Zach DueĂąas, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, prays in the chapel in Schroeder Hall on Wednesday. Though a common everyday practice, Christians are encouraged to embrace prayer more than usual during the Lenten season to bring themselves closer to God.

Prayer is essential to the everyday spiritual life of a Christian. But during Lent, when Christians are supposed to focus more on God, it becomes even more important to them. Prayer is one of the three pillars of Lent, but it is a common practice throughout the Church year. Prayer is a conversation with God, said Susan Mountin, director of the Manressa Project. Gina Galassi, sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, said to pray is to grow deeper in a relation-

ship with God. Commonly when people pray, they ask God for something, said theology professor Mark Johnson. Asking for help is a healthy way of acknowledging our dependence on God, he said. “We really do depend on God, in some ways for everything,� said Johnson. Many times throughout the Gospel, Jesus deliberately took time to go off and pray to God.

LENT IN

“That’s what Jesus did in his experiences leading up to the Passion,� said Mountin. When he desired to speak to God, Jesus often prayed alone. “It’s almost as if he needs that prayer as a way of nurturing himself spiritually,� said Mountin. When Jesus went into the Garden of Gethsemane

REAL LIFE

This is the second part in a season-long series on Lenten traditions

to pray just before his arrest, he asked his disciples to pray as well. The Disciples fell asleep instead of praying. Too often, Christians do that instead of focusing on God, Mountin said. Lent is a time to try to pay more attention to prayer, she said. She said we need to wake up. Mountin said when it comes to prayer, sometimes we do the talking, and sometimes we do the listening. Very often, it’s the silence that gets you to think more about what you’re asking God for, and you ASS >`OgS` ^OUS %

When you’re in Wisconsin, “Live Like You Mean It.� That’s the message being sent by state tourism officials, who unveiled the new slogan and logo Monday. “Live Like You Mean It� supplants “Life’s So Good.� The re-branding started a year ago, when Gov. Jim Doyle asked the Department of Tourism to research what distinguishes Wisconsin from other states. “Originality� is what they found and is the main idea behind the new brand.

“No matter how people come in contact with Wisconsin, they’ll know precisely what we stand for in this state,� Doyle said in a statement released by the Wisconsin Department of Tourism. “We are a place where the people are fiercely proud, hard-working, loyal, have fun with life and where the culture fuels creativity and embraces original thinking.� Doyle said the new brand will not only at-

tract tourists, but also businesses. “This is another tool we’ll use to keep loyal visitors coming back, communicate why a business should relocate or expand here, and let talented employees know why they should choose Wisconsin,� he said. But it turns out the slogan isn’t all that original. “Live Like You Mean It� is used by some motivational speakers and is the title of several books. Irene Calboli, a Marquette Law

professor specializing in Intellectual Property Law, said though criticism of the slogan will continue, it’s unlikely there will be action taken against Wisconsin. “I doubt that the state would have legal problems,� Calboli said. “And I would tend to exclude any likelihood of consumer confusion between the Wisconsin products and services carrying the new logo and slogan and the preexisting ones.� The new brand will first be used for marketing Wisconsin tourism, and then applied to other state agencies and private companies. “Energy� is the reason this specific ASS AZ]UO\ ^OUS $

After difficulties arose in attracting and retaining candidates, the nearly year-long search for a new dean of the College of Arts & Sciences has been closed for the semester. A new search will begin in late August or early September, with some preliminary work to be done in the spring and summer, said Provost John Pauly. The most realistic timetable for hiring a new dean is July 2010, Pauly said. He hopes the university will have made an offer to someone about a year from now. Pauly said he felt satisfied with the caliber of the candidates brought in by the committee. However, he did not feel certain they were right for Marquette at this time. “We must be patient,� Pauly said. Pauly hopes the new search will attract a broader group of candidates with a wide range of administrative experience. In the meantime, Jeanne Hossenlopp, previously the chemistry department chair, has agreed to remain the interim dean of the college until the end of the 2009’10 academic year, said Albert Rivero, a professor of English and chair of the search committee. The college has been in transition since Michael McKinney stepped down in December 2007 after eight years as dean. John Pustejovsky, an associate professor of German, served as interim dean in spring 2008, and Hossenlopp took over this school year. Pauly and the search committee thought the university would have “diminished returns� this late in the academic year, Pauly said. They deemed it better to temporarily close the search and ASS 2SO\a ^OUS
