Implementation of Arabic minor delayed Talks to resume after selection of tenuretrack Arabic professor

By Natalie Wickman

natalie.wickman@marquette.edu

The College of Arts & Sciences halted talks about offering an Arabic minor this year, with plans to renew the discussion after hiring a permanent professor of Arabic. The delay comes due, in part, to hiring and spending freezes, despite Marquette Student Government unanimously passing a recommendation for the establishment of an Arabic minor in time for the 2013-2014 academic year.

Anne Pasero, chair of the Foreign Languages and Literatures department, said the department is using this academic year to conduct interviews and the newly-selected professor of Arabic will start in fall 2014.

“For a number of reasons, mostly time constraints and staffing, we are not able to develop the (Arabic) minor in one year,” Pasero said in an email. “We prefer to wait until we have a professor on tenure-track.”

The university also would need to hire additional faculty in order to fully create an Arabic minor program, said Richard Holz, dean of the College of Arts & Sciences.

Kyle Whelton, legislative vice president of MUSG and junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said implementing an Arabic minor is more challenging now that the university is looking for a new president and provost. He said his guess is it will take about three years before the minor can be offered to students.

“Right now the university is in a leadership transition to say the least, and it’s difficult to open new programs because that requires a certain level of funding,” Whelton said.

Departments across the university are under hiring and

Charley Gargano, men’s lacrosse player and a junior in the College of Education, pled not guilty to a substantial battery charge in court Tuesday, resulting from an incident Sept. 15. Gargano is also suspended indefinitely from all athletic activities.

Gargano is charged with substantial battery with intent to cause bodily harm, after he allegedly assaulted a Department of Public Safety officer Sept. 15.

The charge carries up to a $10,000 fine and a prison sentence of up to three and a half years.

Gargano’s lawyer, John Schiro, of the firm Schiro & Zarzynski, asked Judge Dennis P. Moroney for additional time before trial in court Tuesday.

“We are still awaiting some discovery,” Schiro said to the judge. “I sent an email to counsel about something and I’m hoping to get a response. I was hoping the court would give us about 30 days and then we’ll have a better sense about where we’re headed once we have the balance of the discovery.”

Judge Dennis P. Moroney granted the extra time and a new court date was set for Oct. 30. All terms and conditions of Gargano’s bail still apply.

Schiro denied to comment on what he hopes to find out before the next court date.

“That’s something the prosecutor and I are discussing,” he said.

After the hearing Sept. 30, Schiro said Gargano’s actions were out of character.

“He comes from a wonderful family,” he said. “He has never been in jail before.”

Schiro also said Gargano is no longer living on campus. Gargano is also no longer listed as a player on the official men’s lacrosse roster on gomarquette.com.

Brian Dorrington, senior director of university communication, said “Charley Gargano has been suspended indefinitely from all athletic and team activities pending the outcome of the university process. When a student is accused of violating university policy, a student conduct process is initiated. If a student is found

spending freezes, which could slow the process involved with establishing a new minor or any other new academic program.

Cole Johnson, MUSG financial vice president and a junior in the College of Business Administration, said the freezes were enacted to prevent rising tuition prices.

“After being implemented this year, the freezes were intended to allow the university to prevent its headcount expenses from exceeding new budgetary limits this year as we enacted a lower 4.25 percent tuition increase as opposed to previous years’ 4.5 percent increases,” Johnson said.

Eight Arabic classes are available for students. In order to create an Arabic minor program, the university would need to add six semesters of Arabic language classes, Whelton said.

Some of Marquette’s peer institutions, including University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, have already implemented an Arabic minor in their circular.

Whelton said Maragret

Callahan, the intermin provost and dean of the College of Nursing, is capable of setting the groundwork needed in order to bring the Arabic minor to fruition.

“While we understand that there will be some deep focus on the provost search, it doesn’t mean that the intermin provost is a lame duck,” Whelton said, “and Dr. Callahan is very interested in these ideas.”

Alexis Sammareo, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, created the petition last year calling for the university to adopt an Arabic minor. It received 295 signatures, which caused MUSG to take notice and eventually pass its recommendation Feb. 7, 2013.

“Arabic is currently considered a critical language by the government, meaning that our country does not have enough people who can comprehensively read, write, and speak the language,” Sammareo said. “By offering an Arabic minor, Marquette students will be more marketable for future jobs and have unique skill sets to show employers.”

Shutdown shakes studies at Les Aspin Gridlock in Congress causes adjustments for students, staff

By Jason Kurtyka

jason.kurtyka@marquette.edu

While the federal government remains shut down due to the lack of a budget deal in Congress, the 18 Marquette students at the Les Aspin Center for Government this semester are busy getting a hands-on experience on how government works, and often does not.

Emily Wright, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, who works as an intern in the executive branch, was furloughed along with the rest of her office due to the shutdown.

“It’s a very fascinating time to be here in Washington, D.C.,” Wright said. “Being a witness to history is exciting. However, it has been a frustrating experience to be furloughed. I would much rather be working than waiting around for things to be resolved.”

At midnight on Oct. 1, the federal government entered a new funding period without budget appropriations from Congress, effectively shutting it down.

Annie Shuey, a junior in the College of Communication who is studying at Les Aspin, said this situation is a learning experience on democracy, even though she works for a political consulting firm not associated with congressional proceedings.

“The weekend before the shutdown, there were some intense late-night debates and votes in the House and Senate, and since we live only four blocks from the Capitol building, a bunch of us walked over and watched the proceedings from the galleries,” Shuey said. “Some members were yelling during debate and pointing at the other members and storming off the House floor — completely different from the respectful, somewhat dry debates you’d normally see on CSPAN.” The stalemate on appropriations came from the House Republican majority only passing

a continuing resolution that defunded the Affordable Care Act, repealed the tax on medical devices, or delayed implementation of the law for one year.

The Democratic Senate majority refused to negotiate a continuing resolution that contained stipulations about the Affordable Care Act. The lack of an agreement resulted in no funding resolution being passed.

Now, the fight has shifted on whether or not to raise the debt ceiling. President Obama announced he would not negotiate raising the debt ceiling, saying it must be raised before the Oct. 17 deadline to prevent a default on the national debt. Speaker of the House John Boehner continues to push for a negotiation

to find a bipartisan solution to the debt issue.

Chris Murray, a lecturer and coordinator of student affairs at Les Aspin, is using the opportunity to include the shutdown into his class discussions.

“Despite the fact that little is getting done in Congress, there is a lot of activity that can act as a teaching lesson,” Murray said.

“The students are spending a lot of time thinking about the consequences of the absence of compromise — especially from those elements refusing to budge on their demands.”

Murray also said students are having productive discussions on potential solutions to the shutdown.

“Because the students work in a broad cross-section of

offices they need to recognize diverse viewpoints and perspectives,” he said.

“Whereas the Congress seems less successful at doing this, I would argue that the students are doing quite well. I think they are all frustrated that there are few concessions being offered.”

As of Wednesday, there was no concrete budget deal on the table. The Washington Post, however, reported that 22 Republicans and 195 Democrats supported a clean continuing resolution, an agreement that would keep the government temporarily funded. These 217 representatives would be a simple majority in the House.

“Total was not adjusted as it should have been in previous years,” said Katie Doherty vice president of recruitment for the Panhellenic Association, a senior in the College of Communication. “But in the past year we have adjusted it three times, which shows how much the sororities have grown.”

The Panhellenic Association

also expects very high recruitment participation this year, based on past trends and an interest list that is longer than normal. This year, planning and preparation for recruitment was adjusted to accommodate more than 400 women.

“Last year, the registered number was 303,” Maruggi said.

“None of the numbers that we’d say for anything in the future are concrete in any way shape or

form. The reason we are trying to plan for a bigger recruitment is because our interest list and our participation by freshmen in the fall semester has increased.”

The Panhellenic Association already incorporated the addition of a new chapter next year into its current recruiting efforts.

However, if a new chapter is allowed to colonize in the spring, it will not participate in formal recruitment until spring 2016.

Students flood first MOOC Enrollment in course more than twice expected amount

By Caroline Roers

caroline.roers@marquette.edu

Marquette’s first massive open online course, Introduction to Applied Investing, enrolled 2,603 students as of this week, more than doubling its original allowance of 1,000 students. The MOOC opened Sept. 23 and is open to anyone in the university.

David Krause, director of the Applied Investment Management program and professor for the course, said the MOOC has not experienced any technological glitches, has an active discussion board and blog post views which have already reached well above 2,000. Because of all these aspects, he said the course is going better than he imagined when he first decided to create it.

“The course is going extremely well,” Krause said. “I believe the program has exceeded my expectations.”

The course is structured as a four-week survey of

investing course. The subjects covered during the course include common stock, bonds, real estate and alternative investments.

“I do think these classes are helpful for students seeking to gain more knowledge about specific topics,” Krause said. “The ages generally span through the entire range.”

Blake Weir, a junior in the College of Business Administration, said he took the class in hopes of helping his personal portfolio.

“This course gives a vivid picture of why to invest in various instruments and basic guidelines to go by when forming a portfolio as well as how to adapt for change in an uncertain world,” Weir said.

The University of Wisconsin–Madison joined Marquette and numerous other schools throughout the country by launching its first MOOC Oct. 3.

In an interview with Wisconsin Public Radio News, Constance Steinkuehler, associate professor at UW-Madison’s School of Education, said she believes MOOCs are part of the “Wisconsin way.”

“The idea of putting this together online in some fashion where someone wanted to go through it voluntarily on their

own schedule – that just seems to me like an obvious win,” Steinkuehler said.

Some of the courses UWMadison will offer include markets with frictions, human evolution: past and future, globalizing higher education and research for the ‘knowledge economy’ and video games and learning.

More courses may be offered in the future if these pilot courses go well.

Krause said he first decided to start a MOOC at Marquette when he noticed a trend of students and people in the workforce with the desire for “diverse academic opportunities.”

“I believe that these (courses) do have a valuable role in the future of education,” Krause said. “These will not be the only delivery mechanism, but they do have the ability to alter the higher education landscape.”

Krause added the course is working well for what it was intended.

“This has been a valuable experience for me and hopefully for the students,” Krause said. “I’ve learned a lot about how to create and produce a MOOC.”

Gargano: Trial for former MU lacrosse player Oct. 30 responsible for violating the university’s conduct policy, disciplinary action will be taken.

Results can range from positive action or a warning to suspension or expulsion.”

A statement from the university last month said, “Marquette takes any allegation and act of misconduct seriously and expects all of our students to uphold Marquette’s values. In a situation where a student violates university policy, a student conduct process is intitiated. In serious cases involving student-athletes, the student will not be allowed to participate in athletic and team activities indefinitely, pending the outcome of the university process.”

According to the criminal complaint filed for the case, Gargano is accused of striking DPS officer Annette Demeuse after she arrived to assist another officer, Valerie Gunderman, who found Gargano and two other students in a verbal altercation.

Capt. Russell Shaw, interim director of DPS, said Gargano was acting “very erratic.” After Gargano complied to the officers’ orders to get on the ground, he got up and charged at Demeuse, striking her and knocking her backwards into a concrete planter. Multiple

Milwaukee Police Department squad cars, fire trucks and an ambulance arrived at the scene. Both DPS officers received medical attention, while Demeuse sustained a nasal fracture and broken orbital bone in her face. Demeuse also received eight stitches above her left eye.

Before the incident, Gargano reportedly attended a concert at The Rave, 2401 W. Wisconsin Ave. According to the criminal complaint, Gargano said he “voluntarily ingested the hallucinogen, lysergic acid diethylamide on four separate occasions,” while at the concert. Gargano told investigators he had “little recollection of what occurred after that point, and has no memory of committing a battery.”

The criminal complaint stated that because of Gargano’s intoxicated state, the Milwaukee Fire Department needed to sedate him after DPS attemped to subdue him with pepper spray.

According to the complaint, Gargano fled the scene and was apprehended by a public safety officer in the median on Wisconsin Avenue between Johnston Hall and Carpenter Tower.

said. “In general, I don’t think I am completely comfortable with it unless you have the absolute means to want to carry one, if you have the training or if it’s for your job.”

A study done across 15 Midwestern universities reaffirms Martin’s thoughts. In the survey 78 percent of students said they opposed concealed handguns on campus and would not obtain a permit to carry a handgun if it were legal, according to a study done by Ball State University.

The majority of students

surveyed said they would not feel safe if faculty, students and visitors had weapons on campus. About 66 percent of the 1,649 students surveyed said carrying a gun would not make them feel less likely to be troubled by others.

Ball State researcher Jagdish Khubchandani said the study should be used to help lawmakers decide whether to allow concealed carry permit holders to bring guns to campuses.

“To me, it’s clear that we need to have decision-making on this

idea,” Khubchandani said in the study. “But the people that should be involved are the students and the campus police chief instead of a policymaker.”

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 19 state legislatures introduced bills in 2013 to allow concealed carry on campuses, and two of them failed.

The conference also said that five states tried to pass laws preventing guns on campuses in 2013, all of which failed.

After 14 days, 140 screenings and more than 400 events including panels, parties, concerts and discussions, the Milwaukee Film Festival ends Thursday.

What’s clear is that after just five years, this two-week takeover of the Oriental, Downer and Fox Bay Grill theaters is already one of the city’s best traditions.

Documentaries ‘The Crash Reel’

As the Milwaukee Film Festival comes to a close Thursday, it is clear it is one of the best-loved events of the year. Supported by institutions, businesses and people from all reaches of Milwaukee, the prestige and size of the festival is remarkable for its fifth year. Members of the Trib staf picked our favorite films this year’s impressive lineup of more than 140 films.

THE CRASH REEL

Boiled down to the very basics, “The Crash Reel” is about an olympic snowboarding favorite, Kevin Pearce. Once riding neck and neck with Shaun White, Pearce suffered a traumatic brain injury in training just before the Taranto Olympics. As his hopes are dashed scenes of snowboard bros and champaign popping parties end and a heartwrenching and physiologically complex story begins.

This film swerves away from your typical sports recovery tale into unexpectedly deep and complex territory.

It becomes a story about family exploring the tension between an individual’s needs and the effect on those who love him. The film touches on the invisible, yet deeply rooted effects of brain injury, the perverse side of extreme sports and coming to accept and find purpose in a life with physical limitations.

Filled with moments of humor and heartbreak, “The Crash Reel” gets unparalleled access and footage of the best snowboarders in the world, as well as intimate shots around the family dinner table.

Add a gorgeous soundtrack and vivid aesthetic and this film is easily the best documentary I’ve seen this year. Luckily, “The Crash Reel” is still available online for wider audiences through HBOGO. And if there’s any justice in the world, this film should be get will be up for some big nods come awards time.

THIS AIN’T CALIFORNIA

Skateboarding has always been about liberation mixed with a punky, anti-authority ethos.“This Ain’t California” shows riding a board in a Soviet-controlled 1980s East Germany was no different.

The film revolves around the death of “Panik” an old skate buddy central to a group of friends, a rebellious friend and informal leader who died as a soldier in Afghanistan.

While the old friends reminisce about their lives in the German Democratic Republic of East Berlin, they recall their escapades in the concrete landscape of Alexanderplatz, an austere sector unwittingly built to be a skateboarder’s paradise.

The film sweeps viewers along with footage of depicting the old parties and pranks. Meetings of skaters from East and West Berlin anticipated the city’s impending reunification, leaving the rebels wanting more. Panik stages a confrontation ending up in prison during the fall of the Berlin Wall, causing him to miss the iconic end of the totalitarian state.

Or does he?

As the film evolves, you question

everything revealed about “Panik,” through a twist resembling Banksy’s “Exit through the Gift Shop” it blurs the lines between fact and fiction.

Still, the central theme of the film, which it captures wonderfully, is nostalgia for a time when the good guys were the punks on boards, “the man” was easily identifiable and all you needed to fight the system with was a skateboard.

SOMM

Some people are enthusiastic about wine; some are utterly obsessed. Director Jason Wise’s intoxicating documentary, “Somm,” follows a group utrerly obsessed with wine knowledge.

Wise spotlights four wine experts, known as sommeliers, preparing to take the Master Sommelier exam, the gateway to the highest title in the industry. The test is one of the hardest in the world – fewer than 100 have passed in the last 40 years – but the odds only sharpen the dedication to passing. The men sacrifice time with their families, wives and social lives all in the name of studying for the test.

‘Stories We Tell’

Their knowledge about vintages and vineyards is near incomprehensible. By simply smelling a glass, they can tell you the location, date and quality of each product. A tasting opens the door to wild descriptions, ranging from bruised peach to freshly cut garden hose.

But “Somm” is about more than a rigorous exam. It educates viewers on the history of wine, recounts the journeys of current Master Sommeliers and examines the exam’s effect on the candidates. Using creative transitions and camera angles throughout, the film’s style is as

interesting as its content. Like a full-bodied Chardonnay, “Somm” leaves viewers satisfied and ready for more. (Claire Nowak)

STORIES WE TELL

“Stories We Tell” is an intensely personal story for director Sarah Polley. Constructed through interviews with her family and friends, Polley recreates a sort of portrait of a mother who died when Polley was still very young. But both the story and the film are less straightforward than their surfaces appear.

Through truly engaging storytelling and filmmaking, Polley documents the facets of her own family’s story, while also exploring the nature of memory, family and the way stories impact the way we percieve our past. The results are an unconventional film and story that weaves and decieves, keeping you far from knowing what is about to come.

In the end, the film is dotted with the affection and familiarity that comes only with family members telling a mysterious story central to them all.

With such an unpredictable plot told by groups of sincere and engaging raconteurs, it’s not surprising “Stories We Tell” has become one of the most discussed documentaries of the year.

THE INEVITABLE DEFEAT OF MISTER & PETE

Director and Milwaukee native George Tillman Jr. has a lot to be commended for in “The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete.” The story written by Michael Starrbury, also from Milwaukee, engages the audience with bold dialogue and realistic situations of tough inner-city life. Simple, yet effective cinematography captures powerful moments in an otherwise everyday setting.

The film’s most impressive feat, however, shines through the performances by Skylan Brooks and Ethan Dizon, the young stars who carry the weight of the film like veteran pros.

Shortly after school lets out for the summer, Mister (Brooks) finds himself at an all-time low.

He has just failed eighth grade, his drug-dealing mother (Jennifer Hudson) is taken away by the cops and he is forced to hide

out in the apartment to avoid being taken to the local boys’ home. Now he and his neighbor Pete (Dizon), also dealing with an absent, druggie mother, must rely on each other to survive the scorching summer.

Brooks comes off like an adult in a kid’s body, with a cynical world view, and a determination to prove his worth by living on his own. Dizon gives a charming, crowd-pleasing performance without coming off as a lowly sidekick.

Others in the talented cast, including “American Idol” winner Jordin Sparks, turn in solid performances, but Brooks and Dizon steal the show with their charisma and confidence.

CLOSED CURTAIN

With a slow but steady pace, thick symbolism and an unconventional use of perspective, Iranian filmmaking can be an acquired cinematic taste.

‘The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete’

Director: Marc James Roels, Emma De Swaef “Oh Willy…” takes full advantage of creative animation to paint an introverted, overweight titular character as a lonely man with a mother complex.

After visiting his ailing mother at a hospital inhabited by nudists, we are plunged into Willy’s strange subconscious saga of childhood memories, future mountain fantasies and surreal imagery.

The film’s combination of animation and silent storytelling masterfully explore a broken character — at times even using moments of discomfort and humor. Much of the audience’s reaction, for example, came from the shock of seeing felt figures in the nude or at Willy calming his mind with memories of breastfeeding.

The characters and sets were made from atypical stop-motion materials, replacing clay and plastic with felt and wool.

All parts come together to give “Oh Willy…” a one-off feel that brings the audience right into Willy’s rightfully conflicted mind. (Tony Manno)

‘Lore’

LORE

“Lore” is set at the end of WWII as a young German girl, Lore (Saskia Rosendahl), and her younger siblings find themselves abandoned by their Nazi parents, left to travel to their grandmother’s house across a now divided and dangerous Germany.

Beautifully filmed in cool and lush colors, “Lore” explores the psyche of a girl raised in the Hitler Youth who comes into her identity and sexuality, just as the Germany she knows falls apart.

As the children travel across American and Soviet lines, they are joined by a young man marked with a David’s Star on his passbook. The mysterious young man follows the family with an intense, yet unknown purpose. It is unclear if he means to be protector or hunter; if he’s there to

help their journey, or hurt them along the way.

More complicated yet is an attraction that exists between the young man and Lore. Though the attraction simmers as they travel together, Lore’s anti-semitism periodically boils to the surface as they face the harsh wilderness.

Throughout the emotionally gruelling plot, the audience’s empathy is tested by a story made even more gripping by its two stunning young leads, who create a tension that makes it hard to tear away from the theater.

Heavy and emotionally complex “Lore” is a difficult bildungsroman that does justice to its complex moral dillemna.

For those who missed “Lore” at the festival this year, the film is now also available on Netflix streaming. (Brian Keogh)

Shorts OH WILLY…

Fortunately, director Jafar Panahi crafts his latest film, “Closed Curtain,” so all moviegoers can be intrigued.

In semi-autobiographical style, Panahi mixes reality and fiction as he describes his current house arrest in Iran, yet the filmmaker himself only enters the film in the final act. The bulk of “Closed Curtain” instead follows Panahi’s personified psyche, a reclusive screenwriter (Kambuzia Partovi) and a suicidal fugitive (Maryam Moqadam) as they hide from the authorities.

The story becomes more complex once characters leave their imagined world and comment on Panahi’s actual thoughts, making viewers question whether the events on screen are real or in the director’s mind.

Yet Panahi eases that confusion just enough for a satisfying, but ambiguous end.

Relatively long shots and illustrative cinematography show Panahi’s knack for catching details that might otherwise go unnoticed. The camera never leaves the inside of Panahi’s beachfront villa (with every window covered by – get this – closed curtains) to match the director’s seclusion from society and leave all outside action to the imagination.

A stark diversion from current films in American theaters, “Closed Curtain” gives viewers a baffling, dreamlike but rewarding cinematic experience.

I AM TOM MOODY

Director: Ainslie Henderson Using animated clay figures, director Ainslie Henderson creates a targeted character portrait of Tom Moody, an amateur musician who stands frightened onstage before engaging in a discussion of self-doubt with his younger self.The animation relies on its simplicity: Tom’s stage is stark black, leaving us alone with the two Toms and whatever items or characters can help them work through their inner debate. Childhood Tom and his equally frightening cousin, Steve, let the audience observe Tom’s internal struggle.

Illustrating the subconscious

fight between a man and his inner-child is tough to squeeze into eight minutes, but Henderson makes it happen with expressive faces and fleeting background stories. The animation’s fluidity is especially impressive: wide-eyed facial expressions on both Tom and his childhood counterpart constantly draw parallels between the two. Sometimes lighthearted and often surreal, the film offers a peek into childhood struggles Tom never could shake. (Tony Manno)

THE FLOGSTA ROAR (FLOGSTAVRALET)

Director: Johan Palmgren In Uppsala, Sweden, students of the Flogsta neighborhood throw open their doors and windows at 10 p.m. year-round and let out a commu-

nal, stress-killing scream with a unity that would make Howard Beale proud.

A film about such an exceptional event would have failed if it were to spend its time in typical documentary format, with interviews regarding the origins of the roar itself or impersonal recollections of community reactions to the tradition.

Rather, director Johan Palmgren takes the audience through typical preceding hours in the dormitories, shedding light on the stresses that inspire the scream rather than the elusive origins of the tradition itself. Instead of just hearing the theories, we watch as students call the police over stolen food from the dorm’s refrigerator — some of the simpler trials of the community.

Of all the “Stranger Than Fiction” documentary shorts at the festival, this film pulled itself furthest from a traditional style.

When the roar finally comes, it is all the more satisfying to watch. (Tony Manno)

SPECTACLE!

‘I am Tom Moody’

Photo via kloosterkino.nl

Six Milwaukee directors – Andrew Swant, WC Tank, Erik Ljung, John Roberts, Kurt Raether and Carol Brandt – each took a stab at directing a different film genre to create a chapter in “Spectacle!,” a heavily stylistic exploration of film and genre conventions.

Never seeming to bite off more than it can chew, the film’s leads, “bumbling busboy Tilt and debutant Ladybird Isabelle,” flow through the stages of their escape from the fabricated film world almost seamlessly – through silent film, science fiction, film noir, fantasy, musical and independent film.

Some genres were especially pleasing. The fantasy works in an impressive array of visuals, and the silent film plays with the audience by introducing a cryogenic chamber to force lead characters to enter the next genre stage. Others were just a tad off – at the film noir stage, for example, the music and camera were spot on, but the characters themselves detracted from the scene by remaining static throughout their movements.

“Spectacle!” originally remained divided by its separate segments for a multi-room screening at the North End apartments back in February: six films, from six genres, by six directors, in six separate rooms. After the screening, filmmakers mentioned the challenge of converting the individual parts into a concise flowing film for the big screen. It mixed together well in the end — though I can only imagine the magic of seeing “Spectacle!” outside a traditional theater format. (Tony Manno)

Assemble communities, not just houses, in service

STAFF EDITORIAL

Student-athletes should be allowed to profit from image he should not be able to profit off of his own image!!!

student athlete

ncaa Illustration by Rob Gebelhoff/robert.gebelhoff@marquette.edu

Our view: Student-athletes should be allowed to profit from their own likenesses.

The NCAA and similar entities do not have the right to stop them.

Friday night marks “Marquette Madness” and the beginning of Marquette Athletics’ most lucrative sport— basketball.

It’s no secret the university is home to two winning, profitable basketball programs. In 2011, the men’s basketball program alone generated $13.4 million in revenue. Forbes calculated that the program generated 63 percent of Marquette men’s sports revenue that year.

Those profits are not listed item by item, but they stem from ticket sales, jersey sales, media broadcasts and paraphernalia sales.

As the athletics department gears up for another season, the NCAA is gearing up for a fight over revenue like the millions of dollars Marquette athletes generate every year.

Student athletes challenged the NCAA and its affiliates for making obscene amounts of money from players’ likenesses.

The original class action lawsuit, O’Bannon v. NCAA, began three years ago with student-athlete plaintiffs led by former UCLA basketball star Ed O’Bannon on one side and the NCAA, the Collegiate Licensing Company and video game developer EA Sports on the other.

O’Bannon and company believe studentathletes should be paid for using their likenesses – autographs, jersey numbers, film clips and TV appearances. Meanwhile, the NCAA believes student-athletes should be grateful for the education and exposure that is afforded to them.

Last week EA Sports and the CLC backed out of the lawsuit, leaving the NCAA to fight for the revenue generated by broadcasting games. EA Sports announced it will stop producing collegiate sport video games. Athletes will no longer worry about EA Sports profiting from a virtual player that looks, performs and has stats just like them.

The NCAA is willing to appeal a proO’Bannon ruling all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which would significantly change collegiate sport revenue at programs like Marquette.

A student should be allowed to profit off of his or her own likeness, whether an autograph, highly-recognized jersey number or a suspiciously similar virtual quarterback. If the NCAA would just allow student-athletes to own licensing rights while they are students, cases like Johnny Manziel’s or Terrelle Pryor’s could have been avoided.

Texas A&M’s Manziel and Ohio State’s Pryor both allegedly accepted gifts in exchange for autographs. Manziel got a halfgame suspension and a lot of bad press.

Pryor and his teammates caused the NCAA to launch an investigation that ended with a team bowl-season suspension and the early retirement of the team’s head coach.

Some, such as Jim Monks, a professor of economics at the University of Richmond, argue that because of this, student-athletes should be paid just like professional athletes. However, this isn’t necessarily accurate. Just because student-athletes don’t receive a salary doesn’t mean they don’t receive compensation in scholarships, recognition or free swag.

At Marquette alone, student-athletes have access to practice gyms, weight rooms and suites not open to most students, according to the Marquette Athletics website. The Eagle’s Nest Academic Center provides student-athletes with an additional study space and tutoring staff. Student-athletes also have priority scheduling to better accommodate practice times. And, according to the Marquette website, “partial to full scholarships are offered in all varsity sports.”

So student-athletes do receive benefits, albeit sometimes not enough to offset losing out on part-time jobs or internships.

Their status as students, then athletes, sometimes leaves student-athletes in lessthan-desirable situations. Some are in financial situations that would merit a part-time job; instead they are a full-time athlete. One ESPN story cited a college basketball player who was suspended for accepting grocery money from an agent because he had no spending money despite being a popular, well-known player who would have made a lot on his own jerseys or autographs.

If students were allowed to profit from their likeness, this could offset basic living expenses and thus counteract not being able to hold a part-time job.

Additionally, if students are able to profit from their personal collegiate success, they can save that money later in life to support themselves and family. Not all athletes go pro, and even if they do, not all the pro athletes earn the millions of dollars a year highprofile athletes with endorsements do.

NCAA basketball season may be upon us, but resolving the issue of compensating student-athletes looks like it will not be.

Students should be able to profit from their likenesses, although a possible out-of-court settlement with the NCAA suggests the issue may remain unresolved until another lawsuit is filed.

Helen Hillis Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. As talk of winter and spring service trips begins to grow on campus, this proverb caused me to question how effective international volunteer service trips can truly be for the communities they serve.

When people embark on international service trips they are looking to make a difference. They want to change the world. They hope that a few plywood boards and some nails will transform the future of some unknown family.

I am here as the bearer of bad news, a Debbie Downer, the Grinch about to steal Christmas: international volunteer service trips that focus on only construction are not for the communities they “serve.” They are for the satisfaction of the participants paying thousands of dollars to temporarily transplant themselves into another culture.

The distinction of trips with a focus on construction versus trips that work to empower locals is important. Volunteer service trips that focus only on building houses are not valuable to communities in the long run. If inexperienced high school and college students are entrusted to build houses, schools and hospitals, there is no reasons why locals could not do the same.

I should point out that I am an active member of MARDI GRAS. However, MARDI GRAS is a different type of trip. Our organization is about the consistency of upholding a community, not just the physical labor we put into it.

Our work is not just building homes, but connecting with homeowners. We have established a strong community in New Orleans because students return multiple times. A great example is one of the

homeowners, Smitty. Smitty was one of the first homeowners we worked with.

Even though we haven’t worked on his house in years, he continues to spend time with us every time we are in New Orleans. Smitty has taken up the habit of becoming pen pals with students, myself included. Smitty is a great example of MARDI GRAS’ goal of creating a community in New Orleans, not merely building houses and moving on.

I recognize that service trips are important for participants to see the realities of our world. Travel has the power to change lives, but there are better ways to learn about a culture and see the world while still making a difference in a community. They should be about empowerment. These trips should focus on giving communities the resources to create their own success.

The tens of thousands of dollars groups of volunteers spend to travel to other countries would be much more effective if applied directly to the materials and necessary training for locals to do the work on their own. Not only would these communities benefit from the material gain, but the additional employment would serve them economically.

Service trips that aim to provide communities with the resources necessary to achieve steady self-sustaining growth are ideal for all parties involved. Volunteers who use their expertise to help develop communities will have the greatest impact. A marketing genius who shares his or her knowledge could empower a local business owner to succeed. An excellent teacher could best serve by training local educators. Even an experienced construction worker can serve a community, so long as he or she is empowering locals by offering his or her expertise. In the long run, the value of human capital is much greater than physical capital.

To truly make a difference in this world, we must work to empower one another. Ideally, volunteer service trips would not be necessary. The only way to arrive at this point, however, is to empower communities through investment in long term skills. To teach them how to fish, so that they may feast for a lifetime.

ACA: The good, the bad and the problematic

Eric Oliver This is the second of a three-part series on the Affordable Care Act It’s week two of the Affordable Care Act and Healthcare.gov is still broken.

You can’t enroll for the insurance marketplaces online, and unless you call and attempt

to fight the long hold times, you can’t yet enroll in the ACA through the national exchanges (some state exchanges have been successful). But what exactly are you enrolling in?

The ACA is a mix of good and bad legislation.

The first good thing about the act is it will require every American citizen to have health insurance. It will even provide subsidies and different levels of coverage – bronze, silver and gold – to offset the cost of the insurance.

Hospitals are bogged down by people who use the emergency room for every little thing because ERs have to accept patients regardless of their insurance coverage. With the health insurance requirement, the government hopes the burden facing hospitals will be reduced and people will switch over to primary care providers, thus saving money by helping people before they require emergency room services.

Furthermore, the ACA stops insurance companies from denying coverage because of pre-existing medical conditions. The law will stop insurance companies from dropping the coverage of people who become sick, it will eliminate higher premiums solely because of health issues, and it allows children to stay on their parents’ insurance until they are 26.

Now for some of the act’s drawbacks.

The ACA relies on young Americans to enroll in it for its success. It needs healthy people paying into it to offset the cost of the aging population that will be more actively utilizing it. That said, a survey by the Commonwealth Fund, a private foundation that is “working toward a high performance health system,” said 73 percent of people between the ages of 19 and 27 weren’t even aware of the marketplaces. This is concerning because, if the ACA doesn’t get the healthy young adults it needs to function, the cost will rise drastically in the future.

Another problem is the penalty for foregoing the coverage is $95, or 1 percent of a person’s total annual income. Although that rate increases on a yearly basis, there is an idea circulating that people will simply pay the penalty for not having insurance instead of paying the expensive monthly premiums.

The biggest illustration of the act’s pros and cons comes from a report from the Department of Health and Human Services.

In Wisconsin, a 27-year-old making $25,000 a year would pay $2,856 a year for the second lowest “silver” health care plan without any subsidy support, according to a HHS report. A big part of the ACA is it

subsidizes low-income health care. It is these subsidies that make the mandatory insurance reasonable for low income families. After the subsidy, the same 27-year-old would be paying $1,740 a year.

When you take the ACA into the workplace, you’ll see two things: a reluctance for new full-time hires and a cut back of parttime insurance. Employee-provided health insurance was never cheap for companies to provide, but now it is almost unreasonable. It makes more sense for employers to end their policy, take the fine for not having insurance and instead provide employees with extra money to test the marketplaces than it does for them to keep their expensive policies.

The general public agrees that something must be done in the insurance realm with America being the first in per capita spending for health care, but both political parties are split on how to resolve the issue.

As a person that doesn’t have insurance and isn’t covered by his parent’s plan, I’m going to test the exchanges, but I can’t say I’m excited.

OP-ED SUBMISSION

MUSG working to include students in presidential search

To the students of Marquette, In the Oct. 8, 2013 issue of the Marquette Tribune, the editorial staff wrote a column on the inclusion of students on the search committee for the 24th president of Marquette University. Tribune staff praised the Board of Trustees for including faculty members on the committee, but expressed concern that student input was not being taken into enough consideration.

Prior to the announcement of the search committee Oct. 3, the Marquette University Student Government Executive Board and I drafted a letter to Board of Trustees Chair

Charles M. Swoboda and the executive committee of the board, urging them to include a student representative on the search committee for our next president.

We sent the letter Oct. 2 and received notice the following day from Chair Swoboda that a student would not be included on the committee, but that the committee would work closely with members of MUSG to ensure student perspective is included in the process.

Additionally, Executive Vice President Zach Bowman and I met with Chair Swoboda Monday to further advocate for the

inclusion of a student representative in the search process. While we are disappointed we could not reach an agreement on this topic, we discussed other ways in which students can contribute to the search and look forward to sharing those opportunities in the coming weeks.

As the representatives of the undergraduate population at Marquette, we are committed to making a difference in the lives of students and improving the Marquette experience as much as possible. In the coming months, we will continue to advocate on behalf of students on topics such as academic

advising, study and recreational space, and conversations surrounding gender and sexuality on campus.

We invite you to share your opinions on these topics and any concerns you may have by visiting us in our office, AMU 133, or emailing us at musg@marquette.edu. By working together, we all can improve the Marquette experience.

Madness signals start of new season

Tribune File Photo

The men’s basketball team accepts its invitation to the Maui Invitational at Marquette Madness last year. The team ended its season during the Elite Eight round of the NCAA Tournament.

Men’s and women’s basketball teams scrimage,

By Hayley Keith

Special to the Tribune

Friday marks the first day the men’s and women’s basketball teams can start practicing in preparation for the upcoming season. The beginning of basketball season marks the storied and beloved Marquette tradition — Marquette Madness.

The dunk contest is arguably the most exciting event of the night. The players of the men’s team will show off their hops and creativity in hopes of decrowning last year’s winner Jake Thomas, a redshirt senior guard.

Junior forward Juan Anderson, is someone to watch during this year’s dunk contest. He placed in the top three last year and at 6-6, he can think up some original dunks. Incoming freshman Deonte Burton could also score big in the dunk contest with his signature one-handed throw-down.

At 6-4, he makes it look easy.

The Buzz Williams imperson-

ations are always a crowd favorite, with some fans taken out of the crowd to show off their talents for judges chosen from the men’s basketball team. A talent competition between the men’s and women’s basketball teams will follow.

The talent competition always gets some laughs and is one of the most entertaining segments of the night.

The women’s basketball team is looking for another win to follow its “Gangnam Style” team dance from last year. Maybe this year they will choreograph a dance to “What Does the Fox Say?” Perhaps Chris Otule will wow the audience with his singing and give the win to the men’s team. The students, faculty and alumni in the stands will decide the winner of the contest by texting in their vote for the best act.

The highlight of Marquette Madness is the introduction of the

men’s team and its scrimmage.

The men are split into two teams and put on a show for the Marquette fanbase. This year the team will have three top 15 ranked recruits: JaJuan Johnson, Duane Wilson and Deonte Burton.

It’ll be exciting to see what the three bring to the team. The scrimmage is as close as the student body will get to a Marquette game until the team’s first game against Southern Nov. 8.

The women’s team will kick off the night with its team video, introductions and then a scrimmage. The scrimmage gives a preview of the women’s team before its opening game.

Marquette Madness begins Friday at 7 p.m. at the Al Maguire Center. It will also be streamed live on GoMarquette.com.

MU plays Creighton, Georgetown this weekend Men’s Soccer: Marquette vs. No. 4 Creighton, Saturday, Oct. 12, 7:05 p.m., Valley Fields Soccer powerhouse Creighton comes to town Saturday to take on the men’s soccer team.

The Bluejays are dominant in the attacking third, being held scoreless in only one game so far. As a first year member in the Big East, they have made a statement, starting out 2-0-1 in the conference, with wins over St. John’s and Xavier, along with a draw with Georgetown.

Also, they consistently crack the top 10 in most rankings. This is Marquette’s toughest contest so

far this season, and they cannot afford any slip-ups, because Creighton will take advantage of them.

Prediction: 2-1 Creighton Volleyball: Marquette vs.

Creighton, Sunday, Oct. 13, 1 p.m., D.J. Sokol Arena Marquette faces its toughest match of the Big East season Sunday as it travels to Omaha, Neb. to battle Creighton. In the last showdown between the two foes, the Bluejays knocked the Golden Eagles out of the 2012 NCAA Tournament in the first round with a close but decisive

sweep. Creighton’s 2013 season has not been without ups and downs. The team was picked to win the Big East preseason by the coaches and went 9-3 in the nonconference season. However, the Bluejays already lost a conference match when they dropped a five-setter at Butler Oct. 4. Kelli Browning, Creighton’s junior middle blocker from Waukesha, was selected as preseason co-player of the year in the conference and is averaging a dominant 1.43 blocks per set this year.

Prediction: Marquette in five sets

Women’s Soccer: Marquette vs. Georgetown, Sunday, Oct. 13, 1 p.m., Valley Fields Marquette and Georgetown, both jockeying for first place in the Big East, will square off Sunday at Valley Fields. The match is anticipated to be the most crucial regular season contest for both teams, with Golden Eagles coach Markus Roeders hailing it as a “championship-type match.”

The 4-0-0 Golden Eagles have a slight edge in the standings over the 3-0-1 Hoyas, whose lone draw in Big East action came at home versus DePaul. Marquette is unbeaten at home, but George-

town possesses a perfect road record. Both teams had a full week to prepare, so the intensity will be high with rested legs on the pitch.

The defense will be enticing to watch, as Georgetown allowed multiple goals in only one match thus far, while Marquette has four. Additionally, Marquette has tallied five shutouts compared to Georgetown’s six. In what will be the probable matchup in the Big East Tournament title game, Marquette will have the upper hand based on its home field advantage and its momentum from an ongoing six-game winning streak.

Prediction: 2-1 Marquette

Nortey plays hero once again in overtime victory Men’s soccer defeats Butler 3-2, Nortey leads team in points

By Andrew Dawson

andrew.dawson@marquette.edu

For the second game in a row, redshirt sophomore C. Nortey scored the game-winning goal in extra time, this time to lift Marquette over Butler 3-2.

Nortey tied the record for most career game winners with senior defender Eric Pothast and leads all active players in points.

Marquette dominated the tempo throughout the match; however, they were scoreless after the first frame and it seemed this game would be decided by whoever struck first.

That break came in the 50th minute, when Butler’s Jeff Adkins received a ball in the lower left corner of the box. His cross deflected off redshirt sophomore defender Axel Sjoberg’s leg and popped up over redshirt junior keeper Charlie Lyon and crossed the line before Lyon could get to it.

The energy from both the squad and crowd depleted following the own goal, but did not last as Marquette quickly turned the tables.

Less than a minute later, the Golden Eagles earned a free kick

well away from the box. Senior defender Paul Dillon took the kick and Sjoberg got a head on it and scored.

The goal came only 37 seconds after Butler’s, and the action was not finished there. Marquette earned a corner kick a little over a minute later. Dillon played the corner, and Puthast, who was wide open on the back post, tapped it in to take a 2-1 advantage.

The three goals came in a 2:07 span.

Dillon finished with two assists on the night and played his second full game of the season. Freshman defender Jake Taylor, who normally shares playing time with Dillon, was out with a concussion.

“It’s the first full game I’ve played since (the season opener against Milwaukee),” Dillon said.

“I felt good. I felt I established myself. Got a really good rhythm going and good vibes all around.”

The momentum continued to build following the goal and Marquette proceeded to outshoot the Bulldogs 11-5 is the second half.

Most of the chances were quality ones, but Marquette was unable put another one away in regulation.

Heading into the final minutes of regulation, the lead was intact, until a Butler shot deflected and Vincent Mitchell got on the end of it and tied the game, sending into overtime.

Both teams had opportunities in

the first overtime period, but no one was able to put the game away.

Midway through the second overtime, senior midfielder Bryan Ciesiulka played a ball to redshirt senior forward Adam Lysak who gave a through ball to Nortey who split the defenders and put his shot upstairs for the golden goal.

“It’s always good to score the game-winner,” Nortey said.

“We finished it at the right time and it’s good.”

Coach Louis Bennett said he was proud of his team’s effort and ability to respond after going down and giving up the late goal. He said converting set pieces was a difference maker in the match.

The team had great success last season on set pieces, but hasn’t this season. Now, after a few tweaks, the team is starting to become dangerous on them.

“We did a lot of work on set pieces,” Bennett said. “We revamped some of our corners. We’ve got three or four different looks. We’ll get them right more often now than we’ll get them wrong and that will put our percentages up.”

Marquette has to rest up quickly, as they prepare for arguably their toughest match of the season against No. 4 Creighton Saturday night. Saturday will also mark the celebration of the opening of the new stands at Valley Fields.

MU golf finishes 8th at home Tournament took place at future U.S. Open golf course

By Trey Killian

robert.killian@marquette.edu

The Marquette golf team got a unique opportunity to host the Erin Hills Intercollegiate this week. Despite the team’s eighth place finish, coach Steve Bailey described hosting the tournament as a “groundbreaking step” for the program.

“The fact that we were able to host at a future U.S. Open venue and attract the caliber of teams and players that we did will help our program move forward,” Bailey said. “Not just from a reciprocal standpoint but for recruiting as well.”

The tournament featured toptier talent as the field of 14 teams included No. 8 Stanford and No. 3 UCLA. Among the individual stars were Northwestern’s Matt Fitzpatrick, the No. 1 amateur

golfer in the world, and Stanford’s Patrick Rodgers, who won the event as an individual with a 7-under-par overall score of 209.

Bailey said the event served as a solid measuring stick for the Golden Eagles’ standing compared to the nation’s best. He was impressed with his squad’s ability to hang with them, especially early on.

“Ballstriking-wise, our guys can hang right with the best players in the world,” Bailey said. “They don’t hit it any differently, but one of the differences is they can putt it and short game it from anywhere.

They make good decisions, and they’re a little tidier than our guys down the stretch. It’s really a small gap that makes the difference.”

Bailey was particularly impressed with redshirt sophomore CJ Swift’s effort as his first round 72 was just one stroke behind Fitzpatrick’s first round score and even with Rodgers’ second round score.

“It was a great experience to compare with them and match my game up with theirs,” Swift said.

“It gave me confidence that I was

right there with them. You might see those two players on this course again at the U.S. Open.

“It all came down to things like making a putt from 15 feet to save par. It really all comes down to the little things, but our shots off the tee were just as good as theirs.”

Sophomore Patrick Sanchez led Marquette with a strong finish to tie for 33rd place on the individual leaderboard. Freshman Henry Klongland followed in a tie for 38th place with an overall score of 224. Sophomore Zach Gaugert competed as an individual and his stellar first round score of 68 matched Rodgers.

The Golden Eagles finished four strokes ahead of in-state rival Wisconsin and ahead of Michigan State, Wisconsin-Green Bay and DePaul.

“It was a great barometer for our program,” Bailey said. “We’re going to take a lot of positives from it. We need to improve on not compounding our mistakes, and not making big numbers down the stretch. The publicity we gained from this is going to be good.”

Debate over Washington Redskins name continues

Trey Killian The Washington Redskins have made a lot of national news lately, but not based on the team’s performance on the field.

Robert Griffin III’s squad started just 1-3, allowing a highly publicized dispute over the team’s nickname to take center stage.

It’s a familiar issue to many Marquette fans, as the university changed its mascot from the Warriors to the Golden Eagles in 1994 due to a desire to be politically correct.

However, that was nearly 20 years ago and involved a name that, compared to “Redskin,” seems much less offensive. So why is it now that Washington has come under such heavy and concentrated scrutiny?

A growing number of critics have come out of the woodwork, including more than a handful of wellknown sports media figures.

Grantland and ESPN.com writer Bill Simmons took to calling the Redskins “The Washington D.C.’s” in his columns. ESPN pundit and general hothead Keith Olbermann dubbed “Redskin” as “the last racist term you can say at the office without getting fired.”

Even President Obama weighed in on the controversy, stating the name is “offending a sizable group of people,” and if he were the owner he would “think about changing it.”

Wednesday, the team’s owner Dan Snyder responded to criticisms in an open letter to Washington fans. In the letter, Snyder stated that he “listened carefully to the commentary and perspectives on

all sides” and that he “respects the feelings of those who are offended by the team name.”

The owner added that he “hopes such individuals will also try to respect what the name means, not only for all of us in the extended Washington Redskins family, but among Native Americans too.”

Snyder then cited a 2004 survey by the Annenberg Public Policy Center in which 90 percent of Native Americans claimed they weren’t bothered by the term “Redskin.” He also mentioned an April 2013 Associated Press survey in which 79 percent of the respondents stated the team should not change its name compared to 11 percent against the name.

Both sides of the debate raise good points, but a main concern should be the side that has had possibly the least amount of input.

While a lot of either outrage or support came from the media, the voice of the Native American community remain overshadowed.

The 2004 survey may seem conclusive, but there’s certainly a possibility the consensus changed in the last 10 years. Both proponents and critics of the name use the testimony of individual Native Americans to advance their positions. But the fact is the general public knows very little about how the Native American community as a whole feels about the issue.

Regardless of that factor, Snyder made it clear that he has no intentions of changing the name, and his opponents have shown no signs of backing down.

That being said, it’s easy to get caught up in the politics of the controversy. It seems, like with many disputes currently dominating the nightly news, any sort of compromise is out of reach and could be for some time.

Volleyball sweeps Ramblers in mid-week battle Loyola-Chicago proves a good tune-up match for Creighton

By Patrick Leary

The last time the Marquette women’s volleyball team faced a mid-week road block, it struggled to maintain momentum and gritted out an incredibly tight five-set win over Illinois State. Tuesday night, the Golden Eagles made sure they took care of business quickly and swept LoyolaChicago in three convincing sets, 25-22, 25-16, 25-13. “ E v e r y o n e ’s mentality was like, ‘It’s a Tuesday night, let’s not do what we did two weeks ago with Illinois State,’” senior libero Julie Jeziorowski

said. “‘Let’s finish this and finish them off from the start.’”

Marquette finished off the Ramblers with a furious and balanced attack up front. Freshman outside hitter Autumn Bailey led the way with 12 kills, and redshirt freshman middle hitter Meghan Niemann and junior right side hitter Lindsey Gosh each chipped in 11. The Golden Eagles combined to hit .384 as a unit.

“We got really balanced attack out of our hitters,” coach Bond Shymansky said. “There are some matches where we feel like there’s one hitter that’s carrying us and we just keep setting her the ball over and over.

We become too one-dimensional in that regard.

Tonight, we had really good balance.”

Marquette picked up momentum through the match Tuesday, culminating in a 20-5 lead in the third game.

25-22. Their intensity and accuracy picked up in the second frame, and they hit .439 with 20 kills in the 25-16 victory. Heading into intermission, Shymansky knew that main-

taining that momentum would be paramount for the team’s confidence going forward.

“We did better in the second set than in the first and I wanted to keep that upward swing

During 2012–13, Diederich Fellow Meg Kissinger, an award-winning journalist at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, spent a year reporting on Milwaukee County’s mental health system. Aided by Marquette faculty and students, Kissinger’s work led to the heralded Journal Sentinel series “Chronic Crisis: A System That Doesn’t Heal.”

“Chronic Crisis” demonstrates that the county’s mental health system focuses less on continual care and more on emergency treatment than any in the nation. This inaugural O’Brien Fellowship conference will convene people affected by or responsible for the system in an attempt to seek solutions for providing patients the best possible care.

and momentum,” he said. “We tried to make it about tightening up certain things and focusing on different components of the match.”

The team responded brilliantly in the third set and jumped all over the Ramblers. Marquette led 9-2 early and led by an astounding 20-5 margin before settling for the 25-13 win.

Jeziorowski said the match provided the team with a nice tune up as conference play continues.

“It’s a good practice to prepare us for the future games in conference play,” she said.

“Sweeping a team 3-0 is a great confidence boost. It reassures us that we are good and we know what we can do to teams.”

The practice was necessary for the Golden Eagles, who will play their most challenging game of the Big East slate Sunday when they travel to Creighton. Shymansky said the team is looking forward to renewing the rivalry that blossomed over the past few seasons. “(Creighton) has quickly become one of our top conference foes,” Shymansky said. “It’s definitely been a year in and year out battle for us. Even though they just joined the Big East, we’ve played them on-and-off for the last three years. It’s been a great contest between the two programs and we’re excited for that trip.”

Jeziorowski echoed her coach, and her anticipation for the big conference showdown was evident.

“Today was a great continuance of what’s going on,” she said. “Everybody is really excited for this … this is the team that’s ahead of us and we want to knock them down.”
