City, county partner to save food aid program

The City of Madison and Dane County announced Monday they will partner together to ensure low-income individuals can continue to use their food stamp dollars at the Dane County Farmers’ Market.

Low-income individuals that are eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, a federal food aid program, often use Electronic Benefit Transfer cards. These cards provide a plas-

tic payment form that have been accepted at the farmers’ market and resulted in over $50,000 fed-eral food assistance dollars being spent in 2013, which is the most federal food assistance dollars of any market in Wisconsin, accord-ing to a statement from the may-or’s office.

The Community Action Coalition has covered the cost of the program since 2012, accord-ing to the statement. In the begin-ning of the year, the CAC indicat-ed they would not have enough funds to continue covering the EBT program cost.

“We are pleased to join the county to ensure program-ming is maintained at the Dane County Farmers’ Market for SNAP participants,” Mayor Paul Soglin said in the state-ment. “SNAP is the critical safety net in the fight against

hunger and programming at farmers’ markets provides equal opportunity for everyone to access fresh, healthy and local food.”

Dane County Executive Joe Parisi echoed the mayor’s sen-timent, emphasizing the impor-tance of access to locally grown, healthy food.

“This partnership with the City of Madison will help ensure that people have more access to fresh food, healthy food for their families,” Parisi said in the statement. “The SNAP pro-gram, and maintaining its link to farmers markets, is critical for so many families.”

Organizations that volunteer to help operate EBT program for SNAP users will have the option of requesting additional funding for other markets.

University police arrested a man for disruptive behavior in Sellery Hall following a call reporting the man was knock-ing on various dorm room doors around 4:20 p.m. Monday, University of Wisconsin-Madison Police Department spokesperson

Marc Lovicott said.Once police arrived on the

scene, the man in question refused to cooperate and resist-ed being taken into custody, Lovicott said. He was eventu-ally seized, but not before an altercation with an officer, which

resulted in the use of a Taser against the perpetrator, accord-ing to a UWPD news release.

Both the offender and the UWPD officer, who sustained a hand injury as a result of the confrontation, were taken to a local hospital for evaluation,

Lovicott said. The officer is expected to make a full recovery.

Students were not in danger at any point during the incident, Lovicott said.

The investigation is ongoing, and the man’s identity and cause of the incident remain unknown.

Plan Commission approves local ‘tiny houses’ projectBy Dana KampaTHE DAILY CARDINAL

One side of the room cheered while the other sat in silence as the city’s Plan Commission voted unani-mously to approve plans to convert an auto repair facility into a “tiny house” workshop and nine-unit residential com-munity in a Monday meeting.

Supported by Occupy Madison Inc., a social justice group focused on safe hous-ing, the residences would be 99 square foot houses on trailers, constructed by the future resident and built on private property on East Johnson Street.

Ald. Larry Palm, District 12, said people will have plen-ty of opportunities to form reactions with neighborhood association meetings.

Ald. Steve King, District 7, said he thought it was good to begin addressing the issue of

homelessness with this grad-ual project.

“This is going to be a good learning curve for us as a city, and it’s another thing that’s going to add to our reputa-tion of trying to tackle this issue, which is a really com-plicated issue,” King said.

Ald. Scott Resnick, District 8, echoed King’s sen-timents, saying the creative idea works well for Madison.

“We need to address the problem with homelessness, and this is an empowering tool and project that will allow someone to build their own home,” Resnick said.

Opponents, mostly people living within the neighbor-hood, raised concerns about ambiguity in “tiny house” building codes, the long-term effects of a “365-day-a-year campground” and possibly

Blank names new interim dean, vice chancellor

The University of Wisconsin-Madison announced Monday the interim vice chancellor for research and dean of the Graduate School, a position that is currently the target of poten-tial restructuring.

Chancellor Rebecca Blank appointed Marsha Mailick, the current director of the UW-Madison Waisman Center, to the temporary position, according to a university release.

“I’m appreciative of the con-fidence inherent in the appoint-ment,” Mailick said in the release. “Leadership transitions are never easy, but I think I can help in this process.”

Mailick follows in the foot-steps of Martin Cadwallader, who intends on returning to the faculty after serving the position since 2002.

In the role, she will assume responsibility of the approximate-ly 9,400 graduate students across campus, as well as oversee more than $1 billion in annual univer-sity research endeavors, as stated in the release.

Though her work as vice chancellor and dean does not begin until Sept. 1, Mailick will begin her transition into the role by working in the Graduate School full-time starting Aug. 4.

For the record

A ll you wasted slime-birds must know what’s happening this

Saturday: the now unofficial, on-the-decline, deflated Mifflin Street Block Party. Oh how the mighty have fallen (likely because of the day drinking). Even after last year’s abysmal turnout, not even Waka Flocka Flame will deter hardcore alco-holics from frolicking through police-filled streets for, well, no reason at all. So for all you (insert typical bro-lingo, plural homophobic expletive here) too afraid to drink until your dig-nity is gone, check out this list of American Spirit-approved Mifflin alternatives.

1. Chain-smoke at the intersection of Mifflin and Bedford Streets

People will go in to give you a highfive, thinking you’re both en route to the same rager. Imagine the satis-faction of leaving them hang-ing and then blowing smoke in their face.

2. Start brewing your own Kombucha tea

Scobies make better friends than most humans. Plus, they give you delicious, nutritious nectar if you exploit their vul-nerability and ferment them.

3. Chain-smoke outside of the Revelry festival area

The wafting aroma of hand-rolled cigarettes will show you are the true definition of “indie.”

4. Grab lunch somewhere nobody knows about

It’s super underground to eat at restaurants off the beaten path. Maybe hop on a bus or train, Greyhound to

another state, do anything in your power to nibble on food you can tell people was amaz-ing. Just make sure there’s no possible way they will ever try it.

5. Chain-smoke at the farmers’ market

Show off your all-natural tobacco flavors to the people who really care—families and farmers trying to make money. Maybe pick up some kale while you’re there.

6. Go see my band, Blame It All on Brandon

We’re like post-EDM, emo-core, funkadelic mixed with post-rock, hair-metal. You probably wouldn’t like it.

7. Chain-smoke outside the Blame it All on Brandon show

This should be self-explan-atory, hand-rolled only though.

8. Protest the use of pesticides on tobacco.

There is LITERALLY noth-ing worse than the idea of inhal-ing dangerous toxins some big cigarette companies are spray-ing all over their otherwise all-natural crops. We need to unite on the very important topic.

9. Chain-smoke in the background of high school prom photos

Just because prom sucked for you doesn’t mean it should be special for anyone else. Let that cloud of smoke plume up and fog those 18-year-olds’ memories, while simultane-ously making their rented tuxes smell like cigs.

10. Have a block party

Get all your friends to take it to the streets, beers, cheers and chain-smoking galore! What could be a better way to spend your last weekend in Madison?

G ustave, “The Moveable Feast,” stood over six feet tall, a simultane-

ous monolith and iconoclast. He dressed well—perhaps lavishly would be a better term—with a wardrobe appropriate and com-modious to his stature. Standing behind Foster, The Moveable Feast wore a sepia-tinged hound-stooth jacket, wide shouldered on his barrel-like rotundity. A pine-green handkerchief, redolent of balsam, was tucked in his left breast pocket. Foster could smell it even over the smell of vegan pastrami disintegrating upward. He wore no tie; instead he wore a turtleneck whose hue matched the handkerchief. He wore black dress pants and polished leather shoes to complete the ensemble.

“I see you left the hat at home,” Foster said, looking at The Feast’s bald brown pate.

He grinned. “’S too lovely a day for it.” The Moveable Feast sat with a crinkle at an adjacent table.

At attention, Foster asked, “What’s the spoils this time?”

The Moveable Feast removed a baggie weighed with squiggly green crisps, well-oiled. “Kale chips, fried this morning. Home seasoned too.” He offered the bag to Foster.

Foster inhaled. A heady pro-fusion of herbs—a commingling of rosemary, tarragon—and a subtle pinch of spices—cumin and coriander—with some black pepper, swelled in his nostrils. He took a chip, and chewing, looked down at his plate feeling a sense of forlornness.

“Why’d you have to do that to me?” he said, gesturing to the pastrami.

The Feast laughed and cached the bag of kale chips inside his voluminous coat. At a glimpse, Foster saw an array of bottles and baggies all along the dark umber interior of the coat.

Gustave had earned his nick-name in no small part as a gour-

mand, but also for his idiosyn-crasies. On personality alone, he was a moveable feast—a moving one, rather, pleasantly peregri-nating—but in practice, with his tailored suitcoats nested with niches for his gustatory trea-sures, he was consummate.

It had begun in middle school, alongside the other adolescent metamorphoses from children into punks, gossips and has-beens. It was all rather sudden: Gustave, previously a big, quiet boy who lived with his haberdasher uncle, transmogrified into The Moveable Feast somewhere between seventh and eighth grade.

The other children, under the sway of illimitable fantasy novels, anime and late night news (the for-bidden fruit of yon adolescence) believed he had been struck by magic or paranormally possessed. Some, more inclined to mysticism, believed he began sucking on rocks to discern their flavor.

In reality, it had begun with the clothes his haberdasher uncle donated to him. The food came later, once he moved past the sublime art of grilled cheese. Nonetheless, the extent of The Moveable Feast’s transformation held a lot of traction with people. He began wearing large clothes and caching delicacies in the lin-ing, which he prompted his uncle to fashion after much reluctance.

He shared these delicacies with everyone but mortal enemies and former bullies. Foster, on his part, had not made friends with The Feast until Klasper intro-duced them junior year of high school. And even then, Foster felt a certain distance from him, as if Klasper’s friendship with The Feast hung as a specter between them. To be more blunt, he felt like Klasper’s plus one with The Moveable Feast. Nonetheless.

“You seen Klasp?” The Feast asked. “He was gonna get me a few pounds of pastrami.”

“Pounds? What’s the occasion?”The Moveable Feast looked

at Foster askance. “Didn’t he tell you?”

“I mean, he said we were pick-ing up you and Thile—”

“—Thile Knitwool? She’s coming?”

“You didn’t know?”“Klasp hasn’t mentioned her,

not since we started planning this a week ago anyway.”

Foster mulled an instant—over Klasper’s sudden interrup-tion, his scarified visage, his tense quotation of Milton—and a small sentiment sparked in his mind. Before he could air it, he saw a few heavy bags of pastrami fly into The Moveable Feast’s antici-patory arms.

“Morrow, gentlemen. Let’s go,” Klasper said.

Slightly aghast, The Moveable Feast took a long look at his deliv-erer’s face.

“Christ, Klasp. What happened to your face?”

“No time, gents. Need to make a run to the ATM.”

He was unceasing. By the time Foster and The Feast rose, Klasper was out the door. They trailed him to an ATM in the wall on the side of Lewis Street.

“Keep an eye out,” Klasper said.“An eye out for what?” Foster

asked, as he and The Moveable Feast looked around, behind them, back to their car Lycidas.

The answer presented itself swiftly. As soon as Klasper slid his debit card into the machine, he felt hard metal pressing against his back head.

“Hello Klasper,” the man in gray said.

The adventures of Foster will resume next year.

WILL CHIZEK/THE DAILY CARDINALChancellor Rebecca Blank appointed Marsha Mailick as the interimvice chancellor for research and dean of the Graduate School.

The exact details of the position’s future hinges on a decision regarding a restruc-turing of the leadership roles between research and the Graduate School.

A working group, charged by the university, set out earlier this semester to look at the efficacy

of dividing the responsibilities of the singular position into two separate roles.

Faculty Senate is set to hear final recommendations from University Committee May 5 in terms of what steps will be made in the future to potentially change the posi-tion’s job requirements.

Police arrest man involved in bar fight

Madison police located and arrested 23-year-old Deonte Thompson for beating a Madison man and disorderly conduct at State Street Brats early Sunday morning.

According to Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain, the 19-year-old vic-tim was in the establishment located at 603 State Street at approximately 1 a.m. Thompson approached the victim from behind the restaurant and pro-ceeded to beat him.

The victim told police Thompson punched and beat him several times in the head. According to DeSpain, he suf-fered numerous facial injuries, including a fat lip and bleeding.

DeSpain said there was no known motive for the inci-dent, and the victim has no connection with Thompson. The assailant fled the bar with another individual.

Police located the assail-ant with the help of a thorough description from the victim.

lowered property values.Other Madisonians sup-

ported the project, from board members to neigh-bors to potential future stewards, who are tenants who would not pay rent.

“I loved it from the moment I heard of it,” neighborhood resident Janet Parker said.

Keith Valecet, one of the first residents of the homes, described his roles in life as a college-educated business owner, grandfather and year-long member of the homeless community.

“We want to be part of the larger community,” Valecet said.

Following emotional appeals from both sides, commissioners voted. The City Council will consider the project in a meeting May 2.

“The fact that we still have folks sleeping outside tonight on a rainy evening outside the City Council building, that’s not going to change with nine tiny homes,” Resnick said. “But I think it is a start.”

City police arrest man in State Street garage for carrying concealed weapon

The Madison Police Department recovered a load-ed handgun from a SUV Friday night, which was previously stolen in a 2012 burglary on the city’s west side, according to a report.

Police approached the parked car in the State Street Campus Garage, located at 415 N. Lake St., after smelling marijuana smoke filtering out of a window, MPD spokesperson Joel DeSpain said in the report.

28-year-old Charles Nance of Madison claimed ownership of the .357 Magnum handgun and initially said he purchased the gun from Craigslist, according to the police report. Nance later said he bought the firearm from some-one he encountered in a liquor store parking lot sometime in the past month, according to the inci-dent report.

Police arrested Nance for car-rying a concealed weapon and receiving stolen property.

Ethnic Studies units to seek input on potential department collaboration

The University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Letters and Science Ethnic Studies units plan to hold the first public meet-and-greet event Wednesday, aimed at exploring the department’s future.

The Ethnic Studies depart-ment chairs, faculty and affili-ated staff said in a press release they want to receive feedback on whether an increase in collabo-ration between the units would be beneficial to the university.

The units in Ethnic Studies are the Department of Afro-American Studies, the American Indian Studies Program, the Asian American Studies Program and the Chican@ and

Latin@ Studies Program.Some of the ideas for col-

laboration include pooling selected resources or combining programs into one shared aca-demic department, according to the press release.

The Ethnic Studies depart-ment said it plans to hold mul-tiple public meetings on this specific topic to ensure the deci-sion will be in the best interest of students and faculty.

The free “Ethnic Studies at UW-Madison: Past, Present and Future” meet-and-greet will be Wednesday from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Pyle Center. Registration is recommended, but not required.

UW-Madison to explore technology with ‘Internet of Things Lab’ open houseUniversity of Wisconsin-

Madison’s College of Engineering will welcome students to explore technology with the first “Internet of Things Lab” open house Thursday, according to a news release.

The IoT Lab, which will be held 5 to 7 p.m. at the Wisconsin

Institutes for Discovery, will allow students to understand and potentially innovate cur-rent technology.

A device named the “magic cabinet,” which holds an array of technologies, some provid-ing sensors and processors that enhance hyperconnectivity, will

be available in the lab for stu-dents to observe and study.

Sandra Bradley, IoT’s co-direc-tor, explained the opportunities available with the IoT Lab could spark students’ interests in advanc-ing future technology and possibly developing commercial products.

“We wanted to show

Wisconsin companies and oth-ers what is on the horizon,” Bradley said.

Currently, a team of students is using the IoT Lab to experi-ment with gesture sensitive arm-bands and their ability to fur-ther develop the use of American Sign Language.

Letter To The Editor

6 l Tuesday, April 29, 2014 dailycardinal.com

T his Thursday, April 24 marks the one year anni-versary of the infamous

Rana Plaza factory collapse that claimed 1,132 innocent workers’ lives. This incident was the largest industrial workplace disaster that has ever happened. In the last two years alone, over 1,500 workers have died due to preventable fac-tory fires and building collapses.

In the wake of these disasters and immense public pressure, over 150 brands from 21 coun-tries have signed onto the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh. The Accord is a legally-binding contract between brands and local and internation-al unions that requires factories to undergo independent inspections by trained fire safety experts; pub-lic reporting of the results of all inspections; mandatory repairs and renovations financed by the brands to address all identified hazards; and a central role for workers and their unions.

Beginning last fall, we and other students across the coun-try have called on our univer-sities to employ their leverage over companies who produce in Bangladesh to improve the gar-

ment industry. We asked our universities to require licensees, companies who have the rights to produce items with our univer-sity logo, sign onto the Accord. At UW-Madison we ran this cam-paign for 7 months, doing letter deliveries, vigils, banner drops, and other actions. A month ago, Chancellor Blank announced that UW- Madison would take this instrumental step.

Now that the UW has made this incredible commitment, we need to make sure the university follows through on enforcing this requirement. Licensees that do not sign onto the Accord by July 31, 2014 will have their contract termi-nated. Currently, UW-Madison is trying to let Jansport off the hook from this requirement. Jansport is a subsidiary of VF Corporation, which sources from 91 factories in Bangladesh, employing an alarm-ing 190,000 workers.

Instead of committing to safe working conditions for their fac-tory workers, VF Corporation has stated that it refuses to sign onto the Accord, and instead is party to an alternate pro-gram called the Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety. The Alliance is spearheaded by Walmart and GAP and is a cor-porate-run, non-binding agree-ment which does not require that brands pay for renovations, and does nothing to protect gar-ment workers in Bangladesh. The international community, including Bangladeshi workers, are calling upon VF Corporation to sign the Accord. VF’s bla-tant disregard for worker safety makes it clear that its business practices in Bangladesh fail to

live up to UW’s standards. As the one year anniversary

of Rana Plaza approaches, it is paramount that UW-Madison cut its contract with Jansport. The contract between the UW and Jansport states that it may be terminated if the licensee “commits any act or omission that damages or reflects unfavor-ably, embarrasses or otherwise detracts from the good reputa-tion of any Collegiate Institution.” VF Corporation’s refusal to sign onto the Accord coupled with its long history as a serial vio-lator of workers’ rights damages UW-Madison’s reputation and they do not deserve to be able to produce Bucky Badger apparel.

The one year anniversary of the Rana Plaza disaster is a solemn occasion, but also a tremendous opportunity for us stand in solidarity with garment workers in Bangladesh who produce UW-Madison apparel. Workers in Bangladesh will be taking action to demand safe conditions, and students at over twenty universities across the US will be taking action to call on our universities to cut con-tracts with Jansport.

We, the Student Labor Action Coalition, call upon the UW to cut its contract with Jansport, and invite you to join us at the Chancellor’s office this Thursday, April 24 at 11:45 a.m. to speak with her about this pressing issue.

How do you feel the University of Wisconsin should react to Jansport? What do you think the university’s role in corporate agreements should be? Please send all feedback to opinion@dailycardinal.com.

F riday, April 25 President Barack Obama landed on

Osan Airbase, Republic of Korea. This event was car-ried out in accordance with the president’s current “Asia Trip Spring 2014” schedule. During the reception cer-emony at the Blue House, President Obama presented a sapling of a magnolia tree and the Stars and Stripes to the president Park Geun-hye. Both the sapling and the flag came directly from the White House and were a gift of con-dolence for the Sae-wol Ferry accident which took place just one week ago in South Korea.

The trip to South Korea occured without any trouble until North Korea presented two troublesome signals: They tested another nucle-ar weapon and revealed a detained American citizen in North Korea. On the same day, April 25, Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), North Korea’s state sponsored news channel, announced that the North Koreans are hold-ing an American citizen who crossed the border on April 10. According to KCNA, this American man entered North Korea on a tourist visa. CNN reported that once he entered the country, he tore his tour-ist visa and shouted that “he would seek asylum” and “came to the North Korea after choosing it as a shelter.”

In addition to this suspi-cious announcement by North Korea, President Obama and the rest of the United States were made aware of news regarding another pos-sible nuclear weapons test. According to CNN, South Korea detected definite signs of North Korea’s nuclear test. Many intelligence sat-ellites verified the fact that North Korea has completed all of the preliminary steps required to conduct a nuclear

test. According to the South Korean official, they have seven to 14 days to conduct a test and it is very likely that they are going to proceed with the test since their nuclear test site, Punggye-ri, finished all of the preliminary mea-sures.

The United States and other influential countries in the international commu-nity have been urging North Korea to halt the nuclear pro-gram, and handed out offi-cial announcements a further nuclear test will deliver no benefit to North Korea, but only isolate the country from the international commu-nity. However, in the pivotal moment when the president of the United States landed in South Korea, North Korea announced that they are hold-ing an American hostage and also conducted preliminary measures for a nuclear weap-ons test. Furthermore, vari-ous attempts by the United States in saving Kenneth Bae, an American Christian mis-sionary who is currently serv-ing 15 years in North Korean labor camp for allegedly plan-ning to topple the govern-ment, achieved nothing. What do these tell us?

Clearly, North Korea is try-ing to embarrass President Obama. Regardless of the sanctions and condemna-tions from the international community, North Korea still carried out its radical maneu-vers. Most importantly, they chose April 25, the day that President Obama visited South Korea, to announce the existence of an American hostage, despite the individ-ual being taken into custody April 10.

Maybe, the American hos-tage did not even mention anything about “asylum” or a “shelter.” Maybe he does not even exist. However, North Korea successfully succeeded in drawing the attention of the world once again while they had President Obama in range of their missiles. With this, President Obama came under scrutiny of the media and the world’s watch. The North Korean problem has always been on the “to-do-list” of pre-vious presidents of the United States and it is now President Obama’s time to act. How will he respond to the challenges of North Korea?

What is your take on Korean-American relations? Do you agree that North Korea is simply seeking internation-al attention by engaging in these internationally frowned upon actions? Please send all your feedback to opinion@dailycardinal.com.

North Korea remains an international nuisance

UW-Madison once had a colorful reputation as a university on the fore-

front of social justice through activism. In February of 1960, over 500 students gathered on Library Mall in support of the Civil Rights movement. Throughout the 1960s and ’70s, thousands of UW-Madison stu-dents were deeply involved in educating the nation daily about the perils of the Vietnam War. In July 1981, more than 1,500 stu-dents rallied on Bascom Hill in support of abortion rights.

These are just a few of the seemingly never-ending list of issues that brought UW-Madison students together for a common cause throughout our universi-ty’s history. In the Madison of today, if you were to ask a young person what we’re known for, you would likely receive a disil-lusioning response: drinking.

While we do not necessarily condone some of the extremist actions our predecessors have

taken to draw attention to cer-tain causes, we find it disillusion-ing how easy it has become for students to turn a blind eye to issues that impact their fellow classmates and neighbors.

Somewhere along the lines, UW-Madison students have con-vinced themselves that a legacy of binge drinking and shouting obscenities at football games is something to be proud of—some-thing we accept as being associat-ed with all UW-Madison students from an outsider’s perspective.

Rather than being seen as active, socially aware young individuals, now we are seen as this: drunk, sometimes ignorant and willing to pretend that there are not issues worthy of concern facing our fellow students.

This is not to say we have never participated in the Mifflin Street Block Party, wandered Breese Terrace on gamedays or enjoyed State Street on Halloween ourselves. These events contribute to the

memories that we will forev-er cherish regarding our days as UW-Madison students. But these events should not be our only memories we have as stu-dents. If our only legacy we leave this university with is being a part of the last official Mifflin Street Block Party that got so out of control the police had to shut down the entire event, we have really not contributed any-thing to our campus community at all.

As students, we need to re-establish our image as being informed, culturally respon-sive young citizens eager to make waves and reform what we believe needs reformation. Wake up, Badgers.

Do you think that the repu-tation of UW-Madison has been reduced by the party atmo-sphere? What changes would you like to see on campus to restore our reputation? Please send all of your feedback to opinion@dailycardinal.com.

Volleyball

Sky’s the limit for coach Kelly SheffieldIndiana native sees success in first season at UW T he biggest gift from

the state of Indiana to hit Badgerland may be

Muncie, Ind. native Kelly Sheffield, head coach of the women’s volley-ball team, who, in his first year at UW, led the Badgers to the NCAA championship match.

Unbeknownst to many, the town of Muncie is a volleyball power-house. The pipeline of coaches that have come out of Muncie in recent years includes the head coaches for Ball State, Purdue and Kentucky, along with another assistant coach at Purdue.

Sheffield, however, never played volleyball before beginning his career as a coach; his only athletic experience was a track career in high school.

“[Coaching volleyball] was just an off-handed comment and I ended up helping somebody,” Sheffield said. “The more I was around it the more it was like a drug to me.”

He didn’t think it mattered that he’d never played before. He knew coaching was about teaching. Tactics would come later.

Sheffield worked as hard as he could to get a shot at coaching vol-leyball for a career. He coached club for seven years, worked every camp he could and coached the Muncie Burres eighth grade team while simultaneously working as an assistant for both the junior varsity and varsity team.

One day a coach—whose camps Sheffield had frequently worked— asked him the question he’d long been waiting for: “What would you say if I could get you a job coaching in college?”

“I said, ‘I think that would be the coolest job in the whole world,’” Sheffield said. “It would be like telling a kid that he could go to the moon.”

He got a phone call from the head coach at Houston, offering him the second assistant coaching job a day

before the preseason began, with a starting salary of $12,000.

“He said, ‘I didn’t want to hire you but this other coach is telling me I have to, so you can have the job if you want it,’” Sheffield said.

Two hours later he was on his way from Muncie to Houston, a 20-hour drive, arriving in Houston the next day.

Sheffield moved around to Virginia and Clemson as an assis-tant before getting his first head coaching job in Albany, N.Y. He coached at Albany for seven years, leaving with a 301-122 record before his next stop at Dayton, where he earned Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year three years in a row.

Winning at WisconsinSheffield was hired in the 2013

offseason with explicit Big Ten and NCAA championship expectations.

“I believe I’ve got the best vol-leyball coaching job in America,” Sheffield said. “When you put it all together. When you think about potential and conference and ability to recruit to this great place and this town to raise a fam-

ily in and the administrative sup-port and student support.”

Sheffield delivered, guiding UW to a 28-10 record in the country’s most competitive conference. The crown jewel of his first season came in the NCAA Tournament, where Wisconsin made it to the finals before falling to conference foe and perennial powerhouse Penn State.

Sheffield has three traits that will undoubtedly write his place in Wisconsin athletic folklore for years to come, three traits that allowed a first-year coach with no competitive experience as a player to push a young team all the way to a berth as national runner-up.

Confidence born of trustIt’s undeniable Sheffield is a

passionate person. Within that passion exists a belief in his play-ers’ skills, from practice to match-es to interviews.

Senior libero Annemarie Hickey will never forget Sheffield’s unequivocal confidence during the team’s games against Penn State and Texas in tournament.

“He came into the locker room

and told us, ‘If there’s ever a doubt in your mind that we are going to win this game look to me, look to me and I will be your support,’” Hickey said. “‘We are going to win this game.’”

Even when Sheffield talks about his life outside of volleyball, he is quick to show passion. “People look to get away from things that they don’t like doing. I looked to get away from school. I looked to get away from studying,” Sheffield said. “I don’t look to get away from the game here. You are not just coach-ing, you are building relationships”

Perfection as realitySheffield came to Wisconsin

with one goal in mind: to change the attitude of his team.

He wanted them to exude men-tal toughness. He wanted to push his players. He needed to get the best out of them. This was the key for his team to earn confidence in themselves and each other.

“I think there is fake confi-dence and there is real confidence,” Sheffield said. “Real confidence comes from having a plan and hav-ing a vision and implementing it. I think a lot of people want confi-dence without the work and that’s not how it works. I think you get what you deserve.”

Not only does Sheffield demand perfection on the court, but also off it. While at Dayton, Sheffield’s team earned the American Volleyball Coaches Association’s Team Academic Award four years in a row. Nothing has changed for Sheffield except the location.

In the beginning of the year Sheffield gave out study hour requirements for the team, though a couple girls failed to meet the num-bers. When he found out, the entire team team was held accountable.

“I want people that want to live extraordinary lives,” Sheffield said. “I think I’ve got a responsibility as a coach and a teacher helping them reach their potential.”

Build relationships as well as players

Coach Sheffield’s strongest trait as a coach, and really as a human,

is the ability to establish strong rela-tionships with his players and fel-low coaches through a balance of personal and professional life.

Joking around with players on the sideline, but at the same time letting them know it’s time for busi-ness, is a hard line to toe.

With the pure admiration and joy Hickey and junior outside hit-ter Courtney Thomas had talking about their coach, it was easy to tell they look at him in a similar light.

“Right from the beginning he told us that he cared about us and that’s really key to know as a girl’s volleyball team,” Hickey said. “We really just want to be cared about.”

The compassion, however, lasted much longer than his pre-season speeches.

“He’s kind of like our dad,” Hickey said. “I think it was cool just hearing the little things like, ‘Hey how are you doing’ or ‘Great job today.’”

It was here that Sheffield paused.“It gives some depth to the

career that I’ve chosen,” Sheffield said. “You want to be in a situation where you’re being a positive influ-ence on people’s lives. But the key is, if you’re being a father figure or a role model or something like that, if they are not getting better, if they are getting their butts kicked, a father figure isn’t what they need.”

Looking Ahead When you add all this up, you

get a coach with a career record of 301-122, a 73.1 winning percent-age, in 13 years as college volley-ball coach.

Sheffield hopes that one day this program will be the talk of the town: something Badger fans are proud of.

When speaking of the future of his program, Sheffield gazes off in the distance as if he can see the future play out in front of his eyes.

“We want to fill this place, man,” Sheffield said. “I want this to be the best entertain-ment in the country … We want little girls to look up and say, ‘I want to be them.’”

It’s a dream not too far off from reality.

Badgers look to break school record with 14 straight winsBy Andrew TuckerTHE DAILY CARDINAL

Over the weekend, the Badgers (12-5 Big Ten, 30-15 overall) extend-ed their winning streak to tie the school record of 13 straight wins, set last season.

With this week marking the final series of the regular season for Wisconsin, the Badgers look to finish the season by breaking the record against a pair of top 25 oppo-nents in No. 19 Nebraska (14-4, 36-13) and No. 7 Michigan (17-3, 39-9).

Nebraska rolls into Madison for a Wednesday doubleheader on a substantial streak of their own. The Huskers have won 10 straight, and currently sit at second in the Big Ten standings. The team plays well both at the plate and in the pitcher’s circle, centering around two sisters: Taylor and Tatum Edwards.

In the circle, Nebraska is led by

senior pitcher Tatum Edwards, who was recently named Big Ten Pitcher of the Week. Edwards’ 1.82 ERA is the fourth best for starting pitchers in the Big Ten, and her 170 strikeouts rank fourth as well. The second starter in the Huskers’ rotation, sophomore Emily Lockman, isn’t easily over-shadowed, ranking fifth in the conference for ERA with 2.04.

Nebraska’s offense is focused around senior catcher Taylor Edwards, twin sister of the team’s star pitcher. She ranks in the top five of the Big Ten in slugging percentage, on-base percentage, RBIs, total bases and runs scored, as well as leading the conference in home runs.

After playing the Huskers, UW will make its way to Ann Arbor to take on the Wolverines. Led by leg-endary coach Carol Hutchins, the

Wolverines are the top team in the Big Ten for yet another year.

While Michigan is a consistent goliath of the Big Ten in softball, the Badgers play the Wolverines at a good time. The team lost three

of its last eight games, an unchar-acteristically bad skid for a team that rattled off 20 straight wins earlier in the year. On the other hand, the Wolverines are a stellar 11-1 in Ann Arbor this season.

Michigan Sophomore shortstop Sierra Romero, the reigning Big Ten Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year, leads the Big Ten in seven offensive categories, and is in the top 10 in a handful of other columns. In terms of pitching, the Wolverines’ starters junior Haylie Wagner and freshman Megan Betsa have two of the top three best ERAs in the conference.

The Badgers sit at fourth in the conference standings, but if they can keep their streak alive, they have an outside shot at a No. 1 seed in the Big Ten tournament beginning May 8. If they can con-tinue their lights-out pitching and Big Ten Player of the Week, senior third baseman Michelle Mueller, continues to hit well, Wisconsin increases its chances of moving up in the Big Ten rank-ings before the season expires.

Senior third baseman Michelle Mueller was named Big Ten Player of the Week recently and is hitting well as the season winds down.
