Tribune snags prestigious award

This Tuesday, the Tribune was honored on a national level, being named the 2010 Best All-Around Non-Daily Student Newspaper by the Society of Professional Journalists. It’s the first time the Tribune has won the award.

SPJ’s Mark of Excellence Awards honor the best in collegiate publishing and broadcasting.

This is on par with winning a Pulitzer Prize at a professional newspaper, or pretty darn close to it.

Almost 4,000 entries were submitted this year. The Tribune, after winning the award at the regional level, competed against 11 other newspapers nationwide to take the top prize.

Managing editor Derrick Chengery and I have received a flurry of e-mails, Facebook messages and handshakes congratulating us this week, but this award is not about us.

It’s about every single person on staff pouring everything they’ve got into making this an outstanding publication, and everyone around us who supports the Tribune and motivates us to work so hard.

It’s also about last year’s staff, which shares this honor and deserves just as much recognition. Former editor-in-chief Jim McLaughlin had this to say: “Good leaders know that they’re only as good as their people. ...

Thanks to my staff, my mentors, my advisers and professors, and to you, our readers, for helping to make the Tribune as a publication the best for the community we serve and love.

Here’s to many more superlative awards, Tribbers!”

I also want to congratulate every current and former Tribune staff member who won an award this school year, as well as those involved with the Marquette Journal, Marquette Television and Marquette Radio who won awards.

I’m so incredibly proud of the Tribune staff, and I’m quite humbled and thankful for the opportunity to lead such a talented group.

Today, I officially pass the torch to Matthew Reddin. I know he’ll make a excellent editor-in-chief, and he and his staff will continue the Tribune’s great tradition next year.

Pilarz prepares for move New president says he wants to live in dorm, teach class

By Dominic Tortorice dominic.tortorice@marquette.edu

It’s been a long time since last August, when the Rev. Scott Pilarz was chosen as Marquette’s next president, and though the elapsed time has been a bit greater than expected, his enthusiasm is just as high as when he got the call.

“Usually, a transition process doesn’t last this long,” Pilarz said. “But there’s a great anticipation and excitement, and I cannot wait to finally settle down at Marquette.”

That long transition process will finally come to a head in August, when Pilarz will succeed the Rev. Robert A. Wild as university president. Pilarz said the departing president has been a valuable resource in the process.

A review of the top five news events of the year Walker, Pilarz among the most important stories

By Allison Kruschke allison.kruschke@marquette.edu

With the 2010-’11 school year coming to an end, the Tribune looks back at the major news events that have occurred over the last nine months. From a new president being named, to a local landmark turning out the lights, there were no shortage of stories that captured the collective attention of campus.

After 15 years, Marquette University President the Rev. Robert A. Wild will retire at the end of the 2010-’11 school year. His time as president was celebrated by several events, including Father Wild Night at the Bradley Center and the last Father Wild forum.

In September, the university announced that Wild would be succeeded by the Rev. Scott Pilarz, former president of Scranton University in Pennsylvania.

“This is a very humbling experience for me,” Pilarz told a crowd of administrators, students and local media in the Alumni Memorial Union after he was announced as the new president. “I have much that I need to hear from you: your hopes, your dreams, your aspirations for this

amazing institution.”

Pilarz will take over for Father Wild in August after an eight-year tenure at Scranton. He has been in close contact with Wild as well as other administration and Marquette Student Government as the new school year approaches.

“I like everything I see (in Pilarz),” Father Wild said after the announcement. “He’ll be a great one.”

Fighting sexual assault

Thursday, May 5, 2011

DPS Reports May 2 At 12:34 p.m., an employee reported that on Sunday at 10:15 p.m., an unknown subject attempted to use a fraudulent prescription slip from a clinic in the 1800 block of West Wisconsin Avenue. The Milwaukee Police Department was contacted.

A new sexual assault awareness group highlights its views in front of Raynor library to passing students.

Take Back the Night raises awareness for violence vs. women

By Zach Buchheit zachary.buchheit@marquette.edu

Various slogans, including “‘Facebook official’ does not mean consent,” were plastered across handmade signs hoisted up by participants during Monday afternoon’s “It’s Time” demonstration outside Raynor Library, an event intended to raise students’ awareness of sexual violence.

“It’s Time” is the name being used by a small, independent group of students, faculty and alumni hoping to facilitate campus-wide discussion about sexual violence and push the university to make improvements on how it handles the issue.

Dana Dumbacher, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences and one of the group’s student coordinators, said the demonstrators turned the heads of many passing students and also got a lot of looks. She said sexual violence is an issue too often ignored on college campuses. “(Sexual violence) is so stereotyped right now,” she said. “It’s not a conversation.”

Using Facebook to spread the word, the group’s student coordinators also planned a vigil Wednesday night to honor victims and sent a formal letter to administrators outlining specific policy changes they would like to see enacted.

Due to time constraints, the organizers used “It’s Time” only as a temporary, unofficial name to headline this week’s events, Dumbacher said. Looking forward, the

group has begun the process to be approved by the Office of Student Development and officially recognized as a student organization under a permanent name, Take Back The Night.

Take Back The Night is an international organization that assists college groups in their efforts to take a stand against sexual violence.

Dumbacher said she expects the Marquette chapter to be fully functional by spring 2012.

Dumbacher started thinking about forming a student-led sexual violence awareness group when sexual assault allegations on campus began to surface. Though advocacy groups like VOICE and HAVEN exist within administrative branches, she said she and her cohorts believe there is a greater need for peer education and discussion.

Therese Bermingham, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, has also played an integral role in forming the student group and plans to lead it next year.

“It is important that the group will be student-led because this is, in fact, a student issue,” she said in an e-mail. “It’s time for students to actively get involved in changing the climate of sexual violence.”

The formal letter the group sent to administration mentions the creation of a Gender Resource Center, which has already been approved, where students can engage in peer education on not only LGBT issues, but also sexual violence. “(The Gender Resource Center) should include enough funding to employ a qualified director with enough resources for that director to hire qualified experts in several fields, including LGBTQ issues, especially sexual assault,” the letter said.

Amelia Zurcher, an associate English professor and coordinator for the Women’s Studies Program, is a strong advocate for the center and thinks it can be a place for students to have calm, comfortable discussions about these issues.

“Students want to talk about the hook-up culture,” she said. “It’s part of their reality.”

The letter was sent to Chris Miller, vice president for Student Affairs; Provost John Pauly; Stephanie Quade, dean of students; Jeanne Hossenlopp, vice provost for research; Stephanie Russell, vice president for the Office of Mission and Ministry; the board of trustees; and several college deans. Thirty students, alumni and faculty members signed it.

Among other things, the letter calls to reform parts of the student handbook that may discourage reporting sexual violence, such as unclear definitions of sexual misconduct and an opening statement that says Marquette, as a Catholic, Jesuit university, expects that sexual union will take place within the context of marriage.

In its conclusion, the letter calls for making resources and information more public and available so students are better equipped to deal with sexual violence.

Bermingham doesn’t see the issue of sexual violence vanishing from campus anytime soon and thinks a group like Take Back the Night will always be necessary.

“It can be a reminder that the problem does exist, and it can work to make a difference across campus by bringing awareness, resources and support,” she said. “Most importantly, it can do this through the core of the university itself: the students.”

Studio 013 Refugees bring the laughs Fugees to hold final show this week at Marquette Hall

By Olivia Morrissey olivia.morrissey@marquette.edu

You bros are in a TJ Maxx.

Dunk Contest. One, Two Kazoo!

No, these are not just random phrases brought on by a studying delirium. They are show titles of Marquette’s only improv comedy troupe, the Studio 013 Refugees, who will be performing their final show of the semester Friday night at 8 p.m. in Marquette Hall 200.

The last show, entitled “Dinprov,” promises to be an entertaining experience, said “Fugee” member Andrew Pauly, a junior in the College of Communication.

“This is the only performance where audience members choose what games the Fugees play,” Pauly said.

Audience members will be given a dinner menu with a selection of improv games for each “course.”

Joe Donahue, a freshman in the College of Arts & Sciences, and one of four “Newgee” members of the group, said it is not exaggeration that the Fugees are a special brand of comedy.

“The Fugees are the most intelligent, attractive, heroic, ballsy, individual, and humble Marquette students,” Donahue said.

“Seriously, it takes a person with an extremely active mind to do quality improv.”

The members of the group have diverse backgrounds in comedy.

Some, like Donahue, had no prior improv experience before joining the Fugees. Others took classes at ComedySportz or Second City.

Still others, like Pauly, practiced improv in high school.

“I loved performing comedically, and the improvisational format was my strength,” Pauly said. “I wanted to continue my work throughout my college career, and the Fugees have been a wonderful place to do it.”

But what they all have in common is their boundless imaginations. For example, during their improv sessions, they have created medieval kings that can travel

just the sketches clean enough for print.

“I think that this surreal humor characterizes the Fugees,” Donahue said.

Students who attended the shows agreed, and found the group hilariously entertaining.

“It was so fun, and a nice break from studying,” said Gina Zukoski, a freshman in the College of Health Sciences.“You can really tell that they are enjoying what they are doing.”

The Fugees consider themselves a tight-knit family that can lean on each other on and off stage.

“There is no competition, just a real family,” said John Gallagher, a senior in the College of Communication and one of the graduating Fugees. “Our bond is

evidenced in our performances.”

Each year’s group leaves a tradition with the Fugees that remains for years to come. The five passing the torch onto the next generation are graduating seniors Gallagher, Jimmy Barrett, Owen O’Riordan, Eleni Sauvageau and Joe Gianni.

This year, Gallagher said, the stamp will be in the strength of their relationships more than comedic elements.

“I’m really going to miss not just the comedy, but some of my best friends,” Gallagher said.

Pauly said he loves them all and will miss them dearly.

“They are excellent performers and will bring light and laughter wherever their careers take them,” he said.

Highway 41 could become interstate

Wide field of Republican hopefuls

Gov. Scott Walker asks FTA approval for major project

By Andrew Phillips andrew.phillips@marquette.edu

Donald Trump speaks to a crowd of 600 people during a gathering of Republican women’s groups last week.

By Brooke Goodman brooke.goodman@marquette.edu

If Donald Trump’s hair isn’t enough to distinguish him from the rest of the 2012 GOP presidential field, his approach to campaigning certainly is.

Many news sources deemed the NBC reality show host a joke after he called himself President Barack Obama’s “worst nightmare” and spent the entire month of April requesting to see a birth certificate rather than speaking on his own political views.

Although Trump has been in the media more as of late, he’s not the only possible presidential candidate making a splash during this “exploratory period.”

With the next presidential election on Nov. 6, 2012, numerous political figures have come out as declared or potential candidates.

Obama will almost certainly be the Democratic candidate. Although he announced his campaign in April, aides to the president have said he will not truly focus on campaigning until a Republican contender emerges from next spring’s primaries.

During his first presidential run in 2008, the Obama campaign raised roughly $750 million from donors.

That amount was more than any of

his opponents.

When announcing his 2012 campaign, Obama said his goal was to raise more money than he did in 2008 — $1 billion, a record-breaking amount.

He also said the most important aspect of campaigning began with the people, not the media.

The GOP prospects are not as set in stone as the Democratic field.

Other than Trump, there are six major contenders who have admitted to considering runs or formed exploratory committees — Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann.

In the most recent Politico.com GOP primary poll on April 22, Trump and Huckabee lead with 16 percent each. Romney follows with 13 percent and Sarah Palin is fourth with 10 percent. Gingrich, Paul and Bachmann trail with single digits.

Hair jokes and birth certificates aside, Trump’s arguments have focused mostly on trade, China and oil dependency. He has also shown an opposition to increasing the nation’s debt limit.

“I wouldn’t raise it,” he said in an interview with The Huffington Post. “You’re going to have to make a (political) deal someplace ... you might as well do it right now. I’d do it right now, I’d stop it right now.”

Mike Huckabee, former governor of Arkansas, is a strong opponent of gay marriage and gun control.

In a February interview with ABC News, he said the campaign process is “grueling” and that he will an-

nounce his campaign this summer.

Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts, announced his exploration in April. In a campaign video, he named unemployment as one of the biggest issues facing the nation today. He also said the Obama administration’s policies have failed, and America is on a dangerous course due to Washington politicians.

Possibly one of the most controversial candidates, Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska, launched an exploratory website last month.

Wednesday, Palin accused Obama of “pussy-footing” in his decision not to release a photo of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden post-death.

Questions surrounding who will run and be elected are not solely hot topics for the media, but also for some students.

Lindsay Swanson, junior in the College of Education, said she is skeptical about the potential GOP field right now, but might be surprised once actual campaigning begins.

Regarding who the final two candidates could be on election day, Curtis Taylor, a sophomore in the College of Business Administration, said he thinks it will be between Obama and Romney. He also said the recent death of Osama bin Laden could place favor on the current president.

“I feel like it’s leverage that Obama can use,” Taylor said. “But I don’t think it’s a lock-up-win-it kind of thing.”

Trump, Huckabee among those vying for GOP nomination

On Tuesday, Gov. Scott Walker announced plans to try to turn state Highway 41 from Milwaukee to Green Bay into a new interstate.

The upgrade would need a green light from the Federal Highway Authority, which would also determine the number of the new highway.

Until then, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation would begin work on upgrading the 142-mile section to interstate standards, at an estimated cost of $15 million to $20 million. The improvements would involve installing cable guardrails along some mediums and widening shoulders.

The new highway would run from Milwaukee’s Mitchell Interchange on I-94 to where Highway 41 connects with I-43 in Green Bay. The state hopes to have interstate signs up on the highway in 2015.

Upgrading Highway 41 would provide economic benefits to the state, Walker said in a press release.

“US 41 connects crucial regions of Wisconsin with economic impacts that benefit local, state and regional economies,” Walker said. “Converting the corridor to an Interstate highway will provide enhanced safety, mobility and economic development potential.”

Plans for the upgrade have been in the works at the Department of Transportation since 2005, when U.S. Rep. Tom Petri (R-Fond du Lac) added a provision to a transportation bill designating the segment as an interstate once federal requirements were met. Petri represents much

of the area the highway runs through.

“The Milwaukee to Green Bay corridor and the Fox Valley are major centers for economic growth and employment in Wisconsin, and the entire area deserves the infrastructure necessary to support the businesses there,” Petri said in Walker’s release.

Environmental group 1,000 Friends of Wisconsin criticized the plans in a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article, saying the widened shoulders could be costly.

Walker’s move allows for the completion of the required Environmental Impact Statement, which will take several years. The study process for the statement allows the public to share views on the project.

At a time when budget cuts are the primary focus in light of government deficits, the project is a necessary investment, said Richard Robinson, an associate professor of marketing.

“Clearly, in this era of budget cuts, transportation warrants our attention as a top priority in a state that depends so heavily on tourism and ‘through-travel,’” Robinson said in an e-mail. “This project provides employment and other economic value added to a state sorely in need of positive steps.”

Expansion and reconstruction efforts on sections of US 41 in Winnebago and Brown counties are already underway, and are scheduled to continue into 2017.

Walker’s release said the project is an investment of about $1.5 billion in Wisconsin’s transportation system. The new highway will be Wisconsin’s first interstate since 1996, when Highway 51 between Portage and Wausau was upgraded to I-39.

But the interstate designation may not mean all that much, said James Crovetti, an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering and director of the Transportation Research Center. Crovetti said US 41 already meets many of the standards for an interstate.

“It will give a more efficient flow of people and goods, less interruptions,” Crovetti said. But it’s essentially at an interstate level of service (already).”

The proposal sent protesters flocking to the capital and state democratic legislators fleeing to Illinois to avoid a vote.

Marquette Men’s basketball guard Vander Blue was also cited on an assault and battery charge for an incident that occurred Oct. 24. Blue, a freshman in the College of Communication, pleaded not guilty when he appeared in court on April 18.

The release time of the allegations received some controversy because of how they coincided with the end of basketball season.

Gerald Boyle, Blue’s defense attorney, said that the delay between court proceedings and the incident had nothing to do with basketball season.

This March, several allegations against Marquette University student athletes came to light regarding two sexual assaults as well as a battery charge.

The first sexual assault allegedly occurred on Oct. 30 and involved a female student and four student athletes in Humphrey Hall, according to a DPS crime report. The student contacted the Department of Public Safety but declined involvement from the Milwaukee Police Department. A new report was filed with MPD in March.

“From the beginning, MPD was always an option for her,” said Russell Shaw, associate director for DPS. “We never denied her that.”

The more recent case allegedly occurred on Feb. 27 and involved a female student and an acquain-

As a part of Marquette’s continued efforts to be inclusive to the LGBT community, the university extended its domestic partner benefits to include all legally domiciled adults, including samesex couples.

The move received statewide attention, and angered some who thought that the university was not upholding Catholic ideals.

University President the Rev. Robert A. Wild said the decision was based upon Marquette’s tradition and adherence to Jesuit principles.

“If we are truly pastoral in our application of the Jesuit principle of cura personalis, I asked myself if I could reconcile that with denying health benefits to a couple who have legally registered their

Angelo’s serves up its last slice

Marquette landmark Angelo’s Pizza closed this fall, to the dismay of many students and members of the Marquette community.

The closing was brought on when Marquette acquired the property early in the school year.

Owner Mike Albano and Marquette reached a buyout settlement, according to Tim Olsen, communication manager in the

The sale came about because of Albano’s plans to retire, Olsen said. A source who worked at Angelo’s also said the owner had medical bills to pay. Albano died a few months later.

Many students, particularly upperclassmen, were disappointed at the closing of the Marquette tradition and campus hot spot.

“It’ll be a shock to see it go,” said Erin Fitzgerald, a sophomore in the College of Nursing, in the Oct. 12 Marquette Tribune report on the closing. “It had a great atmosphere to it.”

Recently, however, when rumors have begun circulating about the reopening of the establishment sometime next year.

The university has yet to confirm whether or not this is true.

Pilarz also hopes to bring a lighter side to his duties as

president. For instance, he said he hopes to continue his current practice of living in a residence hall and teaching one class a semester.

“I want to be as accessible to the students as possible,” Pilarz said.

“And I hope they will be accessible to me as well, be it a quick ‘Hello’ or anything else. As for teaching, probably not the first semester here, but that’s something I definitely hope to continue.”

Wild will stay on until late summer due to a Jesuit retreat Pilarz plans on taking part in. But when he arrives on campus as the new president, he’s got one thing on his mind.

“Listening,” Pilarz said. “And listening to all the constituents on campus. In order to get to know Marquette better, I’ve got to know the people who make it up.

Meal site location looking for donations Midnight Run hopes to raise funds for Noon Run group

By Kelsey Massey kelsey.massey@marquette.edu

An almost completely studentfunded service organization has been helping to serve the Milwaukee community since 1988.

Midnight Run, a volunteer service program which runs out of Campus Ministry, is currently looking to Marquette residence halls, sororities and fraternities to fund a day at the Noon Run, Marquette’s very own meal site located on 19th Street and Wisconsin Avenue, where they serve soup, sandwiches, dessert and drinks to local homeless people.

Pay-a-Day is one of the many fundraisers that Midnight Run has to help fund the kitchen. It happens once a semester, and usually takes place for two weeks, said Jennifer Mays, the fundraising

co-coordinator for Midnight Run. Student volunteers involved in Midnight Run work at local meal programs and shelters to serve meals and build relationships with the communities hungry and homeless.

Mays, a senior in the College of Business Administration, said that they began contacting residence halls and Greek organizations after Spring Break to see if they would be interested in sponsoring Noon Run for a day.

She said any dorm floor in a residence hall or sorority that sponsors a day is welcome to come to the site and see how it works.

Gerry Fischer, assistant director of Campus Ministry, said that Pay-a-Day is the newest form of fundraising that Midnight Run has come up with, but it is not the only fundraising they do.

“It costs about $6,000 to fund Noon Run for the year,” he said.

That $6,000 breaks down into $40 a day for 150 days. Noon Run serves the public Sunday through Thursday whenever school is in session.

“Pay-a-Day works to get support from different people and groups on campus,” Fischer said.

“It is not a huge investment, but it does help to alleviate some of the stress for students doing the fundraising.”

Along with Pay-a-Day, he said Midnight Run gets a majority of its funding from their Mile for Meals Run/Walk, which is held annually over Family Weekend.

“We reach a little under half our $6,000 budget every year (at the Run/Walk),” he said.

Pay-a-Day works along with other fundraisers they have like Meals at Midnight, which sells hot dogs and nachos at the corner of 16th and Wells Street from Midnight to 3 a.m. Fischer also send they receive donations from alumni and faculty which really help out.

Jamie Burns, a junior in the College of Health Sciences who is a volunteer for Noon Run, said it is important to continue fundraising for the organization because Noon Run is important part of establishing a community

bond with the underserved people of Milwaukee and create lasting relationships.

“They expect us to be there every day, to give them food, hospitality and friendship,” she said.

“They depend on us.”

Burns said volunteering with Noon Run has been one of the

most rewarding experiences she has had at Marquette.

“It has given me a new definition of what homelessness is and what being poor is,” she said. “It has helped me to view different people that I do not know in a new light.”

Milwaukee’s life is a maze. very own desert it is full of USDA declares area has lack of healthy food, grocery stores

By Pat Simonaitis patrick.simonaitis@marquette.edu

Little did you know, Marquette is surrounded by a desert. No, there are no camels or sand. It’s far too chilly for that.

Rather, the United States Department of Agriculture says the neighborhoods located north and west of campus are food deserts.

Defined by the department as a low-income area with limited access to grocery stores or supermarkets, the food desert runs from North 12th Street on the east all the way to North 39th Street on the west. The defined northern border runs along Juneau Avenue before extending to West Vilet Street. The southern border starts at Wisconsin Avenue and 12th Street before stretching southwest down to the Menomonee River.

The residents of such areas have decreased access to healthy food, which leads to increased rates of health problems in those areas.

The USDA released a national food desert map and accompanying data on Monday, said spokesman Vince Breneman.

In order to be considered a food desert, an area must have a poverty rate of 20 percent or higher, or a median family income at or below 80 percent of the area’s median family income, according to the USDA website. Areas are categorized by census tracts populated by 1,000 to 8,000 people.

Further, the region must also have 500 people, or one-third of the population, located more than one mile from a supermarket or large grocery store.

The data the USDA used is based on a 2009 Economic Research Service survey. The USDA’s information on grocery stores is from 2006.

The ERS survey, titled “Access to Affordable and Nutritious

Food: Measuring and Understanding Food Deserts and Their Consequences,” was presented before Congress in 2009. The report features a comprehensive look at what causes these food deserts and the effects the lack of healthy food have on the population at large.

The government has recognized the lack of healthy food options as a problem spanning back two decades, ERS economist and USDA spokesperson Michele Ver Ploeg said.

“Two large elephants in the room (spurred the recent research),” Ver Ploeg said, “Diabetes and obesity.”

In the past, she said, researchers looked at both education and income as factors leading to the two maladies. Now, however, the focus is more location-based and environmental.

Ver Ploeg said the commitment by first lady Michelle Obama to improve the nation’s health also gave the research a big boost.

Obama’s “Let’s Move” initiative, which is aimed at ending childhood obesity, resulted in the inclusion of the “Healthy Food Financing Initiative” within the 2012 U.S. budget.

This initiative would provide resources for troubled areas to gain access to supermarkets or grocery stores and in turn healthier food, Ver Ploeg said.

She said the initiative will take time to have an effect, but there are several other agencies that have taken up the cause to improve the quality of food within food desert areas.

A variety of grants and programs are planned to be offered in the near future ranging from making improvements to existing corner stores to improving means of transportation to get to healthier food sources, she said.

There will also be larger grocers or supermarkets popping up in some desert areas.

So does that mean there will be a Jewel Osco on the Marquette campus in the near future?

“No, probably not,” Breneman said.

Rummler inspires students to greatness Teacher and former reporter a legend in the journalism field

By Andrea Anderson andrea.anderson@marquette.edu

Photo by Brittany McGrail/brittany.mcgrail@marquette.edu

Campus character Gary Rummler was a fixture at The Milwaukee Journal before coming to teach in the journalism department at Marquette.

Have you ever had a professor who you loved? Who you just jumped out of that lovely, comfy, warm bed and dashed to that 8 a.m. for?

Do you want to give a shout out to them before the school year comes to an end?

Well, you’re in luck because this week is National Teacher Appreciation Week, and some students might consider giving a shout out to professor Gary Rummler.

Rummler, an journalism professor at Marquette since the fall of 2002, has been a lifelong journalist and someone who is loved by many students.

He’s back this spring along with “two or three others” following a semester hiatus. He said this was not of his own doing but due to budget cuts.

Rummler began his journalism career during high school where he wrote basketball reports for the local paper. After being one of five winners in a statewide sports writing competition, he knew reporting was his future.

“The competition made me realize that writing was what I was good at and something I enjoyed, so I pursued the career at Brigham Young University,” Rummler said.

While in college, Rummler wrote press releases for the news bureau at BYU. “The school paper didn’t pay — this did,” Rummler said.

Goodbye Fr. Wild, hello Fr. Pilarz

Since his arrival on June 17, 1996, University President the Rev. Robert A. Wild has witnessed and played a role in many pivotal moments in Marquette’s history, from expanding the university’s infrastructure and joining the Big East Conference, to the infamous — albeit short-lived — name change to ‘The Gold.’

People have come to see him as the institution’s leader and source of inspiration.

However, last March, Wild announced his retirement as president at the end of this year. And while this marks the end of an era, we welcome his successor, the Rev. Scott R. Pilarz, with open arms.

But Wild is a tough act for Pilarz to follow, leaving behind an impressive legacy and a lasting impression on students, faculty and staff.

During his tenure as president, Wild has accomplished great things for the university. Prior to his arrival, the university had a $6 million budget deficit. Wild not only erased the university’s debt, but has also created a surplus, enabling further expansion and advancement for the university.

And Wild’s fundraising ability is nothing short of impressive. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Wild raised $357 million for the university in 2005 — the largest campaign earnings in university history — and raised an overall $725 million during his time as president.

Thanks to Wild’s successful fundraising campaign history, Marquette was able to build instrumental facilities on campus, such as the large addition to Raynor Memorial Library, a new dental school and the Al McGuire Center. These funds are also used for a significant portion of scholarship money granted to students.

These additions and improvements increased the university’s profile nationally, increasing enrollment dramatically and boosting Marquette’s image and notoriety.

However, Wild’s notable strides

The Marquette Tribune

Editorial Board:

in restoring the university’s stature is not the only thing that comprises his lasting legacy.

Many students see Wild as an inspirational spiritual leader.

Wild made connecting with students personally a priority. Every month, Wild holds monthly luncheons with interested students.

Regularly taking time out of his busy schedule to meet students is something to be recognized.

Wild also was instrumental in creating the university’s current mission statement, which defines Marquette’s ideology. His efforts as a spiritual leader have ensured this Catholic, Jesuit university remains solidified in religious foundation.

But Wild’s tenure at Marquette was not without controversy.

Within the last two years, Wild faced two incidents that gained national attention.

Recently, allegations surfaced regarding his prior position with the Chicago Jesuits of neglecting evidence of a clergy committing sexual abuse.

Wild was also caught in the crossfire of the Jodi O’Brien scandal last year.

Even though these controversies occurred, it should not tarnish Wild’s reputation as an influential part of Marquette history. Wild’s positive impact on the university far outweighs the accusations against him. In the end, Wild should be remembered as one of the university’s most transformational leaders.

Pilarz, you have some big shoes to fill. But you are also entering a university that offers you a lot to work with and is in a far better state than when your predecessor took office.

Also, know that you are bound to make mistakes, but keep in mind that the positive impact you have on students, faculty and staff will leave a lasting mark on the university.

And most importantly, know that if the board of trustees selected you to follow after a president like Wild, they must think pretty highly of you.

From the shockingly high divorce rate to mobile phone contracts that keep getting shorter and shorter so you can get a new phone to the creation of a new iPod once a year, it’s no shocker that in about two weeks people will be off their “American high.” Yes, we’ll celebrate May 1 every year, and the news will remind us of what we apparently cared so much about.

Bin Laden was pronounced dead on Sunday evening.

What we’re doing on

While many of you might be heading out of the city this summer, the luckier minority of you will still be here in Milwaukee. For you chosen few, we’re finishing the year with a taste of what our beloved Cream City has to offer in the upcoming months. Here’s what we’re doing with our time off. Will we see you there?

Getting a glimpse of ancient China …

By Sarah Elms sarah.elms@marquette.edu

This summer you can travel across the globe without even leaving Milwaukee.

No plane ticket or passport is necessary, just 12 bucks and your student ID. The Milwaukee Art Museum will open “The Emperor’s Private Paradise: Treasures from the Forbidden City” June 11, as the first in a series of five exhibitions on Chinese art coming to the museum this summer. The exhibition is a rare look into three thousand years of China’s history through art, showcasing murals, paintings, furniture, architecture, jades and metalwork.

According to the museum’s website, “The Emperor’s Private Paradise” is especially significant as the Milwaukee Art Museum is one of only three museums in the world to display the exhibit. It includes over 90 objects from the Qianlong Garden in Beijing that are wrapped in history and have never before been seen by the public.

The items in the Qianlong Garden have remained unaltered since the end of the Qianlong Emperor’s reign in 1795, and the garden was abandoned in 1924 after the last emperor, PuYi, left the Forbidden City (the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming to the Qing Dynasty where the Qianlong Garden is located). In 2001, the Palace Museum, now housed in the Forbidden City, and the World Monuments

Catching some killer shows …

By Annie Bolger anne.bolger@marquette.edu

This summer there’s a swarm of artists coming to the Milwaukee area, which you can divide into two categories: bargains and splurges.

The bargains are our personal faves.

You’ll be able to catch a handful of headliner bands this summer for under $40 — music to our wallets’ ears.

The first to make a stop in Milwaukee is Bruno Mars who will be playing at The Rave along with Janelle Monae May 24.

Whether you want to have a “Lazy Day” with him or just want to swoon as he serenades you with “Just the Way You Are,” he’s one to check out.

Other artists making their way to The Rave are Arctic Monkeys on May 27, The

“Seven Sages in a Bamboo Forest” (above), and the other works in “The Emperor’s Private Paradise” have never been seen by the public.

Fund in New York began the restoration of the garden’s 27 buildings and pavilions.

Once the exhibition leaves the museum and travels back to its native country, the website said, it is likely to never leave China again.

The museum will have a special MAM

After Dark event in celebration of a summer dedicated to Chinese art on June 10.

This event provides the opportunity to explore the exhibition in a more casual setting with curator-led tours before its official opening the next day.

“The Emperor’s Private Paradise: Treasures from the Forbidden City” will

be on display from June 11 to September 11. The Milwaukee Art Museum is open Tuesday-Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Thursday until 8 p.m. It is closed Monday. Admission is $12 for students with an ID, seniors and active military members and is $14 for adults.

Maine with Augustana June 5 and Forever the Sickest Kids on June 30. And the venue is close to campus, so why not check these out?

If you’re willing to pay big ticket prices, some powerhouse artists are hitting up the Bradley Center this summer.

For those who love jazz, or at least the modern-day Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble will show you “How Sweet It Is” to join him in concert when he comes to Milwaukee on June 5.

Taylor Swift will bring some country up to the north when she arrives on June 8, and Josh Groban will make a pit stop on his “Straight to You Tour” when he visits on August 9. The ticket prices are high, but these performances might just be worth it.

So whether you’re a saver or a spender, this summer, Milwaukee will have a concert ready for you at the price you love.

Summerfest may be known as the “big gig,” but it’s not the only summer music festival worth checking out in Milwaukee this summer.

On Saturday, Aug. 6, Summer Sizzle, the Third Ward’s annual outdoor jazz festival, will offer much of the same as Summerfest: live music on multiple stages, specialty vendors and food. But it’ll also

offer a day-long, intimate, classy setting Summerfest simply can’t, and it’s free of charge.

Organized by the Historic Third Ward Association since 1999, Summer Sizzle features the live jazz sounds of local, regional and Chicago musicians in a variety of styles: traditional, Latin, swing, smooth and Dixieland.

Though this summer’s entertainment lineup isn’t yet released, it’s sure to be as sizzling as it promises based on previous featured musicians, including Kevin Eubanks, T.S. Monk, Terence Blanchard,

Thanks for reading!

See you next year!

Steve Cole and others.

Along with the festival itself, usually spanning across North Broadway Street, Summer Sizzle also features an outdoor marketplace with shopping, food and beverages, and boasts a brass band parade.

Dozens of vendors offer everything from fair trade gifts and handcrafted drums to jewelry, clothing and home decor.

The goal of the festival, according to a previous statement made by the Historic Third Ward Association, is to generate awareness of the Third Ward neighborhood — not to raise a profit for the

association. The group relies completely on local sponsors to make Summer Sizzle possible. This year’s sponsors include WUWM Milwaukee Public Radio 89.7, Miller Lite, Milwaukee Public Market, Spin Milwaukee and the Art Institute of Milwaukee, among others.

It may not be the biggest gig of the summer, but Summer Sizzle in the Third Ward promises to be one of the cozier, more tasteful downtown festivals for jazz music-lovers to relax at this August.

Don’t you forget about these neglected gems This year’s person, place and thing

Neglect is a funny thing. When it’s at its greatest, it’s at its most invisible, and it takes a jolt to finally notice what you’ve been missing.

The person, place(s) and thing below are among Marquette and Milwaukee’s diamonds in the rough. From a new employee who’s worked behind the scenes to bring campus some of the year’s best events, to a pair of theaters just off campus that can be the epitome of “out of sight, out of mind,” to a student organization that can be occasionally overshadowed, these three deserve some props, and maybe a bit more of your attention once next year rolls around.

Dave Stockton, OSD coordinator for campus programs

By Sarah Elms sarah.elms@marquette.edu

Here at Marquee we try and push our readers to get out into the city and take advantage of all the entertainment options in Milwaukee, but this year showed us there are plenty of events taking place right on campus worth sticking around for.

We welcomed comedian Danny Pudi and singer/songwriter Sara Bareilles to campus, roller-skated at ’80s Night at the Union Sports Annex and danced the night away at Snow Ball. And those are just some highlights.

But none of this could have happened without the hard work of the students who work on committees like Late Night and Marquette Student Government’s Program Board, and their dedicated adviser, Dave Stockton.

Stockton works in the Office of Student Development as the coordinator for campus programs. He coordinates Late Night programming on campus, advises MUSG Program Board, works closely with developing Winter Flurry and oversees commuter student programs. Stockton is involved in events like June’s Preview for incoming students and orientation, and has a hand in student conduct

as well.

If you walk into the OSD offices and hear a man with a British accent passionately talking about a spoken word artist or a zombiethemed Halloween, you’ve found who we’re talking about. While this is only his first year at Marquette, the Manchester, England native has hit the ground running, already brainstorming a wide range of events for next year.

Stockton said most of the events he coordinates are multifaceted, so if he is bringing in an a cappella group, there might be karaoke, games and food involved as well.

He can’t wait for what is in store for next year, and said the Late Night programs especially will be bigger and better than before, hopefully breaking the mold a bit.

Stockton is also looking forward to starting next year from scratch.

Since he has only been in his position for a year, some of the events this year were coordinated by the previous individual in his position.

“The ability to look at a completely blank slate for the year and build it from scratch is exciting,” Stockton said. “My goal is always for programs to be student-run, so there is almost always a great deal of student involvement and achievement at the heart of our programs.”

Oriental and Downer Theaters

By Matt Mueller matthew.mueller@marquette.edu

Last summer’s blockbuster “Inception” proved two things. For one, it demonstrated that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is an extremely attractive man. Most importantly, however, it showed that audiences, even in the summer, want entertaining movies with a brain.

While they may not be able to promise any JGL, the East Side’s Oriental and Downer Theatres, both owned by Landmark Theatres, can certainly deliver when it comes to intelligent movies in a completely unique atmosphere.

The Oriental Theatre, 2230 N. Farwell Ave., which opened in 1927 and has remained relatively unchanged since, was named one of the best theaters in the nation by

Entertainment Weekly in 2005 and has continued to uphold that reputation by showing exclusive independent and foreign films, as well as cult classics. One of the main draws, is their monthly midnight showing of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” which brings in all varieties of crazily dressed moviegoers every second Saturday of the month.

If you don’t have a desire to show off your finest drag queen outfit, the Oriental and Downer, 2589 N. Downer Ave., still have plenty of film options this summer to satisfy every film fan.

According to Oriental Theater manager Eric Levin, the theaters are expected to get “The Greatest Movie Ever Sold,” the latest documentary from “Super Size Me” director/star Morgan Spurlock, as well as “The Beaver,” which features Mel Gibson in his first on-screen role since his infamous phone outburst last July.

The Oriental and Downer also intend on showing some highly anticipated blockbusters.

“There has been some talk of getting ‘Super 8,’” Levin stated.

“It isn’t really something we can plan too far ahead for though.”

“Super 8,” the latest film from Lost creator J.J. Abrams, is not the only big movie event the theaters plan to get for audiences. “The Tree of Life,” an epic Brad Pitt/ Sean Penn family drama which has been in development for several decades, is expected to get an exclusive release at the Oriental on June 17.

These exciting new summer movies, plus the unique setting and a student discount, make the Oriental and Downer theaters ideal places to cool off this summer.

MUPS

By Annie Bolger anne.bolger@marquette.edu

The Marquette University Players Society may have closed out their stellar season last month, but they are already looking ahead to next year.

The student-run organization, founded in 1925, was created at a time before Marquette even had a theater major, and was designed

to give theater-oriented students a way to express themselves, according to a Nov. 19, 2009 story in the Marquette Tribune.

While there may now be a major for theater students at Marquette, MUPS still offers a niche for students who aren’t a part of the major, or who are but want to be involved in more shows than possible on the mainstage.

According to MUPS President Andrea Schoening, a junior in the College of Communication, MUPS gives you the best of both worlds when it comes to theater at Marquette.

“What’s great about MUPS is that you can do theater without giving your life to the Department of Performing Arts,” Schoening said. “You can basically do any show you want in any way you want.”

Schoening said MUPS put on three productions this season: “Boy Gets Girl,” a story by Rebecca Gilman about a woman dealing with a stalker; “Three Tall Women,” by Edward Albee, that

follows a woman looking back on her life; and “Richie Vs. The Monster,” which deals with a boy and the monster that lurks under his bed and was written by Harry Loeffler-Bell, a senior in the College of Communication.

Next year, Schoening said, MUPS plans to take it to the next level, retooling their e-board to feature an artistic director, company manager, technical director and positions in public relations.

The goal is to make the organization more like professional theater companies, and less like working on shows in an academic setting.

“MUPS intends to completely switch up the way we are running,” Schoening said.

The switch seems destined to improve MUPS’ fortunes, but to what extent won’t be knowable until they return in the fall — although it’s surely bound to be worth the wait.

Thursday, May 5, 2011 COLUMN

Dare I say good night and good luck, MU? The only thing harder than deciding whether or not to write an end-of-the-year goodbye column is figuring out how to open an end-of-the-year Matthew goodbye colReddin umn.

Oh, I guess that’ll work.

After I got hired as Marquee editor last year, I spent a lot of time thinking about the columns I’d write once the school year picked up. There were a few I knew I wanted to write going in, like my call to attend “The Laramie Project” and my incredibly conceited 21st birthday pat-on-the-back.

But the one I’d managed to put off thinking about was this one.

The last column.

I specifically ignored it because I didn’t know what to do with it.

I’m not graduating, so a sappy goodbye didn’t seem appropriate.

But while I didn’t know exactly where I’d end up next year onstaff, I knew I probably wasn’t going to stay with the column for a second year, and just writing a final column without acknowledging that fact seemed just as strange.

So I turned to my predecessors in the opinionated arts, the Viewpoints and Marquee columnists of yesteryear, to see what route they took. I’d have checked up on Sports too, but let’s be honest: It’s the week before finals, and I had to draw the line somewhere.

I started with my closest analog, last year’s Marquee editor/columnist Molly Gamble. She wrote a goodbye column last year, but it was a lonely goodbye, with her three Viewpoints contemporaries neglecting to do the same.

Looking to more recent writers doesn’t suggest a goodbye column is in vogue now either.

Paco Nava stepped down without fanfare, although he did write a retrospective column the week before, and Aloysia Power wrote a column about leaving Marquette that somehow wasn’t quite a goodbye.

2009, though, was a good year for goodbyes. Two columnists wrote honest-to-goodness farewell columns, and Jim McLaughlin, the only other Tribber I know to make the jump from editorial

commentary to editorial chieftainship in recent years, wrote a column where he said he wasn’t going to get sappy, and then did at the end anyway.

I thought about going further back, to columnists I didn’t know, or even daring to venture into sports opinion territory, but that didn’t seem likely to benefit me much. There was no definitive answer in sight; I was going to have to just take what I’d learned from those who came before and figure out what to do on my own.

And then this thought flashed through my mind: “Hey, that’s sort of a cool life lesson you might want to keep in mind, kiddo.”

Yes, I do think in complete sentences and refer to myself in condescending third-person. Don’t judge.

I may not be leaving Marquette yet, but when I do, I’ll have to make my own way in life, and since I have no idea how the hell to do that yet, I may as well keep an eye on those who look like they do.

But it’s just as important to remember I can’t always rely on the footsteps ahead to point me in the right direction — we may not be going to the same place.

If you’ve made it this far, you’ve probably noticed two things: I’ve managed to get you to read a Marquee column that has nothing to do with arts and entertainment — which I take as a personal success — and I still haven’t really said whether this is going to be a goodbye column or not.

Well, I’ve thought about it, and I’ve decided that it is. Just not for me. I’ll be back, but this year’s seniors won’t, and they’ll be sorely missed. I’ve told more than a few that I’d be happy if they failed a class and stuck around to help out next year.

That wouldn’t be fair to them though, and it wouldn’t be fair to me either. I’ve learned a lot from my predecessors, and now it’s time for me to take my first steps solo.

And since I feel guilty leaving you without any artsy advice for the summer, read a book or two.

Just don’t wear out those eyes over the summer — you’ll need them to read next year’s awardwinning Marquette Tribune. matthew.reddin@marquette.edu

Charlie Sheen

I do not want to talk about Charlie Sheen very long because it’ll just encourage him. That being said, the fact that Charlie Sheen became America’s most popular celebrity for about two months is a national embarrassment. We understand some of the interest: In a time when people are losing jobs, Sheen was a man who was grabbing his unemployment by the horns and not going quietly.

If he wasn’t such a seemingly unstable and abusive person, it would be almost be noble. Instead, it’s just tragic.

3-D

“Glee”

Move over, Pokemon; there’s a new winner for the most walletdraining fad in history. The glow of “Avatar” has now faded, leaving only the annoying memories of terrible 3-D movies. In most cases, the extra dimension is completely useless, adding little additional excitement to the film, but a lot of extra money to the ticket price.

The worst part is the fact that the gimmick gives studios the idea to okay more sequels and remakes that have no reason to exist. I’m talking to you, “Saw 3D.”

Sorry Gleeks, but the show’s just not the same. When it originally premiered in 2009, the show’s interesting concept and fun vibe created a television experience like none other. However, “Glee” has forced its theme episodes and songs to center stage turning each week’s show into nothing but a commercial for the next album.

Shows such as “Lost” have recovered from rough stretches and reasserted their cultural dominance. Here’s hoping “Glee” can do the same.

OH HOW

SWEET

By Mike Nelson & Erik Schmidt

IT WAS

michael.e.nelson@marquette.edu and erik.schmidt@marquette.edu

How do you quantify greatness?

How do you measure glory? In reality, it’s impossible. But then again, greatness and glory ran rapant this year at Marquette, and as such, they must be rewarded. So here they are, the top plays of the year. Relive the moments that made 2010-2011 a season to remember. ________________________ It had been eight years since Marquette last reached the Sweet 16, and at that time there was this guy named Dwyane Wade on the team.

But after a gritty, tough-as-nails performance against Syracuse in the round of 32 and the timeliest 3-pointer of junior guard Darius

Johnson-Odom’s career, the Golden Eagles returned to the Promised Land to face North Carolina.

The game itself was completely forgettable, as Marquette ran out of magic and got drummed 8163 by the Tar Heels, but the great thing is the game doesn’t matter one bit. It was the journey that got them there.

The underdog squad, led by the passion of coach Buzz Williams and fueled by the tireless efforts of senior forward Jimmy Butler, shell-shocked ranked opponents like Notre Dame and Connecticut all year long. Make no mistake, this was a team short on talent, but what was lacking in sheer ability

was overcome by miles of heart and hustle.

This team didn’t just defy the odds; it obliterated them.

The last few seasons have been, unfortunately, marked by disappointment and underachieving by the heralded Big Three and a vast assortment of supporting talent. This year, it was a team that nobody thought twice about that made a glorious tournament run, reaching the Sweet 16 and reminded everyone why Marquette basketball is so very special.

And it just so happens to be our top moment of the year. It doesn’t get any sweeter than that.

Sports at Marquette can be a bit schizophrenic.

Just when you think you have a handle on what’s going on, things go all Erik Jekyll and Hyde Schmidt and take an unexpected turn.

This year, the script was flipped so fast it nearly took off our fingers. Magical performances came from the most anomalous of places, trophies and ribbons fell from the sky and victories — the most precious of commodities — piled up all around us like Scrooge’s hoarded millions.

For once, it was us with the glory and riches. And, circumstantially, we were left with our necks tied in knots, the price to be paid for all the turns and swerves that befell us. The men’s soccer team went this way, the women’s basketball squad went that way, and so on. All the while, our poor cerebral cortexes were aghast at the prospect of keeping up.

In a year of serendipitous success, perhaps the most concussive blow — keep your head on tight and bear with me here — has been saved for last.

If you flip to the page with the Tribune’s Athlete of the Year, you may be left scratching your head.

It’s true, the face you see does not belong to senior forward Jimmy Butler, or junior guard Darius Johnson-Odom or senior guard Angel Robinson. Or any basketball player for that matter.

Instead, there you’ll find middle hitter Rabeccka Gonyo. She plays volleyball.

I know what you’re thinking.

But despite how preposterous the notion may seem that a volleyball player could ever top anybody on our men’s basketball team that reached the Sweet 16, make no mistake: Gonyo flat-out deserves it.

In fact, and to further add to the absurdness of this season, the two other players who were considered for the Tribune’s highest distinction — senior setter Nikki Klingsporn and junior defender Kerry McBride from the women’s soccer team — aren’t basketball players either.

At a lean, agile 6-foot-4 inches of womanly menace, Gonyo is as majestic as she is powerful. She zips around the court with effortless strides, making up ground on would-be points and airborne balls seemingly instantaneously.

Her long frame, most of it arms and legs, allows her to cover the court with breathtaking ease.

But it’s in the air when Gonyo is at her best.

She leaps with jet-powered magnificence, soaring high above the court and net like some sort of angelic superhero. And it’s there she hangs and waits, immune to gravity.

Then the ball arrives and all hell breaks loose. Her arm catapults forward, wailing the white sphere with malicious intent, sending it bombastically back to earth.

Every athlete dreams of making it to the professional ranks.

That’s the reason they take up the game. For four Marquette athletes, that dream will become a reality.

Senior middle hitter Rabbecka Gonyo and setter Nikki Klingsporn, from the w o m e n ’s volleyball team, each currently reside overseas on club teams. Klingsporn is with VC Wiesbaden in Germany and Gonyo’s with Voley Murcia in Spain. Both players finished their Marquette careers with their names scattered across Marquette’s all-time best lists.

Senior forward Ashley Bares, from the women’s soccer team,

signed with UMF Starjan of the top-division Urvalsdedild in Gardabaer, Iceland. Bares finished her Marquette tenure eighth in career goals with 19.

Senior guard Angel Robinson of the women’s basketball team was drafted into the WNBA on April 11. She was the 22nd overall pick by the New York Liberty and was then traded to the Minnesota Lynx. Robinson finished in the top 12 of eight different statistical categories for the women’s basketball team, including points (sixth with 1,699), games played (first with 134), and assists (third with 570).

Marquette may not be done, as senior forward Jimmy Butler of the men’s basketball team could make it into the NBA come June.

What a sick, twisted journey this thing took us on, huh?

We watched Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh try to kick an extra point, a ball boy in Oakland using his lofty position with the club to get a date, mascot antics and enough groin shots to force us to put our urologist (as recommended by Oakland Raiders receiver Louis Murphy) on speed dial.

Sadly, though, it’s time again to roll up the Sideshow tent for the summer and wait to see if my successor will allow the show to go on. I hope that person will.

Legacies are sweet, even if I was only part of one for a short while.

Besides, someone has to keep the

legend of the “man (or woman) with the diamond tears” alive, right?

If you find yourself moping around during the summer and feeling like something is missing in your life, it’s just the Sideshow.

Not to worry. There is a cure.

You can get sporadic doses of sports witticism through my Twitter account (@Tim_Seeman), which just missed the cut on Time Magazine’s list of the 100 most influential accounts by roughly 14 kazillion votes. Tribune writers can’t get all the accolades, after all.

Anyway, it’s time to say my last goodbye and give my last tidbits of advice: Keep your eye on the ball, always see what you hit and don’t use the touch of death on your sister.

THE MORE THE MIGHTIER One was nice. Two is better.

And the women’s soccer team agreed.

The star-laden team stomped through its Big East schedule with ease, going undefeated in regular season play and earning its second straight American Division Championship.

Eventually, the Golden Eagles’ rampage was slowed in the Big East Championship tournament semifinals by South Florida, and then stopped for good in the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 by No. 11/15 Florida State, but the damage had already been done.

This women’s squad dominated, perhaps, like no other Marquette team in history, and was likewise rewarded with heaps of

conference awards.

Junior Natalie Kulla was named Big East Goalkeeper of the Year and junior defender Kerry McBride was the conference’s top defender, as a total of four players made the All-Big East First Team.

To keep with the theme, coach Markus Roeders received the Big East Coach of the Year Award for the second straight season, a testament to the consistent greatness this team provides year after year.

The accolades, of course, are well and good, but it was the numbers

that came to define women’s soccer in 2010-2011. And it was the numbers that mattered most.

Sixteen total wins, 12 of those coming in the Big East. Forty-six goals, 56 assists, and a smothering defense that sported a 12 percent shots against average. Four All-Big East players, two Players of the Year, and obviously, that incredible second straight title.

Add that up, the only number you get is one.

THE BERTH OF A CONTENDER, AGAIN

04

Tribune File Photo

For the last couple of seasons, this women’s team was supposed to be a national powerhouse.

Much was made — and still is — about the WNIT Championship it won back in 2008 and the success that was supposed to follow. This year, it seemed everyone had basically given up hope on the lady Golden Eagles. Nobody believed anymore.

Well, except for coach Terri Mitchell, who promised this team was “on a mission.” In retrospect, that mission seemed to

be making all the doubters eat their words, as the team, led by the rock-steady play of senior guard Angel Robinson, finished the year ranked No. 25/23 in the country and earned a NCAA Tournament berth.

After a surprisingly stellar season, and a 68-65 first round victory over ninth-seeded Texas, the team ultimately fell 79-70 to Tennessee in the second round. But not before making people believe all over again.

To say the Marquette men’s soccer program has had a rough go of things since coach Louis Bennett took over in 2005 is an understatement. The team turned things around last year by reaching the Big East Championship tournament in 2009 and again in 2010.

This year the Golden Eagles continued to progress as they drew St. John’s in the first round of the Big East tournament. The match was played at St. John’s stadium, and the Red Storm historically were a tough team to beat on their home field.

But that’s exactly what Marquette did in its 2-1 victory, on the back of senior midfielder Calum Mallace’s gamewinning goal in the 79th minute. It was Marquette’s fourth win of the Big East season, the most since Bennett took the reins.

CONSIDER THE BAR RAISED

06

There’s nothing better than a winning streak. You feel on top of the world, everything’s going right and everything comes naturally; nothing’s forced.

Winning streaks happen all the time in team sports. Teams win eight or nine games in a row, no problem.

But when there’s a winning streak in track and field, people take notice.

Junior Lauren Darnall posted a three-meet winning streak in the pole vault to kick off her junior season. She won the first three pole vault events of the season and posted the school’s all-time record jump of 12 feet 8 3/4 inches on Dec. 3. The previous record was 12 feet 1 1/2 inches, which was set by 2010 graduate Carrie Schmid in 2008.

REWRITTEN

Tribune File Photo

Just two years removed from former coach Patti Rolf’s departure from the team with four matches left in the 2008 season, this squad has more than picked itself up off the floor. Year two of the Bond Shymansky tenure can be proclaimed a big success, and he has proven himself the right man for this job.

Marquette posted record wins (23), Big East victories (11) and consecutive matches won (14).

The team (23-9, 11-3 Big East)

placed itself in a position to win a share of the regular season Big East title if it had beaten Cincinnati on Nov. 14. Instead, the Golden Eagles still finished in third place and made it to their second straight Big East Championship tournament semifinal.

The team had three players earn all-conference accolades: senior setter Nikki Klingsporn, senior middle hitter Rabbecka Gonyo and junior outside hitter Ashley Beyer.

When Connecticut came to Valley Fields on Oct. 1, no one expected what was about to occur.

The Huskies entered the match as the No. 3 team in the country and undefeated on the season at 7-0-1 and 1-0 in the Big East. Marquette entered the match 3-3-2 and 1-0 in Big East play. Connecticut had scored 25 goals in its first eight games of the season, while Marquette had only posted six.

The Golden Eagles, statistically speaking, should have been blown out of the water by one of the top teams in the country. But Ryan Robb made sure that didn’t happen.

Down 1-0, the sophomore midfielder came up huge with a shot from 20 yards out, drilling the ball in the back of the net in the 80th minute, unassisted, leading Marquette to a historic 1-1 tie. It was the highest-seeded team Marquette had ever recorded a point against.

DWIGHT YIKES STUNS Gonyo: Senior hitter THE FIGHTING IRISH kills all competition Continued from page 18:

09

It was a game that Marquette needed to win. Apparently, senior guard Dwight Buycks thought the Golden Eagles needed to do a little bit more than that.

The senior guard had a career game scoring 21 points on only nine shots, including 5-of5 from beyond the arc. The rest of the team followed Buycks’ lead, shooting a precise 53.1 percent for the game, leading to a 22-point blowout of the thenNo. 9/11 Fighting Irish.

Notre Dame had been the king of the long ball, but on this night at the Bradley Center, Marquette reigned supreme. It was a pivotal moment in the season, and a game that proved this Marquette squad could compete with anyone in the country.

Any arms or faces that get in the way don’t stand much of a chance. Casualties are frequent.

It’s this rare combo of elegance and brutality that made Gonyo the most feared middle hitter in the Big East, and arguably, the entire country. Watching her play would be enough to reach this conclusion.

There is, however, statistical evidence that backs her greatness.

Gonyo, aided by those sprawling limbs, led the Big East in hitting percentage (.429) and was second in the entire country. On the defensive side of the ball she was equally disruptive, finishing her Marquette career first all-time in assisted blocks (364).

For the first time in a long time

at Marquette, the supreme athlete on campus wasn’t the one dribbling a ball. It was the one pounding the ball into submission.

It probably comes as a surprise to most that there was such a transcendent and otherworldly athlete hidden in our midst. Don’t be ashamed. Gluing your eyes to the likes of Butler or Robinson or anyone else on a basketball court is understandable. Those are the players we see everywhere. Anyone else kind of sneaks up on us.

Of course, in a year such as this, when our heads were turned every which way, we should have seen Gonyo coming. erik.schmidt@marquette.edu

STATE SUPREMACY A ‘WON’ DEAL

10

The women’s soccer team beat a lot of teams this season. Maybe more importantly, however, is that it went undefeated against bitter rival Wisconsin-Madison.

The lady Golden Eagles kicked off their fall season with a 1-1 tie over the pesky Badgers, an anticlimactic draw that left state soccer supremacy up in the air.

The question of who was the best team would be answered

three months later when Marquette, led by a goal from Big East Defensive Player of the Year Kerry McBride, tied Wisconsin once again in regulation 2-2. But Marquette edged the Badgers 5-4 in penalty kicks for the pivotal victory. The win sent the Golden Eagles to the third round of the NCAA Tournament, and shut those Badgers up for good. Or, at least until next year.
