Blog postings ignite con­troversy on campus [Oct. 5, 2009]

Comments made by a UW-Milwaukee student government leader four years ago stirred up controversy on campus in the fall 2009 semester.

Student Association Speaker of the Senate Kyle Duerstein came under fire for allegedly making racist comments on his blog, Panther Talk Live, in 2005 and 2006.

Duerstein told the Post that stepping down from his position

would be the easy way out and would not solve any problems. He said he'd like to prove that he is not a racist and that he apolo­gizes for what he wrote on his blog four years ago.

"I think there are ways for us to move past this," said Duerstein. "There are ways for me to dem­onstrate that I am not the per­son they think I am right now because of these foolish and stu­pid comments I made four years ago. I'd like to work to show them that."

Rove greeted with both pro­test, applause [Dec. 7, 2009]

Republican political legend Karl Rove spoke at UW-Milwaukee Thursday, Dec. 3 in the Wisconsin Room at the invitation of UWM's College Republicans and the Young America's Foundation.

The speech turned out to be well-attended, highly-organized and secure, but proved rowdy and raucous for those who came to voice their opposition to Rove.

Upon entry, attendees walked past signs which indicated that backpacks and large carry-ins were not allowed. Attendees also walked past a small group of about 20 protesters belong­ing to Students for a Democratic Society, who were slowly walk­ing in a circle, chanting qui­etly. Some of the SDS students wore masks depicting former President George W. Bush, while others held signs asking that Rove be imprisoned.

Building fire devastates Pizza Man, other businesses [Jan. 25, 2010]

In the early morning hours of Tuesday, Jan. 19, a four-alarm fire engulfed and completely de­stroyed the building that was home to the East Side's locally renowned Pizza Man restaurant.

The fire was reported at 3:33 a.m., and three minutes later the Milwaukee Fire Department (MFD) was on the scene.

The fire burned late into the morning hours and was fought by 150 Milwaukee firefighters causing power cuts, a large ra­dius of street closures and tem­porary city bus detours. The fire destroyed 10 apartments as well as four businesses including Pizza Man, Grecian Delight, the Black and White Cafe, and Cush lounge.

No one was killed during the

Two perspectives on Israelpalooza conflict

Award-winning journalists examine conflict intervention By Marly Fink Asst. News Editor news@uwmpost.com

Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalists Kira Kay and Jason Maloney addressed national insecurity and inter­national security in a lecture entitled "Countries in Crisis" last Wednesday at the Golda Meir Library Conference Center.

Kay and Maloney's four-part television series entitled "Fragile States" aired on PBS's "NewsHour" in 2009. This se­ries was created in collabora­tion with the Pulitzer Center

on Crisis Reporting, a non­profit organization in support of independent international journalism.

"Fragile States" investigated the successes and failures of international interventions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, East Timor, Bosnia and Haiti.

The event was hosted by the Institute of World Affairs at UW-Milwaukee and fea­tured an introduction by Jon Sawyer, the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting's found­ing director, who acted as the

Journalism students set up for adoption By Tammy McCubbin Asst. News Editor news@uwmpost.com

This semester, the Strategic Communication Campaigns class in the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication worked with local non-profit Adoption Resources of Wisconsin (ARW), to help plan their in­augural "Adoption is Good Business" awards luncheon held April 21 at the Pfister Hotel.

Along with ARW, stu­dents helped mark, brand and spread the word about the inaugural event through producing invites, advertise­ments, a media kit, a blog and managing ARW's social media.

The event was held to

honor local businesses that provide exceptional adoption benefits and policies avail­able to their employees. The events also raised awareness of the importance of adop­tion, specifically adopting older children out of foster care.

"It was a great experience. I learned a lot about working with clients and how to coordinate a team/' - UWM Journalism Student Roland Brenner

The students in JMC 524 were set up into different groups that function as a full service communications agency. The agency includes two directors, a public rela­tions department, creative department, research de­partment and a media/fi­nance department.

Erick Mack and Roland Brenner, both seniors at UWM, said they gained a lot of ex­perience from the course. "I got real world experience in dealing with the client," Mack said. "It was a good learning experience."

"It was a great experience," Brenner, one of the co-exec­utive directors of the proj­ect, told the Post. "I learned a lot about working with cli-

FCC proposes new regulations for broadband

The Federal Communications Commission recently proposed new regulations of Internet broadband lines, according to the Wall Street Journal. The FCC is planning regulations on the Internet under rules that have been around for decades, but were designed to regulate phone lines. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski was quoted as saying that the full extent of the current phone line regulations will not be ap­plied to the Internet in order to keep "mean­ingful boundaries to guard against regulatory overreach."

Vegan students push for more dining options via petition By Tom Swieciak News Editor news@uwmpost.com

Some UW-Milwaukee stu­dents who identify themselves as vegan are increasingly frus­trated with the lack of vegan of­ferings on UWM's menu. Despite a rise in vegan menu options at many universities, some vegans say that UWM dining services are having trouble keeping on top of the demand.

UWM student Amy Gorski, a member of a vegan student interest group on campus, has joined Peta2 to gather over 1,500 signatures on a petition demanding that vegan students be properly catered to by the campus menu.

"We have the right to healthy, humane options at every meal," the petition reads, according to a press release.

Concerning the difference between vegetarian and vegan dishes, vegan focuses more on cruelty-free food, according to a Peta2 representative.

"Vegan food does not con­

tain meat, dairy, or eggs be­cause of the cruelty inherent in raising and killing animals for food," Peta2.com Senior College Campaign Coordinator Ryan Huling said.

Peta2.com releases an an­nual list of the "Most Vegetarian-FriendIyColleges"eachfalI.Some of the colleges mentioned in the top ten include UC Santa Cruz, the University of Puget Sound and Northwestern University.

"UWM would do well to follow the trail-blazing example that these schools and hundreds of others have set," Huling said.

Huling made clear that UWM should not have trouble finding vegan offerings.

"From vegetarian barbecue riblets to dairy-free soft-serve ice cream to vegan pizza, find­ing cruelty-free dining options has never been easier," Huling said.

Recalling how he became a vegan, Huling related his col­lege conversion after witness­ing the cruelty that animals endured during the process of making food.

"I saw videos of pigs having their throats cut while still con­scious and male chicks being thrown alive into grinders be­cause the egg industry didn't want them," Huling said.

"I realized that if these abuses were inflicted on the dogs or cats that I shared my home with, they would result in felony cruelty to animals charges."

Huling said that the growing trend of veganism on college campuses is something that UWM cannot ignore.

"We see similar actions na­tionwide, as the demand for vegan options is higher than ever - particularly on college campuses," Huling said. "In fact, a survey by ARAMARK, a leading food service provider, concluded that one in four col­lege students is actively seek­ing vegan options when they sit down to eat, for reasons ranging from keeping off the 'freshman 15' to environmental concerns and, of course, because of cru­elty to animals."

New lending laws immediately affect UWM students By Tom Swieciak News Editor news@uwmpost.com

The new Federal Direct Loan program signed into law by the Obama adminis­tration will have an impact on students who collect finan­cial aid at UW-Milwaukee.

Department of Financial Aid Associate Director Sue Minzlaff told the Post that students will have to do more than just fill out the FAFSA in order to borrow money through a federal student loan. . "In order to borrow a fed­eral student loan, in addi­tion to submitting the FAFSA, they will need to complete a new master promissory note (MPN) - this time for the Direct Loan program," Minzlaff said. "In addition, students attending this summer will need to make sure their loan is certified by June 22 and disbursed by June 30."

Considering the pace of the changes, students need to act quickly in order to stay on top of their tuition responsibilities.

According to the new law, Minzlaff said that col­leges and universities "may no longer disburse Stafford or PLUS loans through the Federal Family Educational Loan (FFEL) program after June 30. UWM has partici­pated in the FFEL programs since the 2005-06 academic year."

However, Minzlaff stressed that students were not the only ones being af­fected by the new law.

"This also means that all Parent PLUS and Graduate PLUS Loan borrowers will need to complete new MPNs," Minzlaff said.

UWM's Dept. of Financial Aid is trying to make the new regulations as user friendly as possible for students.

"All new MPNs can be completed by selecting the

yellow starburst under the 'Announcements' section of our web site, www4.uwm. edu/financialaid," Minzlaff said.in addition, e-mails are being sent out as reminders to students to ensure that their MPNs are signed on time.

Minzlaff stressed that the biggest change for students who have already borrowed from a private lender is the fact that they will now have two different institutions to reimburse.

"Students who have pre­viously borrowed using a bank, and most having Great Lakes as their servicer, will now minimally have two lenders: the bank and the Department of Education," Minzlaff said.

"When they graduate, it will be more important than ever for them to participate in Exit Loan Counseling. By doing so they will receive the tools they need to suc­cessfully repay their loans."

While some may see the new law as a hindrance, or an inconvenience, Minzlaff stated that the new law makes things easier.

"Although the new pro­gram takes away the abil­ity of the borrower to select the lender that best meets their needs, it should make it easier for the borrower," Minzlaff said. "They won't have to compare lenders to see if one offers better bene­fits than another. There will be only one lender."

Minzlaff also mentioned that students need to take responsibility with the new law, as without their direct action, they will be left out in the cold.

"Students needing loans for the current semester must have them finalized by May 14," Minzlaff said. "Students should check their PAWS account to make sure their spring bill has been paid and any aid they were anticipating has disbursed."

moderator. "I think.that you know as

well as I what's happening in terms of old media coverage of big global issues," Sawyer said. "There's less and less of it and fewer resources de­voted to getting the depth that we need."

After Sawyer's introduc­tion, a 16-minute clip from "Fragile States" was shown before the audience was able to ask Kay and Maloney ques­tions regarding various me­dia and journalistic topics.

"We really wanted to get a very nice wide geographic look, and we ended up with four countries on four dif­ferent continents, each with very different scenarios,

but also some very similar themes, mostly the idea of a large-scale international intervention," Kay said of "Fragile States." "These coun­tries represent what we are referring to as an arc of instability."

Together, Kay and Maloney founded the Bureau for International Reporting (BIR), a non-profit video news organization dedicated to offering coverage of over­looked international news stories to American news providers, according to BIR's web site.

Both Kay and Maloney live in New York. Kay is a televi­sion news journalist who has worked for PBS, ABC, CBS and CNN. Maloney is a freelance news and documentary pro­ducer and was in Haiti dur­ing the recent earthquake, filming a report for PBS.

Post, UWM reach se t t l ement in lawsuit [Feb. 15, 2010]

The UWM Post and UW-Milwaukee reached a settle­ment in February for a public records lawsuit filed against UWM by the student newspa­per in November of 2009.

The university agreed to dis­close all previously requested records in unredacted form. They also agree to pay at­torney fees in the amount of $11,764.65 to Godfrey & Khan S.C., the Post's legal counsel.

The lawsuit was based on a Jan. 8, 2009 public records request made by Jonathan Anderson, who was editor in chief of the Post at the time. The request sought minutes, agendas, audio recordings and other records of Union Policy Board (UPB) meetings. The uni­versity produced the records, but redacted information that might identify student mem­bers of the committee.

16 deta ined, 15 arrested in educat ion rights rally [March 8, 2010]

16 demonstrators were detained during an educa­tion rights protest Thursday, March 4 that began in the UW-Milwaukee Union and ended at Chapman Hall, home to the offices of Chancellor Carlos Santiago and other top univer­sity administrators .

15 of the 16 protesters were formally arrested and charged. 13 were s tudents and two were non-students . Charges include obstructing or resisting police, disorderly conduct and unlaw­ful assembly. Additionally, one student was found to be car­rying a knife and was charged with possession of a danger­ous weapon and two s tudents were charged with possession of marijuana.

One police officer suffered a leg injury, according to a mes­sage by Santiago sent to all stu­dents via e-mail.

The March 4 protest was one of many similar demonstrat ions across the country as part of the National Day of Action for Education Rights. The demands of the protesters, according to a flyer for the rally, include a tuition freeze, pay cuts for high-level administrators in­cluding UWM Chancellor Carlos Santiago, and increased money for need-based scholarships.

YouTube v ideo of s tudent ar­res ted watched nearly half a mil l ion t imes [April 5, 2010]

Video footage of ' a UW-Milwaukee student arrested and removed from the classroom in March-received national atten­tion from news outlets such as CNN and the Huffington Post.

Shortly after the incident oc­curred, a video of the alterca­tion was posted on youtube. com. As of April 4, the video had been watched over 483,000 times.

Robyn Foster, a senior at UWM, was removed by the UWM police depar tment after she en­gaged in a verbal confrontation with Anthropology instructor Kathleen Foley Winkler. Foster declined a request for comment from the Post last week.

The dispute shown in the video footage appeared to stem from disagreement regarding a question on a test.

Student government elec­t ions pos tponed , IEC re­m o v e d [April 12, 2010]

Independent Elections Commissioner Sara Haskell was removed from her position in a no confidence vote during the Sunday, April 11 UW-Milwaukee Student Association Senate meeting.

The SA Senate also passed an emergency declarationallowing for the University Student Court to run the elections. According to Meggan DeWitt and Cameron Jaeger of USC, the hope is to hold new online elections April 20-22. If the system isn't secure by that point, they said, a paper ballot election would likely be

held April 27-29. The SA elections were can­

celled by the USC Thursday, April 8. A number of problems arose in last week's at tempt to hold the first online SA elec­tions at UWM. In an e-mail sent all s tudents , two independent links to the ballot were pro­vided, allowing s tudents to vote twice. Student voters could also reportedly delete cookies sto­ried in their Internet browser to vote again. Finally, voters could change the code number listed in the URL" and vote as many times as they wanted.

Jackson ge t s life* s en tence for Potter murder [April 19, 2010]

Seandell Jackson, a man convicting of murdering a UW-Milwaukee student last sum­mer, was pepper-sprayed and dragged out of a courtroom Friday, April 16 after reacting to a life sentence, according to a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel report.

Jackson was convicted of be­ing a party to a crime of first-de­gree intentional homicide and attempted robbery in February in connection to the murder of UWM film student Nathan

Potter, according to the report. Potter was shot and killed on the 2500 block of N. Dousman St. July 6, 2009.

Jackson was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole last Friday, and had to be subdued by deputies after reacting the sentence and yell­ing profanity at Judge Rebecca Dallet, according to the Journal Sentinel.

Koonce placed on admin­istrative leave [April 26, 2010]

The UW-Milwaukee Chancellor's Office placed Athletics Director George Koonce on administrative leave Wednesday, April 21 for "per­sonnel matter that is confiden­tial at this time," according to a statement released by the university.

Koonce, a former Green Bay Packer who earned his Masters Degree in sports management from East Carolina University in 2006, was hired by UWM just over one year ago after former Athletics Director Bud Haidet's retirement.

Dave Gilbert, senior assis­tant to the chancellor, will serve as acting director of athletics

while Koonce is on leave.

Biden, Geithner pitch Wall Street reform at UWM [May 3, 2010]

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner spoke about Wall Street reform at UW-Milwaukee Tuesday, April 27 in the Union.

The audience consisted mostly of UWM business stu­dents, local politicians and press representatives. The ap­pearance was billed as a "Middle Class Task Force" meeting and it saw the Democrats attempt­ing to promote financial reform that the Obama Administration is calling for.

"I think most everyone here would agree that something needs to change on Wall Street," said Biden. "I think it's time the rules of the game changed."

According to President Obama's rhetoric on his recent national speaking tour, finan­cial reform will consist of giv­ing stockholders more say on how companies are run, pro­viding additional consumer protections, and enforcing reg­ulations on business transac­tions known as derivatives.

Panthers take key series from Wright State UWM loses senior Patzman for season

By Jeremy Lubus

Staff Writer

sports@uwmpost.com

It was a show-me-what-you-got weekend when UW-Milwaukee baseball team traveled to Dayton, Ohio to take on Wright State University.

After a come-from-behind win in the first game of the series Friday night, UWM took the se­ries by winning the second game of their doubleheader. UWM lost the first game Saturday 20-4, but fought back to end strong, win­ning 10-7 in the third game of the series.

The Panthers (23-20 overall, 11-7 Horizon) pounded out an impressive 34 hits over the three games. The biggest hit of the se­ries was unquestionably senior Tim Patzman's bases-clearing tri­ple in the seventh inning of game one which gave head coach Scott Doffek his 100th career win.

Things sure were looking good

as the Panthers clawed to just one game behind Wright State for first place in the Horizon League. However, as the rain hit Milwaukee hard this weekend so did the news that Patzman would be lost for the season due to an injury.

In game two, which UWM lost, Patzman wasrunning down a fly ball in the outfield when he ran into the wall and hurt his elbow. Patzman would have to leave the game and his presence will cer­tainly be missed, as the senior was batting .416 this season.

When the Panthers won the second game of the double header it marked the program's 500th win.

The series win puts UWM in second place in the Horizon League with just seven games left in the season. The Panthers host Northern Illinois at Miller Park Wednesday afternoon be­fore welcoming Butler and UIC this weekend.

All good things Bucks bring hope to Milwaukee

ByJoeDevitt

Staff Writer

sports@uwmpost.com

The last time the Milwaukee Bucks finished a season with more than 45 wins, a gallon of gas was $1.46, the Napster debate was in full force, Apple had just intro­duced the iPod, the first Shrek movie was about to make its de­but, and "Dharma and Greg," yes, "Dharma and Greg," was still a popular show (popular show is a loose term). Jerry Stackhouse was killing it with Detroit (he averaged 30 a game!), the Grizzlies were still in Vancouver, Shaq Diesel was in shape, and Jason Kidd was still hoopin' for the Suns. So, yeah, it has been a good while, but Hubie Brown, he of elegance and grace, really said it best, "the pro game is back in Milwaukee." Damn straight, Hubie, damn straight. The atmo­sphere in the Bradley Center for those three playoff games was off the charts, proving, once again, that good Bucks basketball will be supported.

A great deal of credit needs to be given to the organizational hi­erarchy: Herb Kohl, an owner who cares about a winning team rather than strict profit (i.e. Donald Sterling, Los Angeles Clippers owner). Kohl did his due diligence when he hired John Hammond, the NBA executive of the year, who in turn hired Scott Skiles (who should have won Coach of the Year).

These Milwaukee Bucks, top to bottom, were on the same page the whole year. This speaks to great organizational communi­cation; Skiles and Hammond did a tremendous job assembling a high character group of players, guys who knew their roles and ac­

tually enjoyed playing with each other, a phenomenon that's all too rare in the NBA. The Bucks never overwhelmed anybody because of their talent, and they won because of their good team play and de­fense (what a novel idea).

It'll be really interesting to see how Milwaukee handles their off season. They won't have much cap space to work with until after next season when Michael Redd's con­tract goes off the books, but they do have some flexibility now that Dan Gadzuric's contract is done with. And John Salmons (fear the beard!) has a decision to make: he could opt out of the final year of his contract (worth $5.8 million) and become a free agent, stick around for one more year, or try to work out an extension.

It would be great to see Salmons . back next year, but you've got to think he's going to test the mar­ket after another great late sea­son run, especially since next sea­son is the final year of the col­lective bargaining agreement and he could potentially get a more player-friendly contract by be­coming a free agent now.

The Bucks could certainly use another scorer, seeing as they were 29th in the league in shoot­ing percentage this year, but it might be tough to find somebody through free agency this summer, so hopefully they'll be able to pick up somebody in the draft. For the most part, the younger core of this team is going to be around. And if they can stay healthy, they'll be competitive for years to come.

Give the Bucks credit - they had absolutely no expectations coming into the year, but they were able to put together a gritty team and make pro ball enjoyable in Milwaukee again.

Search for the best free agent in 2010 And it's not LeBron James

By Shawn Kumar

Staff Writer

sports@uwmpost.com

We've all seen the list a thousand times. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Joe Johnson, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Dirk Nowitzki, Yao Ming, David Lee, Amare Stoudemire and Carlos Boozer. This summer, the NBA will have the best of the best up for grabs. Teams will be pitching their cases, showing off their facilities, wining and dining them in the best restaurants and showing players what the city has to offer in efforts of trying to woo a star to their team.

Some of the free agents available already can some­what be linked to a team. It's thought by many, including Pat Riley, that Wade will remain in Miami and rumors are swirl­ing the Joe Johnson wants to reunite with Mark D'Antoni in New York.

Many others though, are still a mystery. Will LeBron stay in Cleveland, go to New York or somewhere else? Will Bosh follow LeBron or will he team up with Wade in Miami and have Riley as coach? Although these questions will remain the buzz all summer, one in­dividual should be the biggest news. All the players are going to be recruited, but this guy should stand above the rest. The champion-of-champions and the best coach of all time: Phil Jackson.

It's easy for a head coach to get lost in the names of America's hottest young ath­letes like James and Wade, but •for the true basketball aficio­nados, Jackson should be the one that people chase. Jackson has officially run out of digits on his hands to wear rings and by the looks of it, will have an eleventh title this year. Being a native of Southern California, the only story you need to fol­low is if Jerry Buss will resign the biggest free agent of the year in Jackson. Reportedly, Buss is tired of whipping out $12 million a year for Jackson, a salary that is easily the high­est among any professional coach in America and rivals that of most great NBA play­ers. But the $12 million is the best investment he can make.

If there's anything we can learn from watching the end­ing of the NBA season and the first round of the playoffs, it's that the NBA is NOT a players' league as many might think. George Karl, coach of the Denver Nuggets, was leading the team that many thought would rival the Lakers for the conference championship. Sadly, a bout of cancer con­fined him to bed rest and the team completely deteriorated after that. Even with the likes of Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Kenyon Martin and J.R. Smith, they could not hold the team together. Despite what people think, coaches do matter.

There are so many elite

players, in the NBA, but so few elite coaches. Jackson, Jerry Sloan, Gregg Popovich, Pat Riley (if he decides to leave the front office), and Larry Brown are the only ones who come to mind. Obtaining one of these men is the first step in a path to a championship. If one of them is available then they should be pursued more so than the players.

Do you really think Michael Jordan could be who he is to­day with Doug Collins coach­ing the Bulls? Could Kobe and Shaq be who they are .with Bernard Shaw or Kurt Rambis still coaching instead of Jackson taking over? No. Jackson is the reason these players became as big as they are, and vice versa. His philos­ophy of bringing in Buddhist­like mentality of meditation and tranquility into the locker room has clearly proven ef­fective. The mind games he plays with opponents, most recently Kevin Durant, are his trademark.

Jackson is a bona fide champion and every team that needs a head coach, like the Bulls, Nets, and 76ers (maybe even the Knicks or Mavericks), should be lining up to get him instead of the players. A truly great team always starts and ends with the head coach and our generation is lucky to wit­ness the best of all time.

His salary, which is ex­tremely high, is worth every penny. He brings out the best in players, gets them into the playoffs and gives them cham­pionships. He has played with the best and coached the legends. He has seen every­thing and knows everything. Although the summer will be spent seeing where King James and the other great free agents go, it really should be spent seeing where the Zen Master ends up.

Looking back Sports year in review

By Tim Prahl

Sports Co-Editor

sports@uwmpost.com

The end of the semester means many different things.

For some, it means the end of homework, group projects, and your roommate not doing the dishes. For others it means the start of a new summer, new job, or a new roommate who isn't overly tidy.

Regardless of which side of the spectrum you tend to fall on, the end of anything usually leads to looking back at what was. And we at the Post are no different. The following are just a few of the many sports stories that helped distract from home­work just a little longer.

i ^p^m^^mmmtf^^mmmmWmwmwi

Rollercoaster season Volleyball at UW-Milwaukee

just wins. That's a given. Coming into this season, the Panthers had lost a total of 15 games in 142 matches at home since 1997. Any doubters were seemingly quieted after the supposed down year in 2008 turned into just another league title and NCAA Tournament appearance.

But a loss in early October left UWM 2-6 in league play and just 5-14 overall. Saying the team had to do a 180-degree turn­around, coach Susie Johnson got her team to do just that as Milwaukee spouted off an amaz­ing eight-straight wins to finish the season third overall.

Those 14 young women con­

tinued their dominance by run­ning the table in the confer­ence tournament en route to their eighth NCAA Tournament berth. The team nearly got its first ever win in the NCAA Tourney before falling in a nail-biting fifth set to Dayton.

Quietly impressive

Since the back-to-back NCAA Tournament runs the men's basketball team made in the mid 2000s, some of the luster that was held at the U.S. Cellular Arena has faded.

Rob Jeter has raised the win total by at least three games every year though, and this year was no different as the Panthers notched that coveted 20th win in the Horizon League Tournament before their bags were packed for good in a third close loss to National runner-up Butler, narrowly missing post­season play.

As-unlucky as can be

Women's soccer has probably been most consistently success­ful sport at UWM over the past decade. Despite the loss of two eventual Women's Professional Soccer players to graduation, coach Michael Moynihan still had high hopes for this team.

However, after an insanely competitive non-conference schedule, UWM found them­selves with a 2-5-3 record head­ing into conference play. Like the volleyball team, Moynihan and company rattled off 10 straight wins to win the Horizon League regular season and tournament titles. It never hurts when you

have the nation's leading goal-scorer, Sarah Hagen, netting 20 goals in those 10 games either.

Playing with about as much confidence as possible heading into their NCAA Tournament matchupagainstCentral Florida, UWM actually outplayed the Knights in nearly every facet of the game ... and yet lost 3-0.

One and done?

It seems like just a year ago that students and fans were praising the school for the hire of new Athletic Director George Koonce. Wait, that's because the former Packer was hired just over a year ago. Now, with Koonce placed on administra­tive leave a few weeks ago, ru­mors of this once fan-favorite are running rampant.

Now with reports of lawyers

from both parties involved, it seems unlikely Koonce will re­turn despite his ability get a $25 increase in segregated fees spe­cifically for an on-campus arena for the basketball team - a fee that the Student Association has since proposed to rescind-

With everyone in-the-know refusing to comment, what will happen with the situation is only speculation. Whatever it is, we as students can only hope for whatever is best for this uni­versity and the athletics that we support.

So there you have it. One more year in the books and a list much longer than this full of Panther sports memories. Check sports.uwmpost.com over the summer for any break­ing news about UWM sports un­til the fall.

The elephant in the room Panther football needs a comeback By Jimmy Lemke

Sports Co-Editor

sports@uwm post.com

Over the years, I've sat down and talked to thousands of my fellow students about our athletics program at UW-Milwaukee. I know what I've thought about the Milwaukee Panthers, but I've always been in the minority as a fan of all our sports. It wasn't hundreds of us that made the trip to South Bend, Indiana to watch the women's soccer team get upset

by Michigan State in the 2008 NCAA tournament.

We didn't charter buses for dozens of students to venture down to Butler for the Horizon League Tournament in men's basketball. Hell, there were enough students to fill a handful of cars this past fall to watch us lose the Milwaukee Cup to Marquette, again. You might say that support has been lacking. Scratch the might; support has been lacking.

So in these discussions with my fellow students, whether

they be sports fans or completely uninterested if we were in the national title game, I've found out a thing or two. But there's always one topic that keeps cropping up, when most of these students look at me with hopeful eyes, or tell me exactly why support for our athletics program has dwindled. They hope I have the answer, because I am around the Panthers so much, I'd have to know if it were coming.

They want football. And they want it now.

As a student, I have fielded

that question from alumni as well. Whether it's a basketball game or a soccer match, alumni want football just as much as the students do. So why don't we have football?

Obviously, the main deterrent is money. We're just climbing out of bad economic times, but a football team is a monumental cost. Without a stadium, it would take in the neighborhood of $15 million to get the ball rolling. If we want a dominant team in the FCS level (the division that crowns a real champion, not a mythical BCS one), it would cost in the realm of $5 million a year just to run the team. That same money could be spent on running an FBS program in a conference such as the MAC, where we would play schools like Central Michigan and Toledo.

But isn't it fiscally irresponsible to run a football team? On the surface, absolutely. Only a few dozen of the 120 Football Bowl Subdivision programs operate in the black, yet not one of them even considered dropping football. Why is that? The support it brings your university, and not just on Saturdays.

Consider this: in 1997, the University of South Florida kicked off for the first time ever. USF brought in about $8 million in donations to the university as a whole, and only eight percent of that went to the athletics program. Fast forward 10 years, when USF had built itself into a school known for its football team, and that number had grown to $75 million. A lot of that goes back into football, right? Nope. The same eight- percent went into the athletics program, the other 92 percent into academics and scholarships. At USF, there were no other major differences besides football.

But they got started in 1997, when the economic climate was stable. No one would seriously consider football now, would they?

In fact, several schools are in the planning process or have already brought their football programs to the field. As of

2011, the University of Texas at San Antonio will field a football team. Their first game marks the end of San Antonio's run as the Iargestcity in thecountry without an NFL or Division-I football program. At that institution, students voted yes to pay over $120 per semester on top of their current athletics segregated fee to bring Roadrunner football to the field.

With San Antonio off the list, what is the next largest city without football? That would be Milwaukee, the nation's twenty-third largest. And it's not even close. Next largest would be Wichita, 51st and almost half the size of Brew City.

At the University of North Carolina-Charlotte, hundreds of students organized a walk on campus towards the basketball arena. There they were met by chancellor Philip Dubois, who was astonished by the show of support for the revival of a football program that had been dormant since 1948. That act, led by a few students and young alumni, ultimately led UNCC to say "yes" to football. The large, public institution in the state's largest city will play its first D-I football game in 2013. Construction on a new stadium begins in 2011. All of this happened in a city where there already is an NFL team, the Carolina Panthers.

Meanwhile, backinMilwaukee, we've been without football since the Packers made Lambeau their permanent home in the early 1990's. The Milwaukee Iron are a fun alternative, but people want college football in this town. Read local-media web sites and comments about UWM or Marquette needing a football team are prevalent. The desire for the gridiron is so great that fans of both schools have admitted they would bury their dislike and cheer for the other school's football program.

However, Marquette is a middle-sized, private school that cut the team in 1960 based

poor performance and on

Bleeding black and gold My time at UWM By Jimmy Lemke

Sports Co-Editor

sports@uwmpost.com

In my four years as the sports editor for the UWM Post, I've never sat staring at a blank screen for more than a moment. Like so many of my classmates in the College of Letters and Science, writing has become second na­ture; whether I know what I'm writing about or not, I can at least spin a load of bull that makes it sound like I half-know what I'm talking about.

Today, not so much. Every se­mester, when one of my writers at the Post graduates, I have them write a farewell column to talk about their time here at UWM. Now, it's my turn. Faced with this daunting task, I have so much to talk about, but nothing to say. I've taken some extra space in the Post this last week to go in-depth on topics I feel need the attention. This, however, is my farewell col­umn, so I'm going to use it as space to reflect. I do have some­thing to say.

I came to UWM in the fall of 2005 just as many of us did back then - I was rejected by UW-Madison, put on the waiting list for not having a score in the 30's on my ACT or some travesty like that. The fact of the matter is I have always been a lazy student (hence the fifth year) and a cu­mulative GPA starting with a two doesn't exactly scream summa cum laude. But I loved Wisconsin. I had a wardrobe that was about 50 percent Badger gear, I attended homecoming every year since I was a kid with family, and I even knew the words to "Varsity" when I was five years old. Needless to say, rejection was difficult to take.

My plan was simple - work hard in my first two years at UWM and take the automatic transfer so I could finally be at my sec­ond home. Being a big sports fan, I figured I would catch some games while on the East Side; be a Panther while I'm here, but a Badger-in-waiting.

I liked UWM. It was my first se­mester when I considered myself lucky to have found a good school to fall back on, even though it

wasn't where I wanted to fin­ish. When my first Wisconsin vs. Milwaukee basketball game came around, I was conflicted. I went to the game with a couple friends who were in school at UW and had season-tickets in the "Grateful Red" section. I wouldn't have been able to go back to UWM if I was decked out in a Badger jersey at the game - it'd be like denying my (albeit hopefully temporary) iden­tity, so I wore plainclothes. I took no sides, not for where I was, or where I wanted to be.

It was a back and forth game. The Panthers were a damn good team, coming off a Sweet Sixteen appearance and chomping at the bit to get their first victory in Madison since 1992. The Badgers, on the other hand, lost to eventual national champ North Carolina in the Elite Eight, a result that led me to be sour for a week in my senior year of high school. My neutral identity allowed me to watch the game without getting too emo­tional, although I thought the refs were pressured unfairly by the crowd into favoring Bucky. When head coach Rob Jeter, an assis­tant in Madison only eight months prior, got whistled for a technical with less than five minutes to go in an extremely close game, I lost it. I bellowed "That's bullshit!" at the court, causing about 20 rows of Grateful Red in front of me to turn around in confusion.

"We're getting screwed," I told my friend Eddie. As soon as the words escaped my mouth, I re­alized that I had referred to the Panthers as 'we.' I have never been so happy to be called an "asshole" by 200 people in my life. But there I was, finding out some­thing about myself.

The fact of the matter is, I identified with the team that got screwed over on that call. I main­tain that Kevin Massiah's dunk in Brian Butch's face was most def­initely not a charge, but had it not have happened, I might have left that game still preparing for a transfer. I got the grades for the automatic transfer that next year, but there was no moving to my second home, because I was al­ready there.

I realized that for all the home­comings I went to, for every time I sang "U-rah-rah Wisconsin" or the two Jim Leonhard jerseys I

wore almost constantly (home and away), my relationship with UW was very one-sided. It was a school that I loved unequivocally, but when the time came to take me in, it didn't love me back.

I wasn't alone in this. UW-Madison is one of the most selec­tive public schools in the country, seemingly impossible for many prospective college students who grew up much like I did in the state of Wisconsin. Out of that selectiv­ity, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has become what UW and its alumni always feared: a second flagship institution. That selectivity has changed things in this state.

UW-Madison hugs "the capi-tol, yet more students from Dane County attend Milwaukee. More Wisconsinites. attend Milwaukee than any other school, includ­ing Wisconsin. Most importantly, more of our graduates stay home in Wisconsin than any other school. Yet UW-Madison's endow­ment is ten-fold what we have on the East Side. Their campus is also ten times the size of ours, yet they retain land-grant status just in case they need to stretch out a bit more. It's not like we could use that status to fix our cramped campus or anything.

So my love for UW-Madison, over time, became an equal and eventually more powerful con­nection with Milwaukee. I owe a lot more of my future success (hopefully) to Milwaukee than to Madison. The same goes for all of us Panthers. - mnipujU'iJi

Is that my fault, for not ap­plying myself in high school? Ab­solutely, but that slacker attitude brought me to my real second home, a place I call Alma Mater, the place that loved me back. I'd like to take this time to thank the good folks at Rockstar Games for ensuring my eyes were glued to Grand Theft Auto rather than Great Expectations while I at­tended Nathan Hale in West Allis.

When I sat down at the com­puter, ready to pump out one more column, I wanted to send a message to every part of the UWM community who reads my ramblings: students, faculty, alumni, and neighbors. That mes­sage is simple: cherish your time spent at UWM, and be loyal to Milwaukee as Milwaukee has been

loyal to you. People often talk about how

we don't have a "real" university. That's garbage. We have world-class faculty, a very large and suc­cessful alumni base, and a stu­dent body with many bright fu­tures ahead. So don't sell yourself or our Alma Mater short. Don't shy away from being a fan of the Panthers if you enjoy sports. Just because we're playing UIC and not Illinois doesn't mean the game is any less exciting or the rivalry is any less intense. The love and loy­alty you put into the Milwaukee Panthers will be rewarded in the long run; ask anyone who waited. decades for our Sweet 16 run, and they'll tell you they wouldn't trade the experience for anything in the world.

If we're ever going to shed the unfair reputation as a safety school, support of athletics is key. We need tangible support as a uni­fied community, and the fact of the matter is we're not going to get thousands of people to show up and watch someone take a physics exam. Athletics, while many see it as a waste of money, is the key to a better and brighter future for UWM. Is it the only way to pluck that chicken?

Of course not; continued in­vestment in academics is our mis­sion, and always most important. But a great athletic program is the best marketing a university can get. For one week in March of 2005, the entire country was talk­ing about UWM. That fall, I came into a school of 26,000 students. That number is now flirting with 32,000.

So as I step away from the news desk, I want to thank the people who have helped me find my­self at UWM. Thanks to Rob Jeter and the coaching staff of men's basketball, for building the pro­gram we love the right way, from the ground up. Thanks to Sandy Botham, for always being a great quote, an unmatched cheerleader for Panther Athletics, and such a good person. To every one of the employees in the athletic depart­ment, for almost always keeping open doors and greeting me with a smile and candid discussion. To every student-athlete whose tire­less effort on the field of battle gave me inspiration and joy prob­ably too many times for my GPA to handle. I can't forget the parents of those student-athletes, who al­ways supported the students that cheered on their sons and daugh­ters, and defended us when we

probably took the taunts too far. To George Koonce, who did not

accept our status as a "mid-ma­jor," and did not shy away from trying to change that. I would be remiss to not extend my thanks to everyone who worked with me at the UWM Post, as my times in Union EG80 are some of the'hap­piest of my entire life. Thanks to alumni and fans who helped foster Panther Pride in me. While they're too numerous to name completely* I did want to thank Bob and Beth Altman, John Bartel, Paul Spicuzza, Fran Deisinger, Lou Weiher, Tom Sczerbiak, David and Lori Nicholas, the Van Dusens, Tom Hecker, Gerard Randle, and coach Dye in name.

There's no forgetting the Klotsche Krazies, or Jeter's Jungle, or the Panther Pack. Those stu­dents who shared my love for the Black and Gold made my time cheering on Milwaukee so much better. They preceded me - Mike Kennedy, Mike McMillan, Josh Bass, Nick Hoffman, Devin Kack, Ben Goodhue, and Justin Einerson. And they take over for me as I graduate - Travis Wacker, Korry Bertram, John Parker, Keerin Pinch, Jose Matamoros, and Derick Kelly are just a few of many.

Most of all, I want to thank Bud Haidet. It was shortly after his retirement announcement that I admitted to him, in an in­terview, that my dream job was the one he had performed so well for twenty years at UWM. Instead of continuing, the five-minute in­terview turned into a three-hour discussion of my future and what I needed to do to become the Athletic Director of the Panthers. He truly cared about me and my future, just as he did about the people who worked hard for him over the years. I don't believe there's an AD in the history of college sports with a better bat­ting average at hiring coaches than Bud.

Lastly, I want to thank you. It takes a lot of courage to stomach reading a textbook, but a lot more courage to read my weekly gar­bage. Thanks for allowing me to share my ideas and stories about the Milwaukee Panthers with you since I stepped on campus in September 2005. It's a time of my life that I will never forget, and I am beyond fortunate to have that time chronicled in the pages of the UWM Post. So, one last time, I proudly exclaim:

Fight! Fight! For UWM!

FOOTBALL Continued from page 8

following. We toil at a very large state school with a considerable alumni base and the distinction of being one of two UW schools without football (UWGB is the other). We fit the bill of the typical football school, and UWM is one of the five largest schools in the country without football.

Most people would expect the Panthers to field a losing team for several years before the success would come. The fact is that of the last 12 schools that started football in D-I, seven of them have had winning programs in their first season. The most recent such example is Old Dominion, a comparable school athletics-wise in the Colonial Athletic Association. The Mpnarchs played their first game in September, a beatdown

of Chowan, a D-II school from North Carolina. It would be the last such game for the Monarchs, as they went on to beat up on D-I competition. ODU ended their inaugural season 9-2, as well as 5th in the nation in attendance in FCS.

What we have to realize is that Milwaukee's university, UWM, is a sleeping giant in ath­letics. There are enough quality D-I football players to field an additional competitive program in the state. There are over 200 sons of the state of Wisconsin who have chosen to play football elsewhere because their state's "flagship" institution only has so many roster spots. How many players of D-I quality attend WIAC schools? How many play­ers of D-I quality chose to play at UW-Whitewater because the sec­ond major D-I football program doesn't exist in Wisconsin? My bet is more than a handful.

Where do we play? Of the

120 schools in FBS, more than a handful play off-campus, or even far off campus within the city. It's not just mid-majors, either. It's schools like Miami, UConn, Hawai'i, USF, big-time programs that don't play on-campus. But even if we did want to play on-campus, we could do it. The uni­versity's Master Plan researched the use of the land currently used by the Wisconsin Paperboard Company, located immediately north of the new Cambridge Commons dorms. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has published articles over the last two years detailing WPC's exploration of Milwaukee's west side, looking for a place that makes more sense for the company logistically. HGA and Sasake, the companies who oversee the Master Plan, thought of that land as a way to add green space to the univer­sity's neighborhood. How about a football stadium? I'll tell you one thing, North Avenue would

be one hell of a party on game day. Parking? Show me the park­ing for 86,000 people at Camp Randall and I'll try to find you some space to park for a UWM football game.

The fact of the matter is that for every dollar UWM spends on football, the benefits far out­weigh the detractions. It all comes down to cost. And if the commu­nity that makes up UWM really wants football, than they're go­ing to have to put their money where their mouth is.

We have a golden opportunity here, a university whose com­munity is begging for a reason to care. What needs to happen is a concerted, combined effort of students and alumni who are willing to put in the time and resources to sell people on that cause. They need to push for it, like a bulldozer. You can make it happen, you just need to get people together who care enough to put in the work and make it

happen. Every time this univer­sity grows, people think it won't happen. Lights on the soccer field? No way. A fourth tower of Sandburg? Not a chance. Schools of Freshwater Sciences and Pubic Health? I don't think so. But they happened. They're all going to happen, because UWM is no lon­ger the little brother to Madison. We are our own, full-fledged uni­versity that provides the admi­rable service of educating the people of this great state.

So no matter how you do it, be prepared to work for it over the long haul. Whether you're go­ing to put together a petition for the chancellor, or you plan to or­ganize a walk leading to a pep rally inside the Klotsche Center, or you want to climb the walls of Chapman Hall, know this: it takes a great deal of effort from a great number of people. But it will be worth it.

Because we Panthers deserve our Saturdays in the fall.

Phish takes on the big screen Phish 3-D movie hits theaters for a limited engagement

By Adam Barndt Staff Writer fringe@uwmpost.com

As if Phish fans didn't have enough reasons to light up and enjoy the jamband greats. Now they even have their own 3-D movie.

Phish 3-D opened at the­aters nationwide on April 30 for a brief, one-week run. The nearly two-and-a-half hour film features footage from the band's epic three-day "Festival 8" at the Coachella Music Festival grounds in Indio, California. A total of 18 songs captured in stunning 3-D from the 2009 Halloween weekend were used in the film.

The added depth gives the viewer the vantage point of a fly buzzing around the stage, gracefully zooming past Trey Anastasio's guitar neck, around ion Fishman's shimmering cymbals and through the audience.

Opening with a straight hour of heavy jam tunes, in­cluding Phish staples like "AC/DC Bag" and "Tweezer", the film also offers a glimpse into newer Phish songs, such as "Undermind" and "Stealing Time from the Faulty Plan."

The 3-D effects comple­ment the concert-film genre perfectly. The added depth gives the viewer the vantage point of a fly buzzing around the stage, gracefully zooming past Trey Anastasio's guitar neck, around Jon Fishman's shimmering cymbals and through the audience. Beach balls and balloons float out of

the screen, and Chris Kuroda's dazzling light show becomes an enveloping spectacle of its own. It's an experience that ought to leave viewers won­dering why all concert films aren't shot in 3-D.

The first set ends with a 15-minute rendition of "Maze," featuring mind-bending fre­netic cuts between the band members as the song builds to a fevered pitch. Switching gears, the film then transi­tions to selections from day two of the festival, including highlights from Phish's first full-length acoustic set.

Opening the acoustic set was a bluesy version of "Get Back on the Train." But don't let the term "acoustic" fool you - these songs were any­thing but calm or stripped-down. An impressive version of "The Curtain With" showed a band firing on all cylinders.

The film runs for at least an hour and a half before the band breaks from the stage for five minutes of crowd and rehearsal footage of their Halloween "musical costume" of the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street. This brief inter­lude is the only portion of the film that features any sort of behind-the-scenes or off-stage footage. It is this lack of inti­macy that keeps Phish 3-D from ranking among such concert-film greats as The Last Waltz or Concert for Bangladesh.

After the brief rehearsal footage, the film launches headfirst into performance selections from Exile on Main Street. Fit with a brass sec­tion and soulful back-up sing­ers (including Sharon Jones), Phish executes pristine cov­ers of "Loving Cup" and "Soul Survivor."

Truly a must-see for any Phish fan, Phish 3-D is a rous­ing film that should be a wel­come addition to any con­cert-film aficionado's collec­tion. Just, beware, the next concert film you see after Phish 3-D might be a bit of a disappointment.

Summer music festival guide By Jacob Schneider

fringe Editor

fringe@uwmpost.com

Well, it's that time of year again: the semester is coming to an end, and the summer concert an­nouncements are pouring in daily. It's time to start getting serious about your summer travel plans, especially if you plan on attending one of the region's many music festivals. Relax; you don't have to travel far, you don't even have to leave Milwaukee if you don't want to. But you should at least know what is being offered, so the Post has compiled this guide of music festivals to help you narrow your choices.

Verge Music Festival When: June 4-5 Where: Henry Maier Festival Park (Summerfest grounds) Milwaukee, Wis. Cost: $25 advanced single day tickets ($35 day of), $40 advanced two-day pass ($70 day of). Line-up: Weezer, AFI, Three Days Grace, Eagles of Death Metal, Cold War Kids, She & Him, Manchester Orchestra, Crash Kings, The Raveonettes, Rouge Wave, and more

Milwaukee's first - and hope­fully not last - annual alternative music festival on the Summerfest grounds is your chance to see Weezer perform for nearly half the price of their Eagles Ballroom show back in December. Sure, there are some other big names (AFI, Three Days Grace) on the "preliminary" line-up, but Weezer is arguably the biggest draw for potential festival goers. Along with its decent undercard and abundance of local acts, Verge promises to offer pro/am skate­boarding and BMX competitions, as well as a shopping market­place. Verge might not have the legs many had been hoping for, but if it has potential, especially if it makes it past its first year.

Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival When: June 10-13 Where: on a 700 acre farm in Manchester, Tenn. Cost: $249.50 four-day pass, VIP packages start at $1349.50 Line-up: Jay-Z, Stevie Wonder, The Flaming Lips, Dave Matthews Band, Kings of Leon, Weezer, Tenacious D, Conan O'Brien, The

Dead Weather, Damien Marley & Nas, Phoenix, John Fogerty, Jimmy Cliff, The Avett Brothers, The Black Keys, The National, and more.

Sprawled out on a 700 acre farm in Manchester Tenn., the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival has come a long way since its in­augural fest in 2002. Originally operated as a jam band oriented festival, in recent years Bonnaroo has taken a much more eclectic approach with its line-up, earning itself the reputation of America's biggest and best music festival. It's truly an experience like no other: taking in four straight days of mu­sic (practically around the clock) while camping out with 80,000 strangers. The key to surviving this four-day endurance trial is to remember that it's a marathon, not a sprint. If you don't get enough sleep, you'll never make it to the late night sets, and Bonnaroo is all about the late night.

Summerfest When: June 24-July 4 from noon to midnight Where: Henry Maier Festival Park (Lakefront) Milwaukee, Wis. Cost: $15 (Marcus Amphitheater shows require additional tickets). Line-up: Tom Petty, Eric Clapton, Santana, Rush, Usher, 311, Cage the Elephant^ Cypress Hill, Devo, Modest Mouse, Passion Pit, Public Enemy, Joan Jett, N.E.R.D. The Hold Steady, The Roots, STS9, Thievery Corporation, Umphrey's McGee, The Wailers, Weird Al Yankovic and more TBA.

It's easy for those of us who have lived in Wisconsin all our lives to take Summerfest for granted - especially when the line­up starts to look nearly identical year in and year out - but let's not forget that the "world's largest music festival" is right here in our backyard. Inevitably some of the old familiar faces will return in 2010, but this year's Summerfest lineup is quickly shaping up to be the best in recent history. Kudos to the big wigs of the Big Gig for mixing things up and taking a more youthful approach by offer­ing a decent amount of hip hop this year.

Pitchfork Music Festival When: July 16-18 Where: Union Park Chicago, 111. Cost: $90 three-day passes SOLD

OUT, $40 single day tickets still available Lineup: Pavement, Big Boi, LCD Soundsystem, Raekwon, Modest Mouse, Broken Social Scene, Beach House, Delorean, EL-P, Girls, Titus Andronicus, Wolf Parade, and more.

Pitchfork Music Festival -brought to you by the same folks that operate the highly influential music blog of the same name - is, in a nutshell, a hipster's paradise. Located in Chicago's Union Park, just blocks from the United Center this three-day festival is celebrat­ing its fifth year with its most im­pressive line-up yet. Featuring ac­claimed artists, up-and-comers, and a bunch of bands that you've probably never heard of, this is your chance to step out of your comfort zone, and to cross some big names of your checklist in the same weekend. Whether you're into underground hip hop, dream pop, or reggae fusion dancehall, Pitchfork has something for you.

Lollapalooza When Aug 6-8 Where: Grant Park Chicago, 111. Cost $215 three-day pass, $850 three-day VIP pass Line-up: Soundgarden, Green Day, Lady Gaga, Arcade Fire, The Strokes, Phoenix, MGMT, Jimmy Cliff, Hot Chip, Spoon, Devo, Erykah Badu, Grizzly Bear, Gogol Bordello, Chromeo, Yeasayer, The xx, Blitzen Trapper, Minus the Bear, 2ManyDJs, and more.

The brain child of Perry Farrell, Lollapalooza started in 1991 as a farewell tour for Jane's Addiction; today this top-tier festival hosts some of the biggest names in in­die and alternative music. Tucked between Michigan Avenue and Lake Michigan, this once national touring festival has found a per­manent home in the luscious con­fines of Chicago's Grant Park. With 150 plus bands playing over the course of three days there are bound to be schedule overlaps leaving you to choose between some of your favorite bands. The key is to pick and choose your bat­tles wisely. For instance, you might opt to watch band X (who is play­ing a one off reunion show) over band Y (who you've already seen three times this year). Of course there is always a healthy amount of after shows scattered through­out the city that might help alle­viate some of those tougher deci­sions, if you're willing to spend the extra dough. Remember, there is no camping at Lollapalooza, so the sooner you book a hotel, the closer you will be staying in prox­imity to the park.

Artists against Arizona Arizona immigration law provokes outrage

By Jackie Dreyer Staff Writer fringe@uwmpost.com

When Seth Meyers ad­dresses an issue on Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update," it's a sign that he has some­thing important to say and everyone should listen up.

"I know there are some peo­ple in Arizona worried that Obama is acting like Hitler," Meyers said during a recent episode of the show. "But can we all agree that there's noth­ing more Nazi than saying 'Show me your papers?'"

Governor Jan Brewer of

Arizona recently signed SB 1070, a law that would require the police "when practicable" to detain people who they reasonably suspected were in the country without authori­zation. It would also allow im­migrants to be charged with a state crime for not carry­ing immigration documents. Furthermore, the law allows residents to sue local gov­ernment or agencies if they believe the law is not being, enforced.

Cries of outrage immedi­ately ensued, coming from civilians nationwide and even from President Barack

Obama himself. The presi­dent strongly criticized the law saying that it threatens "to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans as well as the trust between police and our com­munities that is so crucial to keeping us safe."

Many well-known celeb­rities have also come out against the law. Shakira, a Colombian singer-songwriter and dancer known for her philanthropic work, is at the forefront of the celebrity op­position. The singer recently flew to Phoenix to meet Police Chief Jack Harris and Mayor Phil Gordon over her con­cerns that the new law will prompt racial profiling.

"I heard about it on the news and I thought, 'Wow,'" Shakira said. "It is unjust and it is inhuman and it violates the civil human rights of the Latino community ... It goes against all human dignity, against the principles of most Americans I know."

On that same day, Puerto Rican pop singer Ricky Martin spoke out at the Billboard Latin Music Awards ceremony.

"This is not in the script ... this law makes no sense," Martin said in his native Spanish. "You are not alone. We are with you. Put a stop to discrimination. Put a stop to hate. Put a stop to racism ... Long live love. Long live peace."

Martin got a standing ova­tion that night. Shakira's trip to Arizona's state capitol in downtown Phoenix was met by throngs of people, scream­ing her name and taking pho­tos. Other artists in alliance are Paulina Rubio, a Mexican pop singer; Calle 13, a Puerto Rican hip-hop group; Gael Garcia Bernal, a Mexican ac­tor; and Larry Hernandez, 2010's Billboard Latin Artist of the Year.

"It's regrettable that they are discriminating against us for the simple fact of looking Latino," Hernandez said. "It's not fair. We have to say no to that law."

Bittersweet and back again The Hold Steady break from youth By Steven Franz Staff Writer fringe@uwmpost.com

"I'm gonna give you some advice," drones The Hold Steady singer Craig

Finn desperately on "Soft in the Center," the second track on the exceptional Heaven is Whenever. For once he's not singing from the point of view of youthful indiscretions - drugs, sex, sin and regret -but from knowledge, age and wisdom.

The Hold Steady has al­ways been a band of American

youth, the adventure of ado­lescence and the experiences, good or bad, that go hand-in-hand with it. But at some point they must age, mature and face the consequences of their decisions.

Six albums into their illus­trious career, that point has come and the results are con­flicted, bittersweet, and in the end, knowingly and tragically unchanged.

It's not clear at whom those sage words of advice are di­rected - a friend, a child or Finn himself - but it's clear that they fall on deaf ears. It's almost like Finn is some

postmodern narrator of his own life (few bands actually are as winkingly postmodern as The Hold Steady), aware of the choices and the price of excess as he repeatedly in­dulges in vices while clearly understanding the threat they pose.

Heaven is Whenever is an al­bum about realizing mistakes while continuing to make them. It is obvious here that Finn is speaking through the crow's feet and regret of age, through the grim filter of knowing how the play ends before he buys the ticket.

"It's not gonna be like in ro­mantic comedies/In the end I bet no one learns a lesson" is a line that would never be heard

on the band's 2006 masterpiece Boys and Girls in America, be­cause despite how tragic The Hold Steady album's could be -2008's Stay Posfiveprominently featured the destructive after­math of a murder - they were always a profoundly hopeful band, well aware (and optimis­tic) that something better was on the horizon. People even­tually emerge from downward spirals as confident adults all the better for our experience. As the band said, "We've gotta stay positive."

That sense of upbeat, posi­tive hope is gone on Heaven is Whenever. In its place is a growing bittersweet wistful-ness for the days of purity and innocence. The narrator half­heartedly regurgitates scrip­ture and takes another hit from the syringe.

This album pines for the old days and gets lost in great records spinning on actual turntables ("The Sweet Part of the City," the album's opening track, actually begins with the sound of a needle striking a re­cord). It lectures kids on the stupidity of mosh pits while it getting lost on the floor at a rock show. Here, as with

Springsteen on Born to Run, The Hold Steady is well aware of its own mortality but not quite able to accept what that actually means.

Heaven is Whenever is an album about realizing mistakes while continuing to make them.

The protagonist of "Our Whole Lives" may be hur­riedly and guiltily reciting his sins to the waiting con­fessional booth, but he's right back at it that night - drink­ing, screwing, getting high and trying desperately to get one last glimpse of youth. God knows everyone feels like that sometimes.

Deftones find meaning in loss Sixth studio effort finds band with new producer, bassist

like title track, played in 17/8 time, foretells "Time will see us realign/Diamonds rain across the sky/Shower me into the same realm." While the literate and passionate "This Place is Death" seems to come closer to purgatory than death, the song's star-crossed lovers "erupt in colors" and etch their names into an un­named space.

By Graham Marlowe Staff Writer fringe@uwmpost.com

#§i> In a scene where subtlety seldom

^ pokes through deafening volume,

the Deftones have continu­ally made their mark through impressionist means. The Sacramento quintet brings a unique sophistication to al­ternative metal, regardless of how many subgenres they incorporate.

In November 2008, long­time bassist Chi Cheng was critically injured in a car ac­cident, leaving him in a coma­tose condition that halted the band's progress. After nearly a year of trying to replace Cheng, the band decided to move forward with former Quicksand bassist Sergio Vega.

Rising from the ashes of the abandoned Eros, Diamond Eyes finds the band under

new production guidance, but with similar artistic vi­sion. While Diamond Eyes al­ludes to the band's crushing and emotive efforts of the past, this release is their most lyrrcally coherent and musi­cally direct. Lush harmonies are audible like never before, and the lyrics move imagery and sentiments from opaque to oblique. Second-person lyrics continue to reference ghostly characters and situa­tions, creating an ambiguous reality where the titles still seem irrelevant to the songs themselves.

Vocalist Chino Moreno's changed demeanor is the most significant shift this time around. Letting go of the urge to whisper and scream his shadowy poetry, Moreno frequently trades in his dysto­pian resignation for surprising flashes of serenity. This is best evidenced by the woozy deliv­ery of the opening and closing tracks ("Diamond Eyes," "This Place is Death"). The chrome-

Rising from the ashes of the abandoned Eros, Diamond Eyes finds the band under new production guidance, but with similar artistic vision. Image courtesy of Warner Bros./Reprise Records.

With Diamond Eyes, the band's lyrics have gained a new sense of coherency previ­ously absent from their work. Moreno now alludes to "the world outside" as if it's a place he's long abandoned; fans have never quite deciphered just what it is that configures the band's musical world. On this album, their surround­ings include "custom-made nightmares" ("Royal"), tor­tured desires ("Prince"), and

disguised sexuality ("You've Seen the Butcher"), as the me­lodic material flirts with the shoegaze half-stare of Kevin Shields. As "CMND/CTRL" in­dicates, Moreno is switching command simply "because [he] can."

Despite several clear in­novations on this record, the band has not yet fully out­grown its past. "Risk," per­haps the best example of their eternally two-toned lyrical content, suggests that listen­ers are unsure whether the narrator is asking us to take his hand amidst flying shrap­

nel, or if he's locked in the warm embrace of someone. But, if we call "976-EVIL" or visit "Beauty School," answers are still not provided, remind­ing us that only the Deftones can depict such vivid imagery while simultaneously creating impenetrable conclusions.

The album's meaning is so convoluted that it's hard to surmise whether Moreno is discussing anything but dark sexual fantasies at times. In the end, it is this exciting am­biguous quality that stands out amid the band's newfound musical strength.

Josh Ritter's literary rock Idaho native releases sixth full-length

?-

By Trapper Schoepp Asst. fringe Editor fringe@uwmpost.com

„** After releasing Historical Conquests

* in 2007, Josh Ritter found himself at an

artistic standstill. "I wanted to write and I wanted to play, but nothing, nothing felt right to me anymore. Suddenly, af­ter all my effort, I had lost my confidence in the force and originality of my own work," explained Ritter.

Lying awake one night, Ritter ended his creative drought by crafting an epic narrative entitled "The Curse." The tragic, piano-based ballad explores a rela­tionship between a personi­fied mummy and an archae­ologist. After discovering the mummy, she devotes herself entirely to its study until her death. With romantic lan­guage, Ritter uses the wom­an's attraction to the mummy as an effective analogy for how love and desire can be burdensome to individuality. Creating a basis for the rest

of the songs off Ritter's latest, So Runs the World Away, "The Curse" documents an undy­ing quest to find meaning in human existence.

As in "The Curse," the nar­rator in "Another New World" dedicates himself to the dis­covery of an inanimate object. With a Leonard Cohen-esque vocal delivery, Ritter narrates a search for Annabel Lee, "The most beautiful ship in the sea." Again, Ritter person­ifies the object as if it replaces the animate aspects of the character's life. "We talked of the other new worlds we dis­covered/Till she gave up her body to me/And as I chopped up her main sail for timber/I told her of all that we still had to see." However, the narra­tor in "Another New World" is much more conscious of his sacrifice than the archaeolo­gist. The narrator reflects, "I won't pretend that the search for another new world/Was well worth the burning of mine."

"Lantern" retains the same literary merits of "Another New World," but boasts an in­

fectious pop-sensibility and a tendered narrator. Its refrain finds Ritter pleading, "Be the light of my lantern/The light of my lantern tonight." In a world where "the living is des­perate, precarious and mean," Ritter reveals his desire for a companion, and continues to do so in "See How Man Was Made." Ritter stretches his words out to their breathless limits and howls, "Please, man ain't supposed to live alone."

Brilliantly, the characters in So Runs the World Away have the same desperate as­pirations that Ritter had prior to writing the 13-track collec­tion. Ritter's quest for musi­cal, verve mirrors the ambi­tion of the archaeologist and the arctic explorer, who finds significance in a seemingly existential existence. And while the instrumental quali­ties of Ritter's music remain compelling, it is his remark­able ability to tell a story that sets him apart from others in contemporary rock and roll music.

Summer blockbuster preview By Sean Willey

Enough, Hollywood! Your movies are the envy of the world, but all you seem to be able to offer this summer are either remakes or drawn-out franchises. Toy Story, Shrek, Sex and the City, Robin Hood (what was wrong with Kevin Costner's portrayal?) and The Karate Kid all ran their course, so let them rest peacefully, their legacy left untarnished.

But amidst all these junky remakes and slipshod sequels, Hollywood still manages some promising successes this summer.

horror in George Romero's sixth installment of his "Dead" series, Survival of the Dead. The on-screen display of hu­man struggle in a zombie-de-structed world is a seemingly refreshing way to kick off the summer months.

If a shotgun shell tearing through undead flesh is not your inclination, then Love Ranch might work a little more in your favor. The film is based on the real-life story of a married couple named Joe and Sally Conforte who to­gether opened the first legal brothel in the United States. These unique entrepreneurs are played by Joe Pesci and

Helen Mirren. When July comes rolling

in, / Love You Phillip Morris will be hitting select screens across the country. .This highly anticipated film, star­ring Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor, will focus on the real-life story of Steven Jay Russell, a convicted conman who falls in love with his cell­mate Phillip Morris.

Employing a different co­medic approach, Winnebago Man will also be premier-ing in July. The documen­tary explores the infamous "Winnebago Man" YouTube clip and shows how being an Internet phenomenon can af­fect an individual's life. Both comedies are anticipated to be giant successes in smaller cinemas.

The independents will fin­

ish off the summer months with some intriguing crime dramas. Premiering in August is Takers, a bank heist movie that has Matt Dillon and Hayden Christensen at the helm.

Audiences that need a break from computer-generated imagery and 3-D experiences can hit the smaller theaters for lesser-known (yet equally-compelling) films.

Finally, just in time for fall, George Clooney will be gracing the screen in The American. This drama finds Clooney playing an assassin who needs to go into hiding to escape assassination.

The usual ambiance of sum­

mer films rests in their non­chalant tendencies. Whether or not these films contain that aesthetic, they are sure to please audiences around the nation. So give the little guy a chance this season - you won't regret it.

sure to use plenty of water based lubricant during anal penetration. Water based lube is the safest kind of lu­bricant and will not leave a film like other lubes that can harbor bacteria and cause an infection. The anus does not naturally lubricate itself, so it is important to adequately lubricate both the penetrator and the penetratee.

Take Your Time

Trying to jam a penis or object into an anus quickly will only result in pain and possible damage to your partner. It's important to take your time and make

By Jon Tingley Columnist sex@uwmpost.com

Anal penetration used to be a ta­boo topic. In fact, for some of you, it. might still be. What used to be

relegated to men playing in bathhouses and Bally's locker rooms is now a wide­spread form of sexual inter­course enjoyed by all differ­ent sexual orientations and genders.

Yep, that's right, women can be stimulated by anal sex too. While it can be a fun experiment for you and your partner, it is incredibly im­portant to incorporate safe practice into your anal sex explorations.

Let's start with the ba­sics. Anal penetration can be pleasurable for everyone, regardless of gender mainly due to the high amount of nerve endings concentrated in that area. A common mis­conception is that women don't experience pleasure

because they don't have a prostate.

This is true, women do not have a prostate, but their clitoris do have legs; these legs extend back to the anus making anal pen­etration pleasurable for some women. Men do have a prostate and the location of which is often referred to as the male G-spot. Rubbing the prostate through anal pen­etration can often lead to an orgasm.

Many people decide not to participate in anal penetra­tion with their sexual part­ner or even on their own be­cause of the pain associated. This kind of sexual pleasure actually doesn't have to be a pillow-biting experience when done correctly. I'm of­ten surprised by my sexu­ally active gay male friends who are still experiencing extreme pain during sex­ual intercourse even though they have experience. It just goes to show you that even those with apparent sexual know-how can have it wrong sometimes.

There are a few things to remember when considering taking it up the butt:

Communication & Comfort

Like I always say people, communication is key and before you and your partner can have pleasurable anal in­tercourse, both of you need to be fully willing and ready to take this step. Trying to coerce your partner into having anal sex with you is just going to leave you both unsatisfied.

Relax

Your anus has two barriers to get through called sphinc­ters in order to achieve pene­tration. You have full control over the exterior sphincter and the only way anything is getting through with limited pain is if you allow yourself to relax. Relaxation is criti­cal to safe and pleasurable penetration.

Use Lube

I'm not talking about sticky, latex-based gels. Make

• sure thai you'i'g<MglpiiTg','5'low enough to not only be com­fortable, but also to let the muscles in the anus relax and allow for penetration to happen. Taking your time can also mean experiment­ing with smaller objects like fingers or toys and work your way up to anal intercourse. Practicing with things of a smaller size may make you and your partner more com­fortable when trying out the real thing.

I've talked for a few hun­dred words now about "your partner," but you don't to be partnered to have great anal pleasure or any pleasure for that matter. In fact, when it comes to anal sex, it might be a good idea to take a test drive when you're in control so you know how it needs to be done for you. There are plenty of devices out there to assist you in your plea­sure-seeking adventures and they come in all shapes, sizes, colors and wattages. Toys aren't just for women and they aren't just for the gays.

Many people think that anal penetration is some­thing only gay men can en­joy, but as I told you ear­lier, women can enjoy it too and, well straight guys have

prostates too. While having vaginal intercourse, it can often heighten a man's or­gasm when his partner mas­sages his prostate through his anal wall. There are also toys available that are meant to stimulate a man anally while having vaginal inter­course. If you're tired of the same old sexual routine, maybe it's time to try a little ass-play.

While it can be very fun, anal sex is considered a high-risk sexual activity. When not done properly, anal pen­etration can lead to damage of the sphincter, rectum and anal wall and can open the

-brjdt"tip"to 'infectious mi­cro organisms found in fe­cal matter. Using alcohol or drugs to make anal sex eas­ier can often lead to dam­age of the anal tissue be­cause these substances tem­porarily lower the sensitiv­ity of the area. By using safe sex practices and following guidelines for healthy anal sex, you limit both you and your partner's risk.

If any of this is scary to you, you'll be happy to know that you don't neces­sarily need to penetrate the anus to get pleasure in the area. Stimulating the area around the sphincter can also heighten or induce an orgasm and for men, rub­bing the patch of skin be­tween the anus and the scro­tum can often have a similar effect of anal penetration.

The important thing to know is that you should be having safe, educated fun. If you don't know how to do something correctly you owe it to yourself to ask some­one or seek that informa­tion from a knowledgeable source. The more you know about safe and positive sex practices, the better your ex­periences will be.

BLOCKBUSTER Continued from page 15

Letters to Juliet (May 21)

It sounds cliche, but what if you had a second chance at love? Letters to Juliet blends Shakespeare's iconic story with those of the hopeless ro­mantic. Set in Verona, Italy (the fictional location of "Romeo and Juliet"), Sophie (Amanda Seyfried, Chloe) visits a court­yard where the heartbroken leave letters asking Juliet for guidance. While Juliet's "sec­retaries" answer all the letters, one seems to have been for­gotten. Now it's up to Sophie to recreate a 50-year lost love, along with her own. Letters for Juliet may sound typical, but it adds something unselfish to the typical girl-gets-guy story. Passion for others' love can lead to our own Shakespearian romance.

Splice (June 4)

In what is perhaps among most controversial movies of the decade, Splice focuses on the evolutionary line science can cross in human develop­ment. Two scientists (Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley), want­ing only to solidify themselves in the scientific community, partake in an ethically-ques­tionable activity: splicing to­gether human and animal DNA. As the slightly human female-animal hybrid matures and bonds to its creators, ev­erything seems peachy, until they can no longer control her rapid progression. They now have on their hands a super­human flying interbred. Don't think too far into the biotech-nical questions this movie provokes. Instead, consider the personal question: where would you draw the line? Where does financial inspira­tion end and greed begin?

The A-Team (July 11)

Four Iraq War U.S. soldiers (Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Sharlto Copley and Quinton Jackson) are imprisoned by the U.S government for a crime they didn't commit. Fueled not only to escape and clear their names, the soldiers will stop at nothing to bring to justice those who framed them. Aside from the weirdness of pretty-boy Bradley Cooper playing an action hero, this film has the potential to be a kick-ass movie. Of course it's loaded with visual and special effects, but the realistic plot of revenge touches home more than any super-hero movie ever could.

Twilight: Eclipse (June 30)

The chick-flick of the sum­mer might just see more guys filling the theaters than ever before. Dealing with her new found immortality and her divided love for Jacob and Edward, Bella must band to­gether with her two loves. An outcast band of vampires are threatening to destroy every­thing. While this movie will be loaded with heartfelt sen­timent, it is sure to be filled with visual effects. Perhaps the biggest draw to the movie will be the friendship Jacob and Edward form as their gang of vampires and werewolves join

together in epic battle.

Inception (July 16)

Your last safe haven has now been infiltrated: your mind. Leonardo DiCaprio stars in this mind-bending sci-fi thriller that dares to show us the potential of the most powerful "parasite." The world now has the technology for dream invasion and therefore can posses your most power­ful memory and make it the deadliest. Director Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight) faced the challenging task of weaving mazes, dreams and virtual re­ality into two hours of thrilling suspense. Inception will prob­ably be the most thought-pro­voking flick of the summer.

Beastly (July 30)

Simply put, Kyle (Alex Pettyfer) will stay a hideous monster unless he finds some­one who loves him for his in­ner beauty. Cursed by a witch (Mary-Kate Olsen) for flaunting his ego, Kyle is left alone in a Brooklyn apartment with very little company. This is a mod­ern-day remake of Beauty and the Beast, but one that, like its central lesson, has substance over style. If you don't want to watch the Disney story, you can watch the high school adaptation.

Give porn its place XXX domains would help all parties

By Jason Kopplin

Editorial Editor

editorial@uwmpost.com

Most major cit­ies have a red light district where one can go to satisfy more base de­

sires. In Baltimore, for ex­ample, all the strip clubs and porn shops are on a single four-block strip known locally as "The Block." It's practi­cal fo'r the perverts and keeps the kids'safe. Everybody wins. Why should the Internet be any different?

There's no way to muscle the world's v i r tua l p o r n in such a

manner but allowing a .xxx domain would be a step in the right direction.

The Internet Corporation for Assigning Names and Numbers (ICANN), the body that regulates web domains, has been toying with the idea of adding a .xxx domain to go with the more familiar .com, .edu, and others.

In 2005 ICANN approved the addition but retracted the decision two years later be­fore it could be implemented. A group of U.S. judges later ruled ICANN's reasons for pulling support weren't valid and they needed to reconsider the issue. Public debate opens May 10.

Critics argue it would be too difficult to enforce a .xxx domain requirement. Some porn purveyors don't like the idea of being forced into a digi­tal ghetto. Conservatives feel it would legitimize the porn trade online.

Like many political debates, this issue is bogged down in absolutist, binary rhetoric. The situation called for a more

nuanced, practical approach. In an ideal world, all "adult"

sites could be forced to adopt the new domain. Those who wanted to block access to such content could easily apply a fil­ter. But that will never happen. The Internet is too vast an un­wieldy to ever regulate.

Pornographers can't be forced to move, but why wouldn't they? While there are undoubtedly shady opera­tors looking to target minors, wouldn't a legit outlet want to be in a higher profile section of the web where they could target people looking specifi­cally for that type of content. It would have to be more ef­fective than all those e-mails wasting away in untold spam folders at any rate.

While ICANN couldn't re­quire .xxx domains, it would be beneficial to at least offer them as an option. At-the very least there's no good reason not to.

Furthermore, IGANN can't afford to keep up this mean­ingless fight. Over the years, this debate has burned through over $7 million - $5 million in legal fees and $2 million of ICANN's own funds for research. That's a lot of money wasted on the seman­tics of where people can get their rocks off online.

"The Block" in Baltimore came about because the city had a rampant smut problem. Urban legend says over time police and local government corralled the adult industry into one section of the city. This way, at least they could keep an eye on the smut sell­ers and residents could easily avoid it.

There's no way to muscle the world's virtual porn in such a manner, but allowing a .xxx domain would be a step in the right direction. Speech doesn't need to be restricted but those poor children every­one wants us to think of all the time could be a little bit safer.

It's not a perfect solution and requires all sides involved to give a little. That has to be painful for pundits - but prac­ticality wins on the web and in real life.

No room for politics in sports

By Antony Kamps

Special to the Post

On -Apri l 24, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed the nation's toughest immi­gration bil l. The law is aimed to identify, prosecute, and de­port illegal immigrants. The problem with the bill boils down to the broad power given to the police to detain anyone suspected of being in the country illegally. The constitutionality of the law is important. Everyone in this country should debate the bil l , but sports teams should keep out of the discussion.

Protesters have begun to boycott all professional Arizona sports teams. New York Congressman Jose Serrano has called for Major League Baseball to move its 2011 All Star Game from Arizona to a different loca­t ion. This is ridiculous. The owners and .players aren't legislators. Trying to get the law changed by standing out-

side of Wrigley Field while the Diamondbacks are in town is not going to help anything. At the same t ime these teams should not be picking sides either.

The Phoenix Suns wore an alternate jersey as a protest to the new law. The Suns jer­seys instead read 'Los Suns' across the front on May 5 - Cinco de Mayo. There are a couple problems with this protest. First and foremost it is a form of protest. Protests should stay off the playing field. Sports, in general, have a history of not looking kindly on athletes who protest. Secondly, I am no Spanish linguist but Los Suns trans­lates to The Suns. This is fine because that is the name of the team, but el sol is the true translation of sun in Spanish. So, what the Suns have put on the jerseys is a form of Spanglish; part English and part Spanish. How is that hon­oring the Latin community by

trashing their language? Athletes who protest have

been singled out and pun­ished in the past. In the 1996 NBA season Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf refused to stand for the National Anthem. He was suspended for one game and had to come to a com­promise for the rest of his career. The most notable ath­lete protest was at the 1968 Olympics. When Tommie Smith and John Carlos wore a black glove on one hand and raised that hand during the National Anthem. They ended up being treated as outsiders upon their return to the U.S. Protests by athletes at sport­ing events have always been frowned upon and this should be no different.

By allowing the Suns to use their logo as a form of protest the NBA is opening a door that can never be shut. They are also allowing a team to ostracize the fans of the game. Not all fans of the Suns think the .bill is wrong. This is why protests should be left off the court, field and arena. Play sports f irst. Protest sec­ond. If any of the players on the Phoenix Suns want to talk about how they disagree with the new law do it after the game. There are hundreds of reporters who you can pro­test to in the locker room af­ter the game.

Athletes who protest have been singled out and punished in the past

When a law is controver­sial it should be discussed, and if need be, protested. The protests should be di­rected at the ones who make the laws, not the professional sports teams that reside in said state. If a professional player or owner of a profes­sional team disagrees with a law then by all means join in on the protest-. Please though, keep the protests outside of the sport ing events. Fans come to the sport ing event to support the team and to watch a game they love, not to see a protest.

Israelpalooza 2010 at UWM marred by violence By Winter Guite

If students cannot deal with one another with civility and mutual respect on cam­pus, if they cannot express their opinions without intim­idating others, if the words and symbols of hatred are allowed to go unchallenged, then the university cannotful-fill its core educational mis­sion. Last Thursday events took place on Spaights Plaza, which have cast a shadow over this campus.

On Thursday, Jewish Student Services-Hillel planned a day of fun and en­tertainment to commemo­rate the 62nd birthday of the State of Israel. Unfortunately, the day ended with an alter­cation between Muslim and Jewish students that resulted in an arrest.

MP'I'ffiJMmiy ui my LUIU-bration began on a sour note as Jewish students and Hillel Executive Director Heidi Rattner arrived to f ind that Spaights Plaza outside the UWM Union had been covered the night before with anti-Semitic and anti-Israel graf­fit i that even included a swas­tika. Calls to "Free Palestine" and statements equating Israel with apartheid were side by side with even more hate-filled graffit i that can­not be repeated. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, members of the Muslim Student .Association (MSA) and Students for a Democratic Society admitted to wri t ing the political mes­sages but not the swastika.

Such blatant ignorance and intolerance was not go­ing to stop us from enjoying our day and the event con­tinued in spite of the ranting of small-minded individuals with chalk. A rock cl imbing wall provided a centerpiece for the day's festivities along with snacks and a birthday cake for Israel that went rather quickly. Loudspeakers played popular Israeli tunes and tables with displays high­lighting Israeli technological advances that revolutionized our world alongside famous Jews were on hand to help educate our fellow students about the amazing positive impacts that have come from a tiny country the size of New Jersey. Despite standing on and around the abundance of hate speech directed towards us, the mood was most defi­nitely jovial. This was not to last, however.

According to the report in the Milwaukee Journal

Sentinel, a group of students who are members of the Muslim Student Association joined the celebration around noon and disrupted the event. After int imidating several stu­dents with words and actions they were asked to move to the area set aside in the plaza for free speech.

The students f rom the MSA waved Palestinian flags and continued to make de­rogatory comments toward the Jewish students attend­ing the event. Although the representatives from the MSA were asked several t imes to move to the area designated for such speech they bla­tantly refused to comply with school officials.

Members of the MSA con­t inued to re-enter the area reserved for the event after being told they were not wel-

Both sides at fault for violence at Israel event

yip myujjuwj-

By Yamin Masalkhi

A celebration of Israel's "62nd Birthday" took place in Spaights Plaza last week. Unfortunately, a series of events led to a conflict that both sides have taken the chance to admit they regret. One thing that I would like to point out is that the Muslim Student Association (MSA), as a student organization, had nothing to do with the events.

Rather, a handful of Pro-Palestinian students, includ­ing myself, wanted to express what 62 years of Israel means to us. We didn't "graffiti" any­thing, we chalked facts that directly pertain to Israel's ex­istence; facts that are pain­fully hard to ignore. One of my chalkings, for example, pointed out that "Israel mas­sacred 1,500 Palestinians in Gaza last year." This is sim­ply a fact and I stand by it

and if MSA is to take any ac­tion in the aftermath of the Thursday events, that just so happened to include some of its members, it is to stand in solidarity with Hillel and the Jewish students of UWM in opposition to such a hateful, pointless, and unnecessary symbol.

We're glad that the "igno­rance and intolerance" of our "small minds" didn't stop the Jewish students from cele­brating Israel's birthday, but I would like to know how "ig­norant" it really is to edu­cate students on the facts of the issue. Israel's actions in the Middle East, since its existence, have amounted to nothing short of butchery. Here's another one of our chalking facts: For every one Israeli that dies in the con­flict, 300 Palestinians lose their lives. Our small minds can't figure out how the or­ganizers of the event didn't

display. She immediately cried that

we were beingdisruptive when in fact we were nothing of the sort. Not only does Guite ig­nore that fact which led to the tensions between our groups in his opinion piece, but also that the Palestinian flag was thrown in the trash by the Jewish student that got hit. Violence is never acceptable on a college campus, but I don't recall it ever being okay to throw an entire people's flag in the trash while others of the organization yell "you don't even have a country."

The bottom line is that both sides were at fault and deserve equal blame. Three of us from the mishap on Thursday met with Hillel rep­resentatives on Friday to talk about what happened and work together to build a stron­ger relationship between the students of our respective sides. The meeting was pro-

mm. \m ywyyimu, TT^Er^^HTTrTSTTTOyTffSyne'eTr to address that issue or at least expect that someone may bring it up.

Instead, at the sight of pro-Palestinian students at her event, Heidi Rattner decided it just simply wasn't for us. Our group had planned to en­gage in a debate to express our side of the issue and learn more about what the students of Hillel had to say in turn. We were completely calm and non-confrontational until Rattner came at us, gun-blazingly mad, demanding that campus security and po­lice force us away from their

T^T^TT JTTrF uue TO rn rvt? ness. The Journal Sentinel quoted MSA President Yamin Masalkhi saying that "some of the hotheads in our group" scaled the cl imbing wall and hung a Palestinian flag f rom the top. The flag was promptly removed by an em­ployee of Adventure Rock, which led to the altercation, the injury of the Jewish stu­dent and the arrest of his al­leged assailant.

Since the incident, the president of the Muslim Student Association has met with Hillel leaders and apolo­gized for the behavior of his members. This is a positive step and we hope that it indi­cates a sincere commitment to renounce these tactics of intimidation in the future. We also look forward to meeting with representatives of the

'administrat ion to review what took place on Thursday and what might have been done to promote harmony rather than fear. Important lessons must be drawn from this in­cident to ensure that every student on this campus feels secure.

This incident was not only contrary to the mission of this university, it was an af­front to the very values that we hold dear as Americans. We call on every member of the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee community and faculty, administrators and students alike - to make this a campus free of hatred, in­tolerance and int imidation. If we believe in everything this school and this coun­try stands for, we can do no less.

Winter Guite is a UWM student.

on the other hand, is not a drawing that anyone I was chalking with had anything to do with.

We don't know who drew the swastika and we find it com­pletely counter-productive to the point of our message of that day. A message that was, in plain terms, in opposition to the illegal Israeli occupa­tion of Palestinian lands, 62 years of Palestinian displace­ment, oppression, and contin­uous rejection of the basic hu­man rights of the Palestinian people. A swastika does noth­ing to further that message,

jctive ana we an Telt it was well worth the time.

Hillel and members of our group have exchanged apologies and are look­ing to move forward. After all, the issues facing Israel and the Palestinians are real, and even though we're in Wisconsin, thousands of miles away from the real con­flict, I'm glad our sides were able to sit together and come to sensible solutions.

Yamin Masalki is president of the UWM Muslim Student Association.

Pet of the Week

R.I.P. Snickers Snickers lived a long, long 16+ years, and when her t ime finally came she died peacefully at home, not causing her family any worry or a larm. She was an incredibly loyal dog, once being taken on a 5 mile walk through a city neighborhood with no leash, and wait ing patiently at every corner along the way. She endured the torment of two kids and was always toler­ant of their lack of coordinat ion or gentle­ness. Snicker was often compared in looks to a otter, an o t toman, or even a hedge­hog. She will be very missed and long remembered.

Addalets The object of the game is to take every letter that makes up the spell­ing of the Theme Word(s), at the top of the game, and add them to the group of Puzzle Words (in the pyramid below) in order to form new words that have different meanings. Each letter in the Theme Word can only be used ONCE per puzzle. Once all the letters have been matched up with the correct puzzle word, and all new (Addalet) words are created, the game is solved.

One Rule;

You may add the chosen letter anywhere in the Puzzle Word, 'EXCEPT' at the END of the word.
