In Badger football, it seems inevitable that every season will
convey a completely different dynamic. The first two weeks of
Wisconsin's season have proven no exception to the rule in a year
of incredibly high expectations. Last season, many of the team's
younger players took on huge roles at impact positions, most
notably running back P.J. Hill and tight end Travis Beckum. This
season the depth chart feels more solidified, but this youthful
roster still has plenty of room for impact players who are likely
to be called upon to make the right play at the right time. Here
are a couple of predictions for impact categories and players to
watch throughout the season.

Time heals all wounds and as a few days have passed since UW
volleyball's loss to No. 4 Penn State (6-0 Big Ten, 15-2 overall),
the sting seems to have disappeared. After a day off and watching
tapes of Saturday's showdown, it becomes transparent that No. 8
Wisconsin (5-1, 13-2) can take many positives away from the match,
and that they would have had to play perfect or near-perfect ball
in order to pull off the upset.

year in a classification called \limited-term employees."" This
means that they are not hired as permanent employees, but on a
temporary basis for six months. In most cases after this six-month
period, they are renewed. This form of employment, often called
""permatemp,"" keeps Wisconsin Union workers in a state of
permanent limbo.

Conservative columnist John Leo had a piece on Thomas Frank's
book, \What's the Matter With Kansas?,"" Aug. 30 on the Web site
www.townhall.com. I cut it out and showed it to a visiting

John Kerry's controversial 1970s Vietnam War protests have some
Americans calling him a hero and others a traitor, but whether one
likes Kerry or not, it is shameful to criticize him for protesting.
His record of protest should, in fact, be viewed as an asset to the
American nation, a nation that sets the world precedent for free
expression of political sentiment.
