz committed is not considered misconduct or even illegal. I guess that’s a testament to our legal system ... if the crime isn’t bad enough, we can’t do anything about it. But I say forget proce-dure, this man needs to be out of our courts.

Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle has now said that he will begin the pro-cess of attempting to remove Kratz from his position, being that this pride-less man refuses to resign. The attorney made a statement to the press that he is “deeply sorry” to everyone involved and embarrassed at his actions. If he were truly sorry and embarrassed he would never have done it in the fi rst place. He would have known better than to speak to someone so derogatively. Kratz is only sorry Van Groll didn’t share his interest in the affair.

Kratz wife fi led for divorce in December, and other women have stepped up accusing him of unwanted sexual advances. In the meantime, Kratz is taking medical leave from his position as DA in order to seek out psychiatric help, which is good.

So what can we take away from these unfortunate events? I’d say always practice safe sexting by doing it with someone who’s actu-ally interested.

Big Ten hockey may be in UW’s future, but it’s not the right move

T his isn’t exactly going to be a groundbreaking observation, but it’s true:

rivalries are the backbone of col-lege sports.

We spend four years (or more) of our lives at one institution. Other, stupider people spend four years (or more) of their lives at an inferior institution we consider our enemy. The battle lines are drawn: We are the good guys, they are our foes, opposed to all that is righteous in the world.

Obviously, here at Wisconsin the main rival in every sport is Minnesota, but of course the Gophers aren’t the Badgers’ only rivals. Let’s not forget about the animosity football fans feel toward Ohio State or Michigan, the intra-state battle between Wisconsin and Marquette basketball or the storied hockey rivalries between the Badgers and North Dakota or Denver.

In the past week, however, those hockey rivalries have been put in jeopardy.

When Penn State announced it would join Division I hockey in the 2012-’13 season it was unquestionably a positive for the sport. One of the biggest names in college athletics would join the game’s top ranks, bring-ing with it a dedicated (and potentially lucrative) fan base. And with Penn State’s plans came the rumors of a Big Ten hockey conference to include the Nittany Lions, Minnesota, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State and Wisconsin.

Official word from the Big Ten is that they need to discuss a lot more before they will move toward a hockey conference. But based on what we’ve seen in the past few days from members of this Athletic Department, Big Ten hockey is looking like a reality.

Athletic Director Barry Alvarez told the Wisconsin State Journal he thinks the program will move toward the Big Ten and out of the WCHA. When I talked to him Tuesday, men’s hockey head coach Mike Eaves said there have been plenty of indications that Big Ten hockey will become a reality.

All of this is good, in theory. Wisconsin and other Big Ten schools will be able to make more money from TV contracts on the Big Ten Network, which can also give the game better media exposure and potentially bring in more fans.

But a Big Ten conference could cost the Badgers some of their big-

gest rivalries, namely the ones they have with equally historic teams in the WCHA.

The atmosphere in a hockey game against North Dakota or Denver is unreal. It’s hard to imag-ine the Kohl Center getting louder than it was when the Badgers beat the Pioneers last spring, or match-ing the excitement in the build-ing before those sold out games against the Sioux back in 2008.

Eaves said Wisconsin will try to schedule games against their old WCHA rivals if they make the move to the Big Ten, but there will not be any guarantee of playing all the historic teams Badger hockey fans are used to seeing. That is reassuring—after all, Wisconsin and Marquette are non-conference basketball rivals that meet every year. So hopefully we can count on Wisconsin seeing North Dakota or Denver in the fall or in some non-conference Christmas-time action each year.

But the atmosphere that made those games against the Pioneers and Sioux won’t be the same if the teams meet once a year in early-season, non-conference games. Those spring series when both teams are in the hunt for the WCHA title—those amazing March games that can determine who wins the MacNaughton Cup —will be gone.

Plus, Wisconsin will miss out on great games against other WCHA teams like St. Cloud State and Minnesota-Duluth that have emerged as recent challengers to conference’s his-toric top tier. The Badgers’ most obvious rival, Minnesota, would move with Wisconsin to the Big Ten, preserving perhaps college hockey’s greatest rivalry. Still, the loss of other WCHA rivals would be a serious blow the rest of the year.

From a fan’s perspective, the Badgers should stay in the WCHA if only for the sake of those fantas-tic rivalries.

But the lure of the major con-ference—and major conference money—might be too strong. Given a choice between TV broadcasts on Wisconsin Public Television and a more lucrative deal with the Big Ten Network, it’s clear which direction the ath-letic department would probably go in.

In general, Big Ten hockey will probably be a good thing for the game as a whole, giving the sport regular exposure on a larger network. For fans who value some of the sport’s best rivalries, however, it could be a real disappointment.

For many teams in the country, finding five reliable options along the offensive line is one of the big-gest challenges on any given week.

That is not a problem for the Badgers this year.

Entering this weekend’s matchup with Austin Peay, head coach Bret Bielema said he wants to finalize five starters before the beginning of the Big Ten confrence schedule. The dif-ference is UW has a surplus of bodies that have kept the picture fuzzy.

The Badgers have seven legiti-mate options, and while the left side is solidified with First Team All-Big Ten senior Gabe Carimi entrenched at left tackle, senior John Moffitt at left guard and sophomore Peter Konz taking over at center, the right side features two position battles that still need to be sorted out.

At right guard, senior Bill Nagy and junior Kevin Zietler have split time with the starting unit both in practice and in the first three games. At right tackle, junior Josh Oglesby took some criticism from his coach-es for inconsistent play early in the year and then left UW’s victory over San Jose State Sept. 11 with a knee injury. Sophomore Ricky Wagner started in his place against Arizona State last week and is making a case to keep the job.

“Ricky [Wagner] played a hell of a game on Saturday,”Carimi said.

“That’s good for [Oglesby] because, even though Ricky definitely doesn’t have that spot [solidified], neither does [Oglesby] and the competition is just going to bring the best player out, whoever that is.”

While Oglesby possesses the physical tools to be an elite tackle and has 25 starts under his belt, pro-cedure penalties and mental errors have drawn the ire of the coach-ing staff. Offensive line coach Bob Bostad said he is looking for each to be sharp physically and mentally.

“We’re looking for the most con-sistent guy and the guy that can handle the full range of what we’re asking them to do,” he said. “It’s got to be everything from being a physical run blocker to being great in pass protection.”

Wagner said he has not thought about the fact that a starter may be named after Saturday, but noted that having so much talent in one unit is beneficial.

“We all want to see each other

get better and it’s a great way for us to play our best every day at prac-tice,” Wagner said.

The physical nature of playing in the trenches means injuries are a part of the position, but Moffitt said this group has shown the ability to make the best of every situation.

“We’ve got a lot of guys that have had a chance to develop and guys that took opportunities during injuries,” Moffitt said. “The benefit of that is you have experienced guys and guys that have played in a lot of football games.”

That might be significantly understating the situation.

The Badgers’ top seven offen-sive linemen have a combined 128 starts, or an average of 18.3 starts per man. On top of that, sopho-more Travis Frederick, who last year became the first true freshman offensive lineman to start a season opener in program history, has not appeared in a game this year and will redshirt to ease the logjam and preserve eligibility.

Redshirt freshman Ryan Groy, naturally a guard, has also worked his way into the conversation, although not by lining up in the trenches. He has appeared in all three games for UW this year at fullback.

“It’s unbelievable,” Carimi said. “If somebody goes down, we’ve got somebody to back them up. It’s awe-some to have that depth and have that confidence that we can just plug and chug and go.”

National Outlook 5 THINGS TO WATCH PAGE B3PAGE B2

Last season, Toon emerged as the Badgers’ main receiving threat and established himself as a pre-mier receiver in the Big Ten by leading the team with 54 recep-tions for 804 yards to go along with four touchdown grabs.

But this year didn’t start off as many expected for Toon.

During the team’s opener against UNLV he suffered a turf toe injury that has kept him out of the last three games.

NFL players have said that the one injury they fear above all oth-

ers is turf toe. This is because it a very painful injury, and its effects can vary from player to player, causing the recovery process to be a difficult one.

For those who don’t know what turf toe it is exactly, the injury occurs when a player aggravates the socket the big toe sits in.

This injury can be very pain-ful because, as Toon put it, “you don’t realize how much you use something like your big toe until you can’t use it. You use it with

every step you take and obviously it makes running difficult.”

“It feels good right now,” Toon said. “I practiced a little bit today and it felt good. So for now I’m going to take it day by day and if I feel good on Saturday then I’m going to be out there playing.”

In wake of the injuries to the team’s two starters, the Badgers have had to look to other sources in the passing game.

One player who has really stepped up is senior tight end Lance Kendricks. Tight ends are always a big part of the Wisconsin offense, but Kendricks has seen his role increase even more in the wake of the injuries to the receiv-ing core.

Kendricks said coming to Wisconsin as a receiver has helped him contribute even more in the passing game.

“Because I came in as a receiv-er I know a lot of the routes they run,” he said. “The coaches know I’m comfortable doing that so in games they know they can split me out wide and use me as a receiver if needed.”

Kendricks has also developed good on-field chemistry with senior quarterback Scott Tolzien. In the two games without Toon in

the lineup, Kendricks has totaled 10 catches for 191 yards and the only two passing touchdowns the Badgers have this season.

“In practice is where we try to get it where it needs to be,” Kendricks said of his relationship with Tolzien. “But our chemistry is getting really good, he’s really getting comfortable throwing me the ball and using me split out and everything.”

Kendricks also said he relishes his newfound role as the passing game’s go-to guy.

“I definitely like being in that role,” he said. “I like that the guys can count on me to go out there and make the big plays when we need them.”

Another receiver, freshman Jared Abbrederis, has seen his playing time increase significant-ly with Gilreath out of the lineup.

In his first game starting last week against Arizona State, Abbrederis caught three balls for 35 yards to go along with 19 rush-ing yards on two end-around plays.

“Everyone has stepped up,” Abbrederis said. “Me, Jeff Duckworth, Isaac [Anderson], everybody has put it on their shoulders and worked really hard in practice to get where we are

so we’re able to go out there and compete every game.”

“We just need to make sure we catch every ball that comes our way so that the quarterbacks have faith in us and will keep throwing us the ball,” he added. “We also have to block so that the running backs or whoever is carrying the ball can get touchdowns.”

Abbrederis has also stepped into Gilreath’s usual role of punt returner. He recieved his first action in that spot last week against the Sun Devils.

“I like returning punts,” Abbrederis said. “Last game was great because I was able to get in there and get some experience doing it. So hopefully I can keep doing it well, not make mistakes and just go out there and have fun.”

With his replacements play-ing well, Toon said he has high hopes for this team once he and the other injured players are able to return.

“The guys out there now have done a decent job of stepping up and doing what needs to be done,” he said. “We’re winning games and that is what really mat-ters. But we haven’t seen our team at full strength yet, and I’m excit-ed to see us at full strength.”

Injuries affect any football team over the

course of a season, and the Badgers have been

no exception. Through the first three games

of the year the Badgers have sustained injuries to

both of their starting wide receivers, junior Nick

Toon and senior David Gilreath. In their absence,

the team’s other receivers have had to fill the void

in the passing game created by their injuries.

1Response of the defense

Following the news that sopho-more linebacker Chris Borland will miss the remainder of the season, the Badger faithful are anxious to see how the defense will respond after losing one of its leaders. The 2009 Big Ten freshman of the Year tied for second in the conference with five forced fumbles while compiling 54 tackles, including 10.5 for loss and 5 sacks. Without him, there is a considerable amount of added pressure on the team's remaining linebackers, sophomore Mike Taylor, senior Culmer St Jean and senior Blake Sorenson to step up their production, especially against the run. In last Saturday’s 20-19 win over Arizona State, the Sun Devils exploited the Badgers' wounded defense when Borland departed, piling up 169 rush-ing yards. It will be interesting to see whether the defense plays with a chip on its shoulder and prove they can still be a formidable unit without Borland.

2heavy dose of RunningAustin Peay will have the

daunting task of trying to stall Wisconsin's dominant run game, which is 20th in the nation, aver-aging 228 yards per game. After racking up 194 rushing yards in the victory over Arizona State, the Badgers and their massive offensive line are looking forward to facing an undersized defense that has allowed 657 total rush-ing yards and 219 yards per game.The Governor's 56-33 thrashing by Middle Tennessee on Sept. 11 was a prime example of Austin Peay’s inability to stop the runas they gave up 353 yards and seven touchdowns. Look for Wisconsin to establish the ground game early and render the Governors' run defense obsolete. Also, the game could serve as a great opportunity for all three Badger running backs to receive playing time and head

into Big Ten play with some valu-able momentum.

3open taRgets

While the main objective of the Badgers' offense will be to run the football, an effective rushing attack usually opens up the field for the pass-ing game. Since Austin Peay's defense will be so preoccupied with stopping Wisconsin’s vaunted run offense, the Badgers will be able to exploit the Governor’s pass defense through play-action and deep field passes.

With wide receivers Nick Toon and David Gilreath still reeling from inju-ries, senior quarterback Scott Tolzien will be looking for his go-to target: senior tight end Lance Kendricks. Kendricks caught seven passes for a career-high 131 yards and a touch-

down against Arizona State, continu-ing the recent trend of sure-handed, athletic tight ends that have been a staple of Wisconsin’s offense.

Keep a look out for emerging fresh-man receiver Jared Abbrederis as well, who has been a consistent threat, haul-ing in eight receptions for 93 yards against the Sun Devils.

4homefield advantage

Having a strong home field can pay huge dividends, especially against opponents that are venturing into uncharted territory. Austin Peay will face its first BCS conference oppo-nent in the school’s history at one of the toughest venues in college foot-bal, Camp Randall Stadium, which is known for the fan's close proximity to the field and incredible noise they can

generate. On top of that the Badgers have been exceptional at home, going 38-4 since the beginning of 2004 and winning 27 straight non-conference regular season games, the third-longest active streak in the nation behind only LSU and USC. In fact, Wisconsin's last loss to a non-conference adversary was just over seven years ago, when UNLV defeated Wisconsin 23-5 Sept. 13, 2003. The Governor's are a highly unlikely to end that streak with its inexperience at this level and playing in a stadium that boasts a capacity of over 80,000 Badger fans.

5execution of special team

If Badger's are serious about being a national contender, it is impera-tive they recover from last Saturday’s horrendous display on special teams,

when they gave up numerous long returns that could have easily cost them the game. Arizona State com-pletely embarrassed the Badgers spe-cial teams, racking up 261 yards, more than either its rushing and passing total yards in the game.

To add insult to injury, Wisconsin’s special teams allowed Arizona State’s Omar Bolden to run back a kickoff 97 yards for a touch-down in the first quarter and nearly let another touchdown slip away before halftime.

A shoe-string tackle by sophomore safety Shelton Johnson at the 1-yard line prevented Kyle Middlebrooks from returning the kick-off 95 yards and giving Arizona State a 20-13 lead. Even with injuries, it was an unacceptable performance for this unit and if it stays that way, the Badgers' title hopes could be dashed.

While Temple and Notre Dame look to silence doubters, Alabama kicks off conference play.

Temple vs. Penn StateThe Mid-American Conference

Temple Owls come into this week-end’s game against in-state rival No. 23 Penn State with a record that reads 0-27 in head-to-head matchups since 1941. The Owls also have a season record that reads 3-0 for the fi rst time since 1979, in contrast to Penn State’s record of 2-1.

With Pittsburgh’s disappointing season-opening loss at Utah, this battle between two Pennsylvania programs will likely lead to the unveiling of the Keystone State’s fi nest. Since renew-ing the rivalry in 2006, the Nittany Lions have torn the Owls to shreds by cumulative point total of 154-9, while outgaining Temple by 1,073 yards. This year may be different, however, as the Owls are led by the reigning MAC rushing leader, sophomore run-ning back Bernard Pierce. The Nittany Lions have a talented running back of their own in senior Evan Royster, who needs just 371 yards to become Penn State’s all-time leading rusher.

However, Royster hasn’t surpassed 40 yards rushing in any of his initial three games this season. While the Big Ten is still the Big Ten and the MAC remains the MAC, if this is a close game don’t be surprised to hear silence in University Park. Temple scored 16 fourth-quarter points to beat Connecticut, 18 to rally past Villanova and beat Central Michigan in overtime.

Alabama vs. ArkansasThe No. 1 team in the nation,

will travel to Razorback stadium this weekend to take on No. 10 Arkansas. Alabama is led by sophomore run-ning back Trent Richardson and last year’s Heisman winner, junior running back Mark Ingram. Returning from injury last week against Duke, Ingram amassed 151 yards and two touch-downs on only nine carries. Meanwhile Richardson is the lightning to Ingram’s thunder, providing a speedier option out of the backfi eld for the Tide.

The Alabama passing attack is led by senior quarterback Greg McElroy and junior wide receiver Julio Jones, who have one of the best rapports in

the country. The Alabama defense, ranked second in the country in points allowed with 6.3 per game, will be put to the test by Arkansas’ NFL-caliber junior quarterback Ryan Mallett. Mallett directs the third best passing attack in the nation, throwing for nine touchdowns and more than 1,000 yards.

The Arkansas defense is also one of the best in the country, as they only allow an average of 11.3 points per game. The Razorbacks will look to avenge the 49-14 defeat they suf-fered at the hands of the Tide in 2008 in which Mallett was held to a meager 12-35 performance for only 160 yards. If Arkansas has any chance at the upset, Mallett will have to step up and greatly improve on his perfor-mance from two years ago.

Stanford vs. Notre DameAfter two consescutive last min-

ute losses, Notre Dame and head coach Brian Kelly will hope to rebound against Heisman hopeful junior quarterback Andrew Luck and No. 16 Stanford.

Kelly came into the 2010 sea-son full of confi dence in his abil-ity to restore Notre Dame football to the level of its historic past. In spite of that, the previous two weeks have ended in two losses by a com-bined seven points to Big Ten foes Michigan and Michigan State.

However, another chance to begin the program resurrection rolls into South Bend, Ind., this Saturday at 3:30 p.m., this time in the form of a top Pac-10 team.

Stanford’s offense is piloted fl aw-lessly by Luck, who has thrown 10 touchdowns and no interceptions in his fi rst three games. Even with the loss of 2009 Heisman Trophy Finalist Toby Gerhart to the NFL, the Cardinal have their school’s h i g h e s t ranking at this point in the sea-son since 1972. The F i g h t i n g Irish believe they can threaten the Cardinal’s new era of Luck

and fortune, as junior quarterback Dayne Crist looks to avenge last year’s 38-45 loss in Palo Alto, Calif. However with the Cardinal’s FBS-leading pass defense, Notre Dame

will need to utilize options other than Crist if they hope to avoid doing what no Fighting Irish team has done in 18 years: Surrender a loss to Stanford in South Bend.
