| #1 Wisconsin vs. Maryland |
| Sunday, Oct. 15, 2023 1 PM Central / 2 PM Eastern |
| UW Field House Madison, Wisconsin |
The Wisconsin Badgers welcome the Maryland Terrapins to Madison for a Sunday matinee. Wisconsin will attempt to continue its win streak after a rout of Rutgers, while Maryland will seek to bounce back after a loss at Northwestern. The Badgers are running a 5-1 for the moment, as RS Devyn Robinson and Setter MJ Hammill are both out with injuries, so the Terps will have a smaller block to hit over when the 5-11 Izzy Ashburn is in the front row. Will the Terps break the Badgers’ streak again? Or will the Badgers continue dominance?

Did you know…?
Fifty-four years ago today, on October 15, 1969, the National Moratorium on the War in Vietnam was held in Washington DC, with satellite demonstrations in cities across the country. At UW Madison, significant antiwar efforts had been catalyzed two years prior on "Dow Day." On October 18, 1967, students engaged in nonviolent civil disobedience at the Commerce Building (today’s Ingraham Hall) in protest of the university hosting Dow Chemical company, makers of Napalm, for on-campus recruiting. Protestors occupied the building and blocked access to the interviews. When protesters refused to disperse, Madison police beat them with riot sticks and forcibly removed them from the building. The melee continued outside, and eventually the police used tear gas to disperse the crowd - the first use of the chemical agent on the UW Madison campus. 50 students were treated at area hospitals, including 25 with head injuries. Dow Day radicalized many UW students, who saw this as a sign of the university's complicity with the military-industrial complex and willingness to use violence to assert its authority. For years to come, the campus would be roiled by antiwar demonstrations, many involving tear gas and some involving the National Guard.

The day of the Moratorium itself dawned cold and drizzly, and 3,000 people rallied on Library Mall. Among the day’s seventy programs and activities were pickets at the ROTC and Army Math Research Center, a draft resistance workshop in Gordon Commons, a letter-writing campaign, and teach-ins and sermons at various locations around the campus and at area religious centers. SDS leaders issued three demands to University Chancellor Edwin Young: Removal of the ROTC, the Army Math Research Center, and the Land Tenure Center from campus. The chancellor rejected the demands.

At night, the UW Field House was packed with 15,000 people for a series of antiwar speeches. Ms. Marcella Kink of Middleton gave a passionate speech about her search for meaning in the recent death of her son after his helicopter crashed northwest of Saigon. Daily Cardinal editor James Rowen gave a sharp critique of the university as the 'fourth branch of the military," calling for its army-related research to be stopped. After the speeches, the crowd marched by candlelight through the cold rain to the Capitol Square for an ecumenical memorial service for the more than 900 Wisconsin servicemen who'd been killed in the war thus far. As the bell of Grace Episcopal Church tolled, the names of the dead were read aloud. With each name, a candle was extinguished. The ceremony ended just before midnight, but the war raged on.
