University of Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez is urging fans to show “class and dignity” on Saturday when the 15th-ranked Badgers football team host No. 20 Penn State. Alvarez said the school has hung a large blue ribbon on the outside, south wall of the UW Field House, near Camp Randall Stadium, to encourage awareness of the “serious issue of child abuse.” Blue is the ribbon color used to highlight child abuse awareness.
….Dean of Students Lori Berquam echoed Alvarez’s plea for attendees at Saturday’s football game to conduct themselves in a respectful manner.
