‘McGuire’ coming to the main stage

‘You make me wanna shout’

Enberg’s play to show at Helfaer

Members of the senior class stopped foot traffic between classes Wednesday morning on Central Mall with a surprise choreographed dance to the Isley Brother’s “Shout.”

See www.marquettetribune.org for video of the performance.

“The most incredible character I’ve ever met. The most unique person. Complex. Street genius.

Clever,” Dick Enberg said of Al McGuire.

Enberg, the longtime sportscaster and 2009 Marquette commencement speaker, sought to epitomize these qualities of his one-time broadcast partner when he wrote a play about the legendary Marquette basketball coach in 2001.

The one-man, one-act play with actor Cotter Smith is coming back to Marquette’s campus on commencement weekend. “Don’t Un-

dress Until You Die: The Wit and Wisdom of Al McGuire,” will run for two nights — May 15 and 16 — at the Helfaer Theatre.

After McGuire’s death in 2001, Enberg was asked by the McGuire family to speak at the memorial program. While Enberg originally did not know what to say about McGuire, he realized that McGuire had a language of his own.

Enberg wrote down things he learned from McGuire in the hopes of one day sharing them with someone. The ideas then materialized into the play, Enberg said.

“He taught me to look at life from a different angle,” Enberg said.

The play took six months to write throughout 2001. While sometimes it was difficult to write, “some nights the words jumped off your fingertips,” he said.

Economy hurts endowment Down 25 percent from last June

By Jeff Engel jeffrey.engel@marquette.edu

The current recession has driven many colleges to make budget and staff cuts, but it has also severely damaged one traditional safety net — the endowment fund.

Endowments cover a certain percentage of university operating budgets, as well as funding for scholarships and capital projects.

From July to November, endow-

ment funds nationwide declined by an average of 23 percent, according to a study conducted by the Commonfund Institute and the National Association of College and University Business Officers.

Marquette’s endowment has not fared any better, declining about 25 percent since last June, according to the 2008 president’s report released in March. That puts the endowment’s total market value at approximately $268 million.

Thus far, fiscal year 2009 has been the worst for endowments since national numbers were first tracked in 1974, said Brett Hammond, chief investment strategist for TIAA-CREF. The not-for-

profit financial service company has collected endowment data for NACUBO since 2000.

Endowments experienced a negative 11.4 percent average return on investments in 1974. That was the largest drop in the last 35 years until the first half of fiscal year 2009, when endowments had an average rate of return of approximately negative 23 percent.

The current recession is the worst since the 1930s, said John Griswold, executive director of the Commonfund Institute.

Endowment portfolios are generally complex and diversified to ensure safety of the principal See Decline, page 3

Have a perfect GPA? You must be gorgeous Personal traits, grooming also found to influence grades

By Drew Marcel-Keyes andrew.marcel-keyes@marquette.edu

As finals week approaches, the University of Miami Health Economics Research Group may have found the key to better grades — better looks.

According to a new study released last Wednesday, physical attractiveness has a positive effect on grade point averages in high school when considered alone.

The study also examined the effects personality and grooming had on GPA. Marie Guma-Diaz, director of media relations at the University of Miami, said similar studies have found similar results at the college and professional levels.

“The purpose of this study was to trace the roots of these findings

The study found a broad array of characteristics that are likely to affect academic performance.

For males, grooming has a positive effect. Personality plays the biggest positive role for females.

When all three are considered together, physical attractiveness

actually has a negative effect on GPA. Michael T. French, professor of health economics at UM and one author of the study, said looks and appearance can be a way for students to rebel against authority.

DPS Reports April 27

Tribune reporter Dan Kraynak rode along with Department of Public Safety officer Jim Riccaboni on a night shift patrol, where he got an inside look at what it takes to be a DPS officer.

On the job with Public Safety Customer service, informal educators

By Dan Kraynak dan.kraynak@marquette.edu

On the night of Friday, April 17, at 23:00, I reported to the Department of Public Safety office to ride along with DPS officer Jim Riccaboni on a night shift patrol.

By 23:20, about two hours into Riccaboni’s shift, we got into his squad car ready to continue the patrol: starting mileage 85,386, fuel tank three-fourths full.

Riccaboni said he has held the same position as a patrolling officer since the day he started his career with DPS four and a half years ago.

On this particular night, Riccaboni was assigned to be the officer on “free patrol,” which meant we weren’t restricted to patrolling just one area of campus.

“Currently, we patrol in sectors and individual officers are assigned to these different sectors,” Riccaboni said.

This method of patrolling, he said, has proven to help deter crime on campus.

“Because one car is always in a small single area, it allows us to keep a constant presence,” Riccaboni said. “This constant presence is our biggest crime deterrent.”

23:35 — Customer service The first interaction Riccaboni and I had with the student population on patrol came when Riccaboni used the spotlight on his squad car to help a student find an accidentally dropped cigar in the

McGuire Continued from page 1

Enberg said the play’s script made its way to University President the Rev. Robert A. Wild’s desk in 2004.

Wild showed interest in the play being produced at Marquette. Phylis Ravel, chair of the Department of Performing Arts at the time and a current adjunct associate professor, read the play and sent it to Smith.

“I read it and loved it,” Smith said.

Smith and Enberg met in fall 2004. Smith said he knew right away they were going to be a good team.

bushes near the student’s apartment building.

“Customer service is just one aspect of our job,” Riccaboni said as we drove away. “It’s little things like that, that go a long way in building the relationship we have with students and the community.”

00:15 — Stairwell check It was a little past midnight when Riccaboni and I stepped out of the squad car to perform a routine stairwell check in Parking Structure 2. At this point in the night, the activity on campus was still extremely quiet.

“For the past 12 to 18 months, the crime on campus has been down a lot,” Riccaboni said as we made our way up and down the stairwells.

He attributed this decrease in crime to an array of factors, which include an increase in DPS’s visibility, their use of full manpower and an increase in the number of cameras and blue-light phones on campus. There’s also been a decrease in overall crime in the city of Milwaukee during this time.

“The university stands behind our department 150 percent,” Riccaboni said. “They appreciate the importance of a safe campus, and they provide us with the top-ofthe-line training, tools, equipment and resources we need to do our job as efficiently and effectively as possible.”

00:50 — Educators outside of the classroom Just before 1 a.m., Riccaboni and I were patrolling through an alley just outside of campus when we came across a 23-year-old male student who was urinating on the

side of a building.

When Riccaboni used his spotlight to get the student’s attention, the student looked back at the squad car and began to run in the opposite direction.

Riccaboni slowly circled the block and eventually found the out-of-breath student on the next street.

At first, the student tried to deny his public urination violation.

“You’re out of breath because you were obviously just running,” Riccaboni said to the student.

“And look at your fly. It’s still open. I just want you to tell me the truth.”

After the student admitted that he had been urinating on the building, Riccaboni explained that he wanted the mistake to be a learning experience for the student.

“If I was MPD, that urination would have cost you a $200 ticket, and running away from me would have only made things a lot worse,” Riccaboni said to the student.

Before the student was sent on his way, he apologized and thanked Riccaboni for doing him a favor.

“Thank you, sir. I won’t give you a problem for the rest of the night...the rest of the year actually,” the student said.

Because all DPS officers were in college at one point in time, they all understand what college life is like, Riccaboni said.

“If kids want to blow off some steam on the weekends, we understand that. As long as they’re smart about it we usually don’t have problems,” Riccaboni said.

“Another part of our job is being educators outside of the classroom.”

“To be able to sit in the audience and watch him become Al has been great,” Enberg said.

Smith and Enberg worked to produce the play under the direction of Smith’s wife, Heidi. After eight months of research and practice, the play was performed at Marquette in June 2005.

“Growing up in Milwaukee in the ‘70s, Al McGuire and the Marquette Warriors were like heroes to us,” Heidi Smith said in an e-mail.

“Getting the chance to work with Dick and Cotter to shape this piece and give us all a chance to revisit those times has been a thrill,” Heidi said.

The Friday and Saturday shows at Marquette are both selling out, said

Stephen Hudson-Mairet, chair of the Department of Performing Arts.

A portion of the proceeds will go to the department’s scholarship fund.

Before its showing at Marquette, the play will run at the Greenhouse Theater Center in Chicago May 13 and 14.

“The play obviously has legs. It’s just a matter of how far Al can run,” Enberg said.

Enberg said the play isn’t just about a basketball coach, but about a “very unique, incredible individual who had this wit and wisdom that so few are blessed (with). It’s about his way of looking at life that makes this a theatrical experience.”

At 1:41 p.m. a 20-year-old male student-employee reported that an unknown person had removed his unsecured, unattended property from Johnston Hall. The victim stated that on April 26 at about 4 p.m., he left his camera bag next to a computer table in Johnston Hall room 503. When the victim returned to the room the next day at 12:55 p.m., he discovered the camera bag and its contents had been stolen. The bag included a Nikon camera model D30, camera grips, camera battery, Nikon camera lens and several memory cards. The total estimated loss is $4,440. The Milwaukee Police Department was contacted.

At 6:19 p.m. a 20-year-old male student reported that an unknown person had removed his unsecured, unattended Raleigh bicycle from a bike rack attached to the rear of his vehicle in

the 800 block of North 13th Street. The estimated loss is $1,000.

At 8:17 p.m. DPS officers were dispatched to the fifth floor of Schroeder Hall after receiving reports of a suspicious odor coming from one of the rooms. When the officers located and entered the room the smell was coming from, they questioned the four students found inside. After being questioned about the odor, one of the students, a 19-year-old female, admitted that she had recently been smoking marijuana inside the room. She stated that she was the only individual inside the room that had been smoking, and handed a glass pipe over to the officers. The pipe contained a green leafy substance, which the student identified as marijuana. MPD was contacted and issued the student a citation for possession of drug paraphernalia. Her pipe was confiscated.

attributed to her. Schmitz also did not say “Although M&I had no role in either decision or expense, it’s good to have our presence increased at the event,” Schmitz said. “This was a Summerfest decision and a Summerfest expense.”

Decline Continued from page 1

amount, Griswold said. However, the financial collapse left nowhere to hide.

“It was the first year in decades where diversifying didn’t work well,” Griswold said. “Everything went down.”

As endowments soared in the 1990s, universities began devoting a larger portion of the funds to covering expenses.

Endowments constitute 12 to 13 percent of operating budgets at most universities, Griswold said.

That reliance has spelled trouble in the current recession. “(Universities) hadn’t anticipated this much of a downturn,” said Marquette Provost John Pauly. “We assumed a high level of return and that a large amount (of endowment funds) would be there. All of a sudden, that’s a new operating expense that has to be carried.”

Marquette has a smaller endowment fund than most colleges ($357 million versus Harvard University’s $36.6 billion, as of June 2008). However, Marquette is also much less dependent on it, Pauly said.

Marquette’s endowment makes up 5 percent of the annual operating budget, said Tim Olsen, communication manager in the Office of Marketing and Communication, in an e-mail.

The recession will reset expectations of endowments, something Hammond said might be “healthy.” Colleges are already reviewing their portfolios and may consider shrinking the percentage of their operating budgets that draws from endowments, he said.

Colleges struggle to quickly adjust their endowments during recessions, said Ken Redd, director of research and policy analysis at NACUBO. Endowments are “long-term investment vehicles” that don’t really allow for sudden investment changes, he said. For private institutions, about half of

the funds are restricted to a specific purpose.

Marquette’s endowment decisions look long-term, emphasizing diversified assets, Olsen said.

The College of Business Administration’s Applied Investment Management program is one of approximately 12 different groups that manage Marquette’s endowment, said David Krause, an adjunct assistant professor and director of the program. AIM allows selected finance majors to oversee the investment of $1.5 million in endowment funds annually, less than 1 percent of Marquette’s total endowment.

AIM students have been on the defensive to combat the effects of the recession, investing in stocks that are neither “high growth” nor “high risk,” Krause said.

The endowment funds AIM invests showed negative returns in 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, but beat their benchmarks, Krause said. Essentially, every portfolio was down, but Marquette’s was better than most.

The 25 percent decline in Marquette’s total endowment has forced the university to think of “backup and contingency plans,” Pauly said. There will be less money in the fiscal year 2010 budget, and less endowment money to put toward it.

“We’re trying to find alternative ways to support expenses,” Pauly said. “We’re encouraging exercising caution with spending until the endowment picks up, and to recognize there are less funds available.”

Still, the university is “cautiously optimistic” about the future, Pauly said, citing a good credit rating, low debt and good cash reserves.

Donations, which contribute significantly to Marquette’s endowment, are down. However, Pauly expects those to increase as the economy improves.

“People love Marquette,” Pauly said. “They will give when they find they’re in a position to give.

They’re trying to be prudent, too.”

Doyle proposal reduces personal responsibility

Reasons to come back to Milwaukee this summer Summerfest ...obviously. Bob Dylan, No Doubt, Guster, Bon Jovi and so many others will be rocking out!

Imagine you run a trucking company, and a 24-year-old job seeker turns in an application. Would you, as the owner of the company, want to know whether the young job seeker has a drunkdriving conviction on his or her record?

We sure would. Unfortunately, Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle and state Democrats don’t feel the same.

Buried in Doyle’s budget is a proposal that would allow young adults up to age 25 to have some crimes expunged from their record, including some nonviolent Offenders in Wisconsin felonies and some whose senunder the age of 21 can tences carry maximum sentences have misdemeanors of up to six years in prison. Unexpunged from their der current state law, offenders records. under 21 years of age can have their misdemeanors cleared from public record.

Current law

Proposed law

a state-wide referendum.

The governor’s proposal removes opportunity for lessons of personal responsibility. While young people are prone to making mistakes, the current expungement law allows for a perfectly fair grace period. We see no need to raise the age to which young adults can make poor choices without ramifications. Young people are aware of the law and its consequences. Facing those penalties can be difficult, but being the ages under consideration ourselves, we know that the toughest pills to swallow also teach the most important lessons. We fear that, given the power to erase past mistakes, young adults would abuse the privilege.

The state legislature’s finance committee last week expanded the list of felonies ineligible for expungement, including physical abuse of a child, sexual assault of a child and stalking. Sadly, the same committee moved to keep the item in the state budget in a 9-6 vote.

If state lawmakers cannot eliminate the proposal from the budget, we hope they continue pushing to disqualify more crimes from removal.

This proposal deserves the scrutiny of the public and should not have been embedded in the statewide budget. The policy is simply a bad one. It removes personal responsibility from young adults who know the law should learn to respect it.

VIEWPOINT

Be wary of ‘green’ claims Apparently green is in. Companies and agencies of all sorts are launching new ‘green’ initiatives in an effort to conserve energy and preserve the environment.

The young generations of our country are being inundated with green rhetoric, and they seem willing to lend a helping hand.

I warn our young generations to be wary of companies’ socalled ‘green initiatives.’ In the height of environmental awareness, many companies have found a way to reduce their operating costs by having the consumer bear the burden of their expenses. Companies play on consumers’ good will; they encourage reducing energy costs by asking consumers to limit their usage while still charging full price for reduced services.

Hotels today are notorious for this. They now ask their customers to reuse towels, bed dressings and amenities during their stay. This saves hotels millions of dollars nationally in reduced utility costs and cleaning expenses. The companies, in turn, pocket this revenue by offering no reduced price even though the services are reduced. These companies then masquerade as being a ’green’ company when, in fact, the customer assumes all the efforts of ‘going green’ and the company pockets all [profits]. Sodexo’s ‘trayless dining’ initiative is no exception.

A recent Tribune article estimated that Marquette Cafeterias’ trayless dining efforts could save 2000 to 3000 gallons of water per day in addition to decreased energy and detergent usage. These

large numbers will save Sodexo thousands of dollars. What I find curious is that these decreased expenses are not reflected in the prices that Sodexo charges for their trayless services. Marquette students are doing the legwork for Sodexo while Sodexo claims not only the monetary benefit of these measures, but also the praise for going green, when really it is the students that assume the burden of going green.

The price that cafeteria diners pay for Sodexo services and products incorporates the costs of purchasing and cleaning trays.

Therefore, Marquette students, like so many other goodwilled consumers, are paying an inflated price for goods and services.

Sodexo is asking Marquette students to do the work of ‘going green’ while the company pockets the profits of these measures.

If Sodexo truly cared about the environment as opposed to their bottom line, they would either lower their prices to account for their reduced expenses or they would donate the money they saved by going green to some kind of environmental agency to further the cause.

Companies have brought up a serious ethical issue of using customers’ good will to reduce their costs that the modern consumer must be aware of. It is necessary now to investigate how ‘green’ companies really are.

Dedications, speakers and other events next school year will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Marquette University first admitting women.

In 1909, Marquette became the first Catholic university in the United States to admit women, said Stephanie Quade, dean of students.

“That’s really worth celebrating,” said Quade, a co-chair of the all-university centennial planning committee.

The dedication of the new sophomore dormitory, McCabe Hall, will be part of the celebration, Quade said. The hall is named after the Rev. James McCabe, who was president of Marquette at the time it started admitting women.

The newly formed Women and Gender Studies major, which will begin in the fall, will sponsor a series of lunch presentations where faculty members will present research related to gender studies,

Quade said.

Beyond the residence hall dedication and lunch presentations, specific plans for centennial events are not certain, she said.

Rana Altenburg, vice president of the Office of Public Affairs and a co-chair of the planning committee, said all university departments have been encouraged to examine the lecturers they invite and see if there is a way to “highlight women researchers or women speakers.”

The centennial’s planning team established a fund to assist departments and organizations with bringing in speakers and planning events.

There will also be a Women’s Centennial Week during the first full week of October, which will serve as a formal kickoff for all of the year’s events, Quade said.

Freshmen will already be involved in the centennial celebration when they step on campus — this fall’s freshman reading program book, “Persepolis” by Marjane Satrapi, was chosen partly because of its relation to women’s issues, said Claire Anglim, a senior in the College of Communication.

The book follows a girl’s

struggles growing up in Iran at the time of the Islamic Revolution, said Anglim, a member of the centennial planning team.

Events related to the centennial will focus on the anniversary itself, as well as the ways various people — not just women — continue to be marginalized, Quade said.

The question that needs to be asked, Quade said, is, “Who’s still waiting at the door?”

Altenburg agreed, saying it was important to know that the centennial celebration would not simply be a look at the past.

The centennial will examine “what’s still left for us to do in the future” and “the issues we still have to look at as a university,” Altenburg said.

The celebration will seek to engage not just current faculty and students, but also alumni, particularly women, Altenburg said.

The university plans on inviting some women alumni back to campus to receive awards, Anglim said.

“I’m really excited for it,” she said. “I wish I was a student here next year.”

Dear Diary: remembering the 2008-’09 year The top news items around Marquette this school year, from freshman orientation to dead week

By Roger Lopez

APRIL

roger.lopez@marquette.edu

SEPTEMBER

On the early morning of Sept. 13, 2008, then-Marquette student Jessica Cody was taken into custody by the Milwaukee Police Department for stabbing two others at a Water Street bar. Cody stabbed Katlynn Dallman, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, and Janel Higgs, a visiting student from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The two were taken to the hospital to receive treatment for their wounds, but were released later that day.

Cody was convicted on two counts of second degree recklessly endangering safety on March 27, 2009. Her sentencing hearing is scheduled for May 8.

NOVEMBER

On April 1st, 2009, the State of Wisconsin Building Commission did not approve Marquette’s proposal for $10 million to help fund the first phase of construction of the $100 million Discovery Learning Complex. The request was backed by state Sen. Jeffrey Plale (D-South Milwaukee), who said he withdrew the proposal before it came to a vote because it lacked sufficient support. While the university continues raising funds for the proposed engineering building, construction continues on Eckstein Hall and Zilber Hall, the new student services building.

In April, construction began on a Wells Street pedestrian median between 13th and 16th Streets. Concerns about student safety crossing Wells were addressed by MUSG, which worked with the university and city to finalize plans for the project.

On Nov. 13, 2008, the Marquette Student Government Senate failed to approve the distribution of an extra $18,000 to the Student Organizations Allocations Committee and the Program Board. The unexpected revenue came from additional Student Actvity Fee funds because of a larger-than-expected freshman class size. The measure to distribute the extra funds fell one vote short. Only 20 of 30 senators were present at the meeting, and the legislation required a two-thirds vote of the Senate for approval.

JANUARY

In January, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals filed a complaint against the university, alleging that animals were both treated and killed inhumanely in BIOL 171: Experimental Physiology. A senior in the College of Arts & Sciences told PETA of an instance when a turtle tried to walk and coughed up blood after being struck with a hammer. Edward Blumenthal, an assistant professor of biological sciences who taught the course, denied that charge. He said the class was an elective and that students knew ahead of time that animals would be used in the course.

FEBRUARY

On Feb. 10, 2009, a propane fire broke out on the construction site of Eckstein Hall, Marquette’s new Law School building. It took firefighters about two and a half hours to contain the fire. The fire did not delay construction, and the opening of the building is still planned for fall 2010.

MARCH

On March 5, 2009, Lori Bergen, a professor and director of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Texas State University, was selected as the new dean for the College of Communication. She will start at Marquette on July 1. New deans for the Colleges of Nursing and Business Administration, as well as a new vice president for student affairs, started this school year.

On March 19, 2009, the search for a new dean for the College of Arts & Sciences was closed after having difficulties attracting and retaining candidates for the position. A new search will begin in late August or early September.

Provost John Pauly hopes the new search will attract a broader group of candidates with a wide range of administrative experiences.

Student undercover at evangelical college Writes of life at strict university

By Matthew Reddin matthew.reddin@marquette.edu

When Kevin Roose decided to attend Liberty University, the world’s largest evangelical Christian college, according to his Web site, he went for a slightly different reason than most college-bound students: He was writing a book.

The book, “The Unlikely Disciple: A Sinner’s Semester at America’s Holiest University,” was released in late March, and depicted an inside look at what a semester is like for students at Liberty. Roose, now a senior at Brown University, decided to go undercover at Liberty for the second semester of his sophomore year after meeting some students from Liberty his freshman year at Brown.

He said he remembered thinking how hard it was to communicate with students who were exactly like him in every other way.

“I was absolutely flabbergasted,” Roose said. “They had such a parallel culture from my own.”

Kevin Roose, a senior at Brown University, spent a semester of his junior year undercover at Liberty University, a very conservative college. He used his experiences to write a book titled “The Unlikely Disciple: A Sinner’s Semester at America’s Holiest University.”

Once at Liberty, Roose said he found it very hard to fit in with the students there.

“It’s not a mainstream Christian college,” Roose said, recalling the strictness of Liberty’s code of conduct. Roose said students at Liberty are not allowed

to curse, drink, stay out late, listen to offensive music, or watch R-rated movies.

“There goes 90 percent of my day,” Roose joked.

However, Roose said he slowly adapted to Liberty, and found that the students there were not

what he had anticipated.

“I expected to struggle to find good things to say about them or about Liberty,” he said.

Having gone in looking to write an exposé on the university, Roose said he was surprised to find that people

at Liberty University were generally friendly, even if he didn’t agree with everything they believed.

State cracks down on OWIs

When Mothers Against Drunk Driving came out with a progress report in 2007 listing Wisconsin last in the nation in progressing to deter Operating While Intoxicated arrests, the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office vowed to make big changes.

The sheriff soon created a drunk driving task force, and significant changes were seen after just one year: 951 OWIs were issued in 2007 compared to 1,509 in 2008.

“It is not about increasing OWI arrests. It is about preventing people from driving impaired under alcohol or drugs in the first place,” he said.

Brown said this effort was made possible by the Bureau of Transportation, which gave a $115,000 grant to the program.

Dennis Hughes, the safety programs section chief for the BOT State Patrol, said drunk driving programs and laws that have been implemented in the past have always had an immediate effect. The fact that so many jurisdictions are working together makes the effort even more effective.

“It is very gratifying that the sheriff and other chiefs have joined in partnership in cracking See Drunk, page 9

taken an even bigger step with the compilation of the southeast multi-jurisdictional task force — a team that consists of 13 different agencies.

Sergeant William Brown, the supervisor of the new task force, explained how the task force operates.

“When we put this together, the outside agencies focused on the off ramps, so when the person jumps off the freeway system where we are, the other agencies are there waiting for them to make a violation,” Brown said. “When this happens we stop, test and arrest.”

“Stop, Test and Arrest” is the official motto of the task force.

It was put to the test on April 25 during the team’s first official run after a trial on April 10. The task force issued 30 OWIs. This is not what task force is

On Tuesday, Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker formally announced his candidacy to run for governor of Wisconsin in 2010 as a candidate for the Republican Party.

It is still to be determined whether Gov. Jim Doyle of the Democrat Party will seek a third term, according to Lee Sensenbrenner, a spokesman for the governor.

The county executive, 41, visited Green Bay, Wausau, Eau Claire and Dane Tuesday.

Walker’s last trip of the day was to Wisconsin Lutheran College in Wauwatosa, his hometown. For the most part, Walker’s speech was focused on criticizing Doyle’s policies.

“Our troubles (in Wisconsin) come largely from leaders who repeatedly put the interests of government before the interests of the people they are supposed to serve,” Walker said.

Initially low-key, Walker’s candor grew as he said Doyle was likely to increase state spending and raise taxes, which would leave more people out of work.

Probable swine flu cases found in Milwaukee

By Carrie Antlfinger Associated Press

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Three probable swine flu cases have been found in Wisconsin and four of Milwaukee’s public schools have been shut down indefinitely, city officials said Wednesday.

Mayor Tom Barrett said he expected confirmation within 48 hours from the federal Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta of swine flu in Wisconsin. The state hasn’t had any confirmed cases since the outbreak of the illness in Mexico.

“We’ve taken these actions in our community today to slow the spread of disease,” said Milwaukee Health Commissioner Bevan Baker said. “We know that disease is existing in neighboring states so we are trying to slow it here.”

Baker said the city’s two probable cases involved one adult and one child. Officials said the pair are not related but couldn’t say whether they had any contact. At least one of them had contacts with children in the schools or-

dered closed, Baker said.

The third probable case involved an adult in Adams County in central Wisconsin, officials said.

Adams County Health Officer Linda McFarlin issued a news release saying the man visited another part of the U.S. and showed symptoms on his return but is doing well while isolated at his home.

She said others who had contact with him are taking the proper precautions.

No identifying information or conditions were given on the other two cases.

As of Wednesday, the state reported it has submitted 144 suspected cases for testing, 41 came out negative, 100 were pending and the three were listed as probable.

Given the origin of the outbreak, state Health Officer Seth Foldy said officials have been reaching out to community clinics in Hispanic neighborhoods and offering Spanish-language materials on the flu.

A number of children linked with the Milwaukee cases have shown symptoms consistent with swine flu, which led to the decision to close three elementary schools on the largely Hispanic south side and one high school on the east side, Baker said.

Milwaukee Public Schools spokeswoman Roseann St. Aubin said she had no other information on the cases, but “we have not noted any high numbers of absences at these schools.”

Health officials didn’t say when they found out about the cases, but Barrett said he found out about the first case Wednesday morning.

The mayor said he didn’t want to alarm residents.

“Because I’m concerned about children being exposed to this, because we think there is a relationship between some of the children who have shown flu-like symptoms at these four schools, we felt — and again I am speaking as a father — that the prudent course of action was for us ... that these schools should be closed,” Barrett said.

Baker urged people with fevers, cough, sore throats or running and stuffy noses to seek medical attention.

“We are now making a recommendation that any person in Milwaukee who has symptoms consistent with influenza stay at home from work or school,” Baker said.

The World Health Organization raised its pandemic alert Wednesday to phase 5, indicating widespread human-to-human transmission. That’s one step below level 6, a full-fledged pandemic.

A University of Wisconsin-Madison study from last June found Wisconsin’s tourism industry and low-income workers would likely be the hardest hit by a pandemic that could damage the state’s economy.

The hospitality and entertainment industries would be hardest hit because people would stop traveling, said one of the researchers, Professor Vicki Bier, from the school’s Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering. Workers in those areas generally earn low wages and wouldn’t be able to go without a paycheck for a long time, she said.

Bier said that was one of the most eye-opening parts of the study — that the working poor would be hardest hit.

“It’s something that has a broad enough impact to the state economy that everybody needs to be concerned about it and preparing for it,” Bier said.

AP writers Colin Fly and James A. Carlson contributed to this report.

intern on the campaign.

One of the young faces in the crowd was Josiah Cantrall, 18, chairman of the Washington County Young Republicans. Cantrall, who was home-schooled and just graduated high school said he believed restoring the conservative message and that Walker is the man to do so.

“The majority of Americans have some conservative feelings, but our message has failed,” Cantrall said. “I think he would issue in new standards of justice and responsibility.”

Jim Geldreich, chairman of the Washington County Republican Party, said Cantrall is an excellent example of who Walker’s campaign needs to attract in the fall.

“He connects well with young people,” he said. “He’s younger than the typical candidate. I am not sure if they realize how much in taxes they will pay in full-time jobs.”

Vince Trovato, coordinator of the Young Republicans in Waukesha County and a member of the Republican Party of Waukesha County Executive Board, said Walker would bring a fresh approach to Madison.

“Fiscal discipline is his breadand-butter issue,” Trovato said.

“This governor seems hell-bent on being one of the most corrupt governors in our state’s history.

With Scott, I think we can restore

some leadership.”

Kathy Kiernan, a volunteer on the campaign, said, “He is truly a conservative … He’s not a cookie-cutter politician, but a straight shooter.”

Contrastingly, Jason Stephany, executive director of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, said Walker should clean up issues within Milwaukee County first before tackling the gubernatorial position.

“While he’s out traveling and criticizing Gov. Doyle, it’s the governor and the legislature that are cleaning up his mess,” Stephany said. “This is either seriously ironic or the height of hypocrisy.”

Stephany also said one such issue was the state taking control of the Milwaukee Public Aid Infrastructure. He said Walker’s tour has “no ideas” and is merely rhetoric that fails to offer constructive policies.

Julia Azari, an assistant professor of political science, said Walker announced now because of his name recognition if Doyle chooses not to run.

“I think that if Doyle runs against Walker, it will be a race that goes back to basic ideas in American politics about the role of government and private business,” Azari said via e-mail.

Walker also ran for governor in 2006, his campaign said. He has served as Milwaukee County Executive since 2002, when he won a special election after the former County Executive Tom Ament was recalled following his involvement in a pension scandal.

be,” Roose said.

Andrew Claudio, a sophomore at Liberty, echoes this sentiment.

“People at Liberty are pretty down to earth,” Claudio said.

He adds that, while there are people at both extremes who are either forced to attend and hate it or incredibly conservative, most are in the middle.

Claudio also said people at Liberty aren’t expected to be perfect or innately good.

“Everybody makes mistakes,” Claudio said. “That’s why you go to a Christian college, so you can surround yourself with the right people.”

Roose said he has met with the current president of Liberty since his semester there to discuss the book, and said he feels the university has an attitude of

Read the

THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 2009 “tempered acceptance” toward the book. They have stocked the book on the university bookshelves, but have packaged it with a disclaimer alleging factual inaccuracies and offensive sexual references.

“They’re doing their best to accept the book,” Roose said.

Karen Swallow Prior, a professor at Liberty who reviewed the book for Christianity Today magazine, said that Roose’s integrity and openness surprised her.

“Kevin’s honesty, fairness and objectivity greatly exceeded my expectations,” Swallow Prior said. “As an undercover reporter, Kevin brought as much integrity to that position as he possibly could.”

Swallow Prior also said the simple fact that Roose was able to blend in at Liberty without being exposed is an important lesson for the university.

“How many others might there be here who have the same

questions, doubts and concerns Kevin had?” she asked. “One doesn’t need to be an undercover reporter to have such.”

However, Swallow Prior is critical of one particular aspect of his study: Roose only took freshman-level, required general education courses, and none of the courses in his major, English. She said she feels this is an inaccurate portrayal of the academic experience at Liberty.

“Even the typical freshman takes an academic course or two in addition to the required general education courses,” Swallow Prior said.

Overall, Swallow Prior said the book will be helpful in closing the very “God divide” that is made apparent by the book and the reaction to it.

“Kevin’s book will go a great way towards helping those on both sides who wish to close the gap do exactly that,” Swallow Prior said.

By Kaellen Hessel kaellen.hessel@marquette.edu

A lawsuit has been filed against the School District of Elmbrook for holding two of its high schools’ graduation ceremonies at Elmbrook Church in Brookfield.

Americans United for Separation of Church and State filed the suit on behalf of nine students, parents and alumni, said Alex Luchenitser, senior litigation counsel for AUSCS, a nonprofit educational organization committed to protecting the separation of church and state.

The organization is asking for an injunction prohibiting the schools from holding graduation at the church this year and in future years, Luchenitser said. It is also looking for a legal declaration that past graduations were unconstitutional and for nominal damages for plaintiffs that were hurt in previous years because of this, he said.

In a year, the graduation services will be moved back to campus after renovations have been completed, Elmbrook Superintendent Matt Gibson said.

Graduation services have been held at Elmbrook Church for Brookfield Central High School

since 2000 and for Brookfield East High School since 2002, Luchenitser said.

Both schools have studied the issue and determined this venue was the best and most cost effective, said Mark Kapocius, staff counsel for Elmbrook School District.

Each year, a group of students from each school works with their principal to find the best location for graduation, Gibson said.

Elmbrook Church was picked to host the ceremonies because it can accommodate large crowds, it is air-conditioned and handicap accessible, and it has ample parking and a high-quality audiovisual system, Kapocius said.

“It’s an exceptionally comfortable environment,” he said.

The 3,200 seat auditorium allows students to invite more guests than they could in a constricting gymnasium, said Mel Lorenz, senior pastor at Elmbrook Church.

The graduations are held in the sanctuary of the church, which has a very large cross behind the stage that you cannot avoid looking at, Luchenitser said. They are graduating in a religious situation, he said, with Bibles in the pews where attendees sit and religious symbols throughout the building.

Graduating seniors and their families are essentially being forced to go to church in order to attend their own graduation, Luchenitser said.

He said the church treats many

of the attendees as second-class citizens, saying they are going to hell because their beliefs differ from the church’s.

The church’s beliefs are a moot point, Lorenz said. For the groups renting the building, it’s just a building, he said, and it has nothing to do with the beliefs of the church.

There has been no federal court case saying graduations cannot be held in churches, Kapocius said.

It has national implications that could go beyond allowing graduations at churches, he said.

“It’s an interesting battle and there are a lot of people interested in the outcome,” Kapocius said.

Kapocius said he expects a decision about the injunction will be made during May. The school board has not contemplated other venues if the injunction goes through, he said.

If the court decides that stopping graduations at the church is not a good remedy, the second best solution is to cover up all of the religious symbols, Luchenitser said. This would not be an ideal solution because if a school

makes a church cover up religious symbols, it is like government officials interfering in the church’s religious practices, he said.

Elmbrook Church has never intentionally covered any of its symbols and does not plan to, Lorenz said.

“We feel it would be a contradiction of the church’s identity to cover a part of its basic architecture,” he said.

He said it is impractical to disguise a church as a secular building.

Summer Preview

P

hew, another spring semester is almost over. That means no more books, group projects or roommates. (That’s unless you’re enrolled summer school, but that’s your own fault). More time to kick back, relax and enjoy a nice, time at Bradford Beach or great performances at Bay View’s Chill on the Hill, The Marcus Center, The Oriental and The Pabst. This summer Milwaukee sees everything from “Phantom of the Opera” to The National. Here’s a preview of the best events coming to the city:

W

hen the summer heat gets to be too much to handle, there is no better way to cool down than a couple of hours inside an air conditioned movie theater. And Hollywood knows this too, pulling out their biggest and brightest stars to try and create a summer blockbuster.

One of the highly anticipated films of the year is the J.J. Abrams-directed remake, “Star Trek.” With a legacy and a legion of fans already in love with the series, there was a fine line that the film had to walk — honoring the film without just being a straight copycat.

Chris Pine, who plays a young James T. Kirk, said he had to work at making this character more than just a William Shatner impersonation.

“It wasn’t as if I have like a sheet of (Shatner-ian) characteristics that I wanted to keep and then like a sheet of new things that I wanted to do in the character,” Pine said. “It was more about really paying attention to the script that I was given, making sure that I did my best to bring that character that I read there to life.”

Zachary Quinto, who plays the young Spock, felt that the original actors brought certain characteristics of themselves to the film, so those aspects of the actor

T

o put it bluntly, winter sucks. These past couple years have been particularly painful. The long, blistering winters with ample amounts of snow fall, plus those darn varying temperatures. One day it feels like it’s spring, the next day it’s below freezing.

But alas, it’s all over. At least for a couple months.

One of the most exciting times in Milwaukee is when you can finally chill out on a porch or patio and enjoy the fresh air. But if that ever gets a little too mundane, there’s endless amounts of festivals in all different neighborhoods of the city this summer:

can’t be separated from the character.

“He is defined by his cultural makeup and so I had to really connect to his circumstances personally so that I could make them my own,” Quinto said.

However, both actors said that you don’t need to be a Trekker in order to enjoy this new film.

“I think that non-fans can look forward to the fact that this is a movie that’s much more about relationships and characters, and challenges than it is about, you know, planets and starships and aliens,” Quinto said.

Another film coming out this summer is the new Pixar film, “Up,” which is being presenting in both 2-D and 3-D animation. The movie tells the story of 78-year-old Carl Fredricksen, who attaches balloons to his house in order to fly to South America.

Director Pete Doctor, who also directed “Monsters, Inc.” and was a writer on both “Toy Story” films, said the original concept came about when he was just thinking about the idea of being able to get away.

“I’m not an extrovert,” Doctor said. “So the idea of getting away from it all was really appealing.”

The idea of having a leading cartoon character be not only human, but an old man, would be a concept that might scare away some moviemakers. However, Doctor

Chill on the Hill

Tuesdays, 6 p.m., May 26 through September 1 at Humboldt Park, 3000 S. Howell Ave. While Jazz in the Park might be more popular (and crowded), Chill on the Hill, Bay View’s weekly Tuesday night musical series, gives Milwaukee picnickers a wider range of genres, from jazz and bluegrass to alternative and Latin fusion. In its fifth year, Chill’s attendance has been on the rise; last year averaging more than 1,000 people a night. Milwaukee’s iconic Paul Cebar kicks off the first night with his New Orleans’ influenced R&B.

Jazz in the Park

Thursdays, 6:30 p.m., June 4 through September 24 at Cathedral Square Park, 520 E. Wells St.

RiverSplash

June 5-7 at Milwaukee River between Kilbourn Avenue and Knapp Street, Old World Third and Water Streets Last year’s RiverSplash ended with a bang, literally. A gangrelated shooting cut short Saturday night’s activities of the annual festival. With more than 150,000 people over the free three-day event, crowds tended to get a little unruly after 10 p.m. And probably rightly so. The event is the first summer festival in a city typically known for three things: long, frigid winters, beer and summer festivals.

However, RiverSplash adds another element: music. Water and Third Streets are filled with wide ranges of local music Friday and Saturday, cover-

Summerfest

June 25-July 5 at Maier Festival Park, 200 N. Harbor Dr. The biggest, overblown and overrated festival in Milwaukee, Summerfest loves bringing commercially viable but musically deficient groups to the city and charging an arm and a leg. For some, $40 to $50 is cheap to see typical bar white noise bands like Bon Jovi, Kid Rock and Kenny Chesney, but as always (except for Bob Dylan and Willy Nelson’s show at the amphitheater), the better performances are cost efficient.

The $15 admission is worthy for musicians like Lupe Fiasco, Buddy Guy and The Roots and maybe worth the gamble to see buzzed about but mediocre performers like Asher Roth.

hether indoors or outdoors, Milwaukee will offer some impressive concerts this summer. Both the likes of legends like Bob Dylan and breaking singer/ songwriter Lykke Li will be coming to town, and one venue is even holding a show for free (hello student budgets).

The Soul of John Black

Concerts

May 11 Turner Hall Ballroom, 1032 N. 4th St. A night of electric funk and 1960s style soul is completely free at Turner Hall Ballroom on May 11 with the second No Buck Show featuring the Soul of John Black. Critics have compared the unique sounds of John Bingham to the likes of blues greats like Leadbelly, John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters.

Those are some big compliments.

Unlike some other “free concert” scams around town, this one is legitimate — there’s no drink minimum or cover charge.

Lupe Fiasco

June 29 Summerfest, 200 N. Harbor Dr. It’s a good time for Lupe to grace Milwaukee, not only because Summerfest is unbelievably fun, but the Chicago hip hop phenomenon has a new album scheduled for release in June.

He just announced last week that he’ll be climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro with Justin Timberlake this fall to raise funds for charity, so check him out to wish him luck and hear his hits like “Kick, Push” and “Superstar.”

July 17 The Pabst Theater, 144 E. Wells St. It’s tough to find the words to describe The National. Lead singer Matt Berninger’s deep baritone voice is haunting, even on the band’s less brooding tracks, and he’s an intensely emotional performer. Their 2007 album Boxer landed on the Billboard charts and was hailed in various music reviews as one of the top albums of the year, propelling this Brooklyn-based indie rock group into the spotlight.

Lykke Li

August 6 The Pabst Theater, 144 E. Wells St. The danceable, young-love themed songs of the Swedish indie rock singer have been earning nods from critics who appreciate the unique combination of her doll-like vocals and electro beats paired with steel drums and Spanish guitars. She’s been known to perform energetic shows and just told Coachella-goers that she’d wake them up with “techno coffee,” her hit song “Little Bit.” - Molly Gamble molly.gamble@marquette.edu

July 1 Summerfest, 200 N. Harbor Dr. Announced last week, Dylan will be headlining the fest, so save up if you have to - tickets are between $37 and $60 and go on sale May 2. With his recently released 33rd studio album Together Through Life, Dylan will have new material to perform in addition to an insanely wide catalog. Plus, seeing the legend outdoors on Lake Michigan in warm weather will probably top many concert experiences.

July 4 Taste of Chicago, Grant Park This is a huge lineup considering it’s free at the Taste. Take a summer road trip and celebrate the Fourth of July with blues legend and Chicago’s own Buddy Guy during a free show at the Petrillo Music Shell in Grant Park.

he summer isn’t just about lounging around the beach for some people. If you’re looking for something more culturally enriching, there are plenty of options in the Milwaukee area to fulfill your artsy side.

On Stage

Beam me up, Scotty. It’s William Shatner … in a ballet? Yep, that’s what it says. And no, Capitan Kirk isn’t about to pirouette his way through the good ship Enterprise. The Milwaukee Ballet’s May production of “Live and Kicking” includes Margo Sappington’s Common People, a piece that features music by Ben Folds and random spoken words

by Shatner. “Live and Kicking” also spotlights the work of two other choreographers, including one piece featuring the music of Swedish rock band Hoven Droven.

Since 1986 when it premiered in London, composer Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “The Phantom of the Opera” has been seen in more performances than any other Broadway show in history. The musical is based on the novel “Le Fantôme de l’Opéra” and has been enjoyed by millions of people the

“Phantom has been here twice before, once in 1996 and again in 2000,” said Connie Place, public relations director for the Marcus Center.

“Both runs of the show were very successful! People love this classic Broadway show,” Place said.

Etc. It might be hard to believe now, but without tests and papers to work on over the summer, boredom can set in. Sometimes the best cure involves doing something out of the ordinary. Here are a few of ways of combating summer boredom.

Indoors:

Test out some of Milwaukee’s famous brews without going to the bar. The Sprecher Brewing Company, 701 W. Glendale Ave., Miller Brewing Company, 4251 W. State St., and Lakefront Brewery, Inc., 1872 N. Commerce St., all offer educational tours in beer making with plenty of taste testing (for those over 21).

Sprecher’s tour costs $4 and runs Friday at 4 p.m., Saturday at 1, 2 and 3 p.m., and Sunday at noon, 1 and 2 p.m. A reservation is required. The tour brings visitors through its famous cellars and demonstrates how it brews beer in true Old World fashion.

Miller offers a free tour that runs about every half hour Monday through Saturday 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Highlights of tour include seeing the giant packing center, the caves where Miller first stored its beer to keep it cold, and the Miller Inn where you can gulp Miller and Leinenkugel beer or pop.

Lakefront’s tour is the most generous of the three. While the $6 price tag might at first seem hefty, Lakefront gives visitors four beers to taste, a pint glass and a coupon for a free beer good at any one of a number of downtown bars. This small tour lets you drink before, during and after. Lakefront tours run Monday through Thursday at 3 p.m.; Friday 3 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.; and Saturday 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Lazy Day:

If you find yourself bored and too lazy to leave the house, try checking out Relapse, out May 15,

by Eminem if nothing more than to take a nostalgic ride.

After nearly four years of hiding, Eminem emerges from the hip-hop abyss with his first album since 2004’s Encore.

Inspired in part by his own relapse into abusing prescription medicine, Eminem’s new record is supposed to be more serious than past ones. If the video for the song “We Made You,” is any sign of what the rest of Relapse will be like; serious doesn’t seem to be the right word.

In the video, Eminem makes fun of everything pop culture from Bret Michaels to Sarah Palin. It looks like Shady’s back.

Top 10 sports stories of 2008-’09

By John Borneman

L

john.borneman@marquette.edu

et’s start by acknowledging that there are still sports to be played by Marquette athletes this year. Members of the track and field team will compete in the Big East Championships this weekend, and the team has meets into late May. Senior golfer Mike Van Sickle will likely play for Marquette when the NCAA Tournament field is set, and intramural athletes know there

1

The Mike Van Sickle show

Those who doubt that golf is really an individual sport need look no further than Van Sickle’s 2008-’09 season. Coming off a Big East Tournament win in the spring of 2008, the Golden Eagles failed to win a single tournament after taking home three titles in 2007-’08.

Van Sickle, however, had no trouble finding the winner’s circle. He led all Division I golfers this season with five wins, nearly doubling his school-record career total to 11. His crowning achievement

was a fall stretch in which he won four of six tournaments — including three straight. The senior also leads the NCAA in scoring average (69.67), birdies (160), eagles (eight), subpar strokes per round (5.33) and par-4 scoring (3.94). Is that enough?

Sure, he missed out on a Big East title this season (finishing tied for second), but let’s be honest this year it was more notable when Van Sickle lost a tournament than when he won.

are still a few championship t-shirts left for the taking.

But rouge track meets aside, the sports scene on Marquette’s campus is just about done for this school year. And that means it’s time for the Tribune to select its top 10 sports stories of 2008-’09.

Some of the stories are positive; some are not. But each story was important, so without further delay let’s get to No. 1…

2

Wait, who’s playing tomorrow?

Marquette senior guard Dominic James’ near-miraculous return from a broken foot during the NCAA Tournament is the runaway winner of this year’s “text from a friend that you didn’t believe” award.

In case you missed it or, you know, don’t have a text plan, James suffered a broken foot in a game against Connecticut on February 25. Initial estimates said he’d need eight weeks to recover, spelling the end of his basketball-playing career at Marquette.

Or so we thought. Late in the night before Marquette’s game against Missouri in round two of the NCAA Tour-

nament, word came that James would be on the court to finish his career with his Golden Eagle teammates — just 22 days after suffering his injury. His performance was mostly ceremonial.

James played 17 minutes with one assist, one turnover and three fouls as Marquette lost, 83-79.

Still, the move allowed James, one of the more celebrated basketball players in Marquette history, to end his season in uniform. And speaking of James, that brings us to our No. 3 sports moment…

COLUMN

Think your future is cloudy, seniors?

Nick Bullock Man it must suck to be a talented college basketball player during finals week.

It’s bad enough that Marquette students don’t have a “dead week” to prepare for that hellish stretch of exams, but seniors Jerel McNeal,

Wesley Matthews and Dominic James really have to manage their time wisely.

Sure, Matthews’ future probably isn’t riding on how well he does in his stats class. But it is riding on how well he does in the individual workouts that will fill his next few weeks leading up to the NBA draft on June 25 at Madison Square Garden.

Think of it as a job interview.

The guard trio will be traveling (not together) all over the country pimping themselves out to their potential employers in hopes of be-

coming one of 60 draft selections.

Who will those employers be?

Glad you asked.

Jonathan Givony, of draftexpress.com, said that it is easy to predict which teams will work out some of the top players, because those players are expected to get picked in a certain range. Everyone expects Blake Griffin of Oklahoma to be the first pick, and there is no way he falls past No. 2. So why would teams other than Sacramento or Washington give him a workout?

The later into the draft play-

ers fall, however, the harder it is to predict where they will be selected, because these players are lesser known and therefore not as closely analyzed. Since McNeal, Matthews and James will likely be second-round picks, if they are drafted at all, where they are picked really comes down even more to team needs.

In other words, every team in the league would like a Blake Griffin, even if they already have a great power forward.

So what teams could use a Jerel McNeal, a Wesley Mat-

thews or Dominic James? Well, Givony said draftexpress.com has the latter two going undrafted, but that he could see a team selecting them with the intention of sending them to develop in Europe for a few years.

“James isn’t the biggest guy. He isn’t a great shooter. He’s been a little bit inconsistent throughout his career,” Givony said.

Combine those attributes with James’ amazing speed, quickness and athleticism and it is clear that See Future, page 21

The lighter side of sports

with Eric Grover

Not wanting to be outdone by the BB-gun toting, duckshooting members of its school basketball team, University of Oregon Ultimate Frisbee has had the rest of its season cancelled after its club-sport student board received complaints that members of the men’s team had played a game while naked at Oregon State on April 11. Like the rest of you, I just want to know — who won the game?

The Ducks had previously been on probation since November after police responded to a noise complaint for a party being thrown at a team

residence. Officers found five kegs of beer and several minors hiding in an attic. The team had also been reprimanded the year before for drinking before a fundraiser and getting speeding tickets on the way to a tournament.

Team co-captain Dusty Becker would like to know what the big deal is.

“Speeding, drinking, nudity — they’re not bad things,” Becker unbelievably said to the Associated Press. “They’re things a big portion of the community doesn’t think are wrong.”

It’s debatable, but I think

Future

this could be my favorite quote ever. Honestly, I think the guy’s got a point. Those things are awesome. Especially at the same time.

I’m not sure whose judgment is worse, Becker’s or whoever decided to remove half of the study tables out of Cudahy Hall the week before finals.

It’s not like there are limited study areas and a high demand or anything. Right now I can see this girl trying to study on a workspace the size of a biochemistry textbook. Which is rather large, to be fair, but still.

Player of the

Year

JEREL MCNEAL MEN’S BASKETBALL

Amidst an exciting 25-10 season for Marquette, McNeal was named an All-Big East First Team selection and an Associated Press Second Team All-America. He led the team in scoring with 19.8 points per game and steals with 2 per game. McNeal departs as the program’s alltime leading scorer, having passed George Thompson’s 40-year-old mark.

he needs to go to a more up-tempo team that can hide his shooting woes but utilize his ability to run the full-court offense. How about Indiana, New York or Golden State, with 98.9, 99 and 101 possessions per game last season, respectively, according to espn.com?

As for Matthews, Givony called him a “Jack-of-all-trades, masterof-none kind of guy.”

“He’s not a great athlete. He’s not a great shooter. But there’s a couple of things he does pretty well,” Givony said.

Two of the things he does well are get to the line and make his free throws. How about a slower-paced team thin at the two-guard like Charlotte, Toronto or Dallas?

McNeal’s defensive skills and suddenly-improved range make him a little harder to project. “He’s a shooting guard who is a little bit undersized,” Givony said. “He can defend. He can shoot. Maybe not a great ball handler.”

If McNeal intends to play the point in the pros he will likely have to be paired with a dynamic twoguard that has point skills. Maybe Portland, Philadelphia or Atlanta?

I’m excited already, aren’t you?

I can only imagine how McNeal, Matthews and James feel. It must be the same feeling you seniors have, waiting to get a call back about that job offer.

No? Well, keep trying. The world needs non-basketball players.

Farewell, ‘Big Three’

Continued from page 20

Really, is there any other spot for graduating Marquette guards Jerel McNeal, Wesley Matthews and James than spot No. 3? These guys have been lumped together since the day they stepped on Marquette’s campus and were most often referred to as the Golden Eagles’ “Big Three.”

There isn’t really a bad place to start. One could talk about the trio’s longevity — McNeal played in a school-record 130 games, James played in 129 and Matthews 127.

One could talk about the group’s scoring prowess — McNeal is first in Marquette history with 1,985

career points, James sits third with 1,749 points and Matthews is eighth with 1,673 points.

Maybe the stat that matters most is wins — the “Big Three” earned 94 of them, good for sixth place on Marquette’s all-time list. The group never advanced past the second round of the NCAA Tournament, but it made the field of 64 all four years while leaving a mark on the university itself.

“It’s a big hit,” junior forward Lazar Hayward said of witnessing the end of the careers of James, McNeal and Matthews. “I’ve grown to have so much love for those guys, like they were one of my brothers.”

Without this great guard triumvirate’s 49.1 combined points per game, the Golden Eagles will be hard pressed to produce another 25-win season.

Setting the records straight

The 2008-’09 season saw Marquette’s two all-time scoring records fall — Abbie Willenborg’s nine-year women’s basketball mark (1,818 points) and George Thompson’s 40-year men’s basketball record (1,773 points).

The culprits? McNeal and Marquette senior guard Krystal Ellis. Ellis finished her Marquette career with 1,940 points. McNeal tallied the most points in Marquette history, scoring 1,985.

Photo by Ryan Glazier/ryan.glazier@marquette.edu

Even though Krystal Ellis averaged a mere 12.3 points per game, down from 19.4 ppg in 2007’08, she still had little problem passing Abbie Willenborg’s all-time scoring record of 1,818 points.

It could be quite some time until two Marquette athletes stick around long enough to break these scoring records, but it looks like sophomore guard Angel Robinson might have a shot at Ellis’ mark.

“I know that I’m not just a scorer,” said Robinson, who has 858 career points.

“I’m going to knock down the shots when it counts.”

‘It was a special day’

Continued from page 22

That’s just about all Marquette guard Erin Monfre could say when she dropped 21 points during the Golden Eagles’ 79-59 win over West Virginia.

It wasn’t just the points — a career high — or the seven made 3-pointers — which tied an Al McGuire Center record — it was the timing.

Monfre, whose mother died in January of 2008 after a long bout with breast cancer, experienced her career game as Marquette supported the Women’s Basketball Coaches As-

sociation’s “Pink Zone” initiative for breast cancer awareness. The Golden Eagles were wearing pink, and Monfre couldn’t miss.

“There’s no real explanation other than it was a special day, and you get that extra help from up above, and there’s nothing you can do,” said Monfre, who started just six games since the 2006-’07 season. “Obviously (my mom) is helping me, looking down on me, and I did what I could with that.”

What Monfre “did” was a careerdefining performance.

Six wins and counting

Why put the Marquette men’s soccer team at spot No. 6? Because six is the number of wins the Golden Eagles have after three years under coach Louis Bennett.

During the 2008 season the Golden Eagles racked up three wins, which was more than they had in 2007 (two) or 2006 (one) but was still far from impressive. Marquette was outscored 2112 on the year, and the Golden Eagles were shut out on 10 occasions.

But hey, maybe Bennett is about to turn this thing around. Marquette had a solid spring, and after a 5-4 penalty kick win over Illinois-Chicago, freshman Calum Mallace was talking a big game: “I think all fall we knew that we could hang with the big teams,” he said.

“But it is nice to show them that we feel we are just as strong if not stronger than them. We are the better team.”

The birth of bad Buzz jokes

Continued from page 23

When Buzz Williams became the Marquette men’s basketball coach in April of 2008, few people knew what to think of the head-shaving Texan who enjoyed sweet tea and kept a running count of the number of days he was employed by Marquette.

The hiring sparked more “Marquette creates a Buzz� headlines than you could shake a stick at, but there was no mocking the results of Willliams’ first season at the helm — a 25-10 record, in-

cluding a 16-2 mark at home and a trip to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

But the best part about Williams was his propensity for saying things he probably shouldn’t — remember “I’ve stopped practice more times as it relates to (sophomore forward) Pat Hazel’s mistakes, maybe, than the rest of the team combined�? — and his habit of listing obscure statistics that had every media member at the NCAA Tournament convinced he was a Rainman-like figure.

Buzz Williams’ southern charm wasn’t enough to get the ‘Big Three’ past the round of 32, but rest assured, Williams will be back for another round of sweet tea next season.

Any silver lining?

There weren’t many positives to take from the women’s basketball team’s 2008’09 campaign, which saw the Golden Eagles follow up a WNIT Championship by ďŹ nishing 17-16, losing to No. 16-seed Cincinnati in the ďŹ rst round of the Big East Tournament and heading back to the WNIT. Even the play of Ellis — 12.3 points per game, 2.5 assists per game — was less than encouraging as the Marquette star fought the lingering effects of a knee injury. It was all pretty much a big disappointment from start to ďŹ nish.

But if there was a silver lining, it was the emergence of Robinson — 13.9 ppg, 5.0 rpg — as the team’s best player and freshman forward Jessica Pachko — 8.9 ppg, 5.6 rpg — as a legitimate low-post threat. Here’s guessing that the Golden Eagles wouldn’t mind if those two helped break Marquette’s recent WNIT streak.

Eagles’ to send 28 to Big East Championships Grebinski and O’Brien lead way

By Eric Grover eric.grover@marquette.edu

The outdoor season has been one of progress for the Marquette track and field team and its coach, Bert Rogers.

After a disappointing finish to the indoor season where the men’s side finished dead last and the women managed second from last at the Big East Championships, the team literally had nowhere to go but up.

Coming off the dreary conditions of last weekend’s Marquette Twilight meet at Valley Fields, the Golden Eagles head into this

9

weekend’s Big East Championships in Villanova, Pa., with a bit of experience. Weather forecasts predict rain, thunder and lots of humidity, but don’t expect it to affect the Golden Eagles too much. “We’re trying to keep our confidence up,� sophomore jumper Nick Byom said. “The weather’s been bad and hindered our performances, but we’re trying to keep in mind we know what we’re capable of, and we’re going to do it this weekend.�

And the Golden Eagles certainly are capable; the numbers are there.

At the Big East meet in New York in February, Marquette sent only 24 athletes. In just a few short months, the team has added to the total, bringing it up to 28. It even grabbed three NCAA Regional qualifying marks in outdoor ­­— a

feat that eluded the Golden Eagles in the indoor season. Season by season, the players continue to improve and nothing pleases Rogers more. “That’s what we’re always trying to do — continue to improve and build on the year before,�

Rogers said. “The fact that we’re doing it means we’re doing something right, and we want to continue that trend.�

Leading the way for Marquette is none other than NCAA Regional qualifier Jayne Grebinski, who set the tone with her performances in the 3000-meter steeplechase.

Competing in the event for the first time just a few weeks ago at the Georgia Relays, the junior set a personal record and days later was named Marquette’s first-ever Big East Outdoor Athlete of the

Week. But the pressure and the individual awards haven’t gotten to her. “I expect that I will go in feeling confident and relaxed, and I think I’ll do well because of it,� she said. “I’m not really expecting to hit any certain time, I just want to go out there and be competitive.�

After being named the “Fastest Man in Milwaukee� at the UWM vs. MU Dual, sophomore sprinter Tyler O’Brien is riding high heading into Villanova. While he has the opportunity to set some personal records in the 100- and 200-meters, he’s more worried about contributing to the team. “I just hope to score in every event I’m in,� O’Brien said. “I have a full weekend, so I’m going to build off the momentum of each race and hopefully score a lot

of points for the team.�

While the team probably won’t have the depth to compete for the team title, it does have a wide range of talented athletes with the potential to win an event on any given day. High-jumper Erynn James expects a top-three finish, and leading a group of exceptional seniors, thrower Jessica Ehlen can be counted on to give her all in her final conference meet.

While no one can be sure what will transpire this time around at the Big East Championships, one thing is certain: The team is ready to show what it’s made of. “Good weather, bad weather, we’ve had everything this year,� thrower Jeff Kluge said. “I feel prepared for whatever they can throw at us.�

The name is Bond, Bond Shymansky

Continued from page 24

Women’s volleyball coach Pati Rolf left the Golden Eagles in the midst of a disappointing 11-18 campaign, and her replacement, Bond Shymansky, rivaled men’s basketball coach Buzz Williams for most distinct name on campus.

The Golden Eagles struggled under Shymansky during the spring season —

going 5-7 while trying to implement a new playing style — but a host of new recruits will try and change that next year.

Plus, Rolf hadn’t orchestrated a winning year since 2006, so it can’t get any worse, right?
