Townhall considers discrimination, legal rights, terminology By Natalie Wickman
natalie.wickman@marquette.edu
As a part of LGBTQ history month, the Center of Intercultural
Engagement held an LGBTQ Townhall meeting Wednesday, intended to foster awareness of the LGBTQ community and its presence on Marquette’s campus. An estimated 25 students discussed misconceptions about media stereotypes of LGBTQ individuals. They identified a lack of sexual identity communication as the root of most LGBTQ issues. Alexandria Taylor, a graduate
student in the College of Education and graduate assistant in the Center of Intercultural Engagement, facilitated the meeting. “The point of the Townhall series is to enhance learning, have students walk away thinking and get them to interact with someone that they may not interact (with) on a normal basis,” Taylor said. The students said they also gained a better understanding of
stigmatized or commonly misunderstood terms such as sex, gender and metrosexual. Ryan Pawlowski, a sophomore in the college of Business and president of the Gender & Sexuality Alliance, said he thinks Marquette’s transsexual community is too often overlooked. “I think the trans community is See Townhall, Page 4
Palermo’s faces new labor law challenges Allegation could delay union vote, prompt federal investigation By Jason Kurtyka
jason.kurtyka@marquette.edu
Palermo’s Pizza, Marquette’s main pizza vendor, faces new allegations from employees, this time accusing the management of disrupting union organization efforts. The labor dispute comes six months after the National Labor Relations Board ruled Palermo’s did not violate labor laws when it fired 75 workers
as part of an immigration audit in April. The NLRB, though, found Palermo’s unlawfully fired nine workers for engaging in or supporting unionizations. In a recent settlement, seven workers received back pay and four of the seven were re-hired. Voces de la Frontera, the organizational arm of Palermo’s employees, filed the new allegations with the NLRB Thursday, the group announced in a news release. “Since or around Oct. 18, the employer has interfered with, restrained, and coerced employees in the exercise of rights guaranteed by the (National Labor Relations Act), and retaliated and discriminated employees for exercising rights guaranteed

Freakfest, an annual Halloween celebration that takes place a block off of the University of WisconsinMadison campus, presents significant safety concerns. Police arrested 28 people at Freakfest, which takes place on Madison’s State Street. Most faced underage drinking or disorderly conduct citations and were later released. High arrest rates are a yearly trend for the event. Freakfest collected a total 36 arrests last year during the two weekend celebrations, according to Madison police reports. Some Marquette students also joined the Madison festivities. Lisa Bonvissuto, a sophomore in the Arts & Sciences, attended the event with a few friends last weekend along with thousands of other students. “There were a lot of people there, but the police kept an eye on things,” Bonvissuto said. “The police did pull some people aside and talk to them to keep things calm.” Madison police patrol the area, standing at each entrance to the festivities to make sure no one without a ticket enters and to look out for inappropriate behavior. This year’s event featured such memorable costumes as a condom and a male Miley Cyrus wearing her infamous teddy bear leotard. Overall, Freakfest draws about 35,000 attendees from both on and off campus. Julie Griep, a sophomore in the College of Engineering, joined Bonvissuto at the event. She said they stayed with friends who attend Madison and made sure to be safe while off campus. “(Freakfest) is definitely worth it,” Griep said. “It’s really fun, there are tons of cool costumes, five different band stands, a street fair and so many brightly colored people.” Making sure to stay in touch with Madison friends who knew their way around and to keep See Freakfest, Page 4

News in Brief Service planned for ITS analyst, alumna Mireille (Sonia) Zilvitis, a help desk analyst in Information Technology Services, unexpectedly died Wednesday, the university reported in a news brief. Zilvitis is survived by her husband, Chris, and their four-year old daughter, Rosalie. An online memorial fund was established to help the Zilvitis family during this time, with the goal of raising at least $2,000. Zilvitis graduated from Marquette with a degree in professional communication, and her husband is also an alumnus. In the news brief, she was remembered as someone who “touched the lives of many people across Marquette’s campus with her unique way of handling Help Desk calls, her dedication to providing personalized service and her passion for helping everyone.” A memorial prayer service will be held in the Chapel of the Holy Family Tuesday at 1 p.m.
Wis. approval of same-sex unions up The Marquette Law School released a poll Tuesday showing 53 percent of Wisconsin residents supporting samesex marriage, a 9 percent increase from the same poll released a year earlier. The poll’s margin of error is 5 percent in both directions. The Marquette Law School also reported that 24 percent of Wisconsinites favor civil unions and 19 percent said there should be no legal recognition for same-sex unions. Last year, 28 percent supported civil unions and 23 percent opposed legal recognition. Charles Franklin, a Marquette pollster and professor of law, said this is the first time more than 50 percent of Wisconsin residents reported supporting same-sex marriage, WTAQ reported.
NSA tapped cables of Google, Yahoo The NSA and the British agency Government Communications Headquarters tapped the fiber-optic cables connecting Google’s and Yahoo’s overseas servers, according to documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. Google and Yahoo both said Wednesday they were unaware of the agencies accessing their data links. The NSA and GCHQ allegedly took advantage of data stored in and traveling among global data centers. According to a top-secret document from January, the NSA sends millions of records every day from Yahoo and Google internal networks to data warehouses at the agency’s Maryland headquarters. In the preceding 30 days, field collectors processed and sent back 181,280,466 new records, including metadata. The NSA did not directly address the claims in a statement the

DOJ grant to boost size of MPD force Milwaukee will receive a $1.25 million federal grant to hire 10 additional police officers next year, adding on to the 100 new officers in Mayor Tom Barrett’s 2014 budget. The Community Oriented Policing Services grant will cover about 54 percent of the total cost for hiring 10 officers over the next three years, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The grant was approved by the U.S. Department of Justice. In addition, Milwaukee Alderman Michael Murphy plans to make a proposal Friday for 10 additional officers, bringing the proposed total to 120. Funding for these officers would come from the city’s tax levy. The city’s Common Council will review and consider Barrett’s $1.44 billion 2014 budget Friday, and Barrett will work to gain council approval to add the officers next year.
NYC to raise age for tobacco to 21 In an effort to curb young smokers, New York City adopted a bill raising the legal age for purchasing tobacco products from 18 to 21. The bill, which passed through
the New York City Council with a 35 to 10 vote, is expected to be signed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg and will become effective six months after signing, according to the New York Times. The legal age applies to all tobacco purchases, including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigarillos and cigars. City officials who supported the measure cited New York
City’s stagnation in reducing the youth smoking rate, despite the reduction of youth smokers by more than half since 2001. In addition to the legal age adjustment, the New York City Council also approved several other antismoking proposals, including a prohibition on discounts for tobacco and a minimum price of $10.50 for a pack of cigarettes.

New Greek chapter would require MUSG approval After IFC vote, MU expected to permit fraternity to colonize By Joe Kvartunas
joseph.kvartunas@marquette.edu
University administration will have the final say regarding a new fraternity and sorority which are expected to join campus this time next year. Earlier this month Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Association voted to open expansion and extension, respectively, but have not announced which groups they hope to see come to campus. “The university approves all student organizations, and Greek organizations are student organizations, so yeah, basically the university has the final say,” said Corey Lansing, the assistant dean of student involvement and advisor to Greek organizations. “But that is in coordination with IFC. It’s in coordination with, really, (Marquette Student Government), because MUSG approves all student organizations as well.” Both Panhellenic Association and IFC are taking applications from
interested organizations and will continue doing so until Jan. 10. Then IFC and Panhellenic councils will form committees to review applications from interested parties. Both Lansing and Kim Jeffrey, the graduate assistant for student involvement and Greek life, will sit on committees as non-voting members to select which new organizations will start at Marquette. After two organizations are chosen by the committees, the university will approve or deny the selections. Lansing said it is unlikely the university would decide to stop the organizations chosen by the committees from establishing a colony on campus. He specified that if the university felt the Greek community were struggling or in trouble, it might stop expansion, but that scenario does not apply here. The committees will look at several factors when considering applications. They will examine local alumni involvement, whether or not the group has an active national organization and how many expansions the national organization is going through at the time. The committees will also ask the interested organizations specifically about the connection they see with the mission of Marquette as a Catholic, Jesuit institution.
IFC’s interest in expansion began at the end of last semester when a group presented an interest in bringing a new fraternity to campus. That group is made up of Thomas Schick, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences; Jason Kurtyka, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences; and Matthew Walker, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences. Panhellenic Association took a different path toward extension. Instead of having an interest group come to them, it chose extension after an exploratory committee recommended growth at Marquette. The move to expand campus Greek life may come as a surprise to some, since Catholic schools do not typically have highly active Greek populations. IFC President Eric Eichelberger, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, attributed Marquette’s increased interest in fraternities and sororities to the quality of the people actively participating in Greek organizations right now. “Almost 80 percent of members are involved in another organization,” Eichelberger said. “Of that, 41 percent are leaders in those organizations, and that’s really our greatest recruitment tool.” Lansing said he hopes the new
Next Gargano hearing Dec. 9 Court will reconvene for second consecutive scheduling conference By Matt Kulling
matthew.kulling@marquette.edu
Former men’s lacrosse player Charley Gargano faced judge Dennis Moroney Wednesday and set a date for a scheduling conference the first week of December. Gargano is accused of assaulting Department of Public Safety officer Annette Demeuse Sept. 15. He is charged with substantial battery with intent to cause bodily harm, which carries up to a $10,000 fine and a prison sentence of three and a half years. At the proceedings today, both sides requested medical records for both Gargano and Demeuse from the night of the incident. According to the criminal complaint for the case, Gargano is accused of striking Demeuse after she arrived to assist another officer, Valerie
Gunderman, who found Gargano and two other students in a verbal altercation. Both attorneys requested more time to obtain the tape recordings of the incident, something that Assistant District Attorney Christopher Ladwig said was coming “any time now.” Gargano will be back in court Dec. 9 at 1:30 p.m. Capt. Russell Shaw, interim director for DPS, said Gargano was acting “very erratic” the night of the incident. After Gargano initially complied with the officers to get on the ground, he got up and ran at Charley Demeuse, striking her and knocking her into a concrete planter. Several Milwaukee Police Department squad cars, fire trucks and an ambulance arrived at the scene. Both DPS officers received medical attention, while Demeuse suffered a nasal fracture and a 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 that he “voluntarily ingested the hallucinogen, lysergic acid diethylamide on four seperate occasions,” while at the concert. Gargano told investigators he had “little recollection of what occured after that point, and has no memory of committing a battery.” The criminal complaint also stated because Gargano Gargano was so intoxicated, the Milwaukee Fire Department needed to sedate him after DPS tried to subdue him with pepper spray. The complaint said that Gargano fled the scene and was apprehended by a DPS officer on the median on Wisconsin Avenue between Johnston Hall and Carpenter Tower.

fraternity and sorority will be able to provide a different option for those students who do not feel like they fit in with other Greek life groups on campus. The interest group would like to see more than that.
“We want the fraternity to be an active group on campus,” Schick said. “We will work toward bettering the Marquette and Greek communities through service and positive outreach.”

Palermo’s: Company calls claim a distraction, supports union vote “Now, the group has filed yet another claim with the National Labor Relation Board, and it clearly is an attempt to stifle our workers.” The news release went on to say that Palermo’s welcomes a union vote. “The real impact of this outrageous conduct is that it will prevent our workers from having a chance to vote on whether or not they want to form a union.” Palermo’s labor disputes became particularly relevant on campus in March when the Marquette chapter of Youth Empowered in the Struggle organized a protest outside the BMO Harris-Bradley Center before a men’s basketball game. YES has since stepped away from the Palermo’s issue and refocused its efforts on comprehensive immigration reform. At the time, the rally was intended to draw attention to the labor issue and engage in dialogue with administration about ending Marquette’s contact with Palermo’s. Last spring, Marquette Student Government also hosted an open forum with administrators and representatives from Palermo’s to discuss the issue.

It’s really easy to get lost.” Although Marquette’s campus does not have a celebration as large as Madison’s Freakfest, it also sees its own form of partying during the holiday’s weekend. Lieutenant Paul Mascari, interim associate director of the Department of Public Safety, urges students to keep safety in mind while celebrating Halloween, even while walking around campus. “Students need to take extra precautions when it comes

Griep noted that though alcohol was strictly monitored within the bounds of Freakfest, drunken behavior was still very noticeable. “If students who are of age
plan to drink, they should do so in moderation to avoid putting themselves in a position of increased risk,” Mascari said. Mascari notes that students, sober or otherwise, should utilize the LIMO or student escort services in order to stay safe, and while “considerable resources” are dedicated to campus and nearby off-campus locations’ safety concerns, DPS, as always, urges students to travel in groups.
smaller than the gay community, but it is here, and I think there needs to be a larger dialogue with people who identify as trans before the university would consider making changes,” Pawlowski said. Margo Clark, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said Marquette students are stereotyped as more socially conservative than they are in reality, which can lead to difficulty for the LGBTQ community at Marquette. “I know a few people who are extremely scared to come on (Marquette’s) campus and be openly gay,” Clark said. In an effort to address the challenges LGBTQ students face at Marquette, the attendees brainstormed ways the university can effectively support non-heteronormative communities. Eliminating rules that do not allow sorority members to attend dances with same-sex dates was mentioned. While discussing the limited civil rights offered to LGBTQ individuals across the country, attendees looked at workplace discrimination.
Erin McKay, a senior in the college of Arts & Sciences, said that some employers have started helping to relieve the financial burdens same-sex couples face while having children. “I think it’s a big step to recognize the family dynamics behind being gay,” McKay said. The attendees emphasized the importance of continuing civil discussion of gender and sexuality issues going forward. “When it comes to overall (sexual) identity, conversations aren’t being had,” Taylor said. “Sometimes no one wants to speak on those subjects because they may stir something or it may be too controversial.” Pawlowski said the meeting was successful in its mission to broaden the range of sexual identity discourse among Marquette students. “This was completely new faces I had never seen before, and it was conversations with people I had never had the conversation with,” Pawlowski said. “That’s always good to have the conversation with new people and expand the conversation as wide as it can go.”

Milwaukee Ghosts
Milwaukee’s Haunted Bar
Anna Lardinois hardly looks intimidating in her 1800s maid apparel, but her ghost tour is sure to make your hair stand on end. Gothic Milwaukee walking tours explore some of downtown most unsuspecting haunts, like the Cathedral of St. John, the Riverwalk and Bradford Beach. Lardinois narrates the tours with tales of ghost sightings, paranormal legends and detailed and surprising history lessons at each stop. Add a few occasional spooks, and the walk is sure to entertain believers and nonbelievers alike.
The Historic Third Ward may be known for its fashionable shops and cafes, but Milwaukee Ghosts offers 90-minute tours of the ward known to paranormal enthusiasts as the “Bloody Third.” While participants should not expect ghoulish scares, they will learn about legendary hauntings, local fortean folklore and recent accounts of paranormal activity in the city. Milwaukee Ghosts also provides free historical investigations, so those experiencing paranormal activity on campus can banish that ghost from dorm bathrooms, pools and 13th floors at last.
There’s a reason why Shaker’s Cigar Bar calls itself Milwaukee’s most haunted location. The stories go that door knobs move by themselves, lights flicker ominously, and faucets turn on without warning. Whether you’re left convinced or skeptical by customer testimonials, Shaker’s gives intimate tours of its eerie facility. The otherworldly inhabitants scare away many a patron, but those willing to soldier on are able to have a stiff drink to calm the nerves during the tour. Tour 2.0 takes ghost hunting to the next level, exposing the ugly truth behind the ghouls’ menacing presence. Those truly obsessed with the supernatural also have the opportunity to spend the night in Shaker’s haunted penthouse, where a girl was brutally murdered more than a century ago. Past guests claim to unknowingly capture pictures of ghosts, become physically ill and see dark figures move across the room – and always loving every minute of it.

Mars Haunted House
Wisconsin Feargrounds
Mars Haunted House has the creepiest history of our selection. This haunted house was the scene of a grisly murder back in the ‘40s when a father lost his job and killed his family. According to the legend, items move around without explanation and prevent workers from making renovations. It has since been declared a site of paranormal activity. Today actors recreate scenes from the building’s tortured past, perhaps aided by the mudered Milton family themselves. Located downtown this relatively small haunted attraction is the city’s best haunted house tour to get to via the bus.
Now in its 10th year, the Wisconsin Feargrounds features three different haunted houses populated with actors to scare the spit out of you: Morgan Manor, CarnEvil and Unstable. In Morgan Manor, Morgana and her eight sisters terrify their guests and put on a show preying on fear. In Unstable, Bezel and a Hillbilly Horde (yes, hillbillies) are out to get you to join the walking dead. Good luck getting through their labyrinth of “Deliverance” style horrors. New this year to the Feargrounds, CarnEvil bills itself as a “freak show of fun” and features Morgana and her sisters possessing a new crop of minions on the hunt.

Milwaukee horror puppet show invades the Oriental ‘Night of the Living Dead: The Puppet Show’ twists classic By Claire Nowak

“Night of the Living Dead: The Puppet Show” is a parody of George Romero’s classic 1968 zombie film, “Night of the Living Dead” with, you guessed it, zombie puppets. In a handcrafted and utterly original Milwaukee production, the show updates the horror classic with a felt face. The show will be performed at the Oriental Theatre tonight at 7:30 after countless hours of preparation from puppeteers, backstage crew and the masterminds behind the production, Angry Young Men Ltd..

Think of how much better your favorite plays would be if you added puppets. “Uncle Vanya” starring The Swedish Chef. Lambchop in “The Vagina Monologues.”” Lumpy has been with the group since 2010, three years after founder Billy Ray OIsen started Angry Young Men with Josh Perkins, Liz Ahlstrom and Joe Janswug, who met at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee’s Peck School of the Arts. “(The founders) got an offer from the “It Came From Lake
Michigan” horror convention to do whatever they wanted with puppets, and thought ‘Why not?’” Lumpy explained. “They got a lot of their mad scientist friends and drinking buddies involved pretty quick. … I believe they were drunk at the time.” That offer sparked the idea for the puppets to meet “Night of the Living Dead,” an unlikely but surprisingly entertaining combination. “Zombies and puppets! Two great tastes that taste great together!” Lumpy said. “Night of the Living Dead is a bona fide classic. It’s the original cannibal zombie film! It’s also public domain, so we can’t get sued.” Once the idea was set and approved by the other group members, who, Lumpy explained, “smiled the smiles of the mischief-prone”, they began preparation for Milwaukee’s first zombie puppet show. “Boy howdy, it was a lot of

work!” Lumpy said. “They created everything by scratch – the sets, the props, and the cast. Then they remade everything better. Then they remade it again, mostly in each other’s living rooms and basement workshops. But it all begins with the script. Since there was a script already for the movie, we just cribbed that and added jokes.” The creators also had to make the show’s stars, felt creatures that resemble goofy, slightly gruesome Muppets. “Every puppet in our shows is a handmade, custom-built masterpiece; each one lovingly and painstakingly crafted by the finest puppet artisans,” Lumpy said. “Or at least by the folks in the group who can sew and fabricate.” The show premiered six years ago, bringing the zombie classic to life and has returned every year. While the show’s organizers take the show to regional horror conventions and theater festivals, they plan to always return to The Oriental for special Halloween performance.
“The folks just love us!” Lumpy said. “We’ve performed at horror conventions and theater festivals to packed houses and rave reviews. Both fanboys and artsyfartsy types can agree, this is one heckuva show.” The draw seems to be longlasting, with Milwaukee devotees returning year after year to catch the show. “It’s scary! It’s funny! It’s even a little sexy, if you’re into that sort of thing,” Lumpy said giving his production one final pitch. “There’s zombies! And other monsters! And wacky jokes! There’s some strange and nifty opening acts! You’ll still get out in time to go clubbing! The Oriental Theatre has a liquor license! You can brag to all of your friends about the crazy puppet show that you went to see on Halloween and they’ll all be so jealous of you that you’re so cool and caught the best show in Milwaukee on Halloween! Better yet, bring them along.”
A MKE Ghost Story By Maddy Kennedy
Brutal murders, huge fires, unexplained suicides and other true hauntings litter Milwaukee’s history. Some believe the victims of these tragedies were never quite able to leave the city behind. Allison Jornlin of milwaukeeghosts.com told the Trib one of Milwaukee’s best ghost stories. In 1959, WTMJ Public Relations Executive Clair Richardson founded the Skylight Music Theatre with the mission to bring cultural variety to Milwaukee. Richardson was a quirky man with a larger than life personality and a unique last wish: to be buried underneath the Skylight stage so that, “His successors would know that all decisions were made over his dead body,” according to Jornlin. Richardson’s colleagues honored his last wish in 1993 and created a small shrine complete with his urn underneath the stage at Skylight’s new location in the Broadway Theatre. The shrine included many of Richardson’s personal belongings and a spotlight that shines on the urn and is meant to never go out. But just months after Richardson’s urn arrived in the theater, the crew began to have strange experiences. One night during a live performance, stage lights began malfunctioning and stopped responding to the crew’s commands. A stagehand then went underneath the stage to find Richardson’s bulb had burnt out. Immediately after he replaced the bulb, the lights began working correctly and crewmembers experienced no further problems. Checking Richardson’s spotlight became a tradition before live performances. Last fall during a performance of “Avenue Q” a smoke machine malfunctioned filing the theater with fog and set off the alarm system. The theater was evacuated and the Milwaukee Fire Department showed up to investigate. When staff members went back into the theater, they discovered the bulb in Richardson’s spotlight was out.
1. “Heads Will Roll” - The Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Apex remix) A great remix of this Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ apocalyptic anthem manages to be spooky and danceable at the same time. 2. “Strange Times” - The Black Keys The duo behind the Black Keys released this track just before striking it big with “Tighten Up.” With the riff-heavy sound and creepy howling vocal from Dan Auerbach, this sounds like the soundtrack to a haunting. 3. “Monster”- Kanye West (featuring Jay-Z, Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj) Full of now-festive monster jokes and one of Nicki Minaj’s best moments on a killer extended verse. “Monster” still has so much bite. 4. “Wolf Like Me”- TV On the Radio This song is so infectious. It feels like a full moon and just running wild. Werewolves haven’t been this sexy since Lupin. 5. “Red Right Hand”- Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Nick Cave is just one of the best Halloween musicians. He’s the best at an ominous lyric and has more songs about bloody murder than nearly anyone else. 6. “Spooky”- Dusty Springfeild This is a Halloween classic. Both charming and creepy with Springfeild’s smoky voice setting the scene. 7. “Come On-A My House”- Roseanne Clooney With a great throwback sound, this is the perfect Halloween come-hither song. We here on Marquee think she might mean something other than skittles by “candy.” 8. “Monster Mash” - Bobby “Boris” Pickett This will always and forever be a great song.

Disparities in education should be thing of past
STAFF EDITORIAL
MUSG shouldn’t deny funding for NOLA service organization
Infographic by Maddy Kennedy/madeline.kennedy@marquette.edu
Our view: MUSG’s reasoning for excessively cutting MARDI GRAS funding was misguided. The funding should be reinstated through the appeal process. During January, the student-led service organization MARDI GRAS will send 98 students to New Orleans on its annual winter break trip without any funding from Marquette Student Government. MARDI GRAS has brought about 1,500 Marquette students on service trips to the Gulf since 2006 and has an active membership of more than 500 students, according to its website. MUSG’s Student Organization Funding Committee decided to cut all funding from the popular organization because, as MUSG Executive Vice President and SOF Committee Chairman Zach Bowman said, “as we look forward we noticed that they will continue to ask us for money in perpetuity unless at some point we say that we think we could be spending this money somewhere better.” The SOF Committee cited its previous significant contributions to the group – 21.7 percent of all non-club sports allocations last year – and the lack of fundraising that MARDI GRAS does, as reasons for declining to fund the upcoming trip. Yet, MUSG decided to reduce the size of the committees available allocations in recent years because many funds went unused. As one of the larger organizations on campus, it stands to reason that MARDI GRAS should extract a large portion of the funding from the SOF Committee. Furthermore, the committee’s claim that MARDI GRAS does not fundraise misses the point. They may not sponsor penny challenges or bake sales, which are notorious for being a lot of work with a small payoff, but students who go on trips contribute significant funds. Participants on last year’s winter break trip each paid $200 out of pocket. It seems as if the committee penalized MARDI GRAS because its participants pay trip fees and don’t bake brownies. Traditionally, the New Orleans service group received about 12 percent of the SOF budget. However, for this
funding period it will not receive a dime of the $10,000 requested to help subsidize the trip. The SOF Committee has continued to fund club sports, such as the rowing team ($6,339.33), the waterski and wakeboard team ($2,744.86) and ice hockey ($9,945.78), which is the second-best attended sport on campus, next to men’s basketball. These funds come out of student activity fees yet are much less inclusive and, with the exception of hockey, much less popular than MARDI GRAS. Meanwhile, the SOF Committee continued to fund nearly every other request of more than $1,000 with the exception of the Panhellenic Association’s request for funding of the Marquette Women’s Leadership Conference. The only funding request more than $1,000 funded in full was the College Republican’s $15,000 request for guest speaker Steve Forbes. If the point of the Committee’s cuts was to encourage greater fundraising on the part of MARDI GRAS, that point could be made by only partially granting the funding request, like they did with most other organizations that requested large sums of money. The harsh cuts will prevent students without financial means from participating in the service trip and, in the long run, hurt those in New Orleans who benefit from the organizations service work the most. It is disconcerting that the SOF Committee decided to cut funding to MARDI GRAS, one of Marquette’s most prominent and successful service organizations, not for budgetary reasons, but because they are not sustainable enough. While this isn’t the first time that the committee denied funding to MARDI GRAS, it should be the last time the service organization is denied all funding requested. These funds should be reinstated through an appeal process. MUSG shouldn’t focus on cutting service trip funding, but rather stick to what it does best by compiling a consensus of student opinion and crafting legislative proposals for the administration.
Helen Hillis Access to quality education, regardless of socioeconomic status, is a fundamental human right. Most people would undoubtedly agree with this sentiment. As a culture, we tend to speak highly of education. But as a society, we have not demonstrated a commitment to this cultural value. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 ended racial segregation in schools. It did not, however, end socioeconomic segregations. In 2013, the average income level of district residents defines the performance of its schools at alarming rates. The educational disparity that exists between students in low-income communities and students in high-income communities is the most important issue facing our nation today. By the time they reach the fourth grade, students growing up in low-income communities are already two to three grade levels behind in reading and math from their high-income peers. That means students in low-income communities could be stuck on “See Spot Run” when students in high-income communities might be reading “Harry Potter.” In 2007, the National Assessment of Educational Progress found high school graduates from low-income communities perform, on average, at the level of eighth graders in higher-income communities. A study by Education Trust, an organization promoting high academic achievement for all students at every level, showed students from families earning more than $90,000 have a 50 percent chance of graduating from college by age 24. When family income drops to $35,000, that number plummets to about 5.8 percent, or one in 17 students. Imagine yourself as a first grader in a class with 16 other students. Now imag-
ine every student in your class is from a low-income community. One of you will graduate from college by the time you are 24. Only half of you will graduate from high school. Students in low-income communities face more than the challenge of poorly funded schools. Parental instability, nutrition, access to adequate mentoring programs and countless other external factors take a toll on a student’s education. The issue is not that these students don’t want to learn. It’s that our nation denies our students access to a quality education. In all 50 states, the annual cost of taking care of an inmate is greater than the annual cost of a student in public school. If you are a black male growing up in a low-income community, you are nearly five times more likely to be incarcerated than graduate from college by age 24. A study by Northeastern University showed one in 10 high school dropouts will be incarcerated compared to one in 35 high school graduates. Incarceration not only affects the life of the individual, but also the life of his or her family. Conversations with educators in lowincome communities confirmed this belief. One teacher noted many students make multiple household changes throughout the year. These changes often happen as a result of the incarceration of a parent. Moving into a grandparent’s or aunt’s house can mean a change in school district, which disrupts not only the continuity of the student’s education, but also the fluidity of classroom dynamics. Education’s importance goes beyond the rights of an individual. It relates directly to the success of a community. The sense of stability brought about by an educated society is imperative to its success. When a community, particularly one populated by low-income families, is freed of the disruptions of crime, incarceration and all other forms of instability, it has the potential to redefine its future. It is vital that our nation addresses this disparity if we hope to move forward as a leader in the world, particularly one that claims to uphold human rights for all of its citizens.

America’s pastime is more than just a game
Eric Oliver The Green Monster, Joe DiMaggio’s 56 game hitting streak, the great homerun battle between Sosa and McGuire and, at least for me, the 2005 World Series. These are the things that make baseball the greatest game ever played and why it will always be America’s pastime. In the weeks leading up to this year’s World Series, the decline of its popularity became a common subject for sports journalists. Since the ’70s, the series has
been on a constant decline with the 2012 contest between the San Francisco Giants and the Detroit Tigers posting the lowest numbers of all, an average of 12.7 million viewers per game. This year’s series saw a rise in popularity, some attributing it to the Red Sox’s ability to bring dynamo numbers whenever they are involved. Game 1 attracted 14.4 million viewers; Game 2, 13.4 million; Game 3, 12.5 million viewers and Game 4, 16.6 million viewers. Despite these numbers, the rumors that baseball lost its title as the great American pastime still run rampant. But I have to disagree. I was born a fan of the White Sox. Some of the earliest memories I have are of going to Comiskey Park, what is now U.S. Cellular Field, when I was a kid. I’ve seen them all: Frank Thomas, Michael Jordan, Mark Buehrle, Paul Konerko. The list goes on and on. Baseball is about more than just view-
ers and television ratings. Some of the best experiences of my life were thanks to the White Sox. I’ll always remember watching Mark Buehrle’s perfect game at home. I’ll never forget my first Crosstown Classic. There is something about the tradition and the narrative of the game that make it so much more magical than its biggest sports rival football. Throughout American history one thing remains consistent: baseball. In WWI, grenades were modified to be similar to baseballs because American GIs could throw them farther. As America industrialized, construction workers went to the tops of buildings and dropped baseballs off them to their colleagues below, something that would later prove to be very dangerous as the balls would accelerate to hand shattering speeds. Even the first commercial bats could be a symbol of America because they were made by a German furniture maker trying to manufacture the Ameri-
can dream. The saying “baseball is as American as apple pie” is backward. Apple pie is as American as baseball, because baseball is America. The realm of its influence is incredible, and it can be seen throughout the world – the World Baseball Classic being just one example. Yes, football exploded in popularity since it was first introduced, but that shouldn’t be surprising. It’s a lot more interesting and action happens all the time. But football will never replace the simplicity of baseball. There is nothing better than going out on a hot summer day in July to sit under the blazing sun and watch two pitchers duel it out. Every game has its own story. Its own magic. It is something that football just can’t replicate, no matter how hard it tries.

Shutouts expected for MU
Photo by Sarah Arnold/Marquette images
Since Oct. 8, Marquette has not surrendered a single goal. The shutout streak has reached 491 minutes, the longest of the season and continues a trend of stellar Marquette defense.
Four of the last five seasons has included multi-game streak By Kyle Doubrava
kyle.doubrava@marquette.edu
It has been four weeks since the Marquette women’s soccer team (15-3-0, 8-0-0) surrendered a goal, but don’t look for the Golden Eagles to pat each other on the back just yet. Five straight matches without allowing a goal is quite conventional for this program. Marquette, winner of five consecutive Big East regular season titles, has been diligent
on the defensive end for several years. Its most recent demonstration is its 491-minute streak of not yielding a score. “Our back line has been playing really solid this year,” junior midfielder Mady Vicker said. “I’m just proud of all our girls. They always work hard and they deserve it, obviously. It really helps us to let us score.” Last season, Marquette had two five-game shutout streaks. The team completed two fourgame shutout stretches in 2011, and the streak in 2009 lasted seven games. The Golden Eagles rank 41st in the nation in goals allowed per game, and coach Markus Roeders does not

hesitate to credit that to the growing team chemistry. “The strength for us has always been the team,” Roeders said. “I think in every sport you would love to have that. I think in basketball you’d love to win 82-0. It’s not going to happen most likely, but we have that in our sport. We will always go for that.” Without doubt, the key contributors to Marquette’s defensive reputation are the goalkeepers, sophomore Amanda Engel and junior Sofie Schunk. Engel, who played 94 percent of the team’s total minutes this year, was immediately put to the test in front of the net last year and lived up to the challenge. She was named to the Big East All-Third Team and to the All-Rookie Team. Although some of the nine shutouts this fall saw few, if any, shots on goal against Engel, she is always prepared to do her part. “To start out the way I did is kind of difficult to live up to,” Engel said. “I’ve got to do what I’ve got to do.” Engel believes the constant communication in the backfield during games paid dividends for Marquette. She won’t emphasize personal achievements or shutout streaks as long as the wins keep mounting. “I don’t really focus on it,” Engel said. “I always love getting shutouts and it’s always great. I’m more upset if we don’t, but when we do it’s more just satisfaction. It’s really just the focus on the winning part that I care about.” Roeders always had elevated expectations for the defense,

especially Engel and Schunk. Engel has two years remaining at Marquette, and the exposure in a competitive Big East will only improve her game. “We have the luxury of not having (just) one, we have a couple of really strong goalkeepers,” Roeders said. “It’s like how it’s not just one defender or two defenders who seem to step up, it’s the whole group.” The goalies’ success places less stress on the midfielders and forwards to rack up goals, but that doesn’t mean
they don’t appreciate what the defense produces. “The saves they make, it’s really irreplaceable,” Vicker said. “There’s been a couple of really close chances in the last few games and our keepers have come up with big saves and saved our butts. That happens a lot, so the fact they’ve kept us at a clean slate is unreal.” The Golden Eagles close the regular season Saturday when they host Butler. Marquette will then play in the Big East Championship Semifinals Nov. 8 at Valley Fields.

Last-minute sports costumes 10 deadline ideas for Halloween that will get you a trophy By Trey Killian
robert.killian@marquette.edu
It’s Halloween, you don’t have any costume ideas and you’re an avid sports fan. What to do? In the spirit of the holiday season, I offer a list of 10 last-second options. 10. Vagabond Tebow Kudos to the Marquette student spotted on campus last Friday in this simple, yet memorable get up. ESPN has kept all of us well informed on Tim Tebow’s fall from grace. From leading Denver to a thrilling playoff overtime win to currently seeking an NFL roster spot, any move the young QB makes is swiftly made headline news. What you need: A Tebow jersey (Jets, Broncos or Florida will do) and a long stick with a knapsack tied on the end. Note: If going with a Florida jersey, jorts are an acceptable accompaniment. 9. Baby Dez Bryant This one’s pretty topical, but applicable to your favorite crybaby sports star. Sidney Crosby is a popular alternative. As the Dallas Cowboys saw what would’ve been an impressive road victory in Detroit slip away this weekend, cameras captured an unhappy Bryant in a heated exchange with teammate Jason Witten. What you need: One Dez Bryant jersey and any variety of baby accessories: a
bottle, pacifier, bonnet, large cloth diaper, etc. 8. Manti Teo’s girlfriend Quite possibly the simplest costume idea available. Last college football season, Notre Dame linebacker Manti Teo fell victim to a “catfish” scandal in which his significant other was discovered to be nonexistent. What you need: Nothing. Don’t go out or show up to any Halloween events. 7. Lyin’ Braun This could be a popular one with many Wisconsin sports fans. Brewers’ left fielder Ryan Braun was the subject of national scrutiny as he was suspended for PED use this season after vehemently claiming he was clean a year earlier. What you need: A Braun jersey (you could probably buy one fairly cheap off a disgruntled Milwaukee fan, or find one at your local dump) and either a long fake wooden nose a la Pinocchio, or pants with attached fake or drawn-on flames. 6. Nate Burleson Topical, but a good laugh for most NFL fans. A few weeks ago, Lions wide receiver Nate Burleson broke his arm in a car accident while taking his arms off the wheel to prevent a pizza from falling to the floor. What you need: Wear a Burleson jersey, bandage one arm and carry a pizza box under your opposing arm. 5. Tyson and Holyfield: A good costume for couples and friends. Many will never forget the infamous night former boxing great Mike

Tyson bit off part of opponent Evander Holyfield’s ear. What you need: Two pairs of boxing shorts, red marker and a fake bloody ear. 4. Orange Peanut A great cultural reference that will resonate with viewers of the “Bad Lip Reading of NFL Players” video. What you need: An Adrian Peterson jersey and a bag of circus peanuts. Could potentially work with a Marshawn Lynch jersey and Skittles. 3. David Freeze For the punny ones. A play on the last name of the St. Louis Cardinals’ 2011 World Series hero. What you need: A Freese jersey and blue face paint and/or Batman villain Mr. Freeze related accessories. 2. Obi-Wan Ginobili Spurs and Star Wars fans rejoice in another punny tribute to one of San Antonio’s greatest sports icons. What you need: A Ginobili jersey, a brown robe and a fake lightsaber. 1. Johnny Manziel This one’s perfect for any fan of college football. Just don’t wear it if you’re attending a party at the University of Texas. What you need: A Manziel jersey, fake money to throw around throughout the night, a black marker and various signed pictures. Honorable mention: Dino Chris Bosh, Megatron, Craig Sager, a blind referee or any awful team’s jersey with a brown paper bag over your head.

ND penalty for cheating keeps trend
Trey Killian Notre Dame football returned to national prominence last year with a berth in the National Championship game. Former quarterback Everett Golson was a huge reason for the Irish’s rise, but during the offseason he was dismissed from the team for a previously undisclosed academic violation. Golson admitted in a candid Tuesday interview with Sports Illustrated that his expulsion came from “poor judgment in a test situation” and rather indirectly clarified that he had cheated on a test. His admission should come as a surprise to NCAA President Mark Emmert. In a forum at the Marquette Law School back on Sept. 16, Emmert claimed cheating among student athletes has gone down recently. “If you talk to people who have been in the collegiate sports world for 20, 30, 40 years, they will routinely tell you that there’s less cheating going on,” Emmert said. “Not necessarily because people are more admirable, but because it’s harder to get away with.” Notre Dame could be lauded for not allowing their star player to get away with cheating. It is, after all, one of the top academic programs in the country, or at least that’s how the public perceives it. But if that’s the case, why did Notre Dame tell Golson that he could reapply for the spring 2014 semester? In doing so, wouldn’t he be taking the spot of a prospective student who maybe doesn’t have a history of
academic dishonesty? By allowing him the opportunity to return, regardless of what school policy may be, Notre Dame is reinforcing a hurtful national mindset. Basically, if you’re a good enough athlete, eventually no one will care what violation or crime you may have committed in the past. Take Tuesday’s highly anticipated return of Derrick Rose to the Chicago Bulls. The young former MVP has rapidly become the face of the franchise. But how might his story have unfolded had he been exposed for allegedly allowing a standin to take his ACT? Every college student, athlete or not, is given a thorough briefing on the penalties associated with cheating. At Marquette, students have the principles of academic dishonesty beaten into their heads during syllabus week at the beginning of every semester. It can be argued that Golson served his punishment and should be given a second chance. Sports are all about championing individual comebacks anyway. But how much of Golson’s opportunity comes from who he is on the football field? Would an average Notre Dame student get the same treatment had they been caught and expelled for the same violation? This sends a message to other student athletes that even if you break what could be considered the golden rule of academics, you could be back on the field or court, representing your university within a semester or two. Golson’s case is not by any means exclusive to this argument, as cheating occurs at all levels of education amongst students and student athletes alike. His situation just happens to be the most recent high profile example of a disturbing pattern. Ultimately, his second chance should come as an insult to academically honest students across the country who may sacrifice high grades for personal integrity.

Soccer trieds for perfect conference play in weekend Marquette volleyball at Butler Friday Nov. 1, 6:00 p.m. CT, Hinkle Fieldhouse
Marquette faces a stiff challenge coming off of a perfect 3-0 weekend and that begins Friday in Indianapolis against Butler. The Bulldogs ripped off an impressive 13-2 non-conference season, and have only fallen to Creighton and Xavier since conference play began. The Golden Eagles cannot take them lightly, especially since Butler beat Creighton at home Oct. 4. Butler sits in fourth place in the conference and is just two games behind first place Marquette. Junior outside hitter Belle Obert leads Butler’s offense with 3.39 kills per set. The Bulldogs boast a potent net defense, with four players averaging more than a block per set. Junior middle blocker Erica Stahl leads that charge with 1.43 blocks per set. Marquette
will need to start strong and vary its attack to avoid a road dog fight. Prediction: Marquette in 4 Marquette volleyball at Xavier Saturday Nov. 2, 6:00 p.m. CT, Cintas Center If Marquette survives its test against Butler, the weekend only gets more difficult as second place Xavier looms Saturday night in Cincinnati. The Musketeers proved themselves as an upper-echelon Big East volleyball program, as both of their in-conference defeats came at the hands of Creighton. They will face a quick turnaround as well, as cellar dweller DePaul rolls into town Friday night. Xavier has a dynamic freshman outside hitter to counter Marquette’s Autumn Bailey. Hebron, Ky. native Abbey Bessler averages 3.64 kills per set. Senior outside hitter
Sarah Brown gives the Musketeers a versatile weapon, as she averages roughly two kills and four digs per set. Marquette’s defense will need to set up opportunities for its powerful offense in this match-up. Prediction: Marquette in 4 Marquette women’s soccer vs. Butler Saturday Nov. 2, 5:30 p.m., Valley Fields Already Big East regular season champions and guaranteed a first-round bye in next week’s conference tournament, Marquette accomplished everything it needed to at this stage. Saturday’s match against Butler is Senior Night, and although this contest would be an appropriate time to see the reserves play some minutes, this will be a night for the veterans to take the spotlight. It won’t be Marquette’s last game of the fall at Valley Fields, though. The
Golden Eagles will host the Big East Championship next week, so the seniors will have at least one more hurrah on home turf. Butler rebounded well in conference play since starting 0-3. The Bulldogs won four of their last five, most recently a 1-0 overtime victory at Creighton. The team is led by sophomore midfielder Sophia Maccagnone, scoring 25 points and three game-winners. The Bulldogs are still trying to hold on to the fourth seed, so this match will still be significant for them. Marquette’s seniors, however, will not let the Bulldogs spoil their evening and finish league action with an unblemished 9-0-0 record. Prediction: Marquette 4-0 Marquette men’s soccer vs. Seton Hall Saturday Nov. 2, 8:05 p.m., Valley Fields Men’s soccer faces Seton Hall
this weekend on Senior Night at Valley Fields. The Pirates have not enjoyed much success this season. However, they are coming off a big upset over formerly-ranked Creighton 3-2 at home, while Marquette is coming off its first Big East loss of the year. Despite playing well at home, Seton Hall is a measly 1-5-1 away. Marquette has a 4-2-1 record for both home and away matches, but play relatively better at the Valley and must take advantage of the home field. Offensively, the scoring was non-existent in recent games. Currently on a 201-minute scoring drought, Marquette must take advantage of a Pirates squad that struggles to keep the ball out of the net. This is a great opportunity for the Golden Eagles to gain their scoring confidence back, and with two games remaining before the postseason, this is a must. Prediction: 2-0 Marquette
Cross Country to host Big East Championships Both teams will send twelve runners to Somers, Wis., course By Ryan Patterson Special to the Tribune
The Marquette men’s and women’s cross country teams will host the 2013 Big East Championships for the second time in five years Saturday at the Wayne E. Dannehl National Cross Country Course in Somers, Wis., about forty minutes from campus.
The meet begins at 11 a.m. with the men’s 8K race, followed by the women’s 6K race at 11:50 a.m. “This year is especially special because this is the first championship of the newly realigned Big East,” coach Mike Nelson said. “Being really close gives us a good opportunity to stay fresh and run well,” redshirt sophomore Blake Lawson said. The women’s side is in arguably the best conference in the nation, with three of the top seven programs in the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association
Coaches Poll, including No. 3 Georgetown, No. 4 Providence and No. 7 Butler, with Villanova also receiving votes. With such a talented field, the race will certainly be the most competitive of the season so far for Marquette. Nelson said he believes the Golden Eagles will be near the front, and that the Big East is “absolutely loaded … we know who our main competition will be. We think it’s Xavier, so it’ll be a battle between us and them.” The men’s quality field includes 19th ranked Providence and 26th ranked Villanova, with
Butler receiving votes. Nelson said he thinks Marquette should be close behind these top three teams and said the team is “looking for a top five finish on the men’s side.” Finishing better than seventh would be the best Big East finish ever for the men’s team. Other benefits come with hosting the meet, including familiarity with the course and more spectators cheering the teams on. “To me, I consider it to be my home course, so you know the ups and downs of the course,” said freshman Brittney Feivor, who is a Kenosha Tremper
High School graduate. Feivor is confident in her and her teammates’ abilities, and is hopeful for a top four finish in the stacked field. With all the anticipation and excitement leading up to the meet, “getting in the top four would be icing on the cake.” Both the men’s and women’s teams will be sending twelve runners to the Big East championships. The field for the women’s will include every Big East school, whereas the men’s side will include every school in the conference except St. John’s.
